GOP “revolt” on illegal immigration…is Governor Perdue next?

Today’s news from San Antonio Texas gives an interesting view of the changing national skew on amnesty for illegal aliens…and criminal employers.

It seems that the president of the United States is facing what an increasing number of MSM reporters are labeling a GOP “revolt”…code for “they must soon run for re-election” …and Bush cannot.

The cry of “nation over political party” [ at least “re-election over political party”] is spreading like… well, like illegal “migration” from Mexico.

It is turning up all over the United States.

Having gotten the message from angry constituents in their districts, no longer are the soon to be [officially] campaigning politicians willing to spout the party line that the future of America depends on our continued abandonment of the rule of law, several million needy illegal aliens a year walking into our nation – and turning a blind eye to the illegal employment of the unemployed from the south.

“GOP reps want a hold put on guest worker plan”

Express News/KENS 5, San Antonio:

Express-News Washington Bureau

“Republican lawmakers urged President Bush on Friday to abandon his push for a guest-worker program until the strict enforcement of immigration laws is achieved along the U.S.-Mexico border.”

What a concept…si ?

“Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, said increased enforcement of immigration laws at the border is essential before Congress considers a guest-worker program.”
“We have lost control of our borders and endangered the lives of Americans by not enforcing immigration laws,” he said.

“Smith penned a letter to the White House signed by 82 Republican members of the House of Representatives who urged Bush to back off on his guest-worker proposal and concentrate on border enforcement.”

Good, but let’s be clear here.

American lives are not only “endangered”, they are being lost as a direct result of the President’s refusal to honor his oath of office.

Ask Kathy and Billy Inman.

Ask the family of Lisa AnnBourqaudez in Cobb County Georgia …ask any of the families of the lost on a far too long list of dead Americans.

It is tragedy enough that we watch as our children’s nation is changed into a lawless, low wage, bilingual image of the Third World, but the fact that the illegals are allowed to continue to “look for a better life” at the cost of American lives must not go un-noticed …or forgotten.

Even some Democrat politicians from the states hit the hardest by the mass influx of illegal aliens understand that the political winds are blowing at category three speeds and cannot be ignored.

More from Texas:

“Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, filed a bill Friday that would increase fines on businesses for hiring undocumented workers.”

“Gonzalez accused Congress of demagoguery in the debate over illegal immigration, while failing to penalize and prosecute employers and businesses that knowingly hire undocumented workers.”
“I am disturbed by the fact that many people appear to be more interested in gaining political advantage than doing anything to stem the flow of illegal immigration,” Gonzalez said.”

From here in Marietta, it is interesting to listen to the silence from Governor Sonny Perdue’s office on the growing discontent here in Georgia.

We look for Governor Perdue [ someone who is running for re-election] to re-think his public support of the President’s amnesty proposal – and to recognize that he must stop ignoring the power he has to make Georgia less attractive to illegal immigration.

Watch.

But while you watch, call the Governor’s [ 404 656 1776] office and encourage him to re-check the winds.

Many Georgians who are registered to vote already are.

Category five by November?
