90 kids gonna live off the revenue generated by a 523 acre farm...lol...my ass unless it's a marijuana plantation
ridiculous...guess who first spoiled minorities with promised handouts?
not who u think.
Since 2000, the family has been among 110 Mexican American farmers nationwide suing the Agriculture Department and its Farm Service Agency, alleging systematic discrimination in farm credit loan programs, disaster relief loans and noncredit benefit programs.
Though the farmers were denied a class-action designation, their lawyers hope to reverse that decision and negotiate a settlement on their behalf that will erase their debt and allow them to rebuild their family farms.
Next week, a court in Washington, D.C., will review the status of the case.
Garcia vs. Vilsack, of which the Rodriguezes are a part of, mirrors Pigford vs. Glickman, which was waged and won by African American farmers. It was settled in the late 1990s for $2.2 billion, and this year the Obama administration allocated an additional $1.2 billion to its fund.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said he’s committed to eradicating discrimination in his department, once described in a government report as “the last plantation” and perceived as part of “a conspiracy to force minority and socially disadvantaged farmers off their land through discriminatory loan practices.”
The Rodriguez Brothers’ lawyers — Stephen Hill of Howrey LLP, former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former federal Judge Eugene Sullivan — describe the treatment their clients faced as “institutional racism.” They use words such as blatant, insidious and deep-seeded.
“When President Obama said he was allocating an additional $1.2 billion to resolve the claims of black farmers who missed the filing deadline, he said he was closing a chapter on the ugly history of the USDA,” Hill said. “I submit the USDA needs to close the entire book, and the only way to do that is to resolve the claims of victims that suffered the same discrimination at the hands of USDA.”

So it was settled but Obama decided to give them more and now the hispanics need theirs. So whites are never discriminated against in this “colored blind” world called America. What a load of crap.
