Carl DeMaio is saying what Republican are saying—Pete Wilson was right in 1994 with Prop. 187. Thanks to the Democrats, though the people of California wanted to control illegal aliens in California, we are now paying between $24-30 billion a year on illegal aliens in California. Our hospitals overcrowded, our schools are teaching in two languages, welfare cost are skyrocketing. If we took Wilson advice, California would not e a Third World State.
The California Republican party, with the support of Assemblyman Devon Mathis, tried to stop the GOP opposition to illegal aliens. At the 2015 convention Jessica Patterson worked to water down our opposition to illegal aliens.
DeMaio is right, the Establishment GOP in California is afraid of telling the truth.
“Nonetheless, DeMaio said he believes his position on controlling the border will resonate well with Latino voters.
“I believe that Latinos are with us on immigration and Democrats have been bamboozled by the liberal media,” he told the national website Politico.
DeMaio is running in the 75th Assembly District, which is currently represented by Marie Waldron, who is termed out.
This is why the Establishment is so afraid of DeMaio—he is willing to tell the truth—loud and clear. I do not always agree with him—but at least he is willing to be open and honest about his positions. Glad we have one candidate for Assembly that will speak for all Republicans in the State. We have others—but none with the voice and recognition that he has.
New Carl DeMaio TV Ad Claims Gov. Pete Wilson Was Right to Blast Immigration in 1994 Campaign

Carl DeMaio is reviving former California Gov. Pete Wilson’s anti-immigration rhetoric in his bid for a state Assembly seat in East County.
DeMaio, a former San Diego City Councilmember who ran unsuccessfully for Congress, released a television ad Monday that includes portions of one of Wilson’s own ads from 1994.
“Gov. Peter Wilson was right,” DeMaio said in a tweet introducing the spot.
“CA Democrats and liberal media blame Gov. Wilson and his strong position against illegal immigration for Republicans losing seats since 1994. I disagree…”
Wilson backed Proposition 187, which would have denied many services to undocumented immigrants, and won reelection as Governor. The proposition was later ruled unconstitutional.
Political observers credit Wilson’s rhetoric and the proposition with tipping the state toward the Democratic Party, which now boasts supermajorities in both the Assembly and state Senate and holds all executive offices.
Nonetheless, DeMaio said he believes his position on controlling the border will resonate well with Latino voters.
“I believe that Latinos are with us on immigration and Democrats have been bamboozled by the liberal media,” he told the national website Politico.
DeMaio is running in the 75th Assembly District, which is currently represented by Marie Waldron, who is termed out.
