White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, President Bush's nominee for attorney general, got the backing of a group that promotes driver's licenses for illegal aliens, no immigration law enforcement by local and state police and amnesty programs broader than the administration's proposal.

The National Council of La Raza, which bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., welcomed the nomination of Gonzales to succeed John Ashcroft.

"We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination," said the glowing endorsement by La Raza. "We previously criticized the Bush administration for not having an Hispanic in the cabinet since the departure of former HUD Secretary, now Senator-elect, Mel Martinez. We are pleased that one of the first acts since the president’s re-election both rectifies that situation and marks an historic milestone for the Latino community. Never before has a Hispanic served as head of one of the four major Cabinet posts – secretary of State, Treasury, Defense and attorney general," said Janet Murguia, NCLR executive director and chief operating officer.

But it wasn't just the historical breakthrough that thrilled La Raza. It was also the fact that he is one of their own.

"Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLR’s oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans in Houston, Texas," she said. "Moreover, during his tenure as White House counsel, he has been one of the most accessible members of the White House staff to NCLR and other Hispanic organizations."

Murguia concluded, "We acknowledge that this is the first step of a long confirmation process that requires that his record be fully examined. That being said, Gonzales is a thoughtful, reasonable public servant, a man of his word, and we have every expectation that his nomination will be very well received in the Latino community."

La Raza supports legislation such as the Civil Liberties Restoration Act, which would roll back policies adopted after Sept. 11 designed to protect national security. It supports the "DREAM Act," which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens – thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.

The group opposes the "Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal Act of 2003" and the "Homeland Security Enhancement Act" would give state and local police officers the authority to enforce federal immigration laws.

"While the safety and security of our communities and our country are of the utmost importance, new policies that would allow local police departments to enforce federal civil immigration law will hinder terrorist and other criminal investigations, and have a serious negative impact on Latino communities," La Raza explains.

The group also supports legislation to ensure illegal immigrants' ability to obtain driver's licenses.

The National Council of La Raza...

...which is nothing more than a Hispanic version of the KKK.

We gotta get over this white Liberal crap that claims that only whites are racist, people. If you want a real object lesson in racism, check out these La Raza jackasses. Their racist ideology would make a Klansman blush.

I'm glad I trusted my intuition when I chose "undecided" on the freep poll.. Now that I'm decided, can I change my vote to NO?

[Ruth A.]

Doesn't bode well.

Is he an active member or is this radical group just claiming him?

Quoting from the article:
"We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination," said the glowing endorsement by La Raza."

When a racist outfit like La Raza gives a glowing endorsement, it really doesn't matter which came first.

Is La Raza just thrilled spitless that there is SOME Hispanic in the limelight now ... or is there something they know that we don't?

[nj26]

Gonzales is a member of the AAMA, which is loosely affiliated with La Raza, as I understand it. That being said, although the AAMA claims to be an organization to advocate educational advancement among Mexican-Americans, it functions as an amnesty advocacy group in practicality.

La Raza, though, is a step further, and is a racist organization which has advocated "reconquista" policies (in other words, Anglos get the hell out of California and Texas.)

Viva Jorge!

And what if John Ashcroft had been a member of a pressure group called The Race?

[Netizen]

Not good, not good at all.

I thought one of the good things about having a Hispanic in the AG position would be that most Hispanics I know want the borders shut down. They are harsher on immigration than us white folk. The exception to this is the LaRaza Jesse Jackson type nutcases that want to make Texas part of their Aztlan nation:

If Alberto Gonzales is in any way associated with LaRaza he has no business being AG.

Another thing. Mark my words. One of the biggest security threats we have is the Hispanic gangs hooking up with the IslamoNazis and then doing the Moslems dirty work for them. The Hispanic gangs will do anything for money. Kill anyone for money. Imagine when we are not looking for the bad guys that are Arab but instead are Mexican. This is a serious concern to law enforcement and the military.

Bush should have shut the borders down on 9/12. All the terrorists need is a MANPAD which can be thrown in a trunk of a car and 20 seconds. The kill zone is anywhere within 40 miles of an airport. For example, I don't think TWA 800 fell out of the sky because of some fuel tank problem. It was a MANPAD.

I hadn't voted on that question until a couple of minutes ago after I read this story. Needless to say, I voted NO.

I think everyone is overreacting to this. The guy will have a record, and he better break it out now and show that the basis of the endorsement from these La Raza nut cases is solely based on his being Hispanic.

Why don't we just wait and see?

[ovrtaxt]

Right on. I'm of Spanish descent, so these people sent me an invitation a few years back. Absolutely racist. I have doubts about anyone, US Attorney General or not, who has joined this group. There's no mystery going in, as to what they are all about.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Gonzales will do his job or find himself in the unemployment line. La Raza is one of the malcontent racists orgainizations like the NOI, KKK, AML, NAACP and the NSWPP. President Bush will not tolerate radicals in his cabinet, unlike klintoon. I say let's give the man a chance and view his work performance in action.

I think everyone is overreacting to this.

Free Republic's resident conspiracy nutcases have been crawling out of the woodwork since the election.

It doesn't matter what Gonzales has actually done in his life. If he belongs to any Hispanic group (it could be the Catholic Cursillo Movement) he'll be accused of disloyalty to the United States.

Read this thread closely. You'll see these names on every thread that trashes the Bush administration.
