On Tuesday Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) was arrested outside of the White House during a Dream Act rally. The Congressman was reportedly arrested after refusing to move when asked by authorities. MRCTV brings us the explanation and video:
Gutierrez, who sat in front of a sign that read “Stop Separating Our Families” with a line of protesters, refused to leave when asked by the police. Gutierrez was in attendance at a rally urging President Obama to do more to stop the deportation of illegal immigrants.
MRCTV caught up with Gutierrez before he was arrested in which he said, “I think (President Obama) should use the broad discretionary power that the laws have conferred upon him and make decisions, smart decisions” in regards to deportation. The arrest occurred around 4:40 pm.
Watch the scene unfold below:
But this isn’t the first time Gutierrez has been arrested. According to reports, Gutierrez was arrested in 2000 along with Lolita Lebron — the Puerto Rican national who spent 25 years in prison for a shooting attack on the U.S. Congress nearly a half-century ago — during a supposedly “nonviolent” resistance against the federal government. The Nation reports:
Forty-six years after Lolita Lebrón and fellow Puerto Rican nationalists shot up the House of Representatives, wounding five members in a desperate act of defiance, Lebrón, along with Puerto Rican members of Congress Luis Gutiérrez and Nydia Velázquez, were arrested for an act of nonviolent resistance against the federal government. On May 4, 300 US Marshals and FBI agents cleared about 200 demonstrators from a Navy bombing range on the embattled island of Vieques. “Puerto Rico has been invaded again,” said New York City Councilman José Rivera as he was led away. For Puerto Ricans on the island and the mainland, this was just another display of nineteenth-century gunboat diplomacy.
And then, in 2010, Gutierezz was arrested yet again in front of the White House along with about 35 other illegal immigration advocates, after reportedly defying police orders to move during a protest.
So is Rep. Gutierrez perhaps engaging in Saul Alinsky’s tactics of civil disobedience to achieve his goals?

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 9:07pmThe 14th amendment of the United States Constitution says “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The United States, by law, can’t deport an American citizen for no reason.
People come the the US because they can can make money here. Stop US employeers from hiring immigrants, and almost all immigration would stop. But, I know, having cheap labor would penalize businesses, it would, in fact, be a tax on them. So we’re not going to that!

He cares only about Hispanic immigration, Hispanic causes and Hispanics as “his people.” If he were told illegal immigration was going to break the economic back of this country he wouldn’t care. He would continue working to bring in more illegals and to try to keep the ones here from getting deported. He wants this country for “his people.”
Eric Holder works only for “his people.“ Guitterrez works only for ”his people.” Neither are denounced as racists.
On the other hand whites are denounced as racists simply for wanting to save their culture, language, traditions and history. The pendulum has swung too far to the left. It’s time to say goodby to this evil empire and start anew.
He’s a traitor and a seditionist.
