Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

The issue of immigration is unavoidable at the Republican National Convention in San Diego. The Mexican border is just a half hour drive away, and many of the hotels hosting delegations wouldn’t last a day without immigrant labor. The question of labor is serious on both sides of the border.

TAPE: Border tour by Juan Gonzalez and Ayoka Medlock, who visit a swearing in ceremony for new citizens.
