Washington, DC The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., today welcomed President Bushs nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to succeed John Ashcroft as Attorney General. If confirmed, Gonzales would be the first Hispanic ever to serve as Attorney General.
We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination. 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 Presidents reelection both rectifies that situation and marks an historic milestone for the Latino community. Never before has an Hispanic served as head of one of the four major cabinet posts Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense, and Attorney General, stated Janet Murguia, NCLR Executive Director and COO.
Murguia also noted Gonzales ties to the Hispanic community throughout his career. Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLRs oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) in Houston, Texas. 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, added Murguia.
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.

You're exposing your true feelings. You're supposed to say you only oppose ILLEGAL Mexicans, not all Americans of Hispanic ancestry.
I'm not trying to be mean, but I really don't care what La Raza says or thinks. He'll make a good Attoney General because of his intellect. Period.
Nevermind that La Raza is nothing but the Mexican version of the KKK.
I wonder if you'd be so sanguine about this if a nominee for AG was endorsed by the KKK. That's all the "La Raza" cretins are; just a Mexican version of the Klan.
Ha! This is great. These guys are now pro-Bush. The libs cannot attack Gonzalez's nomination without pushing their very own 'splinter group' away. hahahah.
Just consider this another GWB step towards the Mexicanization of America against the wishes of the American people.
Great?
It's OK with me as long as the Attorney Generalship isn't a step toward putting Gonzalez on the Supreme Court. That would be totally unacceptable. Four years as Attorney General would be fine. But we don't need more pro-aborts on the court.
Before you know it, the Bushes will be marrying hispanics of Mexican origin.
The next George Bush might even be hispanic! /sarcasm
No one in the KKK will be selected under Bush so there is nothing to answer.
So it's okay with you that the Mexican version of the KKK has endorsed Gonzalez.
You think "La Raza" ain't a racist hate group? Look up what "La Raza" translates to, pal. Then look into the racism they champion against whites and non-Liberal Hispanics.
So true... why do we waste our time arguing about Alberto's ethnic origin? What counts is his ability to get the job done.
His intellect? What about his ideas? A lot of people with bad ideas have "intellect."
If part of his "job" is enforcing his philosophy which favors diversity over merit in college admission, I would hope that he never gets it "done."
For Those of 'THE RACE'...EVERYTHING....For Those NOT of 'THE RACE' ........NOTHING......
What does he stand for?...what does he believe?....what has he done in the past?
What will he do in the present and future?... and how will he do it?...
Does he believe that the first and second amendments are collective rights or individual ones?
It does not matter that La Raza approves of him....the question should be...does he approve of La Raza?
imo
LOL!!!! NOW I see what youre getting at! You didnt understand my statement. What Im saying is that La Raza is so irrelevant to me, because they are such a crazy bunch. I dont care what they say or do because they are a bunch of loonies. Do you read me now?
Hold on... Has Alberto's mind been polluted by the virus of reverse racism? Any source to back up your statement?
