Democratic Hispanic lawmakers lashed out at their own party Wednesday for planning hearings on immigration enforcement legislation and “piecemeal” visa reform measures while ignoring broader reforms.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, a leader on immigration issues, said that Democrats were “no better than the Republican majority” if they didn’t offer a solution for all immigrants, including those in the United States illegally.
He said that millions of immigrants and their supporters didn’t stage giant marches in 2006 “for a handful of visas.””*
