Latino Groups Warn Congress to Fix Immigration or Else

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."

The commie piggies sure are slinging around a lot of threats these days. Especially commie union piggies like this bunch. NOW is not the time to be talking about “gun control”. It’s starting to look like Americans are going to need all the guns they can get to protect our country.

Here's a compromise.

Eliseo Medina might go for it. We give California to the 'immigrants'. All of it. For all of them. Free.

On condition:

In 20 years when if becomes one more 3rd world type dictatorship -- with very wealthy and very poor - and no middle class - their citizens can't 'immigrate' to the United States....

They'll have their country to do with as they please. Eliseo Medina and his friends must accept all the poor people of the world (or else) - and Eliseo Medina and his friends can support all those 'immigrants' until they're on their feet. Citizens of the United States (minus California) are NOT chipping in money... Eliseo Medina and his fellow 'founding fathers' can use their own money to provide services for all the 3rd world 'immigrants' who show up on their doorstep. Unlike us, I'm sure they won't mind.

Eliseo Medina can show us how magnanimous he and his friends are when the world wants to move to THEIR country and it's his money paying for it..

I suspect Eliseo Medina would have the same concerns we have... If we were mean we would also wish democrats on him... and people with his current 'understanding and empathy'.... (or else)

Medina is an old Communist Party sympathizer though he often supported its rival Socialist Workers Party.

The SEIU was formed out of the merger of two old CPUSA labor unions, District 65 and Local 1199 of the Hospital Workers Union.

Medina is one of the last of the oldtime CP supporters from the 70’s. It would be nice to have a congressional investigation of his background. It would be very revealing.

The Hispanic Ku Klux Klan a go to hell

I am so tired of groups whining for special treatment for people who broke the law. I am so tired of these Hispanic Hate Groups trying to bully Americans for rights and benefits they do not deserve

Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti-American Bigotry. Time to round up all the Illegals, and send them back

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.


Which means Marco Rubio supports Illegal Alien Amnesty

Um, said that wrong. They have no fear of a revolt. Why would they. We are the only group that actually peacefully protests.

These scofflaws needn’t make threats; they just need to ask and Graham, McCain and others RINO turds will deliver.
