“there have been too many protests on the other side. The majority has said time and time again that they, the Republicans, treat the Hispanics well. I do not know why they have to keep saying that. The record speaks for itself. This side need not do so because our record does speak for itself. And that is the reason, as I said earlier, when people come--one Senator did come and talk about words to the effect I am not anti-Hispanic and then proceeded to lay out everything that was. That is why I thought I would come forward and talk about the fact that the Hispanic Caucus, which certainly could never be judged to be anti-Hispanic, has come out against this nomination, as have numerous other organizations: the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, and Hispanic organizations such as the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, Juan Figuera, President and General Counsel, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, National Council of La Raza, NCLR, National Puerto Rican Coalition, California La Raza Lawyers, Puerto Rican Bar Association of Illinois, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, Linda Chavez Thompson, AFL-CIO, 52 different Latino labor leaders, including people from all over the country from California to New York and places in between.”
