Lampson... just a bad Oyster

Great article here from PoliGazette about why we can't afford to leave Slick Nick "suck up for a vote" Lampson in office. This time, he's planting a wet one on the Texas oyster industry through extension of H-2B visas which allows businesses to hire foreign workers when U.S. workers can’t be found.

Who is Lampson trying to help? This guy: Clifford Hillman, owner of Hillman Shrimp & Oyster Co, who in January pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge of conspiring to commit fraud in relation to hiring undocumented workers for a period before June 2004.

As PoliGazette points out:

Actually, oysters are a niche luxury item of no practical importance whatever. But Lampson, who took over Tom Delay’s seat after he resigned amid scandal, is willing to bend a few immigration rules to help the industry.

We don't need another liberal in Congress unconcerned about illegal immigration in Texas. It's actions like these that reveal Lampson's true stripes.
