OAKLAND -- U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., blasted the Obama administration Thursday night for deporting record numbers of people from the country and for breaking promises made to immigrant voters during the 2008 presidential campaign.
"He came to our neighborhoods, he came to our communities, he gave speeches," Gutierrez said, interspersing Spanish and English on a visit to an East Oakland school.
A predominantly Spanish-speaking crowd of several hundred people packed into the gymnasium of the Cesar Chavez Education Center to hear Gutierrez speak. Some shared stories of how immigration arrests had divided their families.
"When I was 15 years old, I felt my life was over," said Richmond resident Bianca Rojo, describing how her parents were deported to Mexico nearly six years ago.
Gutierrez, who hails from the president's home city of Chicago, began his speech by quoting directly from Obama's 2008 campaign statements about fixing an unjust immigration system and ending raids that split families apart. Then, Gutierrez explained how he felt those pledges had not been met.

and the latinos expected Obama to do what exactly....you should have known he is a big fat liar and tells them wherever he is exactly whatever they want to hear at that moment.
He has no morals.
LMAO!
You mean another broken campaign promise from the “one?”
I’m shocked! *sarc*
“U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., blasted the Obama administration Thursday night for deporting record numbers of people from the country”
That makes sense. We have record numbers of illegal aliens committing record numbers of crimes. It is very difficult for an illegal to get deported unless they get their asses thrown in jail for a non immigration crime.
And he is wrong — Hussein is doing a fine job of surrendering to Mexico.
Luiz Gutierrez is an ethnic bigot of the highest order. His allegiance is to la raza above all else. He is a traitor to the United States. His is a most despicable cockroach.
Is this what he is upset about ? More than 1,300 federal and local law enforcement officers fanned out Thursday morning across the Los Angeles harbor area to arrest 80 alleged members and associates of the Rancho San Pedro gang, capping a nearly three-year investigation that linked the group to firearms and narcotics trafficking.
The enforcement action targeted some 230 Rancho San Pedro members and associates who are charged in federal and state court documents with a host of crimes, including violent acts as well as firearms and narcotics violations. Of the defendants located and taken into custody Thursday, 66 were arrested on state weapons and narcotics charges and 14 were arrested based upon federal indictments.
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has issued 12 indictments naming 26 defendants on charges ranging from the distribution of methamphetamine and illegal weapon sales to immigration offenses. One of the indictment names three defendants who were allegedly involved in a series of narcotics transactions, including one sale involving more than one pound of methamphetamine. The lead defendant in that case is also accused of brokering the sale of 22 firearms, including assault rifles. About half of the defendants named in the federal indictments face potential life sentences.The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting approximately 145 defendants on state charges, including illegal weapons possession and selling drugs, including methamphetamine and heroin.
The Rancho San Pedro gang originated back in the 1970s. Its membership includes 600 documented members, as well as more than 400 associates.
