Happy New Year

So here we are heading into 2008.

Within the next three months we may have both the Democratic and Republican nominations locked up – and perhaps a clearer vision of what type of immigration policy we can expect from the next Administration.

When we started Orange County Latino, way back in October, 2001 – we had only a vague notion of how 9/11 was going to impact the immigration reform that George W. Bush and Vicente Fox signaled they were working on in the summer of ‘01.

Since then we’ve seen a backlash in the United States against globalization, immigration – making it politically impossible to find a real answer to try to manage the flood of immigrants from Mexico and beyond.

And from what the candidates have said so far – it seems that will continue to be the case.

We’ll watch this issue – and share any insights gleaned on this website.

Happy New Year.
