Political
Pushback for Soft-on-Immigration Republicans
By
James R. Edwards Jr.,
January 12, 2010
There are new indications that supporting
mass amnesty and liberal immigration levels may carry political costs.
Two prominent Republican lawmakers who've pushed amnesty now face
political heat for those actions. U.S. Senators John McCain and Lindsey
Graham have become targets for their open-borders stances.
Arizona Sen. McCain faces challenges in his
re-election bid, specifically over immigration policy differences.
Judging by his state's strong support for
Proposition 200 in 2004, McCain marches out of step with the vast
majority of his constituents. Immigration-control Republicans are now
mounting
bids to unseat McCain in his Senate primary race.
South Carolina Sen. Graham has received
censures from three big county Republican committees. The
Charleston, Greenville, and Lexington County GOP organizations have
voted formal measures aimed at Graham, rebuking him for his pro-amnesty
activity, as well as his collaboration on other issues.

one TX representative has done so and that is Pete Olson (R-22)

Bi-partisan No-Amnesty bill has been
introduced by Representatives Chaffetz R-UT and Kratovil (D-CA) also
Hunter (R-CA), and Nye (D-VA).
The two-page Chaffetz
Resolution is remarkably simple and its message is clear. It states
that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that:
(1) E-Verify should be mandatory, and
that worksite enforcement policies should hold both employers and
illegal employees responsible for violations of immigration law;
(2) Installing and sustaining border
security infrastructure and manpower is a critical responsibility of the
federal government; and
(3) Any immigration reform legislation
Congress adopts should not grant amnesty to, or confer legal status
upon, illegal aliens in the United States.

THANKS ALIPAC!
TEXAS: Lawsuit - Two groups in Texas have
filed a lawsuit to stop the state of Texas from continuing to offer
in-state tuition and other taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens. Texans
make up ALIPAC's second largest support base along side Californians.
We have interviewed leaders from these
groups and they need donations to help with their lawsuit. If they win
this lawsuit in Texas, they will create a precedent, we can quickly
deploy in the remaining states that offer taxpayer benefits to illegals.
If you are willing to consider a donation to
help the brave souls in Texas who are conducting this lawsuit, please
visit them on the web at this link. . . .
