Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) interrogated Marielena Hincapie, the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, during a Tuesday House hearing on President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration reform after she seemingly suggested race may be the basis behind the GOP’s opposition to the unilateral action.
“I could’ve sworn in response to a question you received… you suggested race is the basis for why we may have this constitutional perspective,” Gowdy said to Hincapie. “Did I understand you correctly?”
“I believe I was responding to the question about, is there an explanation about why…” Hincapie began before being cut off.
“Well let me offer another explanation to you, OK? Not a single Republican who is here right now has ever served under a Republican president — not one. So I hope I do live long enough to hold a Republican president to the exact same standard that I am holding this one. But for you to run to race as the explanation for why we hold the position that we do.”

I love this one! Thank God that Kurt Gowdy had such a wonderful son! She ran out of bullets on this one!
The real threat is not race, but the foundation of our economy. If you own a business would you rather hire someone who is entitled to unemployment benefits, government mandated health care, minimum wage etc. or would you rather hire several undocumented illegals who are granted amnesty and given a work visa who are not entitled to such things as they are still not citizens? Do the math if unconstitutional legislation continues to pass why not just throw out the whole thing and bend over backwards wile were at it. But on the flip side many queries have yet to be answered on if this new work force will be required to pay income taxes and help our overburdened social net but what is certain is that they will be entitled to many social benefits that citizens pay into and rarely enjoy to use of.
