Linda Chavez misleads: doesn't support true "market-based" immigration; "progressive-baits" enforcement supporters - 02/26/10

Linda Chavez - among other things a director of low-wage employers Pilgrims Pride and ABM - offers the misleading "Progressives and Immigration Reform" (link). The part where she tries to tar those who support immigration enforcement as heirs to the progressive movement appears to be a cheap attempt to glom onto Glenn Beck's crusade against that same movement:

Linda Chavez needs your help to fight WaPo expose of her PAC's finances! - 08/13/07

... Post looks into the finances of Linda Chavez' empire in "In Fundraising's Murky Corners" (link). As a reliable supporter of massive immigration, it's a bit odd that they'd turn on her, but perhaps the fact that she's a conservative swayed them towards publishing it.

Jennifer Steinhauer/NYT frets massive illegal alien amnesty may have hurt GOP with Latinos - 07/01/07

Concern troll/"reporter" Jennifer Steinhauer of the New York Times offers "After Bill's Fall, G.O.P. May Pay in Latino Votes". It's highly similar to and just as wrong as other such articles and pronouncements from Dick Morris and others.

From this: Ward Connerly, Chairman of the American Civil Rights Institute, along with 25 national and local leaders in the movement to end race preferences, signed an open letter for publication in the Washington Times calling on Congress to exempt immigrants that might be naturalized by the immigration legislation currently before the United States Senate from receiving preferences based on race...

Linda Chavez: opposition to amnesy is just about racism, xenophobia - 05/25/07

Linda Chavez - recently mentioned here playing the race card in the case of the Fort Dix Six - just got back from the 99 Cents store with a bag full of cards and threw all of them - together with whatever small amount of credibility she had remaining - on the table: Some people just don't like Mexicans -- or anyone else from south of the border.

Sanctuary policies: Fort Dix Six arrested multiple times - 05/11/07

Not only were three of the "Fort Dix Six" illegal aliens, but they had multiple arrests and sanctuary policies - or lack of DHS funding combined with unwillingness to deport people - may have played a role in allowing them to remain here.

Meme: Graf, Hayworth losses = support for "comprehensive immigration reform" - 11/09/06

As regular readers know, illegal immigration supporters will go to any depth to promote amnesty and similar schemes. One meme you can expect to hear over the coming months is that the recent losses by Randy Graf and J.D. Hayworth in Arizona mean that voters want "comprehensive immigration reform". The quickest example of how that's wrong is presented by the fact that no less than four anti-...

"Comprehensivly Wrong" (reply to WSJ open borders letter) - 07/29/06

In June, 41 prominent conservatives released an open letter calling for "enforcement first". A couple weeks ago, 33 "conservatives" published a reply in the WSJ. Now, here's the response: ...Unfortunately, the letter's principal argument rests on the false premise that the Senate bill strengthens enforcement.

"Linda Chavez Cleans Up With Cheap Labor" - 01/08/06

... 2002 comes this column about Linda Chavez. The column points out that she's a director of ABM Industries, Inc. (According to her bio, she still is). ABM is a very large janitorial firm. Apparently they are or were very stringent about checking the legal status of their workers, and good for them. However, the column wonders whether that helps explain in part why she is more or less a cheap labor...

Linda Chavez' "ethno-centric rant" - 10/08/05

Remember the Linda Chavez column where she supported illegal aliens taking Katrina rebuilding jobs? A letter to the editor of the Daily Republic in Northern California responds to her article: [Chavez] speculated that the reason we don't see sob stories about the 200,000 Hispanics from New Orleans is that they had their act together so much better than other minorities.

Linda Chavez offers "Hispanics and Hurricane Katrina". She was watching TV and looking for others of her race: ...Most are immigrants -- often illegal -- from Honduras and Mexico. Then, just when I thought they were nowhere to be found, I spotted a few Hispanic men in the television footage this week of crews cleaning up the debris...

It's not their fault - 12/17/04

Helmet-haired demi-MILF Linda Chavez provides this bit of surreality: ...Whether we care to admit it or not, most of us benefit from the services of illegal aliens, even if indirectly, and the law that ensnarled Kerik has turned many good people into scofflaws... ...I have special reason to be concerned.
