Is immigration based hate speech aimed at Latinos getting out of hand? Although immigration growth has slowed down in the last 18 months, hate groups have been booming between 2000 and 2007.
Growth estimates for groups with explicitly racial hate messages, due for release this year, are expected to be close to 50 percent, according to a spokesperson from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). At the same time, data released by the FBI and California officials indicates a 35 percent spike in anti-Latino violence in the United States between 2003 and 2006.
“I do think it will continue. The fact that immigration is slowing down has not reached those groups,” said Mark Potok, director, Intelligence Report of SPLC, an organization that has expressed concern about this issue for the past four years, in relation to the hate group growth in spite of the downward trend in immigration growth.

Parallel to the mushrooming of anti-Latino hate groups, there has been a boom of nativists, white supremacist groups who favor U.S. born residents over recent immigrants. Since April 2005, 250 nativist groups have been established in various parts of the country.
SPLC classifies 144 of those groups as Confrontational Nativist Extremists or groups of individuals who exhibit anti-Latino confrontational behavior. Although they tend to be concentrated in Border States, some of the hate groups can also be found in less likely places like Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, and North Dakota.

According to watch dog organizations like SPLC and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), this surge in violence and vitriolic messages in the United States is worrisome. The Council, in partnership with likeminded organizations, recently launched the Wave of Hope Campaign and a companion website, WeCanStopTheHate.org, to draw attention to the issue. The campaign also urges news media networks and presidential candidates to set aside hateful rhetoric while addressing immigration and Latino issues.
“The immigration issue deserves serious debate and serious solutions,” said Janet Murguía, president and chief executive officer, NCLR. “We cannot have that debate as long as hate has the floor. There’s a bully in the room, and each of these candidates has a choice. They can stand up to the bully or they can cater to him. It is a question of courage or cowardice. To date, we have seen far too little courage.”

Murguía criticized cable news television for “handing hate a microphone” by hosting representatives from hate and vigilante groups such as Dan Stein of Federation for American Immigration Reform and Jim Gilchrist and Chris Simcox of the Minuteman Project more than 110 times, usually identifying them only as “anti-immigration advocates.”
She also pointed at television figures such as CNN’s Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck and MSNBC political commentator Pat Buchanan for copying hate speech and providing a forum that demonizes Hispanics. Representatives of CNN declined to respond to email and phone questions about NCLR’s allegation. The Anti-Defamation League, an organization listed in the Allies section of the new website, also declined to respond to questions about the issue and its involvement in the campaign and companion website.

The Mexico-United States border, with one million daily crossings, is one of the busiest borders in the world. The ninth longest in the world and the fourth longest in the Americas, it has an area bigger than some countries like Spain or Sweden and a population greater than Portugal or Guatemala.
Mexico City resident and architect Fernando Romero, with the help of nine project staff including two designers, interviewed academics, researchers and organizational representatives in North America to write about the United States-Mexico border from multiple points of view reflective of varied disciplines. In his recently published 317-page paperback book, Hyperborder The Contemporary U.S.-Mexico Border and its Future (Princeton Architectural Press, $35) he dedicated 15 chapters to the topic.

In the book, he describes the U.S.-Mexico border as “among the most contrasting borders in the world” and “a dynamic site that encompasses modern global issues.” He uses the term hyperborder to describe a geographical and political boundary as well as a demarcation line for culture and economic conditions.
Romero’s book is peppered liberally with black and white photos, maps, graphs, charts and bright orange accents to highlight and emphasize content. He starts from far away; looking at borders in other parts of the world to provide a comparative understanding of what makes the United States-Mexico border special. He dedicates several chapters to border data, reactions to the border and the relationship between the two neighboring countries and its significance.

Fernando Romero, author, Hyperborder
He examines 12 themes he believes will play a pivotal role in the future of the border and the two countries that share it. These are: security issues, drug traffic, informal sector, migration, education, trade and economic development, transportation, energy, environment, health and urbanization.
Mexico City born Romero is the founder of Laboratory of Architecture (LAR), a Mexico City-based architecture firm established to address society through a process of architectural translation and urban study.

