Hat tip to Rum, Romanism and Rebellion for pointing out a delightful exchange on Twitter between State Representative Ruben Gallego and State Senator Frank Antenori on Thursday:

@RubenGallego: If you know of anyone that is lookin for seasonal employment, please have them come to my job fair.

@FrankAntenori: Ruben, Don’t forget to use e-verify!

@RubenGallego: thanks for the tip. You should apply for a job since Gabby will stop you from having a job as a congressman.

@FrankAntenori: I look forward to her announcing she’s seeking re-election. When’s the press conference?

@RubenGallego: coincidentally same day you drop out.

@FrankAntenori: Well I guess we’ll just have to see if the hype and bluster rings true.

Way to go, Frank. I can’t even say how much I’m looking forward to your campaign.

The editor of the Tucson Weekly. I have no idea how I got here.

  1. As illegal foreign workers leave, owing to the E-Verify system being used by hundreds of thousands of honest business owners, it’s not surprisingly those jobs are being rapidly refilled by low income, blue and white collar unemployed Americans. Read the internet news of reports of lightening raids by ICE, which explains the sudden emergence of for ‘hire’ signs, as factories, plants, stores and construction are looking for legal job seekers. This is being persistently illustrated all throughout America, from the school janitor, roofers, manufacturing and across the occupational workforce. President Obama started a sound policy of deportations, but with the advisement from his Department of Justice attachment, there anti-America worker Liberal doctrines are now being observed through their attacks on different states. Currently the Democratic left is using an iron gauntlet against states, which will not be trodden down by judges and the courts.

    Allowing foreign aliens to squat in this sovereign nation permanently without hindrance, is not what our law abiding country believes should happen. Obama’s administration has been corrupted by his Liberal czars such as Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, and Janet Napolitano and very strongly by Sen. Harry Reid, who nearly crippled E-Verify some years back. Since the stronger reappearance of E-Verify, Reid, and his cynic politicians has tried to weaken its influence, with the persistence of special interest lobbyists and radical open border organizations.

    We must consider the consequences of not implementing the injection of the Lama Smith E-Verify program, the Legal Workforce Act, today and in the future. If the American people don’t demand Mandatory E-Verify, millions more people from South of our border and by international flights, will take advantage of us. The E-Verify program is a simple, an easy operational program that anybody can operate from a computer. But there are many lies spewing from those who are gaining much profit by the dismantling of this application. Foreign nationals will arrive in droves eating away at our failing educational system, health care and every form of Medicaid and welfare assistance. Over 100 billion dollars annually are already spent on the 20 million and more already here, but this is not a static dollar figure; it is rising constantly? Ask the officials in Los Angeles County, California and Clarke County, Nevada of how much is bled from their diluted welfare systems. Most states are in an unparalleled financial mess, from these entitlement programs.

    Call the Washington switchboard today and request the phone numbers of the House Ways and Means Committee on E-Verify Immigration program at 202-224-3121 insisting they vote for E-Verify the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ (H.R. 2885 bill.) You can also go to NumbersUSA website and be apprised of the current immigration situation, costs and rhetoric from the Liberal politicians and the unceasing pressure of the progressives and extremists. At the NumbersUSA site they have access to a free faxing system, so you can exclusively contact the reluctant lawmakers against E-Verify. In most cases it’s about money, greed and power. Mandatory E-Verify is a federal program, which nobody can get a waiver from once voted on. As Americans we can make a massive difference, on who comes to this country? People with high level degrees in technology, science and math, we should be given priority. Others with financial capital to invest should also receive priority visas.

    Those who are looking for a handout, arriving from any country in the world should not be admitted. Since the 1986 Immigration mass amnesty, we have been importing poverty that is a fiscal nightmare for all of us. We also need field and agricultural worker, but not until the real double layer fence covers every inch of our border with Mexico and come here with legal authority, so they can be tracked. We need more ‘boots on the ground’ whether border agents of a permanent military presence, to interdict criminal from across our poorly constructed border barrier.

    It’s evident to millions of Americans that the left side will be blinded, intentionally or not in the next election for President. Therefore, we need to scrutinize the integrity of our federal voting system, which must be overseen in every constituency. Absentee ballots are especially open to abuse and every effort must be accomplished to stop voter fraud and illegal aliens registering to vote. Violating our most sacred voting rights shows that the Democratic Party will stoop to any level, to gain the power by ignoring groups as ACORN and other innocuous new voter canvassing groups hunting for registration signatures; whether a new citizen or not?

  2. i hope gabby just bows out gracefully. it’s about time someone represents the electorate in her district. i mean really, how long should we go on without representation? 1 year? 2 years? It’s a shame what heppened to her, but come on, enough already. I’m surprized it has been made a bigger issue. She doesn’t even live here for gods sake. So it looks like it will have to be a republican to run against her if she wont step down, since there’s not a dem with enough back bone to step up. So go for it Frank, or anyone who steps up to represent us. Viva Tucson!

  3. Frank Antenori:

    “Friend of Taxpayer” award
    Thank you Frank!!!

  4. I, too, was getting pretty frustrated not having Gabby’s voice in Congress–but the word today is that she’ll be back soon and looking forward to re-election. Antenori’s my State Senator, but I’ve never voted for him and never will. He’s never voted for the majority in this district, and sides with mean-spirited Pearce and Brewer. I look forward to ousting him as soon as possible.
