I was surprised when I heard that Santa Ana Councilman Carlos Bustamante actually voted to support the Dream Act. I did not expect that at all. Bustamante is a Republican and the Dream Act is kryptonite to most Republicans.
Bustamante also supported Card Check earlier this year, which is absolutely hated by the Republicans. It would allow unions to expand more readily into new workplaces.
So what is up with Bustamante? Is he turning blue?
I suspect that Bustamante realizes that the GOP has given up on him. And he cannot win as a Republican locally if he aspires to higher office.
With Obama in the White House and the Democrats in full control of the U.S. Congress and the California State Legislature the writing is on the wall. Bustamante’s only hope is to become a Democrat.
He is no friend to the working poor or to Latinos in general, but neither is Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido nor Garden Grove City Councilman Bruce Broadwater. Yet they each have full support from the DPOC. Bustamante will too and he knows it.
I expect Bustamante to go blue this year.
Red or Blue Carlos is a gentleman.
#1,
Really? Wasn’t he forced to resign from two state commissions after making his infamous “waterbra” remarks when Sandra Hutchens was appointed Sheriff?
#1,
Bull. I’ve seen him in action. He’s a turd.
Contribute to him, he might give you the time of day. Otherwise, you’re a low life.
#2 The “waterbra” remarks are baseless causations made by a person who even you do not trust.
No, i think he is turning yellow for some reason poltical correctness has turned people stupid in this nation!
and really Art, how can you support anything that allow’s a kid to go to college based on the fact they are not citizens while families have to bust their asses off to send their citizen kids to college. My kids are little and i put away $50 amonth for them.
I think the dream act is more like an act of racial, and cultural preference, supported by people who are not morally or ethically responsible.
And really again why should the people of the US pay for foregin children to go to college. It really makes no sense!
Is it not then, that you Art should be responsible for my college education. If the answer is yes, then you owe me money.
I suspect, that the American People are only responisble for paying for the education of kids who are here illegally from Mexcio.
Really Art, shame on you!
Michelle,
The Dream Act provides LOANS not handouts. I think we have covered this several times already.
#6 Carlos love children, his support for the dream act shows how caring, and loving gentleman he is.
loans to illegas that dont belong here . why should citizens have to pay for illegas . the dream act should be called the freebie act
Too bad they did not have a Dream Act for Irish immigrants. If they had maybe we wouldn’t have to be subjected to Michelle’s atrocious spelling.
And the loans are made through the tax’s paid by the American people, who have not the money to pay for their children to go to college. I have taken responisibility for my chidrens college so that that do not need to seek loans, from anyone.
Ahhh Art, if i had the money of soros, i would send all poor kids to college if i could! but, we can not expect working class families to pay for it!
#8 “dream act/freebie act” who cares?
I recall Carlos’ gentle handling of a Libertarian, whose name escaped me, during the 2008 Santa Candidate Debate. This outrage Libertarian was rudely screaming Library, Library I want books for my Mexican children.
I recall Carlos gently and softly stated: paraphrasing, “Dude Mexican children do not know how to read”!
It was so charming, loving and brilliant of him, to show that Mexican kids need to dream more than read.
It was then when Carlos single handily coined the term “dream act” and therefore won against the outrage Libertarian.
Maybe if Santa Ana’s student’s were not subjected to such poor teaching, or teachers such as your self. then, the schools would not have API scores in the 1-2 range.
Just because you change your post name, does not hide your writing style. My faviorte union girl:P
And i am trying to improve my spelling, i don’t need to rob people to do that!
To all the good teachers in Santa Ana, which is obviously a minority, NO OFFENCE!
LOL! Yellow is more like it!
Yeah, pass the $$ around when the state is bankrupt. THATS THE LIBERTARIAN THING TO DO!
What hypocrisy showered on people from a culture where even LEGAL IMMIGRANTS cant hold office. An immigrant hating xenophobic society that still practices different strata of people, thats Mexico. You watch Univision? You think thats the face of Mexico??
And if someone wants to even try to compare THIS GREAT COUNTRY to Mexico, please show me the illegal immigrants rushing TO that country. They have nothing to say about how we save California.
By the way WTF,
I thought the dream act, was for all immgirants.
O so your saying “Irish immigrans need not apply”!
O my god, its like taking candy from a babies mouth.
Freedom, is this the left, i am fighting, if it is, then its not much of a fight! all book and no brains:)
And i dont mean you Art and Doc, LOL you know it!
and red and jill, Mr. Mill…
Where was Pulido & Sarmiento?…hmmm
Joe,
Pulido was on vacation with his family and Vince is at Harvard attending the JFK School of Government.
Carlos still has a little RED in him.
He would only vote for the AB-540 if it was clear that.
Students do not have a prior conviction or pending criminal matter
So i think Busty it turning
PURPLE >>>?
What ever color he is turning he’s still a
Womanizer & Slum land Owner
If you don’t believe me drive to Broadway & Santa Clara he owns the two apartments near HARVEY
Renters live with rat’s mole and poor living quality
“Vince is at Harvard attending the JFK School of Government.”
Oh boy! Another empty title he can put on a resume.
go dream in ur own country
#17,
It will be interesting if Bustamante quits the GOP and then runs for Solorio’s Assembly seat as a Democrat.
Senora Quinn –
You fail to explore and/or examine why illegal immigration is tolerated in the U.S. And after reading your posts, I don’t think you much care why it’s tolerated, but here’s the drill:
People enter the country illegally, promptly procure bogus Soc Security cards from the black market, and use them to get jobs. Eventually they get paid, and those earnings generate W-2s that go to the Social Security Admin, which tucks them away in something called “earnings suspense file.” According to the best estimates of the SocSecurity Admin,the fun as kept track over the last 20 years of more than $300 BILLION in total earnings – the vast majority of them attributable to illegal immigrants.
$300 BILLION DOLLARS! That’s pretty impresive in acountry where no one ill admit to actually hiring illegal immigrants in the first place.
But those are just figures in a ledger. The hard currency is the Social Security taxes that illegal immigrants and their employers pay on those earnings. That rings in about $7 BILLION a year. Which is why you don’t hear the Soc Security Admin raising a fuss over illegal immigration. Do you think this could explain why you don’t see many pieces of legislation calling for mass deportation of illegal immigrants? I mean, why kill the golden goose?
So, who is doing the exploitation? Try and think this one through Senora Quinn.
Sean,
Thanks for update…a coincidence or? At least Bustamante voted for it.
Senora Anonymous, or Misses/Mr
I seam to have heard that the US is the American people and i seam to have heard that they will not tolerate illegal immigration, because it is “WRONG”, to allow people to walk in while other’s are waiting on a waiting list!
SO what your saying is the American government is lying to its people by having a IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT??? REALLY!
And yes if you have read any of my post’s about the Orange Country Supervisors,Department of education, CTA,Caloptima,Healthy families, non-profits. I do know who is being exploited and lied too! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Cheer’s
Carlos still has a little RED in him.
He would only vote for the AB-540 if it was clear that.
Students do not have a prior conviction or pending criminal matter
I think the red, is the red flag!
So not only do you want, illegal immigrants getting preference to loans over Citizes, you want illegal immigrants who are criminals getting preference.
Man, this country is in serious trouble! No wonder the Mexican Government made illegal immigration a felony:)
This site is priceless!
Quinn –
Your misuse of the word seem is annoying. It might be a good idea to invest in a dictionary.
This picture of this councilman looks different.
Did he get rhinoplasty?
#17 is he really a womanizer?
LOL Latin Lover–good for him – that “splains” it!
