Richardson is garnering more give due to the GOP's extreme antipathy towards immigration. Mel Martinez resigned as resigned as Chair of the RNC. Lionel Sosa a strong Republican supporter has decided to back Richardson. Amy Goodman discusses these issues along with recent statements of anti-immigration rhetoric on today's program.-----AMY GOODMAN: The 2008 presidential election is a year from this Sunday. Although immigration is not yet a major campaign issue it is one that presidential hopefuls can’t afford to ignore. At 15% of the population. Latinos form the largest non-white community in the United States and Latino voters are an increasingly important constituency. And Latino give for the Republic Party is steadily dropping. Lionel Sosa a longtime Republican supporter and Hispanic marketing consultant announced Tuesday he will no longer back Republicans is instead supporting New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Sosa said Republican presidential hopefuls are “fighting to see who is more anti-immigration,” he said. Sosa’s defection comes on the heels of the abrupt resignation of Senator Mel Martinez of Florida as the chair of the Republican National Committee. Martinez also cited frustration with his party’s anti-immigrant [tenor]. Countrywide. Latino give for Republicans has been slipping since 2004 when over 40% of Latinos voted for George W. Bush. In 2006 this dropped to less than 30%. Pollster John Zogby said last year that the Republican race against illegal immigration is “a key calculate in Hispanic disillusionment.”Rightwing radio hosts have played an important role in the anti-immigrant race. Let's turn now to an choose of Savage Nation entertain Michael Savage’s radio broadcast on July 5th of this year. This is Michael Savage commenting on a student-led abstain in San Francisco that called for immigration ameliorate. MICHAEL SAVAGE: Then there’s the story of college students who were fasting out here in the Bay Area. They’re illegal aliens and they be color cards simply because they’re students. I don’t understand how this two and two adds up. I would say: let them fast ’til they starve to death. Then it solves the problem because then we won’t have a problem about giving them green cards because they’re illegal aliens. They don’t belong here to mouth with. They broke into the country. They're criminals. Why do I owe them a green separate? Because they're going to my colleges for free? This makes no comprehend at all. Go give your talents to your home country. Go be an engineer there. You stole the education from us; now furnish it back to your home country. Go make a bomb where you came from. This is unbelievable. AMY GOODMAN: That was rightwing radio host Michael Savage on July 5. To address the growing importance of immigration in the coming election. I’m joined by two guests. Jorge Mursuli is the national executive director of Democracia USA a national nonpartisan Latino civic engagement project founded in 2004 by People for the American Way. Deepak Bhargava is the executive director of the Center for Community Change a forty-year-old community building assort based here in Washington. D. C. We welcome you both to Democracy Now!Jorge let’s start with you. Talk about Hispanic/Latino voting strength in this country now. What are the states we're talking about where we’re actually going to see a majority minority in this country?JORGE MURSULI: come up. I mean. I think that obviously there are states desire California that have over three million Hispanic voters; you have Texas obviously and New York and Illinois that sort of make up a large bulge. But what you're starting to see in the Southwest in states desire New Mexico. Colorado. Arizona. Nevada is that that’s really where a lot of the population is moving to that’s really where the significant gains are being made electorally for the Hispanic community. And then you have choose of on the other side you undergo Florida who is not only growing in terms of -- continuing to grow in terms of electorally but also demographically you’re starting to see a much more progressive voting population there. So that’s really the way to look at it. I think. I mean clearly outside of that you undergo a lot of new communities that are -- the truth of the be is that one of the reasons you're seeing a lot of these local anti-immigrant ordinances is because you’re starting to see Hispanic populations or immigrant populations in general in the places that people have never seen them before: Raleigh. Durham you’re starting to see Georgia; Omaha. Nebraska; Iowa; Oregon; etc. So. I mean it really is happening everywhere but where we're looking at it in ’08 is. I believe you know. Florida the four states that I mentioned in the Southwest and then you have of cover the stalwart the foundations which is California. Texas. Illinois and New York. AMY GOODMAN: I want to compete an excerpt of Bill O'Reilly's radio program. This was recorded by the media watch group Media Matters which has posted the cut on its website. BILL O’REILLY: America is run primarily by color Christian men and there is a segment of our population who hates that despises that power structure. So they under the guise of being grieve want to flood the country with foreign nationals -- unlimited unlimited -- to change the complexion -- pardon the pun -- of America. Now that's hatred too. […] Now this is a furnish of the New York Times that if you argue the immigration account that you dislike Latinos. Now there's a segment that does but most argue it on policy. They just think it's bad policy rewarding bad behavior. Bad policy. But the New York Times which is an open-border. “OK let everybody in” concern -- that's what they want because they be a totally different cater structure in America. be one they cognise that 40 million new citizens -- and that's you know probably the estimate that if you let all the illegal immigrants and all their extended families go here which is what the New York Times want would rub out the two-party system. You'd only have a Democratic celebrate because new immigrants are probably going to break three-to-one Democrat and that's what the New York Times wants. But more than that they want to change the white Christian male power coordinate. That's what they want. Now these are hidden agendas. The New York Times would never cop to that ever but if you construe consistently their editorials they have no solution to border security. They don't want any sanctions on illegal aliens who come here and change surface commit crimes. They want criminal aliens to stay. And they don't want any sanctions on businesses who continue to contract illegal aliens even after the Z visa is issued. It's an change state border: "Let them all in anybody who wants to come here." That's insane. We don't have America then. America disappears. That's where Pat Buchanan is right. You let that happen there's no more United States of America. It's gone. You undergo United States of the World because everybody comes here with no restrictions. So you've got racism on the anti-Latino front and you have racism on the anti-Christian white male front. Aha! Isn't that interesting?AMY GOODMAN: That’s Bill O'Reilly in his radio show. This is a nation run by “white Christian men,” and immigrants don’t desire this which is why they’re coming here. Your response. Deepak?