House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined hundreds of families Saturday evening at a church in San Francisco's Mission District demanding an end to the immigration raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.

House Speaker Pelosi is on a nation wide tour with the Hispanic Caucus calling for amnesty. If you have been here 2 days or 2 hundred years it makes no difference to Pelosi.

[Joe Boucher]

Course she is.
Illegals vote for dems in elections already.
Imagine how they will vote once they are all made legal.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“an end to the immigration raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.”

Then,,, for the good of the family,,,deport the whole bunch!

[Lobbyist]

Prosecutors in every jurisdiction in this country break families up daily. Yet I don't see Pelosi on a national tour to end that practice.

[RegulatorCountry]

Fine, end the fiction that children born on US soil to noncitizens are automatically citizens, and keep these families intact for deportation.

What sort of parent leaves a child behind for money, anyway? Isn’t that what’s driving the whole thing, government benefits?

Who would leave their parents behind.

[SERE_DOC]

So much for keeping the oath, to support and defend the constitution.

What a pantload

“If you have been here 2 days or 2 hundred years it makes no difference to Pelosi.”

Nore should it to us, the difference is legality! lets stay on a focused message because this is an issue we can with with if we do so. Right now all those ‘jobs Americans wont do’ look really good so lets focus on that shall we.

[OCCASparky]

A horrible interpretation of the 14th Amendment and we’re stuck with them. No matter how bad our economy gets, don’t believe the hype of the MSM. For every one that goes back to Mexico or wherever, hundreds take their place.

[SampleMan]

Who would leave their parents behind.

That should read "children".

I agree; no more anchor babies getting automatic citizenship if the mother is a criminal squatter and not a U.S. Citizen. Then, keep the whole tribe together by deporting the ENTIRE ILLEGAL BUNCH.

[Soothesayer]

“run counter to a country where early Irish, Italian, Asian and African American families founded some of the country’s most important institutions.”

The difference is that they came here LEGALLY and did not ship money back to Ireland, Italy, and Asia. Also, African Americans were not the same type of immigrant. Going over sea chained up and piled up in a cargo hold doesn’t count.

This issue makes me particularly angry because my sister-in-law worked very hard to become a legal immigrant and millions of illegals are getting what amounts to amnesty. It’s all backwards.

[Cheerio]

They will self deport - follow AZ lead in enforcing workplace sanctions strip businesses of their license to operate if caught.

[xcamel]

I guess we can no longer send anyone to prison anymore then... because it “splits up the families”

[TCats]

Increase the value of ‘Anchor’ babies even more. Look for an influx of pregnant Illegals and once he birth happens, viola, Pelosi says all can stay. Gotta love it.

BTW, She (Pelosi) is truly and ignorant Human Being and it is deeply disturbing that any amount of conniving and corruption could propel someone of her fiber to the Office she now holds. I feel this way about most who have held the Office of Speaker.

[AuntB]

I wonder what the reaction will be when Pelosi or Obama announce that millions are coming over the border as refugees because of the war in Mexico.

[4Speed]

A congressional Reporesentative demanding that Immigration laws NOT be enforced ? Looks like she can’t get the VOTES in Congress, so whe’s taking to the Streets.

Hey Pelosi, The Tea Parties are going to put up Signs just for you.
Pelosi, MOVE TO MEXICO (please)

[paul51]

raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.

Take your kids with you, please

[Jaidyn]

Maybe Pelosi ought to visit the borders, and spend time there talking to illegals and border patrol officers. She had the guts to finally visit Iraq, but can’t sum up the courage to visit other dangerous spots, including her own country.

[Ev Reeman]

Pelosi soft on illegal immigration.

Pelosi soft on crime.

Pelosi soft on terrorism.

Pelosi soft headed.
