Academics seek to put a human face on undocumented Hispanic immigrants

- Leo Chavez, anthropology and Chicano/Latino studies professor, is quoted in Feet in 2 Worlds, on October 19, 2009
From Feet in 2 Worlds:

complained Leo Chavez, a professor of anthropology at the University of California,
Irvine.
