Congress seems to have more “gangs” than Los Angeles these days and they are every bit as insidious. They have at least one thing in common with their cohorts in the Latin Kings and MS-13. The “Capitol Devils” Gang (not to be confused with the Hell's Angels) of 100 have a vested interest in seeing another amnesty for illegal aliens come to fruition.
More than 100 members of the House of Representatives, all Democrats, signed a letter to President Obama urging him to live up to his campaign rhetoric and promises. They are pushing for CIR or Comprehensive Immigration Reform in early 2010. Congressman Luis Gutierrez, poster boy for the current amnesty movement is expected to launch a CIR initiative in the House next month.
"The room for doing this is very tight," Gutierrez said earlier this month on the Spanish-language Univision network's political talk program, "Al Punto." "We have to do it in February or early March of next year."
Though the Gang of 100 is optimistic, the prospects for success will depend on at least two factors: Passage of the Healthcare Bill, which looks precarious at best at this moment and a compressed timeline that gets the CIR Bill passed before the voters retire a substantial number of Democrats next fall in mid-term elections. With an approval rating in the mid twenties, Congress and the majority party face a tough road ahead and another legislative failure of this magnitude will cement their fate.
Only one House Republican, Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake is listed as a possible amnesty ally and gang member in waiting. This makes the immigration issue a partisan one and certainly it will cause everyone on the anti-amnesty squad to polish their swords and shields for another political bloodbath.
While pro-amnesty advocates are pushing hard for the legalization of more than 12 million illegal aliens in this country, their only hope for success this time is convincing the American public that legalization is a good thing for the country and the economy. With 14 million people out of work that looks to be an insurmountable task. We can only hope the American people have a say in it. The way this bunch of political criminals operate, almost anything is possible, including a "backdoor deal".

It will be a blood bath in the 2010 elections if Gutierrez and his gang try for Amnesty.It is sad they are willing to put their Dem. congress critters in such a bind for people who are not even citizens.
Gutierrez works for Mexico NOT US Citizens so why the H is he a member of OUR Congress ??
All I got to say is "Bring It On" let the Blood Bath Begin cause citizens are OUTRAGED Democrats are not protecting them but instead they want to give our jobs to foreign nationals.

Legal eagle, have some humanity...and for God's sake stop being so racist all of ya'll...we were created by the same God. Theyre in this country already, so just make them legal...SEAL up the borders, and enforce the interior is what i say. That's the problem solved right there...and i believe that is what these Congressmen are doing, just give them a chance.
Stop with the racism! Stop blaming the illegals for everything!
Pass the CIR and help the people! We are nation of immigrants!
God bless
Wanting to enforce the laws and protect our Country, isn't racism, it's only practical! All you leftists always scream 'racism' when you don't have anything else to say. You know, we're getting pretty fed up with that and playing the 'race card' isn't working anymore. Ever hear the story of the little boy who cried wolf? Well, one of these days when someone really is racist, and you really are getting your 'fluffy bunny paws' stomped on, no one will listen. Now shut up and either become legal, learn english and asimilate OR vamanose!
Wow, Carl...just when I think someone couldn't possibly be any dumber...
and you TOTALLY redeem yourself....
all it took was that first paragraph of your piece to know that I was dealing with a complete crock...
Im for controlled, legal migration....but I feel dumber by reading your piece
I'd go as far as calling your piece racist. I don't know how the Examiner lets you post this stuff.
Equating U.S. legislators, especially those of Hispanic descent, with gang members...MS-13....WOW...
You have to be kidding me...
If this country wants to slide into Mexico's corrupt culture the gang of 100 are right. I think the American people are onto the amnesty fight. It's a losing proposition as those in line to become AMERICANs will get bumped and lawbreakers will be offered a free pass. No Way!
Nice report on the status of CIR. Probably could have done without the implication that 100 of our elected representatives who want to reform immigration are only doing so for the members of the Latin Kings and MS-13 -- I think all U.S. citizens will benefit from a constructive approach to reforming the immigration system.
Just one note: In the sentence, "While pro-amnesty advocates are pushing hard for the legalization of more than 12 million illegal aliens in this country, there only hope for success this time is convincing the American public that legalization is a good thing for the country and the economy." 'there' should be 'their'.
Gray1984. This Congress, one of the worst in history deserves no such respect. They are all bums. Miss me with that BS. They are WORSE than MS-13. They have much more impact on our lives.
god bless america
you called them gang and compared them with the bad guys only because they don't agree with your fat ass. SHAME ON YOU
As a matter of fact, your analysis lacks a proper research and is based on lies and distortions of reality, therefore is directed to population lacking good education.
