The Oklahoman

Recently, Bay Buchanan, head of Team America, an organization at the forefront of stopping the Mexican invasion of illegal Mexicans, spoke in Oklahoma City. She was asked why our politicians don't seem to want to protect our country from this invasion. According to Buchanan, the answer is that when a fund-raising dinner with corporate heads is held, as much as $25 million can be raised! Of course, the motivation of these corporate heads is that they want cheap, illegal labor.

Knowing that the U.S. won't enforce its own laws, Mexicans put their lives in danger so that these members of Congress will have ready access to campaign cash. It's not surprising that with so much money to buy expensive TV and radio ads, most of them get re-elected again and again. Thank goodness for Oklahoma's U.S. senators, Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, who've consistently voted to keep illegals out of this country. Too bad senators from other states don't have the same high integrity.
