Thread: MD - Single-member Hispanic district proposed

STATE REPUBLICANS ARE FUMING OVER THIS......OUR DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN DISMANTLED (BY OUR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR) TO THE POINT THAT TWO REPUBLICAN DISTRICTS ARE NOW COMBINED WITH DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS, MAKING THOSE TWO DISTRICTS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR REPUBLICANS TO EVER WIN AGAIN, AND NOW ANOTHER DISTRICT IS PROPOSED IN HOPES TO CATER TO HISPANICS ONLY (THIS DISTRICT AREA IS A KNOWN SANCTUARY AREA FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS)

Maryland Redistricting Maps Released

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- For the first time in state history, a single-member Hispanic legislative district is proposed as part of Maryland's redistricting plan, as seen in redistricting maps released Friday. Planning officials released on Friday statewide maps of redrawn state legislative districts in Maryland.Among the changes includes a first-ever single-member Hispanic district to be located in Prince George's County. The Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee, tasked with redrawing the state's legislative districts based on the 2010 Census data, identified District 47B as containing more than 63 percent Hispanic residents.

Also under the proposal, Carroll County would get its own Senate district, and a large portion of Baltimore District 44 would encompass more of Baltimore County to show population loss in the city.The committee's maps reduce by one the number of districts that cross county lines to 13. According to state planning officials, the proposal would include 12 majority African-American districts -- an increase from 10 in 2002 -- and four other districts in which minority residents represent a majority.The committee is holding a public hearing Thursday at 10 a.m. in the Joint Hearing Room, Legislative Services Building, in Annapolis.Planning officials said the redrawn districts "reflects the demographics of the state, the population trends that have occurred over the past decade and the extensive public comments that the committee heard from hundreds of Marylanders."The governor is expected to formally introduce the plan to the General Assembly on the first day of the 2012 legislative session, Jan. 11, after which time lawmakers will have 45 days to approve the governor's plan or pass an alternative plan.

That's the problem. Prince George's County (the district that is in question here) has a very large illegal alien population. They have a sanctuary policy in place, and the pro-illegal alien group Casa de Maryland has a base there (Casa de maryland assists illegal aliens in finding jobs, obtaining government assistance, bails illegal aliens out of jail, etc). One study documented that In Prince George's County, programs to teach "immigrant students" English cost the county more than $66 million per year. There is a VERY large illegal population in that particular area.

The Senator of that district, Victor Ramirez (whose family "came here" from El Salvador) is very much pro-illegal...he has been fighting for in-state tuition for illegal aliens for years, and when any issue comes up regarding stricter enforcement of our immigration laws, he takes over the Annapolis State House by bringing bus loads of illegal aliens to fill the meeting hall.

He protested against a bill here in Maryland presented last year that would require proof of legal residence to vote in our elections, and with him spearheading that issue, the bill was eventually turned down so his hoards of questionable Hispanic residents could continue voting for him.

And now he has a area all to himself that will be a single-member Hispanic district.

There should be NO pandering to any ethnic group in any state as far as districting. I am suprised that the rest of the state has not filed suit for racial favoritism. Obama and his bandits are not going to allow anything to upset the latino community there or anywhere else. Expect blocks and payoffs by the whitehouse to keep the latinos on top

Well I was just reading an article about this particular area, and from what I recall, it said that 36% of the people in this district do not speak English. So no wonder they are "pandering" to them.

Mr. Romney has a special message for all those here illegally! "Get Out!"
