    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Gilmore Blasts Bush Shamnesty Proposal

JIM GILMORE SAYS ‘NEW’ BUSH
IMMIGRATION PROPOSAL IS AMNESTY LITE

SPRINGFIELD, VA – Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, is a descendent of immigrants who came to this country legally to seek the American dream, said today “President Bush’s latest immigration proposal is, unfortunately, same old, same old.”

Gilmore, a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, said most of the new Bush proposal focuses on the same solutions Bush has discussed previously and the ‘new’ proposal to resolve the status of millions of illegal immigrants already living in the country amounts to “amnesty lite.”

The President’s latest proposal provides a path to citizenship for those who have who have ignored our immigration laws if they meet ‘reasonable conditions.’ “That is just not acceptable and places an unfair burden on the American taxpayers and is an affront to the immigrants who came to this country legally,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore said, “Illegal immigration is costing American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. “We must secure America’s borders and stop the illegal immigration that is threatening our nation’s future.”

“Illegal aliens must be identified and required to register, “Gilmore said. “After registration, only those who pass background checks and have sponsors may be considered for temporary work visas, but none of them should be considered for citizenship unless they return home and they are allowed to reenter the country legally.”

Jim Gilmore announced his intention to explore a possible presidential candidacy just over two months ago and in recent weeks Gilmore has made trips to Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, all likely early primary states. The Gilmore campaign opened a national campaign office in Springfield, Virginia just last month and held its first fundraising event last week.

  1. As the Iowa primaries may be the first line of defence, when its people go to the polls. Hopefully the Iowan citizens see through the smoke and mirrors of the usual party Presidential candidates. Of course money can by you a grand spotlight on any TV channel, or a full page ad in the National or Hawkeye state newspapers.
    America is ready for a Tom Tancredo (CO) as he is a man of THE PEOPLE. He does not dance on strings, manipulated by the corporate CARTELS as a profit puppet. He has already seen through the obnoxious (NAU) North American Union, evoke by a traitorous dog called Bush. His no longer secret agenda has slithered through our government channels, without even a murmer. This treaty to tread American sovereignty into the mud, was concocted in Banff, Canada in 2002, with co-conspirators of Canada’s previous Prime Minister Martin, the corrupt Southern neighbor of Mexico and the guy that I actually voted for. The first step was to swamp America with cheap, foreign labor to undermine American citizens wages, followed by the ramshackle convoys of poorly maintained Mexican trucks. Please don’t take my word for it, check for yourself. start with the anti-ACLU (American Civil liberties Union–Called Judial Watch. GO here: http://www.judicialwatch.org. They are a All- American reputable organization against government corruption. More on the terrible ( NAU).

    Remember this nightmare will merge our three countries together and will mean the destruction of the U.S. Constitution and our flag. This is an opiate dream of the wealthy elites, European banks and establishments like Walmart and American Express. This is REAL! Already 17 State Congressional legislators have voted against any of this travesty of our laws. We THE PEOPLE havn’t approved it, nor has there been any Congressional oversight. The National media has been suppressed about it. But Tom Tancredo and Rep.Ron Paul no it exists. Small newspapers are aware and so are the nationwide blogs

  2. I’m glad to see James Gilmore opposing the so-called “immigration reform proposal” (a.k.a., “SHAMNESTY™”). At my blog, Bob McCarty Writes™, I offer several posts — http://bobmccarty.wordpress.com/?s=shamnesty — on the topic. I encourage your readers to check them out.
