Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-CA, 47) may have just buried herself  in a big hole.  She unleashed a racist attack on her GOP challenger of Vietnamese heritage.  In the Univision broadcast, she told Latinos that the Republicans and Vietnamese ”are trying to take this seat away from us”.  (Dog gone it, after all we’ve done for our community.)

Apparently Rep. Sanchez doesn’t understand that “their” seat doesn’t belong to any particular group. Even the mainstream press picked up the story after her opponent, Van Tran pounced on the issue.

By the way, she’s blaming the fact that she’s fallen a couple of points behind in the polls on President Obama.  Sounds familiar!

On a personal note: Your blogger married into a Vietnamese family and has found them more hard working than any other immigrant group.  In general, they are kinder, more friendly, and appreciate this country more than any native born American ever has.  Many of them risked their lives escaping an oppressive  Communist regime, often on a tiny boat that was robbed by pirates before reaching its destination.

People perished, desperately seeking freedom, yet they fought onward.   Generally, they support immigration, LEGAL immigration.  So in a way, Rep. Sanchez was wrong, they DO support immigration, just not the kind of mass border crossings that she seeks.

Thank goodness the district is home to a large Asian population in Southern California.  Your blogger hopes they all come out and defeat Rep. Sanchez.  As one commenter on You Tube stated, “let her return to Mexico where she can serve in the Mexican government.”

Sanchez is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and was born in the United States.  It is past time that we retired her from Congress.  Your blogger lived in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1990, after graduation from college.  She has no issues with Latinos, in general.
