House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) encouraged people to vote for Democrats in November’s midterm elections to give “leverage” to illegal immigrants in the immigration debate.
Pelosi made the remark during a Wednesday press conference in El Paso, Texas, alongside immigration rights activists and Texas Democratic congressional nominee Veronica Escobar.

All of those injustices have to be corrected.” – READ MORE
