Lawmakers pushing for immigration reform say job losses and a sluggish economy should not deter legislation legalizing illegal immigrants.Hispanic, black, Asian and other House lawmakers backing immigration overhaul called Tuesday for legalizing illegal immigrants in the U.S., despite a weakened economy and joblessness.
The coalition of lawmakers said Tuesday immigration reform can protect American workers as well as bring into the mainstream economy productive immigrant workers who have lived in the shadows because of their illegal status.
"For those who say that given the state of our economy, given the unemployment rate, this is not the time, I would say to you there is no wrong or right time. There is a moral obligation," said Rep. Lydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the Congressional

Welcome to Free Republic! Greetings from NC...
Tick, tock; tick, tock. That is the sound of time running out on Congress. And there will be a terrible backlash.
Whth a screen name like yours the feds are sure to keep track or your activities. It might be benificial to have someone from LA for them to chase after.
That’s certainly my take on it.
And what’s going on right now is horrible, but at least it’s being done in the name of the Left. Look at the respect for the left. It’s being destroyed.
Independents are getting a real good luck at the left right now. It’s about time this generation got a good look at what the left wants to do, wants to be affiliated with.
The first and worst ineligible poseur acting like the President of the United States ever.
Yeah, no thanks. That would seal the deal on the fall of the Republic IMO.
Incorrect. We are NOT in a depression.
i guess it depends on who “we” are. WE IN MICHIGAN are in a depression. If it weren’t for unemployment benefits, people would be living and starving in the streets!!
After the elected Democrats/Marxists/liberals ram through government healthcare then they will ram this Amnesty for illegals down the American people's throat.
The Democrats/Marxists know that elected democrats are 60% of the Senate so they know that there is nothing Republicans can do to stop them.
The fix is in . All this “debate” between “moderate” and liberal democrats is all an act. Democrats are all Marxists. They always knew they were going to vote for government healhtcare. So they know they will all vote for Amnesty as that guarantees democrats to get tens of millions of new voters, the illegals and their families back in the third world. then they will silence Rush, Hannity, Levin with the Fairness doctrine, and silence the Internet with Net Neutrality.
They , all elected Democrats/Marxists, know this script.And they know that there is not a thing that Republicans, conservatives, or the American people can do to stop them.
Then the private sector which is the engine of wealth,jobs, high living standards and freedom will be crippled. And the Marxist/communist/Democrat takeover will be complete without firing a shot.
Amnesty is Fort Sumter.

Tell them it's the equivalent of firing on Fort Sumter, and mean it.
1. In 1986, Sen Ted Kennedy’s blanket amnesty for 2.7 million illegal aliens promised a lot more enforcement but did not set any requirements for actual reductions in illegal immigration.
2. In 1994, Ted Kennedy’s Section 245(i) Amnesty gave legal residence and jobs to 578,000 illegal aliens. It was a temporary rolling amnesty primarily for extended family members of immigrants who instead of waiting in line, come on to the country illegally.
3. In 1997, Ted Kennedy’s extension of the Section 245(i) rolling amnesty was followed by an increasing flow of illegal immigration.
4. In 1997, Ted Kennedy also won an amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America. Illegal immigration sped up some more.
5. In 1998, Ted Kennedy won an amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
6. In 2000, Ted Kennedy got the so-called Late Amnesty, legalizing another 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed that they missed out on Kennedy’s 1986 amnesty.
7. In 2000, Ted Kennedy also won the LIFE Act Amnesty for an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. It was another reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty.......an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. Illegal immigration accelerated.

Another disastrous Kennedy legacy:
Teddy and his brother Bobby were instrumental in drawing up and passing the 1965 immigration "reform" law----that changed the ethnic distribution of immigrants who were coming in from predominantly European origin....... to encourage predominantly Latin American, and other Third World immigration, and Asians (including Moslems).
The primary purpose of their bill (never admitted publicly), was new Dem voters.......including illegals with stolen ID's that followed.
Another disastrous consequence: the US was more vulnerable to sabotage from within. The immigration tidal wave enabled the Left's evil agenda of "diversity," "multiculturalism," and "political correctness." Ethnic tensions in both urban and suburban areas were exacerbated.
The MSM has never linked the increased "Balkanization." and instability of American culture to the Kennedy brothers, although they deserve a huge share of the blame.
So, Hank - what exactly are YOU going to do when the Democrats inundate 200+ Congressional districts with a foreign majority, and gain a rubberstamp for the next 3 decades, like Mexico's PRI?
We started this Republic with 20,000 to 30,000 citizens per US representative. We're at 600,000 citizens per US representative now. This will add another 20,000 to 30,000 "citizens" per US representative.
They're telling you your vote is worth doodley-squat.
They're spitting in your face, and my face.
You know, I never got involved in the previous amnesty wars on Free Republic, years ago. This time, it's different. This time, it's for all the marbles, and this is The Final Provocation.
You can make nice to the outside world all you want, but if they get this, it's REALLY all over.
Wal Mart is usually filled with illegals which I why I avoid going there.
www.numbersusa,com Get set up on the Action Buffett to send free faxes. They have canned letters and alert you. Sepnd a 1minute a week. they helped stop the last amnesty attempt.
Most people are too lazy and watch tv like the little slaves and peons they are.
A lot of people here are lazy cause they are watching TV and ball games like the rest of the serfs and dhiminis in this country.
I was on the phone today with my senator AH about Obama care followed by faxes on www.faxzero.com (2 free a day). I have been doing that for months usually twice a week.
I was on numbersusa.com using their canned fax system to send 6 free faxes today o stop amnesty andthey did last time.
What did others here do today? Well I read about granny’s peach cobbler or how to pray the rosary or some dumb joke or satire or some other crap.
People are lazy. They would rather be serfs and salves watching LSU play Old BS State in some toatlly meaningless ball game or NASCAR race or Oprah episode or some dumb TV show..
Your username is irresponsible and trollish. Conservatives do not support anarchy or terrorism. We support the rule of law at all costs. Take it back to DU.
Completely irresponsible comment. We’ve had amnesties before and nothing of the kind ever happened. The American people are not going to go to war over this issue. If you don’t like the current representation in Congress, vote them out. Conservatives don’t resort to terrorism when we don’t get our way. We are civilized unlike the other side of the aisle.
