L.A. Police Union Challenges Car Impound Laws
In May, a new policy allowing undocumented drivers to have their impounded cars picked up by licensed driver could take in effect. That is if a L.A. Police Union doesn't win a challenge to stop it. Are more lenient impound laws a threat to safety or is are they necessary to alleviate unfair practices against undocumented immigrants?

Study Finds Undocumented Workers Have 'Negligible Impact' On Wages
A Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Report finds that undocumented workers have 'negligible impact' on the wages of documented workers. In fact it may raise the wages. But we all ready knew this, as it's been reported again and again. So if this is the case, what are the real grounds and motives of the anti-immigrant and nativists movements?

Is Romney Distancing Himself From Anti-Immigrant Legislative Author Kris Kobach?
Now that Romney has the GOP nomination in his grips he really is reimagining his campaign. The redesigns come as an effort to gain some of the Latino vote that Obama so greatly holds. What do folks think? Is Romney really giving a genuine effort to align Latinos with the republican party or is it all rhetoric?

Life After College: A Guide For Undocumented Students
So you went to college and you've graduated. Pretty hard to get a job right? Now, imagine finding a job in this economy while being undocumented. This is increasingly the case for many DREAMERS. With no action on immigration reform that would provide a road to residency and citizenship, undocumented students have had to get creative to lock down jobs. With this hardship in mind, one Ph.D students has created a guide to help undocumented students with life after college.

Luis Moreno commented on SB 1070 and Marco Rubio's 'DREAM Act' Written By The Same Pen 2012-04-12 10:12:36 -0700Hi Caterina!
It says here that
“In March of last year, La Opinión published an interview with Mark Krikorian, CIS executive director, where he argued that Republicans could come up with a very limited Dream Act alternative that would give the youngsters a “permanent administrative visa”, with all the rights of a legal resident without the ability to sponsor relatives. CIS had published a couple of papers by Stanley Renshon pushing that idea. CIS and FAIR have in mind a new immigration system where people can’t sponsor certain relatives and where legal immigration would be reduced."

Mexican Undocumented Immigrants Entering and Leaving U.S. Hits Net Zero
So we've hit net zero undocumented immigration from Mexico. How does this line up with both Republican and Democrat efforts to militarize the border? The "They Keep Coming" rhetoric still reigns, but if there's been essentialy no immigration from Mexico, what are the real foundations for anti-immigration demands?

Police later shot and killed 19-year-old Kendrec McDade. Police say he made sudden movements to his wristband.
Is Carillo-Gonzalez to blame or is the shooting part of a more complex pattern of uneseccary police force?

Debbie: Say No To CCA!
Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!
IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE
We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.
The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.
It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!

Little Attention Paid to Student Debt Despite Crisis Proportion
Student loan debt has surpassed credit card and auto-loan debt having some worried that it could be the next bubble to burst and putting us right back to where we were in 2008. Whether such claims are alarmist or not, there's no doubt that the larger source of debt needs addressing yet there seems to be very little national discourse around the issue.

Romney to Immigrant Community: Obama Broke Immigration Reform Promise
Today in Wisconsin Romney said in reference to immigration reform, "Let the immigrant community not forget that while [Obama] uses this as a political weapon, he has not taken responsibility for fixing the problems we have.” This sounds strange coming from a guy who wants immigrants to "self-deport" and considers Arizona's SB 1070 a model for the nation.
