Dropping the anchor on immigration

By Ruban Navarrette
Nov 25, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: The politically correct should spend less time telling people what to think and more time forcing themselves to think. Case in point: Immigration reform proponents and other immigrant advocates despise the term "anchor babies" -- and with good reason. They hate it when politicians or the media use the phrase, and they will picket, protest or pester anyone who does.
The missing students of Mexico

By Ruben Navarrette
Nov 16, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: NewsMexico is suffering a national tragedy, the details of which make the Day of the Dead look like a walk in the park. And, for some Mexican officials, keeping up with the gruesome details can be exhausting.
GOP at crossroads with Hispanics

By Ruben Navarrette
Nov 9, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: Republicans are enjoying a well-deserved victory lap. But, when it comes to the touchy subjects of Hispanic outreach and immigration reform, they still seem a tad confused about the road ahead.
Conservatives' short memories on school protests

By RUBEN NAVARRETTE
Sep 30, 2014 1:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: What's really at the heart of that story from 2010 where five students at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., conspired to wear T-shirts bearing the American flag? Was it patriotism? Or petulance?

By Ruben Navarrette Jr.
Sep 16, 2014 1:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr.: With students going back to school, it's a good time to review the 10 lessons that Americans should have learned if they were paying attention during the last few decades of debating education reform. Once a student and also a teacher, I am now the parent of school-age children. So I can see this debate from three vantage points.
Looking for a work ethic in new economy

By RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR.
Sep 9, 2014 1:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: Long gone seem the days when people were glad to have a job, and grateful to their employer for providing one.
Tell the story, don't be it

By Ruben Navarrette
Aug 24, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: With reporters being threatened, arrested, manhandled, berated, shot with rubber bullets and pelted with tear gas projectiles, it is tempting to declare that law enforcement officers in Ferguson are waging a war against the media. Yet, even thinking this way shows that many reporters have lost their way in covering this story.
GOP creating its own nightmare over 'dreamers'

By Ruben Navarrette
Aug 10, 2014 1:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: I once used the term "spoiled brats" to describe "dreamers," those young undocumented immigrants brought here by their parents.Yet now I think the real spoiled brats are those House Republicans who -- with no skill for leading the downtrodden -- settle for punishing the defenseless.
Wrong script on immigration

By Ruben Navarrette
Aug 5, 2014 1:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: Just because you're well-known doesn't mean you're well-informed. Case in point: Eva Longoria, Mexican-American actress, social commentator and loyal Democrat who once mocked Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida for having "silly" ideas.
