Say No to Perez

Yesterday, radical Hispanic activists in Washington threatened Republican senators with electoral retribution for challenging President Obama’s nomination of Thomas Perez to be the next Secretary of Labor.

Such threats are noteworthy for two reasons:  First, they are being made by radical Latino agitators on behalf of one of their own.  Among the many reasons for rejecting Perez for any high office is that, as president of a group called Casa de Maryland, he has – like many of them – actively helped subvert U.S. immigration law.

Second, we are on notice that such self-styled “leaders” of the Hispanic community will use any additional political power to harm the GOP.  For Republicans contemplating giving amnesty to untold millions of illegal immigrants in the expectation it will bring them new voters, I have one word: Fuggedaboutit.
