Pete Stark's Opponent Strikes Back

The Republican candidate opposing Rep. Pete Stark in the CA-13 race this fall has released a statement in response to Stark's mockery of one of the Minutemen asking him about border security.  You will remember that Stark insisted that "our borders are quite secure."  See the video of the exchange here.

Baker responded today:

"To declare that our southern border is secure when $100 billion worth of drugs enters our country from Mexico every year and a civil war is spilling over into the United States … In any such moment there are underlying stupidities that must simply be stopped,” Baker said.   “American civilians are being killed and Congress has not sent troops to the border?” Baker asks.

“The Pete Starks running our government don't seem to understand the concept of sovereignty,” he said. “But it is not because they are old and confused. We are being sold to those who would harm us ... on purpose, and for cash.”

Baker pointed out that Stark has been in Congress for 37 years and has never been seriously challenged.  "That will change this year," he said.
