Respect is earned. How about showing respect for our country by obeying our laws. Note how they attempt to make this a “Latino” issue, when the real issue is massive illegal immigration. I suppose they expect us to give illegal aliens a free pass, simply because the majority of illegals are Latino.

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a leftist Latino rights group, is launching a campaign to get members of Congress to sign a pledge opposing “irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric toward Latinos,“ reinforcing Hispanics as ”an integral part of the fabric of America, and vowing to denounce “politicians who dehumanize and scapegoat Latinos.”

I agree with you, they need to earn respect. I never seen La Raza demand a secure border or put any effort to stop illegal immigration.

All they care about is increasing their numbers

So Latinos are the only ones being demonized in this country? As for the illegal ones who cares? They deserve to be demonized as do all illegal aliens.

This is utterly ridiculous. Hispanic citizens aren't being discriminated against anymore than any other ethnic group in this country. Their constant victim mentality nauseates me. Of course we know this is meant to protect their ethnic kind in this country illegally. They fool no one.

Did i here this correct, Pedge for Respect, you know Respect is something that go's like this, it is a two way higway not one. You want respect, how bout earning respect, respect is something that is earned and trust, not to be given so lighlty, you want respect, how bout the respect for our great Country, show is that. Take up respect within your own Government, who does not respect the rights of it's own citizens.

I didn't see anything about "demand" in any of the National Council of La Raza material about the pledge, in their press releases on it or the Ozomalti PSA. Did you?

The only demand I saw, was from the writer of the article.
