25 Years in 25 Days (2010): SB 1070 and Hispanics in the U.S.

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 28, 2014

This fall, the Brian Lehrer Show is marking 25 years of Brian at WNYC with a year-by-year look at stories that mattered from 1989 to 2014. Find the full schedule and lots more here.

Also today: a look at the rise of the Tea Party from the town halls of Summer 2009 through the mid-term election of 2010.


In 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law. The law required law enforcement agents to determine immigration status if there was a "reasonable suspicion" that the individual was not here legally. It sparked a conversation about racial profiling and immigration reform. Idelisse Malavé and Esti Giordani, a mother-daughter team and now co-authors of the upcoming book Latino Stats: American Hispanics by the Numbers (The New Press), talk about the rise of Latinos in the U.S.
