Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has been chosen as Hispanic Magazine‘s Hispanic-American of the year. Not only is Gonzales, the son of migrant workers, the United State’s first Latino Attorney General, he was also passed up not once but twice to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. Gonzales was a key person in the creation of the Patriot Act and took heat for what seemed like his defense of the U.S. use of torture interrogation tactics. With the hot button issue now being the issue immigration, let’s see how well this Hispanic-American of the Year represents.
