Thread: Latina City Councilor Fights Anti-Illegal Immigration Policies in California City

"Since it's the first time that the whites have been exceeded by another group, they feel threatened and the elected officials have devoted themselves to promoting fear. The inability to reason with the councilors was one of the reasons I entered politics," said Diaz.

This is such a racist comment. How can this woman claim to know that all whites feel threatened by Hispanics?

Diaz, who is seeking reelection in November, aims to become the first Hispanic mayor of Escondido in 2014 as well as helping to get allies elected to the council with an eye toward transforming local politics

.

Does she base her allies on their Hispanic heritage as worthy of holding political office? This woman certainly is quick to play the race card and in doing so shows herself to be a racist. She is , in my opinion, a hypocrite that uses her Hispanic heritage as a political tool and exhibits a reconquista mentality.

"The other councilors don't understand that they can't just offend undocumented people without also offending those who have documents, since the families have a mixed status," Diaz said.
Why should we worry about offending anyone who is for illegals when we are constantly offended by them?"

"Since it's the first time that the whites have been exceeded by another group, they feel threatened and the elected officials have devoted themselves to promoting fear. The inability to reason with the councilors was one of the reasons I entered politics," said Diaz.
We have been exceeded by another group because that group is here illegally. We feel threatened? Yeah when you are an American citizen being forced to speak spanish in your own country in order to get hired for a job, when foriegners are placed on a pedestal like they are so special and citizens are ignored, of course it's a threat. When our citizens are paying their tax dollars so that an illegal can have medical while they can't afford it for themselves, yes we are afraid. We are afraid because we see our government catering to those who do not even respect our laws or care to speak our language, or respect our country.

Escondido has a population of 145,000, of whom 48.8 percent are Hispanics - up from 39 percent in 2000 - and 40.4 percent are non-Hispanic whites. It is expected that Latinos will comprise 60 percent of Escondido residents by 2016."
Yes of course the numbers of hispanics has grown, that's what happens when we get invaded by illegals.
