President-elect Barack Obama has appointed the senior VP of open-borders group La Raza (”the race”) to a White House post. Cecilia Munoz will apparently “oversee the White House office responsible for relations between the administration and state and local governments.”

Munoz, meanwhile, will oversee the White House office responsible for relations between the administration and state and local governments. The 2000 MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” winner is a senior vice president at the National Council of La Raza, a leading Hispanic civil rights group. There, she has spearheaded many of the organization’s immigration initiatives. Currently, she is in charge of the group’s entire advocacy and legislative agenda.

“We’re continuing to build a White House team that can rise to the challenges facing this country — and I couldn’t be more excited to announce Jon and Cecilia,” Obama said. “I’m confident that at a critical time in our history, this White House will restore openness and accountability to our executive branch and help to put government back in the hands of the people it serves.”

A post-election analysis by Karl Rove found that around 4 million fewer Republicans voted in 2008 as compared to 2004. I certainly hoped that number didn’t include Republicans staying home to punish McCain over his immigration stance. Obama was/is no better. Actually, he can prove to be much worse.
