Well, we can add traitor to that description. Posted on 05/30/2007 8:55:46 PM PDT by bocopar
The International Relations Center describes Linda Chavez as “George W. Bush's first choice for labor secretary, Linda Chavez is a right-wing pundit, anti-union demagogue, and foreign policy hawk. She has supported or worked for a string of rightist outfits, including the Manhattan Institute, the Independent Women's Forum, and the Center for Equal Opportunity.”
Well, we can add traitor to that description.
On May 25, Linda Chavez wrote a piece called, “Latino Fear and Loathing.” Chavez also wrote a book called, “An Unlikely Conservative: The Transformation of an Ex-Liberal." From the words in her latest column, she may be reverting back, and is thus spitting on all who supported her before.
“Some people just don't like Mexicans — or anyone else from south of the border. They think Latinos are freeloaders and welfare cheats who are too lazy to learn English. They think Latinos have too many babies, and that Latino kids will dumb down our schools. They think Latinos are dirty, diseased, indolent and more prone to criminal behavior. They think Latinos are just too different from us ever to become real Americans.”

And, that relates to ILLEGAL immigration in what way?
Go sell your race baiting jingoistic crap somewhere else Mrs Chavez we're all stocked up here.
Sounds like she’s been listening to Bush too much.
“Go sell your race baiting jingoistic crap somewhere else Mrs Chavez we’re all stocked up here”
I just want to know when Bush hires the President of La Raza as Atty General........ : )
Didn’t she have to withdraw herself from a cabinet position for having been found employing illegals?
Now why would we think that?
Chavez withdrew as the Bush nominee for Commerce Secretary for having an illegal living in her house.
Well, Ms. Chavez, employer of illegals, that characterization applies to about .01% of those who disagree with the amnesty plan. The other 99.99% just think it's wrong to reward illegal behavior and leave the borders wide open.
He already has
Linda is a smart woman, but she’s looking at this thru a Latino’s eyes. If China were on our southern border, she’d be onboard with the opponents.
This bimbo must think Cesar Chavez was an anti-Mexican racist. Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers of America, was opposed to illegal immigration. Mr. Chavez knew that illegal immigration drove down wages of legal workers especially among the lowest paid in our society. A disproportionate number of our lowest paid citizens and legal resident aliens are black and Hispanic. These people are hurt first and worst by illegal immigration.
As the liberal, and generally pro-criminal, columnist, Ruben Navarrette Jr., admitted in a column in the Arizona Republic: “Cesar Chavez, a labor leader intent on protecting union membership, was as effective a surrogate for the INS as ever existed. Indeed, Chavez and the United Farm Workers he headed routinely reported, to the INS, for deportation, suspected illegal immigrant workers who served as strike breakers or refused to unionize.”
In 1969 Mr. Chavez even led a march from the Coachella and Imperial Valleys to the Mexican border to protest the INS’ less than stringent enforcement of immigration laws. If opposition to illegal immigration makes one a racist, Mr. Chavez must have been a racist.
It’s also instructive to note that many of the criminal employers, who are backing the pro-criminal politicians, used illegal aliens as scabs to break Mr. Chavez’s strikes. In 1979 Mr. Chavez testified before Congress; “... when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike. And, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking. I do not remember one single instance in 30 years where the Immigration service has removed strikebreakers. ... The employers use professional smugglers to recruit and transport human contraband across the Mexican border for the specific act of strikebreaking...” Of course, the pro-criminal axis never mentions this. Mr. Chavez must be rolling in his grave. Were he here today, he’d be fighting the pro-criminal axis and fighting against the Bush-Kennedy-McCain amnesty bill.
The pro-criminal axis pushing the Bush-Kennedy-McCain amnesty can’t defend selling out the American people and legal residents so they have to resort to name calling and phony claims of racism.
The pro-criminal axis wants us to believe the mostly black construction workers working to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina who were fired because “the Mexicans had arrived” are racists because they don’t like being replaced by scofflaws who will work for less money.