Thanks Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Sen. Vitter, Rush Limbaugh, and others, we Latinos, as a community we are being portrayed and denigrated as a bunch of gangsters. Nothing more far than the reality, this is clearly the result of a well mounted campaign, between certain media and antiimmigrant politicians, whose main purpose is to make every single person, even the more moderate citizens, to adopt an antiimmigrant sentiment and obviously a growing hatred against anything with a Latino label.
This xenophobic campaign really upsets our community, insult our elected officials and undermine the very foundation of the American culture. Fortunately, history is in our side, we all immigrants contribute to the greatness of America. We will prevail. God bless America !!!!
Damn, Carl are you a racist hillbilly?
Hmm, why am I not surprised that Legal Eagle's comment started with "there will be a blood bath" and ended with "Join Numbers USA". And they don't think they're extreme and hatelful! Like Gray1984, I am for controlled legal immigration and a solution to this mess- not for more hate speech
"Thanks Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Sen. Vitter, Rush Limbaugh, and others, we Latinos, as a community we are being portrayed and denigrated as a bunch of gangsters." No, Robert, you brought it all on yourselves, when you decided to choose sides with foreign lawbreakers against your fellow American citizens (that is, if you ARE a citizen). We saw your disloyalty clearly in 2006 when you marched in our streets demanding "rights" you don't deserve
....Waving foreign flags, and screaming angry slogans at us in a foreign language. You guys brought it on yourselves,Robert, so quit whining, and decide once and for all whether you want to be American or "Latino." As for Luis Gutierrez (D-Mexico City), he's already made his choice. He is no American, just a corrupt foreign agent who should be put on trial for treason. He does "your people" absolutely no favors with his treasonous actions.
"And they don't think they're extreme and hatelful! Like Gray1984, I am for controlled legal immigration and a solution to this mess- not for more hate speech" -- It's funny how the hate speech accusations always seem to go one way. The Brown Berets and Aztlanistas can hate all they want, but the braindead "Rachels" never say a peep.
"Damn, Carl are you a racist hillbilly?" -- Damn, FD, are you an illiterate Mexican peasant with a second grade education?
The Undocumented Immigrants pay the exact same amount of taxes like you and me when they buy Things, rent a house, fill up gas, drink a beer or wine, buy appliances, play the states lottery and mega millions . Below are the links to just a few sites that will show you exactly how much tax you or the Undocumented Immigrant pays , so you see they are NOT FREELOADERS, THEY PAY TAXES AND TOLLS Exactly the same as you, Now if you take out 10% from your states /city Budget what will your city/state look like financially ?
Stop your folly thinking , you are wise USE YOUR WISDOM to see the reality. They pay more taxes than you think, Including FEDERAL INCOME TAX using a ITN Number that is given to them by the IRS, Social Security Taxes and State taxes that are withheld form their paychecks automatically.
With the rapidly changing demographics, the GOP, which has become the good'ole boy Southern party, is doomed for at least a generation. Keep promoting hatred and opposing immigration reform, GOP, you will never win another election, ever!
Oh, a comprehensive immigration reform is a matter of when, not if!!!
NumbersUSA and FAIR equals modern-day KKK: anrgy losers blaming their failures in life on others. How sad...
I have read Carl Braun's articles many times, This one as usual only bash immigrants. Thats about the only way he can get a response from any one on this site. Poor Carl, No one gives a hoot what he has to say unless its some thing negative about immigrants. In other words he is a fear monger who like to use inflamitory language to get people all rattle up by implying this world is ending or your life sucks because of immigrants or its all their fault. Carl, its a cheap trick try some productive and informative article, Thats what we need now a days. NOT MORE HATE! all you do is spread hate. Try some positive message for a change you know thats also good for your ego.
What would you see yourself as if you were looking thru the Eyes of Almighty GOD ?
BECAUSE,
How you Treat others is how God TREATS You.
How you Forgive others is how god FORGIVES You.
How you See others is how God SEEs You.
When you show Empathy for the plight of another HUMAN BEING, God takes empathy in YOUR PLIGHT.
When others slight you and you ignore the call to Vengeance that burns inside, God erases all memory of your failures towards him.
When you SEE THE IMAGE OF GOD in ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, Then the IMAGE of GOD Becomes REVEALED WITHIN YOU.
The way You Judge other HUMANS is HOW GOD Judges You.
All Humans are EQUAL, ALL Humans are created and are the same in Almighty GODS VISION.
What You wish for the other is what GOD Gives YOU.

