*sigh* not again....
I'm sure that a handful of loonies on FR will find a way to blame Rick Perry for this too, though.
GARRRRRDDDDAAAASSSIIIIILLLL!!!
Maybe they should start checking out citizenship status on Latinos - if they want to fight, then we should bring the fight to them.
I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED that the Eric Holder DOJ might be acting in the most crass political way possible. Never could have seen that coming!
Just another round in obast@rds war on Perry, Texas, and Texans...
Texas will say FUBO to a federal power grab.
This isn’t surprising Governor Perry, and AG Greg Abbott will be all over this. It will end up at the USSC...
As William Learned Marcy said, “To the victor belong the spoils.”
All the more reason for Pennsylvania republicans to go ahead with their delegate rule change.
The census counts both legals and illegals so the congressional districts represent both legal and illegal and his illegal pets are showing just how much they appreciate his dissing the law by screwing America as a whole.
Elect Perry Prez and this Tex mess will be all over the country.
I think a strong, but tacit argument can be made that, unlike a certain other minority group, Mexican-Americans neither need nor will be assisted by ethnic gerrymandering.
1) Mexican Americans are not particularly politically monolithic, supporting both parties if not evenly, then to considerable degree. As such, both parties actively try to cultivate their support.
2) Mexican American candidates are frequently elected in mixed and even Anglo majority elections, their political party and platform being seen as far more important than their ethnic group by the public. Likewise, when elected, they rarely show any particular favoritism to their ethnic group over the public as a whole.
3) When Mexican Americans live in majority Anglo districts with Anglo leadership, they rarely if ever are discriminated against, as long as they are legal citizens. Those who are not legal citizens are not constituents of that district, so enforcement of the law against them is not in any way discriminatory.
4) If anything, Mexican Americans are assisted far more by integration than by being ghettoized. Those that live in primarily illegal Mexican and Mexican American districts are far slower to advance up the economic ladder and become prosperous than those who make an effort to be assimilated into the American culture.
5) When Mexican Americans “deeply” assimilate into American culture, their opinions, attitudes, and voting behavior mirror those of Anglo Americans. They lose all national and cultural affinity with Mexico. From that point it is discriminatory to force political affiliation with other Mexican Americans who are not so fully integrated.
Chris Adams and crew over at PJ Media have reported extensively on the utter and complete corruption of the DOJ. The most politically potent of the corrupt seem to be located in the the voting rights division.
That means an action by the evil forces in the DOJ will be coordinated with external Alinsky and Black “community organizing groups” like Acorn, the Black Panthers and the NAACP, Black Churches, social-justice college groups, and the media.
In the below excerpt links one and two are leftist hires in the Civil Rights Division Voting Section.
All ten new hires to the Justice Department's Criminal Section have far-left resumes -- which were only released following a PJMedia lawsuit. (This is the tenth of a series of articles about the Justice Department's hiring practices since President Obama took office. Read parts one , two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight, and nine.)
With Hispanic support for Obama waning, could Latino vote be up for grabs in 2012?
Couldn’t Wasserman at least look at the new redistricting plan before parroting the RAT talking points that no new Hispanic districts were drawn? Republicans drew two new Hispanic-majority districts and turned the Hispanic-majority TX-27 into a Hispanic-plurality CD (it is not like 49.5% Hispanic), meaning that there’s a net gain of one Hispanic-majority CD.
When the legislatures in New York and Illinois redraw their districts to eliminate as many Republican seats as they can, do you suppose the Obama Justice Department will take them to court as well?
Very strange. I had this drop dead beautiful Hispanic gal come to my door volunteering for Wes Riddle to replace lord dog nuts in TX District 25 today. I got really interested when she gave me his card and it had the Constitution as part of the background.
She said the LEGAL Hispanics are sick and tired of the illegals. I told her to go see our neighbor Sandra up the street, and she said “No, she is the one who told me to drop off literature in our neighborhood”.
After talking to her for quite some time, she is a stay at home mom who is sick and tired of her husband trying to pay taxes and saving enough for their kids college. What a nice surprise.
