MYSTATELINE.COM: San Francisco, CA -- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says the enforcement of existing immigration laws is "un-American." Pelosi made the comments before a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families in San Francisco recently.
While condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Pelosi said, quote, "who in [in] this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families? It must be stopped. What value system is that? I think it's un-American."
Speaking before a mostly Hispanic gathering at a San Francisco church, the Speaker went on to call the immigrants, quote, "very, very patriotic" while telling the crowd they were, quote, "taking responsibility for our country's future."
Not everyone in the crowd was pleased with Pelosi's sentiments.
Rick Oltman, with Californians for Population Stabilization, said he was embarrassed by what Pelosi said.
Oltman charged the speaker with pandering to the crowd by exhorting illegals for taking responsibility for our country's future.
Oltman said Pelosi was insulting American citizens who consider themselves to be patriotic and obey the rule of law. [Source: MyStateLine.com] Copyright 2009 by Newsroom Solutions | Thursday, March 19, 2009
