  CNN Misses the Point with 'Latino in America'

  Trying to lump all Latinos into one group is akin to attempting  the same with Europeans.  Apart from the fact that we speak the same language, we are really that different from each other. As a Latina, I am offended at CNN's ploy to both curry favor with the Dobbs-loving gun-toting right wing-nuts while trying to expand their appeal to Latinos. If the network is really seriously pursuing this market, they would do well to get rid of Lou Dobbs and his brand of racist anti immigrant propaganda, and provide even handed coverage of  issues affecting the Latino community as well as acknowledge our contributions to this country. Perhaps Latinos in America was an attempt to achieve this. I would not know, since i did not watch.

  My Name is Aran and I am Undocumented

  You still do not understand. Because as you say you can find another job for which to apply. Imagine only having ONE shot at ONE job. And being told that it was a sure thing,  here, start the paperwork, this is going to be your cubicle, these are your benefits. And just when your butt is about to sit on that chair- it gets pulled out from you. "Oops, sorry!! Ha ha psyched! "That is a fairer picture of what occurs in this and many other cases. Furthermore, pray tell, move on to what? Students like Aran are American in education, values, and culture. How well would you do if suddenly dropped in a country you don't even remember? How would you make yourself understood if you no longer speak the language? How would you deal?
