“I have heard members of the House of Representatives say, ‘Choking off the jobs of illegals will cause them to starve and force them to leave our country,’ I stand with hundreds of thousands of ministerial colleagues who will go to jail if necessary rather than to starve 12 million people and their 3 million American citizen children.”
This from Rev. Luis Cortés, Jr., president of Esperanza USA, at one of the Senate Judiciary Field Hearing on immigration in Philadelphia July 5, 2006, regarding the House Bill H.R. 4437 and the Senate Bill 2611. I’d love to know which members of the House he heard saying that.
