In Farewell Speech, Martinez Paints Stark Contrast with Sen. LeMieux on Immigration

Retiring Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) used his farewell address on the Senate floor today to lament the failure of Washington to fix our badly broken immigration system, an issue he championed during his time in Congress. Too bad Mel’s replacement, George LeMieux, is already unveiling an immigration stance at odds with the more moderate Martinez approach— and with Republicans’ long-term interests, for that matter.

Today Sen. Martinez invoked President Ronald Reagan during his farewell speech, saying,

[quote]"…if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." I believe those words to be as true today as they were then. Although the [immigration] bill didn’t make it across the finish line, I’m proud of the progress that was made. I hope Congress can one day reach consensus on the issue because fixing our nation's broken immigration system remains a national imperative.â€

He overlooked the fact that Mr. Reagan was not talking about being overrun by untold millions of illegal aliens......and even legal immigrants.....who come here and then demand this country be rearranged to suit THEM, take advantage of our system, have bankrupted this country, displaced Americans in our own country, brought their Third World barbary and lawlessness with them, destroyed everything they have gotten their hands on, etc.

Stuff it Martinez and good riddance.

Good riddens.

Bye ~ Bye and don't come back RINO

What is ambiguous about saying "secure the borders"? Cheap shot, IMO. And I think I will send Lemieux a congratulatory email.

I can't wait for him to get an e-mail address.
