Even Arnold Schwarzenegger loves immigrants. “I’m one myself,” he reminds California voters. But in 1994 The Terminator supported California’s immigrant bashing Proposition 187, which the courts voided in 1999. The measure aimed to “prevent illegal aliens from receiving benefits or public services in the State of California.” It would also have stopped non-documented aliens from receiving access to public education and medical care.

A Mexican American friend told me she had watched a Spanish language reporter ask Arnold in early August if his vote for Prop 187 would hurt his electoral chances. She recalls his reply as: "You Latins make great music. Keep making great music and leave the politics to me."

Did Arnold really say this?

i especially like these lines from Landua: Mythical America doesn't hold the past one's country of origin -- against people. This nation, after all, consists of immigrants, except for the indigenous people, whose lax immigration policies cost them dearly. In fact, Americans have long held an ambivalent view of newcomers.

3. If Californians.........

elect this POS I'll have lost al faith in America. How the Republicans can still claim the "moral high ground" after backing this missing link is beyond the pale of convemtional logic.
