'The Race' Schools: Your Tax Dollars At Work

by Michelle Malkin - July 12th, 2006 - Townhall.com

Top White House adviser Karl Rove traveled to Los Angeles this week to pay homage to the anti-immigration enforcement lobbying group for Latinos: the National Council of La Raza.

"La Raza" is Spanish for "The Race."

It's bad enough the White House lent its prestige to The Race's annual conference. But did you know the Bush administration has forked over millions of federal tax dollars directly to The Race?

According to GOP Representative Charlie Norwood of Georgia, The Race snapped up $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone and more than $30 million since 1996. Undisclosed amounts went to get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions. The U.S. Department of Education funneled nearly $8 million in taxpayer grants to the group for a nationwide charter schools initiative.

The goal of this group is destruction of America and the taking of all the Southwestern United States and making it a part of Mexico. This is a publicly stated goal and they are actively working to make this happen, including stating it in the schools they run.

Don't forget, Al Qaeda has for a couple of decades stated they wish to destroy us, and yet there was a time when many government leaders laughed at the idea. George Bush and the Democratic Party still laugh at the idea that La Raza will make their goal happen. They laugh at the goal and then turn around and court La Raza votes. That we give a group dedictated to the destruction of our nation money for get-out-the-vote efforts to build their influence is unquestionably the absolutely dumbest thing that George Bush has done.

It is arguable whether fostering democracy in Iraq is the best solution. There is no way you can argue that fostering hatred for the United States is something that we should spend tax payer dollars to support. So why is George Bush doing this?
