La Raza and Americans
The Washington Times ^ | May 31, 2007 | Jim Simpson

Posted on 05/31/2007 3:19:04 AM PDT by Baladas

A recent proposal in Congress — H.R. 1999, which was cosponsored in April by Reps. Ruben Hinojosa of Texas and Rick Renzi of Arizona — would provide $10 million a year to a radical immigration group, the National Council of La Raza (meaning "the race").

It gets better. Have you heard of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, better known by its acronym MEChA? If you live in California, you have. This group's Web site states: "We are Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlan reclaiming the land of out birth," which according to their revisionist history, includes areas of the Southwestern United States.

In its answer to critics' charges of support for this radical separatist group, La Raza explains that MEChA is really just a "student organization whose primary objectives are educational" and that their founding charter's radical goals don't matter. To make its pathetic case, the group cites, of all things, a passage from a Los Angeles Times article by one Gustavo Arellano that "few [MEChA] members take these dated relics of the 1960s seriously, if they even bothered to read them."

So we're supposed to take the word of an LA Times reporter as an answer to this serious charge? The first page of MEChA's Web site states in bold print "The following documents are essential to the philosophy of MEChA. Every MEChista should be familiar with them," One of these, the MEChA "Constitution" states in its preamble: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlan must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza [race] with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan (emphasis mine)." Can't see how members would ignore that.

So much for moderation.

There can't be enough exposure of La Raza and its radical agenda, they're worse than CAIR, they've inflitrated both parties and are about to do enormous damage on this country.

With modern technology it should be possible to build a big enough catapault to heave their hineys back into mexico in groups of ten.

“few [MEChA] members take these dated relics of the 1960s seriously, if they even bothered to read them.”

No one thought Hitler was serious about exterminating the Jews, either.

“’For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”

Would fit Nazi Germany in 1941 perfectly.

La Raza: Is George Bush a member?

Alberto Gonzales was on the board of an affiliate, and La Raza was a big backer of his nomination.

Why is Rick Renzi doing this? Gosh, these people are blind. I think all of these congress people should live at home and on the border (if they live in a border state). They are so out of touch with what is going on it is sickening.

The nice thing is, right now, it's being used by Fatah to kill Hamas. Iran, in turn, sends military aid to Hamas to kill Fatah. Israel can stand by on the sidelines, and watch its enemies self-destruct.

(re MECHA) This group's Web site states: "We are Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlan reclaiming the land of out birth," which according to their revisionist history, includes areas of the Southwestern United States.

If it is on the website then it isn't the belief of "a few members" it is still the MODERN policy. And if you've seen the various protest banners, the protestors in the streets are quite clear about wanting to initiate a civil war/intifada to secede the Southwest from Estado Unidos to declare it a separate "reclaimed" entity.
