Schumer predicts mass demonstrations if House blocks path to citizenship By Alexander Bolton - 06/23/13 10:00 AM ET
A senior Democratic senator predicted Sunday there could be massive demonstrations in Washington if House Republicans try to block a bill to grant legal status to millions of immigrants.
Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the lead Democratic sponsor of the Senate immigration reform bill, said House Republicans would likely spark massive civil rights rallies if they try to quash measures to create a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.
“This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement. I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship — if there’s no path to citizenship, there’s not a bill — but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.
Schumer has counted about 67 votes for the Senate immigration bill and believes close to 70 will support final passage later this week.
“I do believe that having a significant number of Republicans will change the dynamic in the House. Individual Congress members from red districts, if they see their senators voted for it and they decide to do the right thing, there will be huge pressure on [Speaker John] Boehner [R-Ohio] not to block immigration reform,” said Schumer.
Schumer predicted that Boehner will have to bring legislation very similar to the Senate bill to the House floor, even if a majority of his conference would not support it.
“He will have no choice as the pressure mounts over the summer,” Schumer added.
He said Boehner would have to abandon the so-called Hastert Rule and bring legislation granting legal status to millions of illegal immigrants even if less than half of the House GOP conference is willing to vote for it.
Round ‘em up, ship ‘em back.
If the people of New Yarkansas had any brains they’d march on Scmuckie’s palace and tar and feather his putrid arse.
His staff is working with LaRaza as we speak.
“Nice country you got there. Wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to it...”
Is he just dreaming or is that a threat?
Hell, the way they have things set up now, everyone one of us is committing at least one crime.
Schumer is going to give a physics demonstration? That should be interesting. He could just show everyone that mass of crap in his head he calls a brain.
Schumer’s wishful thinking!
No, just fading ones who are too fearful of defending their national sovereignty.
I’m sure thats probably true. Chuckie will be leading the march.
There should be a mass demonstration .... with tar and feathers for the Congresscritters .... if they DO pass the bill.
Schumer’s having another of his wet dreams again.
This is dearly what he WISHES would happen, with him
and his cohorts being the ONLY ONES that could save us
from the dreaded “demonstrations”. Well, if they happen, they happen-—we’ll survive, and things will be every-so-slightly more polarized, so it’s a win-win for him.
Immigration laws are written by countries to benefit the country not the immigrant.
Don’t let the tail wag the dog.
There will be even more massive demonstrations if the House does not block amnesty.
The saddest part about this .....
.....once again the liberal scum is playing an issue PERFECTLY.
Look at who REALLY suffers if this bill passes: unions.
Look at who the people pushing this bill largely have the support of: unions.
So little chuckie and the other liberal scumbags get to earn points for minorities for supporting the bill, all the while knowing the Republicans will kill it. They get to run around on television mouthing off like this, all the while knowing the Republicans will save them from screwing their union supporters.
If there were any strategist left in the Republican party, they’d have people all over the news right now saying, “well I guess we lost. Kind of funny, unions never supported us, yet we were the ones trying to save their jobs. Oh well, we give up.”
Then sit back and watch the fun!
Homeland Security is worth every penny isn’t it?
“A senior Democratic senator predicted Sunday there could be massive demonstrations in Washington if House Republicans try to block a bill to grant legal status to millions of immigrants.”
Ahh, so that’s what a dog whistle is.
