in time, the south street became puerto rican, displacing the italians, who moved deeper into brooklyn. the north streets were remained polish extending into green point. his parents purchased a house cheaply and over the years created a home that was a welcome place for their children and grandchildren. this haven was of such serenity that kenny often felt the same respect and awe that he experienced when entering the fragrant solitude of the catholic church, fleeing went the irish seeking refuge from the advancing harlems, the dark skin of the people making unrecognizable the prejudices they had endured when they arrived in america. the defect of memory driving them forward to separate themselves from the shadows that follow all immigrants. fleeing went the puerto ricans, escaping the same blackness, but impeled by the fear of blood, both physical and hereditary, fearing with greater horror the prospect of losing themselves in the anonymity that america forces on all of its people, both groups fought the country's wish for that homogenaity. they both retained both their irishness and

i think he was a puerto rican sergeant, because i had a puerto rican sergeant in e-6, don't remember what his name was. he was from puerto rico i think his name might have been cese in the least from charlie company. he was e-6. the only one i don't remember who it was. he might have been one. so i called him up, and i told him, you're in charge. i'm going to go and find lieutenant janette the mortar platoon leader and coordinate something with him. because i couldn't get anything. push come to shove, any enemy really showed up and started firefight. he had orders. he had some rounds we could get him directly instead of going on the phone and wasting all that time. so i went out looking for him. and his platoon, his people, were all sitting down, smoking, scratching, lying down. some taking a nap. and i asked him where's lieutenant janase? oh, he's over there. i go off over there. that's when i got hit. first in my left leg then on my right leg. that's when i was wounded. right between the two platoons. >> it was an ak or was it m-16? >> i don't know. one of them i thought it was an

they would prefer to be called puerto rican or whatever state their family or parents came from. so the question of rubio -- also, by the way, rubio has no executive experience. romney made a big deal about executive experience. hard to see him pick a number two who lacks that key quality. gwen: if we know one thing about this campaign now that the primary season is essentially over, we know that there was never an amazing overflow and want of enthusiasm for mitt romney's candidacy. how much is the white house counting on that? when you look at the poll numbers, the enthusiasm gap is pretty significant. >> one of the things we know is that the president has always enjoyed what they consider their faverblt air cushion. that voters, no matter what they think of his policies, tend to like him, think of him as an average nice guy. when we see the president doing things on entertainment shows or singing or whatever it is we're seeing him doing. he's trying to contrast against mitt romney who is considered in some way the dork. people are encouraging him to be the dork. be who you are.

in chicago, a puerto rican constituent of mine detained for five days under suspicion of being undocumented. and indeed, sadly, senators, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of unlawfully detained u.s. citizens and legal residents in the united states each year in violation of their constitutional rights. some of them have even been deported and then been brought back to the united states of america. that's not an old story. that's a story of today. the federal government took a step in the right direction when it legally challenged the show me your papers laws in alabama, south carolina, and arizona. because the state laws are unconstitutional and interfere with the federal government's authority to set and enforce immigration policy. but it makes no sense to file suit against unconstitutional laws on the one hand, and on the other hand, allow those same laws to funnel people into our detention centers and deportation pipeline. gabino has been denied relief from dough pour takes because he's been stopped too many times, according to the federal government, for driving without a

five year old is undefeated in forty two prior encounters but faces a difficult challenge against puerto rican who's much more climatized to the welterweight division despite this bout being on the horizon their minds claim a possible super fight with manny pacquiao is never far from mayweather his mind. is a lot experience under his belt. i know he's going to fight. hopefully you know once you know after this fight we'll look at all of course we go look we want we want a backyard fight we want to pack you know fight for may fifth but it didn't happen so there's no narcan do you know like i said before i'm always looking to get a fair is what they want to see. now let's head north and in fact to the most northern point on the globe an expedition led by a russian teenager elect were vying to ski across the arctic finishing at the north pole we sent him on course or of there to see if they achieve their aim. this is the fifth time that the father and son team of the three and most they should have organized the ski to the north pole expedition the formats being constant seven teenagers hand-pick

