CHC Divided on Immigration Reform Strategy

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are struggling to settle on their priorities for the lame-duck session.

CHC leaders are pressing for action on the DREAM Act in the coming weeks, a measure that would give children who are illegal immigrants a path to citizenship if they go to college or join the military. The leaders are lobbying the outgoing Democratic majority to pass that measure — and that measure alone — in the coming weeks. They have the backing of the White House and Congressional Democratic leaders, who have vowed to bring the proposal to the floor for a vote.

But some CHC members insist that now is the time to take on another contentious immigration proposal that has drawn bipartisan support in the past: AgJOBS, which would grant legal status to up to 1 million illegal immigrant farm workers.

CHC members Raul Grijálva (D-Ariz.), Jim Costa (D-Calif.), Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.), Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas) and Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas) are among the more than two dozen lawmakers who called on House Democratic leaders on Monday to pair AgJOBS with the DREAM Act when it comes to the floor.

“While we continue to believe many components of our immigration laws need reform, we agree that some intermediate solution could be helpful. We strongly believe that any such intermediate solution must contain AgJOBS,â€

Illegals enter our country without visas or ovestay. They create the illegal immigration problem. Therefore, the United States must not reward illegal behavior. All illegals must be deported now.

This is NOT about immigration but about demographic hegemony muscle flexing to one day push for an American Canada.

"Their" priorities should be getting packed and returning home.

These "latino" congress critters should be kicked out of the United States,and bounced right Into Mexico. They seem to be more concerned with their own race,whether they are legally here or not. These Idiots are certified traitors to their own country. What a disgrace that these "latinos" are willing to disregard the wishes of the AMERICAN PEOPLE to push an open borders agenda that Is destroying the very fabric of OUR nation. What a slap In the face to all of the war veterans that gave their lives so we could continue to be a free society. They did not make the ultimate sacrifice to make everything all warm and cozy for people Illegally In our country. They laid down their lives for FELLOW AMERICANS that believe In the rule of law,and that respect the AMERICAN FLAG and what It stands for. They did not give their lives so anchor babies could whine and complain because three AMERICAN CITIZENS wore t-shirts with OLD GLORY on them on SINKO- D - MY - YO... I am sooooo sick of all of this B.S,and It will not be long before THE PEOPLE rise up and begin to stop this nonsense by force If need be... I will fight for my country In the streets enough Is enough.
