When he was running for president this year, many dismissed Richardson as someone simply angling to become Clinton&#8217;s VP. He did seem deferential towards her during some of the debates. So it was a shock when he endorsed Obama in late March. A sputtering Bill Clinton, who spent Super Bowl Sunday trying to get Richardson to endorse his wife, was furious. One Clinton loyalist, James Carville, likened Richardson to Judas. Picking Richardson, who is Hispanic, might be an inspired choice, but it could anger the Clinton camp. (Still, don&#8217;t rule out Richardson as the running mate.) </a> </p>

Key issues in Arizona are likely to be dominated by the economy as well as immigration. With a quickly growing Hispanic population, the candidate who is able to capture this demographic will have a big advantage on election night. </a> </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>I get many e-mails and read many comments from anti-immigrant folk who want to deport all illegal immigrants. That is fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but  I want to know who would foot the bill.</p>
<p> Last September in testimony before a Senate committee, ICE stated that &#34;<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/09/12/deportation.cost/">It would cost at least <strong>$94 billion</strong> to find, detain and remove all 12 million people believed to be staying illegally in the United States</a>.&#34;</p>
<p>While that is a rough calculation, it can't be denied that it is a large number. It does not take into consideration the economic (or social) ripple effect of removing that many people who may/or may not work, contribute to social security, pay taxes, shop, have kids in school, etc. Nor does it take into consideration how much money communities, health services etc might save. This is just a big number with huge implications.</p>
<p>So who is going to pay? Isn't our country in enough debt and fiscal trouble that we can't rub our brains together to come up with a smarter solution. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"Schera's Citizens of Dade United is among a growing cohort of anti-illegal immigration groups in Florida trying different tactics to drive out undocumented immigrants. They have turned to legislators in Tallahassee for help in the wake of Washington's inability to find a solution.<br />
<br />
''I feel like a little guy at the bottom of the dam with my finger plugged in the dike,'' said Schera, 80, vice-president of the group. ``I know what's going to happen if I pull my finger out, only instead of a trillion tons of water it will be a trillion tons of people.''<br />
<br />
After mounting a somewhat solitary fight for three decades in Miami, the city with the nation's highest percentage of foreign-born residents, Schera now has company."</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"Saturdays are usually a good day to have huevos con chorizo and beans. Unfortunately, that Saturday I ran out of chorizo, which is a kind of Mexican sausage, so I decide to get on my green and black motorcycle and go in search of chorizo in this “all American city.” Not long after rambling around for a while in the streets of Tallahassee, the sign of a store, “La Moreliana,” appeared next to the CompUSA sign. I promptly parked my two-wheeled vehicle and went into the store. "</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"As the Democratic presidential candidates prepare to debate tonight, a new poll released today shows that a candidate's position on education will have a greater impact on Latino voters than their position on any other issue -- including immigration and health care -- and that Latinos are nearly unanimous that improving public education should be a "very important priority" for the next president. The poll surveyed 1,026 registered Latino voters.

"The Latino community is increasingly showing its desire to help shape the future of our country at the ballot box," said Janet Murguia, President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. and steering committee member for ED in '08, a nonpartisan campaign to raise awareness of education issues in the 2008 presidential race campaign. "What this poll makes clear is that Latinos believe the key to our future is improving the quality of public school education and will vote for the candidate with the best comprehensive plan to do that."

"Presidential candidates have been largely silent about our failure to give our children the skills to be ready to succeed in college, career and life," said Roy Romer, Chairman of ED in '08, "If the presidential candidates want to respond to the priorities of Latinos and demonstrate they are ready to be president, they can start tonight by talking about their plans to get our children ready to succeed in college, career and life."

Other Key Findings in this poll include: -- Latino voters consider the high dropout rate among Latino students to be the greatest educational problem for the Latino community in the U.S. -- Half of those surveyed declared that they considered the quality of public schools to be "mediocre" or "poor." -- While generally rating teachers positively, more than 80% of the Latino electorate feels that one way to improve public education in America is to hire more teachers with expertise in the subjects they will teach.

The poll was co-sponsored by ED in '08 and the National Council of La Raza and released at the NCLR's annual convention in Miami.

ED in '08/National Council of La Raza Poll of Hispanic Voters July 23, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The results and findings in this executive summary are based on a public opinion survey of 1,026 registered Hispanic voters in the United States. The interviews in both English and Spanish were conducted July 18-20 of this year by professionally-trained, bilingual interviewers. The sample of the survey was designed to be representative of the national Latino electorate. It includes voters born not only in the United States but also in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Central America and South America. The survey interviewed Latino voters in 24 states. The margin of error of the poll is approximately three percentage points.

MAJOR FINDINGS

1. Education is the most important issue for Hispanic voters. Forty-one percent of all voters and almost half of voters with children in the public schools indicated that the positions of a candidate on educational issues would have the greatest impact on their presidential vote. Education was considered significantly more important than other issues that receive much greater press coverage like the Iraq war and health care.

