During a House panel hearing on asylum fraud, Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee warned her committee colleagues to “be prepared” for immigration protests.
“Let me just take note of the fact and in as calm a voice as I might do so … as I understand it before I came into the chambers there were persons expressing their First Amendment rights and obviously through the protocol of this committee were removed from the committee but they were expressing their consternation, their frustration, their hurt and their pain,” she said.
At the beginning of the hearing, pro-immigration reform protesters shouted, “Citizenship now! Families together!” at lawmakers in the chamber before they were escorted out of the hearing room. Reform Immigration FOR America and the Fair Immigration Reform Movement claimed credit for the disruption.
According to Lee, this summer, immigration reform activists will be out in droves to protest for immigration reform. The Texas congresswoman further compared the activists’ struggle to that of African-Americans during the 1960s.
“Fifty years ago when African Americans were experiencing that kind of pain, they engaged in something called Freedom Summer and it was to emphasize to the nation that we are in essence deserving of a fair plane and justice,” she said. “And so as a member of Congress I am committed to abiding by the law but I would expect that we will see thousands upon thousands of individuals from all backgrounds coming to this Congress in the summer and finally saying ‘enough is enough.’”
She continued, tying her argument to the topic of the hearing by saying that the protesters will be people who might have been granted asylum and “others expressing themselves’ for someone to listen.”(continued)

...remember the backlash of the first “protest”
Don't you just hate pigmentation protection? These slime bags are not interested in equality. They want us all eliminated.
no empathy. you’re expected to just roll over like a good dog and stop barking.
“Let me just take note of the fact and in as calm a voice as I might do so … as I understand it before I came into the chambers there were persons expressing their First Amendment rights and obviously through the protocol of this committee were removed from the committee but they were expressing their consternation, their frustration, their hurt and their pain,”
Will Sheila afford the same concern for the TEA party and Conservatives?
Waiting.....
I am prepared. I have a lot of ammo.
That is a maxim of our revolution. Outside of talk radio, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and scant few others, we never hear those ideas.
Guess what Sheila, we don’t owe illegal aliens one damn thing.
There is absolutely no excuse for her kind of stupid.
Shiela is a plantation onwer who is “f”ing her own people. She supports immigration which is in direct competition with her low information voters and thier unemployed status, but sinse she is the right color now matter what she does is alright by them. Stupid is a circle
The very essence of mob (attempted) rule...
If these illegals truly want to become US citizens, there is a path already laid out for that. The fact that they have chosen to live outside the established laws of the US is what makes them criminals.
Amnesty for these people is a slap in the face to every American. It has been done before, and every time we were told it was the last time; that it would not lead to more illegals. And every time was a bald faced lie from the socialists; the last time by the most hypocritical socialist, Ted Kennedy.
Amnesty again will only serve to secure dhimmicrap voters and the continued slide toward the abyss of despotic socialism in America.
Keep the heat on your elected representatives to stop this immoral effort.
If they happen in Arizona, they will be polite and orderly, or else.
Lock and load the live ammo boys... thanks for the heads-up lee!
The government is prepared. Anybody with an American flag or a cross will dealt with rapidly and efficiently.
Lee gives illegals their marching orders.
