Wednesday during a meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) warned the Republicans that after President Barack Obama fulfills his promise to uses an executive order to grant amnesty for up to 6 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States, if they try and reverse it in any way, “They will be the end of the Republican Party as a national party in the United States of America.”
The Illinois congressman said, “Imagine for a moment the president of the United States makes an announcement. We figure out who the 5 million, 6 million people are. We get ready to register them and the Republican majority decides they will obstruct the process. They will be the end of the Republican Party as a national party in the United States of America, because then it won’t be that the Democrats didn’t act and that the Republicans didn’t act. It will be the last act.”
“This is a concrete example of justice for a community of people that we love and cherish and will defend. I’m ready for the president to act. And let me tell you something. Whoever attacks the decision of the president to bring justice and fairness to millions of undocumented immigrants and allow them to have justice in this country, I’m ready for that fight and I’m ready to join everybody in this room in winning that fight.”
