Treason Lobby Triumphant: Speaker Pelosi Boards Gutierrez Amnesty Express

By Brenda Walker

St Anthony's Catholic Church in San Francisco's Mission district rang with chants of "Si se puede" Saturday evening, as Rep. Luis Gutierrez's Magical Amnesty Tour rolled through town, featuring illegal alien sob stories in an open bid to undermine American law and sovereignty.

I was there.

And a surprise guest showed up to join in the message of "No more raids!"... none other than Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appearing in her home district.

Apparently the #3 person in Washington values a worker amnesty enough to spend her valuable time supporting foreign lawbreakers.

She hugged the appealing kiddies who told family sob stories, chanted along with "Si se puede", and condemned immigration officers doing their jobs.

The audience, which I estimated to be around 300, about 90 percent Hispanic and Spanish speaking, was thrilled.

The kids were the opening act of the evening after preliminary prayers in Spanish for the long-suffering "undocumented." Little nine-year old Ivan Torres led off, saying that he wanted to be an FBI agent when he grows up…so he could catch the "real criminals."

That argument was a main theme—that the kids' parents were not bad guys, but were hard-working and valuable members of society. The topics of job thievery, identity theft and the astronomical employment loss of citizens did not come up.

Incidentally, Ivan's father has not actually been deported. But the family worries that its breadwinner, an office janitor, might be repatriated someday.

Even an imaginary sob story counts big in today's victimology-crazed liberal talking points. Ivan "lives in fear" according to the press—but whose fault is that?

Rep. Gutierrez delivered his spiel (well practiced on his 16-city tour), promising to appeal to President Obama about the plight of mixed families, as if plopping out a couple of anchor babies should put lawbreaking parents outside the bounds of immigration justice.

That notion would surprise the many inmates of prisons throughout the country, who have been separated from their children because of criminal prosecutions.

There was little local reporting of the event. Pelosi's appearance earlier that day promoting a few dozen green jobs that might come from Washington stimulus money got more attention.

Without workplace immigration enforcement, thousands of citizens and legal immigrants would be out of work. But honesty about the illegal influx is rare among local journalists of the Left Coast. Remember that the San Francisco government makes city ID cards available to foreigners, and a supervisor (David Campos) brags on his official website about being an illegal alien.

Last year, the city advertised its official sanctuary status, so that more lawbreakers would be aware of the generous taxpayer-funded benefits available to them.

But even given the ultra-liberal environment, isn't it news when the Speaker declares her disdain for the laws and sovereignty she has sworn to protect?

With more than 4 million jobs lost since December 07, the Speaker should reasonably be expected to support citizen workers first and foremost. But she does not. Her constituents and the rest of America have a right to know why not.

The San Francisco Chronicle produced the requisite puff piece about the event, Pelosi: End raids splitting immigrant families. [By Kelly Zito, March 8, 2009]

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined hundreds of families Saturday evening at a church in San Francisco's Mission District demanding an end to the immigration raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.

“Pelosi, who has said securing U.S. borders is a top priority, used the forum to call for a comprehensive immigration program that recognizes the broad contributions immigrants have made to the fabric of the country.

“'Our future is about our children,' Pelosi told a crowd of mostly Latino families at St. Anthony's Church.â€

There was little local reporting of the event.



That's the good news..........very little media attention of this special interest dog and pony show.

Makes Gutierrez come off looking more like he's campaigning homecoming queen or trying to build an outpouring of support from "the community" to come to his assistance while he's in the hot seat over that corruption business he so "hotly denies" he had any part in

I hope the little creep ends up in prison where he belongs.

If you break into somebody's house and steal their belongings, we lock you up. But if you sneak into this country and take a job which should go to an American, then sneak your family in, we call it "keeping families together."

Even by politicos' standards, pandering to illegals while increasingly desperate Americans are losing the jobs that let them support American families sets a new high for disgusting.

Luis Gutierrez is jockeying for the position to be the first Latino President of the USA. (More crap from Illinios, Sorry folks!)

I think he is competing with the racist nut case on FoxNews, Gerardo Rivera

As for Pelosi, she is a certified nut case loon for a long time, it's just she is running a muck now!

"Even an imaginary sob story counts big in today's victimology-crazed liberal talking points. Ivan "lives in fear" according to the press—but whose fault is that? "

We live in fear, too.

Remember that the San Francisco government makes city ID cards available to foreigners, and a supervisor (David Campos) brags on his official website about being an illegal alien.

What!! Who is this david campos? Is he a supervisor with the city and an illegal invader?

Gross...

Found this at Campos website:Born in Guatemala, David Campos came to the United States with his family when he was 14 years old. An undocumented immigrant who spoke only Spanish, David grew up in the barrio of South Central Los Angeles. He excelled in class, earned scholarships to college and law school, and has remained true to his roots as a progressive civil rights advocate and Democratic leader.

Today, David is a candidate for Supervisor in District 9 - representing the Mission, Bernal Heights and Portola neighborhoods.

A strong schools advocate who found opportunity in his own life through education, David has served as General Counsel to the San Francisco Unified Schools District. He has worked to desegregate San Francisco schools, successfully investigate corruption, and bring open government to the School District.

A progressive Police Commissioner and elected member of the San Francisco Democratic Central Committee, David has fought for public disciplinary hearings for police officers, more foot patrols, and protection for medical marijuana and immigrant rights.

A respected civil rights attorney who has worked closely with the City Attorney's office, David worked on San Francisco's landmark lawsuit against the gun industry and successfully defended the city's right to provide public power against PG&E.



Funny, it doesn't say anywhere when he became a US citizen, as if that was important to one's reaching for idolism.

The pig with lipstick is way out of line now.

Gutierrez denies allegations at City Hall corruption trial
Posted by Dan Mihalopoulos at 5:59 p.m.

U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) today angrily denied sworn federal court testimony placing him at meeting that led to the creation of the scandal-scarred Hispanic Democratic Organization.

The statement by the congressman came a day after former HDO operative Roberto Medina testified during a City Hall corruption trial.

Medina, who has immunity from prosecution, said Gutierrez was at a meeting in the early 1990s with Mayor Richard Daley's brother, William, and top Daley campaign strategist Timothy Degnan. Medina said they urged him to organize support for Daley in North Side Latino neighborhoods, spawning what became known as "HDO North."

In a statement today, Gutierrez said: "I'd sue for slander, given that I was never at the meeting, but the settlement would be about as worthless as the witness' memory."

In recent years, Gutierrez has heavily criticized HDO and considered challenging Daley for mayor in 2007. But he did not run for mayor and eventually gave Daley a glowing endorsement.

"Given its history, it should never have existed," Gutierrez said of HDO. "I think they wanted to be god-like and omnipotent."

Medina's testimony mentioning Gutierrez came at the trial of Al Sanchez, the former Streets and Sanitation Commissioner accused of rigging city hiring in favor of effective HDO campaign workers.
