Main article: Illegal immigration to the United States

Between 12 and 20 million illegal immigrants are estimated to be living in the United States; the exact number is unknown.[89] The majority of the illegal immigrants are from Mexico.[90] Illegal immigration has been a longstanding issue in the United States, creating immense controversy. Harvard University economist George J. Borjas explains that the controversy centers around the "huge redistribution [of wealth] away from [unskilled American] workers to [American employers] who use immigrants." [91] In 2007, President Bush called for Congress to endorse his guest worker proposal, stating that illegal immigrants took jobs that Americans would not take. [92] The Pew Hispanic Center notes that while the number of legal immigrants (including LPRs, refugees, and asylees) arriving has not varied substantially since the 1980s, the number of illegal aliens has increased dramatically and, since the mid 1990s, has surpassed the number of legal immigrants. [28] Penalties for employers who hire illegal immigrants range from $2,000-$10,000 and up to six months' imprisonment. [93]

Now, why doesn't La Raza and other OBL groups tell the folks at Wikipedia that they are xenophobes or racists for mentioning all of this? Why, because they know it is fact.

However, I am waiting, because pretty soon, they too will get an earful from "The Race".

LaRaza's forte is in finding new targets to heap a guilt trip on. As long as they can do this profitably, even if it means always moving on to new targets, they can keep going.

Some exerts form this article:

MALDEF had actually begun its efforts on behalf of illegal aliens two years earlier, in 1975, as part of a joint suit with the American Civil Liberties Union, charging the Immigration and Naturalization Service with "indiscriminate and unconstitutional arrests and deportations of persons of Latin or La Raza appearance." MALDEF justified its actions on the belief that Hispanics appear the same whether in the U.S. legally or illegally. Therefore any efforts aimed at illegals would affect all Hispanics.

"La Raza appearance", but wait, all of these groups keep decrying that "La Raza" does not mean "The Race", and yet here they themselves have said it, as well as ACLU.

It is obviously a self rationalizing belief in laws as only being applicable as long as it is not expected to be applied equally to them.

I found it very interesting that although NCLR has made the claim that the "la raza" in their name only means something vague such as "the people", they use it within the context of that lawsuit to describe only "Latino" illegal aliens. Backwards from their claims.

And here, the first article from Wikipedia, states the very same obvious things we all have said here, yet they, so far, have not been called racist or xenophobic.

I think NCLR's new motto needs to be "So much rhetoric to spew, so little time".
