Latina Activist Lorella Praeli victoriously spoke to the program“Democracy Now” on Monday over Obama’s executive order on halting deportation. Praeli is herself an illegal immigrant but was able to graduate from Quinnipiac University in 2o11, which she attended on a scholarship
She is a member of the United We Dream National Coordinating Committee.
LORELLA PRAELI:
- “I really don’t want to call it the Marco Rubio DREAM Act. It’s not a DREAM Act. It’s not the bill that we’ve envisioned. But I think Marco Rubio did some to open up the political space to talk about this, to talk about it.”
- “And that is not giving him credit; that is just acknowledging that he was one of the players that kind of pushed for this to happen or that allowed us to push for this to happen. And I don’t know—we haven’t gone back.”
- What I would say is that I would find it incredibly difficult, politically, for anyone to come into any future president of the United States, if we have not moved on the congressional front on this, to say, ‘I’m just going to take this away from people,‘ because I think we’ve shown America the contributions that we make. We’re American in every sense of the word, except for we’re not legal.”
- “And we’re going to be able to continue in a very different way to contribute with now being able to enter the job market. And it would be very difficult for someone to say, ‘I’m just going to take 800,000 people’s work permit.’”
- “So I think that we have to pause for a second and just acknowledge what kind of a victory this is. I think this will redefine the immigrant rights movement in this country, and I think we’re taking a lead now. You know, like now we’re—I think we’re unstoppable.”
- “And I think that’s what America is beginning to really embrace. We’re not—you know, I don’t call myself an illegal immigrant. And so, now we’re really kind of really pushing for ‘undocumented Americans,’ Americans in every sense of the word. And I think America is ready for that. They’ve shown that on Friday. They show that today. They show it every day in the small interactions that don’t get covered.”

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 6:30amAnd I think you should pay Quinnipiac University back for the scholarship you received since you ARE NOT LEGAL. Why do legal, taxpaying citizens have to spend a fortune to send their kids to school ? Because people like this are taking advantage of a F***ED up system and getting dollars that should be going to CITIZENS.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 6:24amThis is all part of “The Plan”.
A great book on how the communists have taken over our institutions – churches, schools, businesses, government and Military is – The Naked Truth: The Naked Communist – Revisited
by James C. Bowers
http://www.amazon.com/The-Naked-Truth-Communist-Revisited/dp/093616316X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339153878&sr=8-1
He discusses how W. Cleon Skousen ( author of the 5000 Year Leap ) was an FBI agent for 16 years and was concerned about the implementation of what he felt were the top 45 stated goals of the communists at that time. You will be shocked how successfully their plans have been completed. A MUST READ book for any freedom loving American. Please pass on to others when done reading – SPREAD THE WORD
Also – A MUST SEE – watch the youtube video of Yuri Bezmenov, from the 80′s with G. Edward Griffin ( Jekyll Island author ). A Soviet KGB defector, he tells how it was his job to infiltrate these institutions and place communist supporters in positions of leadership and power. He was successful in doing so. Mind boggling stuff.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 2:18amI am speechless. How could she steal my money for her scholarship? That is gross! And she shamelessly accuse legal citizens for what? Ms. Praeli, you really have to ask yourself who do you think who you are! You should come over here legally like me and then you can talk.
Report Post »I come here and pay all my tuition and study hard to grand a working opportunity and being proved as a outstanding personnel then I earn my right to stay here. YOU, YOU had already lost your chance to prove yourself as a good citizen because you stole and cheat. What a low blow!

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 10:14pmYou go Vote for Paul. Your statement smacks of Racism. That which the other side claims you are. So you are playing into their hand, huh. So you’d let that Racism thing make your choice for you. What you Paul people fail to understand is a vote for Paul is a vote for Obama. And that is exactly the way their playing you.
Report Post »Isn’t the Country, the one you claim Obama is destroying a little more important than to allow the Great Destroyer another term. You want to go all the way to the Right in a Center Right country and voting with that mindset will just ensure a Far Left Country. And just so you know, at that point you and your kind will become irrelevant as you will be not only labeled, but actually become the Radical Element.
In my and many peoples eyes, you are just as extreme and dangerous as those we are trying to get rid of. Compromise is necessary to succeed in life. And you Paul people are no different than those you detest. Because like them your mind is closed to all, except that which you believe true. And a closed mind can never find some common ground with another. The only thing that will save this land is those in the middle. Those willing to compromise. Those willing to find common ground.
And just so we’re clear, you are Racists if just the ethnicity of someone would determine your vote. And that is no different than 90% of the Blacks voting for Obama because he is Black. Doesn’t give you the right man for the job, just the one with the right skin tone.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 7:50pmWhen you stupid illegal immigrant foreigners succeed in dismantling the Constitution of the United States there won’t be ANY law to protect you. It will be anarchy and every man for himself. But don’t expect me to bend to your “La Raza” (THE RACE) bu!!$h!t. As an AMERICAN CITIZEN, I assure you that you’ll pay. Believe me … you’ll pay.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 3:51pmIsn’t Rubio great! I’m willing to swallow my pride and vote for Romney provided that he does not choose Rubio as his VP. If Rubio is his choice, then I’m back to voting Paul.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 7:05pmYou are absoluely correct, if Romney chooses Rubio, I nor my family will be voting for him.
Report Post »The Mexicans or Latinos are the most Racist of all world peoples. The La Raza group that is panderd by many large U.S. Firms stands for “The Race”, that is what La Raza in english is. Their mission statement for years was “For the Race everything all others nothing” they changed in the last 3 years because of the heat they were getiing. If your a Brown politician American Laws and our constitutionon’t mean a thing when it involves what they call the Race which is all Mexicans and Latinos. What this president has done is treasonous and heshould be brought up on charges immediately by our House and Senate.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 10:56amMe too, If Romney is that stupid to let a Mexican, “ who just came out saying that he would come over illegally if he had to” Great defender of our constitution..yeah right. There is nothing or no one that would ever make me vote for a Mexican.
