In Texas, the Border Patrol will be checking the immigration status of evacuees during Hurricanes. Meaning if you aren’t in the country legally you don’t get evacuated unless you want to run the risk of getting deported. Nothing like looking out for your fellow human beings during a crisis. Link from the NY Times and "Border Patrol to Check for Illegal Immigrants During Hurricane Evacuations" from yesterday
Following yesterday’s report out of Houston on the finding that the "Loss of illegal immigrants would cripple economy" a commentary today brings up a good point. How can we trust any study’s findings when everyone is basically guessing how many illegal immigrants are in the country? Link
In Mexico, the military had to move into the town of Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua after the police commander and 2 officers were killed and the rest resigned or fled. Link
85 people were sentenced yesterday on federal felony charges after last week’s raid in Postville, Iowa. Link
Esquire magazine has an article entitled: "For every race in America, there’s another racial barrier. Ernesto Quiñonez examines the often contentious divide between Latinos and African-Americans." The title says it all. Link
Following yesterday’s speech by John McCain concerning Cuba comes an article from a Florida paper entitled: "Cuban policy becomes key in courtship of Latinos."

From Reuters comes an article about how Puerto Rico is relishing the new-found clout that the island has in the race for the democratic nomination. Its 55 delegates may tip the balance. Still, I find it ironic that they can’t vote in the general election. Link plus Richardson is in Puerto Rico for Obama
The University of Southern California has created a new center called the Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. The announcment came at the “Immigrant Integration and the American Future: Lessons From and for California" conference. Link
As much news as I cover, I hadn’t realized that Peru’s President Alejandro Toledo had been a child laborer. Interesting interview with him from Foreign Policy. Link
And finally, RBD’s Dulce María will make her big screen debut in the movie Una Vez Más from the producer of La Mujer de Mi Hermano Link
