Although, specifically, the 60 Latino-owned firms are interested in getting a chunk of the $21 billion that will be spent on the construction project, the fact that it’s a border wall is a technicality. The semantic trick is to call it an infrastructure project.
Al Día reports: “More than 60 Hispanic companies, all interested in constructing the controversial wall that US President Donald Trump wants to build on the Mexican border, are putting aside political and patriotic concerns for the chance to make money and create jobs.
"’Honestly, for us it is above all an infrastructure project and a way to create jobs, something we really need in New Mexico,’" Mario Burgos of the Burgos Group construction company told EFE.”

Someone once joked that Trump would need a lot of Mexicans to build his border wall. Truth is stranger than wit.

The newsletter’s top position this morning is reserved for one of the stalwart-change leaders in the U.S. Latino community, Rep. Kika de la Garza. De la Garza passed away this week, he was 89. I’ll grant that it’s nearly impossible to give his life an accomplishments their due honor in the brief space allotted to a news report, but NBC News’s Suzanne Gamboa did a very good job of it:
“De La Garza, a Democrat, was a founding member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and served in the U.S. House from 1965 to 1997, a service that began with Lyndon B. Johnson in the Oval Office and ended with Bill Clinton in the presidency.
“Only the second Mexican American from Texas elected to the House at the time, De La Garza became a force in the politics of agriculture because of his long tenure on the powerful House Agriculture Committee. He rose to wield the gavel as the committee's chairman.”

Descanse en paz, Kika.
