On Thursday Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) used the time-honored race card, suggesting Republicans who won’t allow a vote on comprehensive immigration reform are racists. She said she believes the reform issue would be different if the illegal immigrants in question were from somewhere like Ireland.
If Pelosi wants actual open and honest debate how can it be helpful to use these race-baiting red herring tactics?
“I think race has something to do with the fact that they’re not bringing up an immigration bill,” she said at her weekly press conference. “I’ve heard them say to the Irish, ‘If it were just you, this would be easy.'”Pelosi and other Democrats have urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to allow a vote on an immigration bill that has support from a majority of the Democratic caucus and three GOP members.
So far, they haven’t had any luck: Boehner promised a piecemeal process, if anything, and has said passing even smaller-scale legislation could be difficult given distrust of the president within the Republican conference. Despite releasing principles for reform in January, there have been no votes on immigration legislation since then.
Pelosi said she believes the bill would pass if Boehner allowed a vote.
“Let’s have a debate,” she said. “We think the votes are there. We’re absolutely certain that they’re there.”

Are they gearing up for elections? The GOP will be racist now. GMAFB!!
I, can remember when President George Bush,had made a comment to allow Immegrants to come into the U.S.to work,but,the Democrarts screamed and,hollered about Bushes suggestion,so it never transpired,but if it did,it would have allowed immegrations to come into the U.S.,to be here on a work visa,the majority of Immegrant’s would make money to send home,and,go back home to their own Country,and,their families. The U.S.Farmers during planting,and,harvesting crops,would love to have these Illegal Immegrants to work for them,to do the manual labor jobs that the majority of Americans do not want.It would have ben a win,win situation,both for U.S.,and,Mexico. On the boarder issue it is not for the illegal immegrants coming into the U.S.to find work,but,to keep undesirables out of America,this includes the murder’s,rapest’s,and the drug trafficers,but he Democrats will never build the wall to keep the undesirables out,but just like Nancy Pelosi,her and her colleges want Illegals her so they can take advantage of the Illegals by paying them scraps,and,threatening them,to call Immegration if they don’t bow to their will. Why do you think that states,and,cities are sanctuary states,and,cities,that’s because these States,and,cities get mega bucks from working tax payers. I would bet you these States,and,cities use most of the money,not on the Poor,or,illegals,but,on their own pork barrel spending. As far as Nancy Pelosi goes,I don’t believe one word that comes out of her mouth,nor,should anyone else. Remember she said you have to pass the law,to know what’s in it,so because of the Democratic majority in Congress passed Obama Care,which had not one Republican vote,but,all the Democratic law maker’s in congress did vote for Obama Care (afforidable Care Act,or,Tax). So America remember this when yo go to the Poles,what Political Party Liesd to you,almost on a Daily basis. I bet you would say Democrat Lawmakers,which would make you Right if this is how you voted.
Lied!
Anything that they can’t get always becomes about race.
What is the % of illegals in her district? She is also against voter ID. She supports anyone who can contribute to her re-election; she has no values, morals or standards; she is a traitor to America of the worst kind.
You can resign any day now Nana….and go to the old folks home…
:O shame on her for playing the race card,,, That’s Obama’s job with Revered Jesse Jackson.
