Sen. Lamar Alexander Defends His Vote for Amnesty Bill

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) continues to try to justify his vote for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty/immigration increase bill, trying to hold on to his seat in the face of a primary challenge by Joe Carr, a state representative, who strongly opposes amnesty and increases in immigrant and guest worker admissions.  “We have amnesty today,” said Alexander.  “Turning your head while 11 million people are already here illegally is perpetual amnesty.”

Alexander was one of only 14 Republicans to vote with Democrats to pass the amnesty bill last year.

Carr has hit Alexander for working for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other cheap labor interests, rather than defending the jobs of Americans.
