Top Hispanic Congressman Slams Herman Cain’s Illegal Immigration Remedy
After Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain told a campaign audience that he believed the federal government should erect a deadly, electrified, 20-foot border fence to help stem the flow of illegal immigration, one of the top Hispanic lawmakers in Congress slammed the GOP hopeful for “a staggering lack of sensitivity” and called on other candidates seeking the nomination to reject Cain’s proposal.
It began Saturday as Cain stumped in Cookeville, Tenn., where the surging candidate detailed his solution to the country’s illegal immigration trouble.
“First, secure the border for real,” Cain explained. “It’s common sense. Part of [the solution] would have a real fence. Twenty feet high, with barbed wire – electrified – with a sign on the other side that says it can kill you. It’ll be in English and Spanish.”
Those comments drew a sharp rebuke from Rep. Charles Gonzalez, the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who warned Cain against using his popularity to irresponsibly stoke public opinion.
“Words have consequences, both in shaping ideas and inspiring actions,” Gonzalez, D-Texas, wrote in a statement on Monday. “Whether or not he made his comments in jest, Mr. Cain’s words show a lack of understanding of the immigration issues our country is facing and a staggering lack of sensitivity. Surely, Mr. Cain understands the duty that candidates have to offer responsible policy proposals.”
Even before Gonzalez could react to the comments, Cain dismissed critics who believe his rhetoric is insensitive.
“Then I get criticized: ‘Mr. Cain, that’s insensitive,’” Cain said. “What do you mean insensitive? What’s insensitive is when they come to the United States across our border and kill our citizens and kill our border patrol people. That’s insensitive and I’m not worried about being insensitive to tell people to stop sneaking into America.”
Gonzalez, a 7-term lawmaker representing the San Antonio area, also called on the other Republican candidates to distance themselves from Cain’s commentary.
“Mr. Cain has said that America ‘needs to get a sense of humor,’ but I see nothing funny about killing other human beings. Leave the comic routines to the professional comedians,” Gonzalez stated. “The most pressing question is how the other Republican candidates respond to this ‘policy position’ by Mr. Cain. I urge these candidates to immediately repudiate Mr. Cain’s comments and to show strong disapproval of even so-called jokes about killing human beings.”
Gonzalez said that considering Cain’s past experience as an executive in the restaurant industry, a labor force that is 22 percent Hispanic, he and other members of the Hispanic caucus “hope [Cain] would follow the responsible path taken by the National Restaurant Association” in calling for comprehensive immigration reform.

Cain is just vocalizing what the majority of American CITIZENS are thinking.
We need an actual border which is guarded the way other countries guard their border. Surrender or get shot. If you run, you’ll die tired. Crossing our border should have consequenses. I’d like to see a mandatory sentence of one year labor to build a wall on the border. Second offense should bring a sentence of two years.

Why does Gonzalez not want the border secured from illegal immigration knowing the violence and corruption of the activities of the southern border and that even terrorist suspects have been known to cross our borders due to lack of security? Why is he not on the side of US security and against it instead?

Typical Liberal slant. Cain: seal the border with a fence that, IF you attempt to breach, can kill you. Democrat: Cain wants to kill Mexicans and Middle Eastern Terrorists that move freely across the borders. I will never ever ever ever ever ever again vote for another Democrat for the rest of my life. I am 42 and will vote every single election.

“What’s insensitive is when they come to the United States across our border and kill our citizens and kill our border patrol people. That’s insensitive and I’m not worried about being insensitive to tell people to stop sneaking into America.”
Cain is 100% right. Gonzalez is just afraid there that a secure border will mean there are not enough illegals here to reelect him. Illegal aliens have forced millions of legal resident families into unemployment and poverty and most politicians could care less. As long as they can keep collecting campaign donations from employers, they are happy.

There’s nothing wrong with what Cain said: a safety warning to “stay away” from the electric fence makes a lot of sense. In fact, electical stations already have those.

Mr. Gonzales, is a typical politician. Don”t ever tell the truth, and never say anything to upset future voters. As sane or insane as Mr. Cains idea sounds at least he has an idea, unlike Gonzales. Stopping the flow of undocumented people from crossing the border must be a part of the upcoming election, as it has such a great economic impact to the nation. Those who employ. or use most of the illegals are the same mega corporations that the protesters are marching against.

