The fact that so much attention has been given to the lack of rights and people who are in America illegally has me dumbfounded because there are 54+ million People with Disabilities in this nation who do not have equal rights. Yet there is absolutely no media coverage of this fact. There have been no statements made by this administration or Mr. Obama about this fact. There has been nothing said.

While I have empathy for the people who have come here looking for a better life, there are 54+ million people with disabilities in America who deserve equal rights legislation in America before this population is even considered. The Obama administration, like every administration since the passing of that Americans with Disabilities Act, which failed to provide equal rights to People with Disabilities, has been ignoring this nation’s largest minority population. It is disgusting. Yet in all of the hurrah over the rights of a smaller population of illegal immigrants and their rights, Mr. Gibbs states:

“Somebody that gets stopped who is legal resident, is a citizen. It’s clear that in the law, if you’re suspected to be (illegal) the law allows you to be stopped. You may be a citizen. That’s what he’s asked the Justice Department to look into, again, if it becomes law.”

Mr. Gibbs, you don’t seem to have the slightest concern that People with Disabilities are discriminated against every single day in America, do you? You don’t pay attention one bit, Mr. Gibbs. You are a hypocrit of the largest order, Mr. Gibbs.

As for Obama, Guiterrez told Fox: “I want him to keep his promise. During the campaign he made a concerted effort to reach out to Latino and immigrant voters carrying the state of New Mexico and Colorado and Florida, and I think many would say guaranteeing his presidency. There were eight million Latinos voting in 2004, 10 million voting in 2008, went for 60 percent for the Democrats to 70 percent. And when you consider for one moment that he got hammered by (New York Democratic) Senator Hillary Clinton in every primary among Latino voters and yet they came in overwhelming numbers for him in the general election, the stakes are really high.”

When you consider the fact that there are 54+ million people with disabilties, many of whom are voters, Mr. Obama - it is well past time you pursued and passed comprehensive equal rights legislation for a population of people who are already citizens of this nation! Bear in mind that the people who are here illegally are not somehow immune from disability as well! People with Disabilities represent every other population in America too, and it would be very, very wise of you to remember that, Mr. Obama.

But Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, told Fox there’s more opposition to comprehensive changes to immigration now than there was when former President Bush failed on the issue in the latter stages of his presidency.

“I think the American people are not happy with the plans they saw before and they’re not going to be happy with the plans that might come out of the Obama administration,” Sessions said. “Right now we need to be thinking about how to create American jobs. People are out of work. There’s more opposition within the Senate and polling data shows more opposition among the American people than time the bill was brought up last time.”

Now all of a sudden Mr. Sessions is concerned about jobs, now that it is presented in relation to illegal immigration. Where was your concern as People with Disabilities continue to experience the highest rate of unemployment in America, Mr. Sessions? You are also a hypocrit of the highest order! Every last living one of these representatives in Washington needs to find themselves on the unemployment line this coming November - Every Single One!
