I just saw California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance in San Diego on the evening news.
What a despicable flip-flop to pander to the Latinos by saying he made a "mistake" by voting for Prop 187.
I cannot stand a politician who doesn’t represent the people who elected him. Californians that supported Prop 187 were done a great disservice by former Governor Gray Davis who was instrumental in its downfall.

By Joe Guzzardi comments on Nation’s letter: Schwarzenegger can count on a long, hot summer on the campaign trail unless he changes his tune. According to the governor’s remarks, he views people who want border security as "prejudiced." [ Schwarzenegger Heckled On Immigration, By Allison Hoffman, Boston Globe, July 25, 2006]
And Schwarzenegger, who has been back and forth on illegal immigration at least a half dozen times, feebly tried to dodge the question by calling it "a federal issue."
If Schwarzenegger, a Republican, wants to be re-elected in Democratic California here’s what I recommend he say: "As the governor of the country’s largest state, I promise that if elected in November I will use all my influence with the White House to secure California’s border with Mexico to end illegal immigration."
