Univision: Immigrant Therapy

The blog which intrigued me the most by its title, "Univision Embraces Hispanic Victim Psychology," iswritten by Stanley Renson who discusses a program called Univision which supplies the Hispanic community as a whole with information and entertainment, in a way easing their troubles of fitting into the United States. Ifound it interesting that Univision has such a large influence on the community as it was stated, "Their chief American political contribution has been the development and promotion of public political debates. They have done this both at the state level and the national level." Univision consists of political reporters and types of programming, which answer the many questions immigrants may have. I also found it interesting that President Obama was interviewed by one of Univision's reporters, Don Francisco, who had the guts to ask, "Mr. President, within our Hispanic community, there is a concern that not only the problems that we face are not being solved, but that they are getting worse. For example, Arizona's SB1070 law which practically turns immigrants into criminals; What do you think [of] that?" President Obama answered the best he could, but I found it very inspiring that immigrants are speaking up for themselves.

I find Univision to be very useful to the Hispanic community, because it supplies them with the news specifically pertaining to their interests. Immigrants should be the first to be informed of their rights and new laws or regulations toward immigration which is where Univision comes in.

  1. The idea of Univision is great; I think immigrants should have people supporting them in our nation. A lot of US citizens are very anti-immigrant without a good reason for thinking the ways they do, and I believe that if more immigrant rights' groups were to speak up, then maybe more people will feel less hostile towards immigrants.
