"The two faces of Arnold - a Mexican's viewpoint"

Mexican newspaper Reforma published an editorial back on October 3 calling our own Arnold Schwarzenegger a hypocrite for opposing driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

The editorial is basically only of use to see what the elites of Mexico think. Other than that it's basically just a good opportunity to laugh out loud.

Rather than excerpt the editorial, here's the footnote:

The author [of the editorial] omitted the concluding two sentences of this paragraph in Schwarzenegger's speech, an apparent convenience in support of his contention that Schwarzenegger is a hypocrite. For proper context, the following is the paragraph in full: "To my fellow immigrants listening tonight, I want you to know how welcome you are in this party. We Republicans admire your ambition. We encourage your dreams. We believe in your future. One thing I learned about America is that if you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything." (BBC News, September 1, 2004) [emphasis added -- LW]

MexiData received a few letters about the editorial, all of which pointed out that Arnold was a legal and not an illegal immigrant.
