Will La Raza come out and denounce these patriotic Hispanic Americans for supporting Arizona immigration law?

August 1, 2010 by  
Filed under hispanic politics

The Arizona Latino Republican Association will become the first Hispanic organization in the country to actively oppose the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the state of Arizona’s new immigration law.

Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, Inc., said he will be joined by ALRA Chairman Jesse Hernandez and members of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association at an announcement Thursday morning in Phoenix.

ALRA will become the first group of Latino Americans to "put a foot forward legally" in support of S.B. 1070 by filing a motion to intervene against the Justice Department’s lawsuit challenging Arizona’s immigration policy, Klayman said.

"This is a way to tell the country that, ‘Hey, we’re Americans too and we believe in the rule of law," Klayman told Foxnews.com. "It’s a way to say, ‘We got here legally and we contributed a great deal. We want the rest of the country to recognize that we’re with you’ [in the national immigration debate]."

I actually believe they would disown them and call them very Un-Mexico like. Take this problem here..Huixtla, Chiapas – Residents in the area of Avenida Gonzalez Ortega and Calle Iturbide are asking authorities to intervene concerning the presence of a shelter which for the last few days has housed a group of abused, exploited and abandoned Central American children. The children misbehave and cause commotion at all hours of the night and won’t allow the neighbors to get any rest. They call upon the police to restore order.

The shelter was originally created to care for local street children, but now has been converted to care for a number of illegal children. The neighbors complain that groups of these kids beg for money when they (the neighbors) walk through the area and cause them to feel helpless because the authorities won’t look into the situation.

Additionally, the local residents ask that the Director, Jorge Alberto Lopez Munoz, be investigated for failure to control the activities of the children.

What do you think Taxpayer funded CASA de Maryland ventures into politics?

July 20, 2010 by  
Filed under hispanic politics

CASA de Maryland, the immigration advocacy group that collects millions of dollars in taxpayer money, has started a political organization to back pro-Hispanic candidates that critics contend blurs the line between nonprofit work and political activism.

Dubbed CASA in Action, the group sent out surveys to politicians in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties and will endorse primary candidates who promote Hispanic causes.

Among the questions: Whether candidates support giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, whether English should be the official state language, and whether office seekers would push for more funding for Hispanic nonprofits.

"It allows immigrants and low-income people in Maryland to come together and express their political priorities," said spokeswoman Eliza Leighton.

But some say the group’s foray into politics should preclude it from receiving taxpayer money.

"I think the era of CASA being a service entity is over," said Brad Botwin, director of Help Save Maryland, an anti-illegal-immigration group. "I think we need to stop giving them any funds. Other groups can do the same work without promoting lawlessness."

CASA will receive nearly $2.1 million this fiscal year from local governments, including $1.3 million from Montgomery County, and another $32,000 in federal money, according to Kim Propeack, the group’s director of community organizing and political action. CASA in Action has raised $45,000 thus far from members paying $9 annual dues, she added.

Botwin argues the group, for years, has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars despite ignoring — and often embracing — illegal immigration. CASA runs five day laborer sites in Maryland, offering services regardless of immigration status.

CASA officials responded that the new wing of the organization is funded entirely by member donations. CASA’s top brass, including Executive Director Gustavo Torres, are running the political operation and have not hired new employees for the political team.

Propeack says human-service organizations have made similar plunges into politics. She referenced the Tenants and Workers United, the largest member-based organization for low-income workers in Northern Virginia, as the local model for such a move.

Like CASA, the group canvases against what it considers overly harsh raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and supports day laborers throughout the region.

Nonprofit legal analysts tell The Washington Examiner that CASA is not in violation of federal law if they don’t use government money for political purposes and note the time spent between the two wings of the organization

They are using this money to make their own set of immigration Laws.They want illegals to be able to vote in our elections, illegals to work for police dept’s, drivers licenses offices, work in public assistance positions to ensure all illegals get food stamps,welfare, free college educations. Next they will want an illegal from mexico to be the next mayor or Governor.They are quickly eroding our laws into a nation of lawlessness just like Mexico.

