#1423 - Heartland




Latino USA show

Summary: <p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">This week: Nebraska. A state heavily impacted by a growing Latino population. We start with a two-part special report on Fremont, where a one of a kind anti-immigration housing ordinance is causing strife among neighbors. We look at the role of immigrant workers on the Nebraska economy, and debut our By the Numbers segment with award-winning journalist Guy Garcia. We meet teens legally allowed to be in the US but blocked from driving by the state, and meet two great heartland characters: an Irish immigrant teaching English to new Latino arrivals and a Nebraska-born Chicano organizer. </span></p><p> </p>
