Thread: Gutierrez vows to push for major immigration reform(amnesty)

Are you sure they are in recess...I heard they will be in session next week from c-span ( don't know if it was the Senate or the House) Unless I heard wrong, We need to know for sure.

Just what we need, another amnesty fight right in the middle of this economic turmoil. Well, the politicians have been emboldened by being re elected, that's all. There's no excuse for Americans to be so stupid as to re elect the likes of Lindsissy Grahamnesty in South Carolina or Murtha in Pennsylvania. Murtha did everything to his constituents just before the election short of talking smack about their mama and they still put this sorry piece of garbage back into that office. I can no longer feel sorry for the stupid sheeple for being out of work or for their standard of living falling to third world level. Those of us who have been fighting this treason all along have tried to save their sorry lazy butts without help from them. Now, if they are made homeless and hungry by the invader who took their job and the politician and corporate elite and globalist who they have refused to stand up against, then so be it. If they're gonna be stupid, they gotta be tough. As for me I will continue to fight for the ideals of America as will the rest of the patriot community.

Hispanic leaders urge Obama to tackle immigration reform
Published: Saturday December 6, 2008

Hispanic leaders urged president-elect Barack Obama to issue a moratorium on immigration raids and deportations at a rally in Chicago Saturday.

"President-elect Barack Obama knows the immigration system is broken and we understand and believe he wants to fix it," said US Representative Luis Gutierrez.

"We're ready to create the political support, the grassroots support that (Obama) needs."

Despite the challenges he faces in dealing with two wars and an economic crisis, it appears as though Obama considers immigration reform a priority, Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez has spoken to Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, four times in the past two weeks and will be meeting with Obama in the coming days to discuss the issue.

"We believe that as we go to the American people and we shatter the myths about our broken immigration system that one of the most powerful symbols we have is the sanctity of marriage ... and that government should not be destroying families" separating family members with deportations, Gutierrez said.

The US Congress failed to pass the most recent version of sweeping immigration legislation in 2007, which would have given legal status and a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States.

Obama had been involved in negotiations over the text and immigration reform earned broad support from both Obama and Republican rival John McCain on the 2008 campaign trail.

But in the final months before the election, immigration swiftly took a back seat to the deepening and more pressing economic crisis.

Immigration rights activists are planning a major march on Washington on January 21, the day after Obama is sworn in as the 44th US president, to call attention back to the issue.

Faith leaders across the country are also getting involved and are inviting families torn apart by deportations to speak to their congregations.

"It's time for a revolution," pastor Freddy Santiago told 1,500 people gathered at Rebano Companerismo Cristiano church in the heart of a mostly Hispanic Chicago neighborhood.

"Enough is enough! We will not allow our families to be separated or oppressed."

Yaritza Viveros, 13, sobbed as she spoke to the Chicago rally of her fears that she could come home from school to find her parents snatched in an immigration raid.

Viveros was born in the United States to undocumented parents and is a US citizen.

"I am young, and am against the terror from immigration," she told the crowd. "Many families are separated because of immigration and we have to stop the raids that destroy our families."

Brian Wilkins, whose family has lived in the United States for generations, also broke down as he spoke of he was forced to move to Buglaria because his wife and her family were being deported.

He said his father and brother in law are being held in a Wisconsin detention center like "criminals" when all they did wrong was pick bad lawyers.

"We as Americans should be able to have the family we love next to us," he said. "It's not just Hispanic people, it's all people who are being affected. Our broken laws should be fixed."

Why is it Americans enforcing our lawfully-passed enforcements are being singled out for splitting up families, when families are being split up all of the time south and north, east and west of our border by one member sneaking into this country for nothing more than financial gain and demanding American taxpayers provide him/her the American dream for free?

Pastor Freddy Santiago said "It's time for a revolution"? HMMMMM

We're ready to create the political support, the grassroots support that (Obama) needs."

Despite the challenges he faces in dealing with two wars and an economic crisis, it appears as though Obama considers immigration reform a priority, Gutierrez said.

We have to let Obama and our elected reps know that the grass roots does not support amnesty and wants our laws enforced, and that if Obama pushes "pathway to citizenship" amnesty schemes, he will be lurching to the far left and going against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans -- especially with 533,000 Americans losing their jobs in the last month alone.

Its no wonder that churches are behind the illegal immigrants. Most of them are Hispanics. Look at who gets to keep coming in and stay:

1986 they gave the amnesty and then stopped enforceing the laws....2008 they want them to stop enforcing the laws first and then give them amnesty....
