Thread: LULAC Against Employer Raids

May 21, 2008 (202) 833-6130 ext. 16



lulac calls for a halt to large scale employment based immigration raids

Washington, DC LULAC National President Rosa Rosales made the following statement today in response to the Workforce Protections Subcommittee of the House Education and Labor Committee:

“LULAC thanks the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for highlighting the impact of raids on families and children such as in the largest workplace raid in U.S. history in Postville, Iowa and addressing this important issue. It is about time that Congress begins to look at the extremely aggressive tactics of Immigration and Custom Enforcement Officials (ICE) and the effects on the immigrant community. Up to this time congressional hearings that have been held focus on problems of immigration and rarely on human costs. [b]We urge Congress to hold hearings so that lawmakers are better informed about the human costs of aggressive enforcement measures so that they can develop more proactive immigration laws that meet the needs of our economy while expecting human dignity and the right to work.â€

Why don't we ask them about the right s of leagal American Citizens Verses the supposed right of Illegal Aliens. Seems to be no comparision ..Illegals have no RIGHTS>>

i have asked them before when i have called the national HQ to talk about issues and of course i get a lame answer or the question is avoided completely

extremely aggressive tactics of Immigration and Custom Enforcement Officials (ICE)

LULAC has the audacity to term ICE raids as 'Extremely Aggressive'!
Pure propoganda!


Appeal to Mexican President Calderon:
"Amnesty International has documented torture, arbitrary detention,
excessive use of force and the denial of due process," said Cox in a letter
to President Calderon ahead of his official visit Sunday through next
Thursday (Feb. 10-14). "The public security and criminal justice
institutions have too frequently been characterized as abusive, ineffective
and lacking independence and transparency."
Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA
