Rahm Emanuel blocking progress on immigration reform says Hispanic lobby


Bookmark and Share



Rahm Emanuel has emerged as the major problem within the White House on reform of immigration.

A New York Times magazine article due out this Sunday reports that Hispanic leader in Congress believe that he does not take the the issue seriously and is the person blocking progress.

The New York Times writer Peter Baker reports that "The Congressional Hispanic Caucus say he does not pay attention to their issues. Hispanic lawmakers blame him for a provision inserted into the Senate health care legislation that would bar illegal immigrants from buying policies on new insurance exchanges even with their own money, and they complain that he is not putting any energy behind liberalizing immigration laws.

“There are strong feelings about Rahm Emanuel among members of the Hispanic caucus,” Representative Nydia Velázquez of New York, the head of the caucus, told The Times.

“People feel Rahm Emanuel has not been helpful in moving forward. He’s always about the numbers. He’s always about being the pragmatist. He’s always about winning.”

Private criticism of Emanuel by immigration groups is nothing new but the very public nature of these comments is.Emanuel is famously impatient about pushing any legislation that he believes has a low chance of passing, preferring the president spend time on issues that he can get legislation passed on.

His problems with the Hispanic lobby however, may come back to haunt him. The New York Times makes clear he is a Chief of Staff under siege, whose job may be on the line in the next few weeks or so, especially if the health care legislation stalls again. If he is in difficulty the Hispanic lobby is hardly likely to want to help.

The politicians also say the illegals are working jobs americans don't want and pay taxes...well they fail to say the taxes they pay are refunded back to them and they are also pushing them to join unions
The White House considers Illegals asa a voting block.
Ahhh, we were right, this health care bill that is being shoved down our throats is really for the illegals, we knew that but never thought he would actually do it, now Hispanics are taking over the whitehouse? well we wanted change and we are getting it.
Don't worry, Rebelforce...at the rate Ireland's going with their p.c. pandering to non-Irish foreigners, they'll have a hefty number of those vacant homes filled by Africans and Muslims, soon enough.
Ha ha ha ha, the New York Times? They are owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, each and every article they print is biased towards helping Mexicans at American's expense.
I love that term, "immigration reform". "Reform" apparently means get rid of those pesky US immigration laws and let anybody who wants to immigrate to America in, regardless of what the "racist" American citizens want. Question: Why isn't Ireland, with it's thousands of houses sitting empty, offering to take in atleast a few thousand of these illegal aliens here in the USA?
