Obama overwhelming choice
among NCLR attendees
President Barack Obama is the
presidential election choice of 80 percent of Latino civil rights activists,
organizers and ordinary voters gathered at the National Council of La
Raza Convention this week - only 10
percent of those who responded to
the civil rights organization’s text
message poll indicated that they plan
to cast a ballot for Mitt Romney.
A survey of 804 respondents, attendees of the 2012 NCLR (National
Council of La Raza) Annual Conference, the largest yearly gathering of
Latino leaders in the nation, participated in the annual straw poll meant
to measure policy and issue priorities
in the Latino community. A 36 percent plurality of those surveyed identified jobs and the economy as the
most important issues to the community; immigration was narrowly behind at 29 percent, and education continued to be a top priority for 21 percent of attendees. The survey found
that 73 percent strongly supported the
Supreme Court’s decision to uphold
the Affordable Care Act, while 8 percent disagreed with the court.
Over the course of the past weekend, attendees at the NCLR Annual
Conference were invited to participate in the mobile straw poll conducted via text message. This year’s
number of survey respondents almost
doubled that of last year, most likely
a result of heightened awareness of
policy issues due to the upcoming
presidential election, as well as the
site of this year’s Conference being
Nevada, a state hit hard by the housing and employment crisis. This year’s
results differ significantly from last
year’s, in which nearly half (45 percent) of Conference participants cited
immigration as their top issue while
jobs and the economy were identified
as top-tier concerns for only onequarter (25 percent).
While immigration slipped as the
top issue, anti-immigrant measures
such as Arizona’s SB 1070 and
Alabama’s HB 56 are not going unnoticed; an overwhelming 77 percent
of those surveyed said these laws
have served as a motivating factor
for them to turn out to the polls in
November.
“The fact that Latinos are motivated to turn out in November is wel-
come news considering how important this year’s election is,” said Janet
Murguía, President and CEO of
NCLR. “Our community is clearly
spurred by the desire to speed up their
own economic recovery, and they are
motivated to turn out by the attempts
to marginalize the community through
anti-immigrant legislation. They’ve
made it clear that their voices in the
electoral process will not be silenced.”
Some political analysts have estimated that Romney needs as much
as 40 percent of the Latino vote to
win in November. The Romney campaign may plan to focus its efforts to
reach Latino voters in Florida and
Arizona, abandoning hopes of attracting Hispanic support in other states,
Murguia said.
The Romney campaign did give the
convention a five minute infomercial
narrated by Ann Romney, Murguia
added. NCLRaired the video during
the Monday luncheon “in the interest
of fairness”, Murguia said.
“Nearly half of respondents (48
percent) say that representing the
Latino community is their chief criterion, above partisanship; those who
plan to vote primarily to support a
political party prefer Democrats over
Republicans by a substantial margin
(36 percent to 5 percent). These data
only provide more fuel for the argument that candidates for office at all
levels should heed the priorities of the
growing and politically significant
Latino electorate,” noted Celinda
Lake of Lake Research Partners, the
firm that analyzed the results of the
straw poll.
Additional highlights from the
poll:
• A majority (73 percent) strongly
support the Supreme Court decision
to uphold the Affordable Care Act,
while only 8 percent disagree.
• President Barack Obama was
overwhelmingly the candidate of
choice garnering 80 percent of the
support of Conference attendees;
Gov. Mitt Romney netted 10 percent
support.
• Nearly half of the respondents
(48 percent) said that supporting and
representing the Latino community is
more important than supporting one
particular political party.
The 2012 Lideres. Every summer, the Líderes Initiative prepares a select cohort of young leaders to participate in its Summit Staff Leadership Development Program. Youth ages 18–26 are recruited for an intensive
four-day leadership training leading up to the Líderes Summit. Under the direction of the NCLR Líderes
Initiative Manager, staff share in the overall execution of the Líderes Summit, working independently and in
groups on various aspects of the event. Youth are recruited from throughout the country to ensure the creation
of a team that is rich in its diversity of cultural and life experiences.
Organized by the National Council of La Raza Lideres Initiative, the Lideres summit at the annual convention
held in Las Vegas this year, brings together nearly 500 young leaders from student organizations and NCLR
affiliate youth programs throughout the country. Participants polish their leadership and professional skills,
discuss issues that affect the Latino community, and explore ideas for community involvement and empowerment.
The NCLR Lideres initiative is a national program created to increase opportunities for Latino youth that will
maximize their influence as leaders in the United States through a wide range of leadership development and
civic engagement efforts. Lideres equips nd empowers young Latinos (ages 14-26) to pursue positions of
leadership and serve as positive agents of change in their communities.

