The Chamber of Commerce and groups like it have been allowed to hijack a large part of the process and even write part of the legislation.
Chamber of Commerce and other special interests are having a hand in offering the legislation.
One Republican Hill staffer complained, “The Chamber has seen more than the senators when it comes to the actual writing on paper.”
Senator Kennedy has been inviting the stakeholders of this bill to come in. So that’s the Chamber of Commerce. And it’s the National Council of La Raza, and it’s the immigration attorneys. Basically, the stakeholders are people who make money or gain power off of it.
Don't forget the Mexican intellectuals and political criollo leadership who've never forgiven us for the two wars with Mexico. They are vindictive and revanchist.
