Latino USA show

Summary: <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: #1a1a1a;">Two out of five New Mexico voters are Latino, and hundreds of Latinos hold office in the state. When New Mexicans approach the ballot box, ethnicity matters less than how many generations their family goes back in the state. This makes for a less predictable Latino electorate, one likelier to vote for pragmatists than along party lines. Is this the future of the Latino electorate? And what do two Minnesota sisters who are part-time Texans think of Latino immigrants to the US? We also take you through an art exhibit in New York that paints the many shades of the Caribbean.<p></p></span></p>
