"No more illegal alien apologist from Texas. We have one too many"

Let's see...

These guys have no clue on where he stands on the issue, but you are calling him an "illegal alien apologist" simply based on his surname and ethnicity...

You just keep proving me right about you.

MALDEF(Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) Responds to Likely Nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to the Position of Attorney General

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 10, 2004

Rachel Estrada
(202) 293-2828, ext. 19

(Washington, D.C.) MALDEF, the nation's premier Latino civil rights organization, released a statement today regarding the likely nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to the Cabinet post of Attorney General. Below is the statement released today by Ann Marie Tallman, MALDEF President and General Counsel.

"If confirmed as Attorney General, The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales would be the first Latino to hold this important Cabinet position. MALDEF is encouraged by President Bush's interest in making this historic appointment, however, MALDEF believes it is important to evaluate each candidate in their totality, regardless of race or ethnicity.

We are currently proceeding with a comprehensive evaluation of Judge Gonzales' record. More information will be made available during the confirmation process that will further inform the public about Mr. Gonzales' views and positions on key civil liberties and civil rights issues.

MALDEF's core mission is to protect and promote the civil rights for the over 40 million Latinos living in the United States. We are profoundly concerned about all aspects of the Attorney General's responsibilities, not only its enforcement and prosecutorial duties but also important due process questions, including right to counsel.

"It has yet to be seen whether or not Gonzales would be the best fit for our community but we are encouraged by this development," said MALDEF President and General Counsel Ann Marie Tallman.

You should try judging people on their merits Joey.

So, if a person isn't a Latino, then MALDEF wants nothing to do with them. Sounds kind of racist to me.

That's funny considering you support a racist Mexican who judges people by ethnicity rather than merit.

Viva La Raza!

Viva Affirmative Action!
