McClintock on Top in California Illegals Debate Cal Thomas Syndicated Columnist
Watching the debate among candidates for California governor -- should the recall be approved October 7 -- was an exercise in political correctness run amok. Only state Senator Tom McClintock had the guts to say what needed to be said.
While others mostly pandered to the Latino crowd by falling all over themselves, saying illegal immigrants should be welcomed and given driver's licenses and services, McClintock said they should receive no benefits at all.
He is right, but being right in politics no longer matters. Getting elected matters. Our politics are so miserable.
If Lt. Governor Bustamante and the rest of the pack won't uphold our laws, what is their purpose for holding office? Don't they take an oath to uphold the law?
This is an open invitation for more illegals to come here, including terrorists. It is more than an outrage. It is criminal that we allow so many people to break our laws and then reward them for doing so.
Good for Tom McClintock for saying the right thing and not pandering.

Cal Thomas=Bustamante supporter! I read on join arnold.com that (R)nold explained that he could vote for Prop 187 and say that children of illegals "deserve everything" because "I have two sides of my mouth for a reason.
The (R)nold Groupies yelled "Yippie! We know how to Triangulate!"

I'm tired of the all the pandering. The illegals need to be deported and the military on the border.

Yeah, but if McC's numbers don't skyrocket on this issue alone, then Mexifornia will become reality in our lifetime. I will stand corrected on this if I'm being hysterical about it but California is on the brink now - I see little hope.
