Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) may have let the cat out of the bag when he confirmed the true reason behind his party’s push toward amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Elections. Specifically, amnesty would bring in 4-5 million new Democrats.

Gutiérrez, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, railed against portions of his own party standing in the way of human rights at the border. He urged his colleagues in the Senate not to play politics on this matter.
Then he provided this little dangling carrot.
Amnesty after all, can be a good thing for the Democrat party:

“Let me just say in about an hour, I’m going over to the White House. I’ll be meeting with Jeh Johnson and the Chief Legal Counsel to the President of the United States. We’re going to sit down and we’re going to negotiate additional terms and avenues the President can use and prosecutorial discretion, and I think we can get three or four or maybe even five million people.”
Watch the clip below (via Digitas Daily):
Of course, anyone who has been paying attention knows that increasing Democrat numbers is the one true goal behind a push for amnesty or immigration control.
Obama crony and former SEIU Vice President Eliseo Medina has the best look into the mindset of liberal lawmakers when it comes to immigration laws, or the lack thereof.
Medina previously served as a member of Obama’s National Latino Advisory Council and as honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. As such, he used the platform of an America’s Future Now! Conference in 2009 to outline a plan for long-term Democrat rule through blanket amnesty.
“We reform the immigration laws; it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. If we have eight million new voters who care about, and will be voting, we will be creating a governing coalition for the long term.”

nys just passed bill allowing illegals drivers licenses. do these people have to admit to being illegal when they apply for drivers licenses??????????
Well there’s a couple of things the real American indivduals can do & its stop the money flow to the illegals. Shun the whack jobs muslims & start flippin tables in front of the media-stand in front of the congress. I’m putting my chips on Trump too. Obamas gonna learn about karma. Time to talk in solutions cuz nobody I know is giving up without a fight.
Did any of you actually question this guys conclusions?
I am a Life-Long Republican and know that giving illegals legal status has no effect on their ability to vote or become citizens.
It gives them the ability to work in the open instead of working in the shadows, which is something they already do.
As for voting for anyone at anytime is something this don’t accomplish.
As for Blacks that you claim don’t support this country…. Lets look at the color of most of the soldiers that are buried in graves defending America and look at the number currently in the military. Where are your children while war is conducted?
That is the true test of your loyalty to America.
Is there anyone who really is surprised by this??????
Whatever the Dems do, they will need to do before mid-term elections. Their real fear is that Republicans will take both the House & the Senate and Obama’s reign will effectively be over.
This plan to grant amnesty to 5 million is not long-term, it’s NOW. WAKE up people!
The immigration debate is another sad reminder of how little our politicians value us.
A majority of Democrats want open borders and pathways to citizenship for illegals, because they believe it will generate larger blocks of voters. Lower income Hispanics in particular are in higher need for state and federal services than other immigrant groups, and are more likely to vote for Democrats to support the expansion of those programs.
A large percentage of Republican lawmakers want increased H1B Visas and immigration, because H1B visas in particular benefit big businesses who are Republican Party campaign donors. Lower skilled and lower cost labor keeps wages in several job categories lower, reducing the ability of American workers to increase their standard of living.
At the end of the day, the only real winner are the politicians.
Immigrants lose because our social services are now so overextended that they provide little value. Immigrants will end up working harder for less, face more challenges integrating into American society, and not have the kind of upward mobility they could realize under a more balanced immigration plan.
American citizens lose because they end up seeing themselves as marginalized by their political leaders, and continue to work more for less. The number of people living paycheck to paycheck, on government assistance or out of the workforce entirely will only continue to grow.
How do the politicians win? Well, the two parties play off one another to win elections and line their own pockets. And because there is no political alternative, they can continue to play games, deceive voters and deepen the political divide.
How can we change it? It’s really simple. We need to build a political party that is focused not ideology, but on balanced solutions to our core problems. I know that is not easy, but the truth of the matter is – would you rather work towards building a better future, or just continue voting for Republicans and Democrats who do not mind watching your future slowly fade away?
The Amnesty bill was not about bringing more immigrants to the U.S. The flawed and as I see it illegal bill> Law was drafted to give amnesty to 10.000.000 illegal’s already here in the U.S. Gutierrez is a communist P.O.S. like Obozo and his retarded liberals who want to change America into a Socialist/communist country like Mandela did to South Africa.
We need to build the Gallows and begin taking out traitors! Moochelle, Jarrett and Gutierrez have already made threats to the people of the United States by making the remarks,we will punish those against us!
That’s exactly why Reagan gave amnesty to all of those immigrants.
Why do we never hear of any Democrats, Progressives, Liberal Left complaining about their taxes going up to feed these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS>

