CA-50: Busby shows depth on immigration issue

Picclip090606busbybilbraymatthews Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-California) is still leading Democratic challenger Francine Busby by 11-points in the battle for the U.S. House seat in the 50th congressional district.  But after watching the two outline their immigration stances on today's edition of MSNBC's show Hardball with Chris Matthews, you have to ask yourself why Busby is not out in front?

As Busby said, just saying that you are for enforcement does not go that extra step to address the full socioeconomic affect that illegal immigration has on San Diego:

Like I said, I can't believe that Bilbray is beating her when he has very little knowledge about the number one issue on the minds of San Diego residents.

Unfortunately, the DNCC back in Washington has partly abandoned Francine Busby because they want to spent even more money on defending incumbent Democrats in races are already projected to stay blue.  We need the netroots to get involved in this race and help Busby carry a seat that she only lost by 4-points in last year's special election.  Do what you can to help.
