California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman weighed in on the California immigration debate over the weekend with a new radio ad, according to the L.A. Times.
As our Orange County immigration lawyers reported last month here on our California Immigration Attorney Blog, Republican Candidate Steve Poizner has made opposition to immigration a centerpiece of his campaign.
Whitman responded to a new anti-immigration ad by Poizner with an ad or her own; the 60-second spot features former Gov. Pete Wilson, who says "Meg will be tough as nails on illegal immigration."
The Times noted the ads continue to signal the rebirth of the immigration debate in California. But what is needed is a common-sense compassionate approach to immigrant rights in Los Angeles and throughout California; not a return to the rhetoric of the past.
Recent polls have shown Poizner shrinking Whitman's lead, which could be one reason she is addressing the immigration issue. However, neither will benefit from the increasing power of the Hispanic vote. As our Los Angeles immigration attorneys reported recently, major Latino groups are releasing voting scorecards and pushing the increasingly powerful Hispanic vote to support politicians who will work for justice on behalf of California's immigrant population.
