The Illinois congressman charged with crafting President Obama’s amnesty bill has embarked on a national tour to promote a special program that allows illegal immigrants with children to remain in the United States.
Launched by Democrat Luis Gutierrez, the "Campaign For American Children and Families” aims to grant a special parole to illegal aliens who have relatives in the U.S. so that families can remain together in the land of opportunity. The measure is essential to help those “whose lives are being turned upside down by deportation,” according to the veteran lawmaker who authored a bill to give the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants amnesty.
Gutierrez estimates that around 4 million U.S. citizen children (“anchor babies”) have a deportable mother or father and all live in fear that they’ll lose a parent at any moment. His national tour will visit at least 20 cities and feature heartbreaking testimony from illegal immigrant families torn apart by deportation. Children and spouses of removed illegal aliens will take the microphone to tell their sob stories at the various rallies, Gutierrez promises.
The goal is to pressure Obama into using his executive power to halt deportations while a broader amnesty bill is being considered by Congress. Immigration reform is necessary in the long run, Gutierrez says, but in the meantime the government must ensure that it doesn’t “needlessly deport” those who are working, raising families and “contributing to our nation and economic recovery.” Obama must “provide relief” from deportation, the congressman asserts.
While his advocacy on behalf of illegal aliens has put Gutierrez in the spotlight lately, the eight-term congressman is also well known for his involvement in a couple of high-profile corruption scandals. A few years ago he unscrupulously pressed the federal government to bail out a failing Puerto Rican bank operated by his wife and several major political donors. Nine hundred and thirty five million taxpayer dollars later, the bank is still struggling and losing huge sums.
Before that Gutierrez was embroiled in a separate scandal involving a political donor who benefitted from his influence in obtaining suspicious zoning changes in Chicago. Gutierrez heavily lobbied the city's mayor to back a controversial multi million-dollar development for a campaign donor who had just given him $200,000.
Ping!
Another incentive for illegals to sneak in and start making babies.
Exactly, and this turkey wants to get our King in the WH to do it with an executive order.
Luis Gutierrez...Illinois?
The people in Illinois voted for this guy?
And there are those that don’t believe our electoral process has been completed undermined, subverted and compromised?
How many illegal aliens are voting in Illinois?
Of course, people in Illinois voted for Luis Gutierrez. Illinois IS the zombie state, where the dead regularly manage to vote.
How about this - agree with him.
Every illegal who can show that the only law they broke was immigration - can stay.
Any found to have falsified social welfare docs, or SSNs to get jobs - can hang as spies.
Or maybe just be in a prison work gang, building a solar energy field in the desert. For 3X the time they were in the states illegally - at which point they will be deported to their shithole country.
Those that believe the Mexicans plan for Aztlan ends at Texarkana, are very mistaken
That’s why I said:
There are those that don’t believe our electoral process has been completed undermined, subverted and compromised?
What did anyone expect when the same government rolled out the red carpet for tens of millions to enter illegally?
A government that will not protect and secure it’s legitimate sovereign borders, will itself eventually become illegitimate.
It’s not really a plan, it’s just pure demographic immivasion.
Up your’s Gutierrez. I’m sick of politicians telling me what i should be supporting. Show me the legislation stripping the children of illegals of their stolen citizenship.
Already the war on our borders and violence flooding in makes the old mob Capone gang wars seem petty.
In fact, the entire nation, coast to coast, is becoming corrupted by violent open borders....It will make good old boy Chicago seem insignificant...Corruption so bad, it will eventually kill America.
None of this was an accident or happenstance...This violent lawlessness is orchestrated and intentionally allowed to progress. Yes, there are millions entering without a clue, but there are people behind the curtains, who are intentionally aiding, abetting and supporting this invasion.
Bet the rent...
Absolutely! That's who he's working for and that's who should be paying his salary...In Mexico.
The major crook Luis Gutierrez’ and Uncle Janet Napolitano’s Stealth Amnesty Plan in action, advocating that we simply do not enforce our laws. In 2010 illegals were the parents of 4.5 million children born in the US, which means they are pushing amnesty for about 9 million out of the 11 million illegals the government “claims” are here. Gutierrez is a traitor to the citizens of the United States.
He most certainly is and the oath he took means nothing to him. That is an excellent article you posted on welfare and illegals, thanks.
Parts of Illinois have been re-conquered — er, conquered — by Mexico. Gutierrez is a Puerto Rican.
