One of the nation's largest Latino advocacy and civil rights organizations plans to meet in Los Angeles this weekend to instruct people how to mobilize and vote out those who fail to back generous new immigration laws.
The National Council of La Raza will highlight immigration at its annual conference beginning today, featuring a bipartisan lineup of such high-profile speakers as former President Clinton, Republican presidential political strategist Karl Rove, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
The conference comes as the two chambers of Congress hold competing summer hearings on the issue, with the House stressing stronger border enforcement and the Senate promoting a broader approach that includes legalization for undocumented immigrants and more visas for family members and guest workers. Efforts to reconcile the two approaches have stalled.
"We're in a stalemate…. It looks dismal," said Janet Murguia, La Raza's president and chief executive officer. "We want people to walk away from our conference with clear steps they can take if nothing happens."
Murguia criticized the hearings as a "delaying tactic" that would give immigration control forces a chance to use the volatile issue in the November elections.
"The hearings suggest to me that there are some in Congress — especially in the House — who would prefer to have an issue as opposed to a solution," she said.

Know who won't be there...ICE!
while those who are series about enforcing the laws are in Laredo, TX(check out the other piece I'm posting)
"Republican presidential political strategist Karl Rove"
Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world in the same way that Karl Rove is a political genius.
I wonder if old Karl will pay homage to the KKK next -- or, maybe, the American Nazi Party.
"I wonder if old Karl will pay homage to the KKK next -- or, maybe, the American Nazi Party."
But ol' Karl will be in L.A. today bowing down to La Raza.
I'm not kidding! Check out the piece I posted this a.m.
Arnold will be there too.
ooops sorry!
you are reading it!
still early here. I need another cup of joe! LOL
Both parties are selling us out.
Both parties seem to believe the future of the United States lies with illegal immigrants. The cries against illegals by Americans are going unheeded by these politicians who are stabbing us in the back. What the hell is wrong with these people?
Boy are we in for a screwing.
oh, have you seen Rove's speech already?
we're just going to have to make sure that we elect a true blue conservative in 2008 who will enforce the immigration laws.(Where is IKE when we really need him!)
Such a person will never get near the candidacy, let alone the office.
"oh, have you seen Rove's speech already?"
I did hear what Congressman J.D. Hayworth was told by Rove..."you just have a problem with brown people."
try dancing around that one.
"Such a person will never get near the candidacy, let alone the office."
one more 9/11 type terrorist attack in America and people won't be able to get to the polls fast enough to vote for a strict law enforcement candidate.
And it's not a matter of "if" but "when" we are attacked again.
i ask because there was a trial balloon out of the Administration this week intimating that the Prez was moving over to the side of those who want enforcement/border control before decisions on guestworkers, etc. it will be interesting to see what Rove says in light of that.
These people amaze me. They still lie to themselves that either 1) Americans are besmitten with illegal immigration or 2) Americans won't lift a finger to stop the hi-jacking of their nation by illegals.
LOL! Race Baiter Rove does it again!
