Last night, C-SPAN aired the October 29th debate between two candidates for Congress in Florida’s 13th district, <A

debate included telephone calls from the public.

In a funny moment in the debate, Carmella, a woman with a pronounced Spanish accent, asked about the candidates’ views on amnesty for illegal aliens. Schneider said she supported amnesty for illegals who had been in the U.S. a while and urged more be done on “multicultural issues” like language.

Carmella asked the moderator’s permission to ask another question, which was granted. Carmella then asked Schneider if she really supported amnesty. Schneider said that she certainly did. At which point Carmella announced that she was not impressed because her family “went about this [immigration] in a legal manner.”
