Thread: La Raza Now Depending on The House!

[quote="fedupDeb"]A glaring reminder of why our fight is NOT over!


TODAY'S VOTE A SETBACK, NOT THE END, FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., expressed deep disappointment with today’s vote to end Senate consideration of comprehensive immigration reform.

“Today’s action is a victory for the status quo, and no one should be happy about that. But the Senate vote is a setback, not the death knell, for comprehensive immigration reform. We are not giving up on getting a real, effective, and fair solution to the immigration issue,â€

not when the GOP took a vote in private the ohter day and only 14 said they would support anyhting similiar to waht the senator had come up with

Recip, we need some kind of documentation that LaRaza is using thst money to encourage illegals. I tried to dig up something, but came up empty. Got any ideas.

I'm in it with you, fight on!!!

We don't need anything, their Charter states thats they are a civil rights group that advocates for Latino Americans, so why are they advocating For foreign Nationals here Illegally? As far as i'm concerned, they shouldn't be entitled to TaxPayer funds for that alone.

I think part of the reason NumbersUSA put up the current fax to your Representative is to head them off in advance. Please be sure and go to Numbers and send the fax to your Congressman or Congresswoman and say "Don't even think about it!".

My Rep., David Wu, never met an amnesty he didn't like. Here's my NumbersUSA fax to him:

Congressman David Wu
1023 Longworth, U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative Wu,

Please follow the Senate's lead and do not force an Illegal Alien Amnesty on America!

Many members of the Senate destroyed their careers trying to push a fatally flawed bill on the American people against their will.

If you think the public backlash over S 1639 was bad, just try Flake-Gutierrez or any other "comprehensive bill. We will have none of that. If you attempt to bring anything that even smells like S 1639, you and the other House members will experience upheaval beyond comprehension.

Now is the time to revive the legislation by Rep. King using the IRS to help enforce workplace immigration law, which is supported by your Senate counterpart Gordon Smith.

As our representative in the House of Representatives, you must now INSIST that the Bush Administration build the border fence and enforce our existing immigration laws.

Cordially,

I'll be following up with an e-mail and phone call.

whatever political gain people think may come out of this vote will be short-lived, especially in light of
the growing and increasingly energized Latino electorate.

In the long run, legislators should and will be held accountable for not moving a solution forward,â€

Yes - I'd like to know the status and organize against this. We definately need to take this opportunity to dent this evil organization while their only vulnerability is exposed.

We need to work on the house and senate not to fund LaRaza.

Yeah, you know things are bad when you're forced to fund the enemy.

La Raza, Maldef, ACLU, National Lawyers Guild and LULAC, have, in unison stated this policy: "Our definition of Mexican-American has expanded to encompass not only the citizen, but also the permanent resident alien and the undocumented alien."

The pro-illegal groups continually talk about the rising political power of Latinos. Must be they are talking of illegal immigrants, who continue to cross our wide open southern border in the thousands every day.

As an example of how brazen Maldef can be: this group once filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI against a private citizen for carrying a sign which read " Only citizens can vote."
