Harkey Questions Timing Of Harman's Illegal Immigration Efforts

This just came over the transom from the Diane Harkey campaign:

DIANE HARKEY CALLS TOM HARMAN A “DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT” ON THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE

Diane Harkey, Republican candidate for the 35th State Senate District, today called Tom Harman “a day late and a dollar short” on his recent announcement to work to curb illegal immigration in California.

“Harman has had 5 ½ years to address this issue in Sacramento,” said Harkey. “Now he decides to introduce legislation, that he doesn’t have the votes to pass, to tackle the problem, on the very last day he is able before the April 11th Special Election.  I know the voters will see through this last minute ‘me too’ campaign tactic.”

Diane Harkey, who was a Co-Chairman of the California Border Police Initiative last year, has been a strong supporter of working with the Federal Government, for additional border security, to stem the flow of illegal aliens into the state.

“How can we believe Harman, who has been sending taxpayer-funded mailings into his district touting his concern about the impact of illegal immigration on our state,” continued Harkey “When he voted in the legislature to give in-state college tuition breaks to the very same illegal immigrants he is now condemning? Where was he on Prop 187?  Where was he on Cal Border Police? The hypocrisy would be laughable if the issue wasn’t so important.”

Republican Diane Harkey is running in the April 11th Special Election for the 35th State Senate District.

The Harkey campaign echoes my comment to today's Roundup:

"Harman's newly found interest in the illegal immigration issue is laughable. It's way too little, way too late. Lucky for him, and kudos to Jen Jacobs, that they were able to get the Daily Pilot to run a story on it. That ought to be good for at least one mailer."

Harmon has zero credibility on illegal immigration and he can't buy it by introducing some last minute legislation that will never see the light of day in the dem controlled legislature. You should have thought of this Tom when you were voting to give tuition benefits away to illegals. In fact I'm surprised ole' one bill Gil hasn't offered up his endorsement of you because of your generosity to illegals, but not legit out of state students who must pay the full tuition for out of state residents. I guess while you're at it, you could try to say you were a bonafide Minuteman as well. Alas though your campaign is quickly fading into the HB sunset.

Well, Jimmy Camp, the punctuation on this one is much, much better. But seriously, lay, off the, extra commas.