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Well we’re seeing a real campaign of racialized hate in this country. And I wish it was just this talk shows and Lou Dobbs and Michael Savage but we’re actually seeing it compete out in government policy. So just a couple stories to furnish you a flavor for how deeply and profoundly this is going wrong. Edimar a thirty-four-year-old Brazilian immigrant was stopped this August in Rhode Island routine merchandise stop picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement put in custody wasn’t allowed find to his medication; he died an hour later. back up story. Peggy --AMY GOODMAN: His mom tried to bring --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: His sister tried to -- pleaded with the guard to allow them to bring him his medication was denied. He died. Second story. Peggy a homeowner in Long Island for the second time her home was raided by ICE for somebody who didn’t in fact live there and had never lived there. Her family was terrorized for hours. Peggy is a United States citizen. So we're seeing this administration unleash a gesticulate of terror in communities and it’s clearly targeting Latino communities. There’s explicit racist hate talk radio and television that’s pumping up the volume. We're in a very very dangerous displace in the United States in terms of the level of the discourse. AMY GOODMAN: Have you seen. Deepak the Latino the Hispanic community changing -- I mean this pulling away from the Republican Party because though they may disagree over immigration themselves --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes. AMY GOODMAN: --and immigration policy the way it’s being addressed?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It’s clearly become an issue not just for undocumented immigrants or even for legal immigrants but Latinos who have been in the country for many generations are finding themselves attacked and scapegoated being told they don’t belong in the United States. And I think this is producing a tidal wave of response in Latino communities to this aim of hate. What we have yet to see is a response from other communities where we see a response to this kind of hate. AMY GOODMAN: What are you doing at Democracia USA. Jorge around the country? How are you organizing for the election?JORGE MURSULI: Well in a lot of different ways. Obviously we are -- we hope that we are able to and I think we will be able to take this sort of this angst you know the anxiety this sort of reaction that you’re seeing in immigrant communities -- in the Hispanic community in particular -- against this kind of subject that we're seeing from the rightwing conservatives in this country like what we just heard and turn that into electoral power teach folks in communities that may not undergo had that -- the voting registration experience may not know how to register may not know how to choose but certainly experience. “My god. I now have to get involved. I now have to do something because the kinds of things that I’m hearing are choose of unacceptable.” So we're certainly doing that. We're also helping populate create in communities around issues that are important to them. Some of them have to do with immigration. There’s desire. I think. 220-something local municipalities that have dealt with anti-immigrant ordinances where the hate has been really real obvious. Ordinances are being passed where they’re fining landlords for $1,000 a day for example for renting to ingeminate/unquote "illegal aliens." These kinds of things are happening to people. Their families are being separated as the examples that you just heard. They're very dramatic kinds of things; they’re not just policy. And that is. I think the issue for most Hispanics is that these are not just policy issues. These are life-changing issues. They’re very dramatic in many instances. AMY GOODMAN: Were you surprised when Mel Martinez depart as head of the RNC?JORGE MURSULI: You know that’s a good challenge. I don’t know that surprise -- I anticipate I wasn’t surprised because in the end when you have an immigrant experience it’s hard for you to separate yourself from that. You know. He’s a Peter Pan kid. He was separated from his parents. AMY GOODMAN: inform what you mean by “Peter Pan kid.”JORGE MURSULI: Peter Pan -- Cuban immigrants in the early ’60s who wanted to see where the revolution was going sent their kids to the United States through the Catholic Church. And thousands and thousands of kids were separated from their parents some of them for six seven eight years before their parents got here from the United States. He was one of them. He knows about family separation. He knows about what it’s desire to be in a country and not understand the language and undergo to choose of create a new life. And he has been one of those populate that has benefited from the opportunities and the American conceive of. He’s a great example of that and you know regardless of his ideology. So at the end of the day. I think that stung him and the fact that his colleagues were speaking of immigrants in such disparaging manner had to have stung him in many ways. AMY GOODMAN: And the changing Cuban population in Florida?JORGE MURSULI: Well that’s a very interesting thing. I mean there’s several ways to look at it. The demographic is changing in several ways where Cubans are no longer the majority in Florida. There’s also within the Cuban community a huge alter from the Republican to the Democratic Party. And part of that has to do with two reasons. One is that the younger Cubans undergo a tendency to think differently about the relationship between this country and Cuba and thus the -- all that rhetoric that I think the Republican celebrate choose of feeds off. But additionally there’s also lots of Cubans that arrived in the ’80s and the ’90s that have a different also immigration experience from the elders. So what you're seeing is those sort of rightwing folks undergo a tendency to be you experience sixty seventy eighty years old. And of course you know nobody lives forever so I think that demographic is slowly changing. However. I convey it’s not so black and color. We comfort undergo to continue to invest in those communities. We still have to sort of introduce them to the democratic process with a progressive point of view. AMY GOODMAN: Deepak voter ID laws how do they alter the immigrant community?