UPDATE - A Blog in San Ysidro has picked up the story - venting anger over being sold out by the GOP again. Moderates like Meg Whitman alienate the base - Meg, like Arnold seems to be running the same "Join Us or Clear Off" campaign that Arnold did in 2003. The blog links the same story in signon San Diego - but the anger is real. You have to look at this and ask if Meg is really the middle-of-the-road unifier she wants us to believe she is.

Conflicted.

This is the best way to describe Meg Whitman on border issues.

Despite Congressman Ed Royce trying to convince us otherwise... Meg Whitman favors amnesty.

Royce wrote on op-ed entitled, Border Security, A Key Reason Why I Have Endorsed Meg Whitman.

In the Op-Ed Royce details his agreements with Whitman on Border Secruity and immigration policy. One key quote is here,

"As I do, Whitman believes there must be accountability in the system and employers must have access to a vigorous and reliable system for verifying their workers’ eligibility."

Sign on San Diego posted an article replete with Comments from Whitman that suggest an answer to what Whitman thinks Accountability really is. (The article is here in its' entirety)

The candidate, 53, said the solution is to find a mechanism that allows them to live here legally. “Can we get a fair program where people stand at the back of the line, they pay a fine, they do some things that would ultimately allow a path to legalization?” she asked.

Ladies and gentlemen - that's called Amnesty.

Later she is quoted as saying she'd have voted no on 187 - which would have denied benefits and services to Illegal Aliens. It was overturned by a liberal court with lackluster defense from the AG's office.

On Sanctuary Cities, only Ed Royce offers a solution - not Meg Whitman.

Again, who is in control of the message of her campaign? This issue demonstrates again why Whitman refuses to debate and why she is not ready for prime-time.

English not his native tongue?

Amnesty is a pardon, typically by government, for a large group of individuals.

A pardon is total absolution for the pardoned sins...with absolutely no strings attached.

Going to the back of the line...paying fines...other required steps to legalization under the Bush immigration bill that appear to be aligned with Whitman's thinking on this subject?  Those are strings.  Whitman's position is far, far away from "amnesty".

Quit abusing the English language.  If you want it to be the official language of the land maybe you had better improve your own skills first.

Anon Whitman Staffers

Don't warrant a response.

To the first guy - Bush's bill was amnesty and was basically pay a few grand after committing a felony. It is like defrauding the government for a massive tax bills and settling for pennies on the dollar.

But, you knew this - hence the added insults... June is a long ways away, I am sure Meg has plenty more for us to blog on

You are too funny Yorkie....

You continue to call me a Whitman staffer. That is hilarious. I just think you are funny. I am not a Whitman person. And not going to vote for her either. My beef is with your style of politics. Can't wait for you to get the last word in....
