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.
“Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.”
Yeah cheap labor the taxpayers will help fund with benefits to supplement wages paid by business leaders, so- called evangelical leaders and high tech companies.
Has Schumer EVER been out of New York?
Haven’t read all the posts, as there are many.
But, my 2 cents, things aren’t as good as they’re making them sound. So, what does one do? Make threats about the apocalypse.
Want to squash the demonstrations? Organize about 10 or 20 thousand folks. Have them go to the mall/flea market and get some green, INS hats or Border Patrol hats, some green jackets and have them show up. It’ll look like the zombies in WWZ when they start running thru DC. Don’t believe me, just watch:

Why is everyone soooooo hung up on the Mexicans/Latinos?
I’m not saying I want them. But, lets not forget about all the people of Middle Eastern and Islamic descent that have been relocated to the US in the past 11 or 12 years. They have taken over entire towns and portions of cities. Does anyone think that if this passes, the Palestinians, etc won’t be on the first think smoking to become US citizens? They get to take advantage of this too. And they breed like rabbits, too. Pretty soon, places like Paterson NJ, Dearborn Mich, Maine, NY, will have bonafide, radical Muslims, representing them in the US Congress.
Wake the F**K UP
Here’s the kind of ‘demonstrations’ I suggest. From my home page...

Whenever an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or something similar, here’s what I recommend:
What can we do about it? Here’s my standard post.
RICO —Citizen Recourse
Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.
Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.
RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.
In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens like this jerk.
Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.
[“He will have no choice as the pressure mounts over the summer,” Schumer added.]
If this thing passes Schumer is going to have to answer to the unions. Despite what big labor bosses say, the rank and file are scared to death of this boondoggle. Wages will drop and current U.S. workers will be replaced by cheaper Mexican/American dreamers.
Yet last week two conservative groups needed a permit to meet up at protest together in Washington, D.C....
What a mess!
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt but protects the corrupt from you, it’s over.
Then it will be a good day for ICE to round them all up and bus them all back across the border...
Yep, that’s pretty much what it is. And our fellows who have air time should be screaming it from the rooftops. I cannot believe how much crap comes out, almost on a daily basis, that makes me feel like I’m in the twilight zone.
This moron is actually coming out and trying to coerce a ruling based upon a threat of uprising. And no not uprising by Americans but by those foreign born. This to me does not sound like a government that is in control. This sounds to me like one that needs to be (peaceably of course) thrown over and replaced with true leaders with guts who have the AMERICAN peoples backs!
With you on that.
I think such demonstrations will only hurt the illegals.
If they are violent, people will be even more against the illegals.
If they are taunting and full of attitude, people will see the disrespect for our people and wonder why these folks think they deserve to be rewarded for breaking our laws.
If they are peaceful, people will still wonder why these folks think they deserve to be rewarded for breaking our laws.
And Lucifer put forth his Guide To Grammar and Punctuation.
Civil unrest among the illegal invaders will not help the cause of the Amnesty bill.
Good point.
It sounds like that is what he is trying to do, at least to me.
