What Haley Barbour didn't tell Fox News: he lobbied for Mexico on 'amnesty' By: Time Magazine's Michael Scherer
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour made the case Sunday on Fox News that his career as a high-powered federal lobbyist for domestic corporations and foreign governments would be an asset if he ran for President in 2012.
Barbour may be eager to showcase his record, but one of Barbour's foreign lobbying clients could cause him some troubles in the 2012 Republican primary, if he decides to run. According to a State Department filing by Barbour's former lobbying firm, The Embassy of Mexico decided to retain Barbour's services on August 15, 2001, to work on, among other things, legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for foreigners living illegally in the United States—what opponents of immigration reform call “amnesty.”

Only way el blimpo prostituto is going to the White House is if Michelle gives him a tour. Wonder if Taft's Bathtub is still available.
This fat f*** better drop Mexico like a hot tamale if he wants ANY future in GOP politics. Hint for Haley: Jeb Bush is NOT the future of our party.
Sounds good to me.
Not that I don't trust CNN or anything....
Have any of you ever complained about the media picking our candidates?
This article is from page 1 of their playbook.
The guy hasn't even announced yet, and many here have disqualified him.
By, By, Buy Haley... Your love of this nation and its welfare is second to your own personal well being ...go go enjoy... sit on a beach and enjoy your pesos
“Is this even true?”
I know NumbersUSA.com gives Barbour a D- report card on immigration. So even if he didn’t lobby on behalf fo the Meh-he-canos for amnesty, Barbour’s immigration record is pathetic.

Don’t you ping for Mississippi?
bump
Mississippi ping
Well I suppose Boss Hogg can join Newt Gingrich and Jeb Bush in the “I will not vote for this guy under any circumstances” category.
Bye bye Haley.
whatever it is maybe the rest of ya'll should try it.
88 PERCENT of white Mississippians vote GOP.
No one else comes close...except of course..Alabama
Haley is a 7 on a scale of 10 conservatively..not perfect admittedly and flawed but be careful about generalizing about the state based on his alleged lobbying and we had our issues with Lott too and Trent's faggot son got Dixie banned at Ole Miss..I personally consider the Lotts no better than their in law Dick Scruggs
last great MS senator was a Dixiecrat..John Stennis
In other words Mexico has an official policy to offload their citizens on the United States.
But for many, anyone who worked for amnesty is automatically eliminated from consideration. I know Lott did, and some here are sure that Barbour did. The party does not need another president pushing amnesty against the desires of a good majority of the party, not matter what other positives an individual might have.
Well he’s done then.I cant say that I trust him now.
They have been bashing and screwing us for years.Remember RR wasnt supposed to win.
;^)
so....that was never my point
my point was that Mississippians ....the lighter ones..are the most conservative in the US...Haley notwithstanding
