“Our demand is simple,” said FIRM spokesperson Kica Matos. “Pass an immigration reform bill in the House by August 2 that one includes a path to citizenship and that two keeps families together.”

My demand is simple too. Go back to where your broke into our country from and take your child, mother and grandma rapists with you.

If any house member supports this then they support rapists! Hear that Nancy, Diane, Shelia and the rest of you. You were elected to represent Americans. Not illegal criminal murders, rapists and other vermin that broke into America!

Wonder how any of these elected ones would feel if their 9 month old daughter/granddaughter was raped to death by one of these dreamers?

RE :”Families gathered on Saturday to keep pressure on the House to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. The families, who worked with the advocacy group the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM), protested in the home states of several key GOP leaders including Speaker Boehner of Ohio, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.
“Our demand is simple,” said FIRM spokesperson Kica Matos. “Pass an immigration reform bill in the House by August 2 that one includes a path to citizenship and that two keeps families together.”
Meantime, some of the very leaders the families sought to pressure were traveling to other states to push reform forward- including Rep. Cantor.
Cantor was part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who went on an immigration “pilgrimage” this weekend along with Sen. Robert Menendez, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart and Rep. Joe Crowley. The group visited historically important immigration cites in the New York City area including Ellis Island and the Jewish Center of Jackson Heights in Queens.
“This trip will provide us with the opportunity to put politics aside and focus on the common link that we all share,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said in a statement ahead of the trip.”

August 2 is this coming Friday. I think Boener and Cantor will miss that deadline.

1) We don’t owe you a “path to citizenship.” You have already demonstrated a patent disregard for our laws, so you are not welcome here.

2) It is not our responsibility to keep your family together. You can all go back to South Hellhole and huddle in a culvert for all I care. Then you’ll be together.

3) Don’t sneak into my country like a thief and then presume to tell me what’s wrong with my world. If you’re such an expert, go home and fix your own dump. Spare us your genius.

My demands are simpler “Enforce the current Laws or I vote your ass outta office”

Wonder whose words they’d fear the most?

I simply do not understand this “keep the families together” meme.

Can’t they be together in Mexico, or whatever third-world hell-hole that they fled from?
