Protesters decry Lipinski's vote on immigration bill

Later in the article, Juan refers to the "concerns of the Hispanic population in the 3rd District", a clear inference to them being a voting block.

Usually when these illegal alien crusaders use the terms "Mexican community", "Hispanic population", and "Latino community" they are still only talking about illegals.

Point is, if this is true, it would indicate that this crowd will fight against any meaningful "immigration" reform, even Dem sponsored.

Let's hope that not only are they a small (though loud) group, let's hope that they don't vote.

Then you're going to love today's article:

Guatemala City, Dec 29 (EFE).- Guatemalan Vice President Eduardo Stein on Thursday described as "an insult to Latin America" the U.S. proposal to build a wall along its border with Mexico.

"We take it as a total insult to all Latin America that a government calling itself a friend and partner in the region only wants our money and our goods, but sees our people as if they were an epidemic. They treat us as if we were a sub-hemisphere of criminals," Stein told reporters.

The vice president was talking about United States plans to build an wall along its border with Mexico to halt the thousands of immigrants that every day try to enter the country illegally. The U.S. House of Representatives approved the bill two weeks ago.

To reporters' questions about whether U.S. migration policy could "chill" diplomatic ties between Guatemala and the United States, Stein answered that "there will be a need to reconsider" relations.

"Not just by building walls and passing tough laws that criminalize the search for better economic opportunities" can migration problems be solved, he said. The U.S. proposal is not only "absolutely intolerable and inhuman, (but) it forces us to consider other choices in terms of international alliances," Stein said.

Are you understanding from this excerpt that Mr. Stein has any other plans to offer economic opportunities to his people than encouraging them to migrate? And he thinks that we want their money and goods? If there's anything in your house that's made by Guatemalans, could you tell me what it is, please? I'll go out and buy some so that it will be a true statement to say that we want their money and goods.
