Thread: Hispanic leaders blast Senate

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/artic ... st_senate/

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. --A bipartisan group representing more than 5,000 Hispanic officials called the Senate's decision to drop an immigration bill Thursday a colossal failure and urged the House to step in.

John Bueno, president of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, promised to keep fighting for an immigration law that would provide security for the nation while resolving the status of roughly 12 million illegal immigrants.

"We now call on the U.S. House of Representatives and the White House to take on this issue and finish the job that the Senate did not," Bueno said.

Incoming NALEO President Adolfo Carrion Jr., the president of New York City's Bronx borough, acknowledged the House in the past also has been unwilling to pass legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

"It's a new House. The history of this House should not be judged by the past," he said, referring to the new Democratic majority. "Whenever there is a vacuum in power, people step up. It's time for the House to step up."

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Pedro Cortes said he was worried the Senate's decision will mean that more local governments will now go forward with ordinances regulating immigration.

"You're going to have people who could live across the street from each other being treated completely differently because they're in one city or another. That's not how it should be," Cortes said.

Some people just don't get it!

These people are so accustom to getting their way. When they are told NO, they throw a fit.

Sorry we little special interest groups, the mighty American Public has spoken and your just going to have to accept it.

Waaaaaaaaa!

Interesting name...carrion...isn't that a vulture? And the status of these people was established when they came across our border...ILLEGAL. That's the status.

And why is it always the hispanic groups yelling? And then when we say it's mostly hispanics swarming our borders, we're racists. Why don't they ever scream about the Irish illegals and their rights???? duh

Bruised pride!

Face the facts! Illegals broke the law and have to leave the country!

America wants law and order restored!

You can't make a right out of a wrong!

If I were here illegally, I think I'd be making plans to head back home NOW!

It is an interesting name...

Sounds a lot like some of our Senators. How many times did the American have to say no and how loud did we have to say it before we won. Like spoiled children, they are targeting talk radio blaming them for telling the public what they were trying to do. It’s no ones fault but their own they lost. Its time we put people into office who can admit to making a bad decision and work to correct it instead of blaming everything and everyone else.

We now call on the U.S. House of Representatives and the White House to take on this issue and finish the job that the Senate did not," Bueno said.

My God! don't they know that the failed bill was the President of USA's bill? That's the highest officer of the land! who else will they go to?
