Let me preface this video by stating that here is nothing that I can come up with here that will do this video justice, it is 5 minutes and 17 seconds of genius. You’ll simply have to watch it for all of the brief remarks.

In the video, Rep. Luis Gutierez (D-Ill) takes “on the GOP and Mitt Romney’s characterization of Arizona’s onerous anti-immigration policies as a ‘model’ the U.S. should follow.” From the HuffPost,

And with this, the Congressman is off to the races, counting exactly how Arizona’s law is a terrible model for the rest of the country:

• “One, if you’re a politician, Arizona’s law is a model for how to achieve early retirement.”
• “Two, if you want to wreck your local economy, Arizona’s law is a model for lost jobs and tax revenue.”
• “Three, Arizona’s law is a model for how to energize Latino voters.”
• “Four — and I’ll stop at four because my time in limited — Arizona’s law is a model on how to make decent people suffer.”

Rep. Luis Gutierrez began his speech by stating well-known Latino demographics (the number one way to scare politicians) and then stating, “that’s a lot of people to keep track of, especially if you want to offend each and every one of them.” Can you feel the burn? I can. I hope it’s not a rash.
