Marcello Lucero was stabbed to death on November 8th by Patchogue-Medford High School students who were apparently &#8220;wanting to beat up some Mexicans.&#8221; Lucero arrived in the US 16 years ago from Ecuador and was the sole breadwinner for his family. A Suffolk County prosecutor said the &#8220;lynch mob&#8221; surrounded Lucero near a commuter railroad station and beat and stabbed him. Suffolk County executive, Steve Levy, immediately issued a news release denouncing what he called a hate crime. In fact FBI records on hate crimes against Latinos show the numbers increasing since 2003. Luis Valenzuela, executive director of the Long Island Immigrant Alliance denounced anti-immigrant legislation by Levy and others in recent times as factors leading to Lucero&#8217;s death. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUESTS: Luis Valenzuela, Executive Director of the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, Raul Anorve, Executive Director of IDEPSCA, one of the hunger strikers with the Fast for our Future campaign<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longislandimmigrantalliance.org\">www.longislandimmigrantalliance.org<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idepsca.org\">www.idepsca.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program A thirty seven year old immigrant was killed recently in Long Island by 7 teenagers, in an incident that police are acknowledging as a hate crime.
