Thread: Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-18 TX) babbles on immigration reform

Excerpt:
[Discussion of New York's "stop and frisk" procedure affecting a disproportionate percentage of minorities.]....
....Immigration reform is not something we should be frightened about. We should grab it and make it ours and make it work for us as it works for those who are seeking a better life. Now let me just pose why you should look to this, uh, if you can't bring yourself to, uh, use the terminology civil rights, uh, then use the terminology human rights and human dignity. For I would compare two disparate situations which will hopefully turn the light bulb on - Arizona, there might be some of our constituents saying, go ahead, right on. But if you understand what the Arizona law says, and thank you NAACP, it says that if you as a police officer, police state that we are fighting against [voices: "Yes." "That's right."], all the places that we look askance and say oh my goodness, look what they're doing in Sudan. But if you are in Arizona the police officer has a right, if they have reasonable suspicion, and I am strong supporter of law enforcement, I'm on the Judiciary, I want them to be treated fairly, but every human being has the ability to have human error....so if they have reasonable suspicion, uh, masterful attorney, they can stop you, they can ask you papers that you left at home because you were going to Seven Eleven, they can arrest you criminally and immigration in the United States is a civil responsibility, it is not a criminal responsibility unless you are someone who perpetrated a criminal act, but they can arrest you criminally, put you in jail and throw you out of the country....

Shelia Jackson and her bizarre rant, is clear and convincing evidence as to why all elected representatives should be subjected to random drug testing.

they can ask you papers that you left at home because you were going to Seven Eleven, they can arrest you criminally and immigration in the United States is a civil responsibility.

Good point...perhaps it's her constituents who need to be drug tested....

JUST ENFORECE CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS. NO AMNESTY NEVER.

Isn't she the same idiot that insulted one of her constituents at a town hall meeting by talking on her cell phone and ignoring her question about health care?

Barbara Jordan, the first black american female elected to congress came from this district and she opposed illegal immigration.
