In 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law. The law required law enforcement agents to determine immigration status if there was a "reasonable suspicion" that the individual was not here legally. It sparked a conversation about racial profiling and immigration reform. Idelisse Malavé and Esti Giordani, a mother-daughter team and now co-authors of the upcoming book Latino Stats: American Hispanics by the Numbers (The New Press), talk about the rise of Latinos in the U.S.
