Border state
The support network struggles to catch up with Arkansas’s status as a prime destination for Latino immigrants.

In Arkansas politics and media, illegal immigration and the state’s growing Latino population are provoking intense debates.

The recent legislative session illustrated two ends of the ideological spectrum. One side wanted to enlist the State Police in enforcing immigration laws and prevent immigrants from accessing state services. Other lawmakers tried to extend public college scholarship eligibility to the children of undocumented residents.

Despite these actions and the heated rhetoric, most Arkansas Latinos are oblivious to the tension they are causing.

“One word they use a lot is ‘tranquilo,’ which means ‘tranquil,’ �
explains Carlos Cervantes. “The reason that they enjoy Arkansas is that they enjoy the small towns. They just feel real comfortable here.�

Cervantes is the owner of a recycling and technical equipment business who recently was elected Arkansas state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). He will take office next week, when LULAC holds its national convention in Little Rock.

That LULAC is bringing its most important annual gathering to Arkansas is an indication both of Latinos’ rising importance here and the attention that has attracted nationwide.

Arkansas has the second-fastest-growing Hispanic population in the country, which puts it on the crest of the next wave of Latino migration that is following initial settlement in Texas, California, and other states. As a result, the Mexican government has closed its consulate in New Orleans and is opening one in Little Rock.

“Little Rock is the border between Mexico and the U.S.,â€? said the Rev. Julio Barquero, who operates the Centro Cristiano Fellowship in Sherwood, and is the LULAC state chaplain. “Not Texas anymore â€â€

I'm speechless... I don't even know where to begin.

LULAC THINKS that Huckabee might be a good "prize" to get near, perhaps? Maybe they are confused and think Clinton lives there!

Oh....SILLY ME.....they are getting near Huckabee, Clinton, AND:

TYSON'S and WAL-MART....their "partners" in CRIME!!

BOYCOTT WAL-MART AND ALL CHICKEN!!

The former is ruining your livelihood and the latter will surely kill you!!

(Remember all those TB infested illegal workers in the chicken plants of Tyson foods--coughing all over your chicken nuggets!)

God...I could PUKE just thinking about it!!

ARKANSAS....GET READY FOR A HUGE DROP IN POPULATION BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL GOING HOME!!

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS NOW!!

I'm waiting for Sixx to read this one

THIS IS STILL AMERICA ISN''T IT?
THERE IS NO 'PRIME DESTINATION' FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS ANYWHERE! NONE OF YOU ARE WELCOME HERE! YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELVES ALOT OF TROUBLE BY JUST GOING HOME. GET OUT, BEFORE WE HAVE TO SPEND OUR MONEY DEPORTING YOU!!!!!

SInce this guy emailed me and SWORE Tyson does not hire illegals, I find it ironic that they have someone working for them that OPENLY PROMOTES hiring them! I sent this article and told him so! Email them and give them H_ _ _! They need to feel some heat!
