Less than two weeks after becoming the first sitting cabinet member in American history to be held in contempt of Congress, disgraced
Attorney General Eric Holder spoke in front of the highly controversial
National Council of La Raza — it means “The Race” in Spanish — and
issued threats against ongoing state and local efforts to control
illegal immigration or enforce voter-ID requirements. He also touted an
administration effort to stop deportations while promising to keep
working with President Obama to pass the “Dream Act” and secure amnesty
for illegal immigrants.
Despite receiving millions of dollars from taxpayers, “La Raza” is a deeply divisive outfit known for race-mongering and advancing flawed collectivist notions of Latinos and Hispanics as a monolithic bloc rather than unique individuals — bizarrely emphasizing “race” and “ethnicity,” superficial and largely irrelevant characteristics, above other, more important traits. Still, Holder seemed infatuated, claiming that “our nation’s struggle to overcome injustice and eliminate disparities remains far from over” and that La Raza was on the front lines of the battle.
"I want to assure you, that in the fight to protect the civil rights of all, this organization will never have a more committed partner than the United States Department of Justice," he claimed, without mentioning, of course, that he is currently abusing his likely short-lived authority as head of the Justice Department to shield himself from criminal prosecution in connection with the Obama administration’s deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running program.
“And as my colleagues and I keep working to build on this progress — and strive to take all of our efforts to a new level — know that we’ll continue to rely on organizations like this one to help lead the way forward,” Holder told “The Race” activists assembled in Las Vegas for a yearly conference. “Sí se puede," he concluded. It means "Yes We Can," Obama’s controversial campaign slogan, in Spanish.
