"In 2002, in order to better serve the burgeoning Latino population in the Southeastern U.S. MALDEF launched a full-service regional office in Atlanta, Georgia.
The office is charged with addressing needs for legal services and advocacy, ensuring, for example, that public schools' Latino children are provided an equitable education; fostering good relations between law enforcement and immigrant communities; and promoting fair employment.
In addition, the office also has a MALDEF Parent School Partnership (PSP) program, which provides a 16-week course for parents on how to become involved in their children's education."

Tisha Tallman: "Immigration control, she said, is reserved to the federal government"
"...in addition to creating MALDEF and [the National Council of] La Raza, [the Ford Foundation] funded numerous other Hispanic advocacy groups, such as the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and the Latino Institute."
Virginia's undocumented students “are the epitome of what we consider the American dream,” said Tisha Talhuian, regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which organized the news conference. “They've gone to high school here, they're hardworking and high-achieving.”
The issue of granting access to higher education for illegal immigrants has become increasingly controversial in recent years. The Virginia House of Delegates this month passed a bill that would prohibit admission of illegal immigrants by public colleges and universities.
Shot anymore citizens down mistaking them for Central Americans, Vicente?
Mexican police kill man mistaken for immigrant
What rights and entitlements did these people enjoy before you shipped them back home?
Or are they sitting in a filthy Mexican prison, presumed guilty until proven innocent as is the law in your country?
Tisha Tallman speaks during a forum on illegal immigration Monday night at Gainesville State College. Tallman is the Southeast Regional Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
Tisha Tallman, regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said Congress should address immigration and that a similar law in California was found unconstitutional.
"Anything the state tries to do in regards to regulation of immigration is unconstitutionally treading on the duties of Congress," Tallman said.
She said her organization fears a patchwork of state immigration laws, which would vary from state to state.
Democrats are trying a new frontal attack on Georgia Republicans, calling their legislative priorities a Cornpone Jihad.
The phrase comes from Todd Mitchell, whose blog Article of Faith has used it four times so far, most recently over SB. 529, the Chip Rogers immigration bill.

Hispanic Group Claims Olgethorpe University’s Language Policy Discriminatory

“We allege the housekeepers had been satisfactorily performing their job without a need to speak proficient English,” says Tisha Tallman, a lawyer with the organization. “We need to take a closer look at that policy.”
“We absolutely never had that policy. There was a sort of practice that said our staff needed to be able to communicate in English. And I think that policy is probably a legal one to have,” says Larry Schall, a former civil rights attorney who became president of the school last summer.

The organization’s motion seeks to join a lawsuit lodged against the school last month by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It accuses the school of requiring that housekeepers learn English in 60 days or risk termination. They also have to be able to speak and understand some English to keep their positions.
“There are more and more individuals entering the work force who may not be proficient in English. As they increase in the work force, we sometimes see the rise of workplace policies that might interfere with their ability to maintain their jobs,” Tallman says.
A second generation Mexican-American, born in the Midwest, Tisha Tallman regularly listens to Spanish-language radio. And she turns to it even more in her work as the regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), a leading Latino civil rights organization.
"I listen to it for the music, but I also find that on the Viva commentaries in the morning, people say what's on their minds," Tallman said. Hispanic radio has really "risen to the occasion of bringing information to the people."
Exactly. You really have to wonder what future they see for their children. My plans for my children's future don't envision them living in Mexico del Norte.
There are a lot of our own citizens who are looking for a better life,our own citizens who the new FOREIGN people took away their chance for a better life.
BUT the bottom line all this cheap labor is costing you and me and every citizen! We are bearing a huge cost so few may profit!!
The price we are paying so few may profit are overcrowded schools, overcrowded health care facilities, the cost of healthcare for the rest of us has been increased, NOT to mention the most important cost OUR SECURITY!
This illegal coupled with legal immigration, legal immigration with NO maximums is costing each and every one of us!!
How about you?
Thank you.
Exactly!
Interestingly enough, even Hillary kind of "gets it" where Mexico's nearly
omnipotent oligarchs are concerned:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/411104p-347791c.html
"[Mrs. Clinton] said she favors a "carrot-and-stick" approach with Mexico to
provide that government and its "oligarchs" the incentives to give Mexicans
more and better jobs in their own country."
Frankly, the more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more
reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back
monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with
economic refugees. Here's an interesting thread on new legal reform progress
that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1611677/posts
We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well, by cracking down
and demanding more activism by our own United States Trade Representative
against protectionist Mexican oligarchs in, for example, the monopolistic
petroleum, telecommunications, electricity and television media sectors.
Isn't prodding our neighbor to finally clean up its own backyard before
lambasting us for ours the neighborly thing to do?
Of course this legislation does something to solve this complex issue. It encourages ILLEGALS to move to other, more lenient states until those states get fed up with paying the freight for them too.
