Republican Sellouts Strike Again‏

An urgent post from http://www.petermorrisonreport.com/  about E-Verify in Texas. This follows this post an in-state tuition bill in Oregon and Matricula Consular Cards in North Carolina and this follows this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here.

Republican Sellouts Strike Again‏



Summary of this week's report:

Republican sellouts are once again threatening to derail good
immigration legislation in the Texas Legislature. Please contact
the chairman of the State Affairs Committee, Rep. Byron Cook, and
ask him to kill the guest worker program proposed by Rep. Aaron
Pena and to hold hearings on HB 296, the bill requiring E-Verify
system for Texas employers.

His phone number is 512-463-0730.

The full report is below:

I have to admit, despite the re-election of Joe Straus, I had high
hopes for the 2011 Legislature. With Republicans controlling a 2/3
majority of the House, surely good legislation would pass dealing
forthrightly with the immigration issue. The Senate's arcane 2/3
rule might allow the Democrats to kill good legislation there, but
at least all Republicans could unite in 2012 against a common enemy.

Sadly, this appears to not be the case this year. While the House
has passed Voter ID legislation and is likely to pass
anti-sanctuary-city legislation, they have done nothing on the core
issue, which is E-Verify to remove the jobs magnet that creates the
illegal immigration problem to begin with.

Worse than that, one recently converted Republican, Aaron Pena, has
introduced a guest worker bill at the behest of the Cheap Labor
Lobby. While the E-Verify bill, HB 296, has not yet had a hearing,
Rep. Byron Cook fast-tracked Pena's traitor bill to a hearing this
week.

What the heck is wrong with the Republican Party? They won't hold
hearings for good bills, but they have plenty of time to consider a
guest worker program. We've seen this movie twice before, first
with sellout Republican David Swinford in the 2007 session and then
again with Burt Solomons as chair of the State Affairs Committee in
the 2009 session. Now it appears that Rep. Byron Cook is going to
do a repeat.

Rep. Cook desperately needs calls telling him this is unacceptable
behavior for someone who is supposed to be looking out for
Republican interests.

All over the nation, the Republican Party is failing us. In
Arizona, 60 Cheap Labor Lobby CEO's wrote a joint letter to the
Republican leadership and derailed all of the immigration
legislation there, including a bill to challenge birthright
citizenship. In Utah, Republicans spit in the face of the Tea
Party by passing a guest worker program run by the state: a
proposal now gaining traction among sellout Republicans in North
Dakota and Texas.

The media, of course, is heaping praise on these Republicans who
betray their base. But here's the real tragedy: they still haven't
learned anything. They think they can get away with passing this
legislation and nothing will happen to them. They think the Tea
Party will be mollified with symbolic legislation instead of real
immigration action to eliminate the jobs magnet.

My friends, I'm afraid we have much work left to do in the 2012
primaries. If Rep. Cook keeps it up, he's the natural one to go on
the chopping block. If you are in his district and have an
interest in being your next state representative, or know someone
who does, please get in contact with me. The time to plan a
campaign is coming soon. We'll wait and see what these spineless
Republicans do, but we have to be ready if they betray us.

Please contact the chairman of the State Affairs Committee, Rep.
Byron Cook, and ask him to kill the guest worker program proposed
by Rep. Aaron Pena and to hold hearings on HB 296, the bill
requiring E-Verify system for Texas employers.

His phone number is 512-463-0730.
