both my parents were more typically latino looking.ave an older brother and i guess we were both the results of a recessive gene. i had an irish great-great- grandfather. it came down to me and it was confusing the cousin my household, we were very cuban. when i went outside in the world, i had to relate to a latino community that did not relate to me that way. about,tly eavesdropping i encountered so many negatives -- negative attitudes growing up. it would be nice to get out of your own skin. leading to a creative way of looking at the world. , youyou become a writer have a lot of questions you want to ask. you are looking for answers. my own experience of feeling of wanting to fit in and not quite , young and -- fitting in are always searching for answers. the only way you can find those answers are asking certain questions. the reasons the public has been somewhat discouraged is politicians in both parties have promised to much. inc. the government cannot easily do were promised to be done -- things that government cannot easily do

but basically, most of my parent-- both my parents were more typically latino looking. i guess i have my brother and i have an older brother and i guess we both were the result of a recessive genes. i had an irish great, great grandfather who em grade-- emigrated to cuba many generations ago so it came down to me. and it was confusing because in my household we were very cuban and yet when i went outside in the world i had to relate to a latino community that didn't particularly relate to me that way, but also constantly eavesdropping about you know hey look at that-- you know, hey, coming, you know i encountered so many negative kind of attitudes growing up that i said damn, you know t would be nice to get out of your own skin. so that kind of in the long run ends up leading to, i guess a creative way of looking at the world. and wanting to-- when you become a writer you do so in a way because you have a lot of questions you want to ask. and you're looking for answers. and my own experience, feeling sort of, wanting to fit in, not quite fitting in and sort of being on

the latino vote is looking at how members of congress are viewing immigration, whether the anti-immigration reform or pro, and our community is getting bigger, it's stronger, more populous. if the republicans want to forget about the latino vote, they will be a barrier in immigration. my point is that there are a lot of moderate republicans moving in the right direction. unfortunately, most are in the senate. but in the house even if you get a piecemeal approach, you roll something out in the course of the year, five different elements, the ability, the legalization provision, the border provisions. the provisions that allow individuals with high level skills to stay in the united states, maybe you do that in a little slower basis in the senate. boehner, i know him. i learned in the house with him. he's a realistic guy, but he has a caucus of tea party republicans that make it hard for him to maneuver, governor, o what is best for the country and for his party. >> last month you suggested that john kerry could be surprise candidate. any chance that you would be a candidate, too? you ran a f

cyst whose just because they look latino are stopped, handcuffed and later released because they realize that they are u.s. citizens, so this type of racial profiling is new the stop and frisk for the immigration agents. >> now, officials told al jazeera that this program focused on the limited enforcement resources identifying arresting and removing at large criminal aliens who pose a risk to community safety. john. >> ben, thank you. america tonight will have much more on this stop and frisk immigration policy tonight. nine eastern, six pacific, right after this program. they are calling for a path to legal status, but not citizen ship to many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants. it also include pros pose sals onboarder security. employment verification, and a plan for so called dreamers or young immigrants to earn citizen ship, but is the republican party ready to take on immigration reform now? it's been turned into a political football, i think it is unfair. but how we deal with it is going to be critically important. but there's doubt in the republican ranks that now is the t

presidential candidate to do better than mitt romney did, you need the latino vote, and the latino vote is looking at how members of congress are viewing immigration. whether the antiimmigration reform or pro, and our community is getting bigger, it's stronger more populace. and so if the republicans want to just forgot foresigh forget e latino vote, there are a lot of moderate republicans that are moving in the right direction. unfortunately most are in the senate but in the house even if you get a piecemeal approach and you roll something out in the course of the year five different elements, the ability for instance the legalization provisions, the border provisions, the provisions that allow individuals with high-level skills to stay in the united states, maybe you do that in the little slower basis in the senate. boehner, i know him, i served in the house with him. he's a realistic guy but he's got a caucus of tea party republicans who make it hard for him to maneuver and do what's best for not only the country but his own party. >> hillary clinton is expected to be the candidate for your par

a latino who looks like me will make about 64 cents a talk about the wage gap. it is there but we are not talking about it in ways that perhaps is so noticeable to us. and we still have to i think put all of our efforts toward making sure that we have reinforcement mechanisms. that is why the department of labor has been able in the past five years at least to the obama administration to higher up new wage hour division investigator so things don't just go in a pile and sit there. people actually get a call back from the department and issues like these are resolved and investigated. we have an office of federal contract compliance that is required by law to make sure that any federal contracts that go out, that they treat individuals fairly and that means women particularly of color, people with disabilities and veterans. we lost sight of a lot of that. i think what it could and -- what happened is we got comfortable. wow we don't even need an office for the women's bureau. there is actually talk like that in the congress and thank goodness people's voices were

