National Council of La Raza

December 17, 2007 · 1 Comment

The omnibus includes a $390,000 earmark to the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to provide technical assistance on Hispanic workforce issues (Title I, Chart ‘c’ of the Labor-HHS and Education Joint Explanatory Statement).

The NCLR Hope Fund also would receive a $1 million earmark to capitalize a revolving loan fund to be used for community development (Page 125 of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Joint Explanatory Statement).

Just to prove that Congress and this Administration has NO intent to enforce immigration laws, just look at the funding for 287 (g) = $5,400,000. Funding for the creation of wildlife habitat comes in at $60,000,000. I strongly urge everyone to not support the SAVE Act - it is another shill just like the Fence Act. Get out on the election circuit and get heard on this topic or we will totally lose our middle class due to an invasion of poor, uneducated illegal aliens who are being trained how to vote with the use of your tax dollars which are given to LaRaza.

this is very troubling because, their is also a bill H.R. 1999 in commitee i believe right now which is titled the hope fund act that would grant the national council of la raza $5 million in 2008 and $10 million each year there after. i think we have discussed this on firesociety before but you just never know when they will take a notion to vote on it. i wrote numbersusa about this trying to get them involved since the money's given to la raza are being used  to file lawsuits evertime we try to enforce an immigration law. they wrote back and said they didn't not involve themselves in this, only immigration. that was a real disappointment to me since these actions are directly related to obstucting the laws we're trying to enforced!

If this doesn't start class warfare, civil strife and unrest, workplace bias and other UnAmerican activity, I don't know what else will.  WE THE PEOPLE have been trampled upon. The constitution has been used in the rest rooms of the Capital and we are in big trouble as a nation (former nation).

This isn't going to start class warfare, civil strife or anything else because the majority of Americans don't and never will know about it.  Until every mainstream newspaper and television networks report these atrocities the majority will continue to be blissfully unaware of how they are being sold down the river.  And we all know that the MSM will never report the truth about what our government is doing to us.  So we are fighting a losing battle.  This presidential race is a joke and without Tancredo or Hunter in the White House it will be, at the very best, status quo.  I'm absolutely astounded that when it has been shown that the majority of Americans are against illegal immigration,  Hunter or Tancredo didn't do alot better in the race.  Why are opponents of illegal immigration supporting the likes of Guiliani, Huckabee, McCain, Clinton, O'Bama or Edwards.  Any of them.  Democrat or Republican.  They are all the same.  LaRaza has most of them in their pockets using OUR money.  Where are these militias we heard about?  We need them NOW.  If our so called leaders want to commit suicide that's their perogative but they have no right to take the rest of us with them.

I sent this and the reply to both Numbers USA and Lou Dobbs.

This is unfair taxation with out representation.  The "elected" leaders do not have the right to give money to these types of groups without a vote by the people.

Another reason why you don't give to Political Parties but only to individuals that you can research and trust based on previous voting records and responses to current situations - like an invasion of 38 million foreigners demanding that we change our language to theirs and our flag to theirs and get rid of our borders and ..... La Raza.

La Raza..as well as the ACLU, CAIR should be brought up on sedition charges...

They need to be investigated to the fullest at the minimum!

I'm wondering, is there a way to gut the LaRaza funding from this bill just as the border fence funding was gutted.  Of course it would take a Senator or Representative with the guts to do it.  Do we have such a one?  Ted Poe, Dana Rohrbacher, Duncan Hunter, Jeff Sessions maybe?  I don't know if its even possible.  But someone please find out so we can start pushing for this.

An activist judge in New York ruled this week that New York could not make a law denying illegal aliens drivers licences.  Because that would be 'Unconstitutional'.  What is this world coming to?

Are there any Americans still out there or what?  Will they kill me for not learning Spanish.  Do I need a sombero, tell me what to do, por flavor?

Folks we Americans aren't going to have to worry about it because it is going to come down to the Mexicans and Islamists fighting for this country.  We, as Americans, are going to be history.

isn't it against the law for illegal aliens to be here so, how could it be unconstitutional for them not to be given a drivers licenses? when it is unconstitutional for them to be here. this has to do with the illegals voting in this election and nothing else but that! the democrats are running scared so they will cheat to get elected! we already had an example of that when last aug 2 they cheated to get a vote in the house to get taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants, the vote was a motion to recommit that would have prohibited funds in the agricultural appropriations bill going to illegal immigrants. at the time the bill closed the republicans had the votes needed to pass, 215-213. rather than except that the democrats broke more than 200 years of precedent and allowed solely democrat members, who were presured, to change their votes which changed the outcome. now illegals had taxpayer benefits. when earlier that same week democrats let the fight to cut $194 billion in medicare funds for our nations seniors! this was suppose to be under investigation by congressional members 3 dem's and 3 repub's last time i checked with brian bilbray's office nothing had been settled. that was back in oct., so what's new? when this all happened i had a very bad feeling and told bilbray's  office i was scared to death that there would be voter fraud in the next election.

This is maddening beyond all comprehension.  I will cringe from now on every time I hear the words "war on terrorism" coming out of DC.

Mammaw said: Folks we Americans aren't going to have to worry about it because it is going to come down to the Mexicans and Islamists fighting for this country.  We, as Americans, are going to be history. 

 

Phew!  Such optimism.  Maybe we should just roll over now, or bend down and grab ankle?  Surely that's not what being American is all about?

First of all, if this is an Earmark, we need to find out whose Earmark it is. The way they work in Washington is I'll overlook your earmark, if you'll overlook mine. If we can trace who put it in we can inundate that traitor's office with phone calls and faxes.
