Once again Ruben Navarette has gotten it wrong… Read his full article here or better yet don’t, I will summarize it in a single sentence: both Democrats and Republicans are undeserving of the Hispanic vote, because they have taken this voting block for granted. This is nothing short of nonsense. It has been a difficult […]

Guest Blogger Series: Alicia Menendez “SB 1070: A Little Bit of History Repeating”
April 16, 2010 By
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is poised to sign the toughest immigration bill in the country. It is intended to terrify Arizona’s undocumented immigrants, but the consequences of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 aren’t limited to any one community. SB 1070 attacks and demeans the civil rights of every hard-working, tax-paying American citizen. And like every piece […]
