What Karl Rove Should Tell La Raza
Human Events ^ | 07/10/06 | The Human Events View

Posted on 07/10/2006 5:42:12 PM PDT by garbageseeker

White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza.

If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks.

La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans. The bill, which calls for tough worksite enforcement of immigration laws and 700 miles of border fencing, was condemned by La Raza as a “laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrations restrictionists in Congress.”

Will Rove defend the immigration reforms passed by President Bush’s party in the House and tell La Raza that House Republicans are neither “mean-spirited” nor “radical”? He should. House Republicans deserve Rove’s support.

"What race are they talking about?"

Their own, and only their own ... never mind that there is no such "race." They're mestizo, a mixture of indio (native) and white, Spaniard males. Somehow, their European surnames and ancestry don't register as being pertinent, especially when territorial aspirations and potential government largesse are concerned.

These guys serious? Rove has already told the media how to define the dispute.

He will talk about "minority rights" rather than economics, he will then talk about the worry of the "incivility" of opponents, then he'll talk about "House Republicans" - signifying yet again to Howard Dean and the MSM to begin reparroting his cryptic charges of racism.

He must have had quite a smile when Howard Dean jumped on the band wagon.

Yeah but its not reallly Roves's Bill - he may try to draw distinctions between the bill and what the administration wants.

Remember,several years ago Trent Lott had to resign his post as Senate Majority Leader because he spoke in front of the Council of Conservative Citizens. I think that Senator Brownback and Karl Rove should resign their posts for speaking in front of Hispanic racists who are just as racist as the KKK but against anyone who is not bronze or brown . I believe if the voters of Kansas knew that their one of the U.S. Senators was affiliated and spoke to Hispanic racists bent on "reconquista" and unrestricted illegal immigration, they would either fire him or run a primary challenger against him.

Agreed. But La Raza was talking about the house bill - which was not so much a Rove bill

Rove is an embarrassment and insult to our Founding Fathers...I suspect they would have sent him to Britain, or shot him...

Even with over three hours remaining, it's safe to say yours is the "Dumbest Post of the Day."

I thought that you were talking about the Senate bill. I am sorry. There is no doubt, that Karl Rove gave a lot of input in the Senate bill, because basically that what the President wanted. He is probably influencing the House members,like Congressman Pence, to give their versions of Anmesty-lite.

Trent Lott resigned (mistakenly, IMO) for praising Strom Thurmond at his 100th birthday party in front of some friends, saying that the US would have been better off with Strom in the presidency.

The CCC had nothing to do with it.

Speaking to the CCC years before had nothing to do with his resignation. It was all about Strom, and only about Strom, and about cowardly Republicans who were still angry with Lott over not "getting" Clinton.

He was railroaded, and Bush didn't help matters.

I remember reading that figure but I cannot place it. La Raza has been in the past given subsidies by the Federal government.

Not a chance. The numbers of voting Republicans who feel as passionately as some on this forum do about immigration is less than 20%.

"He's gonna kiss their butts."

Merely appearing at the conference (or whatever it is) constitutes butt kissing, imho. Next week he should address the Workers of the World Party, and after that have a tea party with Mother Sheehan. He'll get just as moany votes with them as he will from La Raza.

Don't know where you've been looking, but even citizen Democrats are not for any more criminal opportunity.

For heaven's sake it increased the number of violent criminals in prison in California by 50% and has the citizens of CA paying many billions a year to educate citizens of mostly Mexico.

Life just got easier and cheaper for millions of US residents. Freddie Mac, the second largest owner of mortgages in the US, just announced that it has expanded its loan-to-value ratios for many of its loan programs offered through approved lenders.

Now, all resident aliens are eligible for the same high loan-to-value ratio loans as US citizens and permanent resident aliens.

Previously, resident aliens were generally limited to a maximum of 75% loan-to-value prior to establishing a two- year US residency and work history.

It should be noted that lenders must still develop and verify that the applicants have an acceptable credit history and credit reputation such that the applicants meet the normal eligibility requirements for Freddie Mac.
