Michelle Malkin: Profile Hillary's Foreign Campaign Donors? Of Course!

"Asian-American groups don't like the increased public scrutiny that Hillary Clinton's mysterious Chinese dishwasher donors are getting. To which I say, in words that should be universally understood: Boo-freaking-hoo," says Michelle Malkin. "[P]apers uncovered dishwashers, cooks and other suspect Hillary campaign contributors in New York's Chinatown, Flushing, the Bronx and Brooklyn who were limited-income, limited-English-proficient and smellier than stinky tofu. One Asian donor admitted to the Los Angeles Times 'to lacking the legal-resident status required for giving campaign money.' Another, Hsiao Wen Yang, told the New York Post she was reimbursed for her $1,000 donation -- setting off clear alarm bells over yet another possible straw donor scheme on the heels of Norman Hsu-gate."

JUST A SMALL SAMPLE OF WHAT KIND OF ADMINISTRATION THE SHE-DEVIL WILL BRING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHEN SHE IS ELECTED----TRY SOCIALIST POLICE STATE FOR STARTERS.....

I love Michelle Malkin." Boo freakin hoo" and similar statements make me rout the girl on. The Democ-rats have had so many crooked voting schemes, from handing out cigarettes and booze to the homeless, to signing up illegal aliens, to as of late Elliot Spitzers scheme of giving out drivers licenses identical to the ones legal Americans have. Spitzer even set the conditions of how those licenses must look. No identifying remarks may be used on them to distinguish them from the ones citizens have. Conclusion: Aside from the Bush neocons,THE DEMNOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE THE RUIN OF THIS NATION.

What a hoot. Last Friday on NPR they had a special edition that highlighted how WONDERFUL that the dishwashers and cooks were donating 1000's of dollars.

I guess, NRP forgot to leave out the other side.

THERE IS A SILVER LINING

If this open border nut gets elected, her cohort in open border crime, President Bush, had problems with getting anything like amnesty passed.

Thank God for a deadlocked congress with 12% approval ratings!

T. Jamieson, please don't sound so positive. LOL

Of course she (and Obama) voted to pass the DREAM Act today, just as she said she would. But it failed. YAY!

Fred Thompson Unveils New Immigration Proposals; Would End Chain Migration

"Republican Fred Thompson said Tuesday the government should yank federal dollars from cities and states that don't report illegal immigrants. In his first major policy proposal, Thompson challenged presidential rivals Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney by criticizing "sanctuary cities" where city workers are barred from reporting suspected illegal immigrants who enroll their children in school or seek hospital treatment," the Washington Post reported.

Interestingly, the Post coverage ignores Thompson's most substantive proposals: "Reduce the scope of chain migration by giving family preference in the allocation of lawful permanent resident status only to spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens, and no one else (no siblings, no parents, no adult children, etc.)."

It would really make my decade if Fred wins the election. As far as I can see he is the only one with any common sense whatsoever.

A LITTLE LATE

The Democrats are closed mouthed about amnesty issues too and the MSM never asks a Democrat candidate the hard environmental overpopulation questions, re: illegal aliens.

I'm sorry, don't trust any candidate that all of a sudden acts like they support FAIR. Where was Thompson on amnesty a year ago when we needed him?

FAIR and the American people do all the work and he tries to cash in and take the credit.

Pathetic!!!

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 24, 2007 12:22 PM

Don't smooth the way for Hillary or Giuliani to get elected. HARDHEADEDNESS can be almost as bad as TREASON, when you take a position that assures loss to these two really bad candidates.

