Lt. Governor Bustamante has gotten into some trouble because he has accepted some $3 million from Indian tribes. His spokesmen are saying that this is no big deal since Bustamante has alwasy been in favor of Indian self-determination. Ken Masugi nails the problem down in a few excellent paragraphs.

Masugi explains why both illegal immigrants and native Americans are in a state of lawlessness with regard to the United States and its laws. Read it. 
What’s up with this? Proctor and Gamble can buy a politician but an Indian can’t? The Mexicans stole California from the Indians, The Indians are just trying to buy it back. When you want to deal Mexicans you go to the highest ranking Mexican, that being Bustamante of course.