The Washington Times reported the story on April 10, 2006: “An Alabama employment agency that sent 70 laborers and construction workers to job sites in that state in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina says the men were sent home after just two weeks on the job by employers who told them “the Mexicans had arrived” and were willing to work for less.
Linda Swope, who operates Complete Employment Services Inc. in Mobile, Ala., told The Washington Times last week that the workers — whom she described as U.S. citizens, residents of Alabama and predominantly black — had been “urgently requested” by contractors hired to rebuild and clear devastated areas of the state, but were told to leave three job sites when the foreign workers showed up.
“After Katrina, our company had 70 workers on the job the first day, but the companies decided they didn’t need them anymore because the Mexicans had arrived,” Mrs. Swope said. “I assure you it is not true that Americans don’t want to work.
“We had been told that 270 jobs might be available, and we could have filled every one of them with men from this area, most of whom lost their jobs because of the hurricane,” she said. “When we told the guys they would not be needed, they actually cried ... and we cried with them. This is a shame.”
These American workers who lost everything in the hurricane got no help from the government when the criminal contractors replaced them with scofflaw illegal aliens. In fact the government kicked them while they were down. The Washington Times reported: “Would-be employers in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, awash in cleanup and reconstruction jobs, faced little in the way of legal problems in hiring the illegal aliens after Katrina because the Department of Homeland Security temporarily suspended the sanctioning of employers who hired workers unable to document their citizenship.
Mr. Bush also had suspended the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires local contractors to pay “prevailing” wages, in the areas hit by Katrina to encourage reconstruction and cleanup.”
The government that is supposed to protect Americans spit on Americans devastated by Katrina by telling criminal employers they faced no penalty for violating immigration laws or for replacing American workers with illegal aliens. If you object or speak out against that sort of crap, the pro-criminal axis will call you racist.
Sarcasm was on.
“The government that is supposed to protect Americans spit on Americans devastated by Katrina by telling criminal employers they faced no penalty for violating immigration laws or for replacing American workers with illegal aliens.

EXACTLY!!
” No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind”
Grand Bargain!!
Similar to what happened with Fruity Giuliani's toady number one to be nominated to head up the Department of Homeland Security - Bernard Kerik (employed illegals). Fruity Giuliani toady number two (Michael Chertoff) got the job - that guy is busy calling all conservatives racists who think anything short of lynching illegals is amnesty. These unqualified incompetents seem to be attracted like flies to ****.
Neither are as bad as Fruity's Russell Harding fiasco. The college dropout who Fruity hand picked to head up the NYC Housing Development Corporation (he was the son of the head of the New York Liberal party - instrumental in getting Fruity elected) went on to embezzle $250,000 in crap expenses, and to top it off, used city time and resources to build his child pornography collection. He got put away for 5 years on child porn charges. That Fruity guy - solid judgment!
Sadly, I do not think all of the incompetent worthless boobs from that leg of the Republican party (the snooty upper crust faux conservative neocon frauds) have been tapped out.
“We had been told that 270 jobs might be available, and we could have filled every one of them with men from this area, most of whom lost their jobs because of the hurricane,” she said. “When we told the guys they would not be needed, they actually cried ... and we cried with them. This is a shame.”
That is sickening. As I have mentioned before, many of my classmates' fathers worked at the meat packing plants back in the 70's and 80's. They lived decent (albeit not extravagant) lifestyles; and they were more than willing to carpool 45 miles to the nearest plant.
Those jobs are gone...given to $8/hr Mexicans, and the small towns where these folks lived in nice, well-kept, houses are now literally slums...in the middle of rural Iowa.
There certainly wouldn’t be any other reason to oppose the immigration reform bill now, would there Ms. Chavez?
Those jobs used to provide a stepping stone for the poor to move into the middle class. Criminal employers used illegals to drive wages down to the point where these jobs now subsistance jobs.
Still, as we saw after the raids a few months ago, legal residents and citizens lined up to get the jobs when the illegals were caught.
The same thing happened in the construction trades. Criminal employers used illegals to drive down wages of jobs that used to provide a middle class income.
YES
You speak the truth...
