Building a border fence, tougher immigration laws and resources that could allow local law enforcement agencies to target immigrants are all symptoms of a bias against Hispanics that must change, Rosa Rosales, national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, said in El Paso this weekend.
"One of our top priorities is civil rights. It was the same way before me," she said. "To this day, we feel there's still a lot of discrimination in employment, discrimination in housing, discrimination in the overall issues that pertain to minorities."
Rosales, in El Paso for a quarterly LULAC board meeting, emphasized potential discriminatory practices among law enforcement agencies that have been accused of targeting immigrant populations and enforcing border law beyond their jurisdiction.

“”One of our top priorities is civil rights. It was the same way before me,” she said.”
Your top priority has been trying to get amnesty for as many illegal aliens as possible. And you have been ably assisted by far too many dimwits in the GOP.
Shove it, Rosa. No one who matters is being convinced.
It’s okay for them to claim anti-hispanic bias in our immigration laws but you can’t claim that hispanics make up 80 percent of the illegals. They always want it both ways.
Yup, those border fences are racist.
Unlock your house doors, liberal, and I’ll start to believe you.
Until then, go Obama yourself.
“Building a border fence, tougher immigration laws and resources that could allow local law enforcement agencies to target immigrants are all symptoms of a bias against Hispanics that must change, Rosa Rosal”
Well, Rosa, when we see you stand up for all people and the USA instead of just ‘Hispanics’, we might give a whoop! Take you racial identity back to Mexico.
When did they start speaking Latin? I took three years of Latin back in high school, but don’t remember much beyond amo, amas, amat....
BULL!
Most of these “free houses” went to ILLEGALS.
Most of our government contracts may have a front man and then the ILLEGALS do the work. So LEGAL citizens are shut out. ILLEGALS work CHEAP so they will get the contract.
Most ILLEGALS don't pay taxes - they send it home. They get “free” public school education and medical care and often SHUT DOWN hospitals because they don't pay.
If we STOPPED this we would greatly reduce our DEBT.
I'd say LEGAL citizens are being discriminated against and get the bill for ILLEGALS.
She’s just a greedy racist trying to benefit personally from it. This kind of stuff really makes me sick.
“One of our top priorities is civil rights. It was the same way before me,” she said. “To this day, we feel there’s still a lot of discrimination in employment, discrimination in housing, discrimination in the overall issues that pertain to minorities.”
Well..go back to Mexico. Problem resolved!

If Latinos would stop breaking the law to come here, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Since when is defending your borders a civil rights issue?
Lunatics.
bump
Poor babies. Maybe they should leave this evil, racist, unfair country and go back from whence they came, hmmmm?
Decry a river, Rosales!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
One of my top priorities is obeying the law. If I don’t do that and I get caught I will be punished. Foreigners should be held to the same standard.
This is nothing compared to what a white American who legally moved to Mexico would face.
The real freak show is that much of the kinds of work that the obama people are proposing will wind up being given to illegals who will ship the money south of the border.
bias?
Ah yes. Keep the status quo. The rape trees. The human beings kept as slave labor by the criminal gangs that smuggle them like cattle. The predations of the coyotes. The murders.
Way to go on the civil rights thing, scumbag.
That should have been Ms. Scumbag. It was aimed at the author, not the Freep who posted it.
I’ve found it difficult to take these people seriously after they sued because of a TV commercial that featured a Chihuahua uttering the words, “Yo quiero Taco Bell.” They said they found the notion “insulting” that a dog would speak Spanish, though they never had a problem with animals speaking English in other commercials.
Before that, they sued Frito-Lay because of their “Frito Bandido.” Some years earlier they put comedian Bill Dana out of business because of his “Jose Jimenez” character.
Seems to be a pattern of Jesse Jackson-style shakedowns which apparently accounts for much of their income. Beats working for a living, I guess: “League of Unemployed Lazy-@ss Charlatans.”
I decry his anti-American bias.
