NOW. Politics & Economy. Latinos Now: A National Conversation from PBS

“NOW Senior Correspondent Maria Hinojosa, born in Mexican and raised in Chicago, gives her views on the debate about illegal immigration.

“This is the new civil rights movement,” a fellow journalist said to me excitedly. I could tell he felt as if he was witnessing real history being made. As a journalist that’s the kind of stuff you live for. He was pleased with it, happy to see hundreds of thousands of immigrants taking to the streets from Taos to Tennessee.

But his sentiments also gave me pause.”
