“I just want to again just clarify that one of the misleading advertisements that is out there being presented to the public is that there are various Hispanic national organizations that are in support of Mr. Estrada and his nomination. I would like to just clarify that many of those organizations have bipartisan representation, and I would venture to say that many of them happen to agree with the Hispanic caucus position. I have personally spoken to members of the GI quorum, the LULAC organization in my own State, and talked to various other organizations. So the ones that are purporting to say that they as Hispanic organizations are the voice for Hispanics alone I think is very misleading. I will not say that I am the voice for all Hispanics in the country, no. But I do want to make it very clear that one of the premises behind our caucus, the Hispanic caucus, is that we support the advancement of our community through means of protecting our rights and our liberties in this country, through actions that the court has taken to provide us with our civil rights, the right to vote, the right to be able to lead a life here in this country.”
