But,
for who?

Holder also offered a
specific warning to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe
Arpaio, and any agency wanting to emulate Arpaio’s efforts to round up
and expel undocumented immigrants at any cost.
“These policies simply have no place in responsible law enforcement,
and they must not and simply will not be tolerated as long as I am
attorney general of the United States,” Holder said.
The statement drew cheers. [Full]

What does that mean to La Raza? Well,
NCLR’s major policy positions include the following:
- It supports access to driver’s
licenses for illegal immigrants.
- It opposes the REAL ID Act,
which requires that all driver’s license and photo ID applicants be
able to verify they are legal residents of the United States, and that
the documents they present to prove their identity are genuine.
According to La Raza, this law “opens the door to widespread
discrimination and civil rights violations.”
- It opposes the Clear Law Enforcement for
Criminal Alien Removal Act (CLEAR), which would empower state and local
police to enforce federal immigration laws. La Raza argues this
would “result in higher levels of racial profiling, police misconduct,
and other civil rights violations.”
- It
lobbies for racial and ethnic preferences (affirmative action) and
set-asides in hiring, promotions, and college admissions.
- It supports bilingual education and
bilingual ballots.
- It supports voting rights for illegal
aliens.
- It supports stricter hate-crime laws.
- It opposed the Aviation Transportation and Security
Act requiring that all airport baggage screeners be U.S. citizens.
- It opposed
President Bush’s signing of the "Secure Fence Act of 2006” which
authorized 700 miles of new border fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
As
columnist Michelle Malkin reports, La Raza seeks to inculcate
young
people with its worldview by funding a number of charter
schools that
advocate ethnic separatism and anti-American, anti-white
attitudes.
