Obamas to Host ‘Fiesta Latina’ [Didn't Invite Me]

No job? No health care? No immigration reform? No problema!

The president wants you to know he cares about Latinos, so tonight he will be hosting a special event honoring Spain and Hispanics. Why not?

Dubbed -what else?- Fiesta Latina, the event will feature performances by -who else?- Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan and George Lopez, because those are the only three Latinos we should really care about: they all have jobs, a health-care plan and more importantly an American citizenship.

Happy Heritage Month suckers hermanos!

¡El Colmo! Even ‘Polleros’ are Now ‘Made in China’

First it was the piñatas, then the non-Agave tequila and the figurines of the Virgin of Guadalupe. And now, the Chinese are taking over the highly profitable activity of smuggling people into the U.S.

At a time when arrests of Mexican immigrants crossing illegally into the U.S. is at an all-time low, a new breed of human smuggling is taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border: Meet the Chinese coyote.

Authorities in Nogales report an almost tenfold spike in the number of Chinese people caught in the southern Arizona desert [...] with at least 261 Chinese border-crossers arrested this year, according to the L.A. Times.

Mexican polleros would be best advised to move their butt if they want to remain competitive; otherwise, they will see their industry evaporate, just as it happened with shoes, toys, clothing, computers, etc. etc.
