Politicians Courting La Raza

I find it deeply disturbing that Karl Rove is among those who will be speaking at a La Raza conference this weekend, giving a speech on immigration.

Senator Sam Brownback and former President Bill Clinton are among the other politicians scheduled to speak at the conference. Michelle Malkin has more links.

La Raza is a racial separatist group which advocates "reconquista" -- reconquering the Western United States. La Raza does not believe in equal rights; their motto is "For The Race, everything. Outside The Race, nothing."

Karl Rove wouldn't visit a conference of the KKK or any other racist group, so why is he spending time with La Raza, especially as it, in essence, advocates the overthrow of the United States?

His appearance is, unfortunately, a bow to political correctness. Too many people have no idea what La Raza's members believe, and so politicians, even those who are part of the current administration, look the other way and ignore the threat the group represents to our borders and national sovereignty, in hopes of courting Hispanic votes.

Legitimizing La Raza and ignoring the group's goals certainly doesn't reassure those of us who are also concerned about the administration's lack of seriousness when it comes to securing our borders.
