Thanks for the link. Yes, the article does put Russell Sias in a bad light. But I think anyone really concerned about the immigration issue will see beyond that.
I wish Rep. Cannon would have taken a different route on this issue. Like I posted earlier, his voting record on most other issues is great. It would be sad to lose such a conservative voice in government over just this one issue of immigration.
Why would he risk losing his conservative support over this? Seems like he could have come up with other ways to tackle this issue, solutions which would not alienate conservative thinkers. Guess it's easier said than done.
My problem with Chris Cannon is more basic than the “Issue” that is being discussed. It goes to rule of law, are they here illegally, or not? If they are lawbreakers, then enforce the law. IF we want more “Migrant workers from Mexico” then make it legal. Just don’t break the law, and tell me it’s the right thing to do. All I am asking is that we do what we say, is that too hard?
On the other hand, Matt Throckmorton ( http://www.matt4utah.com/ ) (Google, thanks Dane :-) seems to be a conservative on things other than Illegal Immigration, but I’ll have to do more research… But let me ask this, where in the Constitution did it mention schools, and exactly how long did we get along with out federalizing the schools?
