among latinos over 25, 10%. for the last decade, a latino family income has been higher than black family income, but not because of greater earning power, but because on average, that there are more working adults in house -- latino households. since the late clinton years, the only way millions of minority workers to get a raise was to give themselves one by working more hours at roughly the same level of pay. this leaves these families particularly pressed, too busy putting the fire out that french to destroy everything they have worked for thus far to think about 2012, 2016, and 2020. if a family friend came to this country from peru and met her husband in washington, an immigrant from el salvador. the struggle to save money comiig to get legal, to start a family. at the peak of the housing boom in the d.c. area, they bought a house in the distant virginia suburb because of affordability and because of the reputation of the schools. like so many minority families to fear that if they did not buy right now, t

[unintelligible] >> united way is a big supporter of community action partnerships and others. we is wanted to ask for your support on that legislation. [applause] >> congressman mccarthy, thank you

i believe that that is the case with a lot of the folks in the latino community. you start detaching from that system and railing against it. i thinks that is what we're hearing. >> beyond anger and indifference, there is also competition for a voice at the table. through media, for the congress, we have a lot of different streams, as i mentioned before, people on campaign finance issues, people working on election integrity issues, we enfranchisement of people with felony convictions, and the joy that i have in this forum is the fact that there is an effort to bring together all of these smaller streams into a mitre river of a movement -- a mighty river into a movement to push for reform. >> let's take some more question. over there. >> thank you. i am with the woodrow wilson center. you have a good grasp of public opinion did the one thing that i did not hear is public opinion on public financing of campaigns. the last pilot, taxpayers do not want their dollars being used for politicians to campaign. maybe that has changed since. but even if we assume that they

24% of blacks and latinos live below the poverty level. how many whites? 9%. something is wrong with this, right? 75% of americans who come from wealthier backgrounds will get a bachelor's degree by the time they're 24 years old. compare that only 9% of americans who come from a low socioeconomic background. we are still perpetuating a class system based on race. and we would be wrong to imagine that the issues that we need to address are defined slowly by race and class. gender, sexual to, religion, nationality are all important in understanding the american community. in my view, we are not ok. 40% of americans believe that gay couples should not be allowed to adopt a child. this world these help. i have never forgotten the picture that was printed on the front page of the "new york times" of the parents holding the body of their child killed in an earthquake in china. people call up newspaper to complain. the photo was too upsetting, they felt. it should not be on the cover of the newspaper. what you think? our hearts should be open, not just to falling til

latino people. it was people of color who were riding and running programs. it was people of all races and gender and gender identities. they were organizing everyone. americans writing and directing these programs. it was african american women helping us to know÷7>ou to talk to african-american women. we had the benefits of resources. we were able to really do it right. there are many campaigns that have not done a good job that throw in a particular person that might be a good manager or good supervisor to put these programs together, but they are not experienced and we were able to get the best and most experienced people to do each segment. >> thank you. >> this gentleman? >> both barack obama and scott brown or candidates that were not expected to win in the beginning and they rose in popularity. will that come into play with connecting to youth and did you feel like you're playing catch- up? >> question, -- a good question, we were such underdogs in the beginning that after christmas we broke

, over 70% of latinos oppose the law.y are going to be get stopped and asked for paper. but in the bsence of action, frustration takes oer. and then obscures that notion. in the same polls, even a higher number of people support the comprehensive immigration reform solution than the arizona law. but i think they are getting really frustrated with expecting the federal government to act. so tht's one set of things. and i think that the issue here and i was listening the talk about the elections and what candidates do. in my mind, particularly looking at the latino electorate, it's clear to uswhat drives election is either money or sheer numbers. and then you make the political calcultions of how those are going to add up. but i think that right now part of what is expecting the process is we have a very shallow system of engaging voters. even with voters are being pursued or supposedly listened to, the rality is it is very shallow, so politicians tend to engage in a pushing your button type of game where aligning certain i

when you compare black, whoits and latino men in their 30's and 40's. when you correct for education, the gap disappears. . less of the gap between black and white workers disappears. a smaller subset go to college. than a smaller fraction still manages to graduate with a two-year or four-year credential. for thousands, it's the worst of bonal worlds. they spend the money, derively or none of the benefits of those years of education and still have to pay for it over time. to me, there's nothing more tragic than talking to a low wage worker who is paying off a higher education loan without a credential. that is just terrible. it's hard to think of a worst outcome. in school systems that have to come up with approaches to their new families to get them involved in their children's education. because these adults work more hours per week, coming up with the response has been challenging and in many case $impossible. >> in some place $, it's taken the force of coed indication starting in the lowest deprade and teaching them to read an write english right al

