BOGOTA (Reuters) - A U.S. congressman said on Thursday he meant no offense when he hoisted himself onto the lectern of Colombia's lower house to address his Andean colleagues, some of whom were offended or simply amused by the faux pas. Colombian newspapers carried pictures of Rep. David Dreier, a California Republican, sitting on top of the wooden podium and talking with local legislators on Tuesday while on an official visit.

Congressman Dreier issued the following statement on Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean: “I was shocked by the verdict in the Ramos/Compean case. It raises serious concerns regarding the Border Patrol’s ability to effectively do their job. The Border Patrol must have the capability to combat drug smugglers and apprehend illegal immigrants. That is why I expressed my concern to House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner and the Department of Justice. I fully support Chairman Sensenbrenner’s plan to investigate the Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Attorney’s...

The Duplicity of Peter Drier on Affordable Housing in the Dupli-City of Los Angeles The Pasadena Pundit - April 13, 2007 Sum: The impossible affordable housing problem in Los Angeles is propelled by images of two persons who never talk to each other. One is of the pro-immigration activist; the other the technocratic affordable housing official, academic and politician. The insolvability of the housing problem is that of the two images are personified by the same person - Pasadena's Dr. Peter Drier. There is a prominent professor of urban policy at a local Los Angeles university who is an apparent...

New York, Mar 13 - The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Exploratory Committee today announced the latest members of a growing California team supporting Rudy Giuliani for President. The endorsements follow a successful swing through the state and an overwhelming response by Californians to Mayor Giuliani’s optimistic vision for the future and proven leadership. In addition to Rep. David Dreier, Rep. Mary Bono and Rep. Devin Nunes, who have already been working to elect Rudy Giuliani President, the Mayor gained the support of Rep. Jerry Lewis, Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, Former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, Board of Equalization Member Michelle Steel, Assemblyman...

The ethics scandals roiling Washington and the subsequent erosion of support for the Republican Party have had little impact on Rep. David Dreier. The Glendora congressman and chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee appears poised to extend his quarter-century in the House of Representatives. Polls show him with a comfortable lead over Democratic challenger Cynthia Rodriguez Matthews in the predominantly Republican 26th District. His nearly $2.3 million campaign war chest, the largest among the state's congressional incumbents, dwarfs Matthews' $67,000. But despite his financial strength, political longevity and squeaky clean ethical track record, Dreier, like many lawmakers these days,...

Illegal Aliens: A Few Myths to Keep in Mind . . . Mexico City. Last Tuesday the Pew Hispanic Center announced that 41 percent of Mexicans surveyed in February and 46 percent questioned in May stated they would live in the United States if given "the means and opportunity." Indeed, two out of 10 people interviewed said they were prepared to enter the U.S. illegally. These figures could have amazing consequences because our Spanish- speaking neighbor has a population of nearly 106 million inhabitants.

Bringing San Diego to the forefront of the immigration debate, House Republicans will hold field hearings on the issue Wednesday at an Imperial Beach border patrol station. Two opposing immigration bills from the House and Senate will head for negotiations after the hearings senators and representatives are holding across the country this summer. San Diego area representatives have been heavily involved in the debate, some authoring sections of the House bill. Measures proposed in the House bill, H.R. 4437, include: making illegal presence in the country a felony, building 698 miles of fencing along the border, requiring employers to use...

After conservatives objected to Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (Ill.) reported plan to make House Rules Chairman David Dreier (Calif.) temporary majority leader to replace the indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (Tex.), House Republicans followed in-house rules and the traditional chain-of-command by elevating Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) to the position. At the same closed-door meeting of the Republican Conference where this decision was formalized, Chief Deputy Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) was elevated one spot to temporarily take Blunt’s job as majority whip. When Blunt, Cantor and Hastert met with reporters following the meeting, Dreier conspicuously joined them. Even though Dreier will hold...

Immigrant funding bill progressing State still shouldering financial burden By Lisa Friedman, Washington Bureau LA Daily News WASHINGTON - California and other border states appear to be gaining ground in efforts to boost federal reimbursement for the costs of keeping criminal illegal immigrants in jail. Legislation passed by the House this week would increase nationwide funding for the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program to $750 million next year. Nationwide, the plan by Reps. David Dreier, R-Glendora, and Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., would raise reimbursement to $950 billion by 2008 - nearly three times more than currently budgeted. The Senate, which...

