Voto Latino conducted an interview with anti-immigrant hate crime survivor, Robert Cantu.

Cases like this one, and countless others are why I worry about the direction immigration reform is headed. Immigration has been colored as brown. So the equation usually breaks down a little something like this : immigrant=latino=mexican. Now math was never my strong point but I’m pretty sure that’s not right. So how do we make sure that the current moves for justice in immigration and against hate crimes are aligned, linked and honest about the ways race and ethnicity are viewed in this country?