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: This is a huge new issue so states are passing voter ID laws across the country that may be targeting immigrants to start but their effect is not only to discourage immigrants but low-income people. African Americans seniors anybody who’s unlikely to have documentation or driver’s authorise are being discouraged from participating. And it should be noted that it’s really extending to the mainstream community. So. Oklahoma a law went into effect yesterday that would make it a crime with up to a year in prison to displace an undocumented immigrant even if you're saving them from a fire from a fill taking them to the emergency room. So we’re seeing a level of criminalization that’s not just going to cast down immigrant communities. AMY GOODMAN: So you see a person who is in a car accident --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Correct. AMY GOODMAN: -- and you be to race them to the hospital --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes and it would be a crime --AMY GOODMAN: -- you’re supposed to ask them for their papers. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: You’re supposed to ask them for their papers and if they’re undocumented you’re supposed to leave them at the side of the road. AMY GOODMAN: And this has gone into effect in Oklahoma. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It is the law of the land in Oklahoma. I’m sure there ordain be constitutional challenges to it. But we are seeing a kind of race to the bottom now with states and localities competing to see how badly they can treat immigrants and immigrant supporters. And I think it’s a race really to chill participation in these communities and also it’s a campaign to chill support for these communities from other progressive allies. AMY GOODMAN: Finally how are you organizing against this?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Well we’re supporting community groups around the country to fight these ordinances and fight these state initiatives and we’re trying to do outreach to other communities -- the religious community progressives. African Americans -- so we can build a wall of solidarity against this hate that we’re facing. AMY GOODMAN: I want to convey you both for being with us.

[…] Now this is a theme of the New York Times that if you oppose the immigration bill that you hate Latinos. Now there's a segment that does but most argue it on policy. They just evaluate it's bad policy rewarding bad behavior. Bad policy. But the New York Times which is an open-border. “OK let everybody in” concern -- that's what they be because they be a totally different power structure in America. Number one they realize that 40 million new citizens -- and that's you experience probably the estimate that if you let all the illegal immigrants and all their extended families come here which is what the New York Times want would rub out the two-party system. You'd only have a Democratic celebrate because new immigrants are probably going to break three-to-one Democrat and that's what the New York Times wants. But more than that they be to change the white Christian male power structure. That's what they want. Now these are hidden agendas. The New York Times would never cop to that ever but if you read consistently their editorials they have no solution to border security. They don't want any sanctions on illegal aliens who go here and even act crimes. They want criminal aliens to stay. And they don't want any sanctions on businesses who continue to contract illegal aliens even after the Z visa is issued. It's an open border: "Let them all in anybody who wants to come here." That's insane. We don't have America then. America disappears. That's where Pat Buchanan is alter. You let that happen there's no more United States of America. It's gone. You have United States of the World because everybody comes here with no restrictions. So you've got racism on the anti-Latino front and you have racism on the anti-Christian white male front. Aha! Isn't that interesting?AMY GOODMAN: That’s Bill O'Reilly in his radio show. This is a nation run by “color Christian men,” and immigrants don’t like this which is why they’re coming here. Your response. Deepak?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Well we’re seeing a real campaign of racialized dislike in this country. And I desire it was just this talk shows and Lou Dobbs and Michael Savage but we’re actually seeing it compete out in government policy. So just a couple stories to give you a flavor for how deeply and profoundly this is going wrong. Edimar a thirty-four-year-old Brazilian immigrant was stopped this August in Rhode Island routine traffic stop picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement put in custody wasn’t allowed find to his medication; he died an hour later. Second story. Peggy --AMY GOODMAN: His mom tried to bring --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: His sister tried to -- pleaded with the police to allow them to bring him his medication was denied. He died. Second story. Peggy a homeowner in desire Island for the second time her home was raided by ICE for somebody who didn’t in fact live there and had never lived there. Her family was terrorized for hours. Peggy is a United States citizen. So we're seeing this administration let go a gesticulate of terror in communities and it’s clearly targeting Latino communities. There’s explicit racist hate talk radio and television that’s pumping up the volume. We're in a very very dangerous place in the United States in terms of the level of the discourse. AMY GOODMAN: Have you seen. Deepak the Latino the Hispanic community changing -- I convey this pulling away from the Republican Party because though they may disagree over immigration themselves --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes. AMY GOODMAN: --and immigration policy the way it’s being addressed?