Because theyre being told that the president is acting unconstitutionally, which is nonsense, the president is breaking the law, which is nonsense. If that was the case, Ronald Reagan brock the law, george h. W. Bush broke the law. But they should vent their frustration at the house of representatives, who not only have not voted on the senate bill but have not offered a bill of their own. The president said degreed a lival in nevada, pass a bill. The runs have it within their ability to pass a piece of legislation at any time.

Professor, segura, how do you define latino . Well, we let them define themselves, government definition of hispanic anyones who identifies or is a descene sent of immigrants or immigrant from a lattin american Spanish Speaking nation. Some folks would include spain in that, some includes portuguese speakers. For our survey, the basis of our book, we ask people if they think of themselves that way, latino or hispanic. So this is the u. S. Population from lattin american connections. The book is based on the work a polling firm that focuses on latino for political purposes and advocacy.
