My column today introduces readers to Arnold Torres, veteran of the immigration wars.

Today’s offering to Pajamas Media talks about a rash of ugly anti-Hispanic hate crimes — a multicultural affair.

Today’s column looks at how the GOP is fractured over whether to use race and ethnicity as wedge issues. How’s that for irony?

Today’s offering to USA Today talks about the traditional split between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans and how the AZ law bridged it. GOP, that’s your a**!

Today’s column deals with the mini-controversy surrounding radio talk show host Dr. Laura and her offensive comments to a black female caller — and explains, as few others have, what was really offensive about them.

Today’s offering to CNN.COM talks about the commendable remarks of NJ Gov. Chris Christie about how about both parties are politicizing the controversy over the proposed mosque at Ground Zero in NYC.

Today’s column deals with the DREAM Act, and why such a common sense idea is stalled in Congress. Not what you think.

My latest offering to Pajamas Media, filed from Phoenix, delves back into the AZ immigration law — from a tasty perspective.