to state that i have a district that i represent that is currently about 36% african-american, 31% latino, 21% anglo and 12% asian. it's important to note that in my district the ballot is printed in three languages. it's printed in english, spanish and vietnamese. this amendment furthers the notion that persons who speak languages other than english will have an opportunity to have materials that are sensitive. this amendment would require that appropriate materials when published be in languages that are culturally and linguistically sensitive. it also requires that advertising receive the same sort of consideration, given that we're trying to reach markets wherein we do have persons who can better understand what is being conveyed if they have the opportunity to do so in a language that they are comfortableewith. by the way, i would add that many people who speak english have difficulty with financial documents as was indicated by a previous amendment. imagine, if will you, speaking english but it is not a language that you are as comfortable with as perhaps another language. this woul

latinos can be quite or african- american as well. we are not saying that the majority population, when you include white hispanics the population is somewhere between 20% and 75%. this is the definition that says the people of direct european ancestry, the population shifting down words. host: another call from florida. democratic line. good morning. go ahead. caller: hello. good morning. i would just like -- am i on now? most of you are. caller: be illegal immigrants coming into this country are taking jobs from legal people and i think this is wrong. the government that is supposed to be a government of laws does not follow their own laws. i think it is a total disgrace. they call this a democracy and it is far from a democracy. it is a republic represented in government that represents the people. guest: all that i can help with is to maybe put these numbers in perspective. right now 39 million of the 300 million people in the united states are foreign born immigrants. estimated that 11 million to 12 million are undocumented. i th

[applause] we can force the politicians to stop spending more money than the taxpayers can afford. [applause] we can't stand up to a bureaucracy that puts its own growth and power about classroom teachers and a great education for our students. [applause] it will not be easy, will it? i will tell you this -- i am putting my heart and soul into this campaign. [applause] this in dallas on a mission. --this gal is on a mission and i am all in.

- but when they are applied is let out all the women or the -- they select out all the women, the latinos, or the african- americans, and they are not job- related. we want to make sure we rid our work force of anything that is not job-related and has a disparate impact. it is a very important, real world reality check -- real- world reality check the congress has become a tuned - becomed in to.ned this will keep coming back and coming back. >> let me turn to congressman nadler. i do not think you offended him when you said you had no confidence that today's congress would repass the voting rights act as it did four years ago. he vigorously shook his head and agreed with you. [laughter] from your point of view, what would congress do to insulate -- could congress do to insulate its collective will from the kind of undermining interpretation we have seen in these recent cases? let's start there. >> it is very frustrating. as someone once said, the supreme court is omnipotent, because -- >> not necessarily. >> within limits. in some cases, it is clear what we can do. we can rewrite statutes

african american and latino students are making the greatest fall -- progress. we share the belief that the status quo is not good enough. it also demonstrates the commitment of our students and their families and no hard work brings great rewards in education. some of the progress reflected initiatives to turn around failing schools. i want to be candid. those are always more controversial. and we see a school is not meeting standards, we intervene. we of used a variety of strategies, a strategy is well known to my colleagues, including putting in a highly trained principle, organizing -- putting in a new highly trained principal, organizing differently. sometimes conditions deteriorated. we must then i ask -- and this is a question i want to ask the committee -- when should we stop sending children to a place that is unlikely to prepare them? it is immoral to consign them to failure to -- to consign them to failure by sending them to schools we would not send our own children to. we must take more dramatic steps, even though they will prove controversial. in n

in fact, we are now seeing latino unemployment over 30% in the state of california and then in my district, 17% overall for everywhere -- everyone. in the committee's testimony, the national association of homebuilders stated that the bill will do little to produce jobs and free up credit for builders. if our goal is to pass legislation that will work to create jobs, we must target our sources where they are most needed and i state, where they are most needed. this amendment will address these concerns that include housing production loans, housing production loans to our nation's homebuilders who are comprised primarily of small businesses. our housing collapse let our country into this economic crisis, creating incentives to allow housing markets to strive will help bring us out of this recession. i thank mr. miller for his hard work on this amendment. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. i yield back the balance of my time, mr. miller. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas. mr. neugebauer: mr. chairman, i don't have any more speakers and i yiel

and allert brown-gort, associate director of the institute for latino study at the university of notre dame. she a citizen of both mexico and the united states. and let me begin with you. was the president pushed to speak to his countrymen on television by this sudden upsurge in violence? >> oh, i think very much so because one of the things that is important to remember is that it is the perception that is -- that is so important here, the perception of insecurity that is driving this. >> indeed, the mexicans call it the lack of safety. why do you think calderon went to the country last night? >> i think he's facing a situation where he's waging an all-out war on drug cartels, trying to do some very interesting things that mexico probably needs-- taking on organized crime, trying to make important institutional reforms-- but he hasn't really brought society along with him and there's skepticism about whether this is a war that is being won or last and i think he's trying to reach out, build a bridge to citizens and saying this is about the security in your communities. we'll have to s

