Alejandro Mayorkas Appointed To Head Immigration And Citizenship Sevices
27 April 2009, 1:30 PM. By Alex Alvarez
Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-born lawyer based out of Los Angeles, has been appointed to direct Immigration and Citizenship Services. Mayorkas is currently a partner at O’Melveny & Myers and was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the United States Attorney for the Central District of California. Mayorkas used this position to effectively prosecute hate crimes. With love. No, he didn’t.
He did this by creating the Civil Rights Section. In addition, he established a program that sought to combat violent crime by targeting criminals’ possession of firearms and he provided federal resources to develop after-school programs to help at-risk youth discover hobbies other than throwing a brick through a certain blogger’s boyfriend’s car window in order to steal his iPod. Ugh, at-risk youth are the worst.
Mayorkas also played a significant role in Bill Clinton’s decision to pardon Carlos Vignali, who had received a fifteen year sentence for cocaine trafficking. So, yeah for Latinos being appointed to things and helping ensure people don’t steal our boyfriends’ iPods!

I love how you basically copied or reformatted the blog post about this here (of course with your own liberties):

So much for giving credit…
And I love how you assume I copied or reformatted a blog I’ve never read.
I do see similarities between the two, especially at the beginning, but I assure you that if I’d used the blog you linked to as a source, I would have cited it. Thanks for introducing me to “latinopoliticsblog,” though.
No problem…it just looked like I was reading the same thing from somewhere else as this blog (from latinopoliticsblog) was posted over the weekend. They seem to have the current info on a lot of Latin politicians.
