Proof once again that concerns about Latino assimilation are unfounded—we are not only learning to assimilate to our colonizers, but to obey them unquestioningly display heightened sensitivity to their non-negotiable demands requests:
The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member. … Janet MurguÃa, head of the Washington-based La Raza, said Thursday that Mayor Mark Funkhouser’s appointment of a member of a militant group opposing illegal immigration gave pause to the Hispanic rights organization.
Semler is a member of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps and has taken a strong stance against illegal immigration and has suggested a moratorium on legal immigration.
What position of power does this little old lady have that frightens La Raza so? Police Review Board? Immigration Enforcement? No—Frances Semler was appointed to the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Board. Why that should fill the activists of La Raza with such fear and loathing is a mystery. So you have to wonder—who’s the real militant here?Â
The lesson here is obvious—there is only one permissible position on immigration, and that is Open Borders. Even the Wall Street Journal, that Olympian dispatch of international finance and politics, looked down toward the Heartland last month and took notice of the appointment of the grandmotherly Semler to the Parks and Recreation Board, and of course, soundly condemned both her and the mayor. In the New America, you are free—free to adhere to accepted thought, or to keep your mouth shut. And don’t imagine for a moment that you have the right to participate in your community—not unless you toe the politically correct line.Â
Speaking of that ever-sharpening line we’re expected to observe, it’s interesting how the NAACP has locked arms with La Raza on this issue. As Elizabeth Wright has explained, it’s not about protecting the interests of blacks—a project the NAACP abandoned long ago—but courting the emerging globalist elite in a bid for political power:
In 1995, the Roper Organization reported that 72 percent of black Americans thought immigration should be cut to less than a third of its present level. …
Yet, even in the face of stark reality, black leadership organizations did not support restrictions on immigration. In fact, by the end of the 1990s, they opposed restrictions outright. The pattern among black elites—politicians, academics, community leaders—consistently has been to make alliances with other elites, in order to insure support for their ever-expanding demands on Establishment whites.
Here’s a neat summary of the NAACP position on Frances Semler, as voiced by city council member and NAACP activist Terry Riley:
Councilman Terry Riley said the La Raza and NAACP concerns just underscored the council’s decision in June to call for Semler to step down from the parks board.
“I think this is a serious issue,†he said. “The city could lose $15 million.â€
Riley said with the downtown improvements that Kansas City is making a serious run at attracting large conventions, and losing La Raza or the NAACP conventions would undermine those efforts.
“I don’t want Kansas City to be looked on nationally as a city divided,†he said. “I want us to be viewed as united.â€
Yes, it’s all about money, it’s all about appearing respectable, and it’s all about unity—that is, unity defined as complying to the wishes of our new masters.

If having her on the board prevents these terrorists from coming to the city I wonder why they would want to get rid of her. Why would any city want to host criminal racketering organizations?

The cost to the city would be much greater than $15,000,000. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of rape and murder prosecutions, shoplifiting, and loss of life that hosting these scum would cause.

The 15 million the city stands to lose would mostly benefit those in the Chamber of Commerce which is pro-amnesty. We are constantly up against the same interest groups.

Why is the City of Kansas City MO concerned about La Raza not comming to Kansas City? I say the area would be better off if all the illegals left. Why don’t they return to Mexico and use their “hard work” to make Mexico a better country.
Conventions may or may not make a city money. It is a know fact politcal conventions cost a city more than the recieve. The convention would only provide work for more illegals in hotels and eateries.

What is wrong with you people? And Jim West, what the fuck are you talking about increasing rape and murder? You just need to pull your head out of your ass and grow up. Not all black people are criminals, and not all Mexicans are illegal. Not to point out the obvious or anything. Who the fuck do you think you are?

Hey SM. Why don’t you wash your foul mouth? Do you kiss your Mother with that same toilet mouth?
I think I am good person that wants the US Government to enforce the law.
If Mexico is so great–get moving S.M..