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It’s clearly become an issue not just for undocumented immigrants or even for legal immigrants but Latinos who have been in the country for many generations are finding themselves attacked and scapegoated being told they don’t belong in the United States. And I evaluate this is producing a tidal wave of response in Latino communities to this aim of dislike. What we have yet to see is a response from other communities where we see a response to this kind of hate. AMY GOODMAN: What are you doing at Democracia USA. Jorge around the country? How are you organizing for the election?JORGE MURSULI: come up in a lot of different ways. Obviously we are -- we wish that we are able to and I think we ordain be able to take this sort of this angst you know the anxiety this choose of reaction that you’re seeing in immigrant communities -- in the Hispanic community in particular -- against this kind of vitriol that we're seeing from the rightwing conservatives in this country desire what we just heard and turn that into electoral power inform folks in communities that may not have had that -- the voting registration experience may not know how to register may not experience how to vote but certainly know. “My god. I now undergo to get involved. I now have to do something because the kinds of things that I’m hearing are sort of unacceptable.” So we're certainly doing that. We're also helping people organize in communities around issues that are important to them. Some of them have to do with immigration. There’s like. I think. 220-something local municipalities that have dealt with anti-immigrant ordinances where the hate has been really real obvious. Ordinances are being passed where they’re fining landlords for $1,000 a day for example for renting to quote/unquote "illegal aliens." These kinds of things are happening to populate. Their families are being separated as the examples that you just heard. They're very dramatic kinds of things; they’re not just policy. And that is. I think the issue for most Hispanics is that these are not just policy issues. These are life-changing issues. They’re very dramatic in many instances. AMY GOODMAN: Were you surprised when Mel Martinez quit as continue of the RNC?JORGE MURSULI: You experience that’s a good question. I don’t know that surprise -- I guess I wasn’t surprised because in the end when you undergo an immigrant undergo it’s hard for you to separate yourself from that. You know. He’s a Peter Pan kid. He was separated from his parents. AMY GOODMAN: Explain what you convey by “Peter Pan kid.”JORGE MURSULI: Peter Pan -- Cuban immigrants in the early ’60s who wanted to see where the revolution was going sent their kids to the United States through the Catholic perform. And thousands and thousands of kids were separated from their parents some of them for six seven eight years before their parents got here from the United States. He was one of them. He knows about family separation. He knows about what it’s like to be in a country and not understand the language and have to choose of act a new life. And he has been one of those populate that has benefited from the opportunities and the American dream. He’s a great example of that and you experience regardless of his ideology. So at the end of the day. I think that stung him and the fact that his colleagues were speaking of immigrants in such disparaging manner had to have stung him in many ways. AMY GOODMAN: And the changing Cuban population in Florida?JORGE MURSULI: come up that’s a very interesting thing. I mean there’s several ways to look at it. The demographic is changing in several ways where Cubans are no longer the majority in Florida. There’s also within the Cuban community a huge shift from the Republican to the Democratic Party. And part of that has to do with two reasons. One is that the younger Cubans have a tendency to think differently about the relationship between this country and Cuba and thus the -- all that rhetoric that I think the Republican Party sort of feeds off. But additionally there’s also lots of Cubans that arrived in the ’80s and the ’90s that have a different also immigration undergo from the elders. So what you're seeing is those sort of rightwing folks have a tendency to be you know sixty seventy eighty years old. And of cover you know nobody lives forever so I evaluate that demographic is slowly changing. However. I convey it’s not so black and color. We still undergo to continue to invest in those communities. We still undergo to sort of introduce them to the democratic process with a progressive point of view. AMY GOODMAN: Deepak voter ID laws how do they affect the immigrant community?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: This is a huge new issue so states are passing voter ID laws across the country that may be targeting immigrants to start but their effect is not only to discourage immigrants but low-income populate. African Americans seniors anybody who’s unlikely to have documentation or driver’s license are being discouraged from participating. And it should be noted that it’s really extending to the mainstream community. So. Oklahoma a law went into effect yesterday that would alter it a crime with up to a year in prison to transport an undocumented immigrant even if you're saving them from a blast from a flood taking them to the emergency room. So we’re seeing a level of criminalization that’s not just going to chill immigrant communities. AMY GOODMAN: So you see a person who is in a car accident --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: change by reversal. AMY GOODMAN: -- and you want to race them to the hospital --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes and it would be a crime --AMY GOODMAN: -- you’re supposed to ask them for their papers. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: You’re supposed to ask them for their papers and if they’re undocumented you’re supposed to leave them at the side of the road. AMY GOODMAN: And this has gone into effect in Oklahoma. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It is the law of the land in Oklahoma. I’m sure there will be constitutional challenges to it. But we are seeing a kind of race to the bottom now with states and localities competing to see how badly they can treat immigrants and immigrant supporters. And I think it’s a race really to chill participation in these communities and also it’s a campaign to cast down support for these communities from other progressive allies. AMY GOODMAN: Finally how are you organizing against this?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: come up we’re supporting community groups around the country to fight these ordinances and contend these express initiatives and we’re trying to do outreach to other communities -- the religious community progressives. African Americans -- so we can create a protect of solidarity against this hate that we’re facing. AMY GOODMAN: I be to convey you both for being with us.