Mexico’s Hot Political Summer
By Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
A little more than a week
after Mexicans went to the
polls, conflict and controversy
swirl around the July 1 elections. Almost everywhere-in
the halls of Congress, on the
Sunday talk shows, in bars and
cafes and on the streets-the
results are the hot topic of conversation. And claiming fraud,
a growing citizen’s movement
is crossing borders and transforming the elections into an
international issue.
The so-called Mexican
Spring has now transitioned
into the Hot Summer of 2012.
“We’re protesting how the
new president of Mexico has
been imposed upon us,” said a
woman who would identify
herself only as Michele at a
weekend protest in the international resort city of Puerto
Vallarta. “They are buying
votes and not respecting the
votes of the people.”
The young protester held a
placard written in English that
appealed for international solidarity.
On Sunday, July 8, the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE),
released a final vote count in
the presidential election that
gave Enrique Pena Nieto of
the Institutional Revolutionary
Party/Green Party Alliance
(PRI-PVEM) the big prize with
38.21 percent of the votes, followed by the Progressive
Movement’s Andres Manuel
Lopez Obrador with nearly
31.60 percent of the ballots.
Josefina Vazquez Mota of
President Calderon’s National
Action Party (PAN) scored
25.41 percent of the votes,
while the National Alliance
Party’s Gabriel Quadri trailed
a distant fourth with 2.29 percent, according to the IFE. The
federal electoral authority
stressed that more than 50 percent of the votes had been recounted.
Of the 46,878,451 votes that
were officially cast, more than
1,260,000 were tossed out because the ballots were marked
for unregistered candidates or
declared void due to error or
intentional mutilating by voters
protesting the political system.
The IFE reassured the nation: “To give an idea of the
speed, transparency and efficiency of the counts, it’s precise to point out the magnitude
of the work in which thousands
of citizens participate including
election councilors, members of
the Professional Electoral Service, representatives of political parties, electoral observers
and the media.”
But in a preliminary report,
the respected elections observation organization Civic Alliance charged that vote-buying,
intimidation and infringements
on the right to secret voting undermined the July 1 elections.
“Political campaign money
is determinant in the election
results,” the group declared.
Civic Alliance deployed 500
observers in 21 states but did
not witness the voting in 10
other entities, including regions
where so-called narco-violence and violence against candidates and political parties
was a constant during the election campaign, because of fear
for the safety of observers.
Another independent group,
contamos.org.mx, maintains a
website with numerous reports
of vote-buying, ballot stealing,
irregularities in the operation of
voting booths and other serious problems.
Based on accusations of
vote-buying, the alleged payment to the PRI of foreign
money via a Banamex
(Citibank) account and other
illegalities, Lopez Obrador is
expected to make an important
statement July 12 detailing
how he will seek to have the
presidential contest declared
null and void in the election
court system.
“IFE did not do its job of
cleaning up the results,” Lopez
Obrador said of the partial recount at a July 9 press conference. “We can’t accept the
results. We have proof that we
can’t go along with these results.”
The two-time presidential
candidate charged that the
PRI bought five million votes
for Pena Nieto.
The center-right PAN is also
demanding that the appropriate authorities thoroughly investigate campaign expenditures and law-breaking but is
stopping short of forming a
common front with Lopez
Obrador to overturn the presidential election.
An important segment of
Mexican society is taking the
matter to the streets.
Unlike 2006 when Lopez
Obrador’s partisans spearheaded post-election protests
against alleged fraud, the 2012
movement is attracting a
broader segment of the population. Expanding beyond the
university students who
launched the anti-Peña Nieto
132 Movement last May, the
citizen protest now encompasses professionals, workers,
housewives and older people
as well as youth.
On Saturday, July 7, the
movement flexed its muscles
with mass protests in dozens
of cities not only in Mexico, but
in Canada, the United States
and Europe as well.
Tens of thousands marched
in Mexico City, Guadalajara,
Tijuana, Monterrey, Puebla,
Aguascalientes, Ciudad Juarez, Acapulco and elsewhere.
In Cancun, young people led a
march past large hotels in
“frank violation” of a local ordinance that prohibits public
demonstrations in the tourist
zone, according to a story in
the daily El Universal newspaper.
It should be noted that the
Mexican Constitution, the
product of the 1910 Revolution, guarantees citizens the
right to freely express their
views.
In Mexico’s second most
popular foreign tourist destination, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, a
fired-up crowd of hundreds
marched through the streets
and rallied at the downtown
plaza. There speakers with
megaphones led chants against

Peña Nieto, the IFE and the
Televisa television network
accused of manipulating the
election in favor of the PRI’s
candidate.
