La Raza keeps on pushing “comprehensive immigration reform” even in the face of their defeat
June 29th, 2007Well guess what Janet? The Americans are ENERGIZED too so you can take your “Hispanic civil rights” and shove it! We are not happy with the status quo and that is why we will be pushing for ENFORCEMENT of our current IMMIGRATION LAWS and get the damn FENCE built and if it takes Americans to help them, so be it! Oh, and political gains? It’s called SPANKING your ASS!
Americans are ready and able to defend against any kind of illegal alien violence that might be planned as a backlash. We know that is the language of ignorance and we are expecting it from your La Ratza contingency. Bring it!
TODAY’S VOTE A SETBACK, NOT THE END, FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM
Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., expressed deep disappointment with today’s vote to end Senate consideration of comprehensive immigration reform.
“Today’s action is a victory for the status quo, and no one should be happy about that. But the Senate vote is a setback, not the death knell, for comprehensive immigration reform. We are not giving up on getting a real, effective, and fair solution to the immigration issue,” stated Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO.
“Despite today’s vote, the country still needs leadership on this issue. There is bipartisan immigration reform legislation awaiting action in the U.S. House of Representatives, and supporters of comprehensive immigration reform will be looking to the House to take action as soon as possible,” continued Murguía.
“Finally, we believe that whatever political gain people think may come out of this vote will be short-lived, especially in light of the growing and increasingly energized Latino electorate. In the long run, legislators should and will be held accountable for not moving a solution forward,” concluded Murguía.
