Tsongas’ take on Illegal Immigation … “Whatever” …!

Here’s more on the Ogonowski situation, from a concerned reader:

“I don’t know how much talk radio you listen to however Niki finally showed her true colors without her Washington advisors at her side. Niki labeled illegal immigrants as ‘Undocumented workers’ or ‘Family members….or whatever.’ (“Nightside with Dan Rae,” WBZ-Radio, 10/11/07) One of the main issues Ogonowski has been running his campaign on is illegal immigration, and finally Tsongas has created a clear distinction between the two candidates for the voters – she’s just ‘whatever.’

 

 

“I doubt the voters in Massachusetts will appreciate a valley girl as their legislator. Massachusetts’ voters and the United States Congress does not deserve another candidate who will shy away from real issues like illegal immigration and attempt to redefine these people as ‘Undocumented workers,’ they deserve Jim Ogonowski. She also believes these ‘Family members’ deserve in-state tuition, as she alleges ‘They came here unintentionally.’ (5th District Congressional Debate, NECN, 10/05/07) Perhaps Tsongas should be running on the same ticket as New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, as she ‘Supports driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants and ‘path to citizenship’ for illegal immigrants.’ (Laura Crimaldi, ‘5th District Candidates All Fired Up,’ The Boston Herald, 10/14/07)

 

 

“Perhaps this is what Tsongas is really like without her suave Washington advisors – not a pretty image. Ogonowski is a real candidate who is worried about real issues. Merely calling these illegal immigrants “Family members” or “whatever” will not help solve one of this countries greatest domestic policy issues. A vote for Ogonowski is a vote for change and new ideas; whereas a vote for Tsongas is a vote for her calculating Washington DC advisors – take your pick.”