Fred Thompson is indeed a CFR...I don't like that at all! But the man has committed to OUR AGENDA, almost as absolutely as TOM TANCREDO and DUNCAN HUNTER! I prefer our stalwarts....YES... But FRED has TEN TIMES THE VOTER SUPPORT! This old ,oversized, balding, character actor, and term and a half Senator can articulate our issue. Give him a cautious nod for putting his plan into specifics. Note, that when he talks about a fence, he says an 854 miles WALL, and whatever additional fencing is required. He wants to add 25,000 more border agents, and double ICE.A few weeks ago he raised the issue of the ANCHOR BABY problem and a second look t the meaning of the 14th Amendment. Frankly, he is saying what TANCREDO and HUNTER have been saying in a near vacuum ! We need this shot at saving the country. If Thompson is actually a liar and a shill I'll fight to get him removed even harder than I have against the BOOSH MONSTER! Please don't kill America by being a stickler for voting records etc. and who your political friends are! In a perfect world I'd agree!

Posted by: Allan S. on October 24, 2007 12:38 PM

Before I thought that Romney was the best bet from among the candidates likely to get the nomination. Now it looks like Fred Thompson is better on immigration issues. I will be contributing to his campaign shortly.

Posted by: Hal K on October 24, 2007 02:32 PM

Never trust this CFR puppet. He is only talking tough on this issue because he needs some of his base to move in his direction. even if he was sincere, he is still pulling for the same failed policies of the NeoCons...Big goverment, shreading the Constitution, expanded war, open borders, gun grabbing, NAU, TTC etc. Don't forget, he is an ACTOR! Ron Paul '08!

Posted by: fornax2 on October 24, 2007 03:07 PM

Sen. Thompson is correct to focus on the importance of minimizing chain immigration. As a nation, we must give immigration priority to those individuals who have the education and skills we need to keep the U.S. in a competitive position internationally.

Posted by: Ronald Etters on October 24, 2007 04:16 PM

fornax 2, I agree. CFR candidates for the Presidency, like Thompson, and immigration control, is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.

Posted by: Bobby on October 24, 2007 04:57 PM

Fornax2 and my stalwart friend "Software". Need to face the reality of a HILLARY MISRULE, or a slightly better MISRULE under GIULIANI!

We will be cutting America's throat with a dull knife if we think THOMPSON has got to be rejected. We have NO VIABLE CHOICE. Most people consider the second or third tier candidates to be laughable. Ron Paul is considered like a SCIENTOLOGIST or a UFO booster by most people. Most people suspect his supporters of being the mirror image of the HOWARD STERN craze. Forget Ron Paul, he is just SO WEIRD...to most of us!
Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo are great guys, but
Tom blew his credibility with the unfortunate MECCA BOMBING statement. Get used to it...THOMPSON is the F.A.I.R. supporter's best shot... without him we are DEAD MEN WALKING...in the Presidential arena!

I was hopeing for Gingrich, but am happy with Fred.
THOMPSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Posted by: Robert on October 24, 2007 08:01 PM

If this man truly ever believed ANYTHING that he is now saying about illegal immigration, he would have been saying it long ago. What he says now is what he thinks will get him elected...not what he really, truly believes. Belief works itself out in ACTS and he has no acts in the past or even recently to prove that this belief is real.

What is this sudden stance against illegal immigration? Pure baloney with an old face stamped on it. I continue to stand for Tancredo and Hunter...or even Paul. These so-called "top contenders" of the Republican party are truly pathetic.

Posted by: J on October 24, 2007 08:53 PM

I don't trust him and I will never vote for him. Check out his immigration voting record on numbersusa.com.
Any candidate can admit changing his/her mind, but to lie? NO!

Posted by: DinTN on October 24, 2007 10:48 PM

Didn't Sam Brownback start voting for real immigration reform for a short time during his run for POTUS? Then right after he drops out of the race he votes for the DREAM amnesty.

Didn't Chris Cannon run for congress using strict immigration enforcement rhethoric, then after winning quickly rejoin the open borders neocons?

http://www.vdare.com/guzzardi/cannon.htm


Yes, it is great that the immigration reform rhetoric is getting more serious thanks to a grassroots awakening, but rarely has this type of rhethoric from "pre-selected" politicians been sincere.

Caution is needed here. Frustration and lack of political leadership from the "front-runners" should not steer anyone into the arms of an open border zealot.

