About the Foreign Cash in the Chamber's Campaign Stash
The Democratic Party is spending nearly 100 million dollars raised in part from foreign contributions to help elect more immigration reform minded men and women to Congress.

If you happen to be a conservative of the Grand Old tea Party variety, how does such startling "amnesty" related news make you feel?

Suspicious? Fearful? Angry? Perhaps even more xenophobic than usual?

Each of those emotional responses would be expected from tea partiers had the Democratic Party actually taken this foreign money -- it has not.

The "U.S." Chamber of Commerce however, is a different story entirely.
