Anyone in Congress who signs this bill needs to have their name plastered everywhere as being labeled a traitor. How obsurd is this? Damn!!! Just when I thought I'd seen it all.

There seems to be nothinng in his bill which screens out he recipients of services on the basis of legal immigration status. La RAZA receives mostly private funding but if the government starts to fund those uses that a private source might back the private funds become available for other purposes. A government funded housing service frees funds for lobbying for illegal aliens. A government funded hosing project provides an economic base for lobbying on behalf of illegals.

I can't imagine why anyone is surprised...........after all, we give the "Palestinians" millions. Arafat, a known TERRORIST, was invited to the Clinton White House THIRTEEN TIMES, while the Israelis were unwelcome. This country is screwed!!

I just wrote angry emails to the Representatives listed in the first post. Frank, Renzi, Silvestri, etc. But you have to use their office address as your own because some won't accept email from other than their constituents.

This just PISSES ME OFF.

This is an injustice to the American people!! What are these Senators
thinking!!! This is discrimination!!! We all know this funding will all go
to hispanics, whether legal or illegal. The Senators who support this
should be run out of office! American taxpayers's money going to
fund a racist group activities! We need to stop this bill from passing!
