WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest Latino organizations warned Congress on Wednesday that they will keep a report card during the immigration debate next year, with plans to mobilize their voters against lawmakers who do not support a comprehensive immigration bill. “Make no mistake, we will be watching,” said Eliseo Medina, international secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union, which led one of the most extensive Latino voter drives. The report card will show “who stood with us and who stood against us” on immigration reform, Mr. Medina said."

Sounds like threats to me!!

Same article:

Republican leaders who have studied voting statistics are concerned that their party’s chances to regain the White House will dwindle if they cannot attract more Latinos.

Proving once again that they're a political entity and not a labor union.

marco rubio had a bill ready to go and then obama swooped in with the “don’t deport illegals act”—only it was an “executive order.

What is a Latino group? Do they sing and dance? Are they going to break out into a Marimba if they don’t get their way?

Have illegal immigrants, assiduously, come to the U.S., from all third world, leftist hellholes, and then, turn the entire U.S. into a third world, leftist hellhole, for always! That doesn’t make any sense!

Only reform acceptable is total enforcement of all existing laws sending all illegals back to their country of origin!

What are you going to do Medina, shoot us? Are you going to beat us? Come yourself and tell me to my face what you want me to think and do. I promise I'll listen to you. Just you and me. I'm an old man, weak and helpless. No guns, not fighting, just come and tell me how you want me to think. Do you want to take over and tell all of us what to think, where we can live, what we can do for a living and what language we can speak? Lay it out on the table and don't be a cobarde. Tell us directly what you want us to do in standing with you. I'll actually consider your point of view.

What’s wrong with OUR immigration laws amigos? Maybe you should go back to Mexico and fix YOUR immigration laws there first. We Americans will worry about ours.

When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ?

Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries.

Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.

Americans can’t own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash they’ll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the “fresh”. That’s just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea let’s give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections .
