It's an understatement to say that I'm disappointed that John "Amnesty" McCain has made plans in July to speak to the National Council of La Raza (The Race), the pro-illegal alien advocacy group.
Michelle Malkin put together a good list of the top 10 reasons McCain should repudiate the racists of La Raza (did I mention they refer to themselves as "The Race"?). Here are a few of the ones that make give me a facial tic:
And just what, I wonder, does La Raza (The Race) feel the need to be united against? Secure borders for America? Law enforcement? The English language?
- La Raza supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.
- La Raza supports in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
- Former La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre (Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach advisor) said this:"US English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to US English the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.
- Their signature slogan, chanted at pro-illegal alien rallies from coast to coast, is "La raza unida nunca sera vencida."
"A united [Hispanic] race will never be defeated."
McCain has already made enough mistakes on the illegal immigration issue. He shouldn't be repeating them by pandering to bigots who have no respect for America's laws and culture. Any short-term success he might gain in illegal immigrant and Hispanic votes won't outweigh the long-term damage being done to this country by multiculturalism.
Rather than acquiesce to those who seek to subvert America for their own selfish cause, McCain would prove himself a better leader by following the wise words of Theodore Roosevelt:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
