CNN reported on Thursday that a court ruling temporarily blocked the voting portion of Proposition 200. The Propostion was desgnied to block illegal immigrants fom voting and receiving social services. According to that law, all Arizonans would have to present a proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Tucson Citizen reports that the law often prevented elderly and minorities from voting becasue they couldn’t obtain the proof of citizenship.
On Friday I watched O’Reilly’s Factor for a few minutes only becuase Bill O’Reilly was “interrogating” Nativo Lopez, President of Mexican American Political Association. O’Reilly was curious what Lopez thought of Governor Schwarzenegger’s comments made earlier that day. The Governor said Mexicans should “assimilate into the American culture and become part of the American fabric.” Schwarzenegger was obviously drawing on his own experiences. Lopez said he was deeply offended by those remarks.
O’Reilly also pointed out that Lopez supports Columbia students who prevented the Minuetmen from speaking at Columbia University. Lopez said the Minutemen are the modern equivalent of KKK because they incite hatred. O’Reilly said there have been no documented incidents involving the Minutmen. He challenged Lopez to come back on his program next week and prove his point.
I say Lou Dobbs and Bill O’Reilly team up and stop the hords of illegal immigrants, with the help of the Minutemen that is. On Friday, Dobbs sounded like he’s getting ready, “Wake up America, we’re being invaded by a foreign country, he proclaimed on the show.”
