Media Release / Position Statement
District congressional candidate Carl Mumpower
(R-Buncombe) has taken his Republican primary challengers to task for
failing to get behind Congressman Heath Shuler's (D-Swain) illegal
immigration initiative. "That 80% of the Congressman's votes are in
support of Speaker Pelosi's liberal agenda does not distract from what
I view as a principled and courageous effort to fight back against an
out of control illegal immigration problem across the nation.", said
Mumpower. "Pessimistic predictions on the Congressman's ability to
bring his illegal immigration bill to passage say more about sour
grapes over being beat to the punch by Shuler's management team than
the nonpartisan support this effort deserves." Shuler's bill targets
those who employ illegal immigrants and helps beef up border patrol and
country wide intervention efforts. "Employer support for illegal
immigrants is the greatest law breaking scheme in America's history -
this is a time for getting behind an authentic conservative action by
our elected Congressman."
