Foreign Nationals Hired For 2 Calif. GOP Posts

LOS ANGELES --
The California Republican Party is having a tough time with immigrants
-- but not because of the usual debates over Mexican border crossers.
For the nation's largest state GOP, the troubles hit closer to home.
First the party was forced to admit it had hired a Canadian citizen
with no political experience to be its new political director, under
the H-1B visa program -- a program that grants temporary visas.
Now revelations have surfaced that the party's chief operating
officer, an Australian citizen, was ordered deported in 2001, spent
one month in jail and then filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging
wrongful arrest.
The officer resigned on Sunday.
