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 Bush’s 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 President’s 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 NCLR’s 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.”
I'll say the same to you, either discuss the issues, or go away.
Nothing I said had anything to do with Presidente Fox, but it does have a whole lot to do with the American economy.
Are you reading my posts or something? That is "my" word for the day. :)
Sorry counselor, I came up with that all by myself.
Someone must have opened the monkey cage at the Zoo.
There was no restriction on immigration from Mexico into the US until 1964. Until then, the border was open, legally. Isn't that amazing? You see, fashioning good public policy is a rather complex matter. It takes a certain, je ne sai qua.
Igoramus...Gonzales supported the State University's right to set up admission standards according to their own criteria, rather than according to the wishes of the Feds.
WR learned American history from reading "Classics Illustrated".
"very dangerous little white devil"
I'm not Cuban but nearly all I've known here including some 2506ers are as white as me.

I've seen your pic. You don't look little to me next to that little crumb cruncher.
I expect the chief executive to participate in the discussion.
Not "foster" it with some crackpot amnesty scheme.
"I'll say the same to you, either discuss the issues, or go away."
Ok Luis.. I never asked you to go away. Are you mad?
Please accept my apologies if I said something to offend you.
Your statement was used by Fox as well, Luis. It doesn't hold water.
However, I will oblige you and cease and desist from any further comment to you on this thread.
Perhaps we will agree on a different subject in the future here on FR but if we don't, I won't be asking you to go away.
I can guarantee you that.

"their totally crazed temperment is very apparent."

My statement came straight from a US government study on population, and government spending.
Perhaps Fox keeps up with our policies and issues better than you do.
Very close!
