Re post #12 — yeah, they really represent the little people, NOT.

Your post reminded me I should send a fax to Chambliss. I clicked on his website and lo and behold he’s got a big photo of him and Isackson delivering Vidalia Onions to DC. OH THE IRONY.

Why & When workplace enforcement of illegal aliens stopped
[snip]
Workplace raids by INS were frequent until the late 1990’s. A spring 1998 sweep that targeted the Vidalia onion harvest in Georgia, and Operation Vanguard, a 1999 INS operation on meatpacking plants in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota, provide case studies of how the immigration laws fared when confronted by a coalition that included low-wage immigrant workers and the industries that hire them.
The Georgia raids netted 4,034 illegal immigrants, prompting other unauthorized workers to stay home.
Instead of being applauded for enforcing the law, the INS came under attack from Georgia’s congressional delegation. Georgia’s two senators and three of its House members, led by then-Sen. Paul Coverdell (R) and Rep. Jack Kingston (R),Saxby Chambliss complained in a letter to Washington that the INS did not understand the needs of America’s farmers. The raids stopped.

I can't blame you for that. I can't decide which of those two is the most reprehensible, so I'll call it a tie.
My Senators haven't been too bad up until this awful amnesty bill came along. I can't imagine why they think that supporting it can help them politically when most of the people in GA are fed up to their eyeballs with illegal immigrants. We're sick of them, their crimes, their habit of cruising our streets half drunk in uninsured clunkers, and the exorbitant expense to GA taxpayers for their emergency room health care that we are forced by federal law to subsidize.
Go into any GA hospital waiting room and the first thing you notice is a large sign on the wall advising you that federal law mandates that anyone who comes in seeking treatment must be treated without regard to their ability or inability to pay. As a result, every Hispanic kid and elderly person who has the sniffles or a headache is sitting in an emergency room somewhere waiting to see a doctor for minor routine health problems that the rest of us usually take care of ourselves with a couple of Tylenol or a spoonful of Pepto Bismol.
If our so-called "leaders" are bound and determined to give away the country to illegal immigrants bit by bit no matter what we say or do, why not just get it over with quickly by opening the vaults at Fort Knox and advertising in Mexico free gold bars for any Hispanic or mestizo man, woman, or child who crosses the border illegally?
A LITTLE MORNING HUMOR
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard
in the middle of a desert.
Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.”
So they created a night watchman position and hired a
person at $18,000 a year for the job.
Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job
without instruction?” So they created a planning department
and hired two people, one person to write the instructions for $22,000,
and one
person to do time studies for an additional $22,000 per year.
Then Congress said, “How will we know the night
watchman is doing the tasks correctly? So they created a Quality Control
department and hired two people. One to do the studies for $31,000 and
one
to write the reports for an additional $31,000 per year.
Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get
paid?” So they created the following positions, a time keeper for
$35,000 annual salary, and a payroll officer for an additional
$35,000, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all
of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired
three people, an Administrative Officer at $155,000 per year, Assistant
Administrative Officer $125,000, and a Legal Secretary for an
additional $100,000 per year.
Then Congress said, “We have had this operating for
one year with a budget cost of $574,000.00 and we are $18,000 over
budget. We must cutback overall cost.”
So they laid off the night watchman.
“I think it’s narrow minded to focus on amnesty. We need to broaden our thinking, and consider deporting illegals.”
And at that I will do a better job than the ones in charge now.
It probably is time to get rid of chambliss...I want the border enforced. Also, I want illegals out of GA period.
