A Washington State Reader Calls
Schwarzenegger’s “Flip-Flop” on Immigration Despicable
From:
Arthur Nation [e-mail
him]
I
just saw
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
performance in San Diego on the evening news.
What a despicable
flip-flop to
pander to the Latinos by saying he made a “mistake”
by voting for Prop 187.
I
cannot stand a politician who doesn’t represent the
people who elected him. Californians that supported Prop
187 were done a great disservice by former
Governor Gray Davis who was instrumental in its
downfall.
Nation
lived in the San Francisco area for over 20 years. He
was in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict and
stationed at
Castle Air Force Base
in California’s Merced
County.

comments on Nation’s letter:
Schwarzenegger can count on a long, hot summer on the
campaign trail unless he changes his tune. According to
the governor’s remarks, he views people who want border
security as “prejudiced.” [
Schwarzenegger
Heckled On Immigration, By
Allison Hoffman, Boston Globe, July 25, 2006]
And
Schwarzenegger, who has been back and forth on illegal
immigration at least a half dozen times, feebly tried to
dodge the question by calling it “a federal issue.”
If
Schwarzenegger, a Republican, wants to be re-elected in
Democratic California here’s what I recommend he say: “As
the governor of the country’s largest state, I promise
that if elected in November I will use all my influence
with the White House to secure California’s border with
Mexico to end illegal immigration.”
