Commentary
If the illegal immigration/amnesty movement can claim one father, it is undoubtedly a man whose name you likely don’t know: Bert Corona. The issue now dividing America like no other began as a tiny campaign, nurtured for decades by the late Corona, a Los Angeles labor leader and lifelong Marxist-Leninist.
