For at least five years, the National Council of La Raza page at this site has included this at the end of the summary:

Important note: Some opponents of illegal immigration weaken their case by confusing the NCLR with other groups, parties, movements, or concepts that have "La Raza" in their name; for instance, the NCLR and the defunct La Raza Unida Party are not the same thing. The NCLR has not advocated for reconquista but has issued (lukewarm) renunciations of that general movement. Opponents should concentrate on their reflexive, race-based support for illegal activity and their receipt of government funds, some of which is funneled to extremists.

Donald Trump's modus operandi on immigration is to say strong things that are actually weak so, of course, it's not unexpected that his campaign broke that rule and in effect helped groups like the NCLR. From [1]:

...during a CNN interview Monday, campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson pointed out that [the judge in the Trump University case, Gonzalo Curiel] is a member of a group of Latino lawyers in California called the La Raza Lawyers Association.

"This is an organization that has been out there organizing anti-Trump protesters with the Mexican flags," Pierson said (apparently confusing the La Raza Lawyers Association with the National Council on La Raza, which is a different group). "And so Mr. Trump is just stating the obvious."

Thinking that all groups with "La Raza" in their names are the same thing helps those groups. Anything you say about them can be deflected by pointing out that you couldn't even get the right group. If Trump or his associates confuses Tajikistan with Turkmenistan or Sudan with South Sudan, he's not going to have much luck dealing with them. That means nothing to Trump, his associates, and his followers: they have no respect for the truth even though not telling the truth makes it more difficult to oppose amnesty.

Especially since the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Assn doesn't appear to have anything to do with the anti-Trump protests. A statement from that group includes [2]:

"Our organization has not been involved in organizing any of the anti-Trump rallies, much less encouraged our members or anyone to participate in any illegal activity... We help empower Latino attorneys, judges and law students, and provide services to the greater local Latino community."

Want to do something about this? Here are three very easy things to do:

1. Tweet @KatrinaPierson and suggest she get her facts straight because not telling the truth helps the pro-illegal immigration side.

2. Tweet those @KatrinaPierson talks to or those who talk to her and make the same point.

3. Help this site's smart, fact-based plans to oppose the NCLR and those associated with them. For instance, Cecilia Munoz is a former NCLR employee now in the White House. If enough people tweeted her these questions she'd feel compelled to reply.

Doing any of those would take seconds, and if enough people did them it would help undo some of the damage Donald Trump is doing to the anti-illegal immigration effort.
