Sickening. This guy should have been thrown out on his ass.
I do not concur - Cannon is a good man who honorably served as one of Clinton's impeachment managers & doesn't deserve all the crap that's been dished out by shortsighted single-issue tunnel vision types.
From Americans for Tax Reform:
"The challenger, Matt Throckmorton, took a hard-line anti-immigration stance in the campaign. Cannon,however, stuck to the policies of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who embraced legal immigration – not only on economic grounds, but moral ones as well.
“America is a nation of immigrants,” continued Norquist. “Her economy is fueled by the imagination, creativity and hard work of immigrants from all corners of the globe who come to America for opportunities they cannot find at home. Representative Cannon boldly stood by America’s immigrant population instead of giving in to the easy-way-out – the hysterical and unkind attacks that often elect politicians but hurt our nation in the long-run.”"
