New Senator from New York pro-gun, anti-bailout -- and anti-amnesty

We knew about the first two but her border enforcement cred caught me off guard. You ready for this? Quote:

In Congress, Congresswoman Gillibrand has been a firm opponent of any proposal that would give amnesty to illegal aliens. The federal government must provide the necessary resources to secure our borders, which is critical for America’s economic and national security. She strongly supports legislation that would significantly increase the number of border patrol agents and place sophisticated technology along the Southern border to catch human and drug smugglers.

Congresswoman Gillibrand authored and passed an amendment that will prevent employers who have hired illegal aliens from receiving federal contracts.

In addition, Congresswoman Gillibrand believes English should be made the official language of the United States and she opposes providing non-emergency taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens. As a Member of the Agriculture Committee, she has advocated for a review of the current H-2A visa system, so that farmers will have access to legal workers when they cannot find Americans to fill their labor needs.

Pelosi and the rest of the New York congressional delegation evidently hate her, too. Dude, sign me up.

The bad news? She’s sure to get a serious challenge in the primary next year from the left, fueled by nutroots money and amnesty-shill rhetoric like this. Donate early and often. Exit question: Who could have guessed that KP would become only our second-favorite Democrat named Kirsten?

Update: Just to put this in perspective for you, on two of the three aforementioned issues, she’s to the right of Sarah Palin.
