Somos Republicans: JD Hayworth Is Another Version Of Tom Tancredo
by DeeDee Somos Republicans
Tom Tancredo is the reason that a Midwestern State like Colorado went from Red to Blue during the 08 elections. Tom Tancredo’s immigrant bashing has resonated since he left office. For instance, Denver’s Spanish radio talk show host, Mario Solis-Marich, wrote: Why Dems Need Tom Tancredo to Receive the GOP Nod in Colorado. Mario salivates at the idea of Tom Tancredo running because he knows this will cause Latinos to increase in voter registrations and political involvement. Tom Tancredo’s immigrant bashing helped Obama secure the Midwestern State of Colorado.
Arizona is 4th behind New Mexico in population and if the Conservatives want to see Arizona turn into the likes of New Mexico, Colorado and Florida (which recently went from Red to Blue), then support JD who failed miserably in 2006 in a district where Republican voters outnumbered Democrats 3-2.
If you want to keep the State of Arizona “red”, then vote for McCain. It’s that simple. Obama would NOT have won the 08 elections if it were not for the Latinos who voted for him. In fact, the number of Latinos who went to the polls increased by nearly 25 percent over 2004, and Hispanic support for the Democratic nominee increased by 14 points over all compared with 2004.
Have you ever wondered why Ronald Reagan’s California went from Red to Blue? Look up Pete Wilson’s proposition 187 to find out why California has been blue ever since the Pete Wilson debacle.
Vote McCain if you want to keep the State of Arizona RED. With the political virgin such as Obama trying to run the white house, we best keep EXPERIENCE in the Senate, and believe me, McCain is the EXPERIENCE we need.
McCain is a veteran of the United States and he laid his life on the line for this great nation. And from one veteran to another — I personally support the man who risked his life for this nation over a mere radio show entertainer who got fired and humiliated by a Democrat in 2006.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the men and women who serve and lay their lives on the line for this nation, are the ones who truly care about this country. When McCain had the opportunity to escape POW camp, he gave that opportunity to his fellow man. McCain is a true American hero who will go down in our history books as such. On the other hand, JD Hayworth will be remembered as the radio jock that got spanked by (D) Harry Mitchell in a district where Republican outnumbered Democrats. JD Hayworth will also be remembered as the “immigrant basher” by several here in Arizona.
Latest statistics report that Arizona population by ethnicity is as follows:
59% White, Non-Hispanic
30% Hispanic
5% Native
4% Black
2% Asian
To cite the US Census Bureau, the Hispanic fertility rate from 1987 to 2007 in LEGAL Arizona Hispanic population has increased 211%.
The answer in solving immigration reform is not by initiating “operation wetback programs”, or by continuous immigrant bashing by the likes of Tom Tancredo and JD Hayworth. The answer to solving immigration reform is via capitalistic measures and fostering the free enterprise system. Many forget that slave labor used to be legal, and as such, immigration labor laws need to be changed, too. We need to create a system that receives the hard-working immigrant according to the needs of our nation, but we also need to circumvent the terrorists and evil-doers.
In looking at the Arizona demographics and in studying the political and population Hispanic shifts, a vote for JD Hayworth is a vote to turn this state from “red” to “blue” for a very long time.
JD Hayworth would most certainly be a liberals dream to wake the sleeping Latino giant. Learn from the mistakes of Tom Tancredo and the outcome during the 2008 elections.
House Immigration Subcommittee Ranking Member Steve King R-IA, with Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith R-TX led a forum, questioning whether all immigration should be stopped–legal and illegal, until the country was back from unemployment insolvency. E-Verify could become mandatory if NumbersUSA President Roy Beck's urgent plea be recognized by Congressional conferees, who listened intently to the horrendous jobless statistics of American workers. Evidence was provided that unemployment was steadily climbing, beyond a 12.8 rate and millions of people were looking to the US government for relief of some kind? Within a group of professionals and academic groups testifying was Dr. Steven Camarota, Vanderbilt Political Science professor Dr. Carol Swain, and Jerry Kammer an investigative reporter with the Copley News Service.
