LWL - living while Latino. 'Do I look 'illegal'?'

A major social question in California, which has more people than any other U.S. state, as well as the largest number of Latinos. More than a third of the population is Latino and a quarter of the country's 10.8 million undocumented are in California. Many work in restaurants, agriculture and construction -- after crossing the Arizona desert, the busiest corridor for undocumented entry to the United States.
"It doesn't matter that they speak English. It has to do with the color of their skin.

Immigrants come here to enrich their lives and, in turn, enrich our country. Antonio Villaraigosa. Mayor of the City of Los Angeles
