Luis Gutierrez's remarks on immigration reform
Politico ^ | March 21, 2010 | Ben Smith

Posted on 03/22/2010 2:09:54 PM PDT by caveat emptor

This isn't exactly the "pivot" the White House was looking for, but recent presidential attention to immigration has been driven in part by an immigration rally in D.C. today larger than the recent health care protests, and also pointedly addressed at Obama.

Luis Gutierrez, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Immigration Taskforce, per his prepared remarks, focused on the urgency of the issue:

Justice for immigrants cannot wait. It cannot be delayed because of the fears of politicians......
After Dr. King said “justice now,” in that building, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, and President Lyndon Johnson made equality real for African-Americans.

How did he do it? With a pen. A simple pen.

Amnesty looks like it's their next thing.

What worries me is that as the Dim poll numbers tank lots of their so-called blue dogs may decide to ram everything through they can on the assumption that they're dead anyway.

Of course, right on cue.

Sounds like Chicago politics from another from Illinois.

Yep. Representative, Democrat, Illinois, District 4 (Chicago, Stone Park)

“Justice for immigrants...”

Justice actually means jail time for people who break our immigration laws.

"Amnesty by Decree" for a mere 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 by this or any President will NOT stand.

Times have changed, to say the least (no longer are we "informed" by 3 networks who never met a liberal issue that they couldn't champion) but Lyndon Johnson went on to not run for re-election and his destroying Viet Nam wasn't the only reason.

Johnson could NEVER been elected for his "rule by decree" and rule of law by "decree" for millions of people, especially those who are criminals not only for invading our country but also for sexual assault, murder, and any number of other felonies (stealing and using IDs for instance).

I believe that not only will conservatives, independents but even run-of-the-mill dimocRATS (especially blacks who will never be able to work thanks to the millions of illegals working at entry level jobs which generally are filled by black teens) will stand up and say, "NO AMNESTY by DECREE!"

I have to give Luis credit, seldom have I seen a more convoluted and juxtaposed representation of the facts, all the whining about what injustice a bunch of deliberate lawbreakers have endure in the USA. Talk about a demagogue, old Luis knows how to demagogue.

The need for “justice” is brought on by certain “injustice”

First identify the “injustice”

CRICKETS

Another Luis Gutierrez, in the parking lot of Home Depot said
this morning as he sipped a beer and urinated on the sickly shrubbery:
“Mas immigrantes! Mas cerveza! Pinches Gringos no bueno!”

When asked for additional comments, Mr. Gutierrez attacked the
reporter and spray painted gang tags on a nearby vehicle.

The 14 Gutierrez children were unavailable for comment.

Congress needs to pass amensty ASAP, before they lose in Nov. If they do, then they are guaranteed in just a few short years there will be enough dem voters to keep all furure dems in the majority forever (or until the USA collapses).

I'm not sure, but I think fed employment stats are broken down only hispanic/non-hispanic (as well as American-born/foreign-born) but not by other ethnicities. Here is an article tracking U.S. employment rates from Jan-01 to Jan-10.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Obama’s speech to La Raza:

(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S. LaRaza lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )

Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate "was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t seen since the struggle for civil rights." !!

SHAMEFUL!

Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!!

SHAMEFUL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEITOQfKVmo

Barack Hussein Obama: "I walked the walk. I talked the talk. I marched with you for "civil rights" of "immigrants". (!!)

SHAMEFUL!

* He supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

* He supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.

* He voted YES on "comprehensive immigration reform," a codeword for amnesty.

* He voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.

Omama supports La Raza’s, the "DREAM Act," which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.

SHAMEFUL!

Obama pimps illegal aliens. Considering the additional violent crime, third word diseases they bring into this country and the billions of dollars it cost us to take care of them.

SHAMEFUL!

The Heritage Foundation ^ | 10/25/06 | Robert Rector

The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime. This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant’s children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize.

In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes

Coming to America...

Heads up! This is a MUST HEAR.

http://video.theterryandersonshow.com/SHOWS/2010/100321.mp3

Last night Terry Anderson hit it out of the park on amnesty, race baiting, and so called black leaders (They are selling us out!...says Terry) teaming up with ‘latino’ leaders for the DC march and the amnesty push.

He also plays a song sent to him on CD.

“MCCAIN MUST GO” (Johnny’s gotta go)

It is great! It really hits on all the back handed history of John McCain. Terry said he would put a link for the song on his sight asap, but you can hear most of it on the audio of last night’s show.
