Call your reps and demand they NOT confirm this reconquista.

Obama holds true to form, she's qualified because she's a SoCal flaming lib. No other qualification needed.

@JacobFlores2.....If you have to say, Mexican-American or Afrian-American- or Asian-American you really are not a true American.

@JacobFlores2.....I noticed you didn't mention the illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants don't need to hide or feel unwanted, they do just fine.

Solis is the leader of Mexican terrorists invading & occupying our country. We originally came here in the 1500's to fight the Spanish & to take their loot. We kicked the Spanish out. We then kicked the Mexican's out. We only needed immigrants to occupy the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. R gov. & corp's sold us out. When citizens find out there will be war.

Believe me, I know that nearly everyone on the right feels that way.

In my view, on the view of many people on the left, I believe that immigrants who want to come her should absolutley have the freedom to not hide or feel that they're not wanted.

This country was born from immigrants, and as Americans, we should have a responsibility to make reasonable laws when it comes to Immigration.

People who have to wait seven years or up should not have to go through that scrutiny.

Solis understands that

A Mexican American supports The United States of America. I have known Mexican American's. They support the USA. Solis supports Mexican issue's, Mexican's & the Mexican invasion. She states Mexican's deserve our countries social service's, meaning brithing babies in r hospital's 4 free. If u don't have insurance don't have babies. If u have 3,4,5,6 babies u r a threat to American's. Solis, illegal's, gangs r terrorist & must be stopped.

[JacobFlores2]

She was born American and supports people to legally become Americans.

Please understand that there is a difference between Mexican and Mexican-American.

[flyinghaymann]

This Mexican stands for Mexican's and others south of the border. She is not an American, supporting American's.

Perhaps we'll get lucky & have this wealth redistributor follow Daschle & Killefer out the door, since she...well technically, Sam Sayyad (her husband), also has tax issues.

Who better to protect American labor interests than a self-appointed LA RAZA SPOKESWOMAN? ANYONE. Another bad pick, Obama..how long until she is found to be part of you "pay-to-play" circle.?? Which ALREADY INCLUDES EMANUEL, BLAGOJEVICh, RICHARDS, DIXON, and MANY MORE. Time for change, huh? Same thief, different weapon.
