Republican congressional candidate Van Tran has been quite sneaky this year about his views on immigration. But he finally came clean during an interview with the O.C. Register that was published today. He “aid he supports Arizona’s right to attempt to crack down on illegal immigration.”
Tran flew to the border a few years ago with a host of his Trannies, to make fun of Mexico and the border situation. I was deeply offended considering that he and most of them are also immigrants, but unlike Mexicans these haters got a red carpet welcome to the United States, after the fall of Vietnam.
No Latinos showed up to Tran’s grand opening on Labor Day
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, who Tran is challenging also was interviewed. Here is what she had to say about immigration:

Too bad that they welcome the bashing of their own kind – immigrants! – but I guess that Is the only way to feel welcome to this country. It is example of a “I got mine” attitude.
Well, let’s not assume all Viets are gonna feel that way, OK? I know plenty that don’t.
I’m currently looking for / expecting any day now, proof that Tran and the OCGOP are behind Ceci, whether it started that way or not. It only stands to reason, and would be in character with dirty tricks they’ve played before.
But even if it turns out to not be provable or even untrue, all Latinos and Democrats and moderate independents in the district need to realize a vote for Ceci is a vote for Van Tran. That’s just the physics of it.
And look at Tran. Now we can officially say he IS anti-Latino. No wonder Barbara Coe was dearly hoping for both him and Allan Mansoor to show up to her potluck last week.
No sean tontos, hermanos, Ceci = Tran! Vote Loretta!
I can’t help but notice that Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona was caught in another LIE today. She has retracted her BULLSHIT story about beheadings on the border.
This is more FEAR and the the MEXICAN is going to take my job politics from the FAR RIGHT wing GOP.
Where are the Red County and LOC folks on this??? It seems only Art and Vern are calling people out?
The “John and Ken” imigrant bashing is so 1994! Let’s have a DISSCUSSION about where we buy our food, and how it gets there……
I try and make it a rule not to argue with Art because he is so crazy but just for the casual reader, Van Tran is very supportive of the Latino community. All you have to do is a Google search and you can see he had a Latino outreach event in Santa Ana in Spanish last Sat., is endorsed by Hispanic 100, Congressman Devin Nunez, Santa Ana Councilman Carlos Bustamonte, wrote President Bush against a move to raise fees for new citizens and is an immigrant himself.
Van Tran has welcomed new citizens at Santa Ana College and fought for lower fees on legal citizenship. He was just quoted in the OC Register saying that we need to find a humane approach to immigration reform so folks can be brought out of the shadows and live without fear of mistreatment and discrimination.
He also wants to focus on securing the border, establishing real enforcement against unlawful employment by employers and establishing a 24/7 computerized real time verification capability so no business can claim ignorance. Note that neither of the above requires direct action against people who are here illegally.
Van Tran also applaud Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for signing Assembly Bill 2060 by Assemblyman Hector De La Torre on September 27, 2006, which providedd financial assistance to legal immigrants seeking citizenship.
As an immigrant to this great state, Tran celebrated our government’s commitment to legal immigrants. The Governor was again showing his commitment to making our state greater, by providing more access to citizenship for our legal immigrants.
AB 2060 provided funding to the Naturalization Services Program (NSP), which provides grants to entities seeking to provide naturalization services to immigrants. The NSP partners with local community-based organizations to assist legal permanent residents in obtaining citizenship in the United States .
This bill also provided greater coordination of services and naturalization of legal immigrants to California. Legal paths to citizenship for legal immigrants are an important step in continuing to make California great.
AB 2060 is celebrating and assisting all of those folks who follow the law and go through the process the right way. It is anticipated that at least 8,200 legal permanent residents achieved citizenship during the first year of the Naturalization Services Program.
Most of this is ceremonial. But even if some of it’s true, and he also support’s Arizona’s 1070 which makes second class citizens of Latinos there, then it looks like he’s a politician who likes to have it both ways, whichever the wind seems to be blowing. Meg Whitman anyone?
Vern,
Well said. Tran is adept at empty tokenism. His support for the racist Arizona SB 1070 speaks volumes.
He does remind me of Meg Whitman, who talks about supporting us then signs Pete Wilson as her campaign chair. No se puede Meg!
Van Tran is Pro-Latino: Read OCR candidate survey and his state website,
With all due respect, I was indeed crazy but I recovered when I quit the GOP.
This list of BS you have presented is nothing more than tokenism. Tran’s support for the racist Arizona SB 1070 tells us what he really stands for.
illegal immigrants give a little TAKE A LOT. We cannot afford them, period. Let the USA people decide who comes in and then it is sink or swim, no welfare to your newborns, no food stamps, etc. Illegals are costing us a bundle and we cannot do it anymore. Same for Iraqi refugees and their insane handouts, or social security for old immigrants who never paid in . This is insane.
And you’re supporting Van Tran, right, Dead White Male? That says something.
I get all of the My Gal/My Guy is best rah rah of campaigning but I have a question for both sides in this race. If Van Tran won (and I understand it is not likely), what changes would the average resident living in the district see? Thank you.
What if,
Good question. Tran would immediately use the office to advance his host of Trannies. The fun part would be the war that would escalate between him and Janet Nguyen. The best we can hope for is mutually assured destruction…
Mexicans can visit the USA, Mexicans can move to the USA, Mexicans can become USA citizens. (And others from South and Central America)
The USA is not anti-Mexican.
BUT, there is a dark side, there is a slave-drug-prostitution trade going on, run by criminals.
The USA is fighting these criminals and the state of Arizona has stepped it up a notch.
The criminals are hiding amongst ordinary people, using them as human shields just like the terrorists.
Liberal eggheads are blinded by sound bits and propaganda put out by the beneficiaries of the criminal enterprises.
Illegal Immigration IS modern day Slavery. And it incorporates the illegal drug trade and child prostitution under the same banner.
There is already a system in place to handle all of the honest human beings, the only ones that will not qualify are the criminals hiding behind the human shields.
The Congress Woman does not support criminal behavior as you imply.
The 47th is going to have a real election just like the one in 1998. And it does not look good for incumbents at all.
Oh yeah, definitely supporting Van. That says something you say? It says I support the sovereignty of the USA, the laws of the USA, and protecting taxpayer monies from illegals. Nuff sed.
I was at the doctors today when a hispanic lady walked in. We starting talking about pre-school and she ask if my daughter was in pre-school. She then stated to me that she had to wait until her child turned 3 before starting. To make a long story short she then stated to me that it was free. I thought well that is nice the rest of us who are not latino mostly from Mexico pay for our childcare and YOU for some reason get it free (Well we do know the reason). As she left and jumped into her SUV, all I could think was I need to do something about this crap. I have mums who work the night shift because they cannot get free childcare!
I hope Van Tran looks into all the welfare, free pre-schools and crap you get when you are not an American Citizen!
I notice you’re not here arguing with Dean Chemerinsky. Too bad….
Believe me I would give my left &^% to there!
