A Conservative View

La Raza-A “Tea Party for Progressives?

I recently wrote an article, “Immigration-La Raza’s Purpose” and disclosed that the Obama administration has nearly tripled the amount of taxpayer funds given to the radical Mexican separatist group the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). This increased generosity commenced after Obama appointed one of NCLR’s former top officials (Cecilia Munoz) to serve as his Director of Intergovernmental Affairs.

This is a follow up article on a recent event. On July 26th President Obama spoke before a meeting of the NCLR,  He was obviously preparing for his re-election by promising this radical of his plans to give more than just cash. This group of obvious radicals has enough power to attract many politicians from both political parties to make speeches when they gather. One example is that Texas Governor Rick Perry also spoke at this recent conference.

Let me share some actual quotes from President Obama during his speech.

1. “It is good to be back with NCLR. It is good to see all of you. Right off the bat, I should thank you because I have poached quite a few of your alumni to work in my administration.”

2 “I promised you I would work tirelessly to fix our broken immigration system and make the DREAM Act a reality. And two months ago…I went down to the border of El Paso to reiterate…my vision for an immigration system that holds true to our values and our heritage, and meets our economic and security needs. And I argued this wasn’t just the moral thing to do, it was an economic imperative.”

For those of you who are unaware of what the Dream Act contains it will be another form of amnesty that both Bush and Obama have promoted. This act would provide permanent residency to any illegal alien who graduates from an American high school as long as they go to an American college or join the US military.

3. “Now, I swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know very well the real pain and heartbreak that deportations cause. I share your concerns and I understand them. And I promise you, we are responding to your concerns and working every day to make sure we are enforcing flawed laws in the most humane and best possible way. Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And believe me right now dealing with Congress the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting.”

Obama has already bypassed Congress and enacted stealth amnesty by shutting down deportation proceedings against illegal aliens, including violent criminals. He holds the record for being the President that has bypassed Congress more than any other president in history, and in just two miserable years.

4. “But here’s the only thing you should know. The Democrats and your President are with you. Don’t get confused about that. Remember who it is that we need to move in order to actually change the laws.”

5. “This country has always been made stronger by our immigrants. That is what makes America special. We attract talented, dynamic, optimistic people who are continually refreshing our economy and our spirit.

I plead with you to remember that the NCLR is a radical racialist group with many members that have absolutely no respect for the United States, especially not for our immigration laws! The NCLR crowd actually urged Obama to violate the Constitution during his speech and unilaterally grant amnesty.

This is the same organization that supports “radical Chicano” groups that seek to conquer the American Southwest by force or by ballot box and return it to Mexico. I wonder how many American voters agree that we should support this type of immigrants to be awarded amnesty ahead of others who seek citizenship the correct way?

We all should recognize the wonderful contributions of immigrants who come here legally for a better life. Obama is talking to the wrong group. The National Council of La Raza (The Race) is not a collection of “dynamic, optimistic people” who have an interest in “refreshing” the America “Dream”.

It makes me sick to watch how both Democrats and Republicans use amnesty for illegal immigration strategy as a ploy to attract the Hispanic vote. It is difficult for me to understand how any politician can support any flagrantly unconstitutional action. How can Obama sell out his solid African American base with actions that will directly hurt them in the future? It is rather apparent that at some point, and soon, that all people who live off of our government will suffer the same pain our spending policies have inflicted on those of us who pay taxes are suffering now.
