Julian Castro is ‘only’ veep prospect for top Clintonians (Castro looting taxpayers a plus)

Team Hillary is pushing Julian Castro as her VP nominee. “The Republicans are making a big push for the Hispanic vote, so that makes Castro an obvious pick.” Julian Castro, and his twin brother, Congressman Joaquin, were early backers of 2008 Clinton......the odds of Mrs. Clinton picking another woman for the ticket are “zero” .... which eliminates Wendy Davis, the liberal darling of Texas Democrats. --SNIP--That leaves Julian Castro. At just 40 years old, he’s a a two-term mayor of San Antonio, Texas, and is Obama’s HUD Secy. The Castro brothers — twins born to a single mother whose grandmother come across the Mexican border as a 6-year-old orphan.

Castro has declared that “Joaquin and I got into Stanford [University] because of affirmative action,” even though he said he scored just 1,210 on my SATs, “which was lower than the median matriculating student.” Mrs. Clinton is planning to push affirmative action as a key campaign issue. The Castro brothers are a rags-to-riches story — but always with the help of government, another key tenet of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. And Julian Castro has pushed gay issues, an issue dear to Mrs. Clinton.

Julian Castro downplays the veep talk. “I’m focusing on my role as HUD secretary,” he told Buzzfeed. “At the right time later on down the road, I anticipate getting involved. It’s clear both parties are going to speak to the Latino community in this cycle. What’s also clear is only the Democratic Party has embraced policies that have improved the economic prospects for the Latino community,” he said.

Watchdog: Julián Castro’s San Antonio misused HUD money
Politico ^ | May 19, 2014 | Jon Prior / FR Posted by PJ-Comix

San Antonio, Texas, failed to properly spend funds approved by Congress to combat the housing crisis while President Barack Obama’s expected nominee to run the Housing and Urban Development Department was mayor of the city, according to a 2012 report from the agency’s inspector general. The report could be a blemish on the record of San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, a rising star in the Democratic party whose consideration for a spot in the cabinet is seen as a way to burnish his national political profile.(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...

Castro’s mommie is a commie. Just what we need.

[ETL]

Castro. How appropriate. Just when that other commie piece of crap in the WH is opening up relations with Cuba.

Hillary and the smirking Castro---La Raza is salivating as we type.

====================================================

Castro warned Republicans about holding up comprehensive immigration reform. So I guess nada amnesty will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's violent, separatist plans for America. BTW, Castro was speaking from The La Raza Bank---that is to say HUD---now known as the La Raza Bank---withdrawls only. ================================================

BEWARE THE CASTROS (1) US Cong Joaquin Castro, (2) his identical twin brother, ex-Mayor Julian Castro--heads HU), and, (3) their mother---Maria “Rosie” Castro--a hardline La Raza activist.

God only knows the tax dollars these three have confiscated for the blood-thirsty La Raza.

BACKSTORY Castro---2012 Democrat convention keynoter---genially introduced the mother, Maria “Rosie” Castro to the convention-goers. Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist....a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded “La Raza."

(Castro is mentioned as a possible 2016 Dem VP candidate---and has been photed w/ Hillary.)

====================================================

AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING MAMASITA CASTRO'S HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.

LA RAZA schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.

LA RAZA TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).

===============================================

La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."

[Buckeye McFrog]

So if Hil strokes out in office we’ll end up with a corrupt machine mayor as POTUS. Swell.

[Arthur McGowan]

Oh, goodie. Another politician from a never-married mother and/or broken home. (William Jefferson Blythe. Stanley Ann never married BHO, Sr., or Frank Marshall Davis. And Hillary has Chelsea Hubbell.)

Are the Castros “practicing Catholics”? If so, that’s a big plus for Hillary, in her drive to change the teaching of the Catholic Church on abortion and other forms of murder.

[Poison Pill]

They want to put a guy named CASTRO on the ticket?

Perfect

Castro "doesn’t know" if violent latino gang members should be deported
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | Feb 5, 2013 | Beltway Confidential by Joel Gehrke / FR Posted by Liz

Ex-San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro (Obama appointee to head HUD) refused to agree that members of violent gangs should be deported before they commit crimes while participating in gang activities.

“I believe in ensuring that America is free of folks that have committed violent crimes,” Castro, who received national attention as a speaker at the DNC Convention, told Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-Va., during the 2013 House Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration reform. “With regard to the hypothetical,” Castro also said, “I readily concede that I’m not in law enforcement, I’m not a technical expert in that regard.”

Cong Forbes explained to Castro that he was asking about the issue in light of a rape that took place in which the accused perpetrator could not have been deported due to having protected status. “The country’s thrust up to this point in fighting gang activity is wait until they kill somebody, hurt somebody or rape somebody and then go after them,” patriot Cong Randy Forbes said when he “introduced a 2005 bill that would allow the government to deport aliens and immigrants who are not permanent US residents and belong to criminal gangs,” The Washington Times reported.

