quote:

“They’re protecting an economic order that makes its living off of cheap labor, just like slavery. You entice people from across the border to come here and you pay them sub-wages and you keep them in an underground economy and you refuse to let them out. Those people work hard. They have played by the rules. They have built this country. …

“One day there will be movies written about this episode in American history. There will be a president who issues an executive order like the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed 3 to 4 million slaves with the signing of a pen. There will be some bold leaders in the Congress trying to move those who try to cling to the status quo. …

“In the end of the movie Congress will — there will be some bold action in Congress by congressional leaders to force the others to do what is right. And it may take a little bit more time, but I’m proud to stand here with those who have been fighting for a long time and those who have the strength to continue to fight until we get this done.

“I also want to say to President Obama: We have your back. Don’t worry about it. Do the right thing. Let’s make it happen.”

This guy couldn't be more politically ignorant. The black community, as a whole, is very anti-immigration/amnesty.

Stupidity is a lot worse than ebola and this assclown has a double dose.

This man is an idiot. This cannot be disputed.

We should be ashamed that he is in Congress.

They're going to end up pushing black votes away - that's as suicidal as the GOP supporting amnesty.

If they had played by the rules, the dictator-in-chief wouldn't have to break more rules to protect them.