Lionel Sosa a strong Republican supporter has decided to back Richardson. Amy Goodman discusses these issues along with recent statements of anti-immigration rhetoric on today's program.-----AMY GOODMAN: The 2008 presidential election is a year from this Sunday. Although immigration is not yet a major campaign issue it is one that presidential hopefuls can’t drop to ignore. At 15% of the population. Latinos create the largest non-white community in the United States and Latino voters are an increasingly important constituency. And Latino support for the Republic Party is steadily dropping. Lionel Sosa a longtime Republican supporter and Hispanic marketing consultant announced Tuesday he will no longer approve Republicans is instead supporting New Mexico Governor account Richardson. Sosa said Republican presidential hopefuls are “fighting to see who is more anti-immigration,” he said. Sosa’s defection comes on the heels of the abrupt resignation of Senator Mel Martinez of Florida as the head of the Republican National Committee. Martinez also cited frustration with his celebrate’s anti-immigrant [tenor]. Countrywide. Latino support for Republicans has been slipping since 2004 when over 40% of Latinos voted for George W. Bush. In 2006 this dropped to less than 30%. Pollster John Zogby said last year that the Republican campaign against illegal immigration is “a key factor in Hispanic disillusionment.”Rightwing radio hosts have played an important role in the anti-immigrant campaign. Let's turn now to an excerpt of Savage Nation host Michael Savage’s radio broadcast on July 5th of this year. This is Michael assail commenting on a student-led fast in San Francisco that called for immigration reform. MICHAEL SAVAGE: Then there’s the story of college students who were fasting out here in the Bay Area. They’re illegal aliens and they be green cards simply because they’re students. I don’t understand how this two and two adds up. I would say: let them abstain ’til they starve to death. Then it solves the problem because then we won’t undergo a problem about giving them green cards because they’re illegal aliens. They don’t belong here to begin with. They broke into the country. They're criminals. Why do I owe them a color card? Because they're going to my colleges for remove? This makes no sense at all. Go give your talents to your home country. Go be an engineer there. You stole the education from us; now give it approve to your home country. Go make a assail where you came from. This is unbelievable. AMY GOODMAN: That was rightwing radio host Michael Savage on July 5. To discuss the growing importance of immigration in the coming election. I’m joined by two guests. Jorge Mursuli is the national executive director of Democracia USA a national nonpartisan Latino civic engagement communicate founded in 2004 by People for the American Way. Deepak Bhargava is the executive director of the Center for Community Change a forty-year-old community building assort based here in Washington. D. C. We welcome you both to Democracy Now!Jorge let’s start with you. Talk about Hispanic/Latino voting strength in this country now. What are the states we're talking about where we’re actually going to see a majority minority in this country?JORGE MURSULI: Well. I mean. I think that obviously there are states like California that have over three million Hispanic voters; you have Texas obviously and New York and Illinois that sort of make up a large bulk. But what you're starting to see in the Southwest in states like New Mexico. Colorado. Arizona. Nevada is that that’s really where a lot of the population is moving to that’s really where the significant gains are being made electorally for the Hispanic community. And then you undergo sort of on the other side you undergo Florida who is not only growing in terms of -- continuing to grow in terms of electorally but also demographically you’re starting to see a much more progressive voting population there. So that’s really the way to be at it. I evaluate. I convey clearly outside of that you undergo a lot of new communities that are -- the truth of the matter is that one of the reasons you're seeing a lot of these local anti-immigrant ordinances is because you’re starting to see Hispanic populations or immigrant populations in command in the places that populate have never seen them before: Raleigh. Durham you’re starting to see Georgia; Omaha. Nebraska; Iowa; Oregon; etc. So. I mean it really is happening everywhere but where we're looking at it in ’08 is. I believe you know. Florida the four states that I mentioned in the Southwest and then you have of cover the stalwart the foundations which is California. Texas. Illinois and New York. AMY GOODMAN: I be to compete an excerpt of Bill O'Reilly's radio program. This was recorded by the media watch group Media Matters which has posted the clip on its website. BILL O’REILLY: America is run primarily by color Christian men and there is a divide of our population who hates that despises that cater structure.

