Gray Davis, the former governor of California, yesterday encouraged Taiwan to embrace its immigrant history and also foster strong research centers.

"America, like Taiwan, has benefited greatly from immigration," said Davis, citing the diversity of California as a special strength of the state.

Without the hard work of immigrants, Davis said, California could not have become, taken alone, the fifth-largest economy in the world.

" used to hard work, they're not afraid of adversity and they're not asking for special treatment. They just want a chance to work hard, and create a better life for themselves and for their families," he said.

Davis made the remarks during a speech at National Taiwan University called California's Diversity and its Impact on Education.

Hey, here's our legally elected Governor! The one before the Ken Lay, Enron, Ah-no, Bush Crime Family... CONSPIRACY and the Britney Spears voters of CA sealed it.
