Not since a 42-to-1 underdog named Buster Douglas knocked out undefeated heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in 1990 has there been an upset like economics professor Dave Brat defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary in Virginia. (SNIP) Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed almost entirely in terms of what can be done to help those who have broken the law. Some want to help a little and some want to help a lot. But amnesty lite is still amnesty.

Some people seem to think that amnesty is not amnesty if you throw in requirements for citizenship. Amnesty is not some esoteric concept. It means that you are not going to be punished for breaking the law -- and that simply brings laws into contempt. Denying citizenship is not a punishment because crossing the border illegally does not entitle you to citizenship. Providing a legal status short of citizenship is not punishment either.

All of this talk and maneuvering is just a diversion from the fact that the intention is to allow criminals who have broken our laws and are here illegally to stay here. It doesn’t matter what you call it. It doesn’t matter how ‘conditional’ you make it - it is still amnesty, regardless of the hoops they have to jump through. They are criminals.

The swarm at the border endangers America and Americans.....the grotesque undermining of US ntl security to consolidate Third World plans to takeback the SW has been going on for far too long........

CONSPIRACY AND COLLUSION---The Congressional Hispanic Caucus needs to be examined for its role in this sub-rosa plans to undermine US ntl security (using our tax dollars).

Cong Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill): 'Every Institution in America' Should Work Around Fed. Immigration Laws
Breitbart's Big Government / Tony Lee / FR Posted on ‎5‎/‎19‎/‎2014‎ ‎by 2ndDivisionVet

(VIDEO-AT-LINK) Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) suggested that until Congress passes sweeping amnesty legislation, "every institution in America" should find ways to ignore or work around federal immigration laws. He also said that President Barack Obama's Deferred Action program was the first step in implementing more amnesty programs.

Testifying before a Senate Subcommittee hearing in Chicago on "Immigrant Enlistment" that Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) chaired, Gutierrez said that "every institution in America, including our military, must work around the inability of our federal government and the U.S. House of Representatives to fix our immigration system." He also pushed the Navy and Marines to allow U.S. citizens who are married to illegal immigrants to enlist at a hearing in which Durbin called on the Pentagon to start enlisting DREAMers.

Gutierrez, one of the most vocal pro-amnesty legislators, has repeatedly called on Obama to flout the nation's immigration laws even more and act unilaterally to give amnesty to more illegal immigrants, including the families of those offered temporary amnesty. "DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] is an important first step in implementing modern immigration policies that reflect our values and strengthen our nation," he said. "Next we must fully incorporate DACA recipients and their families and the millions of immigrants who live among us into our society."(continued) (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

======================================================

Gutierrez and his C/H/C co-conspirators need to be exposed. We need to determine where Gutierrez and the C/H/C are getting their orders and with whom they are colluding. Gutierrez outlines treacherous activities which are significant national security threats......which serve to undermine the US' sacrosanct rule of law. These sub rosa activities acts correspond with conniving, decrepit Third World countries' calculated plans to weaken and subjugate the US to their evil demands.

Gutierrez and his co-conspirators are a national security threat and present a clear danger to law-abiding US citizens. Many illegal are hardened criminals w/ convictions for: (1) drunk or drugged driving, (2) aggravated assault, (3) flight escape, (4) pedaling dangerous drugs, (5) vehicle theft, (6) kidnapping, (7) sexual assault, and, (8) homicide.

The 36,007 criminal released by ICE in 2013 were encumbered w/ about 88,000 convictions.

===============================================

The Obama Administration is desperate to retain its majority---the raison d'etre for releasing Third World criminals from incarceration/detention. Obama is also trying to be helpful to vote-crazed Democrats scared silly about 2014 midterms; Dems desperately need illegals to vote using their several identities to hang onto their seats.

==============================================

Americans demand to know which laws/rules/procedures are being violated. Clearly official documents need to be falsified in order to accomplish the goals of Gutierrez and his Third World buddies.

================================================

TALKING POINTS The C/H/C has been quiet about its role in financing, and, earmarking, the blood-thirsty America-hating La Raza.....race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the fraudulent mortgage-application requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts......decimating the US economy. economy. La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling." (waiting or hysterical laughter to die down)

Elected officials who belong to the C/H/C have an inherent conflict of interest in the amnesty provision b/c it protects elected latinos from wrongdoing .....ergo, votes for amnesty by Gutierrez and members of The Congressional Hispanic Caucus are automatically disqualified by US law.

AMNESTY PROTECTION RACKET EMBEDDED IN US LAW the Senate amnesty bill actually protects corrupt Latino Public Officials from US laws and from prosecution.......only latino pols. Vote-crazed Dems allow amnesty to absolve elected/appointed latinos holding US public office from prosecution for wrongdoing---for crimes like government fraud, graft, bribery, selling votes for cash....(the usual politician crimes).

===============================================

There really is a Ntl Assoc of Latino Elected and Appt Officials organized for govt fraud.

NANCY SUCKS UP at Ntl Assoc of Latino Elected and Appt Officials Gala in DC
L-R--Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ);
Dr Salomon Melgen (under scrutiny for corrupt deals w/ Sen Menendez);
Rep Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-CAL); Francisco
J. Sanchez, US Under Secy of Commerce for Intl Trade,
Emilio Sanchez, Pres/CEO of VOXXI.

Just sent this to Hugh Hewitt:

Please read or re-read Thomas Sowell’s Townhall article on Amnesty Lite.

>http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2014/06/13/amnesty-lite-is-still-amnesty-n1851069/page/full<

Then watch Megan Kelly’s interview with Dennis Lynch, regarding the border invasion where the drug cartels are flooding narcotics into the country, while a few yards away, Federal Agents are assisting to illegally load immigrants onto buses to the U.S.

Having some nice 5 point plan where we’d really like to “build the fence first”, doesn’t mean anything in this environment.

There is no “immigration reform” in this scenario, because that would entail negotiating with a party as disingenuous as the devil.

So, go ahead and get Raul Labrador elected as #2, take the Senate in November, get Ted Cruz elected in 2016, and THEN we can discuss immigration reform.

Sincerely,
