O.C. Register reporter Dena Bunis published an article this weekend slamming the O.C. Dream Team – immigrant children who grew up here, graduated from public schools and now want a path to citizenship and college. Here are a few excerpts from Bunis’ diatribe:
But one has to wonder about their tactics. A group of them sat in the middle of the Hart Senate Office Building on Tuesday. Others parked themselves in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. John McCain’s offices. And still others are staging a hunger strike in front of Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Westwood office.
Some say what these young people are doing is in the great American tradition of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement.
There’s a difference. Those who marched in Selma and went to jail for equal rights had the U.S. Constitution on their side.
No one is suggesting that these young people have a legal right to be here.
These kids are heroes. I wouldn’t expect Bunis to get it. I wonder if she got these talking points from Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez’ office?
These kids are fools, and to top it off they’re protesting in offices of people who would pass amnesty in a minute (and yes, that includes McCain). Kind of like preaching to the choir. A wasted trip.
No, the Register got its talking points from the Liberal OC!
Gustavo,
Good point! How very sad…
“No, the Register got its talking points from the Liberal OC!”……. Hmmmm
And from whom you are getting your talking points, Gustavo?
Gustavo,
Why wouldn’t they? Dan Chmielewski, Chris Prevatt and the blog mascot Claudio “Chim Chim” Gallegos are the smartest guys around. Just ask them.
Don’t forget young Steve Perez, who seems to have taken it on himself to school all of us – from Art, Tavo and me to the Dream Team kids – exactly what is and isn’t appropriate or useful when trying to influence a politician.
GREAT JOB BY THE WRITER OF THIS . now deport them

Why not?
He has proven to be an effective leader. He has the experience and know how to deal with the dysfunction of Sacramento.
The simple fact that you use a term to describe him coined by a Chicacoan, who later said that he was the “most forward thinking leader of his time” says a lot.
Ask anyone who went to the funerals of the five dead Oakland cops two years ago who they support, 90% will tell you BROWN.
Meg Whitman took a thriving (albeit hopeless) business public, made a few Billion and then ran it into the ground. She Fouled up the Skype deal, Spent a billion too much on Paypal and totally RUINED the coproations chances in China. She later admitted “I did’nt understand how they did business there”.
What’s up Great One, are you so blind that you’ll elect another Arnold before even considering Brown? You sound like one simple minded fool.
You’ll vote for someone you don’t like who as you say stinks to keep the other guy out.