A cardboard coffin placed
on the nearby Malecon proclaimed “R.I.P Mexican Democracy.”
Written in both Spanish and
English, colorful signs railed
against the political system and
denounced fraud. Posters included quotes from Emiliano
Zapata, Mark Twain, Malcolm
X and the assassinated 1994
PRI presidential candidate Luis
Donaldo Colosio speaking
from the grave. A university
instructor and architect, Gabriel
Perez called the subdued day
of July 2, when no large celebrations in favor of Peña
were visible anywhere, “a day
of national mourning.”
Puerto Vallarta resident
Maria Chuy Villaseñor said the
IFE should respect its own
rules and throw out the election.
“We aren’t in agreement,”
Villasenor told FNS. “The IFE
is corrupt. The IFE has an obligation to be straight forward.
It works for the people, not the
government. They receive big
salaries just to let us down.”
Villaseñor added that a proposal by La Jornada Jalisco
columnist Salvador Cosio to require a second round of voting
between the two top vote-getters in situations in which no
candidate wins a 50 percentplus majority, would probably
be a good idea to put into practice.
Ironically, the PRI reportedly might contest the Puerto
Vallarta municipal election,
which was also held on July 1.
In a big upset win, Ramon “El
Mochilas” Guerrero was declared the Pacific resort city’s
new mayor when voters officially tossed out the PRI after
three successive municipal administrations.
Once identified with the
conservative PAN, Guerrero
jumped ship to become the
mayoral candidate of the Citizen Movement party, an orga-
nization which was part of leftist leader Lopez Obrador’s
electoral coalition.
Feeding the passion of antiPeña Nieto protesters is the
widespread perception, with
mounting evidence, that the
presidential election was
bought and sold.
Reports of vote-buying and
other irregularities continue
trickling into FNS, including
accounts of how potential voters in the state of Jalisco cards
were shown cards that contained check-offs for social
programs dedicated to single
mothers, students and other
sectors of the population. Interested persons were told they
could select a program and
cash in once the PRI’s Jorge
Aristoteles Sandoval was
elected governor. The young,
former Guadalajara mayor was
indeed declared the victor of
the July 1 state election.
Isabel Colmenares, a young
mother and worker in Puerto
Vallarta, was the victim of a
crime that could have political
implications.
In an interview, Colmenares
described how she was waiting for a bus with her threeyear-old daughter in a heavilytransited zone of Puerto Vallarta last June 22, when she
reached for the fare only to
have the wallet snatched from
her hands by a young man who
took off running; the theft occurred in broad daylight.
In addition to losing all the
money she had saved, Colmenares realized that her voter
identification card was among
the items stolen along with the
wallet. With the elections approaching, she then attempted
to get proof of voter eligibility
from the IFE but was told that
officials were too busy with
other tasks to help at the late
date. Subsequently, Colmenares did not vote.
“It made me angry. I was
never interested in politics like
I was in the last few months,”
she said of her experience. “I
had hoped to give my vote to

Building a South Bay University Earns
Strong Support from San Diegans
Our Greater San Diego Vision survey shows strong support for the
development of a University in San Diego’s South Bay
Preliminary results from
The San Diego Foundation’s
Our Greater San Diego Vision survey indicated that
61% of responses supported
building a new university in the
South Bay to meet the higher
education needs of people
throughout the region and to
place jobs near housing centers.
The concept received strong
support from all age groups
with the highest favorable response (68%) from young
adults aged 18 to 34. Support
for a South Bay university also
drew a 72% positive response
from Hispanics and 74%
strong response from African
Americans. All regions supported the university concept
with the South Bay generating
a 72% positive response.
A new university, according
to the survey, is a key component of helping the San Diego
region become an international
hub for new job creation.
The ShowYourLoveSD.org
survey generated more than
30,000 responses from San
Diegans, representing diverse
demographics including age,
ethnicity, religion and geogra-
phy. The survey generated
more than 71,000 individual
modules regarding issues ranging from education, community
and cultural amenities, jobs and
economic growth, to future
land-use and planning scenarios for San Diego.
“San Diego County has outstanding universities in other
regions,” said Bob Kelly, president and CEO of The San Diego Foundation. “San Diegans
are telling us quite clearly that
we need to develop a higher
learning center in our South
Bay region.”
Kelly noted that such an
entity would provide numerous
benefits to the regions in addition to higher learning.
“A South Bay university,”
said Kelly, “would contribute a
great deal to a community by
increasing the opportunity for
a higher-paying workforce –
which would translate to increased economic benefits for
goods and services and housing — and positioning the region for recruitment of more
diverse businesses and employers. It would catalyze
economic development and
potentially enhance our relationship with Mexico.”
