violence is affecting the mexican economy.he mexicans that i have spoken to here have suggested this is a war of choice. was the status quo viable? did the government need to take on the cartels? >> lack of rule of law is the main problem we have. imagine the -- >> you could be france. >> imagine the potential for mexico if we became a country where the law was respected. the fight against the drug cartels -- against drug trafficking and organized crime that many people see as a problem? i believe that is incorrect. it will end up developing mexico. it will force mexican to take a look at ourselves, introspection, look at ourselves in the mirror. we can truly become a modern country. >> whoever is elected the next president to succeed felipe calderÓn will not continue this war against the drug cartels, chances are. what happens then? >> i do not think that will happen. i depend if -- the middle class is demanding a stable state. we are growing. have to invest significantly on the rule of law -- we have to invest significantly

no more mexicans. who did not have a problem being objective with a mexican. [inaudible]. i should try to do something about this he thought this is not good. may be i should try, may be i should make an effort. may be i should drive to the mission and spend quality time with my own people. i'm sure it would be simple. he doesn't have to be so hard. i am sure anyone who looks at me and talks to me will believe i'm another south of the border specimen and never figure out i happen to be a self hating mexican. the self hating something made him think of the self hating jew. he thought of george constanza and woody allen. he thought of philip and alexander's father yelling and screaming telling his son he was the son of the family shames. you don't be deserved to be called a view. you, alexander are being embarrassed by the surface of the mirror. you don't deserve to be a mexican. nor the fact that mexicans are the hardest working people and came here to work and give their children a better future. there is no mexican who tried to justify with arguments like a fantasy to cel

>>the mexican mafia, if you ask any inmate, what's the mexican mafia, they're going to tell you, "what are you talking about, i never even heard of that." >>does that go for all the other prison gangs in addition to the mexican mafia? >>the majority of them, yes. (laura) so the best way to get information is by going to what's known as a drop-out yard. so you can see that there are more people out on this yard and that's because this yard houses gang drop-outs. >>you're going to see blacks and whites talking. you'll see 'em, they play basketball in a mixed forum. i mean, you can see 'em, even out on the handball court, you see a hispanic and a black. so you'll see them talking more than you would on any other yard. (laura) but even here, it can be hard to get a conversation going. do you mind if we talk with you? >>i do. >>you do? okay, thanks. >>naw, i'm all right. >>thank you. (man) you're chasing everyone around the yard, eh? (laura) finally we had some luck. >>what kind of insight are you guys looking for? >>what's that? >>what kind of insight are you guys looking for? >>life. >>pr

the mexican police couldn't arrest bruce on american soil themselves. that would be up to u.s.vember 2010, seven months after monica's death. the hollywood producer accused of killing his wife in mexico appears in a los angeles court and vows to fight extradition. >> reporter: a federal judge would hold a mini trial in los angeles to decide if mexico's case was strong enough to send bruce back to cancun to face the homicide charge. >>> coming up -- the judge rules after prosecutors release disturbing new details about monica's murder. >> that takes the ruthlessness of this case from being a disgusting, despicable crime to being off the charts. >>> and coming up next friday on "dateline," a husband accused of murder. seems to confess right on tape. >> i just shot my wife. >> reporter: but this is it the tape that had everyone talking. why was he acting like this in prison? >> no, i wouldn't do that. >> his daughters believe he's innocent. >> i know that my dad did not pull that trigger. >> reporter: but what would a jury think? last night was amazing. was that cinnamon you put i

>>their mexican id's. these guys were put in by an organization. they're finding out this marijuana is one of the main driving forces financing, not just our local street gangs, but a lot of these mexican national organizations, their big financing is from the marijuana cultivation. >>the two guys who were here tending this grow said that there are upwards of four thousand of these plants through out this grow site here. they look pretty benign. on the california market, this could fetch eight million dollars. on the east coast, it could go upwards of 12 million dollars. that's insane. >>i don't think there's any crop near the money that's being made from marijuana. it's the number one moneymaker, billions of dollars, i mean this industry is just huge. (adam)coming up, i head across the border to mexico, long the greatest producer of marijuana in the world. we're inside the tractor trailor full of these bricks of marijuana. estimated street value about 80-85 million us dollars.

