Burns' Big Mouth?
Fox News
Incumbent Republican Sen. Conrad Burns is already in some political trouble in his Montana re-election fight and may be in some more with his conservative base.
Burns referred to his house painter as a "nice little Guatemalan man" and joked that one of his maintenance employees has refused to show his green card.
Burns has made illegal immigration a central issue in his campaign and a spokesman insists the workers are legal residents.
But conservative group The American Cause says, "A U.S. senator hiring illegal immigrants is not a joke," while a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform calls the senator's mockery "a pretty good indication of why we have 12 million people breaking the law."
