“And so I am driving around the city last week talking to immigrants and baseball fans when my colleague, a visiting journalist from Mexico City, turns to me and says: It is my dream to end illegal immigration.

With that sentence a door opens and a view from the other side of the border revealed.

Evangelina Hernández is a co-editor at El Universal, a major Mexican daily. She is 42; her father is a tractor-trailer driver, her mother stayed home to raise Evangelina and her four siblings. Evangelina received her master’s degree in politics and communication and has been a journalist for 22 years.”*

Still, there are issues in which a Latino lens slides into place. Education is one. It doesn't surprise me that Latinos consistently rank education as the No. 1 issue. It must be, when 30 percent to 50 percent of Hispanic students are dropping out of high school and Latinos are the largest and fastest growing population in the country. A plus B equals disaster.

Latinos make up 20 percent of Colorado's population and 12 percent of its eligible voters - not a huge number but enough to tilt the balance in either Obama or McCain's favor.
