We sat down with Bun as explained how he wanted to see Barack Obama agressively address more issues around immigration reform. Bun noted that he and his group have lots of Latino fans and he was concerned that the plights of Brown folks especially those in Texas and the southwest were being overlooked.

Bun talked about the anniversary of Katrina and the role that his fellow Texans played in assisting those displaced by the floodwaters 3 years ago. Bun talked about how the mainstream media had totally blown out of proportion Houston's increased crime rate caused by New Orleans folks.
