What Karl Rove Should Tell La Raza

White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza.

If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks.

La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans. The bill, which calls for tough worksite enforcement of immigration laws and 700 miles of border fencing, was condemned by La Raza as a “laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrations restrictionists in Congress.”

Will Rove defend the immigration reforms passed by President Bush’s party in the House and tell La Raza that House Republicans are neither “mean-spirited” nor “radical”? He should. House Republicans deserve Rove’s support.

The Pence plan does indeed seem to be a good middle ground.

Now you've done it! Put on that flame suit.

And????

I want your opinion Bill Clinton's support on the illegal immigrant plan. You are avoiding on giving me a answer. I think you support it and not willing to write your opinions for the whole world to see.

LOL.

I know. I just think the Hispanic vote will not be as wholeheartedly Dem as Dems think. Don't have any reasons for it besides my gut. More blacks will leave the Dems over this, as they will see the Dems have a new favorite minority. STILL< in the end, Reps are shooting themselves in the foot if they think open borders is a winner. They will lose more of their base.

Welcome to the real world of electoral politics binky.

That could very well be the reason certain factions can't figure out why THEIR candidates never get any support.

[garbageseeker]

Your ducking the question.

Sure thing, buddy.

The GOP got 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2004. That is the largest percent of "minority" votes the GOP has ever received.

[rottndog]

More like gutless coward.

[Howlin]

Provocateur!!!
