520    News media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the 
       notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an 
       invading force bent on reconquering land once their own 
       and destroying the American way of life. In this book, Leo
       R. Chavez contests this assumption's basic tenets, 
       offering facts to counter the many fictions about the 
       ""Latino threat."" With new discussion about anchor babies,
       the DREAM Act, and recent anti-immigrant legislation in 
       Arizona and other states, this expanded second edition 
       critically investigates the stories about recent 
       immigrants to show how prejudices are used to malig.
