Sali, Minnick campaigns spar about immigration

BOISE — Congressman Bill Sali’s campaign claims comments made by opponent Walt Minnick suggest the Democrat supports insurance for illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense.

The comments, recorded on video at a Sun Valley fundraiser, have been circulated by a group called Club for Truth that describes itself in an e-mail as a Washington, D.C.-based Web site not sponsored by any congressional candidate or political action committee.

In the video, Minnick remarks: “My own view is, it doesn’t make sense to try to round up, arrest and deport 12 to 20 million people. There aren’t enough police officers; there aren’t enough jails; it isn’t possible to do that.

“It would make sense to give them an incentive to emerge from the shadows, start paying taxes, start getting insurance, pay a penalty because they have violated the law and put ‘em in the back of the line for legal immigration ...â€

We can round-up and deport illegals, but no one wants to. It was done effectively in 1953, if they could do it then, we can do it now. WHY! Do people think we need more people in this country using our already limited resources, when they are not entitled to them. Why!!! Did I loose my job because I refused to learn spanish. I worked for that company for 10 years and was kicked to the curb because they wanted to use slave labor and wanted me to learn to communicate with them. NO NO NO... This is my country and we speak english here. They are right on one point. All illegals need to come out of the shadows. Then board a bus home. I can't even get a job cleaning hotel rooms because I don't speak spanish. I have children that now have no insurance and they are worried about them, WHATEVER! I have had all I can take. I will be forced onto welfare because of this mess. I guess thats what the government wants. Lay down and welcome the new middle class, viva la methico.

BOISE – Idaho Congressman Bill Sali has a new campaign ad out charging that one of his rival’s “priorities is health insurance for illegal aliens,â€

[b]Minnick advocates securing borders, deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records, and requiring the rest to appear before a judge, pay a fine, and “then begin a process that puts them at the back of the line for legal status,â€

Sali is running alot of ad's here saying Minnick is going to give amnesty to illegal immigrants.

Haven't seen any ad's from Mimmick's side.
