Linda Chavez is an author and syndicated columnist who served in the Reagan administration. She is longtime analyst of immigration and immigration policy in the United States, and writes a weekly syndicated column that appears in newspapers across the country and she appears regularly on cable news. Chavez authored Out of the Barrio: Toward a New Politics of Hispanic Assimilation (Basic Books 1991), which the Denver Post described as a book that “should explode the stereotypes about Hispanics that have clouded the minds of patronizing liberals and xenophobic conservatives alike.”
