Hispanic Media Help Community Navigate 'Anti-Immigrant' Climate

SAN FRANCISCO -- Hispanic media, which played a key role in mobilizing immigrants over the last two years – from encouraging millions to participate in national marches to letter writing and citizenship campaigns – now face a daunting task.

With federal immigration reform out of reach until 2009, and an increasing number of local “anti-immigrantâ€

Does it appear strange to anyone else that with 12 - 20 million illegal immigrants in the country that NONE of their leaders have spoken out to say they were wrong to break U.S. law, and that they should return home?

The attorney also stressed the necessity for Latinos to become acculturated and learn English.

What a novel idea. Wish I would have thought of it.

If the Spanish media want to help illegals they should tell the illegals to go home and apply to enter the country legally.

[quote]La Opinión also points a finger at the AFL-CIO, saying that, “in rejecting the guest worker program, the AFL-CIO neglected to give the benefit of the doubt to a project that could have helped millions of exploited workers.â€

"there was no coordinated effort to call senators as there was among opponents of the bill. "


They had hispanic radio stations, hispanic TV stations, hispanic newspapers, hispanic magazines, hispanic activists, hispanic internet sites, hispanic SENATORS, hispanic members of the cabinet such as Chertoff, and organizations such as La Raza, etc, etc, etc.

We had the internet, some radio talk shows.....AND OURSELVES.

Just goes to prove how PRODUCTIVE AMERICANS ARE compared to the criminally confused population of the illegals and their advocates.

With the MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS they receive, you would have thought they would have spent it a lot more wisely instead of thinking busloads of chanting illegals and their marches would be enough to browbeat Americans. Oh wait, they probably aren't accountable to the federal government in terms of how they SPEND OUR MONEY so the remainder of those millions are probably sitting in their personal bank accounts.

They call themselves "civil rights groups" yet they thought a few million of them marching would scare us into handing them America on a silver platter.
