Ed Gillespie is the single most responsible person for the illegal immigration problem in the United States. He is the Albert Speer of the "new" Americas.

Many Americans are quite aware of the lack of difference in the supposed two party system here in the US. Ed Gillespie former chief of staff to Al Gore, co-owner of the "bi=partisan" lobbying firm Quinn Gillespie and Associates was selected by President George W Bush to chair the Republican National Committee from 2003 to 2005. In 2007 President Bush appointed him as counselor to the President.

The 2003-2005 time period saw the laying of the infrastructure for the recent upheavals in the anti US sovereignty movement and the fastly rapid Republican support move towards funding illegal immigration. He even went as far as to write an accusative column in the Wall Street Journal that contained rhetoric championed by Lindsey Graham.

Here are some interesting reserach points found by citizens.org, a congressional watchdog group, about Gillespie:
