The Senate is set to vote on a controversial immigration bill. If it fails, Rep. Luis Gutiérrez tells Bryan Curtis he’s prepared to ditch Obama and the Democrats—and take the movement to the streets.
This man is choosing our cause over his seat in the Congress. He is putting money on it. I'm not a pessimist nor a cynic. But Obama and Democrats did not deliver. It's not that they could not, they did not. We had the political capital to pass this easy Dream Act in the first year. What does Obama do now? Wait until the final hour as a last minute ditch to pass it. What? Like Republican senators are supposed to vote yes because they received a phone call from some black guy they hate? 260 House Democrats and 59 Senate Democrats could not get the job done. What makes you think Republican take over of House and 53 Democrats in the Senate will get it done?

I'm with Gutierrez. He's a freakin gangster. Tomorrow we are the civil rights advocates.

Sorry, but I had to chuckle on this one. The American people have a reason to be angry at us. We are not citizens or rightful residents. Anyhow, lets keep the momentum guys, it is only a matter of days.

Neither were Blacks and Chinese. (Edit: Yes, although slaves were free long time ago, it wasn't until the civil rights era that they were enfranchised again) They got it done. Granted it took them a while, but we need to at least put up a fight.

Slaves were freed way before their civil rights movement. *sigh*
