Bush nominee Gonzales soft on immigration

Michelle Malkin notes that Alberto Gonzales, President Bush's nominee for Attorney General, isn't too enthusiastic about enforcing U.S. immigration law, according to transcripts from his confirmation hearing:

Personally, I would worry about a policy that permits someone, a local law enforcement official, to use this authority somehow as a club to harass -- they might be undocumented aliens, but otherwise lawful citizens. That would be troubling. That would be troubling to the president who, as a governor of a -- former governor of a border state understands and appreciates the roles that immigrants and undocumented aliens play in our society.

There are a number of things that I don't like about Alberto Gonzales: 1. He said "undocumented." Twice. 2. He referred to illegal aliens as "lawful citizens." 3. He's a member of La Raza, and earned the endorsement of that pro-illegal-immigration group.
