Press Release/Position Statement
-From the desk of the Candidate-
Tuesday, January 8 , 2008
What's the difference between a crack dealer, a
pimp, and a greedy businessman that hires illegal aliens? Nothing, according to
Carl Mumpower, 11th District Republican candidate for Congress.
Mumpower stated Tuesday that in significant
ways, businessmen who hire illegals are, in fact, doing more harm to society than
some of our worst criminals. "These people take advantage of a cheap labor
pool which, in turn, kills the need to motivate, train, and uplift our own
citizens," commented Mumpower. "Add to that all the hidden costs to
our schools, hospitals, and police departments, and the extra financial burdens
leave us increasingly unable to help our own."
Calling the illegal immigration situation the
greatest "state-sponsored law-breaking scheme" in American history,
Mumpower's indictment extends to a federal government that has been unwilling
to deal with what has become the "political football" of the new
century. "And Congress continually fumbles the ball for fear that will
cost them votes," Mumpower continued. "We are demonizing illegal
aliens...when the real guilt lies with the people who employ them. It's the
illegal jobs that fuel the illegal immigration: find these companies and punish
them severely. Make it unprofitable to hire illegal aliens and the migration
will reverse itself," he said.
