GOP Rep. Grimm Hired Illegals, Backed Amnesty
The Daily Caller ^ | Neil Munro

New York GOP Rep. Mike Grimm had a secret reason for supporting the Senate’s “comprehensive immigration reform” bill — it includes a partial pardon for people who illegally hire low-wage illegals instead of tax-paying Americans.

That’s precisely what he was doing from 2007 to 2010, according to a charge sheet described today by a New York prosecutor.

Another fraud exposed. Good. Constitutional conservatives will be better off losing a few of these reps than having them sabotage us from within.

Remember when a disclosure that civil service drone hired a nanny and didn’t pay social security was enough to cause withdrawal of his/her nomination?
Well, that was then.
Today we have lawmakers like this cretin wanting to pass laws to get amnesty for himself, for past and (presumably) present crimes—violations of federal law.

And that's the problem with Amnesty.

It isn't just crossing the border illegally. It's a laundry list of crimes by both aliens and citizens that gets forgiven.

When do the Amnesty supporters plan to extend the same courtesy to the citizens they supposedly represent?

Tax evasion? Illegal employment? False identity? Use of public money under false pretenses? Driving illegally?

And they won't have to plead to a single charge, or have the record hung on them.

Unlike Mr. Grimm, if he gets convicted.

Which he damn well should if Lynch can prove it.

But what about lesser evil? What about No matter what? Freepers told me no matter what so by definition these people support his continued service. This is what ‘no matter what’ means.

Perhaps when they pop up spouting that crap you and the rest of us should remind them to go to hell.

FWIW, I was one of the first to latch on to the now-cliche “the lesser of evils is still evil”.

As I’ve said many times on this site,”They are ALL crooked.” The US Congress would corrupt the Pope and Mother Teresa without breaking for lunch.

Horrible news, Grimm (Dim) says he’s still running for reelection.

This makes beating him with a write-in in the primary much harder. The DCCC is salivating.

Vito Fossella and now this guy, what a couple of prizes.
