Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) warned President Barack Obama on Tuesday that Latinos will not regard as “acceptable” a move to make the E-Verify system of checking prospective employees’ immigration status mandatory for all U.S. firms, as urged by Republicans. Gutierrez, the Chicago-born son of Puerto Rican parents, gave the warning at a telephone press conference ahead of Wednesday’s hearing of the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement about a bill to impose E-Verify nationwide.
That bill is being pushed by the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Texas Republican Lamar Smith, and Immigration Subcommittee Chair Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.).
E-Verify, in force since 1997, has been harshly criticized by unions and pro-immigrant groups that say it criminalizes immigrants and is ineffective. If the measure is passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, it will depend on the Senate, where Democrats are in the majority, for Smith’s controversial bill to be approved.
“The danger exists” that the most conservative Democratic senators will support the measure, Gutierrez acknowledged Tuesday, urging Obama to promise he will veto the bill, if necessary.
“The president’s Hispanic advisors must make him understand that signing such a proposal before the 2012 elections is not acceptable to the Latino community,” the congressman said, stressing the importance of the Hispanic vote for Obama’s reelection.
E-Verify allows businessmen to consult databases of the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to check whether job applicants have the legal authorization to be hired.
Hispanic activists complain that the system is “riddled with errors,” so that it affects legal immigrant workers more than the undocumented....
Gutierrez believes Republicans “have the false hope that the 11 million undocumented workers and their families will leave if we make things difficult. That’s a fantasy. They’re not going to leave, they have their life here,” he said...
In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 6 that states may oblige companies to use E-Verify.
You forgot mush-mouth ignoramus.
Everytime I see this unctuous idiot on the screen I run into the other room. I don't think he has a clue how artless he is, which should be to our advantage.
You have only posted that 100 times, everyone has seen it, it adds nothing to this story, and everybody here knows who and what he is. Please tell me how you know I am a “Romneybot”? Please cite one thing I’ve ever said about him. Ever. You have a problem, I suspect it is with women. Examine your conscience. Your post was non-germane to the thread, and you posted it because it is your hobby horse. You really think people on this forum haven’t seen that before, like you’re bringing some new information to the discussion? Of course not, you just wanted to ride on your horsy and decided this thread was as good as any other — instead taking the trouble to find something new and interesting to post that people might want to read. You just posted the same old $***. And I am not surprised to learn you are monolingual.
But it is "acceptable" for U.S. citizens to have their 2nd Amendment RIGHTS stomped on by having to endure background checks to purchase a firearm.
“Fine, lets just deport every freaking illegal alien we find.”
Works for me. Should be working for every real Conservative.
You have defended him and his religion
I don’t think that’s funny. I am RC and really resent it when people trash talk my religion, so I don’t appreciate it when the same thing happens to other people’s religion (with the exception of Izlam.)
Anyway,your comment that "You have only posted that 100 times, everyone has seen it, it adds nothing to this story, and everybody here knows who and what he is is retarded.
Obviously, extermination of the CPC has not become the campaign issue that it should be.
Trying to make that happen.
Xanax works wonders for emotional women, try it!
Some pigs are more equal then others
I didn’t defend him and I didn’t defend his religion. Is that the best you could do? You interpret my saying I don’t think we should attack each other’s religions as an endorsement of Romney? That is pathetic. Your political antenna, if you have any, are hopelessly are bent.<p.
You have only posted that 100 times, everyone has seen it, it adds nothing to this story, and everybody here knows who and what he is...so how many more times are you going to post that just to get your oar into an unrelated thread? Is that the only bookmark you have on your computer, or are you simply unable to come up with anything else interesting? How about getting off your backside and doing a little research? Otherwise you remain a one-trick pony. You are a condescending, not too bright, badly informed misogynist. Look it up.
Does this mean you're leaving the country?
Here - let me help you pack...
“Latinos wont “ is a clear case of profiling by Gutierrez.
That’s the big joke. What he really means to say is “illegal aliens won’t accept.” Latinos who are here legally have no more to fear from E-verify than anyone else.
Got an earful from a Latino at Lowes yesterday. Came here legally; became Naturalized; works for a living; votes Conservative; son in the service.
Virulently anti-illegals; so much so that he almost made us seem soft on the issue.
He’s not the only one we’ve met; not by a long shot.
Go torture your poor husband.
Not as terrible as being a jerk.
Good, one more reason for you to GET THE F#@& OUT!!!!
They already get a pass on DUIs so why not on this.
PMS is a terrible thing. Go torture your poor husband.
The best way to tell when you've won an argument with a buffoon is when the personal attacks start. They make remarks like this that have nothing to do with the issue at hand because they have no merits to put forth.
Misogynist indeed! Paging pissant...LOL!
Smart states will do this. Now can this be done by referendum?
“Won’t accept?” What does that mean?
Of course the hyphenated-separatists won't abide by US laws---they get their orders from Mexico, Central and South America. The Third World they exist in on US soil has its own ways.
These anti-American criminals consider the United States an invader state---a foreign power imposed on Third World hellholes. They arrogantly refuse to refer to the US by its legal name. The US is known by Mexicans as el Norte, (“the North”), el Otro Lado (“the Other Side”), or Gringolandia (the “Anglo Entity”).
The disturbed left’s identity politics with its propensity to separate and balkanize America moves ahead apace with the era of Obama. You remember Obama? The post-racial president that was supposed to “heal” America? Yeah, that one.
Latinos won’t accept mandatory United States law WRT E-Verify system ...Little Luis needs a Cranial PET scan(1). Or maybe just his hearing checked.
He seems to not have heard that's it's the LAW and has been upheld by SCOTUS. Or he has brain damage and he just can't comprehend it (maybe it's a Tumor?).
(1) PET Scans are more effective than an MRI or CT scan for finding little things wrong (tumors) with your brain (the little buggers can hide anywhere). And with his Health Coverage - he can afford it. /s
