Rep. Luis Gutierrez, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Immigration Task Force, is one of the leaders of the charge for comprehensive immigration reform. House Democrats hope to send a bill to President Obama next spring. Here’s Luis Gutierrez, bragging about the proposed bill:
Our bill will be to immigration reform what the public [...]
In the time of Bush, what does it take to save a man from being royally f*cked by the all-knowing, all-wise federal government?
Judging by the story of Thomas Warziniack, it takes something suspiciously like divine intervention.
You can be born and brought up in the United States, with papers and everything, even a birth certificate. [...]
The environment is in safe hands, after all, under the Bush administration.
Even if the EPA lets all kinds of stuff slip through the cracks, Secretary Chertoff and the Homeland Security Department are there to pick up the slack:

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., a champion of Utah taking its place in the global economy, finds [...]
I certainly don’t claim to possess the wisdom of Solomon, but in my own modest way I would like to make a constructive contribution to the English-as-an-official-language debate.
Since it would be far too ignominious to require the President to go out and learn a new language at his age, the Senate should drop [...]
Faulty methodology? Biased questions? Librul Agenda? Probably.
A survey of 800 registered Hispanic voters conducted May 11-15 by the nonpartisan Latino Coalition showed that Democrats were viewed as better able to handle immigration issues than Republicans, by nearly 3 to 1: 50 percent to 17 percent.
