Assemblyman Speaker Prieto Needs a Roadmap to the Undocumented
Isn’t interesting that the first Hispanic Democrat, of Cuban descent, appointed twice by his peers as Assembly Speaker, is nowhere to be found on the issue of Driver’s License for the Undocumented in NJ? He lurks in the hallways, sneaks in a peak into the Assembly hearing, whispers in corners of the State House but is deathly silence on the most important issue to Hispanic immigrants in his own neighborhood.
Where is Waldo? I remember helping my children look for Waldo, so I thought I had sufficient practice is finding a prominent figure in a children’s magazine but when I tried to use my grown up skills to find Prieto as it pertains to this issue, I can’t seem to find him. Could you help me?
Everybody is writing about how Christie is going to react to this proposed legislation allowing men and women, in an eternal immigration hold due to antiquated laws, obtain a driver’s license, while Assembly Speaker Prieto seems to abdicate his role to Assemblywoman Quijano on this issue. Maybe the democrats in the Assembly got it wrong. Quijano seems to have the cojones to address the needs of the poor and oppressed in NJ.
But wait a minute, is this pro-immigration relief project more about embarrassing Christie then helping immigrants drive safely in NJ? I don’t know, every time I’ve called Prieto’s office all I get is that he hasn’t decided to take a public stand on the one issue that affects over half a million immigrants harassed while taking their children to school or their cars impound because they were driving without a license on their way to work. Where is Prieto in all of this?
Has any one in the media interviewed the first Hispanic ASSEMBLY SPEAKER about this key issue for Hispanics in NJ? What’s up with this? Just saying.
Do we need to MapQuest his “majesty” to the homes of the Hispanics that weren’t given amnesty simply for landing on US soil like his parents? Did he forget that the Hispanic votes got him into office numerous times? Maybe he has another strategy to obtain the power to override a veto.
Yes, that is it. He plans to keep quiet, not publically support the Hispanic immigrants, not call for a meeting of the Hispanic Caucus of NJ, and then all of a sudden he’ll spring onto the public arena as an overwhelming supporter of this bill once Sweeney announces his run for the governorship. This is it, I got it. I found the “playbook”. Now, it all make sense.
Let us beat up on the republican establishment as anti-Hispanic (after two years of Prieto’s silence) then he’ll grandstand as a hero of the Hispanic community in the 2016 election cycle in order to make sure a democrat gets elected to the governorship. It now makes a whole lot of sense to me.

So why don’t we ask him?
