Gutierrez is unalterably opposed to a bill sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) the House passed Dec. 16 creating new criminal penalties for illegal immigrants, their employers and the people who help them.
Gutierrez decided to ignore the dis, though while factually accurate, portrayed him as a rabble rouser and ignored the point he is part of the House Democratic immigration team and a national spokesman on the issue for the party.
Luis Gutierrez makes me sick pushing amnesty for the 30 millions of illegals, nobody told them to come invading our country, so why the hell should they be complaining.
IL-04 Luis Gutierrez (665 words)
At the same time, Gutierrez' tireless leadership championing the causes of the Latino and immigrant communities has led to greater responsibilities within the U.S. Congress and has earned him widespread acclaim throughout the country-- culminating in his selection as the most admired Latino leader in the country, according to a recent nationwide survey.
Gutierrez campaigned for office in 1992 promising to be a "new kind of Congressman" for the people of his ethnically diverse working- class district.
Additional pieces of legislation introduced by Gutierrez include a bill to reinstate the Section 245(i) visa program, to keep family members united while an individual awaits the awarding of a visa; and a bill to crackdown on firms that overcharge their customers-- in particular, consumers in the Mexican-American community— sending money via international wire transfers.
