Chicago Immigrants Slam Rahm Emanuel

Blue America joined with immigrants’ rights groups in Illinois to take on Rahm Emanuel and his efforts to push House Democrats into backing the enforcement-only Heath Shuler/Tom Tancredo SAVE Act in the House. That bill would put the Department of Defense in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security to spend a lot of money turning the border into a police state (Shuler’s office boasts that Mark Pryor introduced the same legislation in the Senate yesterday).

There was a press conference held regarding the ad in front of Rahm’s district office at which Siun spoke yesterday (photo). It was also covered by Chicago public radio, CNN en Espanol, Radio La Ley, Telemundo and Hoy.

Rahm has an immigrant population of 50% in his district. We took out ads in Spanish, Korean and Polish (the three largest immigrant communities in IL-05).

Very Encouraging!

1. Anybody opposing this buttmunch in the primary?

Emanuel is probably the worst Dem in the house. He is the congressional equivalent of Joe Loserman. Why the fuck does a district as diverse as his keep electing such an asshole? If someone runs against him in a Dem promary I'd be happy to contribute to them.

2. It is kind of hard to pick the worst dem ..I would also vote for schumer,

finestein,hoyer are also lieberman dems...I'm sure there are more....

3. He screwed over PDA candidates so here's hoping they will run someone against him.

How much longer before he has another election to face?
