Thursday on MSNBC's "José Díaz-Balart," Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said President Barack Obama should use an executive order and grant amnesty to an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States because it will "quell some of the unrest" caused by "racial overtones" of anti immigration rhetoric. He said, "Latinos that are fourth, fifth generation -- they see this as a civil rights issue."
Grijalva said Obama's amnesty, "Will quell some of the unrest that we are seeing in our communities and the racial overtones that continue to build around this issue."
He explained, "The issue of immigration that for a while was sanitized. We just talked about immigration as a federal policy that needed to be reformed. What has happened is that more and more of the rhetoric has racial undertones and overtones and in many parts of our community, for those people of color, in particular, latinos that are fourth, fifth generation, they see this as a civil rights issue in terms of who is being demeaned and demonized by the Steve Kings of the world on the air.

So if I kick and scream enough I get what I want TOO?
to Quell Latino Racial Unrest ? Is that like Pick elephants ?
If the welfare state didn’t exist - and if they US Government wasn’t supported by debt and Fed money-printing - this problem would not exist.
Congressman from Yuma. Was almost beaten in 2010 by a female rocket scientist Republican - Ruth McClung
How about if the illegal welfare leaches just leave? That should ease their unrest. Raul Grijalva is a scumbag turd.
So either amnesty is granted or there will be racial violence from the Latinos?This threat comes from an elected member of Congress.Treason anyone?
What “Latino Racial Unrest”?
If Obama “grants amnesty” - which is beyond his power to do so - you’ll get your unrest.
Do it or risk some “unrest”? In other circumstances that would be called extortion.
Also from Tucson. Ruth came close. However Grijalva will now have the AZ CD3 seat for life due to redistricting.
Yes, exactly. However, your representative enjoys the perks of Washington and says nothing. The GOPe says nothing.
You, as well as I, have no representation.
Bulls** As one of those 4th 5th and older generation Latinos, I can say that we see this as ILLEGALS coming over here, send them home NOW-they broke the law to get here, and are not entitled to civil rights or other privileges that American Citizens enjoy-Grijalva is an idiot and always has been...
That’s a great reason. /sarc
Here is a message for our visitors: you no like it here or you not here legally, carry your ass back to where you came from.
To our enemy in the Dem side of the aisle, if you want to harbor these blook suckers in your home, feel free to do so but don’t bother me to do it as I have not the inclination nor the money to do so on my dime or my tax money.
Extortion much?
Nope. Raul goes up against Gabriela Saucedo Mercer in November. God willing he’s sent packing.
