Schumer predicts mass demonstrations if House blocks path to citizenship By Alexander Bolton - 06/23/13 10:00 AM ET
A senior Democratic senator predicted Sunday there could be massive demonstrations in Washington if House Republicans try to block a bill to grant legal status to millions of immigrants.
Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the lead Democratic sponsor of the Senate immigration reform bill, said House Republicans would likely spark massive civil rights rallies if they try to quash measures to create a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.
“This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement. I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship — if there’s no path to citizenship, there’s not a bill — but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.
Schumer has counted about 67 votes for the Senate immigration bill and believes close to 70 will support final passage later this week.
“I do believe that having a significant number of Republicans will change the dynamic in the House. Individual Congress members from red districts, if they see their senators voted for it and they decide to do the right thing, there will be huge pressure on [Speaker John] Boehner [R-Ohio] not to block immigration reform,” said Schumer.
Schumer predicted that Boehner will have to bring legislation very similar to the Senate bill to the House floor, even if a majority of his conference would not support it.
“He will have no choice as the pressure mounts over the summer,” Schumer added.
He said Boehner would have to abandon the so-called Hastert Rule and bring legislation granting legal status to millions of illegal immigrants even if less than half of the House GOP conference is willing to vote for it.
So what if there are mass demonstrations. What’s Schumer’s point?
I’ll skip the profanity..........
Let the bill burn...............
BURN BABY BURN!!!....DISCO INFERNO!!!

I hope he is right, and I hope they all bring Mexican flags like they did before !!
that would be the end of it right then and there.
"According to ‘The Hawk’ from Steve Quayle’s Survive2Thrive radio network and Hawks FEMA/DHS sources, FEMA called an emergency meeting this week in which it has notified the heads of all of its agencies to be ’90% battle strength’ in the next 5 weeks, 70% strength within 7 days and notified him that all agency personel are now being called in and activated. Additionally, Hawk’s sources warn to expect some type of a ‘domestic event’ within 10 to 14 days with lots of ‘chatter’ surrounding July 3rd."
I have no idea who this "The Hawk" guy is, but in light of Schumer's pronouncement and the desire to "do something" on "immigration" by July 4, it would seem to make sense.
Imagine a large Norte Americano counter march on Mexico City demanding Mexico change its laws to require them to give any American instant Mexican citizenship and 40 acres of land. That would have them scratching their heads.
Weve already suffered through those for years...
riots in our American streets by organized mobs of illegal aliens and their enabling co-conspirators arent anything new...
Oh please Chuckie we want those illegals marching
Yes great idea !
Yes front page news !
Spread the word
It’s a great idea Chuckie
“Look at who REALLY suffers if this bill passes: unions union WORKERS.”
Of course.
But look at how perfectly the liberal scum are playing this.
The Republicans, who never receive any appreciable union votes, will now have to stop the bill. Meaning damnation from the minorities, and no thanks whatsoever from the union workers.
The liberals will keep winning as long as we let them keep pulling these win/win scams.
this schumer is a anti american thug....
“It is long past time for us to counter demonstrate.”
Our demonstartions are too polite and law abiding; they don’t frighten the tyrants.
Maybe it’s time for us to riot? Melt the tar and gather the feathers? Throw the tea into the harbor?
Sounds like a terrorist threat to me.
With progressive collectivists like schumer, it’s never enough to argue the merits of a bill, but always to resort to extortion by inciting civil war if the bill doesn’t pass.
Very well put. The Dems want that violence.
This human piece of garbage would step over his dead grandmother to shake the hand of an illgal alien who was about to vote. The enemies outside the gate have friends within
They are foreign invaders!
“Is he just dreaming or is that a threat?”
It is a PROMISE he will make it happen.
The problem is that tens of millions of “conservative” voters favor this immigration sellout. These voters keep nominating liberals.
IIRC, he is the one the instigated the bank run on Washington Mutual that caused them to go bankrupt. All to the advantage of his Wall St. supporters.
