The first California Republican to announce his interest in running for governor is already running into serious intra-party resistance over his anti-illegal immigration stances.
The influential Lincoln Club of Orange County has released a statement opposing GOP Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a former leader in the anti-illegal immigration group known as the Minutemen, who announced last week he would form an exploratory committee to run in 2014.

IMO, this is a welcome development. It is an early attempt to put aside angry, divisive, and unrealistic approaches that can only narrow the base of the GOP and undermine American conservatism. Instead, candidates should offer serious and constructive policy approaches.

A California lawmaker who was detained and charged with bringing a loaded firearm to an airport earlier this year pleaded no contest Monday to misdemeanor gun charges.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a self-described tea party Republican from San Bernardino, was placed on probation for three years and fined $2,215 for an incident at Ontario International Airport in which security screeners discovered a loaded .45-caliber Colt Mark IV pistol and an ammunition magazine with an additional five rounds in his carry-on luggage.
The lawmaker has characterized the incident as an "honest mistake," saying he had forgotten to remove the gun from his briefcase after placing it there while working in his home garage.
So they want to keep a true conservative off the ballot?

LOL....It cracks me up when libertarians get mad Republicans don't adopt their agenda. Like rushing off to join the 0.009 crowd is going to put Republicans over the top in CA.
Securing our border to prevent terrorists, criminals, smugglers and the like from entering the country undetected is now "unrealistic"?

Jerry Brown will win re-election in a landslide, since California now leads the nation in job growth and the budget deficit is being reduced after the 8 years of disastrous GOP rule in that state.
California will not return to failed GOP policies.
And you don't give that power to just ANYONE, especially someone who wears his racism on his sleeve. Again, Kudos to the GOP for rejecting him.

Realistic immigration reform would consist of a number of elements:
1. A degree of forgiveness for the undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. that transforms them into taxpayers and legal guest workers.
2. An expedited guest worker process.
3. Improved border control to keep out actual criminals perhaps utilizing tools such as "e-verify".
4. Incentives to encourage top-flight foreign students, particularly in fields with shortages of American workers, to remain in the U.S. with an expedited permanent residency and naturalization process.
5. Possibly an agreement with Mexico to encourage bilateral cooperation on border control (such an agreement would likely require points #1 and #2 as it would need to be mutually advantageous to both the U.S. and Mexico).
That's one sketch of a possible realistic approach to immigration policy. Other ideas exist.
With Obama just re-elected by the immigrants, who have demonstrated not the slightest concern for the welfare of the United States...
Tim Donnelly gets fine, probation after plea on gun charges

I guess he also forgot to remove the rounds from his carry on luggage...after he placed them there.
