Geraldo Rivera Foresees Era of Prosperity for Latinos. Perhaps He Could Help me Find a Job?

The%20Great%20Progression_widecI just love the frenzy that surrounds all-things-Latino every now and then.

This time, the limelight is on someone’s our favorite Fox News commentator and Latino peddler Geraldo Rivera, who has just released a book pompously aptly titled: The Great Progression: How Hispanics Will Lead America to a New Era of Prosperity.

The book retails for $24.95, which is, like, mucho dinerito for those of us who are yet to find the prosperity Mr. Rivera is talking about. But, heck, if he is right, I am sure I will soon be able to afford it –along with some good health insurance.

¡Sí, se puede!

According to the Miami Herald:

Police in the Mexican border city of Tijuana say they have arrested six men for stealing pieces of the U.S. border fence to sell as scrap metal […] The Tijuana police department says the suspects intended to sell the steel sheeting as scrap.

Because, you know, climbing or digging underneath the border wall is now so passé!
