House Democrats Tuesday unveiled major legislation to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, pegging its passage to the fulfillment of a campaign promise by President Barack Obama.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who has shepherded the bill, enjoyed chants of “yes we can” from a horde of onlookers in a packed room in the Rayburn House Office Building. But the future of the bill is more uncertain.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) and its most senior member, Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D-Texas), lauded the bill, saying it’s long overdue and would help integrate undocumented immigrants into U.S. society.
But with the nation’s unemployment in double-digits and massive health-care overhaul legislation slogging through the Senate, the timing and prospects of the legislation are in question.
Still, Gutierrez indicated that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has given his word the measure would see time on the Senate floor.

Democrats, be careful, or the future headlines may be:
Conservatives overhaul government: Tar and Feathers in Short Supply.
The elections you guys have down there next year are going to be interesting.
I think it was H.R. 4437.
Those were the days.
The black community has an unemployment rate over 30%, you think they’re going to stand for this? This is 1 issue where Democrats and Republicans can agree.

50 years ago Nikita Kruschev said that we would fall from with in. I never thought I would see it in my lifetime. The end of this Republic is near.
We do not need an immigration overhaul. We need an enforcement overhaul.
Now, get your azzes over there and haul those ILLEGAL trespassers to jail!
LOL. They are in a hole. The first rule is to stop digging.
The good thing about this is that with unemployment so high, the R’s will learn to oppose illegal immigration and amnesty. Maybe that will become a habit.
It will sure energize the tea parties and a lot of unemployed dems will be tempted to join. Maybe these dems will learn something about the idea of limited government by participating.
Love it!
Well, it would be humorous were it not so damn scary.
The Democrats know all this angers us and is harmful to our country. They don’t care as that’s part of their agenda and they are doing it on the quick to use their advantage of a majority in Congress and Omama in the White House. Once they have us screwed, they figure we won’t be able to repeal the disasters.
Why in the Hell would we want to do that?
Folks are already p!ssed...
These people must be stopped.