I am a Latino American, I support every effort to keep all illegal aliens out of the country! Why are Congressional Hispanic Caucus members supporting these alien law breakers who steal our jobs and education and social services??? I have no problem with these immigrants entering the country legally, but the ones that don’t should be deported! Please Obama, build the fence and save American jobs, like carpenter, plumber, electrician, auto and truck mechanic, to name a few! These are good jobs that Americans want but have been taken away by illegals!!!

Charles Gonzalez is a lying SOB. Herman Cain never said anything about killing human beings. In fact, Cain said that he would have signs installed to warn people about the danger of touching an electrified fence.

Cain is an idiot just like the rest of the bunch in his party. It is incredible that in 2011 we still have so many right wingers thinking that the solution to our immigration problems are going to be resolved by putting up fences and shipping people back to where they came from. If we did that – none of us would be left here, except for the Native Americans. If Cain thinks that jokes are the way to solve the issues facing America, then he is the “joke”.

I think the press demise of Herman Cain has begun. I personally try to avoid CNN, ABC and Fox now for biased coverage. Now they are tearing down anyone that is not on their agenda just like the fat cats of wallstreet. It is time for Americans to ignore them all and vote for who we like not who the press wants us to. They think we are stupid. I hope all Americans no matter how you vote realize they that are controlling our elections and it is time to stop the madness. Vote your heart. It is sad that not only the press thinks we are stupid and will follow like a dog the politicians do too. Vote all them out and until we get real unbiased press coverage stop watching the fake news people who are a blemish on all reporters who came before them. I can’t wait until 2012.Change is in the air and not one party. Also I am a Obama voter the first time and Independent so don’t go there with the republican thing. Not true. I am just fedup like most Americans.

I agree with securing the border and deporting the illegal immigrants; however this will put our economy into a nosedive because food prices will hyper-inflate. Who wants to buy an apple for $3 dollars? So there needs to be some exceptions, ex. Suppose if a farm corporation offered a person from Mexico a job, then they should come in within a week. Or perhaps pickers illegally living here already would have to pay a fine (their employer as well) and have a chance of getting a visa and continue working.

I am independent who voted for Obama, but I defiantly remember that when he campaigned in 08 he claimed would stop illegal immigration. I believe that he has actually encouraged it. I believe that it is the policy of the DP to openly encourage it. I believe that the jobs these people take actually hurt the poor people the most..they are the ones that might get those jobs if the price was raised to a living wage. Obama and his party have failed miserably on this issue…

I’m extremely liberal, but I do think there needs to be some sort of physical wall with electric (but NOT lethal!) safety precautions on it. I also think it needs to become easier to go from illegal citizenship to legal: reform both our border protection and our immigration policies. This is where if the Dems and Reps would stop bickering and come together for compromise, someone with a brain would realize both sides have great ideas and we should combine them. Think how many jobs would be created by building a wall and placing border patrol along it?! Think about how many quality citizens we would gain if we allow productive illegal citizens into our workforce, to create jobs and contribute to taxes? This isn’t rocket science! jeez… As long as we approach this complicated problem with many solutions and several great ideas, this can very realistically be solved! The only problem against us is our bickering and single-sided politics. Ultimatums and stubborn partisanship isn’t just slowing progress in our country, it’s steadily destroying it.

Democrats, who are continuing to align themselves with ILLEGAL immigration lawbreakers, are going to find out in Election 2012 THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC (both Democratic and Republican) are SICK OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SCHEME THAT THEY ARE SUPPORTING BY ADVOCATING AMNESTY!
Posted by: AngelicaS | October 17, 2011, 11:26 pm 11:26 pm
While his remarks are extreme if serious, there is still no denying we have the right and a duty as a sovereign nation to stop those who are breaking into our country. I doubt Cain intends to “kill” invaders, but he rightfully wants to discourage them. And since the majority of Americans DON’T want amnesty, the idea that we need “comprehensive immigration reform” is stupid. We don’t need any changes in our laws, just enforcement of them.
Posted by: Franks | October 17, 2011, 11:31 pm 11:31 pm
Sorry, but he’s right. If there are signs, then those who do not heed will pay the price. This country continues to pay the price for feckless leadership that ignores 12-20 miilion illegals in this country, educates the illegals and their children, gives them jobs, housing, medical attention and yet, refuses to stand up for the citizenry that continues to beg for enforcement and accountability.
Posted by: takn123 | October 17, 2011, 11:36 pm 11:36 pm
Walls and any other physical barrier are useless. The only way to stop illegal immigration is to remove the motivation for anyone to be here illegally. The simplest way to ensure that is to completely deny employment, public services, and financial assistance to anyone who is not here legally and withhold citizenship to anyone born here unless at least one parent is here legally.