In a tense power play, House conservatives helped derail the rise of Californian David Dreier to be their acting leader with Tom DeLay under indictment ..... But when a rump group of conservative members saw the reports, they banded together to block Drier, who one aide grumbled "is not a true conservative." Among Dreier's faults, in the eyes of this group: The Californian's pro-trade stance and his votes going against conservative "litmus-test issues." He supports stem-cell research, and he opposes a Constitutional amendment against gay marriage. UP THE BACK STAIRWAY. At a meeting in the Capitol basement, about 30 members...

That is because Tom Delay has now been indicted by a Democratic District Attorney in Texas. From Fox News. Rep. Tom DeLay said he would temporarily step down as House majority leader on Wednesday after he and two political associates were charged by a Texas grand jury with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme. House sources said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill, would recommend Rep. David Dreier of California to take over DeLay’s majority leader duties. There is some talk that the Republican leadership in the House has been preparing for this eventuality. Probably not what Tom Delay was hoping for…to...

Here's a link to David Dreier's official website. Mr. Drier, who will be the acting House Majority Leader, is the representative of the 26th district of California, serving east L.A. County. He is currently the chairman of the Rules committee.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, an indictment that likely will force him to step down as House majority leader. DeLay attorney Steve Brittain said DeLay was accused of a criminal conspiracy along with two associates, John Colyandro, former executive director of a Texas political action committee formed by DeLay, and Jim Ellis, who heads DeLay's national political committee. GOP congressional officials said the plan was for DeLay to temporarily relinquish his leadership post and Speaker Dennis Hastert will recommend that Rep....

THE Prime Minister's son, Euan Blair, has beaten around 100,000 hopefuls to secure an internship with a Republican congressman who is accused by gay rights campaigners of leading a double life. Euan is to work for David Dreier on Capitol Hill in Washington. The coveted intern posts often go to the most academically gifted, but connections are equally important. For a foreigner to be given an internship is highly unusual as the roles often go to graduates from the congressman's local district. Euan, an ancient history graduate of Bristol University, has expressed an interest in entering politics and was a...

REP. David Dreier was in the district last week, pitching his plan to put faces and electronic signature strips on Social Security cards to help employers stay on the immigration straight and narrow. His proposed Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act, however, have some folks crying "Big Brother.' Indeed, while the Glendora Republican denies the card is a national ID, it would eventually be required for every American and would identify that person at least to prospective employers. Dreier notes that the card doesn't qualify as identification because it won't have to be carried at all times. That...

Attention California FReepers. I have an invitation for two to the hot chocolate reception at David Dreier's office on Inauguration morning. Who wants the extra ticket? Someone who wants to discuss illegals?

Making a local push for his proposal to crack down on undocumented immigrants by targeting employers who hire undocumented workers, Rep. David Dreier said Thursday he will be "dogged" in his efforts to make it law. The Glendora Republican, who wants to boost penalties for illegal hiring and add fraud-proof safeguards to Social Security cards - which are required to get a job - said the proposal comes at an opportune time, with Social Security reform about to take center-stage in the Congress. Dreier, who introduced the Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act of 2005 this past week,...

Dreier facing unusual battle By Gary Scott , Staff Writer WEST COVINA -- Rep. David Dreier carries influence in both the White House and the California governor's mansion, has built a second career as a quasi-national GOP spokesman, and his campaign coffers are stuffed full of cash. So the conventional wisdom was that Dreier would breeze into a 13th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Dreier, co-chair of President Bush's re-election campaign in California and informal political adviser for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, will almost certainly walk away with a win Nov. 2. Yet, he will have done so only...