here we are looking at ninth graders, african americans and latinos. we see this translated down to san francisco. it's not just national data. we see this also among our adults and with the latino and african american populations that consume more sugary drinks. >> can i ask about adolescence. it's my understanding that a ucla study shows slight decrease in younger children but in adolescence there has been an increase in energy drinks and marketing are tied in with a lot of the types of sugary beverages. can you touch a little bit on that? >> yes. i think it's part of the environment that children are in and as an adolescence you are going to have more independence and more pocket change. the industry does a lot of marketing towards young people and whereas in the younger age groups parents have more control of what their children drink. i think that contributes. the whole series of pieces that contribute to children drinking more sugary drinks. does that answer your question? >> yes. >> so, taking a look at soda expenditures it tracks pretty closely

an msnbc piece looks at the growing number of public school closures and the disproportionate impact on african-american and latino% of students affected by school closures in chicago are african-american. in philadelphia, it's 81% and in both cities, more than 93% of affected students are from poor families. a similar pattern is happening across the country in these locations. joining me now is the president of the american federation of teachers, randy weingarten. randy, thanks for being here. in theory, closing these schools should be better for the students, right? that's the idea. but we looked at msnbc.com's article and the article says, quote, many schools don't have full-time nurses and travel welcome through unwelcoming naeshts and sides have swelled to the points where the students, a sixth grader died after suffering an asthma attack where no nurse office duty. what is happening here? >> so there is a big difference between closing a school because there's the people have left the county or left -- >> you don't have a critical mass. >> you don't have a critical mass or after years and years and years in

hopeful because if you are a republican and want to colt the house and senate, you need the latino vote and that is looking at how members of congress are viewing legislation and the community is getting bigger and stronger. if the congress want to forget the vote. they will be a barrier. there are a lot of republicans moving in the right direction. most are in the senate. if you get a piecemeal approach and you roll something out. the ability for instance, the legalization provision, border provision, the provisions that allow individuals with high-level skills to stay in the united states, maybe you do that in a slower basis than the senate. john boehner i know him. i served in the house with him. he's realistic. he has a caucus of tea party republicans that make it hard for him to manoeuvre and gomp and do what is best not just for the country but his party. >> hillary clinton is expected to be the candidate. last month you suggested john cary could be a surprise candidate. any surprise that you would be a candidate. you ran a few years ago yourself. >> you have one shot. you don't keep going and going.

i don't think we can talk about this enough; the importance of the latino groups because they are growing. you look at issue this population cares about and namely the immigration issue. and i would argue this is room for the republican party to really make gains because president obama hasn't moved the ball forward on this immigration debate. we are still not seeing movement,we are not seeing much take place in the house or senate, but this is an issue that the latino population cares about. we have not seen movement from this president. and there was a headline i saw a few days ago that talked about the historic rate of deportations under this administration. i think that is room for the gop to really begin to make in-roads in terms of how they address a policy that will move this debate forward and possibly bring the latino population into this gop tent. but of course, the issue remains is this something that they can actually talk about. this is where i think some of the candidates in 2016 could play a role namely susanna martinez and possibly marco rubio. i think they have the candidate but no

it was --looked like the guy was either latino or middle eastern, wearing khaki pants and definitelyhad a shotgun. either a shotgun or rifle. that's when i took the picture. taken right by "the great cookie" right near the bathrooms where you can see there's obviously one big hole and then a bunch of little pell its around it. so after that i went back into the hallway where deliveries are made, gathered a bunch of people, because, of course, there were women with their children and a lot of people were crying and that. got people out through the exit. showed them where that was and then all of a sudden, one lady, i think was talking to her husband, and she said that he said that the guy -- they they got the guy. that's why we went back inside. had she not said that i would have stayed outside. so i went back inside and just stayed locked in the store with me and some other employees, and we saw the cops just walking around the store, guns out. that's when we figured, yeah, they must mot have gotten the guy. we were in the store half hour, 45 minutes, and then we saw the s.w.a.t. tea

he repealed don't ask don't tell, named the first latino to the supreme court amongst others. >> not really. you look at bottoms up. you introduce the jim crow, 2.5 million prisoners, there because of soft drugs. significant numbers because of the 101 percentage racial, as it were, for crack cocaine as opposed to regular coke april, privatizing education and levels of corruption on wall street but not one executive gone to gaol. let jamal get caught on the corner, that's straight to gaol. it's unfair. that's the reality. massive unemployment at work. >> it's the reality. a lot of political scientists suggest if the economy was worse, the drug use, post erty and drug rates will go up. we had 50 straight months of economic growth. it may be unequal, but it lifted some people up. >> we have to look at what we are made of, saving the economy. most of the drugs are low wage drugs. large numbers of fellow citizens gave up going to work. many are working part-time. none of it counts when it comes to statistics, and profits for the rich corporations and big banks are breaking records. executive compensation

