Norquist Hired Illegal Immigrant.

There is a saying about people in glass houses not throwing stones. The Republican Party has put themselves on such a high platform over the years, it’s no wonder the entire thing is crumbling down around them. The latest from their conservative icon:

A former California Republican Party official who resigned last year in a controversy over his immigration status had no valid visa or work permit during his high-profile career as a Washington lobbyist for conservative icon Grover Norquist, newly filed court records show.

Michael Kamburowski, an Australian citizen who served briefly as chief operating officer of the state GOP, worked from 1995 to 2000 as a vice president of Americans for Tax Reform in Washington, D.C., an organization headed by Norquist – an architect of modern conservatism who has advised President Bush and top GOP political leaders.

For Norquist, Kamburowski lobbied Congress on dozens of issues, including immigration reform, according to his resume. He also directed the Norquist organization’s Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, an effort to rename public buildings to honor the former president.

So he advised Bush, was a head of the state GOP in California and lobbied for immigration reform. I expect the wingnuts to circle the wagons around Grover on this, which will raise the question about the immigration reform. Exactly which immigration did he want to reform? This could have some serious racial implications.
