Eight Democratic lawmakers, including civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, were arrested outside the Capitol building Tuesday as part of an immigration reform demonstration.
The lawmakers — Reps. Joe Crowley, Raul Grijalva, Luis Gutierrez, Jan Schakowsky, Keith Ellison, Al Green, Charlie Rangel, and Lewis — were part of a group of more than 100 activists who conducted a peaceful sit-in blocking a street in the front of the Capitol, just feet away from the scene of last week’s shooting.
WIth thousands of protesters chanting “Si Se Puede” and jeering dozens of Capitol police officers, the lawmakers and scores of activists were handcuffed before being led off to wagons. It was unclear whether any of the people arrested would face charges.
The arrests were part of a massive pro-reform protest planned by El Camino Americano designed to bring pressure on Congress to kick start dormant negotiations on a comprehensive immigration reform package.
Any black that still votes for Lewis and the other black lefties after being stabbed in the back by them supporting the illegal aliens that are taking their jobs away is nothing but a dumb,blind herd animal.

True dat for the professional welfare class,but not all blacks fit into that category by choice. It's tough to find work when there are no jobs,and what few there are for people without skilled trades are being taken by illegals that work cheaper than Americans.

You can add skilled jobs to that list of jobs taken by illegals .