Better to send your money to grassroots organizations such as FAIR and NumbersUSA and also contribute to state-based immigration reform groups.

Brownback and Cannon were always open-borders yahoos.

An open-borders yahoo never changes.

Thompson may be sincere. He didn't have a good immigration record in the Senate, but he wasn't an open-borders yahoo.

The only politicians you KNOW can absolutely never be trusted are the devout yahoos, whether it be Brownback, Cannon, McCain, or whoever. By the way, Huckabee is one of those also.

The yahoos cannot change, because they essentially cult members. They would drink cyanide if their cult leader says the word.


I don't have reason to believe Thompson is a cult member. That is not a positive thing if he is a CFR member, but then the question is, is he a yahoo about it, or did he just join because he had some buddies in it or something. If the latter, then he may not be wedded to it like a yahoo would be.

Posted by: lance sjogren on October 25, 2007 01:17 AM

We all understand how some kids will always hate their stepfather. When they give in to this unreasonable hatred, they will reject rescue from a sinking boat, because the rescuer is the hated STEPFATHER.

THOMPSON has made an unequivocal commitment to
the 854 mile wall, massive increase in Border Patrol and ICE, NO AMNESTY, ATTRITION JOB PRESSURE, EMPLOYER SANCTIONS, close control of visas, No DREAM ACT, and to make a legal issue of the application of the 14 Amendment to make ANCHOR BABIES, and in any case, to end to the CHAIN MIGRATION RULES!

What do you want him to suggest? That we send out
death squads like the Muslim factions might? Get real! Ron Paul has no chance! Duncan Hunter might wind up as Thompson's V.P. Don't kill the American Dream for your aversion to your rescuer!
I love both Tancredo and Hunter, but they need the
help of a more popular candidate like Thompson to
make their vision materialize in the White House!

Posted by: Allan S, on October 25, 2007 11:12 AM

I can understand why some people want to jump on the Fred Thompson bandwagon, he is a little different than the top 3 suspects, but I have to say that he is getting support from some who do not know anything about him! All I have heard from him is the same tired one-liners that Guiliani, Romney & McCain use. His words are the same old crap we hear from the dysfunctional GOP. This party needs to re-invent itself or we will see Hillary in the Whitehouse in 08. What issues does Thompson take that is any different than that of Bush? With Thompson, we are sure to have more war, more out of control spending, bigger Government, more cronyism, less Constitutional rights etc. Avoid the Thompson bandwagon!

Posted by: fornax2 on October 25, 2007 12:22 PM

The likes of HILLARY, KENNEDY, and litle DICK DURBAN will be so happy to see that some stalwarts with F.A.I.R. are so blinded by the flip side (right) of political correctness that they would reject a likely winner. because of his voting record back in the Clinton days. Hell, I voted twice for JORGE BOOSH. If he were to develop ALSHEIMER'S and have to leave office I would
now party for three days! People DO CHANGE THIR MINDS. THOMPSON HAS HAD 5 YEARS TO SORT THINGS OUT! I would prefer ten to one that DUNCAN HUNTER were to be elected. I came out for him strongly when he wasn't publically considering a run.
I was the very first to call for him to run for President on these pages. I want him to be V.P. now under the more electable Thompson, but my heart is with BRAVEHEART HUNTER, and GUTSY TOM TANCREDO!Please for God's sake don't fumble the ball over an old beef with Thompson...WE CAN WIN WITH HIM! WE CAN SAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM!

Posted by: Allan S. on October 25, 2007 01:30 PM

A lot of people keep making out that Fred Thompson has a bad record when it comes to immigration and that simply isn't true.

A lot of the bills he voted against contained poison pills that would have made the problem worse not better.

I would like to see Duncan Hunter run as Fred's VP then take over for Fred when his two terms are over.

