Phoenix Latino civil rights group Chicanos Unidos Arizona requested to meet with Barack Obama to discuss immigration reform. Although our President was not able to meet with them, he promised that immigration reform will come very soon, even if he has to take things in his own hands.
“I understand your concern about immigration. Nobody is an illegal immigrant. The fact is that everybody came from elsewhere and our nation welcomes diversity. Thank you for your hard work,” President Obama wrote to Chicanos Unidos Arizona President Cecilia Maldonado.
Manuel Longoria of Nuestros Reconquistos says that Obama’s words aren’t enough. “There needs to be some sort of action that takes place. If the President can’t help out, many Latinos are willing to take drastic measures to ensure we take back the lands of Aztlán.”
