It’s amazing what political heat makes politicians do sometimes. Dreier used to be Mexico’s number one cheerleader in the Congress. But now ever since John & Ken’s political human sacrifice & the Congressman’s near political death, he can’t sponser enough pro enforcement/anti illegal immigration bills. Kudos to him for figuring out which constituency to represent. That must have been a bitter pill for him to swallow after all those years of being pro illegal immigration.
I had a chance to speak firsthand with Nacho Ramos’s father-in-law Joe Loya this weekend at the CRA Convention. These agents need to be pardoned ASAP.