I still have hope that Tom Tancredo will pick up voters when some of the others like Giuliani and Ron Paul loose favor. I can't believe that the Mecca statement should erase all of the hard battles Tom has fought for our side. If not Tom Tancredo, than Duncan Hunter, before a CFR member that should never be trusted. The Cabal probably has several candidates that are hand picked to answer to the powers that be. If we don't get together and support someone we know is for this country, no doubts, like Tom Tancredo, We will just end up with another GWB, fooled again.
I simpily will not take a chance again. I am an old woman and I have always been forced to try to vote for the lesser of two evils in order to vote for someone who has a chance to win. [supposedly]. This time I will not vote for a member of the cabal of evil, even if I know that the candidate I vote for will lose. What is worse, trying to decide which is the lesser of two evils, knowing that even if you guessed right you still have an evil man in the White House, or knowing that you tried to change that.
Thompson could not beat Clinton anyway. He is too dry and slow, also, there are those like me who will never trust his CFR connections.

THOMSON IS AN OPPURTUNITST, HIS ARAB CAMPAIGN MANAGER LOVES THE ILLEGALS JUST AS BUSH, FOR ME IT IS TANCREDO, HUNTER AND PAUL IN THAT ORDER IF THEY;RE THE VP AT LEAST GOODBYE TO MY VOTE REPUBLCIANS-BUSH BACKERS

Posted by: impeachbush on October 28, 2007 03:40 PM

Suggesting that immigration reformers be more cautious in their support for Thompson is not tantamount to ridiculing someone else's political judgment in a situation marked by uncertainty.

That being said, skepticism is still warranted for Thompson's new tough stance on immigration. Besides his historically weak interest on the issue, his affiliation with the CFR, and his hiring of an open-borders die-hard, Spencer Abraham, to be his campaign manager, there is still the curious situation of his being accepted and promoted by the mainstream press. For example, I noticed several months ago that the neoliberal Newsweek was falling all over itself to give Thompson some favorable publicity. WE KNOW THE MSM IS NOT GOING TO GIVE ITS BLESSINGS TO SOMEONE WHO TRULY OPPOSES THE OPEN BORDER AGENDA.

It is pretty interesting that Thompson is a Law and Order actor and its producer/creator, Dick Wolf, is a close friend and former classmate of "W". Recall the L&O show in which Minuteman volunteers were depicted as cold-blooded illegal alien murders. IMO, this was done to reinforce the ridiculous charge that these law-abiding volunteer groups were "vigilantes". I still hear and read comments from prominent neoliberals using this absurd language.

By now, we all know that the open border agenda is part of the larger plan for implementing a North American Union, the FTAA, regional governments, and a central economic and social planning body that will override democratic government as it is now practiced. HAS THOMPSON EVER ATTEMPTED TO EXPOSE OR DERAIL THIS AGENDA? Thompson can talk about chain migration, but if he doesn't address the NAU elephant in the room we might conclude that Thompson is playing a game of political Texas-hold-em.

When the environment is such that most politicians tend to be less than forthcoming about their true beliefs, it is sometimes necessary to read the tea leaves.

Posted by: Cynthia on October 28, 2007 10:17 PM

1)An open-borders yahoo never changes.
2)He didn't have a good immigration record in the Senate, but he wasn't an open-borders yahoo.
You sound like Hillarita sounded last night. "I support Spitzers plan to give "undocumented workers" (illegal invaders) driver's licenses but it's not a good idea"
Which is it? Fred voted for amnesty over and over, voted to have illegals hired over legal workers....
Open borders yahoos never change, that's why Tom Tancredo STILL has my vote along with Ron Paul hopefully.

"THOMPSON has made an unequivocal commitment...." Yea, I seem to remember our current Señor Bush state the same thing.

Penn. Farmers Demand More Illegal Workers

"Farmers warned senators Tuesday about a shortage of agricultural workers in Pennsylvania and said immigrant workers are crucial for their operations. With illegal immigration drawing more attention, a pair of Senate committees heard two hours of testimony on the farm work force. The hearing was before the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and Labor and Industry Committee. Farmers urged senators to leave immigration issues to the federal government and to push for guest worker programs that would help ensure documented immigrants are available to work," the Public Opinion of Chambersburg reported.

