LA RAZA Janet Murguia "We do the work stupid gringos won't do!"

REALITY CHECK:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JUST WON'T WORK FOR SLAVE WAGES, THE KIND OF WAGES THE U.S.CHAMBOER OF COMMERCE, IN ITS ENDLESS DRIVE FOR MORE ILLEGALS, WOULD PROMOTE EMPLOYERS TO PAY.

"CHEAP" MEXICAN LABOR DID NOT MAKE THIS ONCE GREAT NATION. WE CAN SEE WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR MEXICO!"

CNN LOU DOBBS SHOW

This was in line with the fait accompli argument advanced by La Raza representative Janet Murguia. She referred to what she estimated as the 11-12 million illegal aliens in the country as "people are working in backbreaking work that nobody else wants to do in this country. We need to . . . understand that they are already part of this country." "They're doing work others won't do" has become the mantra of pro-immigration advocates.

Brown then let her true MSM colors show with a softball question to Murguia implying that opposition to illegal immigration is veiled racism: "What are the racial undertones to this debate for many people? Is that something that worries you?" Murguia was only too happy to be worried, alleging that there are "racial undertones, anti-ethnic overtones." That's when Dobbs got off perhaps his best line of the morning. "The National Council of La Raza is talking about race? La Raza - what does that mean? It means 'the race'!"