Chula Vista mayor Cheryl
Cox noted Chula Vista has
taken a solid first step towards
building a university and job
park by acquiring 370 acres in
the southeastern region of the
city.
“We currently own 40
acres,” said Cox, adding, “negotiations are ongoing with the
developers who own the balance of 330 acres. The city of
Chula Vista hopes to acquire
60 acres late next spring and
the balance the following year.
That has been and continues
to be one of the city’s top priorities.”
The completed Our Greater
San Diego Vision document
will be presented in mid-July
2012, at which time The San
Diego Foundation’s newly
formed Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement will
convene to evaluate the results,
engage business, government
and community partners, and
serve in a catalytic role for
community problem solving,
civic education, leadership
training, and policy analysis.

Minority college students
who major in the STEM fields
– science, technology, engineering and math – earn at
least 25 percent more than their
peers who study humanities or
education, according to the results of a new study.
And those who took jobs related to their STEM degrees
earned at least 50 percent more
than their classmates who majored in humanities or education fields.
Published in the June issue
of Research in Higher Education, the study followed more
than 1,000 Asian and Pacific
Islander, Latino and black students over nine years. One
third of the students studied
were Latino. The students
were scholarship applicants for
the Gates Millennium Scholars
Program funded by the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation,
which awards grants to highly
motivated, low-income minority students.
While minority groups continue to be underrepresented in
the STEM fields, the study's researchers believe this will
change if students understand
how much more money can be
earned in those fields.
"The premiums for majoring in STEM fields are huge,"
said lead author Tatiana Melguizo, associate professor of
education with the USC Rossier School of Education. "We
need to educate students that
if they get a job in a STEMrelated occupation, they have
an even higher earning premium. Otherwise, students
aren't reaping the economic
benefit of all the hard work they
went through as undergrads."
Overall, Latinos reported the
highest average earnings after
college - $42, 180 annually -
relative to the other minority
groups. Black students reported earning $35,900 and
Asian Pacific Islanders earned
$40,261 (data in 2006 dollars).
Latinos majoring in STEM
fields also reported the highest
earnings among the groups
studied: an average of $56,875
per year, higher than the reported average salaries of
$39,365 for blacks and $47,530
for Asian Pacific Islanders.
For professor Melguizo and
her colleagues, these findings
are of particular interest since
nearly 14% of undergraduates
at USC are Latino; accounting for nearly 2,500 of the entire student body.
The study's authors said
more research must be done
to determine whether these
discrepancies are attributable
to different career preferences
among racial/ethnic groups or
employers' hiring decisions, as
well as the role colleges and
universities play in the career
and occupational development
of minority students.
"Among the high achieving
minority students we studied,
Latinos not only reported the
highest annual earnings overall,
but also reported the highest
annual earnings among STEM
majors," said study co-author
Gregory Wolniak, a senior research scientist at the independent research organization
NORC at the University of
Chicago. "Preliminary findings
suggest this may partially be
due to Latino students' ability to
find jobs related to their major.
These findings are encouraging
signs that strengthening the
pipeline of underrepresented
students into STEM careers
offers a viable solution to our
nation's growing competitiveness problem in engineering and
science fields."
Funding for the study was
provided by the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation through the
Institute for Higher Education
Policy.
Hugo Morales, co-founder
and Executive Director of the
Radio Bilingüe national Latino
noncommercial radio network,
has been appointed by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. to
the California State University
(CSU) Board of Trustees. With
23 campuses and more than
420,000 students, CSU is the
largest university system in the
nation and one of the leading
conferrers of undergraduate
diplomas for students from
low-income families, Latinos
and other students of color.
In 1976, Morales organized
farmworkers, teachers, students and artists to launch Radio Bilingüe as a single public
radio station for the large rural
and urban Latino communities
of Fresno and the surrounding
San Joaquin Valley of California. At the time, Morales, a
graduate of Harvard College
and Harvard Law School, was
an adjunct professor of La
Raza Studies at CSU’s Fresno
State University. Ever since,
he has been Executive Director of Radio Bilingüe and a pioneer and advocate for bilingual
and minority-controlled public
media throughout the country.
In 1984, Radio Bilingüe expanded with a national Spanish language news service carried by more than 100 public
stations in the U.S., Puerto Rico
and Mexico. The network now
owns and operates seven of its
own major FM stations in California (in Fresno, Modesto,
Bakersfield, Salinas, El Centro,
Reprinted from LatinoLA.com Mendocino and Paso Robles),
additional stations in Arizona,
Colorado and New Mexico,
new stations under construction in South Texas, and a 24hour satellite programming
service with information and
cultural programming used by
affiliates throughout the country and national production studios in Oakland.
