Armey is a jerk.
Jobs Magnet (Or How Congress ensured illegal aliens keep coming)
November 2, 1997
The first real showdown over last year's immigration law came in September 1995 when the House Judiciary Committee approved pilot projects to test whether something as simple as a phone call to the federal government could sharply cut illegal immigration. Employers would make the toll-free call to verify the Social Security number of every new employee, making it harder for unauthorized workers to get jobs. It was a key to curbing the flow, supporters said. But later, behind closed doors, House Majority Leader Dick Armey gave other key House Republicans a warning.Immigration Rising on Bush's To-Do ListThe immigration bill would die, the Texas Republican said, unless it was endorsed by small business. And that wouldn't happen if even one employer was required to take part in an employment verification pilot project
A White House-backed coalition of business groups and immigrant advocates, to be called Americans for Border and Economic Security, will be led by former U.S. Reps. Cal Dooley (D-Hanford) and Dick Armey (R-Texas)."There's two voices right now, and the noisy one is what I call the slam-the-borders crowd," Armey said. "The voice we want to speak with — and the one that will be in unison with President Bush — is the voice that echoes those marvelous words on the Statue of Liberty."
"To me, the Tancredo wing appeals to the more prurient character of our nature," Armey added. "We want to talk to the better angels of our nature."
Yep, business before security. I thought Armey was better than this.
Knowing Armey supports the Pence immigration bill tells me that it is nothing but a sham - it is amnesty delayed. Close the borders (wink wink) keep everyone here and surprise, surprise offer immediate citizenship. Make a quick trip to Mexico to get the members of families still in Mexico - bring them to the US so they can legally steal the American taxpayers blind. Then sit back and laugh your heads off at how stupid gringos are. Armey is a traitor. I say, Tancredo for president!
Armey is a propagandist who last year had his hand out:

Whether his group got any money is unknown, but your links and my link should be taken into account when determining whether you should believe anything he says.