i'm a latino writer, poet, artist. and i actually like to identify myself these days as a frontierliso. someone who lives on the border. this is the place that really defines me. because it is such a difficult terrain to negotiate because there are no sense of certainties. the fixed ideas of one's identity, of one's natural boundaries the way one uses words that come from all sides. and sometimes they come even by bullets. it's not a comfortable place to live and if you want to be a writer, you don't want to live in a comfortable place. meditation on living in the desert #11 "i am looking at a book of photographs. the photographs document the exodus of mexicans crossing the desert. i am staring at the face of a woman who is more a girl than a woman. she is handing her documents to a government official. i know and you know and we all know that the documents are forged. the official is not in the photograph. only the frightened eyes of a girl." i think the reason i started writing these odes to juarez is that i feel a p

. >> the second part of the question is, in 2008, republicans did not do very well concerning the latino vote. obama carried two-one over john mccain. what would your party due to address these concerns? this county is deeply hispanic. what would you do to make those numbers better? >> i would address it the way i would address anybody of any color of skin, create a country that they can believe them, create jobs, create a good education system. i think that is the best way that everybody gets treated fairly. i think that is the most honest approach and the best way of going about it. i do not think someone should produce something just for an election. the power rests with the people. every two years you get to redress that. i think the best thing we could always do is be held accountable, come before you+ with my votes, come before you with any opinion i have and answer your questions. i think the respect that we have for each other goes much further in trying to find a solution. >> i am also with the united way. i would like to talk with you about another issue i would like you to con

the possibility if latinos come out, that bill white will be very competitive and close. host: thank you for the call. "times-pick a new" from page. -- "the times-picayune" frontpage. but they now say interior secretary falsely implied they supported the six-month we'll moratorium when in fact they opposed. pennsylvania, margaret on the democratic line. good morning. caller: i have a question for john about the fact of the oil spill on the primaries. have we seen any yet? i suspect probably not. but i'm thinking that the conservative republicans, i love them as tea party, feel that they want government out of their life and they want deregulation and private enterprise to take over and we see the results of that and i'm wondering if we were going to have a backlash, if this might put a katrina like or rot around their -- aura around there. host: amy walker joins us now. i don't know if you heard the last caller. but she was questioned whether this bill in the gulf coast was having an impact yet on the elections. guest: that was a very good question. i think the potential

. >> in 2008, republicans did not do very well with the latino vote. lot carried two-one over john mccain. what would your party due to address the concern, because current county is 50% hispanic? >> i will address them the same way i would at dress anyone create a country they can believe in, create jobs, create an education system. that is the best way that everyone is treated fairly. that is the most honest way to approach any way we go about doing it. i would not want to sit back and say that someone is going to produce something just for an election. the power rest with the people. they put it on long to the guys who are elected, and every couple of years we get to address that. that is how i looked at dealing with the currency to wish him. the best thing we could always do is be held accountable. i come before you with my votes and any opinion that i have and have answer your questions. we have to respect each other based on the principle to find a solution. i appreciate you coming. thank you. >> i am with united way and i wanted to talk about on

or maybe latinos or asians or other members of our diverse communities.o i think that what we were intending this to imply with these ladders of opportunities is there are many, many different programs and ways, but we need to start with children when they're young. i personally believe that using the school system and using the educational system as a way to engage these children, for example, the children we talk about in santa monica were primarily latino children who had not been to the ocean and not seen the ocean and not seen santa monica mountains, they went and then they start to bring their families. and then when there are service opportunities they can come when they're young teens and work in the parks and come to learn to love these places. and then there is the opportunity at that point to interact with other rangers and other staff, and say, you know, maybe this is something i would like to do. and there are actually programs that can be replicated throughout the national parks to engage folks like this. and i think that is really the model

immigration reform got put back on the agenda not because that latinos have allies in the white house because the right to movement brought tens of thousands of people to washington and reminded politicians of the benefits of action and the caucus -- and the causes of inaction. we are headed into a fierce battle in the next years, a battle over priorities. we face a budget deficit and a yawning domestic investment deficit in everything from education to 21st century infrastructure, to new energy, and simple clean water. a country that continues to squander cullions of dollars in wars abroad while failing to provide every child the nutrition, education, and health care will have the country approaching spiritual death. the first year of reform and reaction has made our task clear spirit we have to clean up the elections, challenge mobilized monday with mobilized people, and change the course here in washington. power concedes nothing without a demand. it never has and never will. we must issue the demand. we must build the demand. we must drive the demand we are the change and we have