Mexico is the Second largest buyer of U.S. Products in the World. In 2001 trade with Mexico was nearly half a million dollars a minute and we export more to Mexico than to the combination of the four European members of the G-7: Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
California’s biggest customer in the World is Mexico
Millions of Individual jobs in the U.S. are connected to Mexican imports what happens in Mexico will effect U.S. Jobs in the U.S. In 1993 alone there was 2.9 Million jobs created in the U.S. from U.S. export to Mexico. The loss of U.S. Jobs is already happening.
Nafta benefits the U.S. more than Mexico. People believe the idea of Nafta was to transfer U.S. Companies to Mexico it’s really a tariff bill which lowered tariffs on U.S. exports to Mexico
Th
The big Controversy over Mexican trucks coming into the U.S. is a big lie pushed and promoted by the Teamsters unions. according to the the (U.S. Transportation) and the (Highway patrol) according to its documented inspection records, Mexico’s trucking is as safe as U.S. trucking in fact Mexico has a safer record for long hauled trucking
According to the (FBI) and the (United Nations) theirs almost 4 times the Murder rate in the U.S. over Mexico
It’s a lie that Mexico is dangerous for Americans unless you’re involved in illegal activities the fact is Americans are safer in Mexico then Mexicans are in the U.S. there is also more American citizens living in Mexico than any other country
The IRS. Collects close to a 100 billion dollars from Illegal Aliens in taxes mostly Social Security (IRS Sit Assed funds) and the money is being stolen as a justification that their Illegal Aliens? But of course their moneys good
This is only the tip of the ice berg
G.A..
Wow...Thank you...THANK YOU!!...
Im glad someone can come up with some facts. I studied economics in college...focused on North American integration...
And yes, it IS only the tip of the iceberg. What is more...how do I say..?disappointing?? Is that most people won't know how to tie everything together to see the big picture of U.S.-Mexico relations...
Nonetheless, every misinformed lunatic is entitled to his/her own opinion as it pertains to this issue....
MaryJ...I feel bad for your children....if you have children...because I can only imagine what the dinner table conversations are like in your home....
Fact:
In January 2010 we can ALL Celebrate the two year aniversary of the start of the E-verify Law, the I.C.E. Deportation Program, the start of the worst Re-cession in U.S. HIstory, followed by the Global Re-cession, and what seems to be worse Racism in America than that of the 1960's.
This Re-cession is very related to the above.
Phx. now has aprox: 30% less Citzens than counted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and we still have the same size of Government Services? (This dos'nt work!)
The hardest hit States and Areas are the ones that lost the most good hard working Human Beings!
If nobody reads Carls articles then how is it I see his writing in the top five most popular articles almost every day? I know, I've read every one of them. I get it! It is a right wing conspiracy! If you look close you'll see he doesn't bash the immigrants he bashes the pathetic losers in congress. How is that racist? The Real racist is the one that perpetuates the race argument because they have no other basis of fact to stand on. Race card losers.
Julie V, you make a good point, Carl himself may be not racist but he is an opportunist. He sees an opportunity that this isuue of immgration gets people's blood boiling, He can peg one person to another and start a heated argument and that spreads hate, He knows that by spewing on this issue and manipulating the facts he gets the ratings you know kinda like Fox, Glenn Beck, Dobbs etc.... Thats all, He is an opportunist. My point is that we have enough hate in this world why can't we try a positive message, Carl, of all poeple knows better but he will use a cheap trick any day becasue other then this issue he is a NO BODY! and he knows it. He will never write an article on any thing else or give out a positive message because he likes it cheap and easy! Most people on this site know this but they ignore this fact. Gang of 100, thats a hidden message of hate, He is using that headline for a reason. Gangs=Immigrants..Get it?Wake up people, We cant afford this hate anymore.
I hope the gang succeeds and you are an idiot. GO IMMIGRATION REFORM!!!
Poor Carl Braun!
You are an idiot! I fell sorry for your poor life!
Go Immigration Reform Now!
The other day I read a page written by an Orangutan, it made more sense and it was cultured and decent than this guy's article.
Your disrespect and hatred towards democratically elected government and officials makes you very fascist and undemocratic. You are completely moronic and hateful. Just because the government (which has the support of the majority in the country) doesnt do your will, you compare them to criminal gangs?
Just continue to spew your hatred, no one cares about a minority group of idiotic, hate-filled, intolerants posessing the lowest IQ you can ever find. CIR will pass as you keep writing your junk.
Examiner hits another low in quality; the zoo probably turns out better articles than this.
Human, That was really funny. LMAO. you are 100% correct.
Tom:
Yes, I fully agree with you. This guy is cheap. I've read a couple of his articles and I can see that his head is hollow. He uses cheap racist tricks to make people's blood boil to get attention...he is just desperate for attention.
