“The National Council of La Raza is troubled by the increasingly strident
tone of the debate over Miguel Estrada’s nomination to the U.S. Court of
Appeals. While NCLR remains neutral on the nomination itself, we urge the
two sides on this issue not to engage in name-calling and accusatory
language but to focus on the substantive issues and merits of this
nomination. In particular, since the Latino community is clearly divided on
the Estrada nomination, we find the accusation that one side or another is
“anti-Latino” to be particularly divisive and inappropriate.”
