Democrat Representative Luis Gutierrez is speaking at a town hall event in Chantilly, Va and told constituents that they need to support passing the amnesty bill to prevent women from being raped, men and women from dying, or losing a finger, hand, or eye. Wow… talk about fear mongering.
National Review reports the following:
Death, a lost limb or eye, and rape: Those are the possible consequences of not passing immigration reform, according to Representative Luis Gutiérrez. The Illinois Democrat is one of the leading House members pushing for immigration reform.
At a town-hall event in Chantilly, Va., yesterday, Gutiérrez told attendees that while he has objections to the immigration bill passed by the Senate earlier this year, he would “vote for that proposal today . . . even under those harsh conditions” rather than not pass anything. He went on to list a series of cautionary tales about the tragedy that would result should Congress fail to pass an immigration bill:
“Today, someone is going to die in that desert, trying to return to their families, women and men are going to die in that desert; someone’s going to lose a finger, a hand, an eye, a life today because an unscrupulous employer is going to put them in harm’s way, someone’s going to die; there’s a woman that’s going to be raped in a field somewhere in America today because she has no rights in this country, and we need to end that; there are children who are going to cry and there are marriages that are going to be destroyed because someone is going to be deported, and there are going to be children that are going to be left orphaned in this country.”
“For all of those reasons, we would accept [the Senate bill],” Gutiérrez said.
