Local Latino Links

Nice . . . For once there's a great deal of Latino news in the current news cycle.

Check it:

Crime Scene KC notes that things are changing across the State Line: KCK police hold bilingual info fair for city's immigrants

The KC Infozine takes a look at the future: Hispanics now make up more than one-in-five of all children in the United States

Sadly, members of the GOP are still hating and stuck in the past: Roberts Says He'll Vote Against Sotomayor

Speaking of . . . I'd like to reiterate the point I made yesterday that's more important than petty partisan politics:

LOCAL NEWSIES NEED TO STOP REFERRING TO SCOTUS NOMINEE SOTOMAYOR AS A "LATINA FEMALE" BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY REDUNDANT BUT ALSO MAKES THIS WHOLE COWTOWN SEEM BACKWARD!!!

Chris Stigall, I'm looking at you.

Finally, in order to prove that a Latino Renaissance in the United States is not a horrible thing, I offer a photo gallery of Elsa Benitez as a bit of visual evidence which proves that immigration benefits us all.
