When making the case for immigration's contribution to society, activists reflexively highlight the economic resilience of immigrant families, particularly their seemingly ceaseless drive to work their way up from poverty. While the tired "American Dream" mythology seems perilously naive these days, advocates nonetheless internalize the rhetoric of upward mobility when trying to deepen the immigration debate.

SAN JUAN (Reuters) - Firefighters made progress in containing a raging fire at an oil storage depot in Puerto Rico, but shifting winds threatened to bring the toxic smoke closer to populated areas, officials warned on Saturday.

On a very serious note, a number of blogs have been reporting on the incredible brutal and horrific murder of a 19 year old Puerto Rican gay (pictured at left). While many of the details of the murder - which almost makes me want to vomit thinking about it - are still unknown, what is equally horrible is that the police inspector investigating the murder has stated that the 19 year old victim "deserved" his fate because of his "lifestyle." Personally, I am SO OVER these assholes who describe... Read Full Story