LOL...Tom...I couldn't find any other human comparison to this guy's standard...the way he talks about some races is just unhumane
Hmm. Someone who writes provocative articles to inspire some and enrage others. Well, well well, never heard a journalist do that before! Ya ever think...maybe that's his job? He got you talking! Still can't finds the racist comments. i'll keep looking. Oh thats right! He doesn't have to actually MAKE racist comments, you just have to accuse him of doing it! I always get that part mixed up with you lefties. Keep writing Carl! Don't let these wing nuts get under your skin.
The sooner we can defeat any form of amnesty and send illegal ailens back home the better this country will be. And they can take the 30% of the prison population that are illegals back with them. Americans are sick of paying for births, baby food and all the other bills left behind by the illegal aliens in this country. Plan and simple fact: they broke our laws and deserve nothing more than a bus ride back across the border.
The next time any of you doubt the grief illegal aliens have caused in this country just check the facts regarding hospitals and the billions in unpaid bills from illegal aliens spitting out babies (and from other health care) and Americans are stuck paying for it. Don't believe the lies like "they are just here to work" Yea, their here to work the system and have babies and let someone else pay for them.

Hey Rick...
Its easy to watch Lou Dobbs and think you know how the world works...because I can tell that you got about 95 percent of what you just said from his comedy show...
Let me tell you, Rick...you don't sound like the smartest person in the world....
One more thing, Rick...I'm an immigrant and I can tell you that your English grammar is absolutely horrible....not to mention the syntax...
and I'm not even an English major...

DON'T BE AFRAID MY BROTHER USA CITIZEN, WE COME TO YOUR COUNTRY, NOT TO DESTROY, BUT TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL.
If OBAMA would not have kept his word. This would be done already. NO, he wanted the Healthcare. This will end up me paying more TAXES. I barely have enough with what I am earning right now. Took a pay cut, because of the economy and now more TAXES.. I should have voted to McCain. Wait for the next election.....
This used to be a great nation. Nation of immigrants that build this country. Because of RED TAPE like members of the Republican Party. European Nations, China, India has overtaked us. The value of US Dollar is deteriorating, the purchasing power is getting smaller and smaller. It is time for a change. Obama need to stand up with his belief and know what is right from wrong. would benefit us, or not. I always am a great admirer of MLK. his speech, I guess OBAMA does not feel thesame like he is.
Moran CArl you're blessed with ignorance to your convenience. Again immigration reform will pass-keep up your racist articles they just make me push more for immigration reform. Oh and go back to your trailer now. While we immigrants work all the crappy jobs you guys wont take.
Not going to happen, Louie! Congress got their phone system shut down and their butts handed to them in 2007 over this. The unemployment then was at 6%. Now at 10%+ they have ZERO chance.
It's all about the hispandering, you know, empty promises to keep their ethnic/race supporters in line and to keep getting those contributions coming. Then next year they will offer all sorts of excuses why they failed and will say send us more money and we will get it done next time, we promise!
That's worked against the blacks by the democrats for 40 years now. I suspect the spanish speakers will get fooled for at least that long.
Luis Gtuierrez is a traitor to this country, and has many followers. They are working for the anti-American, pro-illegal factions and want nothing more than to see this great country of ours look like the corrupt and violent streets of Juarez. We will keep saying "no" until they understand that no one who broke into our home(our country) should ever be rewarded with amnesty/legalization or especially, citizenship. They have dishonored our laws and just by waving a magic wand will never make them law-abiding, loyal citizens. Instead, start preaching to their countries to straighten up and take care of their own people. We can hardly take care of ourselves anymore and certainly don't need the burden of the those who bring their criminal mindset with them.We have enough criminals here, especially in Congress.
AMNESTY NEVER DEPORTATION RIGHT NOW NO QUESTION ABOUT IT ? WE IN AMERICA HAVE A COUNTRY TO THE SOUTH OF US DISRESPECTING THE U.S.A. IN EVERYWAY? ALSO OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERMENT WORKS WITH MEXICO AND LARAZA WHY TELL ME?SEND ALL THESE ILLEGAL DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE BACK TO MEXICO NOW? AND BUILD A REAL FENCE? ALSO ENFORCE ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW? CAN YOU HEAR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF ALL RACES ALL COLORS OF AMERICA? THINK AMERICAN TRY TO ACT SOME WHAT AMERICAN FEDS HOMELAND SECURITY NOW?AN AMERICAN>>>THIS IS AMERICA NOT MEXICO> THANKS>
Aaah, Billy Bob. You are on the wrong side of both history and demographics on this one. You have already list, you just don't know it yet. A comprehensive immigration reform w/ path to citizenship for hrd-working immigrants is a matter of when, not if, and it is the just and humane thing to do.
