House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) insists that immigration reform, including amnesty for the estimated 12-20 million who reside in the US illegally is “the most critical human rights issue of our time.”
“Right now, too many of these immigrants are forced to accept back-breaking labor at low wages because they are afraid to apply for welfare,” Pelosi alleged. “They have no say in our government because they are afraid to vote. In short, they are blocked from full participation in our society because of an accident of birth.”
The Speaker praised “the public demonstrations on behalf of amnesty by so many of our fellow travelers on the road to a socially just society,” but contended that “angry expressions of outrage and demands for action will be insufficient if Congress doesn’t ‘close the deal’ by enacting a path to legalization for these people.”
Pelosi asked that “Catholic Bishops and other authorities in the Church to urge that all members of the faith who have been lucky enough to avoid being aborted come to the aid of our co-religionists from south of the border by writing and calling their congresspersons to press them to support immigration reform.”
In related news, Pelosi tried to bolster morale among Democrats facing tough reelection races by suggesting that they appeal to constituents’ self-interest. “It’s a simple equation,” Pelosi averred. “Do the voters in your district prefer to be the donees of wealth transferred from opponents of the Democratic program? Or would they prefer to be donors tapped for money to be used to implement this program? Given the option of being the cannibal or being the meal I think we can feel confident that they will know how to vote.”

Uh, no, it's the most critical get these people legalized and into the voting booth in November so we don't get slaughtered issue of our time.
Its gotta be getting hard to write satire these days. LOL
Outrageous and revealing.
Savage would say she’d be running a brassiere store.
I’ve heard some stupid things come out of the Witch of the house before but it all pales to this bunch of crap.
“the most critical human rights issue of our time.”
Then tell China to take them in...
Quite right. Isn’t the Rule of Law a human right, the right to live on a civilized society? Allowing illegality is a crime against humanity. (Well, why couldn’t I?)
Show us in the constitution where the rule of law gets trumped by “human rights” or “social justice” for that matter.
Pelosi is a lunatic ... No one is going to fall for her more ignorant Democrat voters ruse.
She should visit Cuba.
Just to remind ourselves, for future reference...

You got me with the title alone! I didn’t click on the thread because I knew the witch was crazy enough to say it.
It wasn’t until I saw a reply addressed to you that I knew.
Good on ya!
I Hate satire. No wonder my blood pressure has been sky high lately. Honestly, the following line really does sound like something Nancy Pelosi would say: “They have no say in our government because they are afraid to vote. In short, they are blocked from full participation in our society because of an accident of birth.” I should know whenever I read something that makes me growl and grit my teeth, I should look for the “satire label.” There is nothing funny about satire, its a form of torture! That said I am going to take a deep breath and relax. I can’t write lol, so how about “haha” and a raspberry to you.

Oops, my bad, i forgot we can't do anything logical. Otherwise we would secure the border, legalize Marijuana to starve drug cartels, and deport people that have crossed our border ILLEGALLY without bias.

How about amnesty for tax evasion?
Is that a human-rights issue, Nanzi?
Because that is what they are guilty of if they worked under-the-table after entering the country illegally.