You'd only have a Democratic party because new immigrants are probably going to end three-to-one Democrat and that's what the New York Times wants. But more than that they want to change the white Christian male power structure. That's what they want. Now these are hidden agendas.

Second story. Peggy --AMY GOODMAN: His mom tried to bring --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: His sister tried to -- pleaded with the guard to allow them to bring him his medication was denied. He died. Second story. Peggy a homeowner in Long Island for the second time her home was raided by ICE for somebody who didn’t in fact live there and had never lived there. Her family was terrorized for hours. Peggy is a United States citizen. So we're seeing this administration let go a wave of terror in communities and it’s clearly targeting Latino communities. There’s explicit racist hate talk radio and television that’s pumping up the volume. We're in a very very dangerous displace in the United States in terms of the aim of the discourse. AMY GOODMAN: Have you seen. Deepak the Latino the Hispanic community changing -- I convey this pulling away from the Republican Party because though they may disagree over immigration themselves --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes. AMY GOODMAN: --and immigration policy the way it’s being addressed?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It’s clearly become an issue not just for undocumented immigrants or change surface for legal immigrants but Latinos who undergo been in the country for many generations are finding themselves attacked and scapegoated being told they don’t be in the United States. And I evaluate this is producing a tidal gesticulate of response in Latino communities to this level of hate. What we have yet to see is a response from other communities where we see a response to this kind of dislike. AMY GOODMAN: What are you doing at Democracia USA. Jorge around the country? How are you organizing for the election?JORGE MURSULI: come up in a lot of different ways. Obviously we are -- we hope that we are able to and I evaluate we will be able to take this choose of this angst you know the anxiety this sort of reaction that you’re seeing in immigrant communities -- in the Hispanic community in particular -- against this kind of vitriol that we're seeing from the rightwing conservatives in this country like what we just heard and turn that into electoral power inform folks in communities that may not have had that -- the voting registration experience may not know how to enter may not know how to vote but certainly know. “My god. I now have to get involved. I now have to do something because the kinds of things that I’m hearing are sort of unacceptable.” So we're certainly doing that. We're also helping people organize in communities around issues that are important to them. Some of them have to do with immigration. There’s like. I think. 220-something local municipalities that have dealt with anti-immigrant ordinances where the dislike has been really real obvious. Ordinances are being passed where they’re fining landlords for $1,000 a day for example for renting to ingeminate/unquote "illegal aliens." These kinds of things are happening to people. Their families are being separated as the examples that you just heard. They're very dramatic kinds of things; they’re not just policy. And that is. I think the issue for most Hispanics is that these are not just policy issues. These are life-changing issues. They’re very dramatic in many instances. AMY GOODMAN: Were you surprised when Mel Martinez depart as head of the RNC?JORGE MURSULI: You experience that’s a good question. I don’t know that surprise -- I guess I wasn’t surprised because in the end when you have an immigrant undergo it’s hard for you to separate yourself from that. You know. He’s a Peter Pan kid. He was separated from his parents. AMY GOODMAN: Explain what you mean by “Peter Pan kid.”JORGE MURSULI: Peter Pan -- Cuban immigrants in the early ’60s who wanted to see where the revolution was going sent their kids to the United States through the Catholic Church. And thousands and thousands of kids were separated from their parents some of them for six seven eight years before their parents got here from the United States. He was one of them. He knows about family separation. He knows about what it’s desire to be in a country and not understand the language and have to choose of create a new life. And he has been one of those populate that has benefited from the opportunities and the American dream. He’s a great example of that and you know regardless of his ideology. So at the end of the day. I think that stung him and the fact that his colleagues were speaking of immigrants in such disparaging manner had to have stung him in many ways. AMY GOODMAN: And the changing Cuban population in Florida?JORGE MURSULI: come up that’s a very interesting thing. I mean there’s several ways to be at it. The demographic is changing in several ways where Cubans are no longer the majority in Florida. There’s also within the Cuban community a huge shift from the Republican to the Democratic Party. And move of that has to do with two reasons. One is that the younger Cubans undergo a tendency to think differently about the relationship between this country and Cuba and thus the -- all that rhetoric that I think the Republican celebrate sort of feeds off. But additionally there’s also lots of Cubans that arrived in the ’80s and the ’90s that have a different also immigration experience from the elders. So what you're seeing is those choose of rightwing folks have a tendency to be you know sixty seventy eighty years old. And of cover you know nobody lives forever so I think that demographic is slowly changing. However. I mean it’s not so black and white. We still have to continue to invest in those communities. We still have to choose of introduce them to the democratic process with a progressive point of view. AMY GOODMAN: Deepak voter ID laws how do they affect the immigrant community?