Orwellian fun via RCP. You trust a guy who openly admits his only loyalty is to the immigrant community to do what’s best for the country at large, don’t you?
The fireworks come in the last minute although I’ll be candid and confess I don’t really understand what the point of disagreement is. Hannity says we should secure the border; Gutierrez replies that securing the border won’t stop ISIS operatives, who are more likely to enter the U.S. through airports than by sneaking across from Mexico. (Jihadis with British or, of course, American passports wouldn’t even need visas.) Could be, says Hannity, but then why not do both? Secure the border and take extra precautions in screening flights. Obviously you’d want to block terrorists from every possible route into the country. To which Gutierrez says … nothing, really. The real reason he opposes a border security bill, of course, is because that’s the left’s main leverage in getting Republicans to concede on the amnesty Democrats desperately want. If we pass a border security bill now with an eye to stopping terrorists, some congressional Republicans will decide that they’ve gotten what they wanted from immigration legislation and can now walk away from the legalization component. (In reality, there’d still be plenty of GOPers eager to pass legalization in the name of pandering to Latinos, but there wouldn’t be as many votes for a legalization-only bill as there would for a comprehensive one.) The only way Democrats can keep them at the table is to hold border security hostage — even with the public nervous about ISIS trying to pull something. You would think a guy representing a movement that’s determined to leave the country less secure in the name of getting its way on an unrelated issue would come armed with better deflections than “what about ISIS using visas?”, but no. I guess, when you’re confident in your long-term electoral supremacy because of changing demographics, you can afford to laugh in people’s faces about their silly counterterrorism priorities.
Meanwhile, Dick Durbin’s blaming the Ebola epidemic in Africa in part on House Republicans’ failure to pass the Gang of Eight bill. If Boehner came back to him today with a pure border security bill that contains some provisions for fighting Ebola, think Durbin would suck it up and sacrifice amnesty to pass it? Me neither.

America? He has loyalty to this country and he does not represent the interest of the citizens who elected him either
Insane “logic”.
Some would question his sanity, I can’t for he is loyal follower of the democrat and a member of the party of the democrat, that makes him, not insane, simply a lying traitor.
I’d like to get Dennis Miller’s take on this.
“YOU LIE!”
To any democrat, Gutierrez assertions make perfect sense!
Above all, Gutierrez is an ethnic hustler trying to increase his own power and influence by getting more of his group into the US, by whatever means.
Democrat “logic” on parade as this loud Leftist weasel rides the La Raza Racist Express to his cushy job every day. If their entire caucus disappeared, America would be better off.
Huh? This guy is a reprobate and a fool. He should be exiled because of his continuing hate crimes against America.
He took an oath to “Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
What can one say about the man who’s loyalties run counter to that oath?
What should be done to such a man?
I think it used to be hanging. Don't know for sure, but I like it.

The lefties are wrong, in every direction, on the immigration bill.
Yes, majorities in the GOP want beefed up border security & want a bill that has that.
However, with that enacted in some other bill, majorities in the GOP still want other immigration reforms as well; they just don’t want amnesty.
The real problem for the Dims is not that the GOP will abandon “immigration reform” if they get better border security on its own; and their argument is false on that score.
The real concern for the Dims is that with an immigration reform bill that does not need to have better security tied to it, to get GOP support, THAT kind of immigration reform bill will not be able to have amnesty in it, because the treasonous GOP-e will not have trade our security for amnesty - not for “immigration reform”, but amnesty (which the GOP-e WILL do).
AMNESTY is what it is ALL about.
He is not stupid; he hopes his double-think will work because the American people are.
(Cackle) Stuff like that makes you understand why Durbin is considered a "shoo-in."
Mmmmm..... if only Dickie would unglue his mouth from Gutierrez's rear end, what tales he could tell.
Once upon a time, the infamous Lois Lerner used her then-FEC position to save Dummycrat Dick’s seat back in 1996. She conducted an inquisition into Durbin's opponent for alleged election law violations....and it worked. Dickie triumphed.
==================================================
Dickie's an unwavering Obama lock-stepper.
As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:
QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
SEN. RICHARD DURBIN CLICKS HIS HEELS AND SALUTES SMARTLY: “We Democrats believe — and we stand by this — if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward.” (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)
DURBIN VOTERS HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE.
Nobody knows who---but some wise-guy put a cucaracha in Sen Schumer's bean soup.
And when Schumer ordered a taco, the stale taco shell was willfully broken in half---carne assade spiced w/ habanero peppers spilled all over Schumer's pants.
Schumer had to seek emergency medical treatment for painful crotch burn.
