Cannon gathers an interesting array of enemies
An outspoken advocate of this immigration policy, Cannon has garnered an interesting array of enemies. Ultraconservative organizations are coordinating with left-wing environmental and zero population groups to defeat the legislation and its congressional supporters. Their arguments range from the bizarre to the downright racist. Many of the zealots claim that too many immigrants are responsible for the following: reduction of open space, lowering of average wages, closure of medical facilities, traffic gridlock, destroying small cities, preventing cultural assimilation and (my favorite) limiting individual liberties. (It is amusing that Utah County is home to many of these fanatics, since any overpopulation problems in that area are a direct result of Third World birthrates among Caucasian Provo/Orem residents in the 1980s and early 1990s.) Their Web sites are dedicated to trashing Cannon as "treacherous," "public enemy No. 1" and a "Congressmenace." The congressman is expending thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend himself against FEC investigations prompted by accusations made from anti-immigration activists.
