After All These Years, Reconquistas Still Mad At Pete Wilson

After all these years, [1] Pete Wilson is still the target of open borders anarchists.

On a beautiful California Saturday afternoon in San Diego, assorted La Raza goons and gay activists protested the unveiling of a statue honoring the city’s former mayor, U.S. Senator and California governor. [“[2] Wilson Statue Is Unveiled As Latinos, Gays Protest,” Jeanette Steele, San Diego Union-Tribune, August 26, 2007]

We shouldn’t be surprised. If the reconquistas are still mad about the [3] Mexican-American War more than 150 years ago, then Wilson’s support of [4] Proposition 187 in 1994 denying benefits to illegal aliens is just yesterday to them.

Ask anyone in the immigration reform movement to name [5] their heroes and two are certain to make any list: Tom Tancredo and Wilson.

Too bad Wilson can’t [6] run for California governor again. He’d win in a landslide. Even the jerks with the bullhorns would agree.

[7] Marcellus Armiger, a San Diego reader, was at the ceremony. His letter that we will post tonight, Sunday, provides more details.
