What’s got the media’s attention today? High school students fighting for their rights, of course.
And who makes an appearance? Why, it’s none other than Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee:
Students protesting proposed federal immigration legislation greeted Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and other elected officials with signs Monday outside the federal building in downtown Houston as they gathered to discuss the immigration debate going on in Washington, D.C.
“It is the earned access to legalization,” said Lee. “What that means is we put together a package that answers the concerns of Americans that believe that we should not affirm illegal acts. But what we do affirm is individuals who have jobs, who have roots, who have homes and have been paying taxes.”
Lee said she will go back to Washington Tuesday and introduce legislation that will give all undocumented workers a temporary identification while the reform is being debated.
She has certainly mastered the art of DC-speak.
