Only a partisan hack like Art Torres, chairman of the state Democratic Party, sees Bustamante's membership in MEChA, when he was a student at California State University Fresno in the 1970s, as a badge of honor. Republican Tom McClintock is quoted in an interview with the conservative weekly Human Events: "I believe that Cruz Bustamante has a great deal of explaining to do, if he still supports the aims of that organization." At a recent Sacramento news conference, Bustamante sidestepped the MEChA issue. Asked whether he would repudiate MEChA, Bustamante said: "The students that are in MEChA today are just like the students when I was there. Pretty much, they are trying to get an education." That sounds like a direct response to Michelle Malkin's charge, in a column published Monday in the Philadelphia Daily News that called MEChA "one of the nation's most virulently racist organizations."

Yet the Republican National Committee has been caught completely off guard, despite the years warnings of the grass roots about La Raza, la reconquista, and Illegal Aliens.

Northeastern country club Republicans who opposed California's Proposition#187 in 1994, like Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett, are as much to blame here as Art Torres.

The malfeasance on Illegal Aliens is decidedly bi-partisan.

Have they been caught off guard, or are they merely looking the other way, hoping the problem goes away? In either case, their refusal to address the situation and will of the people is a slap in the face to all legal immigrants and law-abiding tax-paying citizens.

This recall is getting crazier and crazier. One show on afternoon TV today referred to Arnold's gaff on South Africa years ago as "a slur against African-Americans". How does a statement (right or wrong) that turning South Africa over to the indigenous people would result in chaos (which it has) have anything to do with African-Americans? Pure "liberal-think". Also today, my illustrious mayor Willie Brown made a statement in an interview when asked about the bill Davis signed yesterday about illegal immigrants being granted drivers' licenses that really defines the core differences between the left and the right. He said that the bill was a good thing because anyone can buy counterfiet licenses in any city in the state and that laws that can be broken shouldn't be made. This shows the basic rotten roots of leftism. If we don't like the laws we don't have to obey them. If people are breaking laws then the laws are bad not the law-breakers.

Bush has got to toughen up on controlling our borders.

Bustamante was raised in California and certainly had a choice about which kind of Chicano group he might want to join. I'm sure there were some just social groups --- but he didn't join one of those. There was the leftist pro-labor union but not racist and not America-hating Cesar Chavez farm worker group but he didn't join that one either. He chose the very racist very radical group which calls for the overthrow and destruction of the USA.

We know what "MECHA" has to say. This is going around on the net and should serve as a response to "MECHA":
