"La Raza" stands behind Bill Richardson for US president
The National Council of La Raza as well as many national Latino civil rights organizations and pro-immigrant groups announced yesterday their solid support of New Mexico state Governor Bill Richardson for US president. The President of the National Council of La Raza, Janet MurguÃ*a, said, "This is a great and historic event for the Latino community and we should celebrate it."

Richardson speaks perfect Spanish and his mother was born in Mexico. He is married, for over 30 years, to his high school sweetheart Barbara who was born in Nicaragua.

Juan Jose Gutierrez, Director of Movimiento Latino USA de Los Angeles, said that Richardson has a good chance of winning the Democratic Party nomination for president next year. Gutierrez added, "Even if he does not win, he will be in great position to negotiate with the victorious nominee, whether it be Barack Osama, Hillary Clinton or one of the many other Democratic candidates.

Rosa Rosales, national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) said that the New Mexican governor has great capacity to be an outstanding president. Rosales added, "We are proud and very happy that a Latino is today a candidate for president."

Governor Bill Richardson is against building the US/Mexico border barrier, is for giving amnesty to undocumented Mexican workers and recently met with the new president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, to discuss issues of mutual concern.

The governor said that voters are frustrated that there isn’t a solution for immigration reform yet and adds that just because he is Hispanic, he will not ignore the issue.

Of course he won't ignore the issue because he wants to open our borders and give tens of millions of illegals amnesty! I'm sure Bush wouldn't hold a candle to the determination Richardson would show in trying to legalize the illegals.
