A Cornyn campaign ad says John is tight fisted with taxpayer $$$. Also John fights Obama every day.

Has accepted the Pilgrim money. Now where do you suppose he really stood then on immigration enforcement?

 

Pilgrim in 2000 and 2001 gave $50,000 to then-Texas Attorney General Cornyn. During Cornyn’s 2002 run for U.S. Senate, Pilgrim and his poultry company gave $210,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which helped finance attack ads against Cornyn’s Democratic opponent. Pilgrim and one of his sons last year gave $4,600 to Cornyn’s re-election campaign. July 3, 2008

 

 

And then there's the the Houston home builder, Bob Perry, the biggest individual campaign donor to the republicans.............

 

The national debate over illegal immigration has become so polarized that it’s hard to remember how close the country came to making genuine progress on the issue only a few short years ago. In 2006 Bob Perry, Bo Pilgrim, and a host of other industry leaders and prominent Republicans from Texas and around the nation lined up behind President George W. Bush’s effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform in Washington. “Neither the immigrants here today nor those we will need in the future should have to live in the shadows,” read a Dallas Morning News opinion piece signed by Perry and his fellow Republicans. “These are good people with good values doing work that we need done, reaching for the American Dream and helping make it a reality for all.” Bush’s proposal had something for everyone: increased border security for conservatives, a path to citizenship for undocumented workers already here, and an assurance of a steady labor supply for employers. Karl Rove toured the country to gin up support for the package, stopping in, among other places, Tyler, where he was joined by U.S. senator John Cornyn and several of the city’s largest employers, who endorsed the bill.
