Dems revolt on the House floor over GOP immigration plan
by Pete Kasperowicz | Jan 10, 2018, 1:30 PM

Democrats tried to hold up legislative work in the House on Wednesday by demanding votes that it adjourn three times, forcing Republicans to waste time on these procedural motions each time.

Democrats disapprove of the Trump administration's decision to revoke temporary protected status for thousands of Salvadorans, and also oppose the GOP plan to impose tougher border restrictions as part of a larger immigration plan.

They specifically are demanding protection for Dreamers as part of a spending bill next week. But Republicans are demanding that this immigration matter be delayed until March.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., made the first motion to adjourn in protest of the GOP position. He was followed by Reps. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., and Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.

The House defeated those motions each time, but it wasn't clear early Wednesday afternoon how many more protest votes would be demanded.

As Americans, we must ask ourselves: Are we really so different? We must put aside the fact that ALL blue-state residents are godless unpatriotic pierced-nose Volvo-driving France-loving left-wing communist latte-sucking tofu-chomping holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie perverts.

Gutierrez is simply building up his resume for his presidential bid in 2020. In the end, he'll give his support to the one who gives him the most money.

They all came from NY and NJ because of high taxes.....which is why they vote for candidates here who want higher taxes. I am guessing they are all heading to VA after they ruin PA.

Grijalva is just like Gutierrez, but without the sunshiny disposition.

Seems like just yesterday, but I spent a few days in Gutierrez's district about 5 years ago. A local bank was closed by the state of Illinois, and the FDIC was sent in to clean it up. 98% of the population there is Hispanic, and they had unusual ways of collecting mortgages. The bank had collectors that would go pick up the payments in cash.

Anyway, top management at FDIC was scared to death of Luis, and they made a number of concessions to transfer the good assets to a local credit union. I helped with the modification of a few hundred home mortgages, it was a productive three days.

I will not say anything bad about  Forester.  I walked away from one that got totalled after a blowout caused it to swerve and hit the middle cement median.

It kept me from making my court appointment, too.

Lucky me on both accounts.