pelosi and hare reid come to him and say veto it we want the issue to attract latino voters in the campaign. does the president look at his legacy and say i'll take it 80% and fight for more or take the politics? >> well, i think that you know, this issue what we really have to consider is, is this really a 2014 issue or is this really a 2016 issue for everybody? i mean, i can see a scenario here where lawmakers on both sides kind of play around with the issue throughout the year and then bump it to 2015 before they pass anything. that would probably work for both sides. >> punting it down the road work for both sides? there's a risk here for speaker boehner who feels about as powerful as he ever has. he let the tea party guys out there. they shut down the government. they paid a price for it. now speaker boehner says follow me, please. can he do this? >> i think one thing about this comprehensive immigration reform notion, for a lot of conservative republicans, it's not just comprehensive immigration reform. it's the whiff of any immigration reform that riles the base. steve king the conservative congressman from

of the hispanic vote and the analysts and political analysts and strategists are looking to find out to capture the latino vote. we have seen marco rubio, ted cruce. what do these figures represent and can the democrats assume today that they have a latino voting bloc if you will? >> guest: well i would be very happy to be wrong about this but if you profile of those that classify as hispanic alongside the voters who aren't, the hispanics look like they had been natural republicans. typically they have very high longevity and on local dÉtente to be better represented than the democrats. they also have a lot of conservative social values and they seem to be decided to me it's not always the economy, it is the social against the economic interest and its an interesting peculiarity. typically as far as i can talk about, hispanics tend to be much more committed and have low rates of stability and that is a value that you find much more strongly voiced in the republican rhetoric than of the democrats. hispanics tend even if they are not catholics they tend to be much more sensitive about the rights of the unbo

people had given him their faith and their trust, whether they were african-american, latino, men or women. and if you look at these poll numbers coming out today, you can see where his problem is. those independent voters, you just put this up on the screen. 58% do not believe him. and as a governor who is talking about trust today. and in a match-up against hillary clinton, i know this is early, jake. very early. but what was impressive was that he had been kind of neck and neck with her, and this latest quinnipiac poll shows that he is now lagging eight points behind her. and it's those independent voters that have deserted him, at least for now. how he handles this will make a large difference in how we look at this six months from now. everybody wants to see how chris christie handles this crisis. >> reporter: right. of course, we are several political lifetimes away from 2016. >> right, exactly. >> reporter: chris frates, i want to bring you in here. hoboken mayor, dawn zimmer. this is the one who has suggested that top officials of the christie administration suggested that sandy relief funds were t

both the growth of latinos, blacks, and asian populations but that is no longer the case. if you look back at the exit polls, anywhere from 34% of whites have voted for democratic president. that is an average of 41% of whites voting democratic. 54% of the country is white. of that population, 41% are progressives. that means the rest of the white population in the country is 26% of the entire united states. you take that 26% and add that to the point i percent of the people of color which gives you the 55% which is the new majority in america. this demographic and mathematical theorem has been tested and proven twice at the national level with the election and reelection of president obama. what does this mean for u.s. politics going forward? the census data is given a geographic map that shows the future of u.s. politics is in the south and the southwest. the new battleground states are the old states in the southwest. in the land that used to be called mexico which we now call texas, new mexico, arizona and colorado. two last numbers. 19 and 24. 19% of voters of colors is the thres

from a demographic point of view, okay, from a demographic point of view, look, every four years, about 2, 2.5 million more latinos vote. if you take 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, what do you see? more and more. and 75% for democrats and an increasing population, i mean, look, they either want to be parties of regions of certain states, county, municipalities, or they want to be a national party. they cannot be a national party until they take this issue off the table. >> how about this, though, in d.c., ted cruz was blasting any type of gop-backed plan that might support amnesty. is that going to be an obstacle right out of the starting gate for any kind of bipartisan agreement or talks at least? >> look, i was on right wing talk show, radio talk show this morning, and it was pretty ugly. and it was -- they are still back in romney land prior to the november shellacking of 2012. democrats have always been the party of immigrants, and i think democrats also have an ability, as we have shouldered in the past, to get something done. barack obama has 2 million deportations under his belt. that's not exactly something to be

looking into u.s. practices. inside story is next. >> striking numbers of black, white and latino men are arrested by the time they're 23, how does that shape their lives, and how does that affect a country where crime has been dropping steadily for decades. that's inside story. >> hello, i'm ray soares. a group of scholars are getting taken. they show that half of black men are arrested. and latino men at 44%. they raise provocative questions. do the large number of men reflect the rising law enforcement at schools? if crime has been dropping for a generation, why are are those numbers so high in the first place? or has crime been dropping so much because young men have gotten so much attention from the criminal justice system in and after years of it a tough attitude on even minor crime, young men are finding it tough to get around. a study has a striking phenomenon in the lives of young americans. a surprising number of young men, regardless of their race, have been arrested by law enforcement at least once before they reach age 23. the journal, crime and delinquency, has published a study done by justice professo