"Baugher acknowledged the legal status of some of the workers is questionable, but blamed the federal government for failing to reconcile discrimination laws with immigration rules. He said farmers are hesitant to turn away immigrant workers who show papers resembling proper documentation because they don't want to be accused of job discrimination. 'We can't hire them, and we can't not hire them,' Baugher said."

If they have machines that can harvest delicate tomatos then we should be able to pretty much haverst anything with machines. We need to force farmers to move to the 21st century way of doing things.

One thing I never understood is why doesn't the government offer some kind of tax break to farmers who hire college students during the summer exspecially if a portion of their wages were set aside for college. Students in turn would pay no taxes no wages received for farm work.

Farmers could setup "cabins" for college students and have forms of entertainment such as DVDs for them in the evenings. You could even allow high school students to do this during the summer months with a requirement that 1/2 of the wages be set aside for future college. I think you would find a lot of students who have no other way of paying for college taking advantage of this.

How about the government even giving some matching funds for ever dollar put into the students funds. This kind of program would end up paying for itself as it would allow students who otherwise couldn't afford to go to school to graduate and make more money which in turn means more taxes collected from their future earnings.

If students change their mind and don't go to college then you take back the matching funds and tax the money earned as normal income.

Am I the only person this makes sense to?

Posted by: Critter on October 24, 2007 02:03 PM

Very good thoughts, Brian. Students use to provide a large part of farm labor. When I grew up, this is where many of us earned our college money. And getting those jobs was hard, very competitive, because the ag jobs paid much better than you could get in town. And I don't remember a single illegal alien in the work force, either. American citizens should always be our first choice, as we really do make the best 'guest workers'! Best for the future of the Country, too.

I wonder if these employers have tried the State Jobs Bank? If they can't find employees at 9.50 an hour, in a free market, they should try 20.00 before they complain to government. And PA. requires welfare recipients to work for their benefits, where are they?

According to the PA. Dept. of Public Welfare, more than 250,000 people are receiving aid. Granted, not all are capable of work, but 25,000 are in job training. According to the same agency, only 50 percent of those required to work for their benefits ever show up for work. There's 12,500 right there that SHOULD be working and another 12,500 who COULD be working.

At the end of 2006, there were more than 300,000 NEW unemployment applications filed in PA. Hmm, think they might find a couple of willing workers in that database?

PA. also has 45,000 prison inmates, over half are classified as non-violent. They earn between 50 cents and a dollar an hour on the inside. How about a new plan for reintegration into society, instead of costly incarceration? Offer them housing, 5.00 an hour, restore their rights, and reduce their sentences in exchange for their labor.

When the agribusiness employers can document they have investigated all of their options, THEN they can complain to their Senators. Until that happens, I will believe these employers are just being lazy, and discriminating against American employees in the process. Shouldn't our politicians or the ACLU be defending the American Worker?


Posted by: Jeebie on October 24, 2007 02:30 PM

It will not help you people in Penn. to gain milllions of illegal laborers. Get your lazy people off of welfare, get college students, and other healthy but utterly lazy people to pick this fruit. And most of all GET REAL. These farmers do not have a "right" under the capatalist system to become rich by demanding illegal labor.

Posted by: Bobby on October 24, 2007 04:51 PM

Booo, to the PA farmers. They should know better. I have always supported farmers and their livlihood, but they aren't above the law and have no right to put the rest of their fellow Americans, at a disadvantage. If farmers know they need X amount of workers each season, why don't they communicate that to the government and have them implement a system to provide workers for a particular season? I don't get it. Common sense should tell people that if 500,000 jobs aren't being filled by Americans, then 500,000 workers should be brought over to fill them, not 12-20 million. This whole situation is ridiculous and I don't care what you do for a living.

My relatives in South Dakota have been dairy farmers for decades and decades and have never hired anyone to help them on the farm. Why don't these farmers just do their own work? I guess working for a living is over-rated there....

