		<description><![CDATA[Efforts to provide relief to the nation's struggling small businesses stalled in the Senate Thursday, prompting a bitter round of finger-pointing on a measure that once had broad bipartisan support.   The bill, which would create a $30 billion Treasury-backed loan facility and provide tax cuts for small businesses worth $12 billion over 10 years, failed to break a GOP-led filibuster on a 58-42 vote.  For weeks, Republicans have pressed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to open the door for a series of amendments.  But Democrats have balked, saying the amendments in question are not germane to the issue on the floor. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember back in 1992 - some of you still were wearing diapers then - while in the midst of the presidential race James Carville hung a sign in Bill Clinton’s campaign headquarters that read, “It’s the Economy, Stupid”? James Carville’s political genius is shown by his understanding of that which mattered the most, that which troubled their hearts and minds, to an electorate base that had just experienced a recession. Yes, there were many other important issues to address, but that was without a doubt, the one that would sway the masses one way or the other.  Extrapolating Mr. Carville’s strategy into your boardroom and applying it to answer the question, “How can we better connect with the growing Hispanic market?” The answer is as simple as this:  IT’S THE CULTURE, SEÑOR!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some immigrant rights groups are shifting the strategy in their so-far unsuccessful push to overhaul immigration law: They're calling the new tactic the "down payment" approach.  "We are aware that the clock is running out, and there are no guarantees that a Congress that is supportive of immigration reform will be returned in November," said Antonio Gonzales, president of the William C. Velásquez Institute, a Latino public policy group. "We took a deep breath and said, 'Okay, we need a Plan B.' "  That plan centers on lobbying hard for the passage of two bills: AgJobs and the Dream Act.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In these days of continually breaking news from Arizona it’s hard to stop for a minute — take it all in — and listen. But that was my assignment. Listen.  Seems fitting for a radio piece.  Yet, sometimes our expectations of what a story should be tend to get in the way.  Since the passage of SB 1070, a new law that makes it a state crime to be an undocumented immigrant, I find myself pulled in many directions. One day I’m sitting inside a courtroom trying to wrap my mind around legal arguments on the law. The next second, I’m in the street putting my microphone between two people who are yelling at each other.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People with mental disabilities, including US citizens, face a greater risk of erroneous deportation by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) because courts do not ensure fair hearings for those not able to represent themselves, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in a joint report released today. The groups urged Congress to pass legislation requiring the appointment of lawyers for all people with mental disabilities in immigration courts.  The 98-page report, "Deportation by Default: Mental Disability, Unfair Hearings, and Indefinite Detention in the US Immigration System," says that immigrants with mental disabilities are often unjustifiably detained for years on end, sometimes with no legal limits.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today in Washington DC, in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building, several students dressed in graduation caps and gowns were handcuffed and led away by Capitol police.  These students were staging a passive protest hoping to spur congressional action on The DREAM Act. If you don't know by now, the DREAM Act would allow some undocumented students to either go to college and earn degrees or put the degrees they already have to work or for other students, to enter the military -- but all would receive the opportunity to officially become citizens.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the late 1990?s, when racial profiling, especially framed in terms like “driving while black”, was in the headlines, Congressmen like John Conyers spoke out about the possibility of legislation aimed at stopping racial profiling. Now, ten or so years later, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers Jr. and Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Chairman Jerrold Nadler introduced H.R. 5748, End Racial Profiling Act of 2010 (ERPA).  This bill is being introduced in the context of the rising use of police tactics like stop and frisk in NYC and of course laws like Arizona’s SB1070 which make it suspicious to be alive while brown.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hispanic-owned businesses are booming across the United States, particularly in the South.  Arkansas had a 160 percent increase in Hispanic-owned business, growing from 2,094 businesses in 2002 to 5,457 in 2007, according to a recently released study by the U.S. Census Bureau.  "Our Hispanic community has grown significantly," said Fayetteville, Ark., Chamber of Commerce President Steve Clark. "That diversity is very good for us. We have a Spanish language radio station now, which is something we would not have had five years ago."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hispanic political pundits are now asking the question, what went wrong? The simplistic answer is that there was a low Democratic voter turnout. In most off-election year with no high profile candidate at the top of the ticket, Democratic voters have the annoying tendency of staying home. On top of that if one digs a little deeper one finds out that few Hispanics came out to vote. More damming to us then not coming out to vote is that Hispanics continue to be not registered to vote. In SD County only about 1 in four Hispanics are registered to vote, and of those only about 17% come out to vote on election day.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Independence Day, celebrated on the Fourth of July, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. But who will be responsible for the future of our independence?  Latinos are the fastest growing population in the United States and by the year 2050, nearly one in three Americans will be of Hispanic origin.  Just in the 2008-2009 Texas school year, 51% of kindergarteners and 65.4% of pre-kindergarteners were Hispanic, the demographic with the highest state dropout rate. These statistics foretell the future.]]></description>
