Talk about being all over the place. Yesterday, right after President Obama announced his administration's intentions to shift part of this country's immigration policy to allow a "deferred action" of two years that delays deportations and grants work permits for close to 1 million undocumented youth—1) who came to this country with their parents before […]

Yes, we understand that freedom of the press is an American right embedded in the Constitution. But at the same time, there is freedom of the press, and just plain being rude. Today at the White House, The Daily Caller's Neil Munro was rude. As President Obama talked about his administration's shift in immigration policy […]

Maybe the President should invite more journalists who want to pick a fight with him to the White House.

And here we go. This morning's statement by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano that will put a halt to the deportation of young undocumented immigrants who entered this country with their parents if they meet certain requirements has already gotten the reactions that we would expect: those who support real comprehensive reform (and are […]

Yesterday, after we reported a story that our constant requests to ask the United Farm Workers (UFW) a few basic questions about the use of a Budweiser logo under the organization's iconic "Sí se puede" symbol have been ignored and has also led to the UFW's Facebook page blocking our founder for posting the very same questions we […]

What planet do the lawyers for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio live on? In a 23-page response to a federal lawsuit that alleges the racial profiling and discrimination of US Latino citizens, Arpaio's lawyers offer the following argument as one of the reasons why the lawsuit should be dismissed: PLAINTIFFS' CLAIMS BASED ON LANGUAGE DISCRIMINATION […]

This afternoon, as a follow-up to a sit-in staged by DREAMers at the Obama for America office in Denver asking for an executive order by President Obama to stop the deportations of undocumented youth, the National Immigrant Youth Alliance released an update for today. Here are portions of the release. For a full copy of the […]

Tonight at Obama for America’s campaign office in Denver, two DREAMers who are supporting a walk across the country to raise awareness for undocumented youth, immigration reform, and the DREAM Act, staged a sit-in that attracted social media attention and led to four Denver police officers visiting the office. No arrests were made, and as […]

Yes, when we connected with Outernational a few weeks ago, we were honored to publish the second week of their TODOS SOMOS ILEGALES: WE ARE ALL ILLEGALS Tour. Guess what? Their music is badass, too. Check it out. THE BEGINNING IS HERE There comes a time, there comes a time!  To get up and out, […]

Since neither the UFW nor Anheuser-Busch will go on record after countless calls and emails by to comment about why the Budweiser logo appeared under the organization's iconic image, others are weighing in. There will be those who are still asking for answers and those who will defend the actions of the UFW because they are […]

We are getting several questions from our networks asking us the following question: what is #yosoy132? At the end of this post is the mission statement that we translated from the original Spanish. The Spanish version originally appeared on the Facebook page of #yosoy132 (May 24 post). More information can also be found here. In the meantime, […]

Eventually, you knew that someone at American Apparel would say something about the "California" ad which depicts a rugged real-life farmer named Raúl and his new USC student Robin. The ad caused some problems with many online Latinos, even leading one to create a new Undocumented Apparel line in response to the ad. In a story […]

Where was the outrage three years ago this week? Where was this country's outrage when 9-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father Raúl were killed by Shawna Forde, a leader of Arizona's Minutemen Civil Defense Corps? Sure, Forde has been convicted and sentenced to death, but the fact remains that Brisenia and Raúl are gone, victims […]

As with any organic movement, goals evolve. What might have begun as a march against Mexico's old guard PRI party is turning into a social movement that calls for true democracy, justice, transformation, and change, not only for Mexico, but for the whole world. This is #YoSoy132 and it is just starting. Some call it […]

First of all, this song is good. Second of all, this whole #MarchaSoy132 movement goes beyond Mexico's opposition to the PRI. This is about the country's political machine. It is clever and it works. Our favorite part? The English in the middle.

This is what was reported from the site of The Brown Berets of Watsonville, California. According to the group—which initiated the "No Se Puede" campaign against the United Farm Workers for having a Budweiser logo appear under the UFW's iconic "Sí se puede" image during the 50th anniversary convention of the organization co-founded by César […]
