Democrat Rep. Gutierrez Calls ICE Agents "Gestapo"
August 08, 2008 11:44 AM EST

by Jim Kouri - Adopting the rhetoric of the radical left, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) explicitly compared the actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to those of Nazi Germany's most infamous secret police force, the Gestapo.

In response to that despicable comparison, the Federation for American Immigration Reform is joining officials of the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Association of Chiefs of Police in condemning Mr. Gutierrez's statement as an affront to law enforcement agencies and the rule of law.

Congressman Gutierrez has been a long-time proponent of amnesty and opponent of immigration enforcement. He even went so far recently as to openly call for a suspension of all such immigration enforcement actions until Congress passes "comprehensive" immigration reform. However, in an article appearing in the online publication The Politico on Aug. 6, Gutierrez lowered himself to using inflammatory rhetoric simply unacceptable for a member of Congress. "You know who is in charge now? The Gestapo agents at Homeland Security. They are in charge," Gutierrez told The Politico.

"Every American should be offended and outraged by comparisons between our dedicated public servants risking their lives every day to enforce our immigration laws and the Nazi secret police, no matter who is making the comparison. That such a vile statement was made by a member of Congress is truly reprehensible and irresponsible," said Dan Stein, president of FAIR.

In recent months ICE has increased its efforts to enforce laws against the employment of illegal aliens. In addition to arresting people for violations of U.S. immigration law, ICE has also taken action against people involved in identity theft and the employment of underage workers.

"ICE actions have been entirely legitimate and carried out in a professional manner in an effort to deal with a national illegal immigration crisis," said Stein. "Such a reckless comparison to the Gestapo borders. In making such comparisons, Congressman Gutierrez is providing license for people to resist by any means necessary.

"FAIR joins with DHS Assistant Secretary Julie Myers in demanding that the House leadership take action against Representative Gutierrez. His statement deserves the strongest possible condemnation from his colleagues," Stein concluded.

The 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police also condemned the lawmaker's lack of respect for men and women working in law enforcement -- people who put their lives on the line each and every day.

Times like this you'd like to give him a taste of what the gestapo is really like so he won't be confused anymore.

Great point CB!!

That's what really gets me over this kind of crap coming from the pro-illegals and even the IAs themselves.

Not a single one of them have the slightest of clues of the reality of the Gestapo, concentration camps, ethnic cleansing, etc. and yet they have the unmitigated gall to do this?

For instance, that interpretor....a Spanish professor, no less.....being able to give his alleged "expert" testimony as to the "concentration camp" he witnessed after the Postville raid. What in the living hell was up with THAT?

And then to hear the IAs.......admittedly a group of people with little to no education, people we are told who are not intelligent enough to know they are committing crimes by stealing identities, etc.......going on and on about Gestapo and the rest. What do they even know about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust if they are so illiterate?

This should not, and cannot, be permitted to continue.

And it's not just Gutierrez who needs censured by Congress. They can start with Obama and go right down a whole list

I 100% agree.......it's always to the extreem. They are "terriorized"....they are "slaves".......they are "abused".......they "cower in their homes in fear".....on down the line. It's like please......can the drama coz you don't have a clue what you're talking about. My husbands always saying "hiding in the shadows", "trembling in fear"....sure doesn't look like that to me.....unless of course I'm stuck in the "shadows" with them.......if that's the case....show me the light!
