will latino voters stay home? what dow f do you expect will happen? >> look, i'll try to put it to you in this perspective. president barack obama, what a wonderful thing, hispanic woman on the supreme court, expansion of health care services for children, even including immigrant children. more educational opportunities, pell grant increases and educational opportunities, housing and coming back to make sure that housing opportunities are expanded. so many great things. you know what? they're all going to be lost because the key issue that is going to be on the minds, that issue that really is an issue of passion in the heart of our community to include all of us, to bring us all out of the shadows and into the light. immigration reform, if you don't do it i really think there are going to be a lot of people that will simply question whether they should have any loyalty to the democratic party and whether this party really responded to them. that's why it's important that the president react from a political point of view to show that the promises th

when we talk about young latinos. you really see this when it comes it to the high school dropout rate. young hispanics are two to three times more likely to not have graduated from high school or have a high school diploma than other people in the united states. when you talk about going to college or college attainment, hispanics continue to lag behind other groups in terms of college a tanlt and getting a bachelor's degree. >> woodruff: what about the matter of age that algernon mentioned. >> for latinos one of the interesting characteristics is that while there are 47, 48 million hispanics in the u.s. the median age is 27, for whites it's more like 40. so there is a tremendous difference in the age distribution for hispanic, many under the age of 18 and haven't enterentered the labor market just yet. >> woodruff: plush that out for us in terms of education, age and the geographic differences. >> right, right so, states like the dakotas -- dakota'ss, yes yes, have very low unemployment rates, on the other hand, cal

went to black and latino are worse.our report on the spending in these areas is that a fall short? -- it falls short. guest: that is right. host: what was most concern to you? guest: when the department of labor came out with unemployment data, the overall unemployment in the united states went down. for the african-american community, it went up, raising concerns as to why the trends are different than the rest of the country. the most recent data, coming out just a few days ago, a slightly different for african-americans, but we know that there are pockets throughout the country in the rust belt where unemployment is not going down at the same rate. the strategy of the stimulus plan actually benefits some industries and hurts others. especially construction, those industries ready to start work right away, in hard-hit areas you have fewer shovel ready firms. those also tend to be areas with high numbers of blacks or latinos. host: what were your expectations when the stimulus was passed as to how much this would help

>> por un lado los demócratas tienen la idea que los latinos van a votar por un republicano, si el partidouestra comunidad, pero también deben tener en mente que esta comunidad no los va a seguir apoyando si esta historia de promesas quebrantadas es lo que nos dejan, y para el partido republicano también hay un interés político bien fuerte, sino comienzan a reparar el estado con los latinos, se pueden despedir de llegar a la presidencia. >> mario:vendrá el voto castig tema de las redadas. >> estamos solicitamos que marpara e ente todavía se están llevando, a madres dfamilia, a trabajadores, seguimos viendo eso, entonces es uno de los puntos que le trajo también al están aplicando se estánllevand artraria. >> mario: vamos a unossajes íbamos a continuar conversando, mos ha dominérica. coinuamos en "agenda shingt conversando con clarissaartínez del consejo nacional de la raza y katherine vargas del foro nacional de miación sobre jusara lo inmigrantes indocumentados, la maha comienza en pocas horas. >> la una de la tarde comienza un servicio interna religioso doe se va a esr rezando y las dos

when latinos march, they are saying let's deal with it.brothers disenfranchised or the tea party begins to make noise, that's a legitimate part of the scene. why is it african-americans must be exempt from that stream. we don't expect president obama to do it because he's a black man. we would hope he would have an extra special sensitivity but lyndon johnson dealt with the civil rights act, not a black man. president clinton was not a black man, had more people in his cabinet that president obama has. the bully pulpit that deal with americans that happen it black, that's part of the presidency, part of the political demand -- >> do you really think he's not doing that. >> he's allergic to black because -- >> he can't be allergic to it, because he looks in the mirror and sees his black face every single day of the week. >> there's a price for it. >> there's a price but not a penalty. he has been elected to the highest office in the free world. he did that as a man who happened to be plaque. >> if this were a group of economist that is got

