Lauding the Obama administration for its new policies on deportation, U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez announced plans to hold a public forum on September 10 to help educate the public on the changes and what they will mean for thousands of families across the nation. The congressman is making the move in hopes of cutting potential scams off at the pass.
"To the community we are saying, 'Be patient and be careful,'" Gutierrez said at a press conference earlier today. "We do not want you to fall victim to false promises and those who would exploit your hopes and fears for profit. We will work hard in the coming days to clarify these new policies and get you correct information."
The Obama administration has recently announced that it will begin to reviewing the deportee list on a case-by-case basis in order to remove those who have close ties to the U.S., like those with immediate family members who are in the military or U.S. citizens. People without a criminal record would also be removed. Gutierrez, who was arrested a couple months back while protesting Obama's record on immigration and the lack of reform, says the plan is an appropriate compromise.
"The president recognizes that too many families and innocent bystanders were getting caught up in his effort to deport serious criminals and he has acted to address that, at least in part," Gutierrez said.
The congressman says the Obama administration's revised deportation policies put the country on the right path for making fair and meaningful immigration reform a reality.
"The new policies move us in the right direction by targeting scarce law enforcement resources at criminals and gang-bangers and making our communities safer," he added. "Now we have to take the positive actions of the Obama Administration and make sure it translates into actually protecting DREAM Act students and making sure families are not split apart."
Gutierrez has plans to meet with senior staff at the Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) next week to discuss the intricacies of the new policies as well as ways in which local politicians can fulfill the help requests of individuals and families facing deportation.
As part of his efforts to spread accurate information about the new deportation policies, the congressman has two calls scheduled this evening with thousands of English and Spanish speakers to discuss the ins and outs of the Obama administration's new deportation policies.

Congressman Gutierrez may have two immigrations policies –a progressive one for the 11 million undocumented illegal aliens in the U.S. that supports an eventual pathway to citizenship, and another unjust one for the 16,000 documented, legal foreign workers of the Northern Marinas Islands (CNMI) that would keep them disenfranchised, restrict their travel and deny them of basic human, social and political rights. He and other “immigration champions” co-sponsored an un-American and undemocratic bill that mirrors the post-Civil War Black Codes. Join human and immigration rights advocates in asking Congressman Gutierrez to explain why he betrayed 16,000 legal foreign workers who have given decades of their lives to live the American Dream and will now be separated from their families and returned to homelands penniless and with no opportunities. Ask him why he is willing to inflict irreversible harm to 16,000 legal, long-term de facto citizens of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas.

It’s time to expose hard -core leftist Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who has taken it upon herself in contracting with foreign countries to pamper illegal aliens. This is outrageous and unconstitutional in signing some formal alliance with diplomats from a group of Latin American nations. Her intent to shelter of what Solis described as the labor rights, for both legal and illegal migrants working unlawfully in America. First President Obama signs into law an unauthorized fiat to preselect only heinous criminal aliens, but other illegal aliens are to be set free, with the possibility of a working visa. Then we have Solis, who interprets as the labor rights for both legal and illegal immigrants working in the U.S. Both Obama and Solis have ignored the US Constitution our “Rule of Law” and gone over the heads of Congress. In a signing ceremony between the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and El Salvador and adjoining with Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala, who had signed this agreement in the past?
\This newly revised agreement that U.S. Labor Secretary signed with Latin American nations is supposedly aimed at protecting both legal and illegal workers in this country, by educating employers and workers alike about health, safety, and wage laws. This women needs to get her head on straight, because she is scheming with the open border nuts, and foreign countries contravening against real American workers. Is this why Eric Holder, the Department of IN-Justice tearing at the financial throats of Arizona, Alabama and Georgia to attempt in lowering their defenses, creating pressure on struggling States. Its apparent intent to make other states think twice before employing their own policing laws, in saving these states from insolvency? Pay attention to the fact, if you came to America legally of any religious denomination--if you are Black, White, Hispanic or any other race and undertook the documentation to join our culture; have always been welcome.
This President and his officials are a humiliating every working American of all occupational levels. Solis promotes illegal immigration, which once the signal goes out will draw into America more foreigners, which taxpayers will be burdened with? We need a president who cares for the American people, the 14 million citizens and residents, with the majority still looking for work. The Labor Department on its website says the (INA.) The Immigration & Nationality Act only protects "U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the U.S. from discrimination in hiring or discharge." Solis seems to have amended INA policy on her own, saying at the signing ceremony Solis stated:
“No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights,” Solis said. “You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage. We gather here today to strengthen our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States. Unfortunately, due to language barriers and immigration status, migrant workers can be those that are most vulnerable abused.”
Illegal Immigration is a spreading contagion, that must be diminished and eventually end as a trickle. In today's NumbersUSA, Eurofresh Inc., the nation’s largest grower of greenhouse tomatoes, last week pleaded guilty to knowingly hiring illegal aliens and was fined $600,000. The Arizona-based company will remain on probation for five years. $ 600.000 is a worthy fine for stealing jobs from Americans, but somebody should go to prison. AS I HAVE CONTINUALLY REPEATED, WHY ISN'T ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION A FELONY AS IN OTHER COUNTRIES? THAT WAY WE COULD CONSTRUCT A JAIL SYSTEM LIKE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFFS JOE ARPAIO TENT CITY IN ARIZONA?
All illegal aliens should be removed from regular jails and prisons and placed in Arizona’s notorious Joseph M. Arpaio canvas city prison and it would change anybody’s mind in illegally coming here. Joe's tent city is an equally opportunity criminal incarceration compound, with high wire fences and attired with razor wire. Hundreds of thousands in jail for Drunken driving killers, child and female attacks, homicides and you name it; Let the Sheriff's Joe's cuisine, for ten years and temperatures reaching 110 degrees under canvas. Millions of illegal aliens from across the borders and tourist over-stay’s, would only be too happy to go home, after living on the daily sustenance of Boloney sandwiches. Arpaio makes the inmates wear pink underwear and the usual critics have complained that it’s a cruel and unusual punishment, though no one can find a law against it. American society should build more of these tent cities for illegal immigrant invaders, in desert areas and make it uncomfortable to stay here. Then make Joe Arpaio as warden to enforce our laws.
Taking money from taxpayers to support foreigners is downright treasonous and must stop. Giving out $113 Billion a year in entitlements to foreign nationals to pacify the open borders set and the Leftist extremist minority is a disgusting situation must end. That’s why millions of Americans tormented by this financial, moral and legal evidence is joining the conservative TEA PARTY. Under scrutiny are the executive directives Of Eric Holder, so is there another move of Obama’s Liberal soldiers to covertly pass another damaging amnesty as in 1986, the TEA PARTY will be ready to scream “impeachment.” The Tea Party is not growing by the hundreds, but millions and expected to vote into the political arena, even more moderate conservative leaders. Under the TEA PARTY agenda there will be no Amnesties, Sanctuary cities or States, no Dream Acts and no policies that rescind the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control bill.

It's nice to have a representative that does nothing for any other race but his own then has the nerve to move out of the district because he's hasn't the balls to live among his own.
How is that nice white Portage Park, Luis?
