My point in #31 had to do with the need to have a solid link between these organizations before making strong public statements. I was specifically thinking of Trump and the judge, although I didn’t make that clear.
As far as I know, Trump has only mentioned that Curiel is Mexican and so he may be biased against Trump. In my opinion he needs to let the current tut-tutting settle a little bit, then let another shoe drop, namely to tie the judge to extremist hispanic groups promoting illegal immigration. That would be NCLR.
But he has to do it in a way that cannot be contradicted in any way. I think it was Ray76 who came up with the needed link: the president of San Diego La Raza Lawyers is also on the board of NCLR. This is what Trump needs to tweet. “Judge Coriel is a member of SDLRL, under shared governance with NCLR, and extremist organization that promotes illegal immigration and Reconquista, i.e. ‘Make America Mexico Again’”
As far as I know NCLR doesn’t propose Reconquista directly, but they provide cover for MeCHa, a group that does. So, if the left comes gunning for Trump, they open the can of worms that is MeCHa, a group that probably 90% of Americans have never heard of. Now they will know.
Does that give you any sense of why I was concerned about throwing around words without facts needed for maximum impact?
Mario Obledo, MALDEFs general Counsel, Cruz Reynoso, the Executive Director the California Rural Legal Assistance at that time, and Luis Garcia, a lawyer in private practice in San Francisco, together founded La Raza Lawyers in 1971. The Association found its first home at the MALDEF offices. From there, our founders began to recruit attorneys from San Francisco, the Bay Area, the State of California, and across the nation. Within a few years the La Raza Lawyers Association had become a national organization. Today, the national organization is known as the National Hispanic Bar Association, headquartered in Washington, D. C.