less than half of mexican children enter secondary school. but things are slowly improving and the children here have big ambitions. what do they want to be when they grow up? if they reach those dreams, mexico will be better for it. >> the aspirations of children around the world seem to be common, and despite the violence, the mexican government reported that 22 million foreigners visited this country, only slightly down from the record of 2008. and being the tourism director is no easy taslk. -- task. i spoke to gloria guevarra. >> do you say that this is an image problem rather than reality? >> there is a gap between the reality and the perception of mexico. we are working on this. why do we have a gap? this is very simple. a couple of years ago we left a lot of information and we were not -- communicating our reality and that information. it was still up with only bad news. there are many things happening here -- and you don't hear about those -- >> you do not suggest that the violence is not real? >> we have a challenge but the challeng

the mexican museum has just announced that it received this distinction, being named an affiliate of world renown the smithsonian institution. this distinction establishes a long-term partnership between the smithsonian and the mexican museum and and cleans the future loan of smithsonian our work and artifacts. you can only imagine the possibilities with that. not only does the mexican museum join a very short but esteemed list of museums around the nation to hold the phillippe status, but it is also the first museum in san francisco to be granted this honor. so we are very proud of the mexican museum, and we look forward to the continued work at the city is undertaking, previously with the redevelopment agency, but as we go forward that we continue to make sure that the indian museum becomes a reality. we join house democratic leader nancy pelosi in it congratulating the museum, as well as mayor lee, who has acknowledged it. i want to recognize a few people, including the c.e.o., a member of a board of directors, and harold, who is the director of the smithsonian institution affilia

this was after the mexican war had broken out. he then marched another thousand miles across completely unchartered territory where there weren't even maps. there was nothing out there. it was like the old mans that you used to see of the oceans that had these big winds blowing that said beyond here lies dragons. they knew there were wild indians out there, but most americans thought of the lands that were beyond the states on the western side of the mississippi, they thought it was what they called the great desert because there had been some exploration out there, and people -- all they found was desert. they didn't realize there was something beyond that, and there was. but the second thing, i think, to take away from kearney's march is that there were unintended consequences, sinister unintended consequences because i try to make in the point from the moment that general kearney marched out of, um, fort leavenworth, kansas, with his army of the west, that was the beginning of the first phase which was the political phase of th

but then, el barrio becomes more mexican, mordomincan, more kind of diverse.when you are named the head of el museo del barrio, there is a huge controversy. >> mm-hmm. >> hinojosa: you're the first non-puerto rican to head what is considered, actually, in its formation, a puerto rican cultural institution. talk a little bit about what that was like. you have this artistic background from, you know, from louvre and the sorbonne, and then you come into this institution. they're saying, "hey, wait a second; you may be latino, you may be mexican, but you don't represent wh el meo d barrio's supposed to be all about. >> correct, and actually, that was... that was... i was surprised a little bit by that. i think, you know, in a way it was... i was selected by my artistic credentials and my understanding of the richness, complexity of latino/latin american culture. but that... that tension that existed-- and again, at the beginning, with that... what... that pushing back, what it really told me is how important this institution was for the community. so iwas a really

it's a mexican-american staple, mexican staple of hominy. same thing as grits. simple. season the chicken with ground cumin. we have chili powder. i like to season the chicken before it goes into the soup a little bit. we have a little mexican oregano and sauteed onions inside the pot. some olive oil in there. very, very simple. just chicken broth over the top. and a little tiny bit of water. you bring it up to a simmer. it cooks like 45 minutes, just until the chicken is nice and tender, falls off the bone. that's what it looks like. you have the mexican oregano and everything inside. that gives it a brown flavor. >> that's the brian. >> -- brine. >> this is the pozole flavor. nutty, tastes like grain and i like the chopped green chilies. >> where do you get hominy. >> the store around my mom's house in cleveland has it. very easy to find. >> so now you have shredded the chicken? >> yes, the chicken comes out, shred it with your hands. put it back in the soup so you don't have to deal with the bones. cook it to get all the flavors together and then the condimen

to put more new mexicans back to work. that's why i am proposing that we exempt roughly half of new mexico's small businesses, those earning less than $50,000 per year from the gross receipts tax. that's roughly 40,000 of our small businesses. the little ones. the start-ups. this is a bottom line approach. many successful businesses started at kitchen tables with not much more than a savings account from the family and a dream. we freed to invest in a culture of entrepreneurship so more of these family businesses can make it. so they can grow and hire more are new mexicans. i'm also proposing a tax credit for high-tech research and development to attract more high-paying jobs to the state. and this year it's time for us to stop the double and triple taxation that is crippling our construction and manufacturing industries. this is often called pyramiding. a business-to-business tax that kills jobs in new mexico, because of our tax system, it's cheaper for new mexico companies to hire an out of state corporation for services

