MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The nation's largest Hispanic advocacy group says it must come up with a strategy to combat "a wave of hate" its leaders say came from talk radio's efforts to sink the Senate's immigration bill.
"That had an extraordinary impact in the Senate, and as a nation, I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate," Cecilia Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's senior vice president for research, advocacy and legislation, told The Washington Times after meeting with NCLR affiliates to talk about a new strategy.
Stung by the collapse of the immigration bill in the Senate last month, NCLR leaders and members at the group's annual convention in Miami Beach, which began yesterday, say they will have to start a campaign to register and mobilize voters, to warn against crossing the line in the debate and to force lawmakers to take a clear stand on what they are willing to tolerate.
"I think we have to shine a light on it," Ms. Munoz said. "At the end of the day, we believe people need to take sides, that you can't stand on the sidelines, especially if part of what is motivating the actions of the United States Congress is not really about the public-policy debate, but is about their discomfort with Latinos."

La Raza is Spanish for “the race,” although National Council of La Raza falsely claims it means “community” on their website.
La Raza’s motto is, “Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada,” which translates to “”For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”

First I thought: Oh, great!!! Some rational hispanics are going to try to stop the illegals from invading and waving the Mexican flag when they protest, here in the USA, against the USA's immigration laws. But, no... they want to call names and label anyone against unlimited immigration a "hater."
Good Lord!!!!
“Millions of Mexicans/Hispanics have a brazen sense of entitlement, that they can bust into America, that they can jam ahead of more worthy immigrants from Asia, Europe and elsewhere who are educated English speakers, who are waiting years to come here legally”

They can stop my hate from me if they learn English....and get car insurance.
More and more Americans are learning the truth....hundreds of communities are being destroyed from Boston to SF. Don’t rule out a revolution, either.
That's exactly what we did. Worked out well, didn't it?
Also, we HATE people who break our laws.
La Raza is evil.
CAIR is evil.
:)
They could start to stop this ‘wave of hate’ by telling all of the illegal hispanics to go back to their home countries, as it’s ruining it for the legal hispanic immigrants here.
Mexican aliens seek to retake 'stolen' land

DENVER -- La reconquista, a radical movement calling for Mexico to "reconquer" America's Southwest, has stepped out of the shadows at recent immigration-reform protests nationwide as marchers held signs saying, "Uncle Sam Stole Our Land!" and waved Mexico's flag. Even as organizers urged marchers to display U.S. flags, the theme of reclaiming "stolen" land remained strong.
One popular banner read: "If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history because I'm in my homeland." "We need to change direction," said Jose Lugo, an instructor in Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder at a campus march last week. "And by allowing these 50,000, 50 million [immigrants] to come in here, we can do that."
The revolutionary tone has surprised even longtime immigration watchers such as Ira Mehlman, the Los Angeles-based spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "I've always been skeptical myself about this [reconquista], but what I've seen over the last few weeks leads me to believe that there's more there than I thought," Mr. Mehlman said. "You're seeing people marching with Mexican flags chanting, 'This is our country.' I don't think that we can dismiss this as youthful exuberance or a bunch of hotheads," he said.
Hispanic rights leaders insist there's nothing to the so-called reconquista, sometimes referred to as Aztlan, the mythical ancestral homeland of the Aztecs that reportedly stretches from the border to southern Oregon and Colorado.
At the same time, some analysts say the seismic demographic shifts brought on by unchecked border crossings and birth rates are resulting in a de facto reconquista. "Demographically, socially and culturally, the reconquista of the Southwest United States by Mexico is well under way," Harvard University professor Samuel P. Huntington said in 2004. "No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans can and do make that claim," he said.
A three-minute videotape made by the Immigration Watchdog Web site plays speeches by Hispanic professors and elected officials making references to Aztlan and the idea of a demographic takeover. "We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It's a matter of time. The explosion is in our population," Jose Angel Gutierrez, political science professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, said on the videotape.
In an interview, Mr. Gutierrez said there was "no viable" reconquista movement. He blamed interest in the issue on closed-border groups and "right-wing blogs" such as American Patrol and L.A. Watchdog, but those Web sites are getting plenty of ammunition from groups like La Voz de Aztlan, a Whittier, Calif.-based news service that advocates a separatist state while criticizing Jews and "gringos."
Then there's the Mexica Movement, which wants to "reconstruct" the United States as an "indigenous" nation called Anahuac. Professor Charles Truxillo of the University of New Mexico envisions a sovereign Hispanic nation called the Republica del Norte that would encompass Northern Mexico, Baja California, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
MEChA, an acronym for the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, has come under fire for revolutionary language in its "El Plan de Aztlan," a founding document that declares "the independence of our mestizo nation," decries the "brutal gringo invasion," and says that land "rightfully ours will be fought for and defended."
What's notable about MEChA is its otherwise mainstream image. Most Hispanic leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, belonged to MEChA in high school or college. Former Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante came under fire from conservatives for refusing to renounce his membership during the 2003 gubernatorial race. Federico Rangel, a University of Colorado graduate student and MEChA officer, said most students view Aztlan as part of their history, not as a rallying cry for revolution.
"Aztlan isn't what people say it is, like the reconquista," said Mr. Rangel, who carried a MEChA sign at Monday's rally. "It's a spiritual homeland to Chicanos." ####

Yet another loud-mouthed, useful leftist race-baiting idiot, out to smear all loyal Americans who love their country
this one courtesy of the radical leftist America -hating George Soros funded 'LA RAZA'
The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Research Institute is a Soros recipient. And they've actually defended suicide bombers. And I've got this in my book. And how he funds La Raza, the race, the open borders advocacy group.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268045,00.html
"...in addition to creating MALDEF and [the National Council of] La Raza, [the Ford Foundation] funded numerous other Hispanic advocacy groups, such as the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and the Latino Institute."http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/MALDEF-LA_RAZA-Hymowitz.html
Cecilia Munoz, VP of the National Council of La Raza. La Raza means The Race. It is a racist organization that promotes anti-white, anti-American, pro-open borders causes. It is funded by several foundations. Listed on the Discover the Networks.org are several foundation donors. Among them are:
American Express Foundation, A T & T Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Verizon Foundation. Between 2001 and 2003, the Ford Foundation gave La Raza about $9.83 million, with one grant alone totaling $8.05 million.http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=25752
Hey La Raza, here’s your solution:
Join us in strengthening and enforcing the immigration laws, the borders (including deportations), fighting terrorism, and abolishing laws to support/subsidize illegals . .
then whatever “hate” you perceive is out there, will go away.
Pronto.
Since when was rural Montana a part of Mexico?
"Because I'm in my HOMELAND"
Infuriating. Let Mexico go to war with us if they want their "homeland" back.

CAIR is evil.”
