Thread: The worst Congressman's platform on Imm. Reform

http://www.house.gov/grijalva/issues.html

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CONGRESSMAN RAUL GRIJALVA. He's been a member of MECha. He sponsored taxpayer money for "water stations" for illegal aliens when he sat on the Pima County Board of Supervisors. He doesn't answer letters from constituents. He holds public forums for non-citizens to apply for citizenship and he eats, dreams and sleeps "open borders." The following is from his web-site.

Immigration Reform

One of the most complex issues facing America today is the question of immigration and border policy. As the son of a migrant worker who entered this country through the infamous Bracero Program and who toiled long and hard on southern Arizona’s ranches, I am committed to the creation of sane and just immigration laws and border policy.

In my Congressional District every year, hundreds of people die crossing the border in search of work to feed their families. This is shameful. These innocent people die as a direct result of cruel immigration laws and unjust border policy. We must never forget that we are a country of immigrants. Immigrant labor built our cities, our railroads and worked in our mines, our factories and our fields. I am proud of our immigrant heritage.

Our immigration laws and border policy must also embody honor and respect for those seeking to enter the United States and for those who are here without documents, contributing nonetheless to our society.

In recognition of the great contribution undocumented people have made and continue to make, I support legalization. We must be true to our democratic principles and legalization, although known by other names over the years, has been a cornerstone of American immigration law since 1924. I also support a program which will allow persons seeking to work lawfully in the United States to do so without displacing or having an adverse impact on American workers. Finally, it is inconceivable that people must wait years and years to become naturalized United States citizens.

I pledge to work to remove the current administrative backlog so these people do not have to wait any longer than one year to become naturalized United States citizens.

Just a sad testament when an elected official will not represent the electorate that put him in office in the first place but only serves the illegal alien population. There is a recall procedure as this Rep speaks treason when he is affiliated with a militant organization that espouses overthrow of the government using violence if necessary and secession of the southwest to form the mythical land of Aztlan.

I beg your pardon, Illegal aliens die as a result of breaking into America and ignoring immigration policies. LEGAL immigrants built this country. And all illegal immigrants wait their turn in line, but, Illegals, demand rights that are not theirs! Why should "illegal aliens" breaking the law receive honor and respect instead of being sent home and feel lucky they aren't charged for their crimes? Or perhaps, they should be?

Is there any movement anywhere to ensure that illegal aliens are NOT voting? With the problems Arizona has with illegals, I cannot imagine this Congressman being re-elected unless...illegals are voting. This is a concern I have at the Texas mid-term elections also.
