    "California's anti-illegal immigration law, Penal Code Section 834b, strangely enough, is similar to Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law, SB 1070 (although California's Section 834b doesn't apply until after a lawful arrest, while Arizona's SB 1070 applies upon a "lawful contact" with law enforcement). Section 834b says every California law enforcement agency SHALL ("shall" implies a mandatory duty), if it suspects the arrested person is in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws"

  • Mr. Tam wrote a letter to Asian-Americans encouraging them to vote in favor of Prop. 8. It said voting for gay marriage was akin to legalizing prostitution and could eventually lead to legalizing underage sex.

      This letter suggests that liberalizing the definition of marriage would or could eventually lead to further liberalizing of the definition of marriage and in no way does it demonstrate an animosity towards gay people as a group. I would have been more likely to suggest that it would lead to the state being required to recognize marriage between 2 or even more people after all, if the argument is that marriage is about love and intimacy who is to say that a marriage between 3 people should be denied that right?
