Immigration debate unifies California GOP
Moderates lose ground as the primary focuses
attention on the issue that once split the party
Thirteen years after
a ballot measure against illegal immigration fractured the state
Republican Party, the issue again is front and center in California's
upcoming presidential primary.
Moderates who have argued that an unyielding
stance against illegal immigration would further erode the party's
strength in this increasing polyglot state have effectively been
silenced by GOP forces calling for a hard-line crackdown.
However, Whalen cautioned that candidates
who veer too far right will become susceptible to being branded
as racially divisive, as Wilson was after he backed Proposition
187 during his bid for reelection.
Our Comment: What nonsense. Wilson
united California and was re-elected because of Proposition 187.
Our video "Courage and Capitulation in California"
told the whole story. |
