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.

Has anyone discussed if the weight of all those increased wages in theses 5 million people's pockets will put the US at risk of tipping over into the ocean?

No Hank they haven't.....that's why it's called ILLEGAL immigration.

I said a week or two ago that liberals and the media will use this EO to tout Obama as some sort of Abraham Lincoln for illegal immigrants.

I'm on my phone, or else I would post that Ron Paul GIF:

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

They should be, but their boy is telling them how grand of an idea it is so that's what they're going with.

This should be the singular theme of any future challenger's campaign.

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.
