Fabian Nunez in snit over pro-illegal immigration resolution

From this:

The rancorous national debate over illegal immigration spilled into the California Assembly on Tuesday as Democrats yanked an immigration resolution after a testy, partisan exchange that drew an outburst from Speaker Fabian Nunez.

The Los Angeles Democrat emerged from his office to silence Republican critics who were lambasting the nonbinding resolution.

"We're pulling the bill. You've got a problem with that?" he asked before uttering an expletive about Republican nitpicking and leaving the chamber, slamming the door that joins the Assembly to his conference room...

The legislation in question is numbered AJR 51, and it's of the same high quality we've come to expect from a group that reminds me more of Mexican agents than elected U.S. politicians.

The key paragraph (see leginfo.ca.gov for the full text) is where they mischaracterize HR4437:

WHEREAS, Unfortunately, in December 2005, the House of Representatives passed the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (H.R. 4437) that seeks to criminalize an individual for his or her immigration status; make any relative, coworker, parishioner, or friend who provides assistance to an undocumented worker a criminal; deny due process to undocumented immigrants; supersede United States Supreme Court decisions; and infringe on an individual's civil rights. H.R. 4437 is not in our nation's best interests and can only be characterized as mean-spirited, short-sighted, and anti-immigrant...

Even Cardinal Roger Mahony (remember him?) admits that he was exaggerating about HR 4437 and soup kitchens, yet that lie made it into a possible California resolution. Their other claims are probably also lies.

Then, they show what they're really after:

...A bipartisan, comprehensive workable immigration reform package must be based on respect for human rights; a path towards permanent residency and citizenship; enforcement of border policies, protecting the wages and working conditions of all workers, whether U.S. born or immigrant workers; reunification of families; and the promotion of citizenship and civic participation...

This is a bald attempt at obtaining racial power.

Does the CA law of accusation allow for proceedings against officials for failure to register as foreign agents?

Nunez just loves stomping his feet when somebody upsets him, doesn't he!

In this race war, at least Todd Spitzer stood up to la raza.