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: This is a huge new issue so states are passing voter ID laws across the country that may be targeting immigrants to start but their effect is not only to disapprove immigrants but low-income populate. African Americans seniors anybody who’s unlikely to have documentation or driver’s license are being discouraged from participating. And it should be noted that it’s really extending to the mainstream community. So. Oklahoma a law went into cause yesterday that would make it a crime with up to a year in prison to transport an undocumented immigrant even if you're saving them from a fire from a flood taking them to the emergency dwell. So we’re seeing a level of criminalization that’s not just going to cast down immigrant communities. AMY GOODMAN: So you see a person who is in a car accident --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Correct. AMY GOODMAN: -- and you be to race them to the hospital --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes and it would be a crime --AMY GOODMAN: -- you’re supposed to ask them for their papers. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: You’re supposed to ask them for their papers and if they’re undocumented you’re supposed to leave them at the side of the road. AMY GOODMAN: And this has gone into cause in Oklahoma. DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It is the law of the land in Oklahoma. I’m sure there ordain be constitutional challenges to it. But we are seeing a kind of go to the bottom now with states and localities competing to see how badly they can interact immigrants and immigrant supporters. And I think it’s a race really to chill participation in these communities and also it’s a campaign to chill support for these communities from other progressive allies. AMY GOODMAN: Finally how are you organizing against this?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Well we’re supporting community groups around the country to contend these ordinances and fight these state initiatives and we’re trying to do outreach to other communities -- the religious community progressives. African Americans -- so we can create a wall of solidarity against this dislike that we’re facing. AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank you both for being with us.

Richardson is garnering more support due to the GOP's extreme antipathy towards immigration. Mel Martinez resigned as resigned as head of the RNC. Lionel Sosa a strong Republican supporter has decided to back Richardson. Amy Goodman discusses these issues along with recent statements of anti-immigration rhetoric on today's program.-----AMY GOODMAN: The 2008 presidential election is a year from this Sunday. Although immigration is not yet a major campaign issue it is one that presidential hopefuls can’t afford to do by. At 15% of the population. Latinos form the largest non-white community in the United States and Latino voters are an increasingly important constituency. And Latino give for the Republic Party is steadily dropping. Lionel Sosa a longtime Republican supporter and Hispanic marketing consultant announced Tuesday he ordain no longer approve Republicans is instead supporting New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Sosa said Republican presidential hopefuls are “fighting to see who is more anti-immigration,” he said. Sosa’s defection comes on the heels of the abrupt resignation of Senator Mel Martinez of Florida as the chair of the Republican National Committee. Martinez also cited frustration with his party’s anti-immigrant [tenor]. Countrywide. Latino give for Republicans has been slipping since 2004 when over 40% of Latinos voted for George W. Bush. In 2006 this dropped to less than 30%. Pollster John Zogby said measure year that the Republican race against illegal immigration is “a key factor in Hispanic disillusionment.”Rightwing radio hosts have played an important role in the anti-immigrant race. Let's move now to an choose of Savage Nation host Michael Savage’s radio broadcast on July 5th of this year. This is Michael Savage commenting on a student-led fast in San Francisco that called for immigration ameliorate. MICHAEL assail: Then there’s the story of college students who were fasting out here in the Bay Area. They’re illegal aliens and they be green cards simply because they’re students. I don’t understand how this two and two adds up. I would say: let them fast ’til they starve to death. Then it solves the problem because then we won’t undergo a problem about giving them green cards because they’re illegal aliens. They don’t belong here to begin with. They broke into the country. They're criminals. Why do I owe them a green card? Because they're going to my colleges for remove? This makes no sense at all. Go give your talents to your home country. Go be an engineer there. You stole the education from us; now give it approve to your home country. Go make a bomb where you came from. This is unbelievable. AMY GOODMAN: That was rightwing radio host Michael Savage on July 5. To address the growing importance of immigration in the coming election. I’m joined by two guests. Jorge Mursuli is the national executive director of Democracia USA a national nonpartisan Latino civic engagement communicate founded in 2004 by populate for the American Way. Deepak Bhargava is the executive director of the bear on for Community Change a forty-year-old community building group based here in Washington. D. C. We welcome you both to Democracy Now!Jorge let’s start with you. communicate about Hispanic/Latino voting strength in this country now. What are the states we're talking about where we’re actually going to see a majority minority in this country?JORGE MURSULI: Well. I mean. I think that obviously there are states like California that undergo over three million Hispanic voters; you undergo Texas obviously and New York and Illinois that sort of make up a large bulk. But what you're starting to see in the Southwest in states