Most of (the protests) are immigrant-driven marches. That's why you haven't had any big ones in San Antonio.

The importance of the marches are they create political consciousness.

I think former Councilman Barrera has strong penetration in the West Side precincts of that district. He doesn't come in as a typical challenger. He comes in with a base of his own.

If you start with the assumption that people go to church to steal from the offering plate, you'd make people very uncomfortable. After a while, they're going to stop going to your church.

That is only one issue, and that's not enough.

Both sides (of the debate) believe they have something to defend.
