On Saturday, at an event in providence, Rhode Island, Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) gave a speech to a crowd of hundreds of legal immigrants and illegal aliens in which he criticized the federal government over deportations.
The event was one in a series which Gutierrez has planned across the country to gather stories on how deportation are affecting illegal aliens, in an attempt to convince President Obama to limit removals to only those illegal aliens convicted of serious crimes.
The U.S. Congressman spoke to the group gathered at Oliver Hazard Perry Middle School almost entirely in Spanish.
With the DREAM Act defeated…Yet again, Gutierrez proposed amnesty by another name, this time something he calls a “parole-in-place” program which would allow illegal aliens who had their children in the U.S. to stay here with them. Under the Congressman’s proposal, illegal alien spouses of citizens would also qualify for the program.
Gutierrez told reporters that he plans to deliver written messages from illegal aliens to Obama to convince him to “use the discretion the law already confers on him” to establish a “parole-in-place” program.
Gutierrez also used the occasion to criticize the E-Verify and Secure Communities initiatives.
