Pelosi Tells Illegal Immigrants That Work Site Raids are Un-American
The speaker of the House told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants recently that enforcement of immigration laws in the United States is "un-American."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that
enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American."
The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the immigrants she was addressing as "very, very patriotic."
"Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?" Pelosi told a mostly Hispanic gathering at St. Anthony's Church in San Francisco.
"It must be stopped....What value system is that? I think it's un-American. I think it's un-American."
Pelosi said she was invited to the church by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., as part of his 17-city, cross-country tour called United Families, which he says is intended to put a human face on the immigration debate.
"We think that families are the cornerstone of our society and our nation, and an immigration system should preserve those families, not destroy them," Gutierrez told FOX News Capitol Hill Producer Chad Pergram on Tuesday.
The congressman is collecting petitions that ask President Obama to "stop the immigration raids and deportations that are tearing our marriages, families and children apart." He is expected to present those petitions when Hispanic members of Congress meet with the President Wednesday.
On Saturday night, Pelosi joined Gutierrez before a cheering crowd at St. Anthony's chanting, "Si se puede," or "Yes we can."
Referring to work site enforcement actions by ICE agents, Pelosi said, "We have to have a change in policy and practice and again ... I can't say enough, the raids must end. The raids must end.
"You are special people. You're here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country's future.
That makes you very, very patriotic."
"I was embarrassed by what she said," said Rick Oltman, with Californians for Population Stabilization, an anti-illegal immigrant group. "Exhorting illegal aliens for taking responsibility for our country's future.... In fact, sitting there in the audience.... I really resented that comment."
"I think it was pandering to the crowd but also insulting to American citizens who consider themselves to be patriotic, who obey the rule of law," said Oltman, who shot a video of the rally.

Well it obviously don't take much to be patriotic according to Nazi Pelosi. If they're patriotic, Then what have they done for America. They are here illegally, that makes them criminals. I think we'll see lots of gaffes from this administration over the next 3 years and 10 months.

Are you on welfare or something? If not take a closer look at your paycheck and see how much is confiscated from you or you could even go read some of your local ordinances you may be breaking.
Never been on welfare in my life. Worked since I was 10, retired at 50 and still continue to work 10 years later but not has hard.
Not in SoCal but own a house there and I will tell you this, California is over run with wetbacks to the point I have learned Spanish to get along. Now why would you wonder if I am on welfare? Granted for a number of years I did not pay taxes but I worked outside of the U.S. borders. Not sure what your post is asking?

He was just starting to get upset. Since we are heading for the cliff at breakneck speed I felt the need to post the educational video.

You think they'll skip right to the UN/NWO dollar? I heard the plan was to go to the amero in the interim.
I guess the IMF is already using the "super currency" though.
The Amero was under El Jefe senor Predsidente Jorge Bush. Guess he thought the Repubs would retain the office. I see the BO more inclined to bow at the alter of the U.N. and as a globalist.
Seems to me if #44 goes that way he may open up a whole new set of problems for himself. Sigh.

You can get 175 trillion for 22 bucks on ebay.
