The record is clear! Isakson and
Chambliss vote against amendment to curtail enormous "guest worker"
program.
After voting for cloture and
allowing the amnesty bill to bypass the regular committee path,
there was a vote on Amendment 1153. This amendment would have
eliminated the up to 900,000 "guest worker" per year visas to be
granted in addition to the 12-20 million Z-visas, and up to 20-40
million other visas to be granted to
current illegal aliens.
Senator Isakson has told the public
that he was involved in the wheeling and dealing to create this
amnesty bill only to guarantee that the border protection features
were included.
Then why did he vote against an
amendment to curtail the extra "guest workers" in addition to the
12-20 million Z-visas?
Ladies and gentlemen - you know the
answer! Despite what Senator Isakson will tell you - he is voting
for cheap labor!
Senator Chambliss will tell you, as
he did the Republican State convention that if you don't support
millions upon millions of foreign workers you will have to import
your vegetables! What a crock!
The best thing that could happen to
Georgia will be if Senator "Cheap Labor" Chambliss is retired from
public service next year so he can grow a garden.
He will be very surprised to learn
that vegetables don't speak spanish! In fact prior to the record
breaking high levels of illegal immigration of the last couple
decades our country was one of the world's leading exporters of food.
So apparently the vegetables were picked!
But Senator "Cheap Labor" Chambliss
has a higher calling and such facts are of little consequence. For
five pages detailing his higher calling, click
here.
But for those who believe that a
Republican can do no wrong, the information about this roll call
vote follows. We also highlighted the vote of Senator Ted Kennedy.
Aren't you
glad you elected two Republican Senators to vote the same as Senator
Ted Kennedy?
They also voted the same way as
the other Senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry.
For those who are surprised at
the Republican support for the Amnesty Bill, you were told it was
coming by the Republican National Committee. Over a year ago the
Republican National Committee (RNC) endorsed the Bush Administration
Amnesty Plan (See:
Republican National Committee (RNC) endorses Bush Amnesty Plan).
Of course on this issue the
Democrats are worse. But voting for the lessor of two evils is on
the verge of bring the citizens of our country between 40-60 million
immigrants to supply corporate greed for "cheap labor."
Perhaps it is time to open up
our political process to some real competition. the two major
parties (Republican and Democratic) seem to have more interest in
campaign contributions than representing the best interests of the
citizens!

The American
public polls 70-80% against amnesty.
The US Senate
votes 70% in favor of amnesty.
Wonder if this
is what Thomas Jefferson had in mind when he wrote the Declaration
of Independence? Why has the federal government disconnected with
the citizens? We recommend watching some of the videos by Donnie
Kennedy, they are located on YouTube at:
http://YouTube.com/KennedyGOPdotcom He is a Louisiana Kennedy
not a Massachusetts Kennedy - quite a difference!
Of course Senator Chambliss and
Isakson would prefer you watch videos about the Massachusetts
Senator Ted Kennedy! Birds of a feather flock together!
