Hispanics steamed by shock radio stunt - (”La Cuca Gotcha” asks listeners to report suspected illegal immigrants in New Jersey)

“Hispanic political and community leaders are up in arms over a New Jersey radio show that is exhorting listeners to report suspected illegal immigrants to 101.5 FM or federal authorities.

The leaders say the radio station’s campaign — named “La Cuca Gotcha” — is clearly anti-Hispanic and may encourage racial profiling and other bias incidents against Hispanics.

“Its a despicable campaign and clearly slanted at Hispanics,” said Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo. “The campaign describes us as bugs that have to be stamped out.”"