President Obama = End of Karl Rove politics

July 15, 2010 by  
Filed under hispanic politics

For eight years, weve been told by those in power that we are small, bigoted and stupid — easily divided and easily frightened. This was the toxic catechism of Bush-Rove politics. It was the soiled banner picked up by the sad McCain campaign, and it was often abetted by an amen corner in the dominant news media…So lets be blunt. Almost every assumption about America that was taken as a given by our political culture on Tuesday morning was proved wrong by Tuesday night.

The most conspicuous clichés to fall, of course, were the twin suppositions that a decisive number of white Americans wouldnt vote for a black presidential candidate — and that they were lying to pollsters about their rampant racism. But the polls were accurate. There was no Bradley effect. A higher percentage of white men voted for Obama than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton included. Obama also won all four of those hunting-and-Hillary-loving Rust Belt states that became 2008s obsession among slumming upper-middle-class white journalists: Pennsylvania and Michigan by double digits, as well as Ohio and even Indiana, which has gone Democratic only once (1964) since 1936. The solid Republican South, led by Virginia and North Carolina, started to turn blue as well…And what about all those terrified Jews who reportedly abandoned their progressive heritage to buy into the smears libeling Obama as an Israel-hating terrorist? Obama drew a larger percentage of Jews nationally (78) than Kerry had (74) and — mazel tov, Sarah Silverman! — won Florida. Lets defend Hispanic-Americans, too…a Clinton pollster, Sergio Bendixen, told The New Yorker in January that the Hispanic voter — and I want to say this very carefully — has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates. [Yet] a black presidential candidate won Latinos… 67 percent to 31 (up from Kerrys 53-to-44 edge and Gores 62-to-35).

Young voters also triumphed over the condescension of the experts. Are they going to show up? Cokie Roberts of ABC News asked in February. Probably not. They never have before. By the time November comes, theyll be tired. In fact they turned up in larger numbers than in 2004, and their disproportionate Democratic margin made a serious difference, as did their hard work on the ground.

The same commentators who dismissed every conceivable American demographic as racist, lazy or both got Sarah Palin wrong too…Anyone paying attention (with the possible exception of John McCain) could see she was woefully ill-equipped to serve half-a-heartbeat away from the presidency…But Palins appeal wasnt overestimated only because of her kitschy American Idol star quality. Her fierce embrace of the old Karl Rove wedge politics, the divisive pitting of the real America against the secular other America.

If there were any doubts the 1960s are over, they were put to rest Tuesday night when our new first family won the hearts of the world as it emerged on that vast blue stage to join the celebration in Chicagos Grant Park…Still, change may come slowly to the undying myths bequeathed to us by the Bush decade. Dont think for a minute that power concedes, Obama is fond of saying.

The post-Bush-Rove Republican Party is in the minority because it has driven away women, the young, suburbanites, black Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans, educated Americans, gay Americans and, increasingly, working-class Americans. Whos left? The only states where the G.O.P. increased its percentage of the presidential vote relative to the Democrats were West Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas. Even the North Carolina county where Palin expressed her delight at being in the real America went for Obama by more than 18 percentage points.

The actual real America is everywhere. It is the America that has been in shell shock since the aftermath of 9/11, when our government wielded a brutal attack by terrorists as a club to ratchet up our fears, betray our deepest constitutional values and turn Americans against one another in the name of patriotism. What we started to remember the morning after Election Day was what we had forgotten over the past eight years, as our abusive relationship with the Bush administration and its press enablers dragged on: Thats not who we are.

So even as we celebrated our first black president, we looked around and rediscovered the nation that had elected him. We are the ones weve been waiting for, Obama said in February, and indeed millions of such Americans were here all along, waiting for a leader. This was the week that they reclaimed their country.
