ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, April 8, 2006 -- An eighth grade student, Anthony Soltero, of De Anza Middle School has committed suicide after being told by school administrators that he would be going to prison for his involvement in the student walkouts last week. According to friends and family the suicide is a direct result of his meeting with the assistant vice principal of the school and occurred shortly there after. He was 14 years old. The school, which is closed for spring break, could not be reached for comment. Anthony’s funeral and burial are scheduled for Monday, April 10, 2006, at 9:30 a.m., 1953 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach. The services are open to the public.

    Wage war on poverty, not immigrants
    "Si se puede!" Yes we can. They marched by the hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles, by the tens of thousands in Milwaukee, in Phoenix, in New York. Across the country, Hispanics dramatically entered what has been an increasingly ugly debate about immigration in this country. ... When employers brought slaves to America, few objected as long as they were prepared to work without wages and without rights. When they began to demand equal rights, all hell broke loose.
