John Faso, not Eliot Spitzer, for governor of New York

I know absolutely zero about Republican John Faso except that he's running against Eliot Spitzer for governor of New York. As the last link shows, Spitzer - despite being Attorney General of that state - doesn't appear to understand our laws when it comes to immigration matters. And, he's just picked up an endorsement from El Diario/La Prensa to drive that point home:

...Immigration. We need a Governor who will recognize the vital role of immigrants –with and without documents-- to the New York economy and society, and who will find a way to help them legalize their status and come in from the shadows... We are at our best when we work together to help our all communities – large and small, longstanding and newly arrived -- prosper and grow. We cast our vote for Eliot Spitzer on the Working Families Party line in expectation of a return of fairness and equity to Albany...

I don't "want them in the shadows." I want them in Mexico, where they belong.

Yep, our yop law enforcement official here endorses illegal aliens. They've flourished in the city since he's been in charge.

Another thing about this guy is that he has actually had the nerve to destroy Indian treaties that have been around for hundreds of years in order to tax them on their reservations. Now I don't know if you've ever been to a reservation, in upstate New York, but it is almost 100% poverty with people living in trailers.

I respect him for his crackdown on corrupt execs in businesses, but I don't think any of those were the ones employing illegal aliens.

Spitzer's going to win though even though I'll be voting against him. Just too many Dem voters in the city that outweighs the rest of the state -- which is red and mostly hard working family farms and the like.
