Hispanic coalition warns against filibuster of Latina nominee

As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed Tuesday to fight GOP attempts to block any of President Barack Obama’s nominations, a national Hispanic coalition put senators on notice that the group considers confirmation of Katherine Archuleta as federal personnel chief critical. ....

Hector Sanchez, chair of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, said the bipartisan coalition of 36 major Latinos groups, sent a letter to senators saying they will closely watch the process for Archuleta’s nomination and may use it in a scorecard on members’ performances on Latino issues. ....

“We endorsed Katherine Archuleta a long time ago in the coalition. It’s very critical for us and it’s important that Congress understand an attack on Archuleta is going to be very serious,” Sanchez said.

The process she’s being put through “is sending a negative message,” he said. ....

Sanchez said Archuleta’s appointment comes at a time when Latinos represent just eight percent of the federal workforce and are 17 percent of the population. Latinos are the most underrepresented group in the federal workforce, he said.

“It is important that Republicans understand the impact their actions can have because they cannot play political games on these kinds of issues that are so important,” Sanchez said.

***Latinos are the most underrepresented group in the federal workforce, he said.***

Make no mistake. The most underrepresented group are red-blooded Americans anywhere in gov’t, business, politics, education, you name it.

There is where the crisis lies.

Yeah, but I’m still tryin’ to figure out the whole race thing. LOL! Didn’t they come from Spain? Which is in europe last time I checked. I guess since my ancestors are Dutch I can call racism on anybody that says anything derogatory about Dutch people. Right? Uh, no.

I bet you they’d have no problem with the filibuster of a latina nominee if she happened to be a conservative Christian nominated by a GOP president.

Hold yourself apart, be dealt with apart.

They define themselves by race, they are racist.

http://nationalhispanicleadership.org/about/

They are La Raza.

Do these idiots not know that the word “latino” was developed by Democrats to create a constituency?

re: “ Latinos are the most underrepresented group in the federal workforce, he said.”

Typical stupidity. Not one word why the person they support is QUALIFIED for this position - just that she’s “latina”. Lord I hate this PC crap.

She’s probably a communist is my guess.

The name Miguel Angel Estrada Castañeda comes to mind..........nominated by Bush 43 to the D.C. Circuit, the Demonrats filibustered Latino Estrada on the grounds that he was conservative and had never served as a judge.

Fast forward to the most recent addition to the US Supreme Court........leftist Elena Kagan never served as a judge, but was just fine for the Demonrats........Latino or no, it's a one way street called Demonrat Avenue........

Archuleta was the protege of corrupt Clintonista Federico Pena. She worked for Pena when, as mayor of Denver, Pena bungled the construction of Denver International airport so bad it ended up $2 billion over budget. Later Archuleta was chief of staff for Pena when Bill Clinton put him in charge of the Department of Transportation and he helped Slick Willie cover up the truth about TWA Flight 800.
