Ads Expose Chris Cannon's Support for Illegal Alien Amnesties

Campaign Highlights Inconsistencies Between Record and Rhetoric

WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Team America PAC has launched a radio campaign in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the campaign is to make Republican Primary voters aware of Representative Chris Cannon's support for illegal alien amnesties and other benefits for illegal aliens even though he represents his record as having been tough on illegal immigration.

On his website, Congressman Cannon claims he's never supported amnesty for illegal aliens and never will. In fact, Cannon has not only supported nine amnesties for illegal aliens, he's actually co-sponsored six amnesties himself. Cannon claims to be tough on illegal immigration yet he's co-sponsored two bills that would reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition. He's voted multiple times against aiding police officers in the apprehension of illegal aliens. Cannon is currently co-sponsoring a bill that protects illegal aliens from prosecution for social security fraud.

Team America' Chairman, Bay Buchanan commented, "Chris Cannon is one of the most pro amnesty congressman in Washington. It is certainly understandable why he would choose to hide his atrocious record on amnesty from his constituents but that in no way justifies the hypocrisy associated with doing so. Utah voters have a right to know if their congressman is deliberately deceiving them, especially on an issue as critical to the nation as illegal immigration."

Team America PAC launched the ad campaign earlier this week in the Salt Lake City market. The radio spots use humor to expose Cannon's claim of being tough on immigration. Throughout the spot the announcer repeatedly asks, "Chris Cannon tough on immigration?" followed by the announcer's description of Chris Cannon's support for an immigration bill that's completely out of synch with most American's views. Over the top crowd laughter then ensues. The radio spot concludes by asking GOP Primary voters to support Cannon's Primary opponent John Jacob "to begin cleaning up the immigration mess Chris Cannon helped make."

I'm sure none of the above are 'lying' on this matter of unimportant trivia about Cher's and Lou's personal life or what Cher thinks about issues. I don't care. I just find it hilarious that an E! show is being used as a source. On an immigration thread no less... Weird, just weird!

Defending the indefensible is tiring.

I ain't going to argue with you about that, given your experience with alan keyes.

Whatever may be his human faults, defending the breakdown of American security and sovereignty ain't one of them.

What's your excuse?

Actually C-Span was the ultimate source, but what the hey and like I said before if you have a problem with C-Span, take it up with Brian Lamb.

More than you know. But in any case, win or lose, my candidates have always been conservatives.

Again, what's your excuse?

There once was a poster named Dane
On immigration threads he loved to rain
He thought Bush was a god
And that he was god's rod
Til his obsession drove poor Dane insane

Seems like a simplie investor visa.

If you have money to invest, you can enter the USA with the condition that you are brining X number of dollars OR generate that much commercial business value. (about 300,000 these days)

This reminds me of the late Rep. Claud Pepper who accused his oppents sister of being a practicing heterosexual.

The thread's about the House poster boy for open borders, Chris Cannon.

Please, try to concentrate.

Chris Cannon is the author of the Student Adjustment Act, which would not only give illegals amnesty, it would also make them eligible for in-state college tuition and it would let them pay that discounted tuition with federal grants." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1634182/posts

This link offers no support for your claim that the Student Adjustment Act gives illegals amnesty

A bill this bad ... and Rep Cannon is for most of its worst provisions: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115803,00.html "Cannon’s bill, the Agricultural Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits, and Security Act of 2003 (AgJOBS,” H.R. 3142 (search), would make all foreign nationals who were illegally in the United States between February 2002 and January 2003 (which Cannon estimates is 11 million people), and who had also worked for 100 days in agriculture, immune from prosecution for the crime of entering the U.S. without a current visa, and then give them work permits. "

It's my contention that Cannon's record on illegal immigration was poor prior to the last Republican primary challenge by Throckmorton in 2004. Since that primary challenge, it is my contention that Cannon's voting record on illegal immigration has changed and that he seems to be supporting enforcement first and HR4437 without amnesty.

It's based on this that I support Cannon.
