And we've been over that Human Events article numerous times. It's a selectively edited hit piece. Nothing more.

Read this:
Taking a leadership roll on the issues of illegal immigration, securing our borders and national security, Sen. George Allen, R-Va., made several trips to radio row in order to broadcast his message across the country. He stressed the importance of securing our borders for national security and of stopping illegal immigration, which is draining state coffers.

Allen also said he was one of the few Senators to meet with the Minutemen project organizers and that he "supported" them and understood them.
FreeRepublic, May 2, 2005

Read this:
On immigration, Mr. Allen, whose mother emigrated from France, is clear. His take is more like that of a House Republican than a senator. "I don't want to argue anybody's particular bill," he says. "First thing we need to do, and should have done, is [secure] our borders. We needed fences, whether virtual or physical, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground sensors, detention centers. . . . If that's all that can be done, do that now. Don't allow a lack of a consensus [on guest workers or other immigration issues] to prevent what needs to be done."

Mr. Allen is not sympathetic to allowing illegal immigrants living in the U.S. to "earn" citizenship without returning to their home country. If they want to work legally, "I think they have to go back . . . and apply to come in here as a temporary worker. If they want to become a citizen, go through the process of becoming a citizen." Anything short of that, he says, "rewards illegal behavior."
Wall Street Journal, April 22, 2006

Read this:
Unprompted, he continued that he and Bush "agree on most issues, some we disagree on." Immigration, Allen offered again unprompted, was one of the latter.
The Hotline, April 20, 2006

Read this:
2008 presidential hopeful George Allen urged his Senate colleagues on Sunday to "put the pedal to the metal" on immigration reform and "first and foremost, secure the borders."

"[For] the people out there in the real world . . . this is a hot issue," Sen. Allen told CBS's "Face the Nation." "I think the Senate needs to put the pedal to the metal, get moving, make decisions and first and foremost, secure the borders."

On some of the amnesty bills currently before Congress, Allen said: "We should not reward illegal behavior because all you'll get is more illegal behavior."

You just want that piece to go away, I'm sure.

It's simply an interview of George Allen speaking candidly. Why you would attempt to discredit it is obvious.

So tell me, what is George Allen's position on sanctions for employers who hire illegals?

Do you know the answer?
