Jose may have just opened up a can of worms.

Trump might expose La Raza for who they really are.

[VeniVidiVici]

The National Council of “The Race” thinks Trump is a bigot.

Oh, the irony!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He has all the right enemies, and those enemies keep publicly endorsing him.

[GoneSalt]

Just a bit of difference between the Hasty Pudding Club and a thousand LaRaza and MS13 members.

Revisit “cleverness”.

[tumblindice]

Trump is a racist, but La Raza: whatever you do, don’t call members of a group called `The Race’ racists.

[aquila48]

Something he will surely be proud of coming from “The Race”.

[Truth29]

"This should give him another bump in the polls...at least 5 more points!"

Right; enough with the cowering to racial politics. La Raza is racist to the core and should be treated as the illegal loving, criminal enabling organization that they are. If Trump drives them to distraction and intemperate acts, so much the better.

[Romans Nine]

Oh La Raza, the wanna be NAACP for lighter dark skinned people’s.

What a joke. The KKK was less racist.

[Kozy]

THIS AWARD SEALS IT FOR ME. TRUMP 2016.

[hosepipe]

............" We don't need no stinking Billionaires"

[dfwgator]

Trump to La Raza, “Just make sure you spell the name right.”

[Slings and Arrows]

Meh. He’s no Jim Thompson.

Well it that racist organization says it, Trump must be a pretty good guy.

[IronJack]

That is a badge I would wear with honor. It’s like Jesse Jackson calling you a racist, or Charles Manson condemning you for being a sociopath.

[miss marmelstein]

I like my idea and I do think it’s clever. He thinks out of the box - maybe you should try it.

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)—the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, has awarded Donald Trump the highly un-coveted ‘Worst Person In The World’ award.

Of course, that's the orders from their government in Mexico City.

It's taken a couple of decades.. but almost there. The corrupt Mexican government wants to establish its control over its "citizens living abroad" (even if born in the U.S.) and no doubt likes the controversy described in the aritlce as it creates "victims" of the U.S.

prior to the 1980s

There were Mexican government efforts to

• attract and remind permanent U.S. residents of their Mexican heritage
• along with programs providing temporary workers for the U.S.

But nothing in the former like today.

1980s Legal immigration

Under President Salinas

• Mexican political parties undertook to bond with U.S. citizens of Mexican descent and
• Mexico re-established Mexican citizenship for the Americans;
• Mexico's dual citizenship advocates sought to augment votes.

Mexico's

• web of multitudinous consulates and
• Mexico's new program for Mexican communities abroad (Program for Mexican Communities Abroad, PCME)

became very active in the U.S.

By 1990 Mexican policy had

• accepted their citizens' permanent settlement in the U.S.,
• sought to reinforce its emigrants' homeland ties and,
• encourage their organizational development in the U.S.

1996 LA Times article

1990s legal immigration

Mexico wanted Mexican-Americans to

• help defend Mexican interests in the United States;

President Ernesto Zedillo (1990s) spoke to Mexican-American politicians telling them

• "You're Mexicans -- Mexicans who live north of the border" and
• urged them to help create an ethnic lobby with political influence similar to that of American Jews;
• as Mexican-Americans become more powerful they were to defend and
• advocate Mexican interests in the United States.

1995 NY Times article

1980s and Beyond Illegal immigration

The Immigration Control and Reform Act (IRCA) in 1986

• gave amnesty to almost three million mostly Mexican undocumented aliens;
• these millions became the "basis for a new era in Mexico’s relations with its diaspora"
• including a network of Mexican activist organizations in the United States.

Mexican Policy & Émigré Communities in the U.S.

And then there is the emergence of hometown philanthropic clubs that send multi-billions of dollars to Mexican communities saving all levels of the corrupt Mexican government from having to depart with a peso to help its citizens. A better term is

• "hometown associations";
• HTAs have been around a long time;
• some of the most famous HTAs were the German Nazi HTAs.

Meanwhile if that money remained in the hands of the ILLEGAL aliens (undocumented workers) would they need taxpayer support for food, housing, healthcare, education, and all other transfer payments that states and communities provide them?

IMO it's the way the corrupt government of Mexico "taxes" its citizens in its "Nation without borders."

So yes, undocumented workers do pay taxes.

La Raza is just another Marxist hate group. Brown on the outside, red on the inside.

[mulligan]

Stupidity is not curable.

[justa-hairyape]

Hey, The Race, Trump was talking about the Mexican government. If you think Mexican is a race, than you are racist and you admit the country of Mexico is racist. BTW - Latinos claim Mexicans are the worse Latinos on the planet.

If you judge a man by the enemies he makes, then kudos to Donald for being dissed by the Tan Klan
