The NCLR is the National Council of La Raza. Call it the NCLR, call it La Raza, call it an advocacy group for illegal immigrants, it is all the same movement.

NCLR is a hispanic-supremacy organization whose members have protested against law enforcement, and have advocated complete amnesty for illegals.

Where do you get your information that they are a Hispanic-supremacy group?

If tweaked just a little, your comments sound like some that came out of most Sarah Palin rallies and were directed at Obama. You guys really need to get new talking points. What, have Rush and Hannity been on vacation the last eight months?
I actually came up with the screen name yikesamillion because that is what I say whenever I hear or read the leftist dogmatic mantra of all the Obama supporters, the homosexual marriage advocates, the racist minority-rights groups, and the downfall of our society thanks to people turning away from God and Christianity.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are two voices that are trying to maintain traditional conservative values that the United States was founded on. Values are what the leftists are obviously lacking!

La Raza is Spanish for the race. That alone is proof enough that naming themselves THE race is their way of advocating superiority. They believe in radical changes in our laws and violent demonstrations to promote their causes, just as extreme as the Black Panthers did back in the 1960s and 1970s.

Race is one of the translations. It's not the only translation.

Where does the information come from about violent demonstrations? Do you have a source, or preferably multiple sources, that are not blogs or commentaries but actually news sources.?

I was born and raised in South Texas and have been around La Raza Unida all my life. It's a civil rights organization, much like the NAACP. It's not a Hispanic supremacy organization. You all need to crawl out from your hiding places and breath some fresh air. There's nothing to be afraid of out here--really.

There has never been an immigrant group who has not had their own organization to provide for their assistance and protection. Why should Hisapanics be any different? If only people learned more history then much of their unnatural fear would be alliviated.

La Raza has staged violent protests against law enforcement, especially when law enforcement has stepped in and created task forces to arrest illegal immigrants.

Such was the case when the Arizona sheriff was faced with disorderly protests when he placed a larger concentration of deputies to patrol areas with high populations of illegal immigrants. La Raza members and the other hispanic-rights advocates accused him of targeting hispanics and called for his termination.

It wasn't the sheriff's fault that most illegals are of hispanic origin; but leave it to La Raza to play the race card simply because he was arresting people that do not belong in this country.

You being from south Texas should be aware of the problem with illegal immigration. Thanks to the libs with a lackadaisical attitude, illegal immigration is now a nationwide concern, not just a regional one anymore.

Nor is it Hispanics fault that most undocumented immigrants are Hispanic. That fact doesn't give law enforcement or anyone else the right to run rough shod over the rights of Hispanics who are here legally.

Illegal immigration has never been a problem for me, personally, or anyone else I know.

As far as it being cause by a liberal, lackadaisical attitude, that's crap. The reason there are so many undocumented immigrants here is capitalism, plain and simple. They keep labor costs down and employers like that. Employers contribute to political campaigns. Politicians decline to act on the matter.

The fact remains, being a member of La Raza should not disqualify Sotomayor any more than being a member of the NAACP disqualified Thurgood Marshall.
