Rep. Ruben Hinojosa wants millions for the National Council of La Raza

U.S. Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX) wants the feds to underwrite the National Council of La Raza ("The Race") to the tune of $5 million per year for 2008. In 2009, that would double, with the National Council of The Race receiving $10 million from the federal government thereafter. They already receive $5 million per year from the Feds, and Harry Reid might have been involved in that.

The NCLR is a considered-mainstream group that actually works to support illegal immigration and which has links to and funds extremists.

The bill ("Hope Fund Act of 2007", HR 1999) is co-sponsored by Rick Renzi, Barney Frank, and Silvestre Reyes, and it's also race-specific:

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall, to the extent amounts are made available pursuant to subsection (b), make a grant to the National Council of La Raza for the purpose of providing technical and financial assistance to local non-profit organizations to undertake community development and affordable housing projects and programs serving low- and moderate-income households, particularly through organizations located in neighborhoods with substantial populations of income-disadvantaged households of Hispanic origin.

Needless to say, this will help consolidate La Raza's power, as well as those linked to them: the Democratic Party. It's also open-ended, allowing them to "conduct such other activities as may be determined by the Secretary and the National Council of La Raza."
