Isn't that something?
From Raw Story:
The California Republican Party is coming under criticism for its decision to hire political operatives who are not American citizens for two top jobs.
In March, the state party hired an Australian, Michael Kamburowski, to be its chief operating officer. He now lives in America on a so-called green card, but he was ordered deported in 2001.
That order was eventually lifted, though he is now suing the Department of Homeland Security for $41 million over an episode in 2004 where he was jailed for 30 days by immigration authorities, according to court records.
Recently, the party gave the position of research and political technology director to a Canadian, Christopher Matthews. Mr. Matthews is presently in America on a special work visa for Mexican and Canadian nationals, but California GOP officials applied for and received a coveted "H1B" visa for him, a party spokesman said. The H1B program is the subject of intense lobbying by the technology industry, which has urged Congress to increase the annual allotment of 65,000 visas for skilled workers.
Last night, one of the men abruptly resigned. "The California Republican Party Operations Committee held a teleconference tonight with Mike Kamburowski where he offered his resignation, which has been accepted," the state party chairman, Ronald Nehring, said in a terse statement e-mailed to The New York Sun. "We thank him for his service."

SPB are you saw that Arnie is not an illegal alien was the marriage to Maria legal. He doesn't speak English and always says he's learning. I know I live in California but your better at investigation then me. Please look into this matter before Arnie tries to run for the Senate. It would be embarrassing to have to recall Arnie because his green card didn't come in yet.
Embarrasing indeed.