Update: DREAM Act Defeated 52-44 - New Podcast

Update: The Senate voted against further debate on the DREAM act this afternoon by a final tally of 52-44, less than the 60 votes needed to end debate.

Listen to FAIR's podcast about the DREAM Act defeat today. (MP3 format) FAIR President Dan Stein and Executive Director Julie Kirchner discuss today's legislative events.

"The proposal was a last-ditch effort at new protections for illegal immigrants this year after the Senate could not reach a compromise on a broader overhaul of the nation's immigration laws this summer. It was included in that unsuccessful attempt at an overhaul, then was defeated last month as an amendment to a defense spending bill," the Washington Post reports.

Another great victory for America, but I wonder how long it will be before they try to pull off a new trick, more slick and less visible. These Washington nutjobs just will not quit. Kudos to Dan Stein for getting the word out!

"Not showing up to vote has the same effect as voting NO. So we appreciated the fact that the following did not vote today. All four voted FOR the June amnesty."

Dodd (D-Conn.)

Trivia question for policy wonks: I'm doing some research on the strategy of the open-border lobby, but just can't remember this. Can anyone help?

After the defeat of Comprehensive Immigration Reform the open-border crowds changed strategy -- at least some of them did. They decided they could get what they wanted by passing stand alone bills instead of the whole enchilada at once.

Can any of you remember some quotes from politicians or other types of think tanks (La Raza, Chamber of Commerce, etc) that made strategy statements to the effect that instead of comprehensive immigration reform, they can get what they want with smaller piecemeal bills?

THREE WORDS:

One World Order…

What better way to an Absolute Control of a Society than to turn them all into Peasants?

Keep the Classes’ afraid of losing their Jobs and they will keep their noses to the grind so much so that He/She doesn’t have the time to participate appropriately in the Current Affairs of their Nation.

While the American is busy working longer hours with stagnant wages, less vacation and less benefits, the “Elected” move forward with laying the groundwork for the New World Order.

Please google or search for the news on this because quite frankly, I can’t explain it as I don’t understand the reasoning for it other than just Pure Greed. Please look at the Tri-Lateral Commission as well…

How to create a Peasant Society:

1. Slowly take Rights away from the People in order to “Protect” them from “Danger”.

2. Import massive amounts of People from Third World Countries with No Assimilation Required, Flooding Markets like the Job Market thus creating a Low Level War pitting the Americans against the “New Immigrants”.

3. Keep wages stagnant/low while raising the price of everything from Food to College.

4. Supplementing the Incomes of Immigrants (Legal & Illegal) while allocating little Funding for Infrastructure and no Tax Breaks for the Middle Class thus turning them into the “Poor”.

5. Create Deficits unknown in American History and begin to sell off American Interests.

I heard Durbin's complaint to the effect that we're "taking it out on kids who didn't have any choice in coming to the US". Well...a kid in Ohio didn't choice to have his parents live there, and therefore be ineligible for instate-tuition rates in Indiana.

No kid on the planet has a choice in where his parents decided to give birth to him - from Jesus Christ on down. What are these politicians thinking?

Posted by: kerthialfad on October 25, 2007 11:31 AM

Maybe now they will get the message and big picture and put an end to this shamnesty, once and for all. Good going everyone and congratulations to FAIR for helping to defeat this measure.

Posted by: Born American on October 25, 2007 12:58 PM

Thanks to FAIR for the informative alerts on the Dream Act amnesty.

The special interests are relenteless in their quest for more amnesties, but the American people are waking up and are more and more aware.

Now let's see if Reid attaches the huge AgJOBS amnesty to the Farm Bill. There have been many sob stories and "crops rotting in the field" stories in the MSM media lately.

Our answer is the same: NO AMNESTY, SECURE THE BORDER and ENFORCE the LAWS!

NO AgJOBS Amnesty !!

