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.”

B) What makes you think Republicans even WANT to win The White House?
3:1 that the GOP-e nods their head in agreement.

Based on the nearly unassailable premise that one should always do the opposite of what Nancy Pelosi says... you can take it from there.
...and republicans agree. Forward.

Jews answer their patriotic call to register all guns...later to turn them in to the Nazi regime.
Dem propaganda = Nazi propaganda.
And, why would the GOP take political advice from the likes of Nancy Pelosi in the first place?
Because they are the junior branch of the Democrat party.
DoughtyOne: Republican Will Pass Immigration If They nEver Want to Win White House
They will get back in and hopefully over her dead body.
I was just thinking the same thing. Brain dead GOP will go along with her good advice.
Corrected statement ....
Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Will Pass Immigration If They NEVER Want to Win White House
There...fixed it.
And the GOP, being stealth democrats, will hurry to her bidding..
FU, Nancy... Republicans have won the WH without it, you moron...
First Chuck Schumer, now Nancy Pelosi.
let me predict something. Nancy Pelosi will tear off her mask on July 4, 2013, and underneath will be a lizard — a very old and ugly lizard. Then we’ll know why she acts like she despises all human beings.Then she’ll celebrate Obamacare because she knows it will kill the most people as fast as possible without people really understanding what happened.
Nancy being helpful to the Pubbies. Yeah, right. About as helpful as Schumer.
It is amazing show many of these Dems are so concerned for the Republican Party.
If we don’t grant amnesty to 20 million illegals and invite 10’s of millions of their relatives to join them, we will die as a political party.
That won’t win them the WH, Pelosi and you know it.
As a matter of fact it will take them much further from the WH than they’ve ever been.
The amnestied won’t be voting Republican and the base will stop voting for Republicans too.
The Republican party will be finished if they pass amnesty.
It will be sad but it also will be satisfying to watch the shock of the idiot GOP-e’s.
I will laugh at the big corporates that pushed (paid) for this crap, too.
There will be no more Republicans and the demonrats will nationalize their too big to fail corporate butts.
One day when we’ve all hurt enough, maybe things can change.
How nice to have all this free advice from dems on how to win elections.
