HR 1999 as introduced by representative Ruben Hinojosa of Texas would provide 5 mil the first year and ten mil each year thereafter for the purpose of offering assistance to the National Council of La Raza. The purpose: "to undertake community development and affordable housing projects and programs serving low- and moderate-income households, particularly through organizations located in neighborhoods with substantial populations of income-disadvantaged households of Hispanic origin."
And that's it folks. That's all. Whatever La Raza wants to do with your money it could do. $10 million dollars each year, a guaranteed income. Like I've posted before, our elected officials think anything in the millions is just pocket change. Consider a budget at 2.9 Trillion, ten million would be similar to 21 cents to someone making 60 grand a year. It's just pocket change, not even worth picking up off the street. That's how our politicians think of our money. Pocket change to throw around for votes.
Now about La Raza. It's a Hispanic advocacy tax exempt lobbying organization. From it's own web page it had an account of the protest marches across the country on May 1st or May day. “Some 200,000 peoples took to the streets to make their voices heard in Chicago, as did thousands of others across the country, demanding that the Democratic-controlled Congress pass, once and for all, the immigration reform to be debated in mid-May.” Chanting Legalization now, or "Legalización ahora". Read it all here in the English version.
Does not sound like a pro America organization to me. So why are we giving it money to advance a foreign cause on American soil? Do we give 10 mil to an Italian advocacy group, or Israel, or Swedish, or African, or Canadian, or a Russian advocracy group. The people of Texas should be proud of their representative, Ruben Hinojosa.

"With regard to national security concerns, NCLR has strongly opposed most of the U.S. government's post-9/11 counterterrorism efforts, alleging that they have "undermined" the rights of "noncitizen Latinos." For example: La Raza was a signatory to a March 17, 2003 letter exhorting members of the U.S. Congress to oppose Patriot Act II on grounds that it "contain[ed] a multitude of new and sweeping law enforcement and intelligence gathering powers … that would severely dilute, if not undermine, many basic constitutional rights" Discover the Networks.
More on matters of Money. Hillary was honest enough to declare that the federal government has to take money away from some people so that other people could have health insurance. “An uninsured person who goes to the hospital is more likely to die than an insured person,” Clinton said. “I mean, that is a fact. So what do we do? We have to build a political consensus. And that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground.”
We knew she was and still is a socialist.
Are you ready to give up some of your own turf for La Raza and for Universal Health Care, all for the common good. Won't you feel so much better when you know that your hard earned cash is going for the common good of La Raza and health care for hispanics among the thousands of other give away benefits for the 'needy'. Well, it's gonna be taken away anyway.
It will just be a whole lot more money if the democrats achieve the triple threat. House, Senate and WH.
