NewsTaco Roundup: February 20 – 25, 2012
Self-deportation takes on a new meaning this week with my top pick, a story lamenting the sad story of massive deportations of Mexican Americans during the Great Depression. There was also a mini-scandal in Texas when a teacher told a student to “go back to Mexico,” East LA gentrification, tortilla soup, babies, racism and shamelessness.
Arizona’s armed militia, gay sheriff who threatened to deport his lover and Latino U.S. Senate candidate were good stories, as well as the story of a young Latino determined to represent his home of Houston in Texas’ state legislature.
Enjoy!
