House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said congressional Republicans will have to pass immigration reform if they ever want the GOP to retake the White House.
“I believe that the members of Congress, many more than are directly affected themselves by the number of Hispanics in their district, will do what is right for our country,” Pelosi (Calif.) said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And it’s certainly right — for the Republicans, if they ever want to win a presidential race.”

Pelosi said she’s “very optimistic” that comprehensive immigration reform will pass “before long, and certainly this year.”
The onus is now on the Republican-led House, after the Democratic-led Senate overwhelmingly passed its bill Thursday. House Speaker John Boehner said last week that any type of immigration legislation to come to the House floor must have the approval of the majority of congressional Republicans.
“We wouldn’t even be where we are right now had it not been that 70 percent of Hispanics voted for President Obama, voted Democratic in the last election,” Pelosi said. “That caused an epiphany in the Senate, that’s for sure. So, all of a sudden now, we have already passed comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate. That’s a big victory.”

72% of Americans disagree Nazi
Do you mind if we take notes, Nana?
Pelosi means: If they pass it, RATS will rule forever.
It’s obvious the republicans are taking her advice. That shows just how stupid they are.
Given also, the Republican elite shunning Sarah Palin, we need a party grounded in principle, a Sarah Palin led party.
Something smells very fishy, and I have a deviated septum; so it must be real stinky to those with better noses.
Quick, all you GOPe readers, Take this advice!!!
Nancy is soooo concerned that you win future elections, that she has given you her, reserved for the insiders, best possible advice!
That windbag old hag giving advice to the GOP. The problem is so many half wit GOP senators believe her.
Liar
The truth is, what she meant to say was, If Republicans Pass Immigration They Will Never Win The White House Again.
It’s so sweet of her to advise the republican leaders, and it’s so clever of the GOP leadership to take her advice.
Wanting to win the White House is one thing but winning legislative POWER is imperative!
Conservatives have to keep the Congress and try to win the Senate also....
Democrates basically are inviting German Nazis in exchange for White House. What premature celebration, indeed, because they still are hiding the fact that foreigners already own the White House with Obama. Pelosi and RInos are clueless.
So Nancy using that logic, you would be against amnesty!
If we must give this country away to keep it, then I don’t want it.
“And, why would the GOP take political advice from the likes of Nancy Pelosi in the first place?”
simple ... they are morons
“FU, Nancy... Republicans have won the WH without it, you moron...”
Be nice.. Nancy has more balls (or ovaries) and is tougher in standing and fighting for her principles than 99% of the real linguini spine morons...republicans
Other than that your right however, as long as you don’t mean to say a conservative won. Republican yes.. conservative.. nope. Only conservative to win in the last 40 years is Ronald Reagan.
Sarah said she will take conservatives out of the R party if they pass this bill. I guess either way they lose. /s
And if they pass the bill, they not only never win the White House, but they won’t even win back the house (or the senate).
