Wishul thinking: the “good ole boys” which I am sure I have more association with than Ms. Saunders don’t care about this, they care that the GOP has abandoned its princples such as immigration, spending, and morality!!
This is the most important point about this article/scandal. There he is, just like DC.---Norquist running California politics. I keep asking the same question so many others do....WHY isn't this guy in jail?
This from the Calif. Majority report today:
Now that the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials believe the California Republican Party may have broken federal immigration laws by hiring an immigrant without verifying his legal residency, it's time for Congress take a look at this matter -- as well as how the CRP managed to get a limited HB1 visa for an incoming political director from Canada.
The Chronicle is reporting that CRP Chairman and Grover Norquist sidekick Ron Nehring admits that he never saw a green card for Michael Kumburowski, an Aussie who was hired to run the state party's operations. Nehring also said he was unaware if anyone at the CRP had checked.
The newspaper quotes a Homeland Security spokesperson as saying "it is the responsibility of the employers to check and see that someone is legally in the country and eligible to work."
So given that -- and that there is no way in hell the Bush Administration will probe this matter -- it's time for Congress to step in. California has a number of committee chairs who should get factual information from the feds and from the CRP about these hirings, who greased the skids for their landing jobs, and the possible role of Grover Norquist.