Smugglers Push Illegal Aliens to Cross California Fire Zone

"The Harris fire along the U.S.-Mexico border is affecting various aspects of immigration in San Diego County, in particular the busy human-smuggling routes surrounding Tecate and Campo. Six illegal border crossers are hospitalized with burn injuries, and one of them is in critical condition, said Alberto Lozano, a spokesman for the Mexican Consulate in San Diego. He said the six men, all from central and southern Mexico, were rescued Monday by firefighters north of the shuttered Tecate port of entry and transported to UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest," the Union Tribune reports.

The LA Times has a map of the Harris fire area

"Lozano said U.S. officials have asked the Mexican government to disseminate information to Mexican nationals not to cross in the fire zone, regardless of what smugglers tell them. 'We believe they are trying to convince them that even though there is a huge fire in front of them, that it is possible to cross without harm, which is impossible,' Lozano said. 'They will meet their death there.'"

THESE ARE THE HARD WORKING AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE AMERICA NEEDS?

The coyotes smuggling illegals laugh their heads off as they collect their fees and send the aliens to the California fire gas chambers.

Yet another reason why human smuggling should be a crime punishable w/ the death penalty or life in prison!

[FAIR edit]. Have this happen a few times and just watch their stinking attitude change towards the people of this nation. Free Ramos and Compaeon, patriotic U.S. prisoners of the Democ-rats and neo con Bush administration.

Well that just gave me a great solution to illegal immigration at the southern border.

Instead of a fence, why not dig a huge long pit (far away from 'civilization' of course) and set it on fire. Instead of wasting good U.S. land by turning more and more of it into dumps and landfills, just truck all of America's garbage to the pit to be burned.
Would be more environmentally friendly by not burning in our towns and cities, but rather out in the middle of nowhere : )
(Of course I'm HALF joking)

Immigration the Top Issue in Virginia

"After years of simmering in the background, illegal immigration has quickly emerged as one of the key issues in Virginia's Nov. 6 election, particularly in Northern Virginia, where voters say they are seeking candidates who will address it, according to a new Washington Post poll. Three-quarters of likely voters in Virginia said immigration is important to their votes in the election for state and local offices, while just a year ago, immigration ranked seventh of 10 listed issues in a Post poll before the U.S. Senate race. Since then, the percentage of Virginia voters calling immigration "extremely" or "very" important to their vote has jumped 15 points," the Washington Post reports. "A majority of Virginians, 53 percent, said they want state and local governments to do "a lot" to deal with illegal immigration; an additional third said they want "some" action."

THE POLLS BY WASHINGTON POST ARE WEASLE WORDED TO SUPPORT OPEN BORDER NUTS

You can easliy get that 53% up to at least 83% by asking the poll question in a common sense way as follows:

"Do you want more immigration overpopulation added to Virginia's communities, roads and schools?"

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 24, 2007 12:14 PM

really this is the case so why are there two senators supporters of amnesty?

Posted by: impeachbush on October 24, 2007 07:42 PM

It is great when our voices are heard. Thank you Senator Cornyn!

Posted by: J. Moreno on October 24, 2007 08:02 PM

We need to purge the Congress of Democrats and Republicans who vote for any form of amnesty.

Posted by: Rev. Clark on October 24, 2007 10:01 PM

It should be the #1 issue in all states.

I firmly believe that the issue that will make or break the candidate this election will be the immigration issue.

Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 24, 2007 10:04 PM

In that same issue of the WaPo, there was a story in the Metro section noting that in DC the EMPLOYMENT level of African-Americans was the lowest in 20 years and that the median income for African-Americans had DECLINED since 1980. Needless to say that DC is awash in illegal aliens just as parts of VA are.

Doesn't the WaPo make a connection here?

Posted by: D Flinchum on October 25, 2007 08:59 AM

Clearly our Senators are not listening to the residents of Northern Virginia. At least not the legal, tax paying ones.

Loudoun, Prince William, Stafford and even Fairfax are all getting on the same page about illegal aliens so who is it that our elected Senators, and Congressmen are listening to?

Vote them out .. bring in the NEW
