Because the public wants them. The electorate votes for candidates who support entitlements.

The endless Jewish smear of "antisemite" is now spreading against the Latino community: BUSTAMANTE BUSTED: ANTI-SEMITIC TIES?, By LESLEY MIA ROBINS, Jewish Observer, September 1-7, 2003 "Comprising 2.9% of California voters, Jews up and down the State of California are actively doing their research into who will make the best candidate to possibly replace current Gov. Gray Davis. With 134 candidates qualified to run for California's governorship and purported anti-Semitic ties emerging against the gubernatorial recall front-runner and only Democrat candidate, Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, how will the Jewish community vote? Bustamante’s alleged past ties to a purported Latino anti-Semitic group seem to be coming back to haunt him. What’s more, his apparent failure to disassociate himself with Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, MEChA, has been the focus lately of news coverage spanning television, radio and the Internet and is causing concern in the Jewish community. Of note, MEChA's affiliated online newspaper, La Voz de Aztlan, (The Voice of Aztlan) recently published an article, "Bustamante pressured to repudiate MEChA," which suggests that Bustamante yet has ties with the group. Recently, the Jewish Observer received an e-mail from a concerned Jewish reader who alleged that Aztlan publishes "highly anti-[Semitic] literature of Bustamante's group 'MECHA' - a movement devoted to annexing California to Mexico." The Jewish Observer responded by telephoning Bustamante’s office for a comment. However, all attempts to contact Bustamante and clear up the allegations, or at least to comment on them, went unanswered ... One need only to view the group's website www.aztlan.net to understand the cause for concern amongst area Jewry. Some articles on its website, such as "McDonald's becomes latest victim of the 'Kosher Nostra Scam'," "The Israelization of the USA and its Dangers to Mexico," and "Israel and the U.S.: A Unique Relationship" are some examples of the types of stories published by La Voz de Aztlan. What’s more, La Voz de Aztlan has posted on its website a petition drive to stop U.S. military aid to Israel, a petition for an investigation committee on "Ariel Sharon’s Crimes against Humanity," and a petition to end Kosher certification labels."
