Martha Vasquez, 22, Highland Park, July 2011 Photographer: Gabriel Louis Acosta, The Sun With all the pressure that the Latinos have been under from both visceral extremists on the Conservative side, and an aggressive deportation policy by the Administration, it was only a matter of time before folks become radicalized. (Note: This policy was later amended to ensure more accurate deportation screening) What puzzles me is why are Inland Empire Democrats taking a middle of the road position and moving to the Right? The Progressive position is that the undocumented citizens deserve clemency under the law! The Latinos of the Inland Empire helped build it. They have paid in full their debt to society through hard work, long hours, low pay, and other laments. They deserve to be released from the bondage of second class citizenship and brought more transparently into the law.
There have been more than one protest in the streets of San Bernardino about the need for immigration reform. The protest pictured above was to support the Dream Act. The 31st CD is 49% Latino.
