September 10 - Pet Peeve Monday - UNIVISION Debate
This week’s PET PEEVE is a continuation of my previous PET PEEVES about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
For those of you getting up to speed, I previously discussed ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION on:
March 29, 2006 – my second Blog ever
May 1, 2006 – Boycott the Law Breakers
May 16, 2006 - My Solution to Illegal Immigration
May18, 2007 – Loser of the Week – George Lopez
June 4, 2007 – Mexico City Morons
This past Sunday, we reached a new low.
UNIVISION hosted a Spanish-language Democratic presidential debate on Sunday night.
It was the latest in an unbelievable number of debates leading up to the 2008 elections. The UNIVISION debate may have been historic for its English-to-Spanish-back-to-English-subtitle translation.
Hey, here is a novel idea. How about you MUST speak and read ENGLISH in order to vote. Our founding fathers DID NOT write the CONSTITUTION in any language but ENGLISH. All others, NEED NOT APPLY.
If I go to a restaurant in France and they only have French menus, guess what? I get what I get. I once was served something in Germany, that to this day, I’m not sure what I had.
In the debate the pretenders kept to their pre-defined scripts on Immigration.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) reminded the audience that his father was an immigrant from a small town in Kenya. Obama also compared Cesar Chavez to Martin Luther King.
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.- at right) pointed out that her campaign manager is a Latino.
Former Sen. John Edwards boasted that his hometown in North Carolina "is now half Latino."The winner of the name-dropping contest was probably former Sen. Mike Gravel, who solemnly referenced Armando Soriano, a soldier who was killed in Iraq and whose parents now face deportation.

The WTF moment came when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (the lone Latino candidate, cursed with a Caucasian-sounding name) who speaks fluent Spanish, but was blocked from doing so by debate organizers. UNIVISION said it wanted to be fair to the other candidates.
Hey UNIVISION, how about be fair and encourage your viewers to follow the law. If you are here illegally, you don’t get to stay, and you DO NOT GET TO VOTE, regardless of what the Democrats say.
Sorry, it’s the law, look it up. Maybe UNIVISION can translate that for you as well.
