In related news, Moreno announced her displeasure with yesterday’s U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee vote, which essentially approved an amnesty guest worker program. “This was one of the worst votes in American history,” said Moreno, who added that, “This vote rewards lawbreakers and sends the wrong message to those who continue to break our laws.”

Moreno also decried the protests that took place in Santa Ana and Los Angeles yesterday. She commented that, “Those students who left their campuses and chose to rampage through Santa Ana should be investigated and suspended. If they took part in attacking bystanders or police officers they should be expelled from their schools and prosecuted for assault.”