side, and many mexicans would prefer to buy it on the u.s. side because they thought that they were treated better as customers. so the economy was hit hard. and what's such a surprise at looking at the borders through a calexico instead of the usual metropolis is to learn that the northern reaches of mexico are the richest part of mexico. the southern reaches of the u.s. worlder away from places like san diego and el paso in places like calexico are the poorest, often, or among the poorest in this country. so the whole thing is turned upside down from the stereotype which makes it an appropriate jumping-off place to look at the border. i'm going to come back to "no animals were harmed." this is quite the juggling exercise, keep my schizophrenia straight. i met some fascinating people and, again, looking at this morality of what constitutes use and what constitutes abuse. one of the guys that i became friends with and one of the joys of being the kind of a journalist i am going out and immersing myself in a story like this is that those who a

>> it is a mexican land grant that we agreed to respect when we still california from the mexicans.agreed to respect the land grants that existed, and there was a commission set up. regretfully, none of the land grants were legally bested, so most of them were taken away from the mexicans. the other portion were pureblo lands, which would be considered entitled to four square leaks -- leagues. so 30 square miles with the possession of the pueblo of san francisco for public use, and that is how we got golden gate. when they acquired it as publicly, part of the treaty said you had to all mexican law, which set a certain amount of outside plants must be used for schools, playgrounds, open space. the original chaldea san francisco -- the original county of san francisco came from san mateo county. they decided it was too large a county, said the card off another county. at the time, the largest population in the state was in san francisco. l.a. barely made a presidio. they had, like, 50 or 60 people. 90% of the population was in san francisco, and everyone down the peninsula is saying i

you don't deserve to be a mexican. nor the fact that mexicans are the hardest working people and came here to work and give their children a better future. there is no mexican who tried to justify with arguments like a fantasy to celebrate cinco de mayo. you, my friend are the self hating [inaudible] of all mexicans. you are nothing but a big master baeter. foolish man who hides from the rest of the world and sees his shame in order to dream a man can exist without a pas port or green card and labels him as what he is. remember the ones who tried to pass as something else? remember the [inaudible] of life. the [inaudible] of the nation of the [inaudible]. remember the guy from tijuana you met years ago and is proclaimed he was italian because he would and people believed him. as if being italian was a step up. you alexander have changed your entire people. you who dream of an american time will be relevant you can think in order to be an american writer you have to quit your brownness because the adjective will get in

hundreds of thousands of mexicans have been affected by these laws. mexicans, and others are affected. they are from latin america. representation is so key. that doesn't invalidate any of your stories. on the contrary, it makes us unified. whether it was logistics, or whether no mexican was available or whatever, but they are not here. so i really -- but again, i do appreciate your work. i think it is time for you go the next step. i appreciate the panel issue. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> good evening honorable chair person and members of the board. my name is carl cruz, i am with the american immigration lawyers and the national lawyers guild. i want to shed some light and go further than due process deprivation and explain what it is we are looking at in terms of the proposals we saw in 2007 and 2008. evans involved in some minor lobbying efforts. we need to take all this in keeping with what the office could be. on the one hand, we might get comprehensive immigration reform. on the other hand, we might get

mexican drug cartels are increasingly influential players in the methamphetamine trade. a new challenge of the authorities in mexico's long and bloody drug war. >>> ambitious development plans that have been announced in south africa? >> yes, by the country's president, jacob zuma. he has announced plans for a massive infrastructure program to create jobs in a country that has been hit hard by the global recession. zuma was speaking at the state opening of parliament. we have this report from cape town. >> proud, with a sense of direction, this is how the new south africa wants to be viewed, 18 years after the end of white minority rule. they arrived for the state opening of parliament, knowing that this is still -- president jacob zuma, now totally comfortable with these affairs, is still a populist politician. in a country where a quarter of the adults are unemployed, he focused on job creation in his speech through infrastructure. >> massive investment in infrastructure must leave more than just power stations, dams and roads. it must industrialize the country, genera

