The open border lobby minority tells us often that no American has a right to a job or a good wage. Curious isn’t it though, they have no problem with corporations being guaranteed a profit, even if it’s gotten illegally and at the expense of US citizens.
You describe the exact thing that happened with the practice of slavery in our early history. I've researched this for 3 years for a book. Many families suffered in poverty for generations avoiding succumbing to owning slaves. They had big families and worked themselves to death and got nowhere for generations. Others were 'benevolent' slave owners because they dispised the practice, but slave owners non the less. It became a choice of poverty or economic security. I hate seeing us left with that choice again.

Indeed.
true
Crooked politicians have been helping crooked businesses break the law.
They brought back treason by calling it "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".
I will do my part and notify them I want Martinez removed.
I was afraid about the Lindsey Graham deal that Rove would be right there with money and support. He needs to go yesterday.
Your scenario happened here in OK in 2004 with Dr. Coburn. The WH candidate did not win the primary so Rove dried up DC money for Dr. Tom but he had one of the largest grassroots movements I have ever seen. I personally made over 10,000 phone calls and we elected Dr. Tom without help of the WH — President never did come into campaign for him.
So, The WH wanted a Dem in that seat, do you think?
Their candidate lost in the primary to Dr. Tom — when he first started running he was going to get all kinds of money from DC. He got clobbered by Dr. Tom in the primary and money dried up, phoney polls were put out, the President refused to campaign in OK, and two weeks before the election Speaker Hastert and Bill Frist said that Dr. Tom was going to lose according to the polls (which we now know were phoney) which set off a firestorm here.
Found out earlier this month that in 2004, Rove started drying up funds for any candidates that were against illegal immigration and it hit me that is what happened to Dr. Tom. He was against illegals and his Dem opponent was a former staffer for the Clinton WH and we know how he would have voted. He even worked in Hillary’s NY office after the Clintons left the WH.
Do I think this WH with Rove and Bush would have preferred Carson, absolutely now that I know a lot more than I did in 2004! Look at 2006 and the GOP members that were for border security and against illegals and how many lost.
I'm also looking at the defeat of Hayworth in AZ. That was supposedly the "proof" that opposing illegal immigration was a "loser"...
So, the morning after the election, Bush and Rove were "high fiving" each other over their successful strategy.
We been fragged.

I have talked to a few people in AZ and they feel Rove was against Hayworth from the beginning. In fact, one of them told me if Hayworth had the money at the end, he could have won.
From what some of us can tell, they dry up the incumbents money by getting him a primary challenger, and then dry up the incumbents money from NRCC or NRSC along with RNC in the general.
The following I found on a website that dated back to 2004 and is what connected the dots in the Coburn race:
Quote:
Sources say that in recent weeks, word has gone out from Karl Rove’s office that Republican congressional candidates who fail to “stay away” from the issue of illegal immigration risk losing the financial support of their national party. While this is not surprising (when the Wall Street Journal called for contributions recently to the campaign of Chris Cannon, whose support for amnesties forced him into a bruising primary, former Enron lobbyist and Republican National Committee chair Ed Gillespie responded with a personal donation of $500.00), it’s difficult to see the wisdom in preventing Republican candidates from speaking about an issue that polls consistently show the vast majority of Americans of both parties care so deeply about.
While the White House works to suppress the issue of illegal immigration at the convention, there is talk in as many as a dozen state GOP parties about adopting state party “no amnesty” planks. That nearly a quarter of the country’s GOP hierarchy would consider what amounts to open rebellion against the unpopular Gillespie and the Wall Street Journal extremists demonstrates the fissure that is widening between rank and file Republicans and the corporate globalists who wield such influence within the party.

They pay for every phone call which is even sweeter!
Do you mind if I post this on the Graham thread?
Post it everywhere you can find because everyone needs to know what this WH has been doing since 2004. I didn’t know it until recently but I did confirm with my Senator’s office this is exactly what happened in 2004.
I have linked to the article for anyone to check it out.
Thanks for posting this information. It answers some of the questions I’ve had regarding this administration’s illegal immigration position.
You’re welcome! I was shocked when I found it but all of a sudden 2004 and 2006 elections made sense including the President’s comments the night of the 2006 that he looked forward to working with the Dem leadership to pass immigration reform.
Thanks for posting this article about fleece-traders.
Their attitude, right from the beginning to the bitter end of the bill in the Senate yesterday was, “We want to bring in as much cheap labor as humanly possible now, next year, and forever more to fatten our wallets and we want everyone else to pick up the tab for it. If it puts American workers out of a job, we don’t care. If it drives their wages down, so much the better, because that means we make more money. If we have to leave the borders open and risk another 9/11, that’s fine with us. If we have to get the bill through by demonizing as racists the very people who have staunchly defended us on issue after issue, it doesn’t bother us a bit. Long story short, if anyone doesn’t like what we want to do, tough, because we bought these senators with our campaign contributions, we own them, and it’s our way or the highway.” In other words, for a lot of these companies that knowingly hire illegals, this is all about raw, unbridled greed.
