Thanks for your excellent information on Wonderful Actions and Bills that favor the Education of Latinos and their Legal stability.
I found a Big Story about Latino Education :
Video at YouTube : at the Center for American Progress Organization.
Several Panelists including Henry Cisneros, former Mayor of San Antonio, Also Janet Murgia, Sarita Brown, Nicolas Caneros
"Latinos and the Nation's Future", a new Book - a very excellent Long Video with several panelists
This book is less about Latinos and more about the Future of the USA. -- Latinos are the biggest Minority. "Latinos must succeed", and that would be good for the USA, otherwise the consequences are grave, economic backwardness in competition with China, India, etc ...
In 2025 the USA would be very diverse, and those working will be in great part Latinos. Most people in retirement will be White.
The American Latino Community must understand, that beyond Justice, Latinos have a commitment to a Great Future for America. They should integrate to the Larger American Society. This is the wrong time to build fences and block Minorities or the Middle Class.
This is a useful book for Planners of the Future, and for Futurologists.
The Presidential Election of 2008 was a test for Latinos. Big Latino turnout making a difference in many States. More that 10 million Latinos voted, three million more than in 2004.
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Florida went from Red ( Republican ) to Blue ( Democratic ).
A move in the right direction to start a Political Fight, that will help America for a better future.
We have to continue fighting to register new voters and growing the 10 million of voters. We have to continue with marches, emails, letters, phone calls, more Latino participation.
Latinos should work hard for Leverage and Clout.
Education is fundamental for the Future. Latinos should concentrate on Education, to produce a growing proportion of graduates.
Universities and Colleges need the Latino Youngsters to form a Great Future for the USA. Youth can not squandered. They have to receive Latinos not as "Specials" but as "Regular" and "Normal" students.
Latinos have been here much before the Mayflower and the Plymouth Rock. And America should stop thinking about Latinos as Foreigners and Immigrants.
Even in the Southeast Northeast, there were colonies of Spanish Speaking People before the United States was founded.
Nicolas Caneros : "We have to relax from the debate on Immigration for a minute and think this : "Latinos have been always here and they will stay""
Henry Cisneros : "The Election of Obama is a Techtonic Shift, it is Multicultural, it is Youth and for the Youngsters, Obama's Focus on Education and Health."
A Civilized country can not leave 12 million people in the shadows.
Young Children have been touched by a Person of Color as President, It is a push for diversity. A new sense of how a President can look like. All Children can be president, they can aspire to be president. Hope and Aspiration for Children.
Obama is the most Multicultural President that we ever had. He has lived in many cultures.
To compete with Great Technological Giants of the Future like India and China, the USA will take advantage of his big Population of Latino Youngsters.
