What Part of Illegal Don't Mexicans Understand? And why do so many homes have wrought iron fences?
The United States is the magnificent country that it is because of the contributions of the Hispanics. Hispanic Heritage Month is a month to commend these achievements, to encourage new ones, and to acknowledge the contributions of Hispanics worldwide.

While many board rooms may be discussing the challenges of having to do "more with less" and restructuring to reduce costs and infrastructure, some other are going back to the core that make businesses excel and thrive: the power of its people and leadership from within.
My cheeks seared red-hot, as I retreated...too embarrassed to say "my mother's maiden name is Barraza" in defense. I did not have my mother's name. Did that mean that I didn't have her culture?
I am grateful that my mother defied cultural stereotypes and norms and was pro-active about talking to me about sex from an early age, and I hope to do the same with my daughter.
Achieving that balance between community improvement and neighborhood assassination is, to say the least, a difficult balancing act. Some say that it cannot be done.
In a year of fresh Census numbers, financial recession and an uncertain and highly competitive political climate, it is evident that the size and power of Latinos are slowly but surely getting the mainstream spotlight it deserves. But, why hasn't the needle moved more?
