Latina Lista: Will Latino Teen Lobby Group Send the Right Message to Congress when Asking to Stop Immigration Raids?
Tagged: blog, children, deportation, La Raza, Latina Lista, LULAC, prison, RaidsPosted on: February 22nd, 2007“It was only a matter of time before some in the Latino community would feel that they had to take a more public and vocal stance against the wave of immigrant deportations sweeping the country that are breaking up families, imprisoning children, and spearheading fear and intimidation in Latino-dominant communities across the nation.
Some of us expected a stronger effort to be led by LULAC or the National Council of La Raza. Yet, probably because of the political sensitivity of the issue these major organizations have held back – preferring to wait Congress out and issuing only press releases and holding court with press conferences.”
