Sheila Jackson Lee: 'Selfish' for America to Deny Illegals Amnesty, Work Permits
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | November 18, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/19/2014 5:07:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

On Tuesday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said President Barack Obama’s forthcoming unilateral action on immigration is not “amnesty” and declared that America would be “selfish” to deny illegal immigrants temporary work permits and amnesty.

Speaking on the House floor, Jackson Lee, who handed out candy to illegal immigrant juveniles this summer at detention centers, mentioned that Texas has 1.3 illegal immigrants and said she loves “living in a country that is known around the world for its humanitarian generosity.” She said the illegal immigrants are working, paying taxes and love their children, some of whom are U.S. citizens or have been granted temporary amnesty. She urged Obama to “do the right thing” by using his “executive power to give humanitarian relief” to illegal immigrants.

“This is not amnesty. This is prioritization, “she said. “This is saving money. This is keeping families together. This is allowing children to not come home to places where their parents have been thrown from their places of work and taken away from them.”(continued)

So if a Thug break into your house, are you going to let him stay, or are you going to ‘be selfish’ and call the police, Shelia?

She doesn’t have the capacity to realize anything.

The Dems have murdered 40 million babies since 1973 and have no means to shore up their social security without a mass influx of new taxpayers.

Liberals causing the mess is the story of all things since the start. They could care less about the melting pot as long as it is taxed.

There a whole lot of blacks, Hispanics and whites in Texas that will be in for a surprise if His Arrogance gives the illegals legitimacy and work permits and I suspect they will not be happy or complacent.

Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America.

OBAMA’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY TO MIGRANTS THAT ARE LIVING ILLEGALLY IN THE U.S.A.

After destroying the best health care system in the world, Obama is determined to grant wide amnesty to foreigners living illegally in U.S. If Obama wants to make the U.S. into another banana republic, it seems he is well underway to reaching his goal.

The Republicans must make it perfectly clear that Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America. There are 92 million of able Americans out of the work force because they cannot find employment and Obama wants to legalize and give work permits to over 11 million illegal aliens allowing them to bring here the rest of their families. In other words, another 25 or 30 million that either will compete with Americans and legal immigrants searching for scarce jobs or are going to be added to welfare, bankrupting Medicaid and the food stamp system as well as ruining even more the quality of the public schools with the massive infuse of hundreds of thousands of children without speaking English to already overburdened schools systems.

Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's ill conceived amnesty.

Skyrocketing black unemployment, plummeting wages, social services stretched to the limit. SJL is OK with that?

I wonder how many illegal aliens live in her house. Just askin’.

Gee, isn’t it interesting on how well-paid black Democrats will sell out their own people in a heart-beat. I see unemployed black men and young people every day in DC and it is a shame.

Sheila Jackson Lee. Named after two Confederate generals and some girl I used to date.
