La Raza Wins Big With Immigration Reform Bill
Political Realities ^ | 07/23/13 | LD Jackson

Posted on 07/23/2013 4:46:25 AM PDT by LD Jackson

La RazaWe have heard a lot about the new immigration bill that has cleared the Senate and is now with the House of Representatives. I have written some about the bill, but not nearly as extensive as other bloggers and reporters. Having said that, it seems clear to me that we are in the process of having another massive piece of legislation shoved down our throats. The most notable time that happened was with Obamacare and we can all see how that is working out. Layer upon layer of bureaucratic regulation that does nothing but add burdens of cost to the American people. The current monstrosity the House may be taking up from the Senate is no better.

More and more, I am having a problem with the way our Congress is working. They seem to be think that the only kind of legislation they should pass is the kind made up of many, many pages of legal jargon and regulations. Nothing simple is contained therein. The current draft of immigration reform is just such a bill. Instead of reforming our immigration system, it provides a slush fund for La Raza (not specifically, but very likely) and for other groups that advocate for illegal immigrants. Rather than reforming our immigration system in a way that will help America, it seems to be aimed more at helping illegal immigrants escape the legal system. I'm not kidding! Some of the provisions contained in the bill just can not be made up. Hat tip to Doug Ross. The article originally came from Investor's Business Daily.

Ricochet - The 1,100-page proposal is a network of legal requirements and protections, waivers and exceptions, including a new "provisional immigrant" status (the first phase of legalization for illegals), appeals of adverse rulings, stays of deportation, applications for work visas, and countless other such guarantees.

Within this thicket of new rights are features that would vastly increase the flow of immigrants to perhaps 30 million or 40 million over the next decade. One is a set of "chain immigration" clauses, legalizing the spouses and children of illegals.

Another is the Dream Act, fast-tracking legal status for aliens of any age who came here before they were 16 (how this would be proved is not clear). A third is a "blue card" temporary visa that could be converted to permanent status and used by future illegals to get legal in a hurry.

Of course, a Spanish-speaking immigrant would likely know nothing of this maze of loopholes, benefits and protections and would on his own be unable to exploit them. So the bill sets up a fund of $50 million to aid illegals seeking "provisional" status, filing appeals, blocking efforts at deportation, obtaining naturalization, and so on.

No, the groups mentioned in the bill are not specifically named, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that La Raza and other organizations that advocate for illegal immigrants will be at the front of the line and at the top of the list to receive their portion of the $50 million fund that is being set up.
Foremost among such groups is the National Council of La Raza (meaning "the race," or alternatively, "the people"), a group that opposes current U.S. immigration laws, defends illegals, and long promoted amnesty measures. It's also an organization with significant leverage at the Obama White House and its former senior executive helped draft the Senate bill.

La Raza is already a recipient of federal grants and contracts — running at $8 million to $10 million per year — and would arguably be at the head of the line to receive new funding.

A second, allied group, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, says it receives no federal money but would likely qualify for subsidies under this legislation.

You should read the rest of what is contained in the immigration reform bill. Whereas it is now a federal crime to forge a passport, the bill changes that to give forgers three chances. The first two times they forge a passport is on the house. The bill makes only the third forgery a crime. The same applies to drunk driving. Two prior convictions of drinking and driving doesn't count before the third offense possibly disqualifies an illegal immigrant for citizenship.

Again, read what is in the immigration reform bill. Anyone who does and still makes the claim that the bill is tough on enforcement of our immigration laws has to be smoking something illegal. By no stretch of the imagination does this legislation strengthen enforcement. If anything, it does exactly the opposite.

For several weeks, I have heard advertisements on the radio, touting the immigration bill and how Paul Ryan and other representatives are backing the measure. It makes the claim that these representatives want to reform our immigration system in a common sense, conservative way. After reading the little I have read about this bill, I call hogwash on that claim. They are trying to force feed us again, this time with a bill that has been written with the express purpose of helping illegal immigrants and the special interest groups that advocate for them.

"More and more, I am having a problem with the way our Congress is working."

Welcome to my feelings! Although I perfected those about 25 years ago. This governance is so far removed from the Founders established, one could vomit.

The real cost is not dollars and cents although that will be heavy, the real cost is our national identity and the destruction of white Western values and people. Is there ANY politician that will stand up for that?

Didn’t Michelle make a speech at La Raza a little while ago?

Why is our government sending money to a group that wants to separate our States and return them to Mexico?

