Silicon Valley: Many Running Out of Unemployment Benefits and Hope

On Sunday, 60 Minutes presented a report about how bad the recession is for people who are unemployed. The show went to San Jose, which was the center of the booming Silicon Valley just a decade ago. Now shiny new buildings stand empty, and college-educated people have run out money after losing their jobs in [...]

Neigh! to Jane Harman

Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies (particularly the dance number), so I enjoyed the campaign ad from Jane Harman’s challenger: Young Mattie Fein (vs Jane Harman).

Jerry Brown Plans to Spend More on Alien Education if Elected

Democrat candidate Jerry Brown has been revealing his enthusiasm for illegal alien students in his quest for the governorship of California.

One measure was his declaration of support during the October 3 debate with Republican Meg Whitman.

Rep. Brian Bilbray Fears a Lame Duck Amnesty

The Chair of the Immigration Reform Caucus recently chatted with a KUSI reporter near the border at the ocean, where Brian Bilbray once lived as a kid in a less dangerous time.

He voiced concern that the Democrats would use the post-election session of Congress to jam through a despised lawbreaker-rewarding path to eventual citizenship.

In addition, [...]

Meg Orders Chinese

California governor candidate Meg Whitman was a regular Speedy Gonzalez getting her Spanish-language ads on the airwaves immediately after her primary campaign (in which she pledged she would be “tough as nails” on illegal immigration — but later in Spanish, not so much).

Now Whitman has expanded her language tribalism to broadcast ads for Chinese — [...]

Carly's Hispander Tour Continues, with Tequila Shots

California’s Senate candidate outsourcing millionaire Carly Fiorina, has expanded her Mexican outreach, by getting diverse with the help of a festive beverage. Joining fellow rich Republican Meg Whitman, the two made a splashy appearance at a hispanic awards celebration.

California Carly Ramps Up Hispandering

I was going to steel myself and vote for Carly Fiorina, despite her despicable history of outsourcing thousands of jobs from H-P to Asia, in hopes of getting rid of Senator Boxer with her lifetime immigration voting grade of D+.

(Many in Silicon Valley and beyond remember Fiorina’s 2004 remark: “There is no job that is [...]

Illegal Alien Che Fanboy “Scrambles” for Cash While Attending UC Berkeley

Boo hoo, a poor illegal alien student at UC Berkeley has to spend his time scrounging money and mooching chow at the local food bank.

It’s another sob story from the ultra-lib San Francisco Chronicle, that has never met a freeloader illegal alien it didn’t like. It ignores the fact that any university slot taken by [...]

Santa Clara County Votes to Welcome Criminal Aliens

Santa Clara County is the home of San Jose and Silicon Valley, so there is a fair amount of California immo-insanity present. Even so, the idea that the Board of Supervisors would unanimously vote to opt out of DHS’ Secure Communities program is pretty stunning. That means police will now be disallowed from checking arrestees’ [...]

Potential Child Killer DREAM Act Will Be Back

The stealth amnesty known as the DREAM Act has been defeated for the time being, but its proponents are frustrated and angry after Obama’s failure to deliver a sweeping illegal alien pardon as promised.

As we have observed, the energizer bunnies of immigration anarchy never sleep, and Senator Durbin has already announced his intention to reintroduce [...]

Riot Neighborhood Sensitively Explored

In the Westlake area of Los Angeles, the local hispanics rioted for a couple days recently after an illegal alien was shot and killed by a police officer when the Guatemalan lunged at the cops with a knife. For more background, see my earlier blog: Los Angeles Officials Coddle Rioting Foreigners.

Naturally, a journalistic followup seemed [...]

Los Angeles Officials Coddle Rioting Foreigners

In Los Angeles, the shooting of a drunk Guatemalan national with assorted IDs who was threatening people with a knife has resulted in two days of rioting. The drunk was shot dead after he lunged at a cop with the knife.

I’ve been listening to the John and Ken show for updates; one report was the [...]
