Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is launching a new intiative to target Republicans supporting legalized status or a path to citizenship form of Amnesty for illegal immigrants with political push-back and primary challengers for 2014 and 2014.
The Obama administration and other leaders in Washington have indicated they believe that 'immigration reform' Amnesty is possible in 2013 because several Republicans are willing to side with Obama, including many who would surprise illegal immigration fighting activists, to support Amnesty.
"We are being forced to withdraw several endorsements for the first time in our organization's eight year history after finding lawmakers who have talked tough on illegal immigration on the pro amnesty side this year," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "While Democrats supporting Amnesty betray almost half of their party's constituents, Republicans are betraying over 70% of their constituents according to the latest Reuters poll showing 70% of Republicans want illegal immigrants deported instead of Amnesty."
ALIPAC is withdrawing the endorsements of Congressmen Ted Poe (R-TX), Daryl Issa (R-CA), Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), and Congressman Mike Coffman (R-CO).
These candidates were endorsed because ALIPAC believed they would stand up for America's existing border and immigration laws instead of any form of Amnesty based on their "A" grade ratings at NumbersUSA. ALIPAC makes endorsements based on its own candidate surveys, but some long standing incumbents are endorsed, if they have A ratings at NumbersUSA.
These Republican turncoats who have duped illegal immigration and Amnesty fighting activists into believeing they were sincere about enforcement will now be dropped from the ALIPAC endorsements list, targeted for agressive lobbying to change their stances, and targeted for primary challenges in the next election cycle.
They will join the list of US Senate GOP Amnesty supporters such as John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) who both lied to their constituents during their campaigns claiming they would both oppose Amnesty for illegal immigrants. Also on the list is Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). These Republican Senators are facing additional scrutiny for meeting with Obama to plot Amnesty and for working with Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey who is under investigation by the FBI for allegations of involvement with child prostitution services in the Dominican Republic.
