El Paso Resident Skeptical of 2011
Life-long resident Jesus Ochoa has fond memories of growing up in El Paso, Texas. But he isn’t optimistic about 2011; he says living on the border with Mexico is an increasingly scary existence, and is upset at the failure of President Obama and Congress to pass the so called “Dream Act.” Ochoa joins us to talk about his hometown and its continuing challenges in the new year.
