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.”

Wrong guy.

Felix is the guy who caught Che Guevara down in Chile, he also tried shooting Fidel with the guy from Brothers to the Rescue.

Cool dude...did a few tours in Vietnam.

The problem is the entitlements, abusing them is natural

Getting freebies to get you up to the average standard of living in those places, I don't think would cut it for you. I suggest you stick with getting subsidized in the US.

Many of the elite class like Vicente Fox would love white boys because they have as much issues about skin color as this country. What you should ask if they'd want black people coming into their country. Well we know the answer that already. Just look at the DR army did to the Haitians at the border.

[ApesForEvolution]

Are you a fan of Alberto's?

[Torie]

Asians are pushing close to 40% of the student body in the university system (the real universties, not the ersatz ones) in California. What do you think about that?

[Squealer]

One can plainly see this discrimination of European-Americans in the fact that European-Americans make up 83% of the student body at U of M.

How about that! Even with European-Americans being held back w/ affirmative action and "diversity" programs we're still on top. That says alot about us, don't you think? Do you have a problem with 83% of the student body at U of M being White? I don't have a problem with Universities in Mexico being filled with Mexicans. I suspect that Universities in Japan are dominated by Japanese. For some reason it's only racist and evil when Whites are the majority - anywhere.

[Luis Gonzalez]

He's pro-SEcond Amendment, and a strict constructionist.

That seems to be not good enough for the hoi polloi however.

I agree with you here.

[ApesForEvolution]

WoW.

Are you getting a "Luis" tatoo also? lol

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Do you have a problem with 83% of the student body at U of M being White? I don't have a problem with Universities in Mexico being filled with Mexicans."

Your statement insinuates that only whites are Americans.

What an a$$hole.

[ApesForEvolution]

Tell me more...

[Luis Gonzalez]

They've made quite a comeback since the internment camp days?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Find out for yourself.

[cyborg]

LOL sorry I had to laugh at the part about European-Americans being held back.

[ApesForEvolution]

All internments camps are not created equal...

[Squealer]

Many of the elite class like Vicente Fox would love white boys because they have as much issues about skin color as this country.

I can't complain here. It's all about skin color in America... affirmative action, forced diversity and other programs that include everyone except Whitey. I wonder how much longer Whitey can take it.

[Squealer]

WoW.

Are you getting a "Luis" tatoo also? lol

I love luis!

[Torie]

It's the Chinese "invasion" Luis. Those chaps simply work too hard, and that's un-American. It also squeezes the slots for the lower performing groups, and well, puts pressue on the whole PC edifice. But it is an issue that will gain traction over time, like it or not.

Get a grip on yourself. Stop whining. White men who whine about being oppressed is about as enjoyable as black victicrats doing the same.
