Resolution
ARIZONA CONCENTRATION CAMPS
WhereaS, LULAC has worked for 77
years to bring dignity and justice to all in our
country; and
WhereaS,
the United States has not declared war against
Mexico nor is a civil war occurring in the U.S.,
and
WhereaS,
Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial candidate,
Don Goldwater, called for undocumented
immigrants to be placed into labor concentration
camps on the border and be forced to build a
wall,
Therefore
be it resolved, that LULAC
denounces this racist and repugnant attempt of
this Republican gubernatorial candidate to set
back human rights and dignity which the world
had denounced so many years ago.
LULAC will contact the leaders
of the Republican Party as well as other elected
officials to oppose this demeaning and racist
campaign call.
LULAC, which grew from the
brave men and women who fought in World War II,
does not wish that the USA return to past world
atrocities.
Adopted this 1st day of July
2006.
Rosa Rosales
LULAC National President |
