Good for Rodney!!! He used to be my Congressman. I still haven’t heard from Scott Garrett and where he stands on this issue. Though knowing Mr. Garrett’s voting record, I’m sure his position is the same.
I'm on his e-mail list. Trust me, he's very against this...
Dear Friends:
Last week, the White House and several key U.S. Senators announced a compromise proposal in the debate on illegal immigration. While we don't know all the details of the proposal yet, what we do know about it makes it a non-starter to my mind. First, it fails to ensure operational control of our borders, compromising nothing but our safety. And, all the while it grants amnesty to millions who broke the law to cut in line in front of immigrants who spent many years and dollars to be part of the American dream legally.
I hear from constituents nearly every day who are legal residents or naturalized citizens who bought into American notions of rule of law, equality, and justice. They're the first to sense the extraordinary unfairness of amnesty and they'll be the first to experience that unfairness as well.
This proposal will first be considered in the Senate and then in the House of Representatives. Rest assured that I will be working hard to see that it is defeated.
Sincerely,
Scott Garrett