i didn't hate mexicans. i didn't hate indians. i didn't hate anybody like that. but when you go to these prisons and by the time you do ten years like me, if you're even halfway sane, it's a miracle. >> vanjlis garafolo was awaiting trial for the attempted murder of five police officers while on parole for an earlier conviction of voluntary manslaughter. >> the date i met vanjlis garafolo it was like meeting hannibal lecter with shackles. i saw his feet first and i kind of looked up i saw all the tattoos. this guy was huge, 6'3", probably about 235. i mean he was built like an nfl linebacker. he looked like a stone cold killer. what's even more fascinating is what came out of his mouth. >> the california department of corrections is solely responsible for the madness that goes on in this prison system. and i'll tell you why, because when a big white boy like me goes to prison, he is expected to do his part for the white cause and it's the same for the blacks, the mexicans, the indians, the orientals, asians, everybody else. they're expected to go to prison and do

but, but he had been -- he's a veteran of the mexican war. he had tough talking friends in the confederate war department. so he's fairly assured of coming up with a position. the position they give him, however, is frankly impossible for me to understand. so he's appointed the commandant of richmond's early jail system in july of 1861, just in time, to take charge of 1,421 prisoners, union prisoners taken at bull run. this is a logistical nightmare that will require an enormous amount of organization and tact. these are not david's long suits. the captured yankees created a city wide sensation. guests raced to the windows of their hotels just to get a peep at them. they were spat upon. people called out for them hung. crowds of idlers, churchgoers, society women all rolled by straining to catch a glimpse of this somehow foreign thing, a yankee. the square was for weeks packed with rebels, recalled an inmate. when they caught sight of a federal officer, they hooted at them and insulted him. the frenzy was fully supported by the local papers.

i have to say i was impressed by the concepts that the mexican leadership has adopted, the comprehensive approach is clearly the right way forward, and also by the establishment of institutions, still early days in some cases, but the dramatic expansion of the national police, for example, of the penitentiary system, the corrections system, the attention to the need for various additional laws and so forth, all are exactly what are required to stem what is obviously a very, very serious challenge, and as manifested by the violence and the breakdown of the rule of law in some of the areas, in mexico. colombia, on the other hand, has adopted a comprehensive approach for a number of years, it's now looking literally to take it to the next level and we're obviously partnering with them as effectively as we can. the agency has a counter narcotics center, this integrates not just those from within the agency but throughout the intelligence community and indeed with law enforcement agencies as well. and that is something that we continue to focus a great deal of effort on, given the threat that

[gunfire] >> the mexican army has been fighting drug gangs for five years.the mexican people are paying the price. 50,000 have been killed in the government's war against the cartels. many mexicans are asking if the price is too high. in 2007, less than 3000 were killed. since the president launched his assaults on the gangs, the numbers have spiked. the violence is betting. from to additional troublespots -- from traditional troublespots and around the country. the tale is all too real. she was handed up by the drug gangs. she wrote a journalist the drug cartel did not like. there was said to kill her and her children. -- they were sent to kill her and her children. mexico is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists. ordinary people caught up in the fighting through no fault of their own. is it time for a new approach? i ask the man responsible for the security strategy. what do you think this would mean for the families of the people who have lost lives? >> the only way in which the violence will come down, the only way in which people

they have a constitutional protection that says mexican companies or the mexican oil company has to own the oil, so the government gets a significant portion of its budget revenue from oil production. that has basically prevented foreign companies from drilling in mexico either on land or offshore, because foreign oil companies like to own a piece of the oil. they like to get a percentage of that production. constitutionally, mexico has not been able to do that. >host: if u.s. companies drill in mexican waters now, do they have access to selling that oil or do they have to sell to mexico? guest: the interior department has worked out a formula that will benefit u.s. companies and still respect the mexican constitutional requirements. we don't know exactly what the details are yet. both governments have to vote on it. the u.s. senate and the mexican congress have to vote on it before it becomes final. this has always been a very contentious issue in mexico. i am sure that mexican lawmakers in particular will look at this carefully. host: the maritime border, a map so people can see the a

maybe that's the root of his racism no it's like a mexican for you and now i don't like. to be like i think you are you saying that like most people who are homophobes then turn out to be gay i thought that's where you were going with that not really sure but like i have a bad relationship could make you hate it was not a blanket he just he was just heartbroken like maybe he's he's scored you know he's mexican folderol reasons you know well you know the mexicans because they're jealous and controlling and. i think they need to make a new where he's just walking saying build the fence that relates around his bedroom door for me. all right let's move on. linsanity which we've spoken about here for the show. because you're the only. ok so e.s.p.n. and basically what happened is they had headline asking if there is a chink in the armor and one of their anchors asked the question to so the anchors been suspended for thirty days the headline writers have been fired and i mean it really at the end of the day here is jeremy lin's response he appreciated their apology he doesn't t
