Anti-Schwarzenegger, anti-Minuteman screed noted

Domenico Maceri, an Italian immigrant and teacher of foreign languages at Allan Hancock College in Ventura County, offers us the charming guest editorial "Arnold plays politics with immigration". It hews to Template #3: "Arnold is attacking defenseless undocumented immigrants and stirring up hatred to become popular again." From the screed:

The prejudice against undocumented immigrants is strong among Americans, and Schwarzenegger is using this bigotry to show that he is a true conservative -- even more conservative than Bush, who disapproves of the Minuteman Project...

When the president of the United States and the Border Patrol say that the Minutemen may not have the legal right to patrol the border, you would think that a governor would pay heed...

Congratulations, Domenico Maceri! You're the 1000th commentator to note that Arnold is pro-MMP while Bush is anti-MMP. Come over here and collect your winnings. Yes, that's right, it's a little thing called "analysis." As in, why would Bush be anti-MMP? Could it have anything to do with Bush and the GOP getting contributions from those companies that profit off illegal immigration? Could the BP leadership being anti-MMP have anything to do with their boss's stated stance on illegal immigrants?
