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.”

The only immigration reform that needs to be done is to first enforce the laws that are in place first then we’ll talk. Send her ass and all others to Russia or Mexico and see how long they would last living there illegally. This country has really gone to $#%&!@*. I believe that all of them sit on the toilet taking a $#%&!@* and come up with all the bull$#%&!@*.
Pelosi–if your positive the votes are there, I have a question, whats it costing you?
I get so tired of this old saw – I guess they cannot stand looking at the fact that they have botched everything they have done as the reason
It looks like all the white dumbocrats are turning black and trying to use the color thing!!!
Maxine, very good post….It’s hard to believe this idiot uses it too.
Maybe theres one in the wood-pile in her family ??? There has to be a reason for this ??
Nancy just needs to sit down and shut up. She is anembarrassement to America.
Consider the source!!! She is so full of c**p, she doesn’t have a clue.
I believe 26 people were sworn in and became US citizens, they did it legally! Now I don’t care if you purple,red, green whatever, you want to be an American citizen then go thru the system, the rest can go back where they came from, I don’t care to support you and your family!
She is delusional again!!!!!!!
