Another major battle in the immigrantion war opens - congressional redistricting.

California redistricting: Latinos fret over redrawn map of California congressional districts - latimes.com: "Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials and a veteran of reapportionment battles, called the proposed new maps of congressional districts released Friday the 'worst-case scenario for Latinos in California.’’

'These maps in no way reflect the population shifts of the past 10 years that were documented by the 2010 census,' he said. 'Latinos accounted for 90% of the state’s population increase. When you look at the combined number of districts statewide that would be effective Latino districts, we actually end up with less than what we have now.'"