2. An overwhelming majority of Latino voters -- 89 percent -- felt that improving the quality of public education should be a "very important" priority for our next president.

3. Hispanic voters consider that the "high dropout rate" among Hispanic students is the greatest educational problem for the Latino community in the United States. More than 85 percent rate it as a very important problem. The "high dropout rate" concerns more Latino voters than other important problems like the "poor English-language skills of immigrant students" and the "poor quality of some teachers." The importance of this is better understood when we consider that more than half of all Latino parents with children in school are personally worried that their children will drop out of school. Immigrant parents are even more concerned -- two-thirds of them worry that their children will soon drop out of school.

4. A substantial percentage of Hispanic voters give negative ratings to the public education system in the United States. Almost half of those interviewed declared that they considered the quality of the public schools to be "mediocre" or "poor." Native-born Latino voters are more likely to give the public education system negative ratings than their foreign-born counterparts. Almost a quarter of Hispanics with school children complain that students are not receiving enough support at the school that they attend.

5. In contrast to the previous finding, Hispanic voters rate the quality of teachers in the public schools positively. More than 60 percent of them give public school teachers a rating of "excellent" or "good." When asked to identify the most important reason that there are some low quality teachers in the public schools, the largest group of Latino voters suggests that it is because "teachers are not paid enough." Nevertheless, more than eighty percent of the Hispanic electorate feels that one way to improve public education in America is to hire more teachers with expertise in the subjects that they will teach.

6. Latino parents accept a significant share of the responsibility for the problems that their children encounter in the public schools. Our poll indicates that the "lack of parental involvement in their children's education" is considered to be one of the two most important educational problems facing the Hispanic community. It is also revealing that almost half of Hispanics with children in school feel that parents, like themselves, are most responsible for the high dropout rate among Hispanic students.

7. A majority of Latino voters thinks that Latino students need to be held to higher academic expectations -- like attending more difficult classes. Only one-third of those interviewed feared that holding Latinos to higher academic expectations could result in many Hispanic students failing and dropping out of school. The study also reveals that most Latinos are not quite aware of the serious difficulties faced by Hispanic students. Only one-seventh of those interviewed was aware that a recent study reported that the average 17-year- old Hispanic student has math and reading skills that are equal to the math and reading skills of an average 13 year old White Anglo student.

OTHER FINDINGS

1. Latino voters are supportive of students spending more time in school to give those that are falling behind time to catch up and to better prepare themselves for college.

2. Latino parents of children in ESOL programs (limited English skills) give very high marks to the quality of the English language education program their children attend.

Latino Students Deserve Stronger Schools

Latino families depend on good K-12 schools for the learning that leads to lifelong opportunities. But Latino students are far less likely to attend strong schools that prepare them for college, work, and life.

Too many Latino students face low standards and unqualified teachers. -- Almost 5 million of the nation's Latino students attend schools in states that have set proficiency standards so low in fourth grade reading that they fall below even the most basic level on a national assessment.(1) -- Academic courses in high-Latino high schools are nearly twice as likely to be taught by teachers who lack a degree in the subject they teach compared with classes in high schools with few Latino students.(2)

Poor education leads to low achievement, high dropout rates, and reduced opportunities for Latinos after high school.

-- Less Learning. Just one in ten Latino eighth graders reads at a proficient level, and more than half of Latino 4th graders read below the basic level. By the time they near graduation, Latino teenagers have math and reading skills that are no higher than those of White middle school students.(3) -- Too Many Dropouts. A study just released by Education Week found that just over half of Latino 9th graders graduate from high school with their peers.(4) -- Not Ready For College. Latino graduates are only about half as likely as White students to leave high school adequately prepared for four- year colleges.(5) In states such as Florida and California, the problem is worse: -- About 70% of Latinos who enter Florida's community colleges are unprepared for higher education and are forced to take remedial math, reading, or writing courses -- more than twice the rate of White students.(6) Across all Florida colleges, 61% of Latino freshmen have to take remedial courses. Each year, Latino families pay nearly $2 million in tuition for those courses, which teach skills that students should have learned in high school and earn them no credit toward a college degree.(7) -- In March, the California State University system reported that 62% of Latino freshmen who enrolled in fall 2006 had to take remedial courses in English and 53% had to take remedial math.(8) -- Low College Completion. At the current college enrollment and completion rates, out of every 100 Latino kindergartners, only 10 will obtain at a bachelor's degree.(9)

The solution is rigorous standards, effective teachers in every classroom, and more time and support for learning. Visit http://www.edin08.com/ to learn more.

