Where is my White Boy Caucus?

I can't join the Black Caucus nor the Hispanic Caucus?

Democratic leaders encouraged members of the Democrats’ Frontline program — which aids the party’s 10 most at-risk incumbents — to vote for the bill to avert Republican attacks that could paint the vulnerable members as soft on illegal immigration, Democratic aides and lobbying sources said. Every Frontline member ultimately voted for the immigration bill, which enjoyed the support of 36 Democrats overall.

The wall is an election winner. Don't lose Congress Mr. President.

Hey, border crossings work both ways. Vamanos!

Very revealing. Trying to create fake resumes for at risk Donkeys. Rahm is a smart guy. Do the Elephants ever do anything this cunning?

The net net though is that the Dems are the party of uncontrolled illegal immigration. They are beholden to the racist Mexican illegal lobby and the Brown Supremicist hate group "The Race". This should be emphasized over and over again in the 2006 mid terms by Republicans running against them.

“The Sensenbrenner bill is a vicious and vile attack on our nation’s hardworking immigrant community,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said Wednesday. “This horrible piece of legislation is not only ill-conceived and fundamentally flawed, but it also will not fix our nation’s broken immigration system.”

Quit the BS Gutierrez...you have zero interest in fixing the immigration system.

I don't understand how Mexicans wanting to sneak across the border could be anyone's constituency. 1) They can't vote, 2) they aren't in the country yet.

Hey what does La Raza mean in English

"Remember San Jacinto!"

Those are two things the open borders crowd would like to change

Not only that, they would just provide competition for the Hispanics already here.

This is the reason all the Indian guys who have green cards don't want any more H1Bs.

...Cecilia Munoz, vice president for policy at the National Council of La Raza...

Nice that someone finally admits who's running the show.

Democrats do not abide by the laws of the United States.

I like it when Democrats each other.

Actually, there was a very interesting issue with this in Chicago a few years ago. A older white candidate surprised everyone by winning election in a overwhelmingly majority black ward in Chicago. He then presented himself at the City Council's Black Caucus for membership. There was quite a row as to whether he should be allowed to join. They originally denied him membership. He then went public and asked what the purpose of the Black Caucus was. Was it to advance the interests of black constituents? If so, he represented more of them than some of the then-current members. If not, then what was it's purpose; to be a private club for black aldermen? He eventually was granted membership.

Always nice to see trouble in my enemy's tent.

Luis Gutierrez, a little, lying, smiling, greasy politician is of Puerto Rican descent, so he's automatically a citizen of the old U.S.A. (what was Congress smoking when they passed those rules?)

He's paying lip service for any and all Hispanics at large, however, most of the illegals in Chicago are from Mexico, and they ain't too friendly to Puerto Ricans, last time I checked.....

"Republicans brought up a bill that was extraordinary in its ugliness."

This is rich, coming from someone representing an explicitly racist organization.