a lot of people unemployed, black, white, latino only have a high school diploma. one thing they could do to alleviate that for people is community housing free and available the next 10 years so people can get at least two years to get a high school diploma so we won't have it unemployment and create a boom in terms of small businesses could be created. we have just have some dumb leadership going on that is affecting people like me and others in detroit and poor whites in rural areas. host: william, tell us your story. you live in benton harbor, michigan, that is the home of whirlpool, right? is caller: yes and they have a big recall with the maytag. i don't know if you heard. they know that because of national competition from china they are in a big land grab and it is very controversial. we are trying to get land from our area and they tonight get into the land development. host: but could you tell us your story? caller: the gist of the story is we are trying to alleviate crime and -- host: we got that point from you. anything that he said that you would like

immigration reform got put back on the agenda and not because latinos have good allies in the white househ they do, but because the rights movement brought tens of thousands to washington and reminded politicians of the benefits of action and the costs of inaction. we are headed into a fierce battle in the next years, a battle over priorities once the recovery takes place. we faced not only a budget deficit, but a yawning domestic investment deficit in everything from education to 21st century infrastructure to new energy to simple, clean water. a country that continues to squander trillions of dollars on wars abroad while failing to provide every child with the nutrition, early education and health care needed to thrive, is a country as dr. king warned, approaching spiritual death. the first year of reform and reaction has made our task clear. we have to clean up the elections. , challenge mobilize money with mobilize people and change the balance of forces in washington. frederick douglass wrote that power concedes nothing without a demand. it never has and it never will. we must issue

you tend to see that a lot in those communities, particularly in latino males which is sad and takes away from the actual issue. it's poor classroom management as translated into a special ed rating. i think that's sad. >> it also happens in rural systems not to mention 70% of chamberlain was identified as special needs, is that correct? >> just going back to your first comment of flexibility. the rubber is going to hit the road for me. i just accepted a position that has 13,000 students. i feel very, very confident that it's going to work because i've seen it work in larger school districts than that. so the focus on instruction, collaboration, so forth, you think it's manage not limited to full schools. we used to identified some students as triple threats. they're native american and special ed. >> they counted against them three times. >> and we've had to really focus on that. and they're a major part of everything we do when it comes to providing extended opportunities and we found that in rural communities, the thing that was high priced and wasn't a big bang for buck was a lot

proud that members of the conference committee included not only women, but african americans and latinos and anglos. it was truly diverse and you can see that work reflected in what came out of the conference report. for example, the c.b.c., members of the financial services committee worked on a number of these issues over the past several years. and we came up with those things that have been brought to our attention year in and year out that are finally paid attention to in the conference report. the federal insurance office, we will be asking them to gather information about the ability of minorities and low-income persons to access affordable insurance products. to give consideration and mitigation of the impact of winding down a systemically risky institution on minorities and low-income communities. the expansion of the consumer financial protection bureau's advisory board to include experts in civil rights, community development, communities impacted by high priced loans and others. and perhaps most importantly, the establishment of the offices of minority and women inclusion at

this is not because latinos have good allies in the white house, which they do, but because the movementrought tens of thousands of people to3 politicians of the benefits of action and the cost of inaction. we are headed into a fierce battle in the next year's over priorities once the recovery takes place. we face a budget deficit and a domestic investment deficit. everything from education to 21st century infrastructure to new energy, too simple clean water, a country that continues to squander trillions of dollars on wars abroad while failing to provide every child with the nutrition, early education, and health care needed to thrive. the first year of reform and reaction has made our task clear. we need to challenge mobilized money with mobilized people. we need to change the balance in washington. frederick douglass wrote once that power concedes nothing, nothing without a demand. it never has and never will. we must issue the demand. we must build the demand. we must drive the demand. we are the change and we have the power. thank you.

but as they are applied there are not job- related or as they are applied, they should look at the latinos. but it is not job-related. every time that happens, it is discriminatory. that is poisoning our work force. we want to make sure we read our work force of any practice that is not job-related that has impact. there is no justification that a very important real world reality check here that congress became very attuned into and has done all the appropriate things to make sure it is the centerpiece of title vii. we have had a good year, but that will keep coming back and keep coming back. >> let me turn to congressman nadler. i do not think it offended him when he said to dave parker to congress -- that today's congress -- he was vigorously agreeing with you. from your point of view, what can congress do to insulate its collective will from the kind of undermining interpretation that we are seeing in these recent cases? let's start there. >> it is very frustrating. the supreme court is omnipotent. >> not necessarily. >> within limits. in some places it is clear what we can do. we can
