State Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Huntington Park) pretends to care about immigrants.
However, Lara does not know the difference between legal residents and illegal aliens.
Immigrant at its core implies respect, honor, and a distinct recognition of the the rule of law.
Men and women do not flee their home countries for any arbitrary reason.
Lara exploits individuals who live in the country legally. If he could tell the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens, he would stop enabling rampant lawlessness in his senate district.
He does not care about immigrants. He does not care about the rule of law. He takes from those who work and makes more people who depend on someone else.
Where is the liberty in that? Where is the truth or justice in taking away from people the dignity of legal status and work?
I will also submit to you that Ricardo Lara not only does not care about immigrants — he has done nothing for Nick the Greek, who established "Immigrants Day" as a public law — he is racist
He does not care about Hispanics. He certainly has no respect for Hispanic culture.
His latest article shamed Hispanic residents in his district and throughout the country, because the two major Spanish language television networks did not cover President Barack Obama's final State of the Union.
Media Matters for America reports:
All of the major broadcast and cable networks in the U.S. suspended their programming on January 12 to air President Obama's last State of the Union address. All except Univisión and Telemundo, which instead aired their regularly scheduled telenovelas.
Let's acknowledge the truth: the novelas are more entertaining and accurate. The fictions flowing out of Obama's mouth put most Americans to sleep, and many more simply turned off their TVs.
No one listens to Obama. No one respects him. He is a legend in his own mind and ears, yet for all his talk, the world is less safe, prosperous, or concordant.

Nevertheless, Lara shamed the Hispanic television networks:
Univision aired the President's State of the Union address on live TV. Are
Novelas, which perpetuate sexism, racism, homophobia and classism, more
important than the civic engagement and education of our community? This is a
blatant missed opportunity and disservice to Latinos during such a crucial
presidential election year. This is simply unacceptable and I call on the
executives at all major Spanish-language broadcast outlets to do the community
a service and carry this important address in years to come!
