Tom DeLay tells College Republicans that abortion, illegal immigration are linked

[meegbear]

Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay told a gathering of College Republicans that a link exists between legal abortion and illegal immigration in America. The remarks were included in a video produced by writer Max Blumenthal and posted at The Huffington Post.

"I contend (abortion) affects you in immigration," DeLay told the Washington-area gathering. "If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn't need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today. Think about it."

Blumenthal was later apparently forcibly escorted out of the conference by College Republican staff.

DeLay is currently under indictment for money laundering and conspiracy charges in Texas.

7. No tom, there would be 40 million more people who would not do the job

immigrants do for the salaries they receive (salaries offered by bush supporters.)

And what greater justification for abortion then the likes of young republicans and old ones as well.

And why aren't young republicans harvesting produce tom instead of listening to a man with no morals, no integrity and will soon be in jail?

9. I'd put this the other way round.

While it's emphatically *not* something that should be used as an argument for abortion rights - nothing except the personal circumstances should be - the fact that abortion means that the country can accept more immigrants is a fringe benefit of legalised abortion.
