re: Mexican-American judge that Trump attacked rules in favor of border wall

Let me add more details.

Nclr is an illegal immigrant advocacy group.

This so called judge belongs to a bar association that lists nclr as an affiliate.

Furthermore he apparently sat on a board that awarded scholarships to illegal immigrants

Trump was right in questioning this judges impartiality. Anyone who says they would trust a judge with ties to illegal immigrant advocacy groups to preside over their case with impartiality if they were proposing heavy deportation and a border wall is a liar.

This was one of the most embarrassing episodes of the election because I saw typically level headed people unscrupulously (to use your word) feign indignation over this nothing burger.

I expect an L.A. ban in 3...2...1...

"so called judge" - He is a United States District Court Judge.

"lists nclr as an affiliate" - Lie X 2. That doesn't make it true. I posted their Bar Association page for you. Prove it.

ETA: In an edit to a previous post, I also posted Judge Curiel's Wiki page with footnotes which also confirms that the California La Raza Bar Association group is not affiliated with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).

The only nothing burger on here is you. You just make this stuff up as you go along.

At least you don't have to wonder why people call you names. You are as dumb as a box of rocks and a shitty troll as well.

Like I said, you're just miffed because I pointed out you were wrong.

If that makes me dumb as a box of rocks, what does that make you?

From wiki:

UnidosUS, formerly National Council of La Raza (NCLR) (La Raza),[1] is the United States's largest Latino nonprofit advocacy organization. It advocates in favor of progressive public policy changes including immigration reform, a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and reduced deportations

It's on their links and affiliates page, directly links nclr, as I already told you.

Reality? Dunno , it was reported and sourced at the time of this nothingburger. It's not my job to catch you up on year and a half old news.

I've never seen anyone work so hard to be wrong about everything.

Here is their website link and they don't have a links and affiliates page. LINK

Here's a quote from the lawyer who represented the NCLR from the Forbes article I've already linked:

quote:

---

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) was a client of mine many years ago. It’s a distinguished organization, the predominant, mildly center left, old line Latino civil rights organization. (NCLR called upon me to help it find abundant funding for its national charter school initiative, and we did.) NCLR has no connection to the group using the name “La Raza” with which Judge Curiel was loosely connected nor to many small groups who go by that name.

---

From the Washington Post.

quote:

---

As The Post and other media outlets have pointed out repeatedly, Curiel is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, which is a professional organization for Latino lawyers. The group is the San Diego local affiliate of the California La Raza Lawyers Association, whose membership comprises lawyers practicing in California, and is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade organization. It has an affiliated 501(c)(3) scholarship fund that awarded 22 scholarships totaling $34,000 in 2014. More on that later.

This group is not the National Council of La Raza, the Hispanic civil rights nonprofit organization that has pushed for comprehensive immigration reform in Congress with a pathway to citizenship and legalization for undocumented immigrants. It’s often referred to as simply “La Raza,” especially in the context of the immigration debate.

California La Raza Lawyers Association does.

So the California La Raza site (not the San Diego La Raza site) has the NCLR listed as one of the eighteen entities on its links and affiliates site.

Do you think that make all 18 of those entities affiliates?

You just hang real tight on that -- and disregard the Forbes and WaPost quotes from people who are from NCLR saying the two groups are separate and not affiliated.

It makes you a lying sack of shite and you're still dumb as a rock. You keep quoting the same bullshite article. You must enjoy being called names and thought of as an idiot.

The bull shite article I quoted was from Forbes, and the person that was quotedin the article was a lawyer who represents NCLR, and who said that the law association that Curiel belonged to was NOT associated with NCLR.

quote:

---

The San Diego chapter belongs to the California chapter.

It's ok to go ahead and admit you are wrong. I know this was one of the foundational beliefs in your dislike of the president. But sometimes we have to grow and accept we were fooled. I recommend you do. Youll be better off for it.

I posted a quote from Forbes from a lawyer who represents NCLR who said that the bar association that Curiel belongs to is not associated with NCLR.

I posted a WaPost article with quotes from 2 people who said that the organizations were not related:

quote:

---

“The only tie that we have is that we serve the Latino community, and they do as well,” said Luis Osuna, president of the lawyers association. “But they’re a politically driven advocacy group, and we’re just a local diversity Bar association that focuses on both diversity and equality in the legal field, but particularly among Latinos.”

Lisa Navarette, a spokeswoman for the National Council of La Raza, confirmed this, saying: “The two organizations know of each other but are two completely separate organizations, and nothing wrong with either organization. The judge is not a member of NCLR, but there wouldn’t be any issue if he was.”

---

All you posted was that the NCLR was one of eighteen entities listed on the links and affiliates section of the California La Raza web site.

Lets see. I have quotes from three people with direct knowledge of the situation, and you have a single listing out of eighteen listed "links and affiliates" from a website.

It's not even close. You are the loser.
