Reunion Reflections - Class of 1976

By Robert A. Beltran, M.D., M.B.A., FACMQ - President - Latino Med Policy Institute

To Americans, imbued with the frontier spirit, a maverick is an admirable person,… Continue

Immigrants not a financial burden, Texas' State Report Claims

A recent report by the Texas State Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn says that overall, illegal immigrants put about $420 million more into state coffers than they take out.



An official state document that contradicts the idea that immigrants are a financial burden can carry considerable weight as Democrats take control of Congress, and as potential candidates consider their options in the 2008 presidential election.

Immigrants and Mental Health

The AP/Monterey County Herald examined how many low-income immigrants and their families have problems with access to mental health treatment because of "a language barrier and a deep cultural divide." The National Latino and Asian-American Study, conducted in December 2003 with funds from the National Institute of Mental Health, found that Hispanic and Asian immigrants had a lower rate of mental health problems than native U.S. residents but sought treatment for their problems less often.… Continue

New data from exit polls show Latino voters are strikingly diverse

Analyses of exit polls are detailing the values, concerns and motivations of Latino voters specifically. Their concerns, it turns out, are just as broad as those of other Americans.

Above all, Latinos are socially diverse. Recent arrivals might worry about different issues and vote differently than Latinos… Continue
