Because if he hadn't voted for it he wouldn't even stand a chance this year.

House members are up for re-election every two years. The HR4437 vote was roughly one year before the election. This is not like the senate where they are up for re-election every six years. All time periods for House members are a time where they must vote for something else they may not get re-elected.

I've given you one major vote by Cannon that is against support for amnesty of illegal aliens.

Document any vote by Cannon that is in support of amnesty for illegal aliens since his last election.

I just Watched him on TV saying just that. I don't need to convince you. If you think that one vote cancels out all the other votes.

From Welcome to Wary in Utah
The raging immigration debate has drowned out nuanced positions even in this conservative state, which had made room for illegal newcomers.
By Nicholas Riccardi, Times Staff Writer
April 30, 2006


PROVO, Utah — Four years ago, U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon told the audience at a Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund dinner: "We love immigrants in Utah. We don't make distinctions between legal and illegal."

Two weeks ago, the Utah Republican sent a video to party activists saying that he was tough on illegal immigration and that the nation had to secure its borders.

What a difference a few years make in the contentious world of immigration politics.

A prominent champion of immigrant rights in Washington, Cannon says he hasn't changed his position. Instead, he has repackaged it in reaction to a nationwide backlash against illegal immigration.
