Did you see that most of 3.3 million spent last year on immigration lobbying was pro-comprehensive by sp.ints?
Question:
"The money spent persuading lawmakers also underscores the cost of doing business in Washington. But the stalemate in the last Congress shows that even expensive lobbying efforts by powerful players sometimes fall short. A separate analysis by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics found the number of organizations lobbying on immigration climbed steadily over the past several years, reaching a peak of 302 in 2005, the last year for which the group had complete statistics.
"The ramifications, if (the Senate bill) passed, would be significant," said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics. "It's not surprising that there was a final push and big bucks behind that. Particularly for the business community, it would most certainly impact their bottom line. (Lobbying) might be arguably a small price of doing business to get the results they want."
Answer:
Yes, the corruption is called "lobbying". Cute, hu? Money screams in the US. Even if it is in favor of something illegal, its OK. We need to change our political system so that the people have a voice, not the money. It's supposed to be a country "by the people, and for the people".
we need the border fence up. if they can't come in legally we don't need them.
unfortunately most of the radicals (LULAC, ACLU) lobbying for amnesty receive huge grants from our government paid for by our tax dollars...what's wrong with this picture?
yes. We have the best government that our money can buy. Sad.
Looks like they could of feed all the people in Mexico on that amount for years
