Salvador Reza: Creating a Climate of Hate
January 11, 2011Immigrants rights activist Salvador Reza wasn't as shocked as the rest of us when he heard that Gabrielle Giffords and several other people had been shot in Tucson, Arizona. He's used to what he calls the "climate of hate" in Arizona lately, especially around immigration and children of immigrants. From Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Minutemen to State Senator Russell Pearce and bills that demonize immigrants while loosening gun regulations, Reza notes, Arizona has been building its reputation as a state on the brink.Rep. Raul Grijalva, Amanda Terkel, and Salvador Reza
January 10, 2011"In a very human way you just don't ever think something like this can happen," says Tucson Representative Raul Grijalva, whose district is near that of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot on Saturday at a community event. Six people died in the shootout, which left Rep. Giffords and others in critical condition.