Dreier authors two bills dealing with immigration By BRENDA GAZZAR, Staff Writer Rep. David Dreier, the Glendora Republican who survived re-election last fall amid accusations he is soft on illegal immigration, introduced two immigration bills Tuesday to bolster the security of Social Security cards and to ease the immigration case backlog in federal courts.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Tucked into last week's otherwise predictable California election results lay a cautionary tale about the election year's most uncovered issue: illegal immigration. Republican Rep. David Dreier, the 24-year Los Angeles-area veteran who chairs the powerful House Rules committee, won re-election to his House seat with just under 54 percent of the vote, down from 64 percent in 2002. His Democratic opponent, Cynthia Matthews, won almost 43 percent of the vote, despite spending just over $31,000 in her campaign, compared to more than $900,000 spent by Dreier. A Libertarian candidate won 3.5 percent of the vote. While...

DREIER LOSES ELECTION DAY VOTE!!! It is 2:20am on November 3, 2004. I wanted to make it clear to everyone that while we lost the election we won election day. Dreier broke out in an early lead after the absentee ballots were counted. From that moment forward every time new results were release Matthews gained ground on him. As far as votes cast on November 2nd Dreier lost. The absentee votes saved him. Plus he had to spend a million dollars to keep his job. This is the closest race Dreier has ever had. This campaign was a success. Dreier...

WASHINGTON -- In a complaint to the Federal Elections Commission, the National Republican Campaign Committee accused radio station KFI-AM (640) co-hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou of "criminal behavior" for attacking Rep. David Dreier, R-Glendora, and endorsing his Democratic opponent, Cynthia Matthews. By criticizing Dreier's positions on immigration, promoting a "Fire Dreier" campaign and making on-air appeals for voters to elect Matthews, the NRCC said, the hosts gave Matthews an unlawful corporate, in-kind contribution of more than $25,000. "This behavior is illegal and must be appropriately punished," the NRCC charged, noting violation of the law carries a penalty of fines...

House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier is waging a furious re-election battle after he was targeted by a Los Angeles radio talk show as a "political human sacrifice" for his record on illegal immigration. In the past month, Mr. Dreier and Republicans have spent an estimated $1 million to blanket his district with fliers and radio ads ... A 24-year House veteran who hasn't faced a formidable foe in two decades, Mr. Dreier appeared to be ignoring the hoopla until he received the results of an internal poll Oct. 6, said his opponents. [snip] Three weeks ago, Mr. Dreier introduced...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Republicans have filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing two Los Angeles radio personalities of "criminal behavior" for attacking a local congressman on-air and endorsing his Democratic opponent. The National Republican Congressional Committee contends that ongoing criticism of Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, by KFI-AM talk show hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou represents an illegal in-kind donation of more than $25,000 to Dreier's challenger. "This behavior is illegal and must be appropriately punished," the committee says, adding that violating the law carries a penalty of fines and jail time. The hosts of the...

After 24 years in Congress, David Dreier is in the fight of his political life, waging a battle for his own identity. The dialogue surrounding his run for re-election to the 26th district seat in Congress has reached a furious pitch, but is also contradictory. Either -- as Dreier says -- he is one of the strongest champions of the fight against illegal immigration, or he is weaker on the issue than almost anyone in Congress, as a vocal group of activists charges. "I've never gone through anything like this -- it's the most blatant mischaracterization of the work I've...

This news is from last week, but seems not to have gotten any notice. Cynthia Matthews, Republican Congressman David Dreier's Democrat opponent in the race for California's 26th Congressional District, has been officially disowned by her own party over the illegal immigrant issue. Matthews has been outspoken opposed to illegal immigration and the corporations who hire them (she wants laws against hiring enforced), and reported on the John and Ken radio talk show that Democrat party officials and other Democrat candidates have officially disassociated the party and themselves from her campaign. The excuse being used, according to Matthews, is that...

POWERFUL Republican Congressman David Dreier — one of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's staunchest allies — appears to be lying low after the L.A. Weekly alleged that Dreier had a gay affair with his chief of staff. Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee, co-chair of Californians for Bush and chairman of Schwarzenegger's transition team, was a no-show at Wednesday's Directors Guild of America awards at the Waldorf-Astoria, where he and Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) were honored for fighting "runaway production." (The lawmakers have proposed tax breaks for TV and movie projects to stop them from going to Canada.) Dreier and...
