Luis Gutierrez: "I Have Only One Loyalty."
Newsweek ^ | 11/29/2010 | Arian Campo-Flores

Gutierrez, 56, is the most passionate, tireless, and nettlesome voice in Congress on immigration matters. He’s a constant presence at rallies and on TV, defending the undocumented and railing against xenophobia. It’s no surprise that a recent Pew Hispanic Center survey ranked him the second-most-important Latino leader in the country, after Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “He’s as close as the Latino community has to a Martin Luther King figure,” says Frank Sharry, founder of the pro-immigrant group America’s Voice. Yet Gutierrez’s tactics are controversial.

Says Gutierrez, "I have only one loyalty." It IS NOT to America. So says the sponsor of the so called "DREAM Act" that RINO Dick Lugar in Indiana is supporting.

In my book, Luis Gutierrez is an Anti-American, Racist, Anglo-hating bigoted, Commie operative who desires my and my family’s destruction for his economic benefit!
Any questions?

Put all of the reds in jail.

No reason why these socialist crooks should be operating in broad daylight.

Make them go back underground.

I guess that oath of office was a mere formality and a means to an end. RATs are so emboldened that they no longer hide their treason.

I only recall two names (Phil Hare and Alan Grayson) that were defeated earlier this month. Anyone else?

So, here is the list of socialists who are not in Congress anymore:
1. Wexler (retired)
2. Abercrombie (retired)
3. Watson (retired)
4. Grayson (lost)
5. Hall (lost)
6. Kilpatrick (lost)
7. Hare (lost)

Good, but not great. They only lost 10%, but at least one (Abercombrie, HI) was replaced by Hanabusa, another socialist. So, overall only 6 are gone.

Definition:

Criminal, one who commits crimes.

Those who have committed crimes entering this nation are criminals.

This lawmaker is actually aiding and abetting criminal behavior!

Take $4 billion and construct a real, concrete, steel and razor wire fence from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico to keep the criminals out.

Okay, issue resolved. Next issue?

Here’s Gutierrez’ district, probably the most gerrymandered district in the country.

This country would be much better served if these un-Americans served in some foreign legislative body, as their loyalties are not with the USA.
