Amnesty Advocate Sees Martinez Nomination as Part of a "Perfect Storm"

Via Lou Dobbs Tonight, November 29, 2006:

SAUL SOLORZANO, CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER: I certainly believe that 100 days are plenty to have Congress act on the immigration issue. The First Amendment gives the right to petition the government. And I think that civil participation is important, and I think that people will be posed to go back and again ask for action.

WIAN: Solorzano says the perfect storm now exists with President Bush, Republican party chair Mel Martinez, and top Democratic lawmakers all favoring a path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens [emphasis added].

New Senate leader Harry Reid says an immigration bill will be among the first 10 introduced in the Senate. ...

WIAN: He [Reid] also says there will be no additional funding for the border fence bill signed by President Bush. Ironically, that bill was passed in part because of frustration with previous pro-amnesty protests.
