“So, I think the real, fundamental problem that the Republicans have is, ‘How do we get meaner, how do we get nastier with immigrants,’” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), adding a warning to Republicans that “Hispanics in America would never forget the tough legislation proposed by Republicans in upcoming elections.”

“The way you treat one of us today is the way you have treated all of us, and we will remember that, “he said. “Not only do they treat the children that are in such need of protection, it is almost though they despise and hate all of our children.”
Gutierrez accused the “loudest, meanest, most vile voices’ in the Republican caucus of dominating the discussions on the bill. In a disjointed statement he said, “Let me say that look unfortunately, the way they speak about a community, it is almost as if the children, we are a vile, repugnant community to them, that they vilify and demonize in every one of their statements.” Huh?
It’s apparent that Gutierrez didn’t hear the president on Wednesday when he said, “Stop just hating all the time.”
“According to Rep. Luis Gutierrez, President Obama intends ‘to act broadly and generously’ on behalf of the ‘millions and millions’ of illegal immigrants in the U.S. today,” wrote Patrick J. Buchanan in Friday’s Investor’s Business Daily. Gutierrez implied that the president will grant de facto amnesty to five million illegal immigrants by executive order before Labor Day.
