rssConservative Immigration Group Calls for Whitman’s Arrest

California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman lost the support — and then some — of conservative group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC after allegations surfaced that she employed an undocumented housekeeper for nine years. But the pro-enforcement group isn’t just calling for her to lose the election: They want her arrested.
Here’s part of their press release:
ALIPAC is asking Immigration and Customs Enforcement to arrest and charge both Whitman and Diaz for numerous immigration and employment law violations. [...]
Americans curious about Meg Whitman’s support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty (CIRA) that would lift current laws and penalties for both illegal aliens and their employers now know why. If CIRA were to pass, exploitative employers like Whitman would escape the existing penalties under US law which have a nine year statute of limitations.
The American public has indicated in numerous scientific polls that well over 80% of Americans want employers like Meg Whitman heavily fined. Over 50% want the employers of illegals, like Whitman, jailed.
ALIPAC isn’t putting all the blame on Whitman: they mocked her former housekeeper for crying during a press conference yesterday and said she should also be arrested.
Whitman isn’t the most popular California candidate among the anti-illegal immigration set, particularly after she softened her immigration rhetoric to appeal to Latino voters. But although she has been less gung-ho about harsh enforcement measures such as Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law, NumbersUSA, which pushes for lower immigration numbers, lists Whitman as supportive of barring driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants and taking away funding from “sanctuary cities.” Both, it should be noted, are issues that rights groups say are more about public safety than enforcement.
But the “true reformer” in the race, for Californians who want tough immigration enforcement, is Tea Party candidate Chelene Nightingale, according to NumbersUSA. Nightingale won over Tea Partiers (and not much of anyone else) with hard-line stances against “anchor babies” and government services for illegal immigrants.
Still, it’s worth noting that Whitman could face conservative backlash with her past employment of an undocumented worker. While Latinos may turn on her for her for allegedly mistreating an employee, the ire of ALIPAC shows conservatives won’t take kindly to the story either.

Please remove your false comments about ALIPAC supporting Whitman, withdrawing support for Whitman, or trying to cost her the race. ALIPAC is a Federal PAC and it would be a violation of Federal law for us to do any of those things. You should not use your position to accuse us falsely of violating Federal laws when we have never supported or opposed the candidacy of Meg Whitman.

Whether Meg or Jerry win the race, it won't make a difference. The state legislature won't allow them to do the kind of fiscal and social reform California wants and needs. The best solution to this mess is to drive the state off the cliff and then pick up the pieces. Only then will voters get serious about voting for serious minded reformers. Until then, the state will continue to see more of the same results from Sacramento.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF GLENN BECK
GLENN BECK gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.
He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal UNION WORKERS fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now GLENN BECK gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. GLENN BECK's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
GLENN BECK takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
GLENN BECK dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree-hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
GLENN BECK begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal UNION MEMBERS fought and died for these working standards.
GLENN BECK's employer pays these standards because GLENN BECK's employer doesn't want his employees to call “the union”.
If GLENN BECK is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noon time, GLENN BECK needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills.
GLENN BECK's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC and FDIC because some liberal wanted to protect GLENN BECK's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the 1929 economic depression.
GLENN BECK has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that GLENN BECK and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
GLENN BECK is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dad's; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his UNION PENSION because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so GLENN BECK wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good (He doesn't tell GLENN BECK that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit GLENN BECK enjoys throughout his day).
GLENN BECK agrees, “We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.”

The problem Mega-RINO is facing are a direct result of the policies to collaborate with the illegal alien invaders. By her own admission thare is no difference between her and Moonbeam.
