Radical Chicano Group Gets Millions In Earmarks
By Judicial Watch Blog
An extremist Mexican “La Raza” group that annually gets millions
of U.S. federal grant dollars will receive even more taxpayer
money in the next few years thanks to a Massachusetts
congressman’s multi million-dollar earmark to counsel Hispanics
about housing.
The National Council of La Raza already got $1.3 million from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development this year to
conduct “comprehensive housing counseling’’ for Hispanics,
whether they are in the country legally or not. Now the radical
group that advocates the return of the American Southwest to
Mexico, will get an additional $15 million thanks to an earmark
inserted by Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank in a housing
bill.
Frank, the House Financial Services Chairman, is giving the
National Council of La Raza $5 million this year and $10 million
in each of the next two years. The new law (FHA Housing
Stabilization and Homeowner****p Retention Act of 2008) includes
$100 million for mortgage counseling to be administered by non-
profit groups like the National Council of La Raza, which has
raked in millions of taxpayer dollars over the year. In fiscal
2006 alone, the group got $15.2 million in federal grants.
Americans should be outraged that their tax dollars are going to
a group that, not only advocates open borders but organized many
of the country’s disruptive pro illegal immigration marches a
year ago. Although the National Council of La Raza describes
itself as the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy
organization in the United States, it actually caters to the
radical Chicano movement that says California, Arizona, Nevada,
New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas belong to Aztlan.
The takeover plan is referred to as the “reconquista” of the
Western U.S. and it features ethnic cleansing of Americans,
Europeans, Africans and Asians once the area is taken back and
converted to Aztlan. While this may all sound a bit crazy, this
organization is quite powerful and its leaders regularly attend
congressional hearings regarding immigration.
The group uses its U.S. tax dollars to fund projects like a
Southern California elementary school with a curriculum that
specializes in ba****ng America and promoting the Chicano
movement. The school’s founder and principal, a Calexico-
educated activist named Marcos Aguilar, opposes racial
integration and says Mexicans in the U.S. don’t want to go to
white schools or drink from white water fountains.
