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)

Where will we find 4-5 million illegals to do the work 4-5 million legalized illegals won’t do?

I think it’s selfish to allow the good Germans, Polish and Lithuanians into this country. Let’s let 40 million or so in. Someone has to supervise the new Democrats, aka illegals.

Tell it, sister!! Your black constituents get paid way too much as it is. So give the illegals amnesty and work permits so that they can undercut the blacks through lower wages and take away the jobs from the blacks. Blacks don’t need jobs anyway, as long as you are there to take care of their every need (and keep ‘em on the plantation).

I think those on WELFARE should have to share their payments with the illegals. That is how we pay for them, Shelia.

Hey Sheila, How happy are you going to be when the Democratic party supports Maria and Jose Lopez when they run for congress and not you? And when your constituents have all lost their jobs to the new immigrants and turn against you?

Sheila Jackson Lee: 'Selfish' for America to Deny Illegals Amnesty, Work Permits

Pardon me, Ms Jackson-Lee, but unlike you, I haven't grown fat from the government teat and must scratch for a living. The continual import of H1Bs to keep my salary low and to make me compete against foreigners in my own country is akin to shipping my job overseas, only the workers also live on a largess of the American government.

This is exactly whatyou will be subjecting your people to - importing mexicans to take away the jobs that blacks could have. Of course most aren't interested in working anyway. I guess they'll just sit home now, collect government subsidies and yak on their 0bamaphones.

There isn't any particularly good reason why States like Texas have House Districts gerrymandered to ensure demented communist imbeciles are guaranteed to be elected.

Cretins like Lee are in office because communist Federal Judges redraw the maps to help ensure their fellow travelers remain in power.

They have no Constitutional right to do this.

Enough is enough.

Is she the one that said she was a freed slave? That’s quite a step up to a socialist mascot.