Morales, a Mixtec Indian
from Oaxaca Mexico, grew up
as a child farmworker in
Sonoma County, California. He
says, “My interest in education
is part of my DNA. I know
how an excellent college education changed my life, and I
know the stakes now for students with the same hopes and
dreams that I had for myself
and my family. Radio Bilingüe
itself is first and foremost about
education and ensuring access
to information for those who
are underserved.”
Morales has served on
many educational, philanthropic and community boards.
As a 1998-2004 member of the
Western Association of
Schools and Colleges (WASC)
accreditation commission, he
reviewed the fiscal, administrative and academic practices of
numerous higher education institutions. From 2003 to 2011,
he served on the California
Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC), advising the
Governor and the state legislature on policy. He says, “this
experience will serve me well
on the CSU Board of Trustees
at such a critical moment for
education in our state. I am
honored to have been appointed by Governor Brown
and I look forward to working
for the passage of the ballot
initiative this November that
will support the CSUs and the
rest of California’s public education system to regain some
of the ground lost during these
challenging economic times
toward fulfilling our promise to
all students.”
Morales is a past chairperson of the Rosenberg Foundation (current trustee), Central
California Legal Services, the
National Federation of Community Broadcasters, and
California Tomorrow. He was
a recent trustee of the San
Francisco Foundation. Currently he serves on The California Endowment Board of
Trustees (past finance committee member), The Fresno
County First 5 Commission,
The California State University,
Fresno President’s Advisory
Council, the University of California - Merced Board of
Trustees (founding member),
and the Fresno Unified School
District’s Graduation Task
Force. A resident of Fresno, his
honors include a MacArthur
Foundation Fellowship, the Edward R. Murrow Award (public broadcasting’s highest honor)
and the Lannan Foundation
Cultural Freedom Award.
Morales’ CSU Trustee term
is effective immediately and
will be up for California State
Senate confirmation next year.
The compensation as a CSU
trustee is $100 per diem.
Historic Freedom
Summer
Chicana studies programs, centers and departments sprouted
on college campuses and universities nationwide. Actually,
unbeknownst to most people,
this discipline sprouted worldwide, from Mexico to Europe
and Asia.
To their chagrin, this very
same process is now beginning
to take place at K-12 schools
nationwide. Rather than bury
Raza studies, they have and are
actually contributing to the reenactment of that cosmic
drama.
Amazingly, by eliminating
MAS this year, another historic
drama is also being reenacted.
When the TUSD governing
board complied with the state's
anti-Ethnic Studies HB 2281 in
January of this year, purportedly
because MAS teaches hate,
promotes segregation and the
overthrow of the government,
the board did not simply eliminate a department, they did
not simply ban a curriculum,
its books and accompanying
teaching materials. What they
actually did was attempt to outlaw a worldview – a worldview
that literally is related to the
Popol Vuh.
Mr. Horne and his supporters have long insisted that the
MAS curriculum is outside of
Western civilization. In their
own definition, they are cor-
portedly close to 6,000 years
old.
Thus, there is nothing foreign about maiz; it is one of the
ultimate symbols of the story
of this continent.
In that spirit, as a community, we invite the detractors to
cease being detractors. And
we invite everyone to come to
Tucson's freedom summer and
learn what thousands of students have already learned. In
that spirit, as a community, we
offer you the words of In Lak'
Ech, which also come to us
from the Maya, an ethos taught
to our students:
In lak' Ech
Tú eres mi otro yo.
Si te hago daño a ti
Me hago daño a mí
mismo.
Sí te amo y respeto,
Me amo y respeto yo.
You are my other me.
If I do harm to you,
I do harm to myself.
If I love and respect you,
I love and respect myself.
(con’t from page 1)
will be going back, to plant the
seeds. Soon, educators will be
proposing to their own local
school boards to implement
MAS at elementary, middle
schools and high schools.
It is an awesome story unfolding before our very eyes.
And in a sense, this is the second time this is being playing out.
The 1st time occurred in 1969
via El Plan de Santa Barbara.
At that historic gathering, the
seeds were planted and soon
thereafter, hundreds of Chicano/

USC STEM Programs
In response to President
Obama's mandate that the
United States produce more
scientists and engineers to
maintain its edge in an increasingly competitive global economy, USC has rolled out a
variety of collaborative research projects in the STEM
fields to accomplish this goal.
Among these projects include:
• A Web-based gardening
game called "Virtual Sprouts"
that combines teaching and
technology to reduce rates of
obesity among children in inner-city Los Angeles
• An interactive website,
mobile app and game to teach
children about water conservation. The "Water Equals"
project was funded by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture in
collaboration with 20 other universities nationwide.
