FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jun 28, 2007
TODAY'S VOTE A SETBACK, NOT THE END, FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM
Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., expressed deep disappointment with today’s vote to end Senate consideration of comprehensive immigration reform.
“Today’s action is a victory for the status quo, and no one should be happy about that. But the Senate vote is a setback, not the death knell, for comprehensive immigration reform. We are not giving up on getting a real, effective, and fair solution to the immigration issue,” stated Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO.
“Despite today’s vote, the country still needs leadership on this issue. There is bipartisan immigration reform legislation awaiting action in the U.S. House of Representatives, and supporters of comprehensive immigration reform will be looking to the House to take action as soon as possible,” continued Murguía.
“Finally, we believe that whatever political gain people think may come out of this vote will be short-lived, especially in light of the growing and increasingly energized Latino electorate. In the long run, legislators should and will be held accountable for not moving a solution forward,” concluded Murguía
I look froward to traitorous Mel Martinez stepping down as head of the RNC
As far as I’m concerned, any amnesty bill is dead.

Would be for you all to go home and work this hard on cleaning up your own government and leave our country alone.
Build the fence; throw the squatters out!
Make sure and hit your e-mail, family/friends/acquaintances in your state, if you had Senators, Democrat or Republican, that voted for cloture on this amnesty bill. Simply point out why it was a bad bill, that they supported it, and that they have to go next time they are up for election, and ask them to pass the e-mail on.
No question it isn’t the end. They’ll try to ram this thing through again and again.
“I look froward to traitorous Mel Martinez stepping down as head of the RNC”
They aren’t getting a penny from me until he does. Even after that they will have to regain my trust.
Next is the amnesty by piecemeal. Senator Feinstien has an agricultural guest worker bill coming up. When passions cool
Can we do something to help this along?
Altogether, an EXCELLENT exercise in democracy. Our Elite internal enemy “leaders” have identified themselves—now it is OUR JOB to see to it they get to enjoy IMMEDIATE RETIREMENT (if not sooner).
Get to work, boys and girls. Primary season is at hand.
If I started a, well, lets call it a “club”, made up mostly of white folk, and named the club “The Race”, there’d be hell to pay...
Would love to see their membership list.
Would fax it off to ICE/Border Patrol downtown and they could get a head start on bringing illegals out of the shadows and on to buses.
This group gets a lot of attention.
Lets hope it is bigger than that Arab Terrorist enabling group called Who CAIRs.
The RNC continues to send me mail requesting donations. My replies from here on will be “Close the Border. Investigate CAIR. Mel Martinez MUST resign.”
Froward?.....I'd be elated.....
Renzi is currently under federal investigation for his involvement in a land-swap deal.[1][2]. On April 19, 2007, the FBI raided his family business, and he temporarily resigned from the House Intelligence Committee.[3] On April 27 Renzi denied printed claims he was considering resigning office.[4]
Don’t let your guard down. It will be back.
I have a real, effective and fair solution.
March them back over the border at gunpoint.
Politically, Hinojosa supports stem cell research, gay marriage rights, increased education funding, free trade agreements, gun control, and the lowering of health care costs. He opposes the Iraq War, social security privatization, and stronger immigration policies.
ATTENTION: Those of you who are here illegally HAVE NO CIVIL RIGHTS.
It is not over until the wall is built and the law is enforced.
It's more than him and the on-the-record Judas's who voted for amnesty... many more were for it but chickened out in the final hours. Brownback actually pulled his Yay vote 10 minutes into the voting.
We have a lot of weeds to pull...
I cant remember the last time that I felt so empowered as I did yesterday. The one thought was that the Amercian people took back the power from the elected elite. It was far more than about immigration. It was like a tide change...the folks up there in their little bubble had to listen to the American people FINALLY. I’m still swimming in joy this morning. BUT remember that this is no time to become apathetic.
When you get a begging letter with a phony survey asking for contributions, in the words of General Patton: “...you will know what to do!”
Politely, of course.
Martinez has once serious hard head.
Don’t bet on him stepping down.
I wrote several e-mails telling him he is a p.o.s. for supporting the amnesty bill and he sent me a request for a donation to the g.o.p.
What a dumbass.
These people have a lot of nerve.
If a refugee from south of Mexico’s border tries to enter Mexico illegally, there will hell to pay, but Mexico actually encourages its people to enter our country illegally.
Secure the border; enforce the current law!
Really, now. Just wanted to be on the winning side, it would appear.
“Today’s action is a victory for the status quo, and no one should be happy about that”
...who says bit$$!? Get out of my country and stay out! This is how a representative republic works. The people spoke LOUDLY AND CLEARLY!!! (The “I’ll Mow My Own Damn Lawn” bumber stickers didn’t hurt either.)
Find out why EXACTLY there is no fence on our border, why people from terrorist nations can get visas to come here, and why those jacka@@es think they deserve the pay raise they just gave themselves?
ASK YOUR PUBLIC SERVANT FOR ANSWERS!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
These racist lowlifes can kiss my foot.
Note tagline.
>“Today’s action is a victory for the status quo, and no one should be happy about that.<
Poppycock, you reconquista pig. Yesterday’s action is a prelude to demanding that fence be erected, and that illegal invaders be tossed out on their ears.
“...wrote several e-mails telling him he is a p.o.s. for supporting the amnesty bill and he sent me a request for a donation to the g.o.p.
What a dumbass “
La Raza, besa mi culo.
Hey La Raza! Call these guys. They love illegal invaders. As for us, you have awaken the Beast of the American Citizenry from its apathetic slumber and you now have our full attention. We are well into the process of taking back control of our government. Very soon we will be dealing with you illegal invaders who have no right to be in this country. Abide by our laws. Leave now. You have been served notice.
“an increasingly energized Latino electorate”
It’s not an electorate unless they can vote.
No! to amnesty.
Yes! to border control.
Yes! to upholding our present immigration and deportation laws.
“La Raza- The clan with a tan” is very funny.
Imagine if an all white group was called “The Race” and was trying to influence congress. They would be considered Nazis.
These people are ethnocentrists who care not about the impact of their interests on America. This kind of attitude is dangerous and will not be assimilated very well because they see the world as them -vs- us. They simply want to influence anything that is only in their interests at any cost to others who are not part of their “raza”.
Is this legislation actually going forward? Has it passed already?
I've already been doing that.
unbelievable.

Y-e-e-e-s-s-s.
And the sooner the better.
No way does this character represent Republicans.
It was introduced in the House and then referred to the Committee on Financial Services.
Has it passed already?
No.
“Despite today’s vote, the country still needs leadership on this issue.” La Raza
That would be us, the people. We aren’t an oligarchy, like your country.
