America’s elected officials are becoming less sheepish about their blatant disregard of the voters and the Constitution. This is evidential in Representative Luis Gutierrez’s (left) demand that President Obama decree amnesty for illegal aliens through executive order, circumventing Congress and ignoring the will of the American people.
The Hot Joints writes:
Liberal Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez gave a shrill speech [see video below] in which he demanded that Obama install immigration “reform” by executive order. He used the same old tired canards to describe why must have “reform” now. He talked about kids coming home to find their illegal alien parents missing. He talked of neighborhoods being “terrorized” by ICE.During his impassioned speech, Gutierrez declared that the “system isn’t working” and accused the federal government of being insensitive to the 4 million American citizen children born to illegal alien parents:
“Does the federal government wake up and say, ‘let me see how I can get them better healthcare?’ Does the federal government wake up in the beginning of the day and say ‘how do I get them some better education? Better housing? No! The federal government wakes up each and every day and tries to figure out how to take their moms and dads away. That’s wrong and it needs to stop!”
Bemoaning the failure of the federal government to pass the DREAM Act, Gutierrez said, “We passed the DREAM Act in the House of Representatives 216 to 198; We actually passed it under normal circumstances in the Senate; We got 54 out of 100…And yet {the DREAM Act} is not the law of the land.”
Gutierrez’s solution is to circumvent Congress and achieve immigration reform by way of executive order:

But not “La Raza” - HIS people. Gutierrez seems to be the Eric Hoilder of the Hispanic community.
Just try that and kiss 2012 bye bye
If you think people are angry now, just do it.
If it were up to me Luis Guitierrez would be expelled from the House and indicted for treason.
He is engaged in a criminal conspiracy on the behalf of foreign criminals. He consistently violates his oath of office to defend the US Constitution.
Seriously, except for being a spy or an agent of a foreign government in time of war, you can’t get more treacherous than than Guitierrez.
Am I the only one that would like to see this Gutierrez guy hog-tied and put on an innertube floating south across the Rio Grande? I can’t watch him in a TV interview anymore. My blood begins to boil.
He does that. God Help Us. Shiola will hit the fan.
The danger here is that Obama could do this and it might be legal.Immigration status and the punishments associated with illegal status are federal law. Obama could issue a blanket pardon for anyone who has violated federal immigration law, as Carter did for the draft dodgers and deserters, and as Ford did for Nixon BEFORE any specific charges had been filed.I would bet he is asking Holder and guys like Laurence Tribe, right now, if this would play legally.
[Sorry. Correction. Let it not be said that I misspelled the name of one of the Ruling Class, peace be upon his name.]
I can guarantee you are not the only one!
