Third Largest
Political Party
Cries ‘Foul ’on
Amnesty Scheme
Supported by GOP
Presidential
Hopefuls.
Lancaster, PA:
The
Constitution Party
(www.constitutionparty.com),
the third largest
political party (www.ballot-access.org)
strongly denounces
what is shaping up
to be a wholesale
sell-out by
Republican Senators
on course to reward
illegal aliens by
okaying
AMNESTY.(S.9,
S. 330)
“There are 49
Republicans in the
U.S. Senate who
figure they can
slide an AMNESTY
bill by the American
people because it’s
being passed off as
somehow tough on
illegal
immigration,” said
Constitution Party
National Chairman
Jim Clymer.
“It’s astounding
that those
representing a party
that claims to be
tough on illegal
immigration are
pushing some of the
most damaging pieces
of immigration
legislation yet… and
two of those pushing
hardest are
Republican
presidential
hopefuls for ’08,
Senators McCain and
Brownback!” Clymer
noted.
The Constitution
Party, the only
pro-secure borders
party in the
country, believes
GOP Senators are
fully aware that
Americans are fed up
with the crisis of
the illegal invasion
and that enforcement
is the key issue.
That being said, it
appears the
Republicans in the
Senate are willing
to vote for
pro-amnesty bills
because they have
the appearance of
being tough on
enforcement.
“Not so”, said
Clymer. “The
immigration bills
now before the
Senate would reward
more than 12 million
illegal aliens with
citizenship simply
for making a cursory
trip back to Mexico
then returning to
continue to claim
all the benefits
American citizens
can claim.”
The Constitution
Party points out
that despite
rhetoric painting
immigration reform
legislation as
“enforcement first”
bills, in reality
current measures let
illegals stay and
work despite having
broken the law and
are shameless bones
thrown to appease
business’ greed for
cheap labor.
“No wonder the
Republicans have
lost the confidence
of their base”, said
Clymer. “If the GOP
continues on course
to ignore the wishes
of the overwhelming
majority of
Americans on this
issue, what choice
will Americans have
but to vote for a
party in ’08 that
doesn’t need to be
asked:
“What part of ‘No
Amnesty’ don’t these
guys understand?”
