Bravo Gutierrez!!! You have delivered an anaccurate picture of a political party of so called believers in statehood that at the same time seem to follow the Pinochet and Chicago Boy's model that caused Chile so much misery. It is stupidity of brutal force against intelligent proposals. Your voice is the voice of reason and dignity.

The voice of independant thought in our American Democracy (United States Constitution, 1st Amed.). How can students and the public better learn to promote their advocacy with freedom of speech than our Congressional civil liberties sustained in our Constitutional rights. The question of violence, and or "riot" which threatens those liberties is prudent to all those in defense (18 USC § 2101 - Riots). Student leadership is necessary, founded in those rights and liberties, not rebels of them!

Brown supremacists like Luis Gutierrez cannot explain how his precious Mexico treats THEIR illegals.

It's pretty sad, scary, and discouraging when a man who was elected as a lawmaker totally misses the mark on what the immigration issue is all about. Either he's feeding his ego with this cutesy stunt, or ignorant, or perhaps just a simpleton. In any case, to reduce the illegal immigration issue to something like this doesn't do anyone any favors. Just as a clue to you who applaud him, it's about law, upholding the law, and legal immigration.

You need to run for President and make the needed changes in our "free" . . . I mean CORRUPT country.

He lied to the country in order to win the elections, by saying he woulnt fire anyone. El cabron este de Fortuño no escucha al pueblo, el hace solo lo que el crea, esta enamorado completamente de su voz. Con esta basura que tenemos por governador nunca vamos a poder hechar para alante.
