Summary (posts follow):
Allan Hoffenblum is a GOP consultant and publisher of the California Target Book. Hoffenblum is a frequent quote source for the mainstream media - particularly the Los Angeles Times - when they do stories involving the California GOP and immigration. Allen Hoffenblum can always be counted on to enable illegal immigration such as by misleading about the impact of Proposition 187.
