News and commentary from ColorLines magazine and RaceWire blog. *Everyone needs health insurance -- undocumented immigrants too*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ipbWswP37OmD6K4ojySL1cWIQ99C9Hng> Why is our conversation around immigration so often driven to extremes, both of language and of policy? Perhaps the most talked-about moment of President Obama's address to Congress last night followed the dismissal of rumors that the new health care plan would cover 'illegal immigrants.' The "Accidental American" book shows why it's wrong and self-defeating to deny rights and services to immigrants.

More recently, he's been called a"socialist." But is racism lurking underneath these charges? ------------------------------ * * [image: rss-icon16.jpg] Subscribe to the RSS feed <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=a8TkEg7kol%2F%2BT0XCL1%2B9ucWIQ99C9Hng> [image: Twitter-16x16.png] Follow us on Twitter<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=iL2q8IGr4kxe1xYrfnwM08WIQ99C9Hng> [image: cellPhoneIcon.png] RaceWire Mobile - m.racewire.org<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6S8HsFNbixPMrgrRiAecS8WIQ99C9Hng> [image: facebook] Become a fan on Facebook<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=tnC1abCwwQHaXqGJ%2BxnJS8WIQ99C9Hng> ColorLines Direct is the weekly news update of the Applied Research Center (ARC) sent to subscribers, supporters and participants in ARC's activities.
