Bribery?????? Wouldn’t this be the same as saying.....”I won’t pay you off if you don’t do this.”?

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.
Simon Cameron
US financier & politician (1799 - 1889)

So either 0 is not an honest Chicago politician
or Luis is a silly puta for trusting him.
I’m thinking both.

Sounds like blackmail to me. Oooops, is that racist?

Whatever it is, we will need popcorn.

The few legal latinos I have spoken with are totally against amnesty.

That's because they busted their tail to get here legally and it is just wrong to jump the line. I've heard the same from Indians and Africans. One African told me Americans are crazy to tolerate demonstrations by illegals. In any other nation, they would have been thrown in jail, including Mexico.

Someone still needs to corner/force these "leaders" to answer the question of why Mexico can't provide jobs/welfare for their own people, when Mexico is a rich nation?

“They want it NOW.”

The war in Afghanistan is heating up now and we may need a draft to get enough cannon fodder. And we can't draft illegals so we need them to become legal so they are eligible for the draft.

Infantry: FOLLOW ME!

These people are absolute criminals.

Why are legal immigrants who wait for years and OBEY the law being treated worse than criminals? This is anarchy.

A congressman from the president’s home state is threatening that he will urge Latino voters to stay home this November if the Democratic Party does not make a concerted effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Thereby giving Obama political cover for what he would have done anyway.

[Gay State Conservative]

And to think the republicans could have had 'em...

No way.Victimhood is PC.Victimhood is profitable.Imagine...a Party that demands that US Immigration/Residency/Citizenship laws be ignored.Yes,the Republican Party might appeal to the handful of fully legal and "legitimate" Hispanic voters (legitimate meaning ones who weren't dropped in some border town by a mother who,an hour before,was swimming across the Rio Grande) but nobody else.

[the invisib1e hand]

they were up for grabs. they could have been appealed to with reason. the republicans got all hot and bothered about “ ‘leeguls” and gave them to the dems to exploit.

[no dems]

he will urge Latino voters to stay home this November

Bull S***. I'll believe it when I see it. Obama will bring him to the White House for breakfast, serve him some Huevos Rancheros and some Huevos con Chorizo and schmooze him and he'll fall down and lick Obama's shoes and fall right into line

[Buckeye McFrog]

It is all coming unglued for the Dems.

They cannot continue to spin all of their various and disparate interest groups. All are demanding payback before the next election cycle, and that is something Barry can't possibly deliver. Will be fun to watch him try though.

Gutierrez was a lead co-sponsor, along with Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), of the sweeping bill that passed the Senate in 2006 before stalling amid a conservative revolt in 2007......

A conservative revolt?.....Ain’t seen nothing yet!!!

[avacado]

If all the current legal welfare recipients knew that their welfare benefits will decrease once 30 million illegals become legal and get on the welfare train, then they'd be against this amnesty. Maybe someone should tell them... ;-)

[Lurker]

Will be fun to watch him try though.

Since whatever it is he's going to try to deliver is going to come out of my hide I'm not sure 'fun' is the word I'd pick.

[no dems]

Let’s see, we are 6 1/2 months away from Election Day. Does anyone think this is enough time for them to push through Amnesty (code word: Immigration Reform).

If they do push it through, Republicans may never again be in the Majority in Congress or occupy the White House.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

Nice. One Chicago street punk shaking down another.

“they were up for grabs”

.........Therefore, P is true.

Too bad we can't hear their voices as much as we do the illegal aliens.

[Altura Ct.]

Yet many whites and the Tea Party run around in circles over ‘racism’.
