They're Not Called Green Cards For Nothing
In the debate on immigration reform, most people think of Asians and Latin Americans. But recent rallies held by an Irish lobby group are getting major media attention and drawing appearances by prominent US Senators. 78% of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the US are from Latin America so why is an older generation of immigrants getting so much attention? Plus: a look at the city’s most diverse stretch of land – Queens Boulevard, the planned US-Iran summit on Iraq's political future, and your weekend plans.
