Calderon Speaks to California’s Lameduck Legislaure.

February 14th, 2008 • Richard Cochrane
 

Wrong Presidente!Mexican President Felipe Calderón spoke today before a joint session of the California legislature. He stressed the need for comprehensive immigration reform that is “legal, safe and organized” – whatever that means. Californians are on the front row of the firing line on the immigration issue with every state and local service is being heavily impacted.

The chamber contained most of the “limping” 42 current legislators that voters made lame ducks last week by dumping their scheme to stay in office by “reforming” term limits. Voter rejection of Proposition 93 set off a “gold rush” of assembly member wannabes lining up for Senate seat; Senators eying everything available, and others queuing for the Assembly. The place looks like a stampede at a worm farm right now but when last week sinks in there won’t a long fingernail left.
