Welcome to Latino Law and Politics!
This website is dedicated to open discussion on social, political and legal issues surrounding the Hispanic population in the United States. Latinos, or Hispanic-Americans, have a long and rich history in the United States. Our presence here is often confused and misunderstood by many Americans and even by many Hispanic-Americans themselves. Unfortunately, in today’s society and politics, we, the Latinos or Hispanic Americans, are being used as a weapon by politicians to attack the other political parties and to gain economic benefits from the federal, state and local government using us as a shield and excuse, but actually not following
VENEZUELA – HISPANICS – SOCIALISM
There is quite a controversy regarding what some people and news media call Chavez in Venezuela “a giant for the poor.” Most people today do not read back into the history of the world related to socialism, communism and democracy-capitalistic system. It is all related to philosophy and a very old saying that most people do not understand: “If a poor man ask you for fish, do not just give him the fish, but show him how to fish.” This is the basic difference between those who believe in some form of socialism and those who believe in a true democracy. Socialists
IMMIGRATION REFORM – PROPOSED LEGISLATION
Looking at the reports of the general agreement among Republicans and Democrat senators for a comprehensive immigration package, we see that there is lots of work to achieve such legislation. It will benefit many of the illegal aliens in the country, but it will not be an easy process for them. The requirements to acquire legal status will be long and expensive, but it will be worth it for many who cannot qualify by other means. Here are the main parts of such model proposal as it relates to the illegal aliens: 1. They must demonstrate how long they have been
VENEZUELA – Venezuelans Being Fooled Again by Chavez’ Regime
Recently, I received a post from a very good friend that was written by another Venezuelan. It was inspiring to see that the psychological warfare used by the Chavez regime is being challenged by the intellectuals in Venezuela. On the other hand, the general masses do not see such an attack as it is part of their strategy. They use fear and class warfare in order to excite those in the lower levels of society to hate those who work hard to achieve their goals. Free handouts and the philosophy of “take from the rich and give to the poor” is used
Hispanic and Republican – Marco Rubio
After watching both the Spanish and the English replies to Obama’s State of the Union by Senator Marco Rubio in behalf of the Republican party, we should be happy to see that we do have a Senator who understands the needs of the country and also the need for immigration reform. Watching the content of such speeches, I saw a man who understands the middle class and the working people who provide most of the jobs in the country. These are the values of the Republican party that the extremists on the left do not want the general public to
REPUBLICANS AND IMMIGRATION REFORM
Again, the Republicans are supporting immigration reform that includes legalization of millions of illegal aliens in the country. Senators McCain and Rubio are strong supporters of such laws. If we look at the history of immigration reform for the last few years, it was President Bush and Senator McCain who endorsed and tried to pass reform in 2007. Unfortunately, at that time the sentiment was against it and it did not get anywhere. Democrats did not support it to avoid going against the unions just before the 2008 elections and Republicans were busy blaming the illegals on most of the
REPUBLICAN PARTY – HISPANICS – REORGANIZING 2013
It was clear during this last election that the Republican Party was unable to capture the Hispanic vote as well as to show that it is the political party that best promotes the ideals of most Hispanics. The news media indicates that we are in disarray. Are they right? Are we falling into the trap placed by the extreme liberals? It is time again for everyone to realize that the Hispanics or Latinos are a group that brings hard work ethics and private entrepreneur growth. We have been labelled by many as government dependent and we are not. If you read the statistics, you

LATINO POLITICS and 2012 REALITY
LATINO POLITICS and 2012 REALITY Now that the 2012 Presidential elections are over, the Democrats claim victory based on the Latino vote. The news media as well as many analysts are also giving their opinions related to how and where the Republicans failed. (Please note that most news reports are full of opinions twisted to look like news). It is time for a comprehensive political analysis of the Latino or Hispanic population in the United States that will try to decipher how the Latinos voted and why. First, before I embark in this report of what I believe to be a
Vicente Fox, Former Mexican President – Speech in Pasadena, California
I was privileged to see President Vicente Fox live speech in Pasadena, California just a few weeks ago after the elections in the United States. He also answered a few questions posted by the participants who, in the majority (about 300-400 people), were non-Hispanics. It was interesting to see this great man and how his speech and responses were very politically correct. He is a charming man and appeared down to earth. On the other hand, he was very careful in praising Obama even though he indicated through the speech that he has seen lots of promises and no real action
Venezuela and U.S.A. Immigration
As the Chavez regime continues to move into a dictatorship and extreme socialism, more business people in Venezuela are seeing the destruction of their businesses. The end result, like in Cuba, is to convert everyone to work for the government and for the elimination of private enterprise. It is sad to see that socialism or communism has not worked to benefit any country. If you look at history and what has taken place in the world, it is obvious that those forms of governments do not encourage personal and business growth. They all end with a small group of people
