Editorial:

For the Hispanic community the City of Escondido is considered one of the most anti-Hispanic, racist cities, in the nation. Escondido is more closely associated with their driver’s license checkpoints with immigration officials on hand, the law that penalized landlords for renting to undocumented immigrants, city council voting to evict the Charros de Escondido from their historical park grounds in favor of a ballpark, and the police and ICE officials working hand in hand, than the down home diverse city of hard working people that it is.

<p>Latinos make up half the population in the city of Escondido. But many wonder what they can do to make the city a safer, more hospitable place for themselves and their families.</p>
<p>Some activists believe a better Latino voter turnout might be the answer. They say that a growing number of Latinos experience systemic racism in Escondido, especially from the city council and police department.</p>
