Pro-Illegal-Immigration 'La Raza' Blasts Obama Health Plan for Not Including Illegal Aliens | NumbersUSA - For Lower Immigration Levels

Quote:
U.S. Latinos should be furious with the way the National Council of La Raza equates Latinos with illegal aliens.
The fact is that the Obama plan doesn't treat Latino Americans any differently than any other Americans. But it does treat legal U.S. residents differently than illegal ones. And La Raza should keep in mind that illegal aliens aren't just Latino but come in every nationality and ethnicity.
Really...

This has been a recurring theme with Janet and her minions. They should be ashamed to deliberately relegate all Hispanics to the ranks of illegal aliens, solely for the profits of the corporate elite. I am always reminded of the former African slave traders when I think of La Raza and their despicable peddling of their own.

The irony is what I find of interest.
On one hand we have the pro-illegal side up in arms if we Stereotype illegals as hispanics.Then on the other hand the hispanic Laraza is upset because they feel the bill is unfair to hispanics because it does not cover illegals.
Why can't we have our cake and eat it too?

Really now.... It's people with thinking like this why our country has fallen so much in power, innovation, and intelligence in the past few decades.

Simple fact...Not all latinos are Illegal Aliens. Not all Illegal Aliens are latinos.

La Raza Unida is a avocate for Latinos. Legal or not.

The problem is that they are demanding amnesty for the illegal kind though. That kind of advocacy group we don't need in this country. It would be the same thing if any white/black advocacy group were making demands for their own illegal kind.

So to be clear, Do you have a problem with LRU advocating amnesty, or that they advocate on behalf of Illegal Aliens?
