Maria Hinojosa
I watched your show this evening and was very disappointed with the way you let this guy from the ACLU deflect some of your tougher questions. I watch you a lot and this was the first time I've seen you "give way" like this and I wonder why. When you tried to ask him if he wasn't really playing both ends against the middle (which I thought he was), he just talked over you and you let the question go. Again, when you were trying to get him to explain about a single person going door to door asking folks about their legal status, he rerouted the question also (and you let him), at which time I turned the channel. I'm a lifelong democrat and have always thought the ACLU was a good, needed organization, but since this guy's taken the reins, I've had my doubts. Watching him wiggle his way around tough questions today does nothing to relieve me of those doubts. As a Black American, it's obvious to me, that the Latino Organizations are, as usual, fighting against the Blacks instead of trying to unite and become that much stronger as a result. It's bad enough we're fighting over the same scraps, but to fight one another is exactly what the Whites want and both Black's and Hispanics need to recognise this and figure out what we have in common as opposed to what separates us. To me, it's the most sickening and disturbing thing happening in politics today!
