Selective Reporting should be left to the Opinion Blogs. More and more, the Main Media is slanting facts or not giving the entire story.
Take the Post today on its editorial by VerSteeg, "Republicans who dare to dream" where he reports that 8 Republicans voted FOR the House Dream Act. He failed to mention that 38 Democrats voted AGAINST the Dream Act. He did say that three of them who voted for the Dream are from Florida and are Cuban-Americans. Because they have "favored status" does not forgive them for their vote. Because they are immigrants, they clearly have lined themselves with all immigrants, illegal or not.
Lincoln Diaz-Balart represents District 21 (Broward/Miami Dade--small portion of northern Miami along with several of Miami's northeastern suburbs). He stepped down from running again and Mario, his brother has been elected to replace him in Dist 21.
Mario Diaz-Balart, brother of Lincoln represents District 25 (Miami/Dade, Monroe & Collier) His Aunt was the first wife of Fidel Castro. Since he has been a Congressman, he has missed 50% of the votes and has voted with the Republican Party 89.7% of the time. He now will be the new Congressman for District 21.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen represents District 18 (Miami/Dade & Monroe)
Anh Cao (LA – 2) A Republican who really is a Democrat.
Michael Castle (DE – 1) Ran for Republican Senate primary and was defeated by Christine O'Donnell
Charles Djou (HI – 1) Just lost the general election in Hawaii
Vernon Ehlers (MI – 3) Last hurrah--he did not run for another term that ends January 3, 2011.
Bob Inglis (SC – 4) A strong believer in global warming science; he was just defeated by an endorsed T-Party candidate and staunch conservative, Trey Gowdy. He blamed Sarah Palin for destroying the credibility of the GOP.
It is sad that people who broke our laws by crossing our borders came here with or had children. This does not excuse the criminal act and the American citizen should not be paying for services for illegals or justifying their actions. Elected officials such as the above (many lame-ducks) have a lot of nerve speaking for the American citizen who, by every poll imaginable, is against illegal immigration but have empathy for these "children."
Hopefully, this will fail in the Senate and the government will come up with some sort of Immigration Reform that makes sense. The generosity of the American people can only go so far and should be relegated to Americans, not illegals.
