Sensenbrenner, Frist mobilized Latinos

A columnist in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram offers this take on the immigration debate:

Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist should be flooded with thank-you notes from Latino leaders and Democrats after Latinos nationwide were mobilized to march for comprehensive, compassionate immigration reform.

The members of Congress, through their hunt-them-jail-them-boot-them-block-them immigration proposals, have galvanized Latino immigrants and activists.

Sensenbrenner's and Frist's fear-mongering have roused U.S. citizens and the undocumented to take a careful look at this country's view of immigration. Is immigration a path to the American Dream or the American Nightmare?
