La Raza and Americans (medical, Aztlan, website, illegal immigrants)

A recent proposal in Congress — H.R. 1999, which was cosponsored in April by Reps. Ruben Hinojosa of Texas and Rick Renzi of Arizona — would provide $10 million a year to a radical immigration group, the National Council of La Raza (meaning "the race"). The bill offers funds for "community development and affordable housing projects and programs serving low- and moderate-income households," for families of "Hispanic origin."

So giving immigrants the same free medical care, education, food, housing and income support available to all low-income groups is not enough. Now we have to single them out for special treatment, empowering a radical organization in the process. And the bill does not discriminate between legal and illegal immigrants. It is bad enough there are already programs like this. The real dig is that La Raza gets to distribute the money, cementing its position of influence within the immigrant community.

La Raza challenges the "radical" label that Michelle Malkin, U.S. congressmen and others have given it. On its Web site, La Raza makes a forceful argument claiming it opposes illegal immigration, disavows separatist or racist Hispanic movements and only seeks to bring Hispanics into the American mainstream by teaching English, respect for our laws, etc. Sounds truly inspiring, but the organizations and causes it supports tell a different story.

Renzi and Hinojosa are from districts that will look very favorably on this proposed anti-American legislation. Unfortunately it will probably pass.

If we do this for Hispanics, won't we have to do this for all other immigrant nationalities?

La Raza and Aztlan.org are RACIST organizations.... I think the House will save the day again after the corrupt and corporate-controoled US Senate will probably pass the amnesty bill.

But I am not giving up the fight. I am calling AND writting Congress to push them to OPPOSE the illegal amnesty bill.

Oh and remember that the Democrats who took over the House (other than qucks like Nancy Pelosi and Murtha) came from REPUBLICAN districts and these guys ran on "tough immigration enforcement" and very pro-family agendas.... that is why they were elected out of Republican districts.

So the House may once again be our saving grace against illegal alien amnesties!!!