so then i call for my first squad leader, i think he was a puerto rican sergeant. i don't remember what his name was. i think his name was sese. because there was a sergeant sese in the list from charlie company. he's the only one i don't remember who he was. he might have been the one. so i call him up and i told him you're in charge. i'm going to go and find lieutenant jeanette who was a motor platoon lead, see if i can coordinate something. it any enemy really showed up, he had some rounds. i could get him directly instead of going on the phone and wasting all that time. so i went up looking for him. and his people were all sitting down smoking, scratching, lying down, some taking a nap. and i asked him where's lieu tenant gentleman mjeanette, oh,. and that's when i was wounded.l there. and that's when i was wounded. >> ak or m-60? >> i don't know. one of them i thought it was an m-16 because this came from behind. >> but the round didn't stay in your leg? >> no. both went right lithrough. that was the segtd round. second round. while i was lying down, it came u

if you put minorities, i count as one of those a puerto rican from the south bronx, it's 50% women. so that's the end result. that's all interesting. that's just a lot of dem graphics. when we started this journey, we were the smallest of the professional services firm in the early '90s. we are now the largest professional firm in the united states by a considerable margin. this was part of that journey. so for us that's what it's about. that's what it's about. >> you know, i was telling joe earlier, meekia, that i remember this. and i remember mike cook, the ceo coming forward and deloitte stepping out. it was not a safe journey at the time. and what happened was they attracted the best and brightest women who saw that they could have a career path there and have family and have great success because the environment was supportive. and other firms until new york at the time and across the country followed that lead. so when you talk about having an inclusive economy, this is really the same theme. it's about the economic result. we need access and opportunity for all of our terrifi

when confronted with unemployment said, don't worry, i'm puerto rican, i can always sell drugs.now, that show was canceled, but there was a big uproar in our commitments, starting with the puerto rican community. they finally got a i'm sorry note. >> this was an entertainment show. >> yes. but why do i mention this? because if people in high levels of management were sensitive or maybe were latino, when that script passes by them said perdon? >> what are you talking about? >> what are you talking about? it doesn't happen not because they're racist, but because it's just not on their radar screen. a joke is a joke is a joke, but it's not that. bringing it could down to news. if management in news had more latinos, for example, had more african-americans at the highest level -- and it's happened. msnbc, for example, has an african-american woman with huge experience in the latino community. but i'm saying those issues of someone on television questioning how black you are would be mitigated if at the highest level of management in our news business there was that sensitivity that

it but the blacks and the puerto ricans in my neighborhood -- >> oh no! >> yes.is a ditz connect where the rich, snob be ones say this is outrageous. it is a working class culture. >> i file like i was there. did you see that? >> you are blushing. >> he also did the girl. >> i was translating it. >> you are pretty. top of the morning to you. >> i am nothing but a vessel for various characters. >> should i have said working class? >> i have no idea. >>> anyway, remi -- >> i don't want to add to this conversation. >> i do think it can be a form of harassment. >> all you have to do is make a homosexual preference. i guess it teaches women to fight back against weird owes. >> if he would just have shaved the beard off. >> on that note, do you have a comment on the show? e-mail us. leave a voicemail at 212 212-462-5050. and now to andy levy. >> the salted raw fish that you can eat at the delicacy. >> gists -- guests receive a paper mate. paperweight, let the wind know who is boss. >>> welcome back. let's find out if we got anything wrong so far. for that we go to andy

i'm puerto rican and italian. a little bit. >> his fish out of water status could last a long time. >> how are you perceived here? >> i get my respect. if i didn't, i -- like, they could stab me or whatever, i wouldn't be here, i'd be dead, you know. so evidently i get my respect. i mean, it wasn't easy, you know, it's still not easy, some places i go, i'm a target. >> why? >> because of who i run with, who my gang is. like i said, real racers. if blacks get into it, i got to be there. really especially -- i'm always out there on the front lines. i'm always going to be that way. >> why? >> because i pretty much always have to prove myself, you know? always, no matter what. so i can't change my life now, i chose that road, so i have to be a part of that. i don't try to be black, i'm me, i'm dylan. you know? >> but even the brotherhood of his prison gang didn't allow dunn much optimism for the future. >> hope is the biggest -- to me, hope is like thou kill me before one of them kills me. >> what? >> hope. as far as

with unemployment said, don't worry, i'm puerto rican. i can always sell drugs. there was a big outdoor in

