La Raza Speech Bad For McCain
He Should Cancel It

Some angry conservatives will tell you they have a good reason to call the Republican presidential candidate “Juanâ€

McCain was opposed to much of what George Bush stood for until
AMNESTY reared its ugly head and all of a sudden he became George Bush's handmaiden on the subject.

MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT REALLY WENT ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, DOESN'T IT?

I will give McCain this much: HE IS NOT MORE OF A FLIP-FLOPPER THAN HILLARY CLINTON HAS BEEN.

The Republican party is in deep trouble but so is the Democratic party.
THESE PEOPLE DO NOT SPEAK FOR MIDDLE AMERICA ON ANY LEVEL.

La Raza is a Hispanic supremacy group dedicated to promoting hispanic causes with no regard to the effect on the nation as a whole other groups. They advocate only for hispanic causes, extensively promote illegal hispanic immigration and demand civil rights and citizenship for illegal aliens.

What La Raza won't acknowledge is that civil rights pertain ONLY to citizens. The Merriam-Webster online Dictionary defines civil-rights as: "The nonpolitical rights of a citizen; especially: the rights of personal liberty guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution and by acts of Congress." If one is not a citizen of the country, civil rights do not apply.

La Raza's immigration position: NCLR strives "to encourage immigration policies that are fair and nondiscriminatory, to encourage family reunification, and to enact necessary reforms to the current immigration system." In short, it favors amnesty for illegals already residing in the U.S., and open borders henceforth. In La Raza's calculus, any restriction on the free movement of immigrants constitutes a violation of their civil rights, and any reduction in government assistance to illegal border-crossers is "a disgrace to American values." Thus La Raza supports continued mass Mexican immigration to the United States, and hopes to achieve, by the sheer weight of numbers, the re-partition of the American Southwest as a new state called Aztlan -- to be controlled by its alleged rightful owners, the people and government of Mexico. La Raza is also a sponsoring organization of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Coalition, which seeks to secure ever-expanding rights and civil liberties protections for illegal immigrants, and policy reforms that diminish or eliminate future restrictions on immigration. At many of the "pro-immigration" rallies that NCLR members have attended in recent times, their signature slogan has been: "La Raza unida nunca sera vencida!" ("The united [Hispanic] race will never be defeated!")

NCLR’s major policy positions also include the following:

* It supports access to driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.

* It opposes the REAL ID Act, which requires that all driver’s license and photo ID applicants be able to verify they are legal residents of the United States, and that the documents they present to prove their identity are genuine. According to La Raza, this law "opens the door to widespread discrimination and civil rights violations."

* It opposes the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal Act (CLEAR), which would empower state and local law-enforcement authorities to enforce federal immigration laws. La Raza argues this would "result in higher levels of racial profiling, police misconduct, and other civil rights violations."

* It lobbies for racial and ethnic preferences (affirmative action) and set-asides in hiring, promotions, and college admissions.

* It supports bilingual education and bilingual ballots.

* It supports voting rights for illegal aliens.

* It supports stricter hate-crime laws. [but not if the victim is non-minority]

* It opposes the Aviation Transportation and Security Act requiring that all airport baggage screeners be U.S. citizens.

* It opposed President Bush’s signing of the "Secure Fence Act of 2006" which authorized 700 miles of new border fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.

As columnist Michelle Malkin reports, La Raza seeks to inculcate young people with its worldview by funding a number of charter schools that advocate ethnic separatism and anti-American, anti-white attitudes. Among these schools are the following:

* Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Arizona is "structured and developed around the concepts of identity, culture, and language." It supports local ethnic lobbying efforts "to right social injustices by educating the community and helping create social change." Under the heading "Greatest Achievements," the school’s website lists its visit from the Marxist academic fraud Rigoberta Menchu, and its sponsorship of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos.

* La Academia Semillas del Pueblo is a Los Angeles public school that teaches children "Aztec math" and the Mexican indigenous language of "Nahuatl." The principal, Marcos Aguilar, is an ethnic separatist who told a UCLA interviewer: "We don’t want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don’t need a White water fountain. … We are not interested in what they have because we have so much more and because the world is so much larger. And ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction." [ ed: Well then get your BROWN ass out of our WHITE country you scumbag!] [ ed: Oh and you are very interested in "what we have" and you are trying to steal what we have built because you and your ilk are too damn lazy and stupid to fix your own damn country - Mexico ]

* Aztlan Academy in south Tucson seeks "to integrate a meaningful Chicano Studies program into [students’] lives, language, and academics, as a means of developing their intellects as well as their pride and self-esteem." ("Aztlan" is the separatist name for the Southwestern United States that NCLR hopes will someday reunite with Mexico.) [ so how does NOT encouraging learning the language of the country you live in develop intellect, pride and self-esteem? Are you preparing them to GO HOME to Mexico maybe? ]

* The Dolores Huerta Preparatory High School in Pueblo, Colorado is named after the Latina labor union activist who is a Board member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

* The Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in Saint Paul, Minnesota supports the aforementioned federal DREAM Act.

An eminent figure in NCLR’s history is Raul Yzaguirre, who served as the organization’s President and CEO from 1974 to 2004. A notable former Chairman is Jose Villareal. [see below for more on this dude]
The organization’s current President is Janet Murquia, who worked at the White House in various capacities from 1994 to 2000, ultimately as deputy assistant to President Bill Clinton. Immediately prior to joining NCLR, she was the Executive Vice Chancellor for University Relations at the University of Kansas.

In 2005 NCLR received some $15.2 million in federal grants, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools; undisclosed amounts were earmarked for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.

NCLR also receives funding from the American Express Foundation; the Allstate Foundation; the AT&T Foundation; the Bank of America Foundation; the Carnegie Corporation of New York; the Annie E. Casey Foundation; the Fannie Mae Foundation; the Ford Foundation; the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; the Joyce Foundation; the W. K. Kellogg Foundation; the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; the Open Society Institute; the David and Lucile Packard Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation; and the Verizon Foundation.

NCLR’s total revenues in 2005 were $25.3 million. Its net assets that year were nearly $52.4 million.
