What a lying B##ch.

Issues of race have made GOP leaders reluctant to back immigration reform, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) charged Thursday.

Pelosi and the Democrats are getting boring with their blame game.

Before she goes into one of her hysterical, nonsensical tirades, she should explain why the Democrats refuse to secure the borders. And then, in due time, deal with the illegal aliens already here.

Pelosi could support initiatives to sort out and deport the criminal element and gang members, the then work with the lawmakers to come up with a compassionate approach for those hard working, law abiding, tax paying illegal immigrants who jumped the line to get into our country.

There is no hurry to do that; they have been in this country for generations, and can wait until we have a fair and balanced remedy that is acceptable and fair to those who waited in line.

Are the Democrats angry because we do not want to do again what we did in 1987 that only encouraged tens of millions more to illegally immigrate to the USA? Why implement a proven, failed policy?

We could turn this around on them. If tens of millions of white illegal immigrants were flooding in, taking jobs from blacks and Hispanics and voting Republican, those same “compassionate” liberals would be screaming for them to be forcibly removed from this country.
