5. the political org. La Raza is against it. |
|
because it does not go far enough, and abuses the rights of illegal immigrants who can afford health insurance and wish to buy it.

9. given 12-14 million people w/out status, I can fully understand La Raza. |
|
This bill terrorizes families for no good reason.
But, on the other hand, it does start making some good changes.

15. I don't agree - if La Raza wants to build immigration reform they |
|
should not expect it to happen in a health care bill but they should stand in solidarity if the bill helps legal Hispanics - which it does.
I hope that the next big issue is immigration reform, it will bring needed relief to hard working legal abiding aliens and divide the Republicans - a valuable twofer.

16. Oh, please don't get me wrong. I agree with you. |
|
And I also see the need for access to health care for all immigrants, legal and those without status. Simply from a humanitarian view.

18. I understand I just think that La Raza is taking the short view |
|
A failure on the HCR would doom immigration reform, a victory on HCR makes it more likely.
I want to see it passed for a lot of humanitarian reasons but I also think that it would split the Republicans.

10. Reminds me of primary season where superdelegates |
|
Slowly trickled out until it was clear Obama would win, and then that trickle turned into an unstoppable flood.

13. Gracias, Luis! We'll be there for immigration reform for you. |
|
We marched with you from Union Park to Grant Park a few years back, and I remember your speech (Then Senator Obama was there, too, and Reps. Schakowsky and Emanuel as well). We were 500,000 strong then. This time, we'll get it.
