Schumer: Immigration Reform Stalled by Tea Party Racism
breitbart ^ | 1/24/14

On Thursday, speaking at the John Podesta-founded Center for American Progress, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that if it were not for the Tea Party, immigration reform would have passed long ago. He blamed Tea Party opposition to immigration reform on racism. "In a pre-tea party world, the Senate immigration bill would have been welcomed by House Republicans," Schumer stated. "However, the tea party rank and file know it's a different America. It looks different; it prays different; it works different. This is unsettling and angering to some."

Schumer added that discomfort with demographic change – racism – explained “why so many on the right vehemently opposed the Senate immigration bill, a bill that actually embodies many conservative, non-governmental principals: reducing our deficit by billions, growing our economy, creating jobs and spurring new entrepreneurial activity.”

Me too. I would love to just get in his face and shout, “You are a rich, old, white man. You are everything that your party claims to hate.”

And then I’d punch him in the face. Or maybe I’d do that first. Or both.

That’s exactly the sentiment they are counting on.

How about the racism of importing twenty million new workers when black unemployment is already sky high?

Why can't anyone in the Republican Party stand up to this?

What's racist is replacing black workers with hispanic workers. That's the dems in collusion with corporate America, and they're destroying the fabric of the US in the process.

The US plans to resettle 30,000 Syrian Islamists displaced by the Syrian War, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Not “amnesty” per say; just an engraved invite from Benghazi Barry Soebarkah—(they’ll get ObamaPhones, too, no doubt, to allow Barry’s minions to relay instructions concerning where and when to vote communist/dem.)

‘Splain that, Schumer.
