"America is a better country, for all its people, because of the vision and leadership of Cesar Chavez. "

"Mitt Romney's belief that Arizona's extreme immigration law, SB 1070, should be a nationwide model is disturbing and shows just how tone-deaf and disconnected he is to our country's fastest growing population."

President Obama’s budget for 2013 shows that his priorities are aligned with the needs of the Hispanic community and the CHC will continue to be ready to work with him.

I‘m glad the president believes that we have a lot of work to do. Even though there has been consistent private sector job growth for the past 22 months, unemployment levels are simply unacceptable. With 11% of Hispanics left jobless in the wake of a housing crisis and financial meltdown, President Obama and Congress must do everything we can to jump start our economy and to avoid creating another legacy of boom-and-bust cycles.

There is no doubt that Ms. Muñoz’s experiences working with Congress and advocacy organizations across the country will prove to be a benefit to the president.

"It is good news to see that if the American people speak out loudly, they can change the negative and unreasonable behavior as demonstrated by the House Republicans' opposition to the extension of the middle class tax cuts.”

“I’d like to remind House Republicans that what we do in Congress has very real effects on American workers. Let’s stop this ridiculous bickering and let’s help American families.”

Any reduction in unemployed Americans is welcomed news, though it is disappointing that the stats are unchanged for Latinos. The contributions of Latinos will be a major factor in our economic success for the years to come.
