 A pro-enforcement immigration activist says while Scott Brown's Senate victory earlier this week should be something to celebrate, it doesn't guarantee the Senate won't pass amnesty legislation.
The Republican Senate victory in the "Blue" state of Massachusetts has been touted as a historic upset, and even a referendum on President Barack Obama's radical liberal agenda.

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), endorsed Brown because of the candidate's pro-enforcement stance on illegal immigration. But Gheen says labeling the new senator as the "41st Republican vote" on healthcare reform may mean little when it comes to amnesty.
"[Brown's election] does destroy the Democrats' super-majority necessary to pass cloture votes," Gheen comments. "However, our math [regarding amnesty legislation] is not certain because we know that [Republican Senators] John McCain and Lindsay Graham are both working with the Democrats to try to create a bill -- which of course those two, as Republican traitors, would support."
The ALIPAC president adds that his organization will work hard to defeat the amnesty legislation filed in Congress and to see a repeat of the Brown victory scenario in hundreds of races this November.
