With the current economic crisis, the latino population suffers the most from the aging recession. Helping them achieve academic success is important to help them integrate better and feel they have equal chances to be part of the "land of opportunity" like all of us. Is it the time to close such orginization, I do not think so.

I do not know who said that gambling was a recession proof industry, but it is certainly not the case. When people have trouble paying their rent or mortgage, they will definitively play poker and gamble less. Just look how the casinos in Las Vegas are doing, and it is clearly a cyclical industry.
