It never fails, there is always some politician trying to sneak money to La Raza and other open border lobby groups in bills. The latest is the Federal Housing Bill which earmarks $10 million per year for "the race". And people wonder why illegal immigration is a problem in this country? It is no surprise, because politicians want it that way.

Imagine what a pro enforcement group could do with $10 million per year in funding.

The earmark is attributed to Rep Barney Frank (D-MA), better known as a pandering asshat.