• The development of an
educational toolkit that includes
research and interventions to
educate teachers, clinicians
and parents about autism.
The USC Rossier School of
Education (ross-EAR) is one
of the world's premier centers
for the study of urban education. In addition to the school's
transformational research and
partnerships, Rossier also prepares teachers and educational
leaders who are committed
to improving urban education
locally, nationally and globally.
rect. MAS does not owe its
roots to Greco-Roman culture,
but rather to the ancient Indigenous maiz culture of this very
continent.
Aside from the fact that the
MAS department was highly
successful, it should be an
honor for Tucson and the state
to be able to showcase the accomplishments of MAS. Tucson is no stranger to maiz; it is
purportedly the home of the
oldest (some 4,000 years) surviving cornfield in the United
States, on the corner of Silver
Bell and Ina. The state of New
Mexico, at Bat Cave, is the site
of the oldest corncob ever
found in the United States, pur-

¡No Se Deje!
LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
Por Lic. Jess J. Araujo
Responsabilidades Legales y Financiera
de los Patrocinadores de Inmigrantes
En 1997, el Congreso de los
Estados Unidos aprobó grandes cambios a las leyes de
inmigración del país. Unos de
los cambios menos anunciados
son los nuevos requerimientos
y responsabilidades de los
patrocinadores financieros.
Las personas que apliquen
para las visas de residente
permanente legal (green cards)
como parientes inmediatos de
ciudadanos de Estados Unidos
o de inmigrantes residentes
permanentes legales deben
tener un patrocinador financiero. Los Parientes Inmediatos son padres, cónyuges,
e hijos solteros menores de 21
años. Otros familares que
califican e inmigrantes que
entran como trabajadores
calificados tambien deben
tener un patrocinador financiero. Cónyuges e hijos
abusados pueden aplicar para
visas de inmigrante directamente sin la cooperación del
abusador, y no tienen que tener
un patrocinador financiero. Y,
viudas y viudos de ciudadanos
y residentes permanentes no
tienen que tener patrocinadores financieros.
Usualmente, se requiere que
la persona que califica para
inmigrar a un pariente entregue
una “DECLARACIÓN DE
PAT R O C I N I O ” ( f o r ma
USCIS I-864) al posible
inmigrante. El inmigrante debe
entregarla a los oficiales
Consulares en su país o a
oficiales de Inmigración en
este país al momento de su
entrevista personal. Aún los
inmigrantes Residentes Permanentes pueden ser deportados si utilizaron ciertos
beneficios del gobierno dentro
LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO
de los 5 años de inmigrar a este
país. Estos beneficios incluyen
E S TA M P I L L A S PA R A
COMIDA, MEDICAID,
INGRESO DE SEGURO
SUPLEMENTARIO, y ASISTENCIA TEMPORAL POR
FAMILIAS NECESITADAS
(en inglés TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY
FAMILIAS o TANF). A los
Patrocinadores Financieros se
les puede requerir que devuelvan al gobierno el valor de
estos beneficios si fueron
proveídos a los inmigrantes
durante este período. Aún
después del período de 5 años,
si el inmigrante solicita ciertos
beneficios Federales o Estatales, esas agencias gubernamentales pueden considerar los
ingresos del patrocinador para
determinar la elegibilidad.
Los patrocinadores deben
ser Ciudadanos de Estados
Unidos o Residentes Permanentes Legalmente admitidos, al menos de 21 años de
edad y con domicilio en
Estados Unidos. Los patrocinadores deben ser capaces
de demostrar que sus ingresos
son iguales o mayores del
125% de los niveles actuales
de Pobreza bajo las reglas
Federales. Si sus ingresos no
son suficientes, patrocinadores
financieros adicionales también
pueden firmar Declaraciones
de Patrocinio financiero. Ellos
también deben demostrar que
sus ingresos, al ser agregados
al del patrocinador primario,
cumplen el requerimiento federal de ingresos. Si el ingreso
no es suficiente, se puede usar
el dinero en cuentas bancarias,
acciones, y bienes raíces para
cumplir los requisitos.
Los siguientes son algunos
de los niveles requeridos para
determinados tamaños de familia bajo las Guías Federal de
Pobreza:
Familia de 4…El ingreso
requerido del Patrocinador es
$26,500 por año,
$35,500 por año,
$44,500 por año.
