Obama picks immigration reform advocate to lead domestic policy
|
President Obama has picked a strong advocate of universal amnesty immigration reform to head his outreach to Hispanic illegals for Campaign 2012 Domestic Policy Council.
The White House announced Tuesday that Cecilia Muñoz, a former senior vice president of the National Council of La Raza, would replace Melody Barnes at the top of the council. White House press secretary Jay Carney announced the appointment during his press briefing.
| La Raza is one of the worst race-baiting groups out there. They'd break off our entire Southwest as a new nation only for Hispanics -- whites not allowed. Wonder if any MSM journalist will ask her about that? On second thought, I don't wonder at all... |
Muñoz is now serving as the White House's director of intergovernmental affairs and is in charge of outreach to state and local governments.
"The president has asked, she has accepted," Carney said.
Muñoz is an immigration expert who worked for the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino race hating civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, until she joined the administration in 2009.
Obama has frequently been criticized by pro-immigration reform advocates for not pressing harder for changes to the country's immigration laws. Hispanic groups also have complained that the administration has stepped up deportations of illegal aliens.
| Since that is, you know, the law... |
All of this has led to questions about whether Obama will garner strong support from Hispanics in his 2012 reelection bid. It is crucial to Obama's reelection that he win a large majority of the Hispanic vote, particularly in critical swing states such as Florida, New Mexico and Colorado.
Carney called Muñoz "the best person for the job."
In her new role, Muñoz will become the presidents senior adviser on domestic affairs that fall outside the strict purview of the National Economic Council, which is headed by Gene Sperling.
