"Thanks to a congressional earmark, an open-borders advocacy group that pushes for driver’s licenses, free in-state tuition and healthcare for illegal aliens and bilingual requirements for state agencies and ballots is slated to get $4 million in new taxpayer money to add to the more than $30 million it has received from various federal agencies since 1996," Amanda Carpenter writes at HumanEventsOnline. The political advocacy group receiving the $4 million is La Raza, which, if you speak Spanish, you know means the "the race." If this were a white group called "the race," might this be a lot more controversial? And how about if instead of groups like La Raza and Planned Parenthood getting fat on the dole, the National Right to Life or Ward Connerly's American Civil Rights Initiative were granted millions of dollars? There are many far more substantial programs that should be cut. But when the Congress rubber-stamps something so obviously crooked as millions for groups that lobby the government, it's easy to see why congressmen make so little progress cutting the billions from the more mammoth programs that are wasteful, against majority interests, and blatantly unconstitutional.
