The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 10, 2015

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was booed Sunday, as he marched in the annual Dominican Day Parade. Christopher Sabatini, founder and editor of www.LatinAmericaGoesGlobal.org and adjunct professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, and New York City Councilmember Antonio Reynoso, talk about some who felt offended by the mayor's remarks last month, where he condemned the Dominican government for expelling thousands of people of Haitian descent from the Dominican Republic.
