Hypocrisy watch: Joe "You lie!" Wilson kept illegal immigrant in US

By GottaLaff

How'd I miss this one? If we've posted this already, indulge me. Seems Anti-Illegal Immigration Guy has been up to some hypocritical mischief:

Wilson may have a conflict of interest, however. Two months before he heckled Obama, he introduced legislation to keep Sainey Fatty, an illegal immigrant from Gambia, in the country. Fatty came to the U.S. for school in the early ’90s and lived here for seven years while under a deportation order, according to his friend Bill Cook’s blog.

In his bill, Wilson asks Congress to forgive Fatty’s immigration woes, drop the deportation order against Fatty and allow him to remain in the country legally.

What a big, mushy, soft heart he has! What a mensch. I'm starting to tear right up.

Wilson’s communications director Ryan Murphy told Raw Story in an e-mail that “Congressman Wilson does not support illegal immigrants getting access to a government taxpayer funded health insurance program.” He did not respond to questions about what motivated Wilson to keep Fatty in the country or whether Wilson supports Fatty’s ability to receive medical care in the U.S.

Of course not. That would underscore what a big Fatty hypocrite he is.

[...] Fatty’s friend Cook says in his blog that Fatty is allegedly a Christian convert who abandoned his Muslim roots.

Oh, okay, I see. He's nothing like President Muslim Hussein Obama, then. So I bet Joe the Hypocrite would never shout "You lie!" at Christain Convert No Longer Muslim Fatty.

Speaking of freedoms:

Cook did not respond to Raw Story’s request for comments, and restricted the public’s ability to view his blog after Raw Story left a voice-mail message at his office.

Is it me, or is Lindsey Graham in every story we do here?

After South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham followed Wilson’s lead, Fatty gets to stay in the U.S. for at least the next 15 months. Graham introduced legislation similar to Wilson’s in the Senate, which essentially gives Fatty an automatic stay on the deportation order to give the Senate time to act on Graham’s bill. [...]

“By the grace of God, Fatty has been granted a stay on his deportation,” his friend Cook’s blog reported last month. “…Congressman Wilson and others reached out to Senators DeMint and Graham, who were able to secure a temporary stay–word reached Fatty less than 30 minutes before his flight out of the U.S. was slated to leave today. Praise God for His kindness!”

Oh man, wow! That's GREAT! Now that Fatty gets to hang out in America, he can get better health care!

Oh.

Never mind.
