OK, this may explain why the border remains open and uncontrolled.
-Bruce Attorney General Thanks La Raza Militants by William F. Jasper March 22, 2005 http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_1034.shtml Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush’s newly confirmed replacement for John Ashcroft as U.S. attorney general, was partying with some comrades on March 8. "I … have this organization to thank for support of my nomination for attorney general," Gonzales said in his address at an awards ceremony of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a militant subversive organization with which he has been affiliated for many years. The NCLR, more commonly known as La Raza (“The Race,” meaning those of Mexican descent), credits Gonzales, a former Texas Supreme Court judge, with moving George W. Bush into the “progressive” line on key issues. “Many people were not aware of Judge Gonzales’ long history with our affiliates in Texas, and moving then-Governor Bush to the right posture, from our perspective on key civil rights issues, like anti-English only requirements, like anti-immigrant ballot initiatives, bilingual education and affirmative action,” Cecilia Muñoz, vice president for policy at La Raza, told The Washington Post. “Although La Raza supported Gonzales’s appointment as attorney general, last night’s ceremony marked a first, highly public step in the group’s effort to alter its image as a left-leaning organization,” the Post noted in a March 9 report on the banquet. The group does not intend to change its left-wing policies, just its left-wing image. La Raza president Janet Murguia told the Post that this perceived move to the center would “gain more access to the White House.” A 1970 report compiled by the California Senate Factfinding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities disclosed that the Southwest Council of La Raza Unida (the direct ancestor of La Raza) was created in 1968 with a $630,000 Ford Foundation grant and had received a subsequent Ford grant of $1,300,000. The organization’s president at the time, Maclovio Barraza, was an identified member of the Communist Party. Noted the report: “The operation of this large and well-financed private concern, with a Communist at its head, obviously exerts a powerful influence on the Mexican-American minority throughout its domain including the [paramilitary] Brown Berets.” [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