so what was interesting today, sonia sotomayor, puerto rican, latino says to don your arguemenarguementration is thinking wow, we have not had a very good run in supreme court recently. [ laughter ] it was interesting. i read an article about the argument and i thought it can't be right. but the solicitor general, and paul clement was arguing the other side, the sg in private practice argued healthcare case and then the immigration case. the battle between the two of them, it will be a great movie one day. >> kimberly: clement is going winning! >> greg: i should have read the article before show. i don't know the people involved. here is the big story. huge exodus of mexicans from america. more are leaving now than are coming in. saying obama is a genius. he figured out immigration. tank the economy, all the undocumented workers leave. he does hate the immigrants. >> juan: if it does -- i just wonder, i come in and say lord help me. >> greg: do it on purpose. >> eric: it looks like they'll split it up. two parts, sb-1070 the part that arizona is mostly concerned with is the ability to h

refugee if you will from cuba >> it's very true and in fact, you know the mexican community, the puerto ricanmunity are different -- >> nor do legal, eligible to vote hispanics necessarily identify with the illegal aliens. >> far, far behind with the entire latino vote. >>> let's move on to open mike gaffe. >> when the president of the united states is speaking with the leader of russia, saying that he can be more flexible after the election and that is an alarming and troubling development. this is no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the american people. >> now, george, he said that this all smell of hollywood. you did see that romney campaign saw an opportunity here. >> just as republicans saw an opportunity when the president speaking during the campaign and he didn't realized that he was being recorded, spoke about the americans who cling to their guns and religion. what people say when they think that no one is listening, he's mildly disdainful who inhibit his flexibility. aka the american public. >> to put it in perspective, are we shocked that the president of the

and for the record here, i am half puerto rican, and one of the things that my mother who happens toe my puerto rican side, it gets her so incensed when she hears why is it they always bring up immigration? and that's a big mistake that both democrats and republicans always tend to make on this issue. >> i think that's an interesting point. let me say this, i think you are absolutely right, and this is borne in the data we have in terms of polling, economy and jobs are highest among latinos and latinos have lost the most amount of wealth in the great recession and its aftermath particularly in housing wealth. what i do think is true, however, before you can get to those issues, there has to be, again, this is visceral politics, intuitive sense that the one party isn't fundamentally tied to a subsection of people that hate you. no, i'm serious. and i think that that actually -- we saw what happened in 2008, which is that john mccain who, remember, had co-sponsored comprehensive immigration reform, was successful successfully yoked to rush limbaugh, and people understand whether an ins

when the agency's secret program was revealed, it was widely criticized, but the blunt-spoken puerto ricanrodriguez is fighting back. he's written a book, a defense of the interrogations called "hard measures," and tonight, you will hear his side of the story. it's the first time someone this close to the program, this accountable has gone public explaining why techniques that had long been condemned by the u.s. as torture were employed. >> jose rodriguez: for the first time in our history, we had an enemy come into our homeland and kill 3,000 people. i mean, that was a huge deal. people jumping from the towers to their death. the people running away from the cloud of dust, terrified out of their mind. this was a threat, and we had to throw everything at it. >> stahl: which is why jose rodriguez says that, when he ran the c.i.a.'s counter-terrorist center, he came up with the idea of employing harsh interrogation techniques. and ten years later, he feels he still has to justify their use. you had no qualms? we used to consider some of them war crimes. >> rodriguez: we made some al qaeda te

so i identify myself a puerto rican but i identify mile as a bostonian in the united states. >> whated to recognize is hispanics are not a monolithic group. i think that mantra needs to be shouted across the country. when you're talking to latinos this year, we're disproportionately have higher unemployment, so that's what we need to focus on, those issues. >> why did the president do so well among hispanic voters? >> the president is working to strengthen the middle class. he's working to build an economy in which hard work and responsibility pays off. and to build an america in which we're not divided, in which we're united. and mitt romney he vetod the dream act. he's calling for all undocumented immigrants to self-deport. hispanics know that the president is on their side. they know that he's fighting for comprehensive immigration reform and for the dream act, and that's why we're seeing so much support for our candidate. >> there was so much misinformation in what whatshe just said. >> this president has hurt the hispanic community in so many ways. he made so many promises from
