America the heartless

By Ruben Navarrette
Jul 22, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: Before it's too late, Americans need to turn their attention back to the children. The lost children of Central America have themselves gotten lost in the fog of debate over what should become of them. Americans started off talking about the kids, but quickly meandered into distracting conversations about politics, blame, history, ideology and government funding.

By Ruben Navarrette
Jul 3, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: It's a summer night in Washington. On the Mall, across from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, people are sitting on lawn chairs and huddled on blankets staring at a white screen.

Hillary Clinton's immigration misstep

By Ruben Navarrette
Jun 29, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: We already knew the immigration issue was a tough one for Republicans. They have a hard time opposing legal status for the undocumented without sounding anti-Hispanic.

I had been invited to judge a high school debate competition. She asked what that was all about, and I told her it is where two teams square off and make well-constructed arguments, trying to convince a judge of their point of view. She asked, "Can girls do that?"
Pay attention to Venezuela

By Ruben Navarrette
Mar 9, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: When people are brave enough to stand up for freedom against repressive governments intent on maintaining their grip on power, the process is usually messy -- and often bloody. In Venezuela, for the last few weeks, blood has stained the streets of Caracas and other major cities.
