The forum was set up after surveying the viewers about what is of most interest to them. 60% voted for immigration.

Chicano Studies Professor Ester Hernandez and students from Cal State L.A.

The link in Spanish talks about the importance of education and voting for next president.

The combination of the minuteman, La Raza, will u watch?

It seems this has to do with the dream act. In the link I posted earlier it talked about the importance of education within the community, and, how voting for a president that can further your education is necessary.....

The majority of the panel is, "for", but, throwing in the minuteman gentleman makes it far more interesting to me. I am curious at what his input will be and how he will be received by these Americans of Mexican decent.

The board seems kinda one sided, doesn't it?

I thought from your main question text that it would be showing two sides.

THAT I would have watched.

Sounds completely one sided. I would watch it but it wouldn't change my mind at all and where I stand on immigration. La Raza, in my opinion, is a hate group that stereotypes everyone but latinos, mexicans, and the spanish in general.
I am not a liberal too and MTV's program always seem to be very left-winged, no matter what the topic.

By the way I saw a show on MSNBC about the border patrol agents and I was shocked to see that 90% of them were mexican, legal that is. Any show can be informative with an open mind not a one sided mind.

Exactly, the board is one sided, second MTV and it's viewers need to do a bit of growing up before they start calling for things they don't really have a handle on. How many MTVers have lost jobs because of illegal immigration?, or are they still living at home with mom and dad. I work in construction ( or at least I used to ) and I know a lot of people who also lost the jobs they were trained for because an employer could hire an illegal with virtual impunity and not have to worry about paying taxes, or Social Security, or Workers Comp, or Unemployment Insurance, or anything, they so generously left those things up to us, the legal workers, how nice of them. As far as the jobs Americans won't do thing, those jobs were there before the illegal invasion, precisely who was it who was doing them then I wonder; another exercise in logical
prestidigitation. So I suggest MTV should get the real story rather the up their ratings by placating this constituency.

No, that's no longer. An unlicensed pharmacist could be a pharmacist who's appearing responsibilities without a license. An undocumented worker, on the different hand, is not any diverse than an unlawful alien. considering the fact that all of us understand the distinctive words used for "unlawful extraterrestrial beings," i think of that's secure to head on from the pointless waste of potential in debating be conscious selection. in case you pick to be credible, locate something with substance.

I watch a preview on Lou Dobs and it was slanted in the favor of the illegals, they only had one who was against amnesty. And yes I will watch it. There is no fairness or balance

Few if anyone doubts the important of education, but many feel that granting the dream act is just recreating a unfair system where the formers illegals dry up the limited funds in the financial aid pool because most of the illegals work off the books so they would quality for the funds.

If the dream act is passed then those granted that amnesty will demand that it is unfair that their parents and families do not have status and it will be just the nose under the tent for a full amnesty
