Non-Fiction, Conservative Latino politics during the era of which the Republican Party was overrun by Isolationism, Nativism and Anti-Intellectual populism brought by the Tea parties. Lauro Garza, a retired police detective, became a political blogger and internet talk show host in Texas Republican politics with the intention of thwarting the downward spiral away from the, then, growing Latino voting bloc and toward radicalism and xenophobic nativism. During the few years from 2005 and until 2013, Garza was involved in both Texas and national Republican politics and was a leader in Texas Conservative Latino politics but quit the party in October 2011 in protest to horrid, bigoted and threatening language by Republican Presidential candidate, Herman Cain, went without rebuke from Republican leadership. The outrageous behavior of other Republicans and more notably, Donald Trump, should came as no surprise to Garza based upon the growing anti-Latino sentiment and unbridled xenophobia he witnessed beginning in the mid-2000s with the likes of Tom Tancredo.
Garza's many predictions have been proven correct because he understood the true nature of this bigotry and exactly who was driving it: The John Tanton Network. That network which had leadership in the Mitt Romney and Donald Trump campaigns is made of up of several organizations with innocuous sounding names, FAIR, NumbersUSA, and Progressives for Immigration Reform, for example, were all founded by Dr. John Tanton and his population control advocates who are also, like Tanton, white supremacists. It was obvious to Garza, having been a US Customs agent, that their agenda first seen in Arizona was to attack population growth by attacking the ethnic group that had the most rapid growth: Latinos. The "Anti-Illegal Immigration" effort was merely a smoke screen or a "bait and switch" for a much larger population control effort that includes, as Tanton himself put it, ...put persons with Northern European heritage in the majority.
That is the agenda, the antithesis of the Pro-Life movement, that has taken over the Republican Party or, perhaps, was embraced by Republican leadership at the deliberate expense of the Latino vote and now, Latino and minority rights with attacks on the Article One of the Constitution and the Fourteenth amendment.
Garza also includes here a number of essays regarding Pro-Life issues; the rise of the crypto-libertarian movement which later became the Tea parties; Second amendment discussions; many criticisms of the Obama administration and discussions of cultural interest to Latinos of Mexican heritage. Also included are photos of Garza with several public figures including, then, Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Lauro Garza is married, has two adult daughters and resides in Katy, Texas.