when you just look at black women alone, they make just 64 cents for every dollar a white man makes. latinoqual work nearly cut in half there. look at these numbers, yet the census bureau protecting by 2 5 2045, the majority of women will be women of color. from your research, what is the one thing that can reverse those numbers? >> we have to have policies that allow for women to get equal pay for equal work. that's the reality of the situation that we're facing. is the fact that, a black woman working the same job as a white man is going to be paid less than half of what he's being paid to do the same job and that should just not be the case in our country. we should have equal pay for equal work, regardless of your sexual orientation, gender identity, and your gender. >> and on that note here, danielle, some of your own research here included in the shriver report looked at how black women and lgbt women are impacted today and this is personal for you. >> this is very personal for me, because i remember when i came out to my parents over a decade ago and they were absolutely terrified an

latinos,growth of blacks, and asian populations but that is no longer the case. if you look back at the exit polls, anywhere from 30 per present -- 34% of whites have been murdered -- voted for democratic president. 41% of an average of whites voting democratic. 54% of the country is white. of that population, 41% are progressives. that means the rest of the white population in the country is 26% of the entire united states. 26% and add that to the point i percent of the people of color which gives you the 55% which is the new majority in america. this demographic and mathematical theorem has been tested and proven twice at the national level with the election and reelection of president obama. what does this mean for u.s. politics going forward? ae census data is given geographic map that shows the future of u.s. politics is in the south and the southwest. the new battleground states are the old states in the southwest. in the land that used to be called mexico which we now call taxes in arizona and colorado. two last numbers. and 24. 19% of voters of colors is the threshol

if you looked at the numbers george bush posed under latin latinos -- it is impossible to imagine thersing course and going back to that model today. basically what they had in '04 was a model that spoke to the nation's demographics. now they have the opposite of that. >> people say, sometimes i don't know if ronald ray-reagan could a republican primary today. thanks for joining us today. >> thank you. >> thanks a lot. >>> coming up with a pair of back to work votes scheduled in the senate, we're going to talk to a member of the upper chamber. that's straight ahead.

just in 2006 she went into business for the pro-american bank, latino owned bank in los angeles. to me when i lookt the balance of her resume, it seems the majority of times were spent in government. does that concern you. >> you are highlighting her work in health care. that is essential because a key part of helping small business is helping them get on board with the new health care law. small business administration for the first time last year stepped up. in parrnership with us with an extensive campaign across the country, so the fact she comes into this position with health care experience is an added plus. the agency has been very well run as the acting administrator recently, so she will step in and continue the good work they have been doing increasing loans every year for the past couple of years so that is obviously her primary focus. she will play a role in the work they're doing for health care education, and we are very excited she is somebody who can continue to carry the ball for small business within the administration within the white house and other cabinet departments. theseea

latinos, asians. that's all good. and yet if you look at the african-american community, a year ago the president was giving this great speech, everybody was happy. a year later, our numbers are very, very bad. i'm not talking about poor african-americans. the black middle class, the majority go to work every day, 85% of black americans are employed. but struggling. like much of the rest of the middle class. but nobody talks about the fact that the public sector jobs, black folks used to get, manufacturing jobs black folks used to get, the housing we invested in, all that has gone away and yet there is a discomfort to talk about that. you don't want to seem like you're playing the race cart card, so the black agenda has in some ways stopped. you see a reversal of progress for the middle class african-americans. the black president can't talk about it. civil rights community doesn't want to say anything, white folks don't know what to do. so in some ways, ironically, we're actually maybe moving backwards, even as we move forward on other

looks on the ground. you've got a black, a latino, a lgbt student that shows up five minutes late to class in your districtin districts around florida. that kid leaves school in jail, in handcuffs. no matter what happens after that, they're covered in the sewage of the school and prison peopleli pipeline. we see every day young people being taken out of school and thrown into jail. we need to ask people what kind of america do you want to live in when our kids are being put into jail for things like showing up five minutes late to class. >> the thing that irks he is when the right wing uses things like this to say obama is injecting race into the situation. there is a racial component but the whole point is to take race out of this. the "national review wrote," no one should be surprised by the obama administration's zeal for alleging racial discrimination when it isn't there. give me a break! >> as our great friend the poet jay-z said women lie, men lie, numbers don't. the data proves we have disproportionately disciplined young people of color than white kids. that is a fact. we have to protect the right