Castro has declared that “Joaquin and I got into Stanford [University] because of affirmative action,” even though he said he scored just 1,210 on my SATs, “which was lower than the median matriculating student.” P<> This arrogance shows a BIG opportunity for the GOP to attract Asians angry at AA, which denied their kids slots at top schools -- as well as White voters, who the GOP is always terrified to target. The only way the GOP wins next year is if they focus on those two groups and ignore Blacks and Hispanics. any pandering whatsoever to illegals will cost the GOP fatally with Whites once again. Republicans don't seem to get that the Hispanics may be the electorate of the future -- but NOT now. They register at half the rate of Blacks, and Judge Hanen's injunction is crippling Democrat efforts to get DACA recipients on the voter rolls in time.

PING

[KC_Conspirator]

From mayor of a tertiary, 3rd rate city to Veep? I would say “you have got to be $hitting me”, as that is a total lack of experience. The lib MSM will tell you a GOP state governor does not have enough experience for the highest positions in government, but turnaround and say a dem community organizer does.

[tanknetter]

With the full path to citizenship announcement and now this, Hillary is looking increasingly desperate to lock down the Far Left and Hispanic Dem Primary vote.

Means she’s scared of another substantive threat from her Left, like the one that ruined her 2008 coronation.

Nice deconstruction.

[tanknetter]

This is all about getting her the nomination. Nothing else.

As soon as she has it, she’ll attempt to tack back to the center. I don’t see Castro as her eventual VP pick. Just a convienient trial balloon to lock down more Left Wing and Hispanic groups.

The amusing thing is this sort of thing was a subplot at the end of the final season of The West Wing. Jimmy Smit’s President-Elect gives the GOP loser (Alan Alda) a non-offer of being “considered” for Vice President. Alda’s character doesn’t fall for it ... Says he’s not going to be a pawn to make Smits look like he’s trying to be bipartisan.

[Din Maker]

I know that FReepers hate the very thought of “Identity” politics, but, we MUST have someone on the GOP Ticket with a Hispanic surname or we will lose in a landslide. The Hispanic name “Cruz” would work. And to make it even better, how about a female for VP. Marsha Blackburn of TN comes to mind.

LYING-IN-WAIT---La Raza is aligned w/ the most extreme anti-American latino factions extant today. Cong Guttierrez (Dumbo-Ill) lacerated Republicans at last summer's Cong immigration hearing for daring to make inquiries......and he disdained a reporter's question about illegals getting falsified EITC refunds...even for children who do not exist.

If these people are agents of a foreign govt, no one is. Gutierrez says, "the idea of deporting or driving out 11 million people and their families is absurd” and predicted that "it's going to backfire big-time on Republican hardliners."

Snicker ....seems to me we've heard that song before.......

Last fall, TV news aired Murrieta, California taxpayers turning away bus loads of unaccompanied minors swarming the US border (their parents lying in wait to join them on the US gravy train); these taxpayers cited their concerns about public health (pre-dated child deaths from enterovirus and various Third World contaminates).

Americans fearful for their children, were accused of fear-mongering and exaggeration by fascistic latino pressure groups.

===========================================

BACKSTORY At the La Raza conference in Cali (predated 2014 midterms)---Cong Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill) lacerated Republicans over amnesty; he threatened Republicans---saying vengeful latinos would make sure they never win another presidency.

(waiting for hysterical laugher to die down)

SHE USED TO CRAP IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND but now La Raza President/ and chief hater, Janet Murguia, told attendees that it sickened her to hear Americans chanting. She accused Murietta, Cali protesters of having "cloaked their hatred in patriotism" by shouting "'USA! USA!' again and again."

"It made me angry," she said. "In fact, I was outraged."

Murguia demanded amnesty and said the road to the White House for Republicans goes through the Latino community and La Raza. She also said Republicans who want to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will not get Hispanic votes.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=================================================

Quoting Gutierrez (Dimwit-Ill)---a loud-mouthed advocate of amnesty: “The next day after we pass (amnesty), you know we’re not going to be satisfied, we’re going to come back,” he said. “We’re going to have a civil rights act, we’re going to have a voting rights act… Nobody is leaving this fight once we conclude this first chapter,” he said. "Hopefully, in 30 years, [we] can bring immigrants… from all over the world,” Gutierrez said.

AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ESTORRTED BY THIRD WORLD $266 million of our tax dollars (that we know of) in the current spending bill is going to Central America federales to help them (GAG) assist "child victims of violence."

Current Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns
the US will be inundated w/ even more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--
