Here are some new recruits--rallying for McCain's Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

A former California Republican Party official's false-arrest lawsuit against U.S. immigration authorities has been thrown out of court.
A federal judge in Brooklyn, N.Y., ruled last month that immigration officers did nothing wrong when they jailed Michael Kamburowski, 35, on a deportation warrant in 2004, three years before he was hired as chief operating officer for the California GOP.
Kamburowski, an Australian citizen, had sued in 2005, seeking $5 million damages from the government. The lawsuit was pending when state party chief Ron Nehring hired him in March 2007 to oversee the state party's finances, but party officials said they were unaware of Kamburowski's dispute with the government until The Chronicle reported on it.
Some Republicans criticized Nehring for hiring a foreign executive with immigration problems at a time when many in the party were advocating a crackdown on illegal immigration. Kamburowski resigned in July.
According to court records, Kamburowski came to the United States in 1995 on a tourist visa. Although he had no valid work permit, he worked for five years as a congressional lobbyist for Americans for Tax Reform. The Washington, D.C., think tank is run by conservative activist Grover Norquist.

[In 2004] Kamburowski applied for a green card based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen and reported to an immigration office in New York ... While he was there, immigration officers found the arrest warrant and put Kamburowski in jail. After 29 days, he was freed on bail. A judge later granted him legal immigration status because of his marriage.

Here are some new recruits--rallying for McCain's Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

I still think he should have been forced to leave.
There were lots of different things to focus on. Try this one:
...had sued in 2005, seeking $5 million damages from the government...This just goes to show that he was hired by the GOP because of his strong ideological views of personal responsibility and other republican values. /s
“Although he had no valid work permit, he worked for five years as a congressional lobbyist for Americans for Tax Reform. The Washington, D.C., think tank is run by conservative activist Grover Norquist.”
Everything wrong with our immigration policies has that name attached to it...GROVER NORQUIST. He ought to be in jail with his ‘immigrant’ muslim radicals that he has promoted and have been indicted or jailed or deported. Not to mention his best buddy Abramoff.
I understand Grover has endorsed McCain...now THERE is a shocker!
How did he rise to prominence?
Was he at one time a good guy and then went to the darkside?
I don’t get it.
“How did he rise to prominence?

Norquist was NEVER a good guy. He promotes the darkside.
I’ve wondered the same, calcowgirl, how he got the kind of influence he has. I think he’s got those FBI files Hillary confiscated, or dirty pictures. I just don’t understand it either.
Before Bush was picked, Grover was sent to Texas to give his ‘approval’ and set Bush straight on some policy. Bush didn’t stray from Grover’s open border plan one bit. And all the muslim kissing up, directed by Grover.
Another thing.
Norquist’s wife (pakistani Muslim) was picked by Bush to work for USAID, a bureaucracy filled with crazies and mismanagement and graft.
Norquist’s brother was chosen as head financial officer of Homeland security AFTER he was the same for DOD and messed up ALL the Iraqi funds.
Norquist is who put Jack Abramoff into the Interior Department to pick their people and got him access to the white house.
It just goes on and on.
...and McCain did the soft shoe routine with the Abramoff hearings- protecting his colleagues in congress by withholding politically damaging e-mails while he was simultaneously pushing McCain-Feingold and proclaiming himself as an "agent of change".
