While Congress might expect support for immigration reform from liberal-leaning mainline denominations, this panel was not the usual suspects: four of five witnesses were theologically (and, for the most part, politically) conservative evangelicals. Read more here:

Remember Marcelo: Calling All Bloggers! Long Island Wins is sponsoring a "Remember Marcelo" blogging event, where they're calling on bloggers from across the country to write a post about slain Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero on Thursday,November 5, or Friday, November 6.
BACKGROUND:This coming Sunday marks the one...-year anniversary of the death of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero, who was killed by a group ofteens in Patchogue on Nov. 8, 2008. Lucero's attackers told police that they would routinely go "beaner jumping" -- which meant they would hunt down and assault Latinos. One of the defendants said, "I don't go out doing this very often, maybe once a week."
The content of the blog entries is up to the individual bloggers, but they ask that each blogger embed the "Remember Marcelo" badge.

Jack Barrios (an Iraq War veteran), is fighting deportation of his wife. "You can serve your country in battle and still find yourself shafted by the system. That's what's happening to Jack Barrios, the Iraq war veteran profiled last month by my colleague Teresa Watanabe, whose wife faces deportation because her parent...s brought her to the U.S. illegally from Guatemala when she was 6. Then there's Nicole Hernandez, a white, U.S.-born mother of four, who recently packed up her Ohio family's belongings in a horse trailer and moved with her kids to rural Mexico. You can see her saying goodbye to the U.S. in a series of videos on the Internet."
These are the kinds of stories that were profiled on this great article (click on the link below to read the entire story):

The term "illegal alien" has now become a word that is unacceptable to use. So why is the U.S government still using it? Maybe it’s time now (as a first step) to call on our government to ditch the ‘illegal alien’ term and instead adopt ‘economic refugee.’ Read more here http://economicrefugee.wordpress.com/200 9/10/31/happy-halloween/

"Aztec" invented by western historians? The word, that is. Did you know that the indigenous people that came to make up what we now call ”the Aztec empire” did not even call themselves that? The Aztec empire was in fact not a homogenous group of people, but rather made up by three different main ethnic groups (also kn...own as “The Triple Alliance“) that were dominant over the others at one point or another: the Mexicas, the Acolhuas, and the Tepanecs. The homogenizing category ”Aztec” was actually first used by English-speaking westerners and was widely used by American historian William H. Prescott.