i am positive if women had a 28% unemployment rate, latinos, we might address that. but when it's black people, he believes that his base will be loyal. >> let me ask you to chime in on what charles suggested on that. that is, that this president walked into a myriad of problem, perhaps in scale and volume than any other president heretofore. there were criticisms that perhaps he took on too much too soon. >> you know, ed, i think that's a criticism that you hear in some corners out there. certainly republicans and sort of my friends would suggest the big bang theory, as rahm emanuel said that they would try to address very large issues in the next year proved to be daunting more than they anticipated. and i think some people in the country might argue that, you know, the focus -- there's not a lot of oxygen in washington. if it's used up on health care, how can you focus on jobs? >> i think he did. at some point he did miss the boat on this. this is a conversation that i had with him on the campaign trail in st. louis. take a look. >> folks are losing jobs. we've go

meanwhile, a separate study of latinos found a growing secularization. trinity college in hartford, connecticut says the percentage of latinos who claimed "no religion" has doubled in recent years. in 1990, 6% said they had no religion. in 2008, it was 12%. in haiti, 33 children that a u.s. baptist group planned to take from the country last month were reunited with their biological families. the baptist group said they thought the children had been orphaned or abandoned because of the massive earthquake. but haitian authorities accused the baptists of kidnapping and put them in jail. all except the leader of that group have been released. in other news, an ethics controversy erupted this week when a fertility clinic gave away as a prize a free treatment of in-vitro fertilization using donor eggs. the contest was sponsored by an american clinic and held in london where the use of a donor eggs is tightly restricted. clinic staff said they wanted to promote their services to british families. but some ethicists said the contest was like raffling off body p

only 1.6 billion of that went to latino and black businesses.ve to figure out a way to close the gap intentionally by the government saying we have to target these communities because they are hardest hit and figure out a way to help them. >> there has been this rift between the naacp and the congressional back caucus over president obama, over him doing more to address these problems and target as you said he needs to. you've been critical of the president. what is your concern of how he's approaching this? >> obviously, i was one of the first african-american people to endorse mr. obama and stood by him and was a surrogate, but i think now that he's governing we have to hold him accountable as he asked to be held accountable. wolf blitzer asked him why would martin luther king endorse you. he said he would get america to hold us accountable. mr. obama has been loathe to embrace the issue of race, first of all, but secondly, to target these poorer communities which happen to be african-american and latino with specific funds. he says a rising t

if latino voters get angry and disappointed with democrats, and don't turn out in some of these tight races, aren't you worried that you're just going to elect republicans even less sympathetic to what you're trying to do? >> well, what we're doing we're wanting elected representatives that do their job, that push on issues that we care about and the thing about it is, if they're not getting reelected it is because they're not getting anything done and people are not going to go to the polls, it doesn't matter if you're latino or asian, black, white, you're not going to white, you're not going to go to p people who you know are incompetent in their job. so right now what we're asking for is, do your job, do it well. represent your communities across this country. that's what we want. and, i think immigrant community, as new americans, as people who, understand the values and value of democracy, who many times came from different countries because they were fleeing tyranny, understand that democracy is only real when people hold their elected representatives accountable. i actually wan

district would be shared not only with the fbi but with immigration as well, a policy many in the latino community find deeply troubling. on a saturday night last november, 9-year-old oscar fuentes was shot and killed as he stood inside the front door of his family's apartment. the bullet was fired in anger by a man looking to rob residents of the building. at a city council hearing, cathy lanier said oscar's murder may not have happened had the security community program been in place. >> in that case, the person who murdered oscar if you even tez, mr. pena had seven prior arrests in the district of columbia and was here illegally. had we had secure communities, oscar would be alive. >> reporter: she said the feds want the program in place by 2013. she is determined to have the district's policy written and ready to go by then. >> there is a balance between making people feel uncomfortable in any part of our community and then ignoring the fact that we have people here that we may be able to take off the streets before they commit a violent crime. >> reporter: not one person testified a

not nearly as much as latinos, whites, mormons, catholics. why would people scapegoat us than? this is not feeling sort of a very relevant issue to the book which is sort of like this cynicism, faithless miss and the african-american community as a sort of this inability to sort of recognize us for who we truly are. there is a tremendous amount of homophobia in the african-american community. it just happens not so much as other communities so why are we always singled out? there is a new ones that's complicated. i don't want to make it seem as though we are perfect. we are not by any structure. we need to deal with this idea of homophobia that it is a lot more nuanced and i think that you will see in the mainstream press. on the issue of i've never spoken to terry miller and i don't expect a call from her by the week. [laughter] and the last question i am aware of the language for the census. i'm kind of like bostick. i think especially now when we are seeing -- if you look at the real unemployment now everyone on just blacks but the real unemployment rate if you measured the

