“I’m very sad and disappointed that comprehensive immigration reform is not a key and pivotal point for the Democrats,” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.)
“At a closed-door meeting of the Democratic Steering & Policy Committee on Tuesday, New York Rep. José Serrano, the panel’s vice chairman, challenged Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) over the lack of any mention of immigration reform in the caucus’s new 25-page agenda document for 2007. The confrontation created a tense moment in the room, said one participant.
Other Democrats agree with Serrano that their party should make known its position on an issue important to Hispanic voters, whom many political strategists believe will be a crucial voting bloc in the future because of their surging numbers. “
