The Quote Below—More Misinformation from the Media
“Civil rights groups in Texas and beyond are slamming Donald Trump, the GOP primary frontrunner for president in 2024, for deploying anti-immigrant rhetoric as he vies to regain control of the White House. . . .
“Earlier in November, The New York Times reported on Trump’s immigration plans for 2025, which include large-scale roundups of migrants who would be sent to detention camps while awaiting expulsion.
“In a press release this month, the League of United Latin American Citizens blasted Trump’s proposals as “extreme,” “inhumane,” “racist” and “unchristian.” The civil rights organization called on faith-based groups and those who describe themselves as “patriots” to denounce the Republican candidate’s agenda.
LULAC National President Domingo Garcia is a local attorney, former state representative and former Dallas mayor pro tem. He railed against Trump’s 2025 plans as “sick and detestable,” adding that the candidate’s speeches work to “inflame the deepest, most deranged hatred against immigrant Latinos and people of color.
“LULAC calls upon every American who believes we are a nation of immigrants and diversity to turn away from Trump’s race-baiting tribal politics as dangerous,” Garcia continued in the news release. “We have seen in history what happened when race-baiting, anti-Semitic, immigrant scapegoating are left unchallenged by good men and women.”
“With less than a year before the 2024 election, the former commander-in-chief is reviving and intensifying his anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+agendas. Advocacy groups in Texas and beyond are sounding the alarm about the damage such ploys can inflict on vulnerable communities.
“The way LULAC sees it, Trump’s attacks run counter to “the principles of America and Christianity.”
“Regardless, the divisive Republican figure remains popular among his base. A recent Harvard-CAPS Harris Poll survey suggests that, in a hypothetical 2024 face-off, Trump would gain 48 percent support to Democratic President Joe Biden’s 41 percent.” – Rights Groups Blast Trump’s Racist Immigration Plans as Unchristian.

Fact Check of Above Quote: Illegal alien advocacy groups typically adopt the moniker of “civil rights” to hide their true aims and goals. “Civil rights” has a good connotation in most people’s minds, as it recalls the movement to secure equal rights, regardless of race, on the basis of common citizenship. For illegal alien advocates, citizenship has little intrinsic significance—far more important to them are their ethnic and political agendas.
An excellent example is the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) cited in the article above. When it began in 1929, LULAC was a patriotic organization which promoted good citizenship among Americans of Latino descent. By the 1960s, however, radicals began to hijack the group and turn it into a Latino supremacist organization. They received a significant boost in 1981 when the radical-left Ford Foundation began to bankroll them. By the early nineties the transformation of LULAC was complete as evidenced by a statement by Jose Velez, its president at that time.
He declared that “[The Border Patrol is the enemy of my people and always will be.” One can deduce from this statement that “his people” are not defined by citizenship, but by race. Citizens have no reason to see the Border Patrol as an enemy. But it is the foe of Latino supremacists who want an unchecked flow of illegal aliens to increase their ethnic power and clout. LULAC consistently opposes any effective steps to curtain illegal immigration. Its leaders simply don’t care about American laws and American sovereignty. Most tellingly, LULAC has received funding from the Open Society Institute, a creation of George Soros, the multi-billionaire who has made erasure of nations and borders his life’s passion.
Therefore, one need not take seriously what LULAC has to say about such topics as Christian ethics, racism, extremism, and American principles. When LULAC speaks, listeners should consider the source.