“Gonzalez, a 7-term lawmaker representing the San Antonio area” ~is there no such thing as TERM LIMITS there? This joker needs to go. Illegal means illegal. And WE would not be killing them, they would be choosing to do something that might kill them, namely, go over a dangerous fence. I just don’t understand why people can’t see the problem….Maybe it’s his last name, he probably has family back home in good ol’ Mexico, or maybe he remembers his grandparents coming here illegally and thinks everyone should have that same sort of experience, but we need to do something REAL. A fence, cracking down on current laws, enacting new ones if neccessary. Going after the illegals, the business hiring them, property managers renting to them, hospitals treating them. I think if the hospitals choose to treat illegals, then they need to eat the cost themselves and not pass it on, it’s as simple as that. Schools need to restrict enrollment to only those who can show their papers, etc….There are soooo many things that can be done….all common sense measures. Also, bring our troops home…we have a war on our border right here, send them out in rotations and take care of the drug cartels. Come down hard on them, take them out militarily and we can stop it in it’s tracks.

Are we China now? Do we really need a wall? c’mon people, this is supposed to be America. You know, ” the land of the free”. It’s getting to the point that the only freedoms the GOP are interested in are the freedoms for multi-national corporations to flees American workers and our economy. When it comes to individual freedoms. The GOP is all about controlling your PERSONAL life in the most personal of ways. Here’s a thought, how about going after employers that hire the illegal workers for cheap labor and here’s another thought, how about employers paying a living wage to attract AMERICAN workers. It’s not that American’s won’t do the job, they won’t do it for $30 a day.

Hispanic advocacy groups should not be encouraging these people to break the immigration laws of the United States! Stop giving illegals welfare, medical and educational benefits! Our schools are already overcrowded and money for schools is in short supply! The next administration will slam the door shut on this liberal madness, the people will demand it! The open borders advocacy groups should get the bill for the care and feeding of these illegal alien invaders that are costing tax payers billions!

Cain’s remarks, the enthusiasm for them, and the above comments all exemplify the frustration of the American people toward the issue of illegal immigration. It is the biggest failure of the U.S. Government in my lifetime and, if not stopped right here and now, will turn the U.S. into the same sort of third-world country the illegals want to escape. Instead of bringing them up, it is bringing us down.

by Dan “how about employers paying a living wage to attract AMERICAN workers. It’s not that American’s won’t do the job, they won’t do it for $30 a day.”
This is certainly the answer but so long as the farmers can hire people for $30 an hour they will not get your message. If that labor force is removed the farmers will have to move forward; either with mechanization or a new business model that includes a fair wage.

This Sunday an illegal immigrant died while crossing through the hot Arizona desert.
If we had an electrified fence as Herman Cain described, would the illegals who have died in the dessert have even been out there trying to illegally enter the US? Is it possible that the most ‘humane’ thing we can do is to erect a fence that is so terrible that very few will even try to cross it? If we virtually destroyed their chances of geting jobs, would they be walking around in the dessert?

If one attempts to ILLEGALLY cross the border of the United States when the border fence is posted with warning signs in both English and Spanish concerning the dangers of making contact with an electrified fence that would not be a case of the U.S. government killing people. It is called SUICIDE–no different than running across an interstate highway during rush hour. Laws are generally created to promote the general welfare. Breaking those laws frequently result in harmful consequences.

