Obama to speak to annual conference of Hispanic civil rights group National Council of La Raza
Quote:
Obama has been heavily criticized by some in the Latino community for his failure to move immigration reform, which he promised in his 2008 campaign to tackle in the first year of his presidency (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-to-speak-to-annual-conference-of-hispanic-civil-rights-group-national-council-of-la-raza/2011/06/15/AGyI2VWH_story.html - broken link)
Perhaps he will offer more federal funding to support their cause.
Quote:
The influential and politically-connected National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has long benefitted from Uncle Sam’s largess but the group has made a killing since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) in 2009 to be his director of intergovernmental affairs.
This week a JW probe has uncovered details of the alarming increase in federal funding that these NCLR groups have received since Muñoz joined the Obama Administration. In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million.
Not surprisingly, a big chunk of the money (60%) came from the Department of Labor, which is headed by a former California congresswoman (Hilda Solis) with close ties to the La Raza movement. Since Obama named her Labor Secretary, Solis has launched a nationwide campaign to protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. Just this week Solis penned declarations with Guatemala and Nicaragua to preserve the rights of their migrants.
Actually, it is amnesty what they want. There is no reforming involved.
Yes. To reform something is to improve something. By awarding law-breakers who ignore our immigration laws, this ultimately destroys our immigration system.

Indeed it does. It also makes a mockery of the rule of law.
Since Amnesty is legal...how can it be against the rule of law?
Respect for the rule of law is respecting all laws...even those you dont agreee with.
US courts forgive crimes everyday in the form of plea bargins, probation, parole, or even amnesty.
So forgiving crimes of illegal aliens in amensty is not some unheard of practice...
When our laws are repeatedly ignored by millions of foreign nationals, and they are repeatedly pardoned, how is it not a mockery? Furthermore, we are not discussing our judicial system relative to citizens of this country. We are discussing rewarding foreign invaders for breaching our border security, or deliberately overstaying visas. This not only makes a mockery of the rule of law, but it is also an insult to legal immigrants, and a serious threat to our national security. It’s sad if you are unable to make the distinction.

Amnesty is a legal option...if you feel it is a mockery and an insult, thats your deal.
