In another signal that she’s an open borders proponent, Speaker Pelosi criticized the border fence currently being built. She made these comments as part of her pandering to the Hispanic Engineering, Science & Technology Week conference “I have been against the fence, I thought it’s a bad idea even when it was just a matter of discussion,” said Pelosi, D-Calif. “These are communities where you have a border going through them, they are not communities where you have a fence splitting them.”
In making these comments, Ms. Pelosi is essentially saying that she’s placing a higher priority on not splitting up communities than on enforcing the law. She’s also essentially saying that ‘not splitting up communities’ is a higher priority than closing down the border so we can stop terrorists before they get here.Ms. Pelosi’s pandering shows that Democrats put politics ahead of national security. Simply put, Ms. Pelosi’s panderfest is meant to collect votes. Based on these quotes, it’s obvious that she either doesn’t care about setting intelligent national security policy or she’s willing to deceive Hispanics with her rhetoric while practicing another thing.
That isn’t the only subject on which she pandered:Pelosi also touted legislation known as the DREAM Act that would make it easier for some illegal immigrants to receive higher education benefits. She spoke at a conference that drew more than 5,000 students for activities designed to inspire careers in science and technology.“It just isn’t fair,” Pelosi said. “Those young people who came to America one way or another…their opportunities are curtailed because of the situation. And it’s not only harmful to them; it’s harmful to the country.”Ms. Pelosi wants to talk about what’s fair? Let’s talk fair then. What’s fair about forcing parents, whose burden is stiff enough in sending their own children to college, much less burdening them with additional taxes so illegal immigrants can get the same tuition rates as their children? What’s fair about illegal immigrant children then using that college degree to compete with students who got the lower tuition rates legitimately?
I don’t think that that’s fair at all. I’d bet the ranch that most people across the nation would agree with me.

The only time people like that will wise up,is when something happens to them by an illegal alien. Driving drunk down the road and slam into her car,someone illegal raping one of her relation, or any number of situations. For some reason it makes you feel like nobody elses life matters,but their own. She says "coming to America one way or another",well, sneaking in illegally she should really say. What about people in New York that have to hear that after going through 9/11-they are not going to feel safe just letting anybody in w/o a border. Such crap.....

I think someone should ask Ms Pelosi the same question they asked President Nixon, " Are you running for something".
I have friends who live in Texas and Arizona. Their tale of Mexicans moving across the border, setting up house keeping on someones land and refusing to move. The government because of people like Ms. Pelosi refuse to do anything about it. I think an impeachment should be started.

That is why Pelosi doesn't want money going to the war effort, (illegals need lots of welfare $), and San Francisco is a sanctuary city.
They would not even let the military make a movie there, nor do they let any recruiters or ships dock.
Pelosi has all her priorities screwed up and she is a big mouth do nothing in congress. SF is screwed.

Who even likes Pelosi anyway...nobody. She's working with 1/2 a brain cell to begin with so what she says gets the eye rolls from everyone. Total nut job. We actually are talking about 2 different countries here, not communities of the same country or even same state for that matter...apparently fruit loop forgot that part.

Correction-Immigrants legally obtain entry to a country by requesting to come here through INS. The people you are trying to defend broke the law by illegal entry and are not immigrants. They are illegal aliens. You are standing up for criminals who are draining our social security, welfare, hospital care, etc. They are driving cars with invalid licenses, no insurance. They are avoiding paying taxes and putting undue strains on school funds. Yes, make that fence happen all along the Mexican border. Take the hundreds of thousands of illegals who are in prison here and ship them back to Mexico or wherever they came from. WE DON'T NEED THEM HERE.

Lets make Pelosi and all the other pro-immigration live on the border for a month. After they get stolen from everyday and raped I bet they'll change their minds.

Neither party is doing much to curtail illegal immigration, but at least the Republicans in Congress are putting up a token effort. Democrats are rolling out the Welcome mat.

Your ranch is safe.
The Dream Act is a nightmare for Americans who cannot afford to send their kids to college.
When the illegals get status, they will qualify for financial aid which has limited funds. Who would lose out? American kids whose parents who have legitimate and reported income. They would see their hopes go out the window.
Thank God our youngest is the only one left in college and we could pay what his scholarship didn't.
I really feel badly for the American kids whose future Pelosi wants to sacrifice for illegal aliens.
