Rove to La Raza: Immigrants key, contribute much

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1664455/posts

"Everything that this country is, everything that we have achieved, everything that we hold, everything that we promise, is because we are a nation of diversity, brought together by immigration, and sharing a common dream," Rove told members of the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights group, the National Council of La Raza, gathered in Los Angeles.

Rove's appearance before La Raza comes at a time when both political parties are vigorously courting Hispanics, the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population and a key voting bloc that could determine whether Republicans maintain control of Congress.

President George W. Bush has urged Republicans to broaden the party's appeal, but the GOP's divisions over immigration reform threaten the effort with Hispanics.

Are you trying to say you think La Raza members make good Republicans?

I'm all for recruiting Legal Immigrants, hispanic and otherwise, into the GOP.
But to court this radical group is disgusting. Shame on Karl and shame on Arnold.

BTW, weren't you one of the ones blasting Cruz Bustamante for his La Raza and Mecha affiliation?
