I never said that NCLR members are illegal aliens. I said NCLR is an advocacy group FOR illegal aliens; just as MALDEF, LULAC, CASA de Maryland, et al. represent illegal aliens under the guise of “immigrant” rights.

My opinion of La Raza has absolutely no connection to “the way they look.” As you know, Hispanics are not all “brown.” I was married to a non-brown Hispanic, and my son is a non-brown Hispanic (technically half), albeit he looks very much Latino.

For the record; I don’t like or dislike people on the basis of their skin color. Furthermore, if I disliked “brown” people I would have to dislike myself. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

Soooooooo . . .you were saying?
Excellent question. I have often wondered why “immigrants” need advocacy groups to fight to end the raids and deportations that are “separating families.” Perhaps a supporter of illegal aliens can enlighten us.

Good question hmm. . . . . Could it be that they aren't "immigrants" but illegal aliens? Could it also be that the reason their families are being separated is because they throw the old babies out with the bath water and leave their spouses behind and come to the US to find new partners to mate with? Thus creating new families, complete with American born children to anchor themselves to the US in return for welfare, food stamps, free healthcare and future chain migration?

No doubt there are people involved in the protests that La Raza organizes, are illegal. However, those that do the advocating for them, the leaders of La Raza are all American.

National Council of La Raza: About NCLR: Governance: Board of Directors (http://www.nclr.org/section/about/board/board_of_directors/ - broken link)

You can check the list. I cant provide you with their original birth certificates or citizenship papers but you can ask them yourself.

As far as advocating for them? What ever these Americans want to advocate for, is their right and it is protected under the constitution. If they so feel like advocating for immigrants whether legal or illegal, it is their right and yes, even illegals, who have no rights are immigrants by definition.

That would make a good cover on a book and it would probably sell as it is "sensationalism". It does happen but not as often as you claim it to be. BTW, Mexican divorce rate is much lower than the American divorce rate.

World Divorce Rates

Separation/divorce happens much more frequent among Americans than Mexicans.

Let's go to a party, the whole gang will be there!

Fui al partido de beisbol ayer, y había un buen de raza!!
I went to the baseball game yesterday and there was a lot of people!!

La banda is more used in central Mexico, but that's the meaning it has in this country at least, most Mexicans at least those who live in Mexico ignore the existence of an organization called La Raza or their goals.

Regards
Here is a link so you can get acquainted with La Raza

National Council of La Raza: About NCLR (http://www.nclr.org/section/about - broken link)

En si, the organization is an advocacy group for Latino immigrants in various topics/social issues such as Health care, Education, Real Estate, and of course immigration (paranoia of anti-immigrants). It is the advocacy to illegal immigrants and even those that are legal, that they oppose.

If you look at the website, there is nothing racist about it but then again, I have not had direct contact with any of its members to actually make a judgement. IF they are making a judgment based on the name "La Raza", then you and I know that this is slang and has nothing racist about it. It just means "the people" and you will find an explanation of this in the following web page...

National Council of La Raza: Viewpoints (http://www.nclr.org/content/viewpoints/detail/42500/#raza - broken link)

Under the constitution of the US, these Latino Americans have every right to fight for what ever cause they want and if this is what they want to fight for, we cannot stand in their way. If it were a Mexican organization or a Argentinian organization or a Chilean organization, it would be a different story but it is American and run by Americans.

Not so much anymore AZ and it does reflect in the more modern telenovelas. One thing in Mexico is that we dont have a color division or racial divide as America.
