National Council of La Raza: Sorry, Charlie, The Clear Act Is Still Bad Legislation

“In response to an ad hominen attack today by Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-GA), the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) reiterated its opposition to the CLEAR Act, legislation that will compel overworked, untrained law enforcement personnel into enforcing complex federal immigration laws, in addition to fulfilling their other duties.

“The CLEAR Act undermines the ability of law enforcement to do its job and compromises public safety. That stance has earned us yet another hit piece from Congressman Norwood in which he calls us “radical’ and “un-American.’ In a Dear Colleague letter today, Congressman Luis Gutierrez listed more than 100 law enforcement organizations and officials who also oppose the CLEAR Act for the same reasons we do. Surely Rep. Norwood doesn’t believe that they are “radical’ and “un-American,’ too.” said Janet Murguí, NCLR President and CEO.”
