National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials
Summary (posts follow):
Per them: "NALEO is a non-partisan membership organization whose constituency includes the nation's more than 6,000 elected and appointed officials."
They also have a somewhat minor link to the Mexican government: they administer that government's Ohtli award. Those awards are given to foreigners who push the Mexican government's agenda inside the U.S. Past recipients of that award include Janet Murguia of the National Council of La Raza, U.S. Reps. Luis Gutierrez and Jared Polis, and U.S. Senator Bob Menendez.

After complains from black and Hispanic groups, the Obama administration will be requiring the Census Bureau to report directly to the White House, bypassing Judd Gregg, the Republican who was appointed to head the Department of Commerce (link).

Why is the Secretary of State "in collaboration with" far-left groups, at least two of which have supported illegal immigration in the past? Isn't this in effect an endorsement of those group's agendas?
