fear. >> yes. >> hinojosa: violence. >> yes. >> hinojosa: suicide. >> yes. >> hinojosa: so help us outhere. how do we... how do we go to the altruism, the losing weight, the quitting cigarettes, and that's what takes over all of this other negative stuff? >> okay, so the crucial thing to understand... there are a couple of crucial ideas here. the first idea is that, um, networks are agnostic. they will magnify whatever they are seeded with. the network itself doesn't give rise to these phenomena. the network is like a magnifying glass: something else impinges on the system and causes people... causes this thing to take off, and the network then magnifies it. so if you can imagine, for instance, that there's a person... a group of people on an isolated island in the pacific, there are 100 people, and they're all disconnected from each other, they're all living as hermits, and then all of a sudden a sailor washes up on the shore and he has an infection. if he interacts with the first person on the island, if the people on the island aren't interconnected, that first person gets sick and

i'm maria hinojosa. this is one on one. >> hinojosa: mark hugo lopez from the pew hispanic center, welcome to our program. >> thank you for having me. >> hinojosa: now, some people might be saying, "the pew hispanic center?" for those of us who work in and around latino media and latino issues, pew hispanic center carries a lot of weight. so, for those who don't know, what exactly is the pew hispanic center? what is it that you do? >> we're a non-partisan, non-advocacy research organization based through washington, d.c. we're funded by the pew charitable trust out of philadelphia. and the pew hispanic center is actually part of a broader larger center called the pew research center. we do public opinion surveys, but we also do a lot of look at the demographics of the hispanic community. and one of our signature products actually is, how many unauthorized immigrants are there in the country. but our point is to provide facts. what do we know about the latino population in the us and how are they changing

. >> hinojosa: and then costa rica. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: you are, like, the... >> little bit of a mix there. >> hinojosa: what is that like, to... i mean, you say that it's a little uncomfortable to be seen as something special, but again, to be seen as someone, some person special in three entirely different countries is pretty extraordinary. >> well, it's a very big responsibility in some ways, mainly to the young people. because, you know, we become sort of role models, and... >> hinojosa: sort of? >> we would like to be good role models, as the role models that we had when we were growing up. and for me, you know, i always wanted to be an astronaut, ever since i was little. and... but i was not really mentally prepared for the responsibility of being in such a limelight. >> hinojosa: but how is it... because, you know, all little girls and boys, more so now girls and boys, but, you know, play with the rockets, and... but i want to know how you actually were like, "no, no, no, this is something that i'm actually going to do-- i'm actually going to study, and i believe that i will a

and that is... >> hinojosa: though you do look fabulous, wonderful. >> thank you. >> hinojosa: the clothes are fabulous, so, you know? >> but i choose carefully. i am a person who loves clothes more than food, so therefore i choose very carefully what i eat and what i choose in the way of clothing. >> hinojosa: diane, there is something that... i mean, again, you are a hero to so many women because, you know, you didn't go to college, you didn't have a kind of academic professional upbringing, and yet, 37 years old, at a time when other people might be saying, you know, "what are you doing starting a new job?" that's exactly when your career basically takes off. where did you find it in yourself to say, "i'm going to be in washington, d.c., this powerful city where everybody is educated from harvard and yale and this and that, and i'm going to do a talk show, i'm going to take..." where did you find that kind of "oomph" to do that? >> remember: i began as a volunteer. >> hinojosa: and everyone should become a volunteer in public radio? >> oh, i think it's a wonderful apprenticeship, and my

i'm maria hinojosa. this is one-on-one. >> hinojosa: anand giridharadas, it's great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> hinojosa: so how'd i do with the name, all right? >> yeah, very well. >> hinojosa: because it's an... >> that was like top two percent. >> hinojosa: now, when you were growing up in ohio... okay, so this is a couple of years ago, you're growing up in ohio. you're born there, from indian parents, and they looked at your name and what did they do? >> they often asked if there was anything else they could call us, and my... one of the ways that my family, my parents, thought of coming back against this was when these telemarketers called and asked us, you know, to spell our name. someone gave us the idea of spelling each letter using a disease, so we'd say, "g for gastroenteritis," "i for intestinal disorder," and people stopped calling. so that's one of the advantages of a very... of a very difficult name. >> hinojosa: well, it's interesting, because your name is one way to enter in

hinojosa: by 2043, we will be a majority non-white nation.

hinojosa: by 2043, we will be a majority non-white nation.

hinojosa, for their work on this bill. i do urge all my colleagues to support h.r. 5529, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from nevada. mr. heck: mr. speaker, i yield myself the remainder of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. heck: thank you, mr. speaker. in closing i want to underscore the purpose of this legislation. yes, this bill will help us address a growing doctor shortage and, yes, it will also help us close the diversity gap among physicians, but the accessing higher education opportunities act, like a number of the bills on the floor today, is also about opportunity in helping students realize what they can achieve through higher education. this bipartisan bill will help more students obtain the knowledge and skills they need to accomplish their goals and succeed in the work force. i want to thank both dr. ruiz and mr. hinojosa for advancing these reforms and for their c

--t: well, judge, hinojosa well judge hinojosa, what would you say to jamil shaw's, whose son was killedillegal or undocumented immigrant? what would you say to him? guest: i feel bad for anyone that is a victim of violence. that is something that is a horrible thing for any family to experience, but that does not represent the great, great, great majority of immigrants that are in this country. if you go out to any part of this country and you look at the people that are working and paving parking lots, working on roofs of houses, in the fields, doing all the hard work in restaurants as waiters, so on and so forth, that is what it's represented by immigrants and undocumented immigrants. that is what they bring to america -- these few aberrations of people who commit crimes are not at all representative of what undocumented immigrants are about in our nation. so, people can use those little stories to try to drum up here and hate, but that is not what but that isnd hate, not what we are all about. i can give you an example of many different kinds of ethnic groups were people who are here
