Immigration groups turn to anger (Illegals to confront Republican lawmakers at public appearances)
Politico ^ | 2/10/14 | ANNA PALMER, SEUNG MIN KIM

Immigration reform advocates are done playing nice with House Republicans.

After holding their fire for years at the urging of the Obama administration, several immigration reform groups now plan to unleash their anger at the right.

A new, more aggressive campaign kicks off Tuesday, when these groups say they will begin confronting Republican lawmakers at public appearances, congressional hearings and events back in home districts. The goal: Shame Republicans in swing districts into taking up the issue — or make them pay at the ballot box in November.

It’s unclear if the strategy will truly damage Republicans with their constituents. Or worse, whether it might backfire and oust some of the movement’s best potential allies across the aisle.

My bet is on oust.

I can’t imagine anything that would get the average American’s back up faster than to see screaming illegals on the TV every night demanding we accommodate them.

Invite an active duty immigration official to each appearance. Problem solved!

I hope they do attend campaign events and shout, yell, scream and threaten violence.

Let’s see the type of people who want to become Americans.

Thugs.

These are agents provocateur in league with a foreign power intent on annexing the sovereign territory of the USA. I suggest hanging is the proper response.

I'm tired pof hearing Spanish and seeing burkhas. Put 'em to work on projects to benefit the public until they earn enough credits to ship themselves back to another country that will take them.

Why should we board them, feed them, and pay their transportation free back home?

Conservatives should be doing this against Boner and the rest of the GOPe.

Its too bad we don't get Corporate and Foundation funding like the illegal alien groups. Without the money and organizers and lawyers supplied by these Globalist outfits the illegal aliens would never show up at a protest.

Illegals are becoming for brazen all the time.

And if Republicans are known for anything, it’s NOT having a spine.

This will not end well....

All protest signs must be in English.
Check all I.D.’s at the door and only citizens can enter.
Have busses on call to transfer all Illegals th jail where they will be held until they are removed from the U.S.A.
ADIOS Ladrones .

So we are to surrender to their squeaky wheel because otherwise they will cause a riot? What about their legal compatriots who follow the laws for immigration? What about the demonstrator’s presumably free education and health care?

Fold their protest 5 ways and stick it!

We need to "not play nice" too.

The American people are with us on this one... Hispanic unemployment is sky high and our government wants to bring in a few million more people for them to compete with?
