In addition, Texas state Senator Dan Patrick said there are 100,000 illegal immigrant gang members in Texas and somewhere between one in five and one in ten illegal immigrants are actually apprehended. But Murguia said it was "reprehensible" for Republicans to be concerned about disease and crime that these "little kids" may be bringing across the border.Murguia did not say anything about the "Viva La Raza!" chants from pro-amnesty advocates in Murrieta. She also failed to mention that the number of illegal immigrant children who have unlawfully entered the country drastically spiked in the year after Obama enacted DACA in 2012. And a Pew Research report, based on data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, found that nearly 90% of these children are teenagers and not just "little kids," as Murguia claimed nearly all of them were.
America, including the sane part of the GOP, will not negotiate with the thugs of the far right.
No immigration reform, no White House and no Senate and possibly no House in 2016 elections for the GOP
Why should the Republican Party be blackmailed by the leader of a hate group?
You are confused. The hate group was the crowd who blocked the children. I was watching a documentary of Nazi Germany this afternoon and I could not help but compare some of the fascist views from the 1940s with the Tea Party views of today.
When they hear things like that, that is exactly why Hispanics and Latinos will continue to vote Democratic and will never change their stance on this such as to ever vote Republican to any great degree to help your party. You exemplify why they are so disgusted with your political party that simply doesn't care about them but is trying to pull the wool over their eyes sure enough just to obtain their votes but that won't happen. They are not fools. They know Exactly what's going on with Conservatives!Who gives a shit what La Raza thinks?
Talking about giving them an inch, that is what happens when the law is lax on people who carry guns and get rowdy like those who stop buses carrying the refugee children. They think they can walk over anyone anytime but they should consider themselves lucky that they haven't gotten arrested yet for standing in the way and being obstructionists.You give them an inch they walk a mile all over you and threaten you
well if this is the LATINO way they can go to hell
people better start speaking up to this type of threats, called names if you speak out , etc if you don't bow to their demands
That is highly inaccurate, offensive, and untrue and you know it.LaRaza is a terrorist organization.
This is what La Raza truly stands for.
"The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)—the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States—works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans."

The Far Right has trouble understanding the other 85% has no intent EVAH to negotiate with them on this issue.
Either the GOP reaches out honestly to the Hispanics, or the elections of 2016 will be very, very bad for their candidates.
The Hispanic gang members invading from the south don't care about democrats or Republicans they see prey. They will attack both democrats and republicans. If the invasion has any effect at all it might turn so many democrats to republican the Dem party may well disappear as a viable political force.
[1. Funny, your understanding of the constitution is full of shit.
2. Reducing the size of government will only weaken this country. How about efficiency?
3. I am all for freedom.
4. I am pro-free market, but with regulations that protect the worker and consumer. Want to go back to the 19th century with that one? That will alone lose you elections!
5. Fiscal responsablity? Like your 3 trillion dollar war? lol.So you'd kill our science institutions and our leadership in the world within dozens of areas? Another reason not to ever vote for your party.
6. We can do this by reforming welfare and ending our policing of the world. Nasa, cdc, nws and the fda isn't big enough to matter in matters of debt.
7. You mean the rich that pay 15%, while everyone else pays double that? Do you know in the 50's into the 70's the rich paid 70-80%? This nation was seriously moving up in the world.
8. Not on the backs of science, infrastructure and education. That will weaken our economy to the point where we can't pay down our debt.
Stop working for the super rich, asshole.![]()
NCLR President: GOP Will Lose White House If Attitude On Child Refugees Continues
LOS ANGELES -- Janet MurguÃa, president of the country's largest Latino advocacy group, has a formal warning for Republicans: Help the child refugees at the border and act on immigration reform, or say goodbye to the idea of winning the White House.
MurguÃa, the head of the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, delivered her remarks Monday afternoon at the Los Angeles Convention Center during day three of the NCLR's annual conference. On the subject of the current border crisis, MurguÃa said she was "sickened" by the hostile reaction of many Americans to the child refugees and blamed House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for Congress' inability to pass immigration reform.
More than 57,000 children escaping poverty and violence in Central America have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border since October, overwhelming local resources. Many of the children, upon arrival, are turning themselves in to authorities and attempting to seek asylum.
In late June, overcrowding at the Texas-Mexico border prompted the Department of Homeland Security to transfer many of the children to California facilities, where they were blocked by anti-immigration protesters in Murrieta.
"The plight of these child refugees has sadly brought out the worst in a lot of people," MurguÃa told an audience of hundreds on Monday. "I was sickened by the sight of angry protesters this month in Murrieta, California, blocking busloads of refugee children and shouting 'Go back to where you come from!' and 'No illegals!' ... When they cloak their hatred in patriotism, shouting 'USA! USA!' it made me angry."

I'd grant amnesty to all illegals that have worked hard in this country for at least 5 years. Next, I'd grant amnesty for the children already here. I'd of course enforce our borders afterwards strongly as we don't need the entire world streaming through our border.
The Latino Civil Rights Leader needs to realize that most of the Latinos without Civil Rigihts are in Central America. Logically speaking, where should her efforts be spent given that Central America is an abysmal failure?