Rigorous American Education Standards: -- A 2006 study by Education Week found that states that had raised academic standards over the past decade were more likely to see gains in math and reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.(10) -- A national study found that high schools with a more rigorous curriculum have lower dropout rates than those that allow students to take lots of low-level courses. For every two low-level math courses a high school offers, students experience a 30% greater probability of dropping out.(11) Effective Teachers in Every Classroom: -- Economists estimate that assigning disadvantaged students to good teachers rather than average teachers for 4 to 5 years in a row would entirely close the achievement gap.(12) More Time and Support for Learning: -- Students in KIPP schools get about 60 percent more class time than their peers, and the results are impressive: In Washington, D.C., KIPP fifth graders improved so much in just one year that they rose from the bottom 15 percent to the top 25 percent of students in the nation.(13) -- A national study found that high schools where teachers provide students with high levels of support manage to cut dropout rates in half. It found that support is especially important for disadvantaged students who generally drop out at much higher rates.(14)

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., today released the text of a letter to President Bush signed by more than 100 Latino grassroots organizations expressing their deep concern over the short- and long-term impact of stepped-up immigration raids on the children in affected families. The organizations in the communities where these raids have occurred are often the first to respond to the humanitarian crisis created by these events. Below is the text of the letter:

President George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

We, the undersigned Latino organizations, write to express our outrage and deep concern over the manner in which workplace raids have been conducted all across the United States in the past few months. As organizations that work closely with the communities that are directly impacted by these raids, we are often the first to respond to the immediate humanitarian crisis that occurs when a raid is conducted. Particularly, we are concerned about the raids&#8217; short- and long-term impact on children. There are approximately 3.1 million U.S. citizen children who have at least one undocumented parent, and there are 1.8 million undocumented children in the U.S. We believe that the U.S. must take the needs of these children into account and fix the broken immigration system that separates them from their parents.

Workplace raids leave a long-lasting impact, not only on the local economy, but on the children who are separated from their parents as a result of a raid. Recently, thousands of immigrant workers have been detained as the result of raids. Many of these workers are parents of young children, many of whom are U.S. citizens. While it is our understanding that single parents are occasionally released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody to care for their children, there are many parents who are transported to ICE detention facilities far from their homes, and their family members have no ability to communicate with them.

In the aftermath of the raids, churches, schools, and social service agencies have scrambled to determine which workers have children, assess which children must be picked up from day care and school, find caregivers for the children, and provide basic health and nutrition services. In addition to providing basic necessities, advocates have encountered other problems trying to care for the children of detained parents. For example, after the Swift and Co. raids in December 2006, advocates highlighted cases in which they were not able to interview parents to determine any special needs their children may have. It has also been difficult, if not impossible, for advocates to gather information about sick children who needed medication. Following the recent raid in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a dehydrated infant was hospitalized because her mother had not been able to breastfeed her. Family members or friends have been put in the difficult position of having to care for the children of detained parents, and teenage children have been placed in the unfortunate and unfair position of having to care for younger siblings on their own.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick correctly characterized the recent raids as a &#8220;humanitarian crisis.&#8221; Our children deserve better, and it is up to the Administration and Congress to deliver to them a sound immigration policy that does not result in parents being separated from their children. The time is long overdue for our nation to stop tearing apart these hardworking families and bring about real, comprehensive solutions to our immigration problems. We strongly urge you to work with Congress to bring about an immigration reform that will allow immigrant workers to work legally, American communities to prosper, and children to thrive.

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"WHAT:   The Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Washington, D.C.-
            based National Hispanic CREO, and the National Coalition of Latino
            Clergy &#038; Christian Leaders (CONLAMIC), will join Step Up for
            Students at a march for education in the Capitol Courtyard to
            bring attention to Florida's education and workforce crisis and
            its impact on the state's Latino population.

    WHEN:   Education Rally - Thursday, April 12, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
            Interview opportunities - 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
            (Visit Media Tent at event for interviews or call now to
            schedule.)

    WHERE:  Florida State Capitol - Capitol Courtyard
            Tallahassee, FL

    WHY:    Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Hispanic CREO, and
            CONLAMIC have joined forces:

            1) To advocate, protect, and expand initiatives that will allow
               Florida parents to choose a school that will best meet their
               children's needs regardless of their socio-economic condition;
               and

            2) To inform legislators of the crisis in low achievement rates
               among Latino students and the urgency in which they must act to
               better prepare Florida's future workforce.

            "Fifty percent of Florida's Hispanic children are not graduating
            high school, and a staggering 94 percent of Florida's Hispanic
            students who go to college drop out. This is happening at a time
            when our nation needs to provide our young people with an
            extraordinary education, yet our school system is failing to
            properly equip our youth," reports Julio Fuentes, President of the
            Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Satellite Feed Coordinates will be issued Tuesday,
April 11. Spanish- and English-language interviews and rally b-roll will be
available from 3:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. EDT, Thursday, April 12, 2007.
    CONTACT: Margaret Garcia or Denise Herrera-Wieters, 210-226-2827/"</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"The minority population at Florida State University is growing and more Hispanic and Latino students are choosing FSU.

Nearly 10 percent or 4,000 student at FSU are Hispanic. That is up by more than a thousand over the number of Hispanic stuednts enrolled just five years ago. This also maybe due to the 3 million Hispanics that now call Florida home."</blockquote>
