  Could it happen here? By Raul Ramos y Sanchez
  When I began my first novel America Libre in 2004, some thought the book's premise was unrealistic. An uprising by Hispanics? The idea seemed far-fetched, they said. Today, the skeptics are no longer so certain. The heated debate over illegal immigration has spawned a series of events that threaten to widen an already growing gulf between the Latino community and mainstream America. Arizona's controversial immigration law SB 1070 along with the state's ban on ethnic studies and calls for the repeal the 14th Amendment are the latest in a deepening nativist trend being copied by other states. Meanwhile,the Department of Homeland Security has warned local law enforcement groups of the growing threat of violent right-wing radical groups. Armed vigilantes patrol our southern border even as the violence of the drug cartels threaten to spill over into the United States. Given the climate of anger being stoked by sensation-addicted talking heads in the media, the possibility of organized political terror against Latinos becomes very real. Under a growing threat of violence, it would not take a great stretch of the imagination to see a large number of Latinos becoming radicalized enough to support a separatist cause. I posed the nightmare scenario of the Class H Trilogy as a wake up call to the dangers of extremism — on all sides of this explosive issue.