and latino members have complaints of their own. they say the measure denies undocumented immigrants the opportunity to purchase health insurance. as a result, house majority leader steny hoyer was not ready to say if he has the 216 votes to pass the bill, on a.b.c. this morning. >> well, i'm not going to... i don't have a precise number. and if i did, i probably wouldn't give it to you, we think we'll have the votes when the roll is called. >> reporter: to get the votes, the president and house speaker nancy pelosi divided their time today between st. patrick's day observances and trying to convince more democrats to vote yes. it remains unclear when a final vote will be scheduled. first, democratic leaders must settle on final funding provisions for the health care legislation. those cost estimates then will go to the congressional budget office for verification. and democrats have pledged the bill will be online for 72 hours prior to a vote. in the meantime, republicans stayed firm in their opposition, saying they wanted to keep

we have latino, we have different people from russia, we welcome them. but the black caucus is made up of african-american members. this is rooted in the 1960's. but the truth is, there are a lot of people who are white in this u.s. congress who represent a great deal more black people than i do. so we always have a focus on what's good for the whole country, what's good for america, persistently unemployed. but it's also true that our country does have a particular history as it relates to opportunity. and when we work for opportunity for all people, it enhances america and makes america better and helps people who have been on the more challenged end of the lack of opportunity. this is something we stand up for. ms. fudge: i probably represent one of the most diverse districts in this house and i'm very proud of it. what i know, though, is that the people who have the least are the people who need me the most. so i do focus more on the poor. i focus on children in need. i focus on the hungry. but so do all the other people in my district that makes me

more than 12% for latinos. median household income. more than $37,000 a year for latinos.s is pretty disturbing. i think we should be very surprised by this, but it's still disturbing to see the discrepancies in the year 2010. >> what's even more disturbing is we all have a policy prescription that can help to reduce the level of unemployment across the country for blacks, whites, la tlatinos. one senator recently, of course, said, no way we're going to put money for youth unemployment. black youth unemployment is almost approaching 50%. that's another concern. if we're worried about the future, worried about the next generation, then we have to put money behind the programs. >> look at these numbers, roland. as far as americans without health insurance, whites 10.8%. blacks 19.1%. hispanics 30.7%. are you surprised by those numbers? >> you have to tie lack of health insurance to lack of jobs. i was speaking to the department of transportation's small business summit. $46 billion spent on the stimulus program. 1.7% went to latino businesses. 1.1% went to african-american b

over half are african american and latino.duation gap in some places between white students and classmates of color is 40% or 50%. and in cities like detroit and indianapolis and baltimore, graduation rates hover around 30%, 40%, roughly half the national average. now it is true that not long ago you could drop out of high school and reasonably expect to find a blue-collar job that would pay the bills and help support your family. that is just not the case anymore. in recent years a high school dropout has made on average about $10,000 less per year than a high-school graduate. in fact, during this recession, a high-school dropout has been more than three times as likely to be out of work as someone with at least a college degree. right to waiting from high school is an economic imperative. that might be the best reason to get a diploma, it is not the only reason to get a high-school diploma. as alma mentioned, high school dropouts are more likely to be teen parents, more likely to commit crime, more likely to rely on public a

but i do think that senators with latino populations, significantly latino populations will be affected. i think a wild card in this whole debate is senator harry reid who is facing a tough race and latino voters are a key if harry reid is going to get to 51% in november. so even if just harry reid listens and they keep it on his front burner, then it serves a purpose. >> did either of you learn anything new with the congressman? >> i was surprised to see the congressman was so disenchanted with the obama administration's leadership on the immigration issue. and it struck me that the president has real problems with his liberal and progressive base. and i'm -- he has already lost -- he his support among independent voters have dropped. it shows you the cost of the health care debate and that he has lost, his popularity is down across the board. but he needs to recapture among his liberal base for him to do well in 12i and also in the mid terms -- 2012 in november. >> this indicates disenchantment with the white house staff. and congressman gutierrez knows some of them very well from sen
