The Law vs Politics

California Democratic congressional candidate Francine Busby was caught on tape Thursday night exhorting illegal aliens in Escondido to vote for her in the race to fill the seat vacated by Randy "Duke” Cunningham, who was convicted last year of taking bribes.

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, many in the audience were Latinos who couldn't speak English. Toward the end of the meeting, a man asked in Spanish: "I want to help, but I don't have papers.”

"It was translated and Busby replied: 'Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely, you can all help. You don't need papers for voting, you don't need to be a registered voter to help.'”

Busby's GOP opponent, Brian Bilbray, immediately seized on her remarks:
"She's soliciting illegal aliens to campaign for her and it's on tape – this isn't exactly what you call the pinnacle of ethical campaign strategy," he told the Tribune. "I don't know how she shows her face."

The abbreviated version in all this is that Democrats and some Republicans want the Mexican people to have a say in who we elect to govern us... As long as it benefits them. No borders, no identity, no laws, no culture, no problem! Yep, keep the religious Right out of politics, but give the vote to illegal trespassers.
