Its time to pull the teeth of the CHC
Posted Today at 09:56 AM by Ron Gotcher

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has decided that there will be no
immigration legislation considered by Congress unless it includes an amnesty
for illegal aliens. "It is unacceptable that we should consider piecemeal
solutions to a problem as complex as immigration reform," said Congressman
Luis V. Gutierrez, Chair of the CHC Immigration Task Force.

“For months, the Democratic majority and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
have prevented the House of Representatives from voting on critical
immigration legislation, including a border security bill and an emergency
increase in H-1B visas for American high-tech companies,” Rep. Lamar Smith
of Texas said in a statement. “They have held this legislation hostage to
their demand for a massive amnesty for 12 million illegal immigrants, a
demand that the Senate has already rejected.”

Many in the Democratic party have tried to persuade the CHC to modify its
position and allow limited emergency relief to be considered. Rep. Raul
Grijalva of Arizona called the Democratic caucus "spineless." "Today my
party wants to do what is easy, not exactly what is right," said Rep. Luis
Gutierrez of Illinois. "The leaders in our party who are arguing for
consideration of helping just a few immigrants are risking the future of all
immigrants."

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who chairs the House Judiciary immigration
subcommittee, said in an interview that it would be difficult to pass a
comprehensive bill this year given the Senate's failure. "I guess the real
question is if you can't do everything you want is that an excuse for doing
nothing," said Lofgren.
The 24 member CHC has brought the Congress to a standstill on this issue.
Who are these people who have such power over the lives of the millions
affected by their stand? They are:

Joe Baca (CA43)
Raul M. Grijalva (AZ07)
Charles A. Gonzalez (TX20)
Grace F. Napolitano (CA38)
Xavier Becerra (CA31)
Dennis Cardoza (CA18)
Jim Costa (CA20)
Henry Cuellar (TX28)
Charles A. Gonzalez (TX20)
Raul M. Grijalva (AZ07)
Luis V. Gutierrez (IL04)
Rubén Hinojosa (TX15)
Robert Menendez (NJ)
Grace F. Napolitano (CA38)
Solomon Ortiz (TX27)
Ed Pastor (AZ04)
Silvestre Reyes (TX16)
Ciro Rodriguez (TX23)
Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA34)
John Salazar (CO03)
José Serrano (NY16)
Albio Sires (NJ13)
Hilda Solis (CA32)
Nydia Velázquez (NY12)

If you care about this issue, write to your Congressional representative now
. Tell him or her that you insist that they stop caving in to the demands of
the CHC and allow votes to take place on immigration relief. You can find
your Congressional representative by going to http://capwiz.com/vva/dbq/officials/ and entering your ZIP code.

Be aggressive. Donate to the campaign funds of opponents of CHC members. If
your own Congressional representative refuses to get involved, donate to the
campaign of his or her opponent and make sure that you let your
representative know that you are doing this and why. Unless and until
members of Congress understand that there are consequences for their actions
in acquiescing to the demands of the CHC, they will continue to do so. Make
it painful for them to continu