As if Obama gives a sh!t about other peoples opinions !
This will never work. When American citizens find that they will lose opportunities to these illegal aliens, they will be outraged. Giving the American dream to the illegal aliens and taking it from American citizens is not the key to political success.
in all those countries millions of people speak their own dialects, and many of the children coming here do not speak spanish…that is why yes….the signs should be written in all those dialects….and not only in spanish….now you read a book…
Really? “in Honduras, Ecquador, and Mexican language”? Really? Don’t forget the El Salvador, Guatamalan and Nicaraguan languages, also. Maybe the Panama language. Yep….let’s see….Oh! Columbian language. Not Christopher Columbian, though.
PURE EVIL………………………………MANIPULATION. WE NEED PEOPLE AT THE BORDER WITH SIGNS…IN HONDURAS,ECQUADOR, AND MEXICAN LANGUAGE STATING THAT DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL AND ONLY WANT YOU HERE FOR YOUR VOTE…HERE IN AMERICA WE CAN VOTE ANYWAY YOU WANT TO AND YOU DONT HAVE TO VOTE IF YOU DONT WANT TO….THEY ARE BRAINWASHING CHILDREN…IS THIS NOT CHILD ABUSE?
TREASON!!!
Mike, I am with you! And when the war starts, I will fight to the end! Yep, I know what you are saying…..
It comes down to FIGHT or flight.I ain’t going no where.Know what I’m sayin?
It’s for the North American Union – open borders and bankrupting the states for a new currency. One step closer to a one world gov.
In 2012, 93 million people did not vote because they didn’t want to put forth the effort, they didn’t like Romney or figured that Obama would walk away with it anyway. Will these people stay home again or will they rise up and take back the country they grew up in by voting out all the Dems, RINOs and the enablers who did nothing to stop Obama and his ugly agenda? Or will the Reality Factor take over when they ask themselves “Am I better off now than six years ago? Do I see a good future for myself and my children? Am I satisfied with Obamacare or have I lost the good insurance I had? Am I making it or just barely surviving?”
he is already there
They can’t Alias. Takes to much focus to get past a paragraph for them.
Propaganda and fear like this put Hitler in power. Read a book.
This makes me sad for the world my son will grow up in. I’m not very old (42) but I miss and remember the days when being an American meant something. When people said the pledge of allegiance. When Americans felt pride for our great country.
Today I am ashamed of my country, and my fellow Americans. This laziness of so many. So many Americans just are tuned out. This laziness is what made the rise of Hitler possible.
Please pray for common sense, and intelligent actions. An at last speak, up be courageous let’s win back ourcountry
That has been his agenda since day one.
The REAL reason Obama wants amnesty is to implement Cloward and Piven’s plan to destroy OUR system byoverloading the system.
Nice thought but you have to remember most welfare blacks are ignorant idiots who will never support our country.
Now that many African-Americans are fed up with Obama and his empty promises, the Democrats won’t have the majority of their votes anymore….so they are going to make America suffer by overlwhelming our welfare system, our schools, our limited jobs, etc JUST FOR VOTES!!!!! Damn the Democrats all to Hell!!!!
