Here's why old Mel got the White House nod....
Voted in favor of bill to increase immigration and grant amnesty to illegal aliens in 2006.
Sen. Martinez voted in favor of final passage of S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. S. 2611 would dramatically change most occupations and communities in America with the largest movement of foreign workers in world history. Specifically, S. 2611 would: reward approximately 10.2 million illegal aliens with an amnesty allowing them to permanently take American jobs and become U.S. citizens; double legal immigration from 1 million to 2 million a year; give out permanent green cards to up to 66 million foreign workers and dependents over the next 20 years. The main difference in terms of numbers between the final version of S. 2611 and the version of the bill when the cloture motion was invoked was that the Bingaman Amendment to cap the number of employment-based visas for workers, spouses and children at 650,000 was adopted after cloture but before final passage. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation estimates that the Bingaman Amendment would reduce employment-based visas available under S. 2611 by about 150,000 a year. S. 2611 passed by a vote of 62 to 36.

You're right!
Yep, that's the reason. Pretty hard to swallow this one.
You got it! I think the Admin. actually believes this was an election for amnesty and all the other crap we didn't want! Let the Latin Invasion begin!!
Thanks for finding this. (Have you seen this, JP?)
Who the **** makes the decision about this position? Can we the actual Rebublican registered voters have some say? Can we create a stink?
If anyone has numbers/email addresses etc, post them please. This is beyond insanity.
I am seriously angry about this.
Full speed ahead!! Make hay while the sun shines!! Amnesty, cha-cha-cha!!