Kammer stated," Here is strong evidence that the company had a preference for illegal immigrants because they were more likely to accept low wages and poor conditions and they were vulnerable to what a federal court called the company’s “intense and widespread coercion” aimed at defeating the union’s organizing efforts." This has become widespread problem throughout the US, which seems to be accepted by many politicians. He also described the aftermath of raids at Swift six plants. He said, "All six facilities resumed work on the day of the raids, though at a reduced pace. To replenish its depleted ranks, Swift launched a campaign to recruit American citizens, green card holders, and refugees. It raised wages, provided bonuses to new workers, and paid relocation expenses. As a result, all the Swift plants were able to resume full production within four or five months. Kammer also detailed the industries’ response to the ICE raids that provided an opportunity to test the claim, often heard in the immigration discussions which many US companies have to employ illegal immigrants because Americans are unwilling to do the work? Kammer however, observed that the raids had a profound traumatic experience for the illegal families that were affected by the raids. BUT IT IS ALSO MADE CLEAR THAT ENFORCEMENT HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT IN THE LIVES OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS WHO NEEDED AND WANTED THE JOBS—ANY JOBS?
The group all determined that unemployment in American was so bad that all jobs being held by unauthorized employees, if vacated by enforcement, would be filled readily? Dr. Swain's testimony focused on the impact of immigration, specifically illegal immigration, had on Black and Hispanic Americans who were in the legal workforce? Dr. Camarota's testimony focused on the fact that there is no evidence of a worker shortage at the bottom end of the labor market. He also said that there is a huge supply of less-educated workers, and it's that group that's been most affected by the current job recession. Kammer's testimony had focused on the positive impact that work-site enforcement raids have had on American workers. He talked about how the raid at the world's largest pork processing plant in Smithfield, North Carolina freed up jobs for African Americans. It seems that, "jobs Americans won't do anymore" doesn't hold water? As Krammer added, "I was frequently told by current and former Swift workers, these are jobs Americans are willing to do–if they are provided decent wages and working conditions."
In final deliberations Kammer stated, “We have often heard from farmers in California and Arizona that if they improved wages enough to attract legal labor, Americans would be confronted with the $5 head of lettuce. But agricultural economist Philip Martin destroyed that myth by showing that since fieldworkers’ wages account for only six percent of the retail cost of lettuce and other crops, their wages could rise sharply without a major effect at the checkout counter. Similarly, the labor of meatpacking workers accounts for only seven to nine percent of the retail cost of beef and pork. So if wages were increased by a third, the cost at the grocery story would only rise by three percent, at the most."
Unequivocally we must recall that when Comprehensive Immigration Reform was passed in 1986, that millions in agriculture and other poorly paid industry labor vanished, to only reappear in the mainstream of the job market, taking jobs from low-skilled blacks, Caucasian and Hispanic workers. Employment normally open to senior citizens, students, single mothers, veterans suddenly disappeared, given as it was to the newcomers. E-VERIFY WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? E-Verify will not be the whole answer, but random checks by Police using the 287(G) police law, to be trained in immigration rules of apprehension are a strong counterpart? Then a much more streamlined E-Verify will deliver a nationwide commitment of ICE and immigration audits to do random checks on any business. It would keep pariah employers looking over their shoulder for agents of ICE. Popularity has grown with each upgrade of E-Verify and the need for expensive deportation could be a thing of the past? Penalties should not be lenient anymore and those employers, who take the risk of knowingly hiring illegal workers, should be dealt with severely.
In this disastrous recession our politicians must be savoring being unemployed themselves, if they force America into another Amnesty. How can they even conceive such an idea when so many of the legal population is wondering how they are going to feed their family? Every last one of them must be hounded down and told, DO NOT SIGN ON FOR A 2009-10 AMNESTY? THERE WILL BE NASTY REPERCUSSION IN THE VOTING BOOTH, STARTING WITH SENATOR HARRY REID OF NEVADA NEXT YEAR? MAJORITY SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI WILL BE CLOSE BEHIND FOR THE WRECKING BALL? Warn all politicians at 202-224-3121, or go to their offices in person. Read about corruption and sanctuary city policies at JUDICIAL WATCH. CAPWEB, ALIPAC, CAPSWEB, AMERICAN PATROL & THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Tell them E-Verify must be made permanent, to start the "ATTRITION" enforcement procedure for every illegal worker in America? What can you do for AMERICA? YOU CAN USE YOUR VOTE! VOTING–OUT SEN. HARRY REID WILL BE A GOOD START AND ALARM THEM ALL! We cannot afford overpopulation growth, or corrupt politicians pandering to illegal immigrant and open border proponents anymore?
