Internet Video: Latino Power Politics and Immigration

“What role does the Catholic Church play in Latino power politics and the illegal immigration issue? These are some of the questions addressed in an nine (9) minute Internet Video comprised of video clips from Full Disclosureâ„¢ interviews with Dr.Fernando Guerra of Loyola Marymount University and California Senator Dick Mountjoy (ret). This video is available for viewing free “on demand” 24/7 at the URL: www.fulldisclosure.net/flash/411-412_Mountjoy.htm as a public service of the Full Disclosure Networkâ„¢.

When asked about Latino power politics and the Catholic Church, Loyola Marymount University’s Fernando Guerra said “the Cardinal feels a responsibility, as do most of the Church hierarchy, that they have to educate their parishioners on what they believe are important issues” and he went on to say that while the Catholic Church, the Archdiocese, never directly spent money in the campaign against Proposition 187 (1994) they do utilize their resources to try to mobilize Catholics in general and Latinos specifically.

Senator Mountjoy points out the special interests of the U. S. banking industry and how they and the Mexican economy are benefiting from illegal immigration to the United States. Also appearing in this video are Nativo Lopez of the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) and Xavier Reyes of CHIRLA who explain why they believe it is important to issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants.
