National Council of La Raza Slams House Leadership’s “Son Of Sensenbrenner” Legislative Stunts

“A series of legislative stunts by the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives this week, including passage of fence legislation, the “Voter ID Act,” and most of last year’s infamous Sensenbrenner immigration bill, brought resounding criticism from the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.

“The U.S. House of Representatives had a chance to pass fair and effective comprehensive immigration reform last year. Instead, they went on an anti-immigrant road show this summer and are now spending the fall passing the widely reviled Sensenbrenner bill in bits and pieces. The House leadership may believe that the only losers in this are Latinos, but their ineffective, unworkable, and extravagantly expensive shenanigans will soon reveal that the real losers are the American people who are demanding actual solutions on this issue,” stated Janet Murguí, NCLR President and CEO.”
