Gives Millions of Dollars To Pro-Amnesty Group LaRaza (The Race)

Bill Status
Name: H.R. 1999
This bill is in the first step of the legislative process. It has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.

Summary Information

United States Representative Ruben Hinojosa from Texas has introduced a bill that will fund the pro-illegal immigration group: The National Council of La Raza (NCLR). This bill, the Hope Fund Act of 2007 (H.R. 1999) would appropriate $5 million to NCLR in 2008 and $10 million each year thereafter.

The Hope Fund Act is a grant to be used by NCLR for economic development projects and to “conduct such other activities as may be determined by the Secretary and the National Council of La Raza.” This final item is an open door for NCLR to utilize the funds beyond the specific outlines of the bill. This bill gives your hard-earned tax payer dollars to an activist group who promotes crimes such as illegal immigration and utterly disregards the rule of law.