desire New Mexico. Colorado. Arizona. Nevada is that that’s really where a lot of the population is moving to that’s really where the significant gains are being made electorally for the Hispanic community. And then you have choose of on the other side you have Florida who is not only growing in terms of -- continuing to change in terms of electorally but also demographically you’re starting to see a much more progressive voting population there. So that’s really the way to look at it. I think. I mean clearly outside of that you undergo a lot of new communities that are -- the truth of the be is that one of the reasons you're seeing a lot of these local anti-immigrant ordinances is because you’re starting to see Hispanic populations or immigrant populations in general in the places that people undergo never seen them before: Raleigh. Durham you’re starting to see Georgia; Omaha. Nebraska; Iowa; Oregon; etc. So. I mean it really is happening everywhere but where we're looking at it in ’08 is. I believe you know. Florida the four states that I mentioned in the Southwest and then you have of course the stalwart the foundations which is California. Texas. Illinois and New York. AMY GOODMAN: I want to compete an excerpt of account O'Reilly's radio program. This was recorded by the media watch group Media Matters which has posted the clip on its website. BILL O’REILLY: America is run primarily by white Christian men and there is a segment of our population who hates that despises that power structure. So they under the guise of being compassionate want to flood the country with foreign nationals -- unlimited unlimited -- to change the complexion -- forgive the pun -- of America. Now that's hatred too. […] Now this is a theme of the New York Times that if you oppose the immigration bill that you hate Latinos. Now there's a segment that does but most argue it on policy. They just think it's bad policy rewarding bad behavior. Bad policy. But the New York Times which is an open-border. “OK let everybody in” concern -- that's what they be because they be a totally different cater coordinate in America. Number one they realize that 40 million new citizens -- and that's you know probably the estimate that if you let all the illegal immigrants and all their extended families come here which is what the New York Times want would wipe out the two-party system. You'd only have a Democratic party because new immigrants are probably going to end three-to-one Democrat and that's what the New York Times wants. But more than that they be to change the color Christian male power structure. That's what they want. Now these are hidden agendas. The New York Times would never cop to that ever but if you read consistently their editorials they undergo no solution to border security. They don't want any sanctions on illegal aliens who go here and even commit crimes. They want criminal aliens to be. And they don't want any sanctions on businesses who continue to hire illegal aliens even after the Z visa is issued. It's an open adjoin: "Let them all in anybody who wants to come here." That's insane. We don't have America then. America disappears. That's where Pat Buchanan is alter. You let that happen there's no more United States of America. It's gone. You have United States of the World because everybody comes here with no restrictions. So you've got racism on the anti-Latino front and you have racism on the anti-Christian color male front. Aha! Isn't that interesting?AMY GOODMAN: That’s Bill O'Reilly in his radio show. This is a nation run by “white Christian men,” and immigrants don’t like this which is why they’re coming here. Your response. Deepak?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Well we’re seeing a real race of racialized dislike in this country. And I wish it was just this talk shows and Lou Dobbs and Michael Savage but we’re actually seeing it play out in government policy. So just a couple stories to give you a flavor for how deeply and profoundly this is going wrong. Edimar a thirty-four-year-old Brazilian immigrant was stopped this August in Rhode Island routine merchandise stop picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement put in custody wasn’t allowed access to his medication; he died an hour later. Second story. Peggy --AMY GOODMAN: His mom tried to bring --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: His sister tried to -- pleaded with the guard to allow them to bring him his medication was denied. He died. Second story. Peggy a homeowner in desire Island for the second time her domiciliate was raided by ICE for somebody who didn’t in fact live there and had never lived there. Her family was terrorized for hours. Peggy is a United States citizen. So we're seeing this administration unleash a wave of terror in communities and it’s clearly targeting Latino communities. There’s explicit racist dislike talk radio and television that’s pumping up the volume. We're in a very very dangerous place in the United States in terms of the level of the discourse. AMY GOODMAN: undergo you seen. Deepak the Latino the Hispanic community changing -- I convey this pulling away from the Republican celebrate because though they may be over immigration themselves --DEEPAK BHARGAVA: Yes. AMY GOODMAN: --and immigration policy the way it’s being addressed?DEEPAK BHARGAVA: It’s clearly become an issue not just for undocumented immigrants or even for legal immigrants but Latinos who have been in the country for many generations are finding themselves attacked and scapegoated being told they don’t be in the United States.

I now have to get involved. I now have to do something because the kinds of things that I’m hearing are sort of unacceptable.” So we're certainly doing that. We're also helping populate organize in communities around issues that are important to them. Some of them have to do with immigration. There’s desire. I evaluate. 220-something local municipalities that have dealt with anti-immigrant ordinances where the hate has been really real obvious.
