senior latino correspondent. >> you're right. i'm also theatino correspondent. you know why? because i'm the only latino correspondent. i'm on this show not just now but also ever. i can't speak for allah tinos. stop rolling us all together like some sort of pueroto rica-minican tex-mex buffet. let me explain. take a look at this chart. see, these are the top issues for a group i'm referring to as "all people." now compare that to the top issues for latino people. >> john: hold on. hold on. whoa, whoa, whoa. can we just look at those two charts together because that seems to be exactly the same chart. >> yeah, but ours is in a spicier font and if you zoom in a little, you'll see ours includes ultimate fighting and pigeon racing. >> john: sure, sure, i get it. but let's be fair for a second now. even if there is diversity among latino, you guys are still politically identified as one group. >> but we shouldn't be. that's like lumping all europeans together. what if i called you irish? >> john: hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's offensive. we are

they share the latino vote between 0 and 10% in 142 republican districts. 0 and 10%. a majority of them. the average gop district is 75% white compare to just 51% white. put simply as the country gets more racially diverse, ethnically diverse, republican districts have gotten proportionately whiter. i'm asking you, why should they vote against their own political interests? >> because they have to think about their party also. and they don't want -- they shouldn't become a remnant party the way they are in europe. they want to -- >> so sacrifice themselves politically at home. >> basic point that karl rove made, basic point that karl rove made, which was an excellent point is to win with white votes, republican candidate in a presidential election would have to carry the white vote by the same margin as -- listen, just -- can i just finish the point? same margin as ronald reagan won when he carried 49 states. which nominee can get that? none of them. >> let me ask, will the majority of house republicans vote for a pathway to full citizenship? >> no. >> no. but with dem

nothing for them to get shellacked but the results pointed to a different problem for the gop. latinos rapidly growing group had given president obama more than 70% of their votes. the urgency for the gop to change its tune seemed obvious. that was eight months ago. but since then a bipartisan bill has passed the senate that would basically achieve everything hannity said he wanted to achieve, $30 billion in border security, the border surge, a 1-year path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants with clean records with a series of fine and penalties. it passed the senate by a 68-342 vote late last month but now there's grave doubt anything like it or anything at all will make its way out of the republican-controlled house and why? the strategic thinking in the republican party seems to be changing. and who better to express that changing thinking than sean hannity. not only do i doubt that the current legislation will solve the immigration problem, he wrote recently, but it also won't help the gop in future elections. so hannity has evolved again, it would seem. just getting rid of

the benefits? at least they can be competitive moving forward with latinos. if they don't, they won't be competitive. >> the thing that's fascinating, as they stop, as they try to stall what fills the space is steve king. see, that's the problem for them. the problem is almost in some ways less policy. the policy matters because people want those 12 million folks to come in from out of the shadows, be recognized as citizens. worse than the policy is someone walking around talking about human beings like they're animals. >> right. and when boehner goes to the floor, this is the lamest kind of damage control. >> right. it's transparently lame. >> yeah. so, you know, this is why i spent so much time on my book looking at the 2012 campaign's efforts to win the latino vote. if, you know, obama had not gotten 71%, if he'd gotten 65%, 60% of latino vote, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. >> that's right. >> it's all about how they drove up their totals with latinos, that even tees up immigration for debate. this history is very important politically. smar

it turns on the increasing power of the latino population. e first time in decades, democrats may have a shot at turning texas blue. they say it is destiny. in politics, millions of voters don't go very far without a handful of solid candidates. texas arguably has not given democrats a national star since maybe anne richards but that could be changing, at a. you might recognize the faces on the new issue of texas monthly. there you see the castro wins the, who willian castro and joaquin castro and of course, youtube sensation wendy davis who battled rick perry the old-fashioned way. with a talking filibuster. our next guest penned that. and he said texas could slide boo sboo the d column but maybe not any time soon. robert draper writes for rolling stone, gq and the account of the bush presidency. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> you start with the extensive history. point out the last northerner to win was hubert humphrey, jimmy carter won it in a special period. why has it been so long and what's changing now? >> a variety of things

man that i don't know that anyone can claim to have to represent the entire latino community and i doubt that anyone can claim to represent the entire asian community on this issue either. i do know, though that we have taken many steps to ensure that immigrants, the communities whether it's the asian community, the chinese community, the latino community, the african american community, that they have as much information as possible and they are able to opt out. we don't want to see anyone who doesn't want to be a part of this to be part of it. we have gone a long way to make that happen. i just want to make that very clear about that and as an immigrant about that i'm very well aware of these issues and my colleagues would not have supported this program if that action were taken. i also want to say what mr. stern has said that i believe there is more common ground than indifference here. i would urge staff in terms of moving forward in terms of looking at this size for the program, we talk about 20 omega watts. i wonder how much is heche power. how far can we pus

it's become the largest gathering for latino [speaker not understood]. we've enjoyed the support of president david chiu. thank you. i'm here to advocate for the ordinance because one of our goals in the latino comics expo is to try to introduce young people, under served communities to the museum experience. so, i'm here to testify from a firsthand viewing, i've been able to see what kind of impact museum experience has on young people, the access to art, to creativity, to. that venue for young people is, you know, an incalculable benefit for our community. ~ to have our association works with 826 valencia program. we work with [speaker not understood] mira project. we work with the police mission station to get at-risk youth to come to our museum projects and expos. so, i've seen how important having museum access is to young people and that's why i'm a big backer of this ordinance and to help the mexican museum get passed. another thing, too, i have to admit that i've been fortunate to see the mexican museum collection, the one that's currently in moth

