I miss your threats and demeaning language, how are you?
It seems you believe voters shouldn’t ask for transparency from elected officials. Fortunately, as a registered Independent, I think for myself.
Why shouldn’t a voter be able to ask for transparency from a Congressman?
Why are you upset that I’m asking for it?
As a journalist, are you not allowed to ask questions of your political party? You admitted you have no proof that Mr. Carbajal emigrated legally in 1970—you simply said his story “seemed kosher.” Is that a journalistic standard?
I’ve asked Mr. Carbajal’s office multiple times for answers, and they have outright refused to respond. Instead of being forthcoming, they’re essentially taking the Fifth.
If Mr. Carbajal denies my questions, he has a duty under the law to prove they are false. That’s the law. Yet, it seems some people don’t like the laws—especially immigration laws.
Illegal labor takes jobs from Americans and costs California taxpayers $25 billion per year to support those who break immigration laws. That’s a real burden. Meanwhile, Americans are homeless, living below the poverty line, and children are starving. Do you think that $25 billion being spent on those here illegally could be used to address food insecurity instead?
As a U.S. Congressman who is supposed to represent American citizens, Mr. Carbajal has supported policies that protect undocumented immigrants, including pathways to citizenship. If he himself came here illegally, it would explain why he advocates for illegal immigration and supports spending $25 billion in taxpayer money on those breaking U.S. laws—while American citizens live on the streets.
And yet, as a voter, I’m apparently not allowed to ask these questions. What kind of democracy is that?
Or is that the Nazi Germans you are defending, no questions allowed.
Dude, this is pathetic. Your original post was a statement, not a question.
Here's a question: can you provide documentation that you yourself are a legal resident in the US and that you have never committed a heinous crime?
Until we see otherwise, by your standards, it's safe to assume that you are a criminal responsible for reprehensible acts that shall not be named here. Too many to count, even. Why would you do such things and then try to cover them up? Please provide us proof that this is not the case! We're waiting.
Btw, if you deny these questions, there is a "duty under the law to prove they are false". Case closed, lol!
What a local disgrace equating people who you disagree with as “Nazis.” Even going as far as to insert a cheap B movie clip portraying Nazis is a stretch, even for you Roberts.
Of course your questions are dated Feb. 24 and you accused Carbajal of "illegal" immigration on Feb. 6 - next time, better to ask your questions before publishing. Questions are good; publishing statements as facts that are not facts -- even though we might really, really, really think or wish they were -- not good.
This is the third time you've objected to my use of "kosher" (in a private email not addressed to you) are you hunting Jews now too?

Haha Brian - your comment is longer than my piece.

Thus far there has no evidence presented supporting otherwise. Just “kosher” stmts.
Is that the new level of facts from journalism its true “because i said so”
Here are my questions Mr Carbajal took the fifth on stating he refused to answer.