Los patrocinadores financieros están legalmente
obligados por contrato a
cumplir con la garantía de
proveer el apoyo financiero al
inmigrante y a las agencias
gubernamentales que dieron al
inmigrante los beneficios
indicados. Los patrocinadores
pueden ser demandados por los
inmigrantes y por las agencias
gubernamentales para hacer
cumplir las obligaciones
financieras. Las obligaciones
del patrocinador continúan
hasta que el inmigrante se hace
ciudadano, trabaja o contribuye
al Seguro Social por 10 años,
se va del país, o muere. En
algunos casos de divorcio
reciente, las esposas han
podido obligar que los esposos
que firmaron la Declaración de
Patrocinio federal paguen el
125% de las Guías de Pobreza
cuando era más de lo que las
cortes de divorcio acumulan.
El Soporte Informativo Para Millones
de Hispanos
Por Luisa Fernanda Montero
De huracanes, tormentas
y peligros
La temporada de huracanes
apenas comienza y junto a la
ola de calor ya deja varios
muertos en todo el país por lo
que se hace imperativo recordar que siempre, como reza
el viejo adagio: “soldado
prevenido vale por dos”.
La temporada de huracanes
que se inicia en junio y continúa
hasta el mes de noviembre
puede dejarnos amargas
experiencias si no tomamos las
precauciones del caso.
Para empezar, esté atento
a las advertencias de los
medios de comunicación, la
distracción no es buena consejera a la hora de enfrentar
los avances de la naturaleza y
si está bajo alerta de huracán
infórmese cuanto antes sobre
los planes de emergencia de su
comunidad, sobre las rutas de
evacuación y los refugios.
Los Centros de Control de
Enfermedades – CDC – recomiendan, para empezar, que
revise los peligros inminentes
de su hogar – recuerde, por
ejemplo, que los fuertes vientos
arrastran tejas y que las
ventanas pueden ser un punto
de quiebre — y asegúrese de
atenderlos antes de la tormenta.
Tenga en cuenta que puede
haber peligro de inundación y
que en estas circunstancias es
urgente controlar las fuentes
de electricidad y disminuir así
los riesgos de incendio. Sea
extremadamente cuidadoso
con los cables eléctricos que
puedan desprenderse, tanto
dentro como fuera de su hogar;
en los últimos días varias personas murieron electrocutadas
en medio de las tormentas que
azotaron el área metropolitana
de Washington.
Si debe evacuar, cierre las
llaves de gas y siempre tenga
un lugar especial para guardar
lo más importante: dinero,
documentos, pólizas de seguro
y demás y asegúrese de que
ese lugar sea de fácil acceso
en caso de emergencia.
Es importante que usted y
su familia tengan en sus directorios los teléfonos de
emergencia, la información de
las rutas de evacuación y los
refugios.
Recuerde que es muy posible que, debido a la tormenta,
su hogar pierda el fluido
eléctrico, a veces esta circunstancia puede extenderse
por varios días, por lo que es
indispensable que mantenga en
su hogar el agua envasada y
los alimentos necesarios para
varios días.
No olvide almacenar alimentos no predecederos,
medicinas, pilas o baterías para

Groundbreaking Latino And LGBT Campaign
Launched At NCLR Annual Conference
LAS VEGAS, NV — In a first-ofits-kind endorsement, twentyone of the nation’s leading Hispanic organizations announced
Sunday at the National Council
of La Raza’s (NCLR) annual
conference in Las Vegas, Familia es Familia dot org, a comprehensive public-education
campaign aimed at strengthening Latino voices to build support within the Latino community for acceptance of LGBT
family members.
The debut comes barely a
week after the League of
United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the oldest
Latino civil rights group in the
United States, passed a resolution backing marriage equality at its annual convention on
Saturday.
Public opinion polls show that
Latinos really do lead the way
when it comes to attitudes toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) people.
Several recent studies by the
Pew Hispanic Center, Bendixen
& Amandi International, 2012
Opportunity Agenda and SSRS
found strong support among
Hispanics for a number of
LGBT issues.
Familia es Familia will be
a bilingual campaign providing
resources and information that
are culturally appropriate to
empower voices within and
from Latino families and communities. In addition, the campaign will provide training, technical assistance, and support to
the 21 Hispanic organizations
and will spearhead a national
effort to educate the public
through a range of viral components including: an interactive
bilingual website rich with videos, resources, and publications;
social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter, and You
Tube; promoting stories and
voices in the media; and an organizing campaign to engage
the community through their
mobile devices.
Participating groups include
the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC),
Cuban American National
Council, Mexican American
Legal Defense & Education
Fund (MALDEF) and the National Puerto Rican Coalition.
“The polling shows that many
in the Latino community already understand that there is
one struggle for equality, a
struggle that benefits from appreciating common mission.
Familia es Familia is a campaign that will help to deepen
the understanding that a discriminatory deprivation of
rights on any basis is a cause
of concern for all. Together,
we can overcome all of the
irrational biases that adversely affect any member?
of the Latino community,”
said Thomas A. Saenz, President and General Counsel,
MALDEF.
