While one of our Democratic leaders was pleading that the GOP should not use immigrants as scapegoats as they had other minorities....Rahm was telling the candidates he handled to "go right" to win on such issues. It was shameful.
Obama, Howard Dean speak up against attacks on immigrants...Rahm says "move right to win"It's got to be one or the other, because Rahm Emanuel is behind efforts to build Democratic support for the Shuler/Tancredo "enforcement-only" bill currently winding its way through the House.
Think about it -- our House leadership is strong-arming Democrats into backing a bill which is the central agenda of the biggest racist xenophobe Tom Tancredo.
..."So we won, didn't we? Not according to Rahm and the either bigoted or scared contingent in the House that is ready to -- once again and demonstrably so -- be on the wrong side of the American public on this issue.
Americans don't want hate-based anti-immigration rhetoric and action, they want comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders and provides a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants in this country.
