Hector Flores was elected National President of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) on June 29, 2002, in Houston. Flores is a supporter of racial preference policies and worked as a minority recruitment specialist for the second largest urban school district in Texas. From 1973-1983, Flores was an Equal Opportunity Specialist for the Office of Civil Rights within the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Established in 1929, LULAC is one of the nation's oldest Mexican-American associations. During its first four decades, it was a patriotic, pro-American, pro-citizenship, pro-assimilation group that supported the deportation of illegal Mexican immigrants. But the radical politics of the 1960s changed all this, and LULAC has moved ever further to the left of the political spectrum during the past forty years. Today it is part and parcel of the Open Borders Lobby, which is composed of organizations determined to remove all restrictions on immigration into the United States and to grant amnesty to illegal aliens already living in this country. Even in the post 9/11 world, when open borders would grant aspiring terrorists the freedom to operate without any fear of detection, LULAC aggressively pushes its far-left agenda of mass, unchecked immigration.
Flores' ascendancy to the head of the group reflects its transformed politics. He favors offering illegal immigrants an opportunity to become permanent legal residents. "Undocumented immigrants that are working in the United States are making a valuable contribution to our economy and our country, and should have their status legalized."
LULAC receives large amounts of funding from major funding institutions like the Ford Foundation.
