More News: With so much ‘data’ or pages HispanicTips can be a bit overwhelming, so I have made it a little easier to drill down to find the info you are looking for. What am I talking about? For example you can see all of the immigration stories I have posted from any state, say Colorado. In case you don’t remember, I have been working on making the state, metro and subject pages more useful by adding content such as maps and news automatically pulled from various sources. (Most of these pages have a Google PageRank of 5 or 6) For example Colorado or Los Angeles now have local interactive Google maps and ‘Hispanic’ news from local papers and other web sources. Some state pages also have links to subject posts found in that state like California Latinas news or Colorado Hispanic Media news. Subject pages like Business or Politics have all of this except for the interactive maps. Instead they have a map of the US so you can click on any state and see all the Business news for that state like Florida for example. I am still in the process of rolling this out so you won’t see it on every page yet but I had to share it with you because at least to me it just seems cool. Oh before I forget again, I wanted to thank all of you, my regular readers, for spending some small part of your day with HispanicTips. – Gracias, Tomás

News Summary: Weekly Review of Hispanic/Latino News: March 13th-19th, 2010 (view past ones) --»
Trying something new. Will see what happens! I actually had fun putting this together.
The big Hispanic/Latino news this week other than all the St. Patrick/Latino combos and Paquita la del Barrio saying about same-sex adoption, “I’d rather see a kid die.” is all the grassroots buildup to the big pro-immigration march in Washington DC tomorrow the 21st and our national leadership trying to be proactive before the march – I wish I were going but I probably will serve you the best by presenting you with the best news I can find.
Trends: Immigration Reform, Census, Violence in Mexico/Border Area and what I call “Our Future – Our People – Our Youth”

The Case for Immigration Reform – “On the eve of what may be the beginning of the immigration reform debate, are we a big enough country to consider the poor and desperate amongst us?
