Again I say, I'm all for the President's initiative on Illegals, if it is coupled with closing our southern borders.

Richardson focused on immigration. He called the president's plan
"a small step forward" that included "some positive points." But he said
the plan was a "dead end" for Hispanics because it "does not help immigrant workers to obtain the golden dream: legalization and residency without impunity." Richardson also used the issue as an opening to attack the Republican party in general, saying "The Republican Party has collectively ruined much for us." Now, he said, Bush's plan "is even being strongly opposed by conservative members of his own party."
****
How has ANYONE ruined ANYTHING for him?! Unless, we want to include Monica Lewinsky's PRIVATE meetings with him to keep her mouth shut and find her a job, I would say that he has done pretty well.

"In this election, the Hispanic vote will be critical because of our large numbers in states like Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, California, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York." Huh. I wonder why he didn't mention Texas.

Wonder if the Richardson response will air on Telemundo.

... legalization and residency without (sic) impunity... Now, by G-d, THAT'S an idea I can get behind!
It's the morons who want this with impunity who get under my skin.
Of course, there's little reason in any case to expect any proper use of the language by any Clintonista bootlicker such as Ol' Pudgy.

I wondered the same. Could it just be a error in the transcription, or has he just given up on Texas giving its electoral votes to a Democrat?

Why, THIS is discriminatory!!!!!!!!
Much the same as the DMV and voting forms in California are in different languages, we need to start giving these speeches in ALL the languages of the American populous......NOT just Spanish!
What about Mandarin?
What about Mongolian?
What about Bora Boran?
What about Martian?

"The Republican Party has collectively ruined much for us." - Richardson... "us" being Hispanics, and particularly illegal immigrants as this is what this is all about.
Welcome to the next installment of 'Bosnia Redux'! Democrats are not only fanning the flames of class warfare but race and ethnic warfare. They had better hope their secret wish doesn't come true!

Wasn't Richardson Monica Lewinsky's employment agent in NY while he was serving his Masters at the UN?
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Richardson is such a mega-goober, I'm suprised he can tie his shoelaces let alone draft a speech.

Bill Richardson is going to be John Edwards VP choice. Watch carefully.
To: reflecting
I think you are correct. Edwards/Richardson 04'

Huh. I wonder why he didn't mention Texas. Texas is Bush Country. Since the Rats won't carry Texas, they will ignore the hispanic population here. This does point out the blatant partisanship disguised as bipartisanship. He is appealing to hispanics by claiming that Republicans are racist. There's nothing new, there. What would be news would be an election where the Rats DIDN'T play the race card. However, most Texans are very comfortable with a multicultural environment. However, we're all TEXANS. As a white Texan, I have no problem with Mexicans who want to become Texans. I have a huge problem with the governmental system in Mexico. I have no problem with Mexicans coming to Texas to work. I have a big problem with Mexicans coming to Texas to collect welfare.
What I'm saying is, it's not about race and it's not about culture (at least not Mexican culture). It's about politics, and I'm a h*ll of a lot closer politically to most of the Mexicans I know and work with than I am to Robert Redford, with whom I share a race lineage.
I also must confess that most Texans I know, given a choice, would rather stop the Yankee migration to Texas than the Mexican one.
