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.

Fox called it an "advocacy" group.

[garbageseeker]

Why did they call it an "advocacy" group. La Raza is more of a militant group. Anyway,Fox News mentioned it. Maybe, Rove can apologize to the people at the meeting calling Hispanics "brown people

I saw it on Lou Dobbs show yesterday afternoon, I imagine he'll have excerpts of Rove today.

"Fox called it an "advocacy" group."

yep...more "pc"
Rove & the Bush Administration are more concerned with illegals than Americans, enforcing the immigration laws and securing our ports & borders...
nothing new here.

2008 won't come soon enough

[Arizona Carolyn]

Lou Dobbs had video of him speaking -- I got nauseous.

[garbageseeker]

I will be waiting for that. I cannot wait what Lou Dobbs will say about Rove's visit to "La Raza". Lou Dobbs should be congratulated for covering the illegal immigration issue.

[Arizona Carolyn]

advocacy????? What rock are they sitting under?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Many right here denigrate him for it -- and his warning about the voting machines, too.

[garbageseeker]

I was yelling at my television set for the reporter to stop calling La Raza "advocacy" group. They are a anti-American militant group.

[garbageseeker]

I think the rock hit the reporter.

[jmc813]

I'm sensing sexual tension between you two.

[rottndog]

"...but what's his plan to FIX the border?"

A guest worker program.

What's so hard to understand about that?


Boy, you Bushbots can slither out of almost anything.

Border Security and Immigration Policy are two mutually exclusive subjects. For the purpose of this discussion, leave Immigration Policy (Guest Worker, Temporary Worker, Non-Amnesty Amnesty, Whatever you want to call it) out. Let's stick with BORDER SECURITY.

What is Bush's plan to PHYSICALLY secure the BORDER, such that those who will ignore the afore mentioned Immigration Laws (new or existing) will not be able to ILLEGALLY cross our sovereign BORDERS at will?

"I was yelling at my television set for the reporter to stop calling La Raza "advocacy" group. They are a anti-American militant group."

yea, well these people are just reading a teleprompter.

we need to address our outrage to Brit Hume...
whatever good that would do. LOL

if you think of it, let me know what Lou Dobbs has to say and if he has a video of the Rove appearance.

[Kimberly GG]

And I'll bet Lou Dobbs won't call it an 'advocacy group'.

There are many many big businesses represented on LA Raza's board of directors. I can't imagine that any of them would be associated with the KKK, but I think that first Clinton and now Bush have rallied around the Hispanic groups and, as a result, 'legitimized' them, regardless of what they represent. How they can ignore it or expect us to is beyond me.

[SealSeven]

If I was a Hispanic person, I would be very offended by that statement.

Remember, not all hispanics are brown.

[EternalVigilance]

Somehow that sounds like just blacks would benefit, not "all Americans".

I guess you're just not informed then. Keyes has supported the an end to the federal income tax for years.

[garbageseeker]

yea, well these people are just reading a teleprompter.

It seemed that the Fox reporter was giving a prepared speech. It was almost like he was reading from a talking points. There was no questions asked to the on site reporter. It was very cut and dry.

you think of it, let me know what Lou Dobbs has to say and if he has a video of the Rove appearance.

I will let you know what Lou Dobbs has to say about Karl Rove making the deal to the La Raza devil.

[garbageseeker]

Its still a very racist and elitist statement Karl Rove made. He thinks that all Hispanics are "brown people".
