...these things happening to the Latino community? To answer that question, one should ask "Why is the Latino community letting this happen?" In this presidential year, the candidates are paying very little attention to Hispanic issues. Other than Wilson and Pat Buchanan, both also-rans, no presidential candidate has tried to address the issues inherent in Proposition 187 and its aftermath.
