#1221 - Minor Crossers | Every year, hundreds of children cross the border undocumented and alone, most in search of their parents in the US. This year, their numbers almost doubled. To find out why, we speak to Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist Sonia Nazario who has been following this situation closely. We also take you to the Upper East Side of Manhattan on a dog walk led by Brazilian dog walkers, we hear from a master kite flyer and we remember author Carlos Fuentes in his own words about love. | 5/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

We also speak with Dr. America Bracho, a health hero battling diabetes and obesity in Orange County, California, visit women who stitch their deepest secrets into quilts, and find out how those New Yorker cartoons are dreamt up. | 5/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
A Fantastic Program
Respecfully, I couldn't disagree with Nevada Smith's review more. This program is politically balanced, well produced, and one of the best sources on Latino culture, art, and music. In today's rather vitriolic atmosphere of politics surrounding immigration, this show is a breath of fresh air. This gringo from West Virginia is learning a ton...it has broken down stereotypes that I find in the media all the time. If more people had an open mind and listened to this program, we might have better dialogues about the shifting culture of the United States.
Great show
I used to enjoy listening to Latino USA on KUT when I lived in Austin. Since I moved away four years ago, I have missed this program and I'm glad to have found it again via podcast. Latino USA is not just for Latinos. It is news from outside the mainstream, that is very professional and well done. I highly recommend it.
Can't get enough
This is by far one of, if not the best news sources that reports for the Latino population nationwide. Not only does it cover currrent issues in Latin America, but it speaks the truth about what is really happening in the U.S. within the Latino population. I love it and am a loyal listener. THANK YOU FOR THIS PODCAST
