Fulfilling one DREAM

By Ruben Navarrette
Dec 2, 2013 1:57 PM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: When you talk to DREAMers -- those undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States by their parents -- what you hear most often is that they just want to get on with their lives. These young people are in the legal version of a black hole. But unlike many of those who choose to come here illegally, they can't find their way home. Because this is home.
Arne Duncan's moment of truth

By Ruben Navarrette
Dec 1, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: When we talk about improving public education in America, should we mention race and ethnicity? Here's a better question: If we're honest about one of the biggest problems -- i.e., the low expectations that many educators have of some students that become a self-fulfilling prophesy -- how can we avoid the topic?
CBS too quick to retract

By Ruben Navarrette
Nov 13, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: "60 Minutes" reporters and producers at the venerable CBS newsmagazine made mistakes in putting together a story about last year's attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya -- and the story has been retracted. But they also got a few things right, highlighting important information that raises serious questions about whether the attack could have been predicted and prevented.
Hispanics now sit squarely in a difficult conversation

By Ruben Navarrette
Jul 24, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: Now that the George Zimmerman murder trial is over, let's hope we've heard the last of the awkward term "white Hispanic." For the most part, it is a media concoction that has only served to stir resentment from both whites and Hispanics. Welcome to multicultural America, circa 2013, where you can't tell the players without a program.
The egg on Heritage's face

Cruz finds redemption

By Ruben Navarrette Jr.
May 22, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarette: A couple of weeks ago, in a partisan jab, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (a Democrat) accused Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (a Republican) of being "anti-immigration." This was an odd accusation to level at someone whose personal hero is his father, Rafael, who immigrated to the United States from Cuba in 1957.
Tequila, with love

By RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR.
May 2, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr.: For Cinco de Mayo this year, I recommend a tequila that lets you savor a son's love for his father. The liquor will fill your glass. But the story behind it will fill your soul.
Testing the will of the people

Apr 1, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: When I listen to conservatives and liberals stake out their respective positions on gay marriage, I have to wonder if they're listening to themselves talk.
Hispanic Republicans walk a fine line

By Ruben Navarrette
Jan 24, 2013 9:14 AM - When you're a Hispanic Republican, the immigration debate comes with both obstacles and opportunities. This is true with two lawmakers who are among the most important people to watch in the debate that is about to play out in Congress: Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Jan 14, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: I often describe it as my most important job. It's the one that is the most difficult, and yet the most fulfilling. The job is being a parent to my three young children -- ages 3, 5 and 7. And in 2013, my resolution is to do it better.