Arizona is in the immigration legislation limelight. Beginning last month, it was the first state in the country to pass legislation, the Legal Arizona Workers Act, to punish businesses who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Although the Act only applies to new hires, some consider the new law aggressive, especially in light of the state’s high percentage of Latinos of Mexican origin, 89 percent. Others worry the new law will result in ethnic and racial discrimination and be difficult to enforce fairly.
“For me it’s very difficult. I feel as if these types of laws encourage racial profiling,” said Regina Romero, City Councilor of Tucson. “I don’t feel comfortable with these types of laws. Are we going to be targeted different? It’s very sad to hear what’s happening in our country. It’s very divisive. We will see after effects of this law.”
Under the new law, which threatens to punish employers who hire undocumented workers by pulling their business license; employers refer to a website to check a worker’s immigration status. Employers who violate the law will receive warnings before any action is taken. To date no companies have been fined.
Some Arizona residents, including elected officials and business sector representatives, say they will enforce the law because it is law although they disagree with it in principal. Critics are upset with the new system including the appeal procedures for workers who fail the verify process. Others plan to challenge the legislation in court.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2005, 65 percent of the illegal immigrant population of the state, almost half a million people, was part of the labor force. In 2005, undocumented foreign workers represented 7 percent of the state’s population and 10 percent of its labor force or double the national average. At the national level undocumented workers account for about 5 percent of the labor force.
In 2006, at the national level, 14.8 percent of the population was Hispanic and in Arizona 29 percent of the population was Hispanic. At the same time, 92 percent of foreign born Hispanics in Arizona were from Mexico compared with only 64.7 percent for the nation as a whole. Taking into account that nearly one third of the state population is Hispanic; and with so many of the state’s Hispanics forming part of the labor force, it’s easy to see how there could be a chilling effect for undocumented immigrants and the employers tempted to hire them.
No one knows how many laborers have lost work as a result of the law or what, if any impact, the legislation will have on the state’s economy. There are rumors that Arizona is loosing some of its residents but no one seems to know for sure. There are concerns that E-Verify, the federal database employers are supposed to refer to when verifying the status of a prospective worker, is inaccurate. Only a fraction of the state’s 150,000 businesses have signed up on the system.

In April 2005, California brothers Jerry and Victor Gonzalez established Maria Elena’s Authentic Latino Inc. to offer fruit beverages made from concentrate to Latino consumers in their area. They named the company in honor of their mother, Maria Elena de Gonzalez.
In January of this year, Maria Elena’s Authentic Latino Inc. introduced an organic horchata water soluble drink mix made with rice and cinnamon. The mix is rich in calcium without gluten or Trans fats. With a slightly thicker consistency than water based drinks, it is described by some as tasting “like cinnamon crunch cereal” without the crunch.
Manufactured domestically, the new drink mix will be available at natural food retailers in Southern California in 10-ounce packs for home use for $3.89. It will also be available nationwide in a 1.5 Pound institutional pack for restaurants and coffee houses.
“We consider ourselves Latino Food Artisans,” said Jerry Gonzalez, who worked with Whole Foods Markets for nearly 15 years. “Our mission is to use our deep understanding of natural and organic foods to offer consumers fresh new tastes that put both a nutritious and a delicious twist on traditional Hispanic foods.”
![Horchata hmprhorchata.jpg](https://www.hispanicmpr.com/images/2008/hmprhorchata.jpg)
New Horchata mix
Initial efforts will focus on distribution and eventually lead to a promotional program. The new horchata mix may be available in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada as well as online within the near future.
“Our initial efforts with Maria Elena’s Organic Horchata will be a strong push for increased distribution at retail, supported by Account Specific Marketing with key customers. POS, sampling, and cross-promotions with other health-related natural products are all being explored. We are also looking at targeted trade efforts, event marketing and interactive. As wider distribution is achieved we will follow with increased consumer trial-building programs and advertising. Budget is undisclosed,” said Joseph G. Albonetti, president of Latinolandia USA, Maria Elena’s Authentic Latino’s agency of record.
Maria Elena’s Authentic Latino’s primary target audience is second generation acculturated Latinos and customers who like Latino foods. The Hispanic owned and minority certified company is based in Valencia, California where it recently opened a food manufacturing facility. Maria Elena’s Authentic Latino donates a portion of its profits to La Fundacion Juventud Maria Elena’s, its foundation for Hispanic youth.
