Santorum: "No amnistía!"..Asshole's webpage now in SPANISH too! [View All]

"No amnistía."

So begins a new Spanish-language passage on Rick Santorum's campaign Web site explaining his opposition to a Senate immigration bill that some Republicans claim includes granting amnesty to those in this country illegally.

"Dando la amnistía ... ridiculiza y degrada los sacrificios de inmigrantes legales."

("Giving amnesty ... mocks and demeans the sacrifices of legal immigrants.")

Until recently, English-language visitors to the Santorum site could read a tough summary of the Republican senator's position on a measure he complained would make it possible for two-thirds of illegal immigrants to gain legal status - some by going home to get a valid work visa, some by paying a fine and partial back taxes. But Spanish readers initially found no such language - no mention of amnesty, no mention of "felons" and "serial lawbreakers," as in the English discourse.

The Santorum camp said that was only because the Spanish version had not been updated, and that a word-for-word translation was soon coming. Now that's happened.
