Voters Did Not Choose Illegal Alien Amnesty and Guest Workers in Last Week's Elections
Thursday November 16, 2:31 pm ET


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the polls closed last Tuesday, advocates for illegal immigrants and open borders have been busy spinning the results as an endorsement of their calls for a massive amnesty and guest worker program. These pundits have selectively focused on a few races in which pro-immigration enforcement legislators were defeated, while ignoring overwhelming evidence -- including direct referenda in which voters approved tough immigration enforcement measures -- of bipartisan support for enforcement.


In Arizona, where two vocal pro-enforcement Republicans were defeated as part of a nationwide repudiation of the party's overall management of the government, voters handily approved four ballot measures aimed at curbing illegal immigration. All four of the Arizona ballot initiatives were approved with more than 70 percent of the vote, including about half of Hispanic voters in the state.

"Entirely apart from their position on immigration enforcement, many Republicans lost their seats as voters registered their dissatisfaction with the overall direction of the nation. While a few pro-enforcement Republicans were defeated, it is also true that the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats who took firm stand on immigration enforcement were sent back to Washington by the voters," observed Dan Stein, president of FAIR.

Also ignored by the open borders pundits is the fact that many of the Democrats who were swept into office last week ran on immigration enforcement platforms. In each race in which a strongly pro-enforcement Republican lost, they were defeated by a Democrat who vowed to be just as tough on illegal immigration.

"Support for enforcement of immigration laws and opposition to amnesty and guest worker programs came from Democrats as well as Republicans in the recent elections," noted Stein. "Among Democrats, proposals for amnesty and more guest workers were widely seen as a component of the White House's overt preference for business interests over the interests of working Americans.

"Many of the so-called Reagan Democrats, who returned to the party in this election, have grown increasingly convinced that the current administration is betraying their most basic interests. If the new Democratic majority wants to keep these swing voters in their camp, they would be well advised not to sell out the jobs and security of working Americans to the far left multiculturalists who see mass immigration as a tool to institute their own radical agenda," Stein warned.

"The American public sent a clear message that they want a real change in direction on a lot of issues. When it comes to immigration policy the changes they want to see are significant reductions in the number of people coming here and living here illegally," said Stein. "Neither party has a mandate from the people to enact amnesty and guest worker policies that would further undermine the American middle class."