On the surface that would seem crazy. Under the surface it seems crazy too, but anything to buy the Hispanic vote.

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States.

Do you Rubio and other congressional morons who vote for this Amnesty bill realize that 30 million amnestied illegals and their family back home (50 million more) will vote in democrats/socialism to turn the USA into a socialist/communist state?

Hey morons, immigrants , democrats and anyone for this Amnesty bill: communism is no fun and results in extreme poverty for 99% of the population and people are virtual slaves in a dictatorship. think N. Korea or Cuba . that is what you immigrants are doing to America.

what happened to Venezuela will happen 100 times worse here. it’s because democrats are hard core communists, all of them are(pelosi, Reid,Obama et al). they are importing untold millions of democrat voters that will allow them to rule with an iron fist. so 3rd world scum that invade the U.S.A looking to make more money will enable the democrats to turn the USA into a WORSE place than they left.

Rubio, Ryan ,Democrats, Bush? do you realize that? I know democrats want that as that is their goal to advance progressive policies and install a socialist/communist state.

do you Bush, democrats,Ryan , rubio realize that you are for communism?

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3036438/posts

call congress . no bill at all from the House

and of course boner must not bring the Senate bill for the House to vote on. no senate bill, no border security bill from the House .nothing

Yes. KILL THE BILL!!

No immigration bill. Period.

The Senate will amend any bill, remove / weaken border protection and place amnesty at the top of the list.

Any amnesty for illegals bill will not die under its own weight without bring the rest of the country down with it.

La Raza’s Woman Inside / July 6, 201 / By G. Perry /FR POSTED

EDITED.....over and above the Senate's multi-million dollar slush funds, federal funding for the National Council of La Raza has increased almost threefold since Cecilia Munoz, a former La Raza official, was appointed to a top US govt position by Obama.

Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton uncovered the connections between La Raza and the White house, and congressional and administration figures. Even though the increased funding for this distasteful, divisive organization came about as a result of congressional action, Munoz’s position inside the admin is pivotal to this discussion.

Munoz serves as the liaison between the White House and local authorities, a post from which she’s able to coordinate campaigns to enact the open borders lobby’s wish list, including amnesty and the DREAM Act. Judicial Watch exposes the continued theft of our tax dollars for the purpose of bankrolling an organization whose goals are antithetical to those of American citizens.

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

The Senate immigration bill includes two “slush funds” amounting to hundreds of millions of tax dollars that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come, earmarked for non-profit organizations such as the blood-thirsty La Raza.

LA RAZA TEACHING 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).

America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re- take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASES Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress. Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.

Raul and friend.

AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING THIS 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. A selection:

Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Los Angeles)

Atzlan Academy (Tucson, AZ)

Mexicayotl Academy (Nogales, AZ)

The Dolores Huerta Prepatory High School (Pueblo, CO)

Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School (St. Paul, MN)

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

Freshman US Cong Joaquín Castro (Dem-Texas) warned that, if Speaker Boehner adheres to his promise to invoke the so-called Hastert rule, the House will not pass comprehensive immigration reform this year.

So I guess that will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's plans for America.

Joaquin's TWIN BROTHER is San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro---2012 Dem convention keynoter... where he genially introduced their mother. Maria “Rosie” Castro.

Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric anti-assimilationist, a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty tax-funded “La Raza."

The super-secretive criminal latino underworld is infesting the US political system. The collusive tight-knit coterie of conspiratorial political operatives have one goal----to loot the public treasury, and act as a pressure group to advance the Third World's ambitions.

"Citizenship" is the latino word for "pressure group." Citizenship and welfare benefits are a small part of amnesty---get ready for zillions in foreign aid and other federal handouts.

LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS--- THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.

There needs to be investigations on several fronts. Clearly, The Gang of Eight is getting their marching orders from Third World's organized latino pressure groups inside the US.

OMINOUS SILENCE Conspicuously silent is the tax-funded "Congressional Hispanic Caucus" on Capitol Hill, "Voto Latino," the numerous tax-funded "Hispanic Federations," the tax-funded blood thirsty "La Raza," as well as countless "latino legal rights" groups.

La Raza is a race baiting organization already funded with million of our tax dollars....agitating for more Third World immigration, and endless US tax-funded social services to illegals.

THE FIFTH COLUMN Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee(ALIPAC), LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Obama appointee and La Raza lobbyist Cecilia Munoz, El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, La Mecha, La Raza, Los Angeles, Mecha, Mexifornia, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, National Council of La Raza, Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund.....etc, etc, etc.
