WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America television network is proud to feature Senator Harry Reid on this week's broadcast of "Issues: Caras y Voces," hosted by veteran Latino journalist Armando Guzman.

Senator Harry Reid has represented the state of Nevada in the U.S. Senate since 1986. Today, as Majority Leader in the Senate, he has played an active role in the growth of the state of Nevada, and is a strong supporter of immigrant rights.

"Immigrants are the strength of this country," said Senator Reid.

The issue of immigration is crucial in the state of Nevada, especially given the impact that the economic crisis has had on jobs in the state. Strategic issues of the Democratic Party are of increasing importance given the recent election results in Massachusetts.

"Issues: Caras y Voces" features top leaders that impact the Latino community through one-on-one interviews conducted by Armando Guzman. Covering the White House and the Capitol for almost two decades, Mr. Guzman is one of the most respected correspondents in Washington. The interview forum airs Tuesday evenings during Noticiero Azteca America, the network news broadcast of Azteca America.

Past guests of "Issues: Caras y Voces" include: Congressman Luis Gutierrez (IL), New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Mel Martinez (FL), Congressman Xavier Becerra (CA), Senator Harry Reid (NV), former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Congressman Jose E. Serrano (NY), Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, NIDA Director Nora Volkow, ACS President Elmer Huerta, NEC Deputy Director Diana Farrell, California State Senator Gil Cedillo, former Senator George McGovern, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis.
