Dem Rep: Obama Must Go Forward on Amnesty to Quell Latino Racial Unrest
Breitbart TV ^ | 8-28-14

Posted on 08/28/2014 11:50:52 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Thursday on MSNBC's "José Díaz-Balart," Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said President Barack Obama should use an executive order and grant amnesty to an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States because it will "quell some of the unrest" caused by "racial overtones" of anti immigration rhetoric. He said, "Latinos that are fourth, fifth generation -- they see this as a civil rights issue."

Grijalva said Obama's amnesty, "Will quell some of the unrest that we are seeing in our communities and the racial overtones that continue to build around this issue."

He explained, "The issue of immigration that for a while was sanitized. We just talked about immigration as a federal policy that needed to be reformed. What has happened is that more and more of the rhetoric has racial undertones and overtones and in many parts of our community, for those people of color, in particular, latinos that are fourth, fifth generation, they see this as a civil rights issue in terms of who is being demeaned and demonized by the Steve Kings of the world on the air.

Latino racial unrest over electioneering immigration and more welfare reparations to compensate for sums paid to coyotes, versus Black racial unrest over no jobs and lack of safe housing and opportunities.

decisions, decisions. How about we take care of our American black population first? It seems the right thing to do.

Otherwise, latino unrest may meet black unrest. Latinos should understand very clearly which side America will stand with - and it won’t be with them.

No, law abiding citizens will just roll over. Especially those in the Midwest and Northeast. They still don’t get it.

Oh hell.. why not just tear away the borders and give blanket amnesty to anyone and everyone and call it a day? In the end it’s going to happen anyway.

Gasp, I was hoping I could retire for a few years before CW-II starts.

Guess I’d better finish the off the grid stuff early.

They are going to punish those who support the Rule of Law with the Race Card.

And that means our pu$$y-a$$ed GOP will fold like a cheap lawn chair.

Come to think of it,,where does the CBC stand on this “amnesty” issue? That might be the only group President Precious is afraid of offending.

Wrong. There would still be hundreds of millions of people around the world who would want to come here, swamp our culture and drive the cost of labor down to third world levels.

In any case it ain’t gonna happen.

What “Latino Racial Unrest”?

Bingo! To the credit of Latinos we have not seen them out looting stores in Ferguson, Missouri.

I heard on the radio about a poll where 30% of Mexicans say they would come to the US if they could.

Instead of worrying about ISIS, how about we declare war on Mexico, go down there and clean that place up so decent folks could stay and work there, instead of moving here?

Make the world safe for democracy? No way! Make Mexico safe for democracy? Well, maybe. It’s certainly something to think about and — maybe — threaten. War with Mexico radical? No more radical than Obama using executive orders to “legalize” 5 to 10 million illegal invaders.

Your wrong - is mostly wrong. I agree we are stuck with our debt-ridden activist government until it collapses, when ever that may be. YES, the USA with a limited government and stable, not fiat currency would be very strong economically, which would attract immigrants - as it did in the 19th century. But with a government limited by the inability to over-borrow, its nature would change greatly, as would the politics of this country. Immigrants would become individuals again, not racial voting blocks. You need to understand the huge but invisible changes a fiat currency forces on a country.

Incredibly stupid statement. He is saying we must give in to mob rule and intimidation.

A country has the right to decide who is admitted. Illegal aliens are and should be denied amnesty because they are breaking our laws - they refuse to go through the legal process and feel they should get special treatment. They are not denied amnesty because of their race.

The dam has broken. No fixing it.

Time to move to a rural area.

Seriously.

I can always dream about millions of real Americans hitting the streets to send these illegals home.

Just a dream. Because it won’t happen. But imagine if it did.

The message is: go ahead all you white boys; prove you are not racist by turning over your country to us. Then we will be very appreciative, play-like, but we will always wonder at how an entire nation can be such depraved fools.
