Altschuler's Response To Bishop's Immigration Announcement

Middle Island, June 18, 2012 – Responding to a stunning press release issued this afternoon by incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop urging illegal immigrants to contact his office so he can expedite them taking advantage of President Obama’s unilateral executive order effectively granting them amnesty, self-made businessman and Republican challenger Randy Altschuler said the move demonstrated Bishop’s misplaced priorities and complete lack of focus on creating jobs and improving Long Island’s devastated economy.

Altschuler said that in these tough economic times, Tim Bishop’s priority is assigning a taxpayer funded caseworker to expedite President Obama’s backdoor amnesty program.  In contrast, Altschuler’s 10-Point Jobs Plan (www.Randy2012.com/jobsplan) calls for a caseworker in his future office solely focused on bringing new jobs back to Suffolk County.

“Congressman Bishop’s announcement today is a slap in the face to the more than 30,000 Long Islanders who have lost their jobs since he took office nearly ten years ago,” said Altschuler.  “While his constituents are in the midst of a deep and sustained economic crisis, Tim Bishop is using taxpayer-funded employees in his office to implement President Obama’s unilateral, backdoor amnesty program for illegal immigrants.  This announcement is proof that Congressman Bishop’s head is completely buried in the sand when it comes to our dismal economy and lack of jobs here in Suffolk County.  He is so out-of-touch, it’s frightening.”