latinos on tv. but it is not a reflection of who the modern latino is. this is an english-speaking network. for us? >> yeah. [laughter] this is an english speaking for the modern latino. it is a different thing. it requires different programming and they targeted agenda. >> why this and why now? you have so much else going on. >> yes. theynuvo first came to me, wanted me to be the face of the network. we started talking and he realized i had a lot of ideas about the network and what it could be an programming for latinos. my point of view came from my upbringing. i grew up watching marcia brady, but i did not really see myself. when i think about growing up in onceronx and watching tv, a year "west side story" would come on. this movie inspired me so much to do everything i have done. when i thought about nuvo and the network, i thought this was a great way to communicate with the community. if i could be inspired by one movie once a year at then if you had a cable network that ran 20 for hours a day with programming imagine howatable, many people can be inspired and how many things can be d

influx of immigrant catholics has kept the catholic church membership around 70 million, so that's definitely a trend. >> almost half of catholics under 40 are latinoscording to the pew research center. but the church's hold on second and third generation hispanics is not as strong. just 40% of latinos whose grandparents were not born here say they are catholic, while 30% now call themselves protestant. >> i hear people come to our church and say, "what time is mass?" or they call me "father." so i know they come from the catholic -- and they just say, "you know, it's just so different. i love it here. i feel like you're talking to me. i don't feel like it's just so rigid." >> wilfredo de jesus became pastor of new life covenant church in chicago a dozen years ago. born in chicago to a puerto rican mother, de jesus, like many in his congregation, is not fluent in spanish. >> our primary language is english, yet we still love our culture, we still love our rice and beans, we still love our music, but we love to hear the word of god in the language that we can understand. >> under de jesus, the church added services in english and experienced explosiv

his legacy if he gets it and the story i try to tell in "the center holds" how did he get 71% of the latino gotten 65% or 60%, we wouldn't even be having this conversation about immigration because none of the republicans would be taking part. but he delivered a message to them that they will not do well as a political party if they don't get this bill through. how did he do that? he introduced people like the latina oprah, the anglo media doesn't know who she is, she's a former univision star who did ads with michelle obama in the campaign that were very appealing in the latino community. he did this unbelievable outreach what is called the cave which is the secret annex of the chicago headquarters of the obama campaign that i penetrated with the twenty-something analytics geeks figured out all the new ways to appeal not only to latinos right down to the different -- >> down to the color of the e-mails. >> yes. yellow got a better return than white and there are 100 other things. everybody knows obama did a better job on the dedge tall front, i try to explain how. >> "the center holds" is

i want to especially talk about the challenges with the latino community. i've noticed a lot of challenges and educating the community about the language access. some of the main barriers i've seen within our community as michelle as pointing out us u out that the distrust in city agencies and government based on how they're coming from their countries. i think for a lot of our community members it's hard enough to learn how to navigate the department and system and on top of that i know you're not having the in land services and how to access them. that's been one of the main concerns as they're not knowing how to navigate the departments and trying to get the in land service a difficult. some you thought things excuse me. some of the things we're doing to address this include doing a lot of workshops and ethnic media to make sure we have an opportunity to reach anti. and i think i said to conclude that by saying in collaboration with the language access network we're here to make sure we serve the community >> thank you. thanks to the language access netwo

a gift to the city, to the children, to the youth, the latino community and everyone of us. thank you for all your work and thank you for supporting this project. >> buenas tardes. i want to go back and show you what we did to get the mexican museum, the piece of property in yerba buena. the yerba buena, as many of you know historically was for mexicanos lived back in 1800s. they were the shipyard workers. it interesting that here we are before you today 20 years later asking you to vote in favor of the mexican museum. i want to bring to your attention that this city of san francisco voted to give 1,000 feet to transtower. 850 to 51st street. 750, 600, there was no issue about shadow. but yet, they created shadow in 10 parks. and not 1 person got up here from the four seasons to protest about shadow. it got approved. every step of the way. yet the mexican museum has been an appealed every step of the way. let's talk about shadow. all of these projects, right here behind me ten parks. shadow. mexican museum, union square. 0.06. this building has gone from 600 to 500 to 480. we

it was first mentioned i think with respect to the latino community. it evolved into the lgbt community. and was kind of a sidebar, you might say, in the western soma plan. but then the japantown folks had an opportunity to take that and produce the j chess document which we're looking at today. so, i think the issues, as karen kai said, aren't just isolated within japantown. the forum that she mentioned which took place in june brought together not only the japanese american community, but the filipino community, latinos from the mission district, and others in a forum that discussed this whole issue. so, i think the production and creation of this document is extremely important with respect to being a model or a direction that these other communities can take a look at and adopt as they wish in terms of addressing their own social and cultural heritage issues. that said, i'm glad to support obviously. but i think there are some problems that need to be addressed, and that is the document, i think, has some problems with the commission, i guess, maybe