The majority of the members of the Hispanic Caucus and other elected/appointed officials who violate federal law by aiding and abetting illegal aliens should be removed from office. These legislators draw a salary and benefits paid by American tax payers yet, as in the case of Rep Luis Gutierrez and Senator Robert Mendendez, they spend full time advocating for illegal aliens. This is gross and willful dereliction of duty at best or treason at worst. I opt for the later.

It’s amazing the myths about undocumented immigrants that are chewed up and spit out by the American public. Let’s be honest, Cain is just saying this stuff to get voters; he knows that bringing up illegal immigration hits a sore spot with American voters.
SO here’s my request to American voters: let’s get real about illegal immigration. Republicans and Democrats alike avoid border security AND immigration reform because there’s an immense pressure by big business to keep undocumented immigrants in the country, working below minimum wage. Meanwhile, you guys (American voters) are looking for scapegoats and barking up the wrong tree. Let’s remember that many undocumented immigrants are working under the social security numbers of dead people–i.e., they pay taxes. But let’s remember, they don’t collect tax refunds at the end of the year. Also, I don’t know why everyone thinks any old person can just walk into a government building and get a welfare check; that’s a bunch of baloney. These folks have no access to medical insurance or public assistance. Meanwhile, they contribute millions of dollars to the economy every year. Without them, the agriculture sector would be a disaster.
I’m not saying I want an open border. But going after undocumented immigrants (most of whom just want decent jobs and can’t find them in Mexico) won’t solve the problem. Fences won’t keep them away. We must go after the roots of the problem: U.S. big business demand for cheap labor and NAFTA’s obliteration of Mexico’s rural population.

Good grief same old crap everytime. Ya’ll keep using the excuse of illegals taking our jobs. If your unemployed go out and pick some crops. Or get educated and find a real job, illegals don’t take those cuz they don’t have a right to colleges. There are jobs everywhere. Might be hard to find but they are there. Racism is coming back, these illegals don’t take food from your table. They are doing the jobs we don’t want to do. And I agree then cartels are no joke, but the families coming here for a different lifestyle are being punished like criminals . You act like because they don’t have a green card they gonna stab you in the street. Shut it up crybabies. I disagree with a lethal wall. But I agree with ending their magnet to coming into this country. Matthew 25:40 Anyway who on earth wants Cains ignorant self as president. He’s a joke.

Cain is right about illegal immigrants who come over and kill our citizens. But that’s too real of a fact for the proponents for illegal immigration to handle. Post 911 Americans are sick of sacrificing their security just to satisfy people with no respect for our laws. Yes the countries that illegal immigrants come from have strict laws of their own towards illigal immigrants, and therefore the people that come from these countries and fight to erase our laws have no respect for our laws.

It is suddenly alright if America is to lenient, and give lawbreakers anything they want in America a great big sirvival kit off the exspence of Americans tax dollars, and just keep paying for millions of their babies being born here, given an unnecessay American citizenship! Why?? This is only helping the terrible over population from Mexico! Again Why??? Why are millions of illegal aliens getting so much VIP when they actually invaded America, Why should they get rewarded period???
Illegal immigration had made to many of our American laws, rules, and regulation a big double standard, especially when it comes to Americans who do have legal staus to this country! Millions of illegal aliens are in our employment now, their employers do not know who they are, they do not know their background! They do not get throughly investigated, by getting background checks like Americans do before they are hired! So What makes million of illegal aliens in our employment more truthworthy to work in our employment without a througly investigation, ( background checks) more then Americans??? Why is it so much discrimination in America when it come to illegal immigration???? Why is discrimination block from Americans, to calls it like it is???

No American in their right mines want to harm an illegal aliens or any body else, they just want to see them have strong respect for our laws, they want to see our immigration enforcement strongly enforced, them really pushing illegal aliens to abide all our American laws, they want to see our politicians to really stop our birthright laws to illegal aliens, because it is obvious to us, that millions of them are taking advantage of it for their own person reason, they can also see that our birthright are their own person amnesty by it self, in away, illegal aliens seem to be alot smarter then these sorry weak politicians that just want to give millions of illegal aliens America on a silver platter!! Americans do not mind immigrants, it is the illegal aliens that are so distrubing to them! Americans want real law and order back in America now, before America goes to hell!!
