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.

That’s OK, they don’t scare me.

It's not a matter of whether you are scared. What matters is whether the House Republicans will be scared. Considering that most of them have and entire DSM-IV full of phobias, you can count on the fact that they will be pants-wettingly scared.

So we better pass amnesty in order to prevent the freeloading criminal invaders from “demonstrating”? Freeloading Senators like Schumer are yellow-bellied cowards and traitors. They hate America and Americans.

No need. The Democrats will be toast in the next election of the country is treated to video of thousands of protestors surrounding the capitol and waving Mexican flags.

The left is evil NOT dumb.

They will make sure the criminal illegal scum will be waving 1000s of American flags. They will play perfectly for the media and LIV.

What upsets me most is that the GOP-e lead by the gutless, POS Boehner will help put the final nail in the coffin of this once great Republic.

If a total collapse happens in the next few years my hope is that Boehner and most of the GOP gets treated much worse than the Romainian response of 12-25-1989.

Schumer could/should be arrested for inciting a riot if, as it appears, he is using this tactic to stir up mobs in case he doesn’t get his way.

FREEPER ACTION ALERT-—DELUGE THE CAPITOL POLICE W/ MESSAGES-—do not issue oermits to groups who threaten US ntl security.

Guide to the DC Permit Process-—as of 9/12/12: some of the MPD sites are not functioning - they are currently changing their website.

Protests of 25 people or more on the National Mall require a permit, as does any event that requires streets to be closed. The Metropolitan Police, because they lost an important court case, are required to allow permit-less marches in the street as long as they stay within a single lane. Demonstrations on public sidewalks are legally permissable without a permit so long as they don’t block the walkway and fewer than 100 people are expected.

If expecting more than 100 people, you can find the permit application at the Metropolitan Police Department’s Get a Permit for a Special Event page. Sidewalks are supposedly public property, but some activists have experienced severe police harassment for protesting outside of private businesses.

Police officials require very specific details about stages, speakers, tents, food, and potential for violence or counter-protests. They will help you to work out the details over a series of meetings, and permits rarely get denied in DC. However, it is best to start early since permits are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis and DC is a popular place to protest.

Who do you talk to? Our city has a lot of different law enforcement groups with different jurisdictions, and the permit process is different depending on where your protest is going to be held.

•For protests on or around the Capitol Buildings, you need to apply for a permit with the Capitol Police. They say to apply at least five days in advance of your activity to guarantee processing, but to allow up to 2 weeks if applying by snail mail.

Capitol Police web site has a map of the Capitol grounds, plus guidelines for permitted activities and steps to get a permit and contact information for the Capitol Police Special Events Unit. For more information, you can also call (202) 224-8891.

•For protests in one of the many parks around the city, including the National Mall, you’ll need to get in touch with the National Park Service. Events with a lot of equipment, sound amplification, food, or participants can require a month or more for the entire permitting process with the NPS, so start early!

Please note that all applications, unless determined to be a First Amendment activity, must be accompanied by a $50.00 payment for initial processing. This office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M., holidays excepted. Call 202-245-4715 to obtain additional information.

•If you’re planning a march and would like a police escort or streets closed, or if you’re having a rally somewhere outside of a park, you should apply for a permit with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

Since the settlement of the court cases stemming from the illegal mass arrest of protesters at the 2002 IMF/World Bank meetings, the MPD is required to allow groups to protest in the street without a permit, as long as they stay in a single lane. They can get a little rough, though, so decide for yourselves what makes the most sense for your event.

For parades, demonstrations, and other permits controlled by the Metropolitan Police Department, you can initiate this notification by completing the appropriate forms and mailing them to the MPDC’s Special Operations Division. You can see a copy of their permit application here (link).

For further information on MPD permits, contact:
• DC Emergency Management Agency, (202) 727-3165
• Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, Special Events Coordinator, (202) 442-4400
• Metropolitan Police Department, Special Events Branch, (202) 727-4635

Accuracy in Media reports that the immigration “reform” bill includes two “slush funds” amounting to $150,000,000 that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come. These funds would go to “public or private, non-profit organizations such as La Raza, Casa de Maryland, and the American Immigration lawyers Association!
These and other organizations are ethno-centric-—devoted to helping illegal immigrants apply for legal status.

The reform bill not only provides amnesty for illegal immigrants, but for their employers. As the Center for Immigration Studies points out, “Illegal aliens will be rewarded for breaking laws for which American citizens are routinely punished” such as the use of fraudulent Social Security cards, while imposing a $1,000 penalty that “in many cases would be waived. Then they would be issued a new Social Security number without any past bad credit or arrest records.”
