Works for the The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC):
CNSNews.com) - The oldest and largest Hispanic "civil rights" organization in the U.S. is defending a website that labels some opponents of illegal immigration as "racists, cowards" and "domestic terrorists." The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) said Tuesday that it launched the site to give immigration control activists "a taste of their own medicine."
As Cybercast News Service previously reported, LULAC launched the WeAreRacists.com website on Dec. 14, 2005. The website was intended as a response to members of the "Herndon Minutemen" and HelpSaveHerndon.org, who were photographing and videotaping contractors hiring day laborers at a new taxpayer-funded facility on public property in Herndon, Va.
Other chapters of the nationwide Minuteman Project have been conducting similar operations and posting some photos online. George Taplin, president of the Herndon Minutemen, told Cybercast News Service that the photos taken by his group's members are kept confidential.
The various Minutemen chapters use the documentary evidence they gather to lodge complaints against unlicensed contractors and to request that government agencies verify that all of the contractors are paying appropriate taxes and providing required workers' compensation insurance for the laborers they hire.
The LULAC-sponsored website accuses the Minutemen of being "racists, cowards, un-Americans (sic), vigilantes, [and] domestic terrorists," because of their efforts.
On Friday, the WeAreRacists.com domain name no longer linked to the website, but the singular version of the name - WeAreRacist.com - took visitors to the original home page. LULAC also added photos of Minutemen from Burbank City, Calif., Framingham, Mass., and Denton, Texas to the page that previously displayed only photos of the Herndon Minutemen.
