Republican Tony Dolz, a Cuban immigrant and one of the founding members of the Minutemen is running for state assembly in the 41st district. Fran Pavley is termed out and his opponent is Democrat Julia Brownley. Gerrymandering has almost guaranteed Brownley will win, but even if it hadn’t, this comment from Dolz should wrap it up. Speaking about illegal immigrants….

“I will be up late at night dreaming of ways to make their lives miserable so that they can go home to whatever country they came from in the same way they came here: on their own, at their own expense.”

I have had the opportunity to hear Mr. Dolz speak and this statement is not inconsistent with the speech I heard. While I grant we have a problem with illegal immigrants, I would like to think Americans are better than this.
