According to Pelosi (D-CA), Enforcing the Law is "Terrorizing"
U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday police raids on dozens of U.S. Wal-Mart stores in the search for illegal immigrants this week amounted to "terrorizing" workers.
"It instills a great deal of fear in people who are only trying to earn a living and put food on the table for their family," Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters on a Congressional visit to Mexico.

This is outrageous. More political pandering from the left. No more. No less. Congresswoman Pelosi continues to not get it. We have to know exactly who is here and why. She does make one good point, we should apply pressure on the employers to comply with the law. But for me, that is an addition to cracking down on the immigration violations. Illegals take jobs away from American citizens who are currently on welfare. And that is not acceptable.There are two reasons to continue the crackdown against illegal immigration: (1) security threats and potential terrorism; and (2) securing American jobs for Americans.
Illegal aliens do not have rights in this country. You have to be a citizen for that. They shouldn't get driver's licenses. And we shouldn't accept foreign IDs as legal documentation. And we most definately shouldn't ignore them when we know they are here. We should, in fact, send them back home. There are many who come to this country legally that are held up in red tape while the illegals get rewarded for violating the process. It isn't fair. And it isn't right. And the Congresswoman from California should know that by now.
Mark's Remarks
Ms. Pelosi has made a career of pandering to whatever interests are en vogue. Look at her positions on Iraq...before we went in, when she and her fellow Congresspeople (please liberals, note I used the p.c. term) urged us to make sure Iraq was held accountable. She read the same intelligence as the President and agreed to go in. She agreed with her "good friend" President Clinton, and go in. Of course, now that some have changed their tune, she jumps right in and changes as well.
This pandering further illustrates the main problem with the Democrats. They have NO vision, other than socialism...They have NO ideas of their own, instead mishmashing special interests' concerns, and they have no ideological base, other than hatred for a man who sought to work with them, and who has not engaged in the vicious attacks of those who would seek to bring him down, as well as those who have supported him. I myself have been subjected to these attacks, being called "a big fat idiot" and the like by some. Well, you can call me fat, but I am no idiot. I do not pander to every special interest trying to get votes. I have some fortitude to take responsiblity for my actions and move forward, not to deny responsibility for my own decisions, like Ms. Pelosi and her D fellow Congresspeople have done.
Her stance on this latest issue is appalling. Calling our law enforcement officials terrorists for enforcing the law? Equating holding people accountable for illegal actions akin to the scum we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? How truly intelligent, how truly honorable...NOT!!! How truly disgusting, how truly morally bankrupt, Ms. Pelosi. You, and your ilk, are symptomatic of the liberals and Democrats today. No vision, no ideas, no clear path. You simply take the most expedient comments and mishmash.
