Their vote to reward corrupt agribusinesses was two weeks ago. But we have only begun to shine the spotlight on the U.S. Representatives who voted YES on the H.R. 1603 amnesty for those corporate lawbreakers.
Joe Biden, along with Bernie Sanders, unveiled the Democratic Party's "unity plan" this week, aimed at uniting the two major factions in the Party -- the moderates and the progressives.
Bob Good -- who filled out NumbersUSA's candidate survey and promised to be a True Reformer on 12 top immigration goals -- has unseated incumbent Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman at the Party's primary convention.

Susan F. Martin, professor emerita at Georgetown University and former staff member of the Jordan Commission, wrote a piece last week attacking President Trump for a letter the White House put out praising Jordan's work.

President Trump is a political lightening rod, no doubt, even more so than other modern Presidents, but in attacking him Martin misrepresented Barbara Jordan's views on immigration and the recommendations of the Jordan Commission.
The immigration section of the 2016 Democrat Platform, "Fixing our Broken Immigration System", calls for lifetime work permits for illegal aliens, continued support for Pres. Obama's executive amnesties, extra protections of Unaccompanied Alien Children from Central America, and rewards for illegal aliens, including access to the healthcare exchanges. The Party's platform, approved on Monday, does, however, call for "reasonable limits" on legal immigration.
