"In 1984, Mexican-American political activists were thrilled when Walter Mondale publicly considered Cisneros for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination. But second place no longer seems such a great prize. “In 1984, there were 20 million Hispanics in America,” according to the political activist Antonio Gonzalez, who heads the William C. Velasquez Institute. “Today, we are 50 million, and more and more people are registering to vote.” Who they will vote for and what issues will cement their party loyalty is one of the great questions of American politics. This year Democrats hope to exploit the ire among Hispanics over the new G.O.P.-inspired law in Arizona that empowers local police forces to crack down on illegal immigrants."
Isn't this a race-based comment, set of beliefs and motivators, and of the political ambition of a foreign people to rise up and control a land belonging to another people group? Isn't this "racism" when committed by "whites"? Can we say "double stantard!
Isn't this a law that most Americans support? Then the DNC is against the will of the people.
