Gutierrez: House has enough votes for immigration reform: “Now we need to get it done”
NBC Latino ^ | 07/22/2013 | Brian Latimer

Posted on 07/23/2013 4:47:21 PM PDT by Ray76

Illinois Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez, one of the seven House members working on a bipartisan immigration reform proposal, spoke before the National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR‘s) immigration town hall during the organization’s annual convention, saying he believes the House has enough legislators to support a reform bill.

“We found the 50 Republicans needed to pass immigration reform, now we need to get it done,” said Gutierrez. The Congressman urged Boehner to let this group of Republicans join Democrats and not insist on a majority support for reform, like he is insisting on.

They are trying to distract us again with the IRS scandal that will go nowhere along with Obamcare again.


I thought the Trayvon Martin trial was the distraction.

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

If Boner lets this come up for a vote he will not need to worry about being Primaried, he’ll need tar and feather insurance and he knows it.

Dems have blocked reform for decades by preventing enforcement and done very well among Hispanic voters.

They continue to block reform by preventing enforcement and continue to do well with those voters.

What a great gig!

That can not be said enough.

There's supposed to be a fence. Where is it?

NO BILL! ENFORCE EXISTING LAW

Here are the Bonehead traitor committee K street stooges
Bonehead
Gowdy
Carter
Cantor
Ryan
Kennedy
Issa
Goodlatte

Please tell me what you know about Carter, preferably with links I can post on his facebook page. He is my Rep.

I know he is in the House "Gang of 7," but claims he will not vote for a path-to-citizenship.

The reason it now 7 members and now more Dems than GOP is because one of the GOPer walked because they were including amnesty.

Carter alongside with most of the Tx Goo are owned by the HEB billionaire and cheap labor construction lobby.
Just google him and lobbyists.
It’s ugly.

Yeah I agree it .

That was a Dem inspired one.

This IRS thing is going nowhere ?
What ever happen to the Fast and Furious ?
Nothing .

Issa and Gowdy think we can be fooled with these carnival acts.
These two are working with Obama and Dems behind closed doors.

This is all about keeping the K st and Silicon Valley billionaires happy.

Yes I knew that. Gutierrez, who is also in the gang of 7, went on univision and said there is a path-to-citizenship in the House immigration bill.

So I called Carter's Washingtom DC office and asked why Carter wants to be in a group with Gutierrez, whose statement contradicts Carter's stated position that he opposed a path-to-citizenship. They mumbled something about working with Dems, but also promised that he will keep his promise to oppose a path-to-citizenship. I stressed that I take that promise very seriously.

In fact, I told them I thought passing any immigration bill is playing with fire. But my thinking is that any bill with citizenship is very easy for a conference committee to merge with the senate bill.

Carter alongside with most of the Tx Goo are owned by the HEB billionaire and cheap labor construction lobby. Just google him and lobbyists.

I found a contribution from HEB to Carter, but it was 83rd on the list. He may be involved with some evil lobbyists, but I don't see much of a case involving HEB.

It’s sadly obvious they all have folded including Carter.
Any bill lets the senate win and they know it.
Now, the GOP are attacking Rep King , a fellow GOPer today.
Sorry to see the Carter staff are lying to your face.

HEB uses a number of groups to hide there donations.
My brother in law is involved in TX politics and said its pathetic how the slave labor lobbyists run the state and HEB family are huge.

Go read the site Vdare .
They track all this disaster

It’s gong to get ugly
Howdy and Issa are holding a phony committee hearing stacked full of Larzaz props victim kids .
Issa who is a nasty piece of work just got a boat load of cash from the Silicon Valley slave labor billionaires .

ok, I just heard Mark Levin’s show and he gave the details of the guys you posted. Wow. Changes my entire view of these hearings. I think you may be right.

Now that I think about it, no one has been charged with any crime as a result of these hearings. No Republican on these committees are demanding the DOJ bring criminal complaint.

No special prosecutor.

You’ve made your point, ncalburt.

Let’s pass a bill to secure the border and see how that works.”

You must have missed Janet’s speech today. She visited the border at Brownsville and it’s safer and more secure than ever. There is just superb cooperation between agencies on both sides of the border. We’ve nothing to worry about. /s/

What I would like for her to do is to go into Mexico all by herself unannounced in an unmarked car and spend a day or two driving in the interior of Mexico. Or maybe talk to the thirteen-year-old that was raped by the ten illegals on our side of the border.

There’s 1 and a half more weeks until the Summer Recess for Congress. If we get there with no bill from the House we have a chance to stop Amnesty. hope we can run out the clock. burn the phone lines down. no immigration related bill from the House at all as any bill will be merged with the Senate Amnesty bill.
