Strike one, Obama flips bird at Main Street Americans, bitch slaps Blue Collar workers in throwing a bone to Illegal Aliens, naming Rep. Rahm Emanuel his chief of staff. Talk about tongue sucking the anal cavity of the Pro Illegal Alien movement...you could not throw them a bigger bone than coming out the morning after you are elected the President of the People(people being legal citizens)and naming Rahm Emanuel your Chief of Staff. Barack Obama might as well declare the White House a Safe Haven Community for Illegal Aliens. In one move, Barack Obama has sent a clear signal to America's Blue Collar, Main Street citizens that we take a back seat to Illegal Aliens. What is next, placing want ads in Calderon's monthly newsletter seeking White House lawn staff?CUSA outsourced some INS citizenship requirement programs (English language testing, for example), and was designed to speed up citizenship opportunities so that newly minted citizens could vote for the Democrat party, if not in 1996, then in 1998 and 2000.
Emanuel has denied any role, though the 2000 report makes clear he was involved.

This is particularly disgusting on the Democratic side, mainly because the Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of the little guy, and of fairness. Instead, it is becoming the party of Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) - the former investment banker and NAFTA architect who is cravenly trying to protect the moneyed interests that have underwritten his political career by playing to the ugliest societal instincts. The whole debate is about how much or little to punish undocumented workers - rather than about how to punish the moneyed interests that are abusing all workers, undocumented or otherwise.
Why only this week our watchdog media is studiously ignoring this report from the DNC’s Associated Press:
Report: Rep. Emanuel Has Millions In Blind Trusts
Trusts For Emanuel Or His Children May Be Worth Up To $28 Million

(AP) WASHINGTON A financial disclosure report shows that U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) still has much of his assets in a blind trust.
But one fact remains clear: the Chicagoan is a millionaire many times over.
In his report for 2006, blind trusts for either Emanuel or his children were valued at between $6.5 million and $28 million.
Emanuel’s share was between $5 million and $25 million. It brought in between $250,000 to $400,000 in income.
Last year, Emanuel was chairman of the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
How on earth could an honest politician ever amass such a large fortune?
The new "golden boy" of the Democrat Party, the Israeli-American congressman Rahm Emanuel, is the son of a terrorist.
Really, I am not making this up, the chief power-broker of the Democrat Party, the 5-and-a-half foot foul-mouthed Israeli named Rahm, is the son of terrorist – a real living terrorist.
So, what do we do as citizens of the land of the free and the home of the brave fighting the War on Terror?
Do we run and hide from the foul-mouthed little Israeli who danced ballet and swears for effect - or do we laugh? Or do we demand answers? How can we respect a U.S. Congressman who served in a foreign army and whose father was a terrorist?
But even in the early stages of this renewed effort, negotiations have only underscored the party's problems. Some Democratic leaders want what they call a "mini bill," emphasizing border control, penalties on firms that employ illegal immigrants and stronger efforts to deny illegal immigrants government benefits. But Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), the point man on the bill, said he will never accept a measure that does not include a pathway to citizenship for the 12 million undocumented workers in the country.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Washington D.C.) Today, as the House of Representatives prepares to recess and turn its focus to the priorities of a new Congress, and Jews across the world prepare to celebrate the beginning of a new year, Hispanic and Jewish Members of Congress proudly announced a shared commitment to immigrants of all faiths and backgrounds.
In a statement signed by 20 U.S. Representatives, including Chicago Reps Rahm Emanuel (IL-05) and Luis V. Gutierrez (IL-04), Members declared that, "It is in this spirit of our shared experiences and common goals that we put forth our shared priorities for fair and workable immigration reform."
In order to keep pressure on Congress to pass an immigration bill dealing with national security as well as the plight of illegal immigrants in the U.S., Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) will launch an ``aggresive'' citizenship drive.
Last week, I did a Luis vs Lou column and blog post....about how Gutierrez' appearence with CNN's Lou Dobbs a week ago might have triggered fireworks--but did not.
Dobbs very kindly noted the Sun-Times coverage on his show Wednesday. He opined that the reporter--hey that's me!-- was ``obviously devastated'' that the two had ``not gone down to the level fisticuffs'' over the issue of illegal immigration.
GUTIERREZ TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE NEW INITIATIVE TO
KEEP PRESSURE ON LAWMAKERS TO ENACT COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM
COALITION TO LAUNCH AGGRESSIVE NATIONWIDE CITIZENSHIP DRIVE
Campaign designed to harness the strength
and power of massive marches through
nationwide citizenship workshops
WHAT: U.S. Representative Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), chair of the
Democratic Caucus Immigration Task Force, will be joined by local lawmakers,
representatives from community based organizations and a diverse group of
immigrant and labor leaders at a press conference Monday, April 17, 2006, at
10:00 a.m., to announce a new initiative designed to keep pressure on
lawmakers to enact comprehensive immigration reform.
In an effort to build on the strength and importance of the recent rallies
and massive marches, Rep. Gutierrez will work with event organizers and
elected officials across the country to create an aggressive nationwide
citizenship campaign.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "The heated political debate over
immigration has sent foreigners who legally live in the U.S. scrambling in
record numbers to find out how to become citizens." In Chicago, Rep.
Gutierrez has helped more than 40,000 individuals on the path to permanency.
He will utilize the best practices of his citizenship workshops in Illinois
to create a nationwide campaign to help legal permanent residents across the
country to achieve the American Dream. Based on statistics from the
Department of Homeland Security, eight million immigrants are currently
eligible for citizenship.
WHEN: Monday, April 17, 2006, at 10:00 a.m.
WHERE: Casa Aztlán (1831 S. Racine Ave., 2nd Floor)
WHO: U.S. Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, local lawmakers,
representatives from community based organizations and immigrant and labor
Flake and LaHood meet regularly with Illinois Democratic Reps. Rahm Emanuel and Luis V. Gutierrez. Emanuel has been the top Democrat pushing immigration reform in the House, and Gutierrez co-authored the comprehensive overhaul that he and Flake reintroduced this year.
"It's important that this issue have a bipartisan solution," Emanuel said. "The four of us are friends. We trust one another, and we enjoy working together."
The foursome meets at least once a month with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez, the administration's point men on the issue.
“As the son of an immigrant and a resident of Chicago, I know first-hand, that immigrants make this country strong. Those who have lived in this country for years - who have held jobs, started families and established roots in American communities - deserve the opportunity to earn their citizenship,” said Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL). “This legislation enhances protections for immigrants already living and working in the U.S., provides for effective security enforcement, assists in family reunification, encourages legality at our borders, and most importantly treats all immigrants with the dignity and respect they deserve. I am proud to join members from both sides of the aisle in introducing this reform.”
“Only a comprehensive immigration reform plan like the STRIVE Act will help us achieve an effective, lasting, and viable solution to the immigration issues facing our nation,” said Congressman Luis G. Fortuño (R-PR), chair of the Congressional Hispanic Conference.
