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.”

...but for an accident of birth I would be a Saudi Arabian prince.
...but for a accident of birth the entire population of Pakistan would be Swiss.
Typical of your hereditary criminal classes, Pelosi and her running dog lackeys have absolutely no idea what that is all about.
They are AFRAID to apply for welfare? HOGWARSH! You commie twit!
My daughter worked for a state aid service. the amount of aid given to illegals is staggering. No proof of citizenship as most do not have a SS# The illegals are very savy at getting free money and services. I live in the Peoples Republic of Oregon where speaking spanish is required if you want a job in social services in the state.
