Eight people have been arrested during protests in Congress by activists demanding an amnesty deal in the 2018 budget.
The protest took place outside of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) office, and protesters also stood outside Rep. Carlos Curbelo’s (R-FL) office.
Erika Andiola
One of those arrested was Erika Andiola, “a proud undocumented and unafraid Mexican American,” according to her Twitter account, which also claims that she was a press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“The DREAM Act can pass [on] December 22nd as part of the spending bill. Schumer can do this,” Andiola said at the protest, according to the Democracy Now website. “He has the power to do it. And we’re tired of him playing political games with our lives.”
“And that’s why we’re here,” Andiola said. “And we’re going to stay here, and we’re going to stay in jail, until he does that.”
Andiola tweeted after her arrest that Schumer has to “prove” he supports the young illegal aliens.
“If you’re reading this, I’m still in police custody after being arrested last night at @SenSchumer office demanding he prove his claim to support Dreamers by organizing his caucus to block any spending deal w/out a clean #DreamAct. Will remain until he does. #OurDream #NoDreamNoDeal,” Andiola tweeted.
Merry Christmas trip out of the country.
was there something about people getting in trouble for undocumented household workers? think something like that could apply?
She say’s getting Amnesty is the only reason they are there.
WRONG Cholla, you are here because Obama acted to destroy
The U.S.A !
Green glove go home.
Deport her today.
No reason to keep her around except to charge Senator Sanders for her unlawful employment.
They are a nightmare to me
This ” Dream Train ” is full of Explosive Mexicans, from Tijuana to Mexicali and all the Other Border Cities of Mexico where Discontentment is the order of the Day ! Mexico City Clilangoe’s (local A’holes} are even worse, were some ” Hand Picked” by prompting Liberal Mexican Teachers ?
Her BF tweeted she’s also on a hunger strike 😂😂 Good luck sweetums, Bernie, Chuckie & Nan will be sipping
champagne, dining on lobster, & raising a toast to you & your lost cause. Their private jets are idling & you Dreamers are the last thing that’ll hold them in DC over Christmas.
Release her immediately!…then load her fence jumping ass into the van waiting outside.
I remember when being a Communist was worse.
Now being a Communist AND an illegal alien is an asset on the resume if ya wanna (D) at the end of yer name!
“Our rights”
You gotta lot of nerve Lady !
What about us hard working citizens
that pay for your free stuff ???
GET THE *UCK OUT NOW !
Go back to your own country and PROTEST for the changes you want.
How about that?
No se puede!
This sounds like a modified Rosa Parks play. Bernie can vouch for her. No one, and I mean no one, cleans his toilets for minimum wage like she does.
Doing work Americans won’t do.
1) Deport her immediately (bye!). 2) Charge Sanders with employing an illegal alien. He probably didn’t withhold social security tax (did she even have a fake number)? 3) Anytime Bernie talks about employment, after giving a job to an illegal that he could have given to an American citizen, remind him of his hypocrisy and tell him to STFU.
If these ass hats were smart, they’d spent the last year figuring out how to repatriate to their birth country.
A compromise, so it can be unipartisan, on differently documented pre-immigrants and the budget: Auction differently documented pre-immigrants as permanently indentured servants. BLM tells me indentured servitude was not slavery. So not-Democrat, lifetime courtiers should be good with it. And we can pretend we’re paying down the “national” debt. Win-win, even with only The Party.
I hope they show a pic of her in handcuffs, boarding a plane for deportation along with her side kicks. I’ll raise my fist to that!