“NCLR is deeply committed to the civil rights of all
Americans, including our
friends and family in the LGBT
community. We are very proud
that this ground-breaking public education campaign, ‘Familia
es Familia’, is being launched
at our Annual Conference this
year in Las Vegas,” said Janet
Murguia, President and CEO,
NCLR.
Brent Wilkes, Executive Director of LULAC, the nation’s
oldest Latino civil rights organization said, “Since its inception, LULAC has fought for
the equality of minorities. All
individuals regardless of their
race, ethnicity, country of origin or sexual orientation, deserve equal rights.”
“A growing majority of
Latinos in this country know
that every gay or lesbian person is part of someone’s family - a son or daughter, a brother
or sister, a loved one - and the
more conversations we have,
family member to family member, the more support for the
freedom to marry grows,” said
Evan Wolfson, founder and
President of Freedom to
Marry, the campaign to win
marriage nationwide. “Latino
gay couples seek the freedom
to marry to affirm and
strengthen their love, their commitment, and their ability to take
care of each other and their
families; government should
not be putting barriers in their
way. Freedom to Marry is
proud to be supporting the Familia es Familia campaign to lift
up Hispanic voices and stories
as together we make the case
for ending the exclusion from
marriage.”
Prop X Construction Broke Ground at
Berry and Nestor Elementary Schools
SBUSD continues to upgrade and modernize its campuses
IMPERIAL BEACH — Construction has broken ground at
Berry Elementary School and
Nestor Elementary School as
part of the South Bay Union
School District’s construction
bond program – Proposition X.
In June, both campuses began
complete classroom and library
modernizations. The buildings
will be receiving a complete
remodel from top to bottom –
from the cabinetry to the floors.
To make certain that each
campus can properly serve students in terms of nutritional
meals, each campus will also
be receiving completely upgraded kitchens with stateof-the art equipment. The
multi-purpose rooms at each
campus will be upgraded with
the latest in audio/visual and information technology equipment to ensure students have
the most modern learning environment to prepare them for
their futures.
“It is the District’s priority
to make sure that our students
are equipped with the education and resources that are
vital to succeed in today’s
technologically advanced society,” said Aby Saadat, Assistant Superintendent, Business
Services, SBUSD. “We are
committed to making sure
these children are not only our
future, but that they are the
leaders of the future.”
South Bay Union School
District has been committed to
integrating modern technology
throughout its campuses and
processes. For example, the
District has already implemented interactive SMART
Board technology on all of its
campuses, which increases
educational resource possibilities in the classroom and allows faculty and students to
thrive in an interactive environ-
ment.
Construction is estimated to
cost $5.5 million at Berry Elementary and $6.9 million at
Nestor Elementary. Both campuses are estimated to be completed by November 2012. The
modernization program is part
of the Prop X construction
bond program that is modernizing all of SBUSD’s campuses.
In 2011, SBUSD was the
only public school district nation-wide to receive the Gold
Vision Award from Constructech Magazine for implementing leading-edge software
technology to efficiently manage the schedule and budget
for its $83.9 million construction bond program. The
well-managed program has
continually completed its
campus renovation projects
on time and on budget.

Meet Alarcón, discuss the
book, and enjoy free refreshments at the Poway Library,
13137 Poway Rd, on July 19
at 6 p.m. The title is part of
San Diego County Library’s
California Reads program, a
series of grant-funded events
designed to animate public conversation on the nature and
needs of democracy.
Alarcón was born in Lima,
Peru in 1977. At the age of
three, he and his family moved
to a suburb of Birmingham,
Alabama, where he grew up
and attended high school. He
currently resides in Oakland,
California. Lost City Radio
explores the aftermath of a
traumatic civil war in a fictitious South American country.
Lost City Radio has been
translated into several languages and was the winner
of the 2008 PEN USA Novel
Award and the 2009 International Literature Prize
given by The House of World
Culture in Berlin. The San
Francisco Chronicle, Financial Times, Washington
Post, and Chicago Tribune
named it a 2007 Best Book
of the Year.
“The promise of great literature is that you can, by
reading, enter the worldview
or consciousness of another
person, someone who may be
nothing like you, and in the
process broaden your own vision of the world,” said
Alarcón in a Cal Humanities
interview.

But Colmenares soon discovered that she was not the
only person who suffered the
sudden loss of a voter credential. In the 15 days prior to the
election, Colmenares said three
women friends, one in Mexico
City and two others in Puerto
Vallarta, also experienced the
theft of wallets containing voter
identification cards.
The thwarted voter added
that the type of robbery she
endured in the busy heart of
Puerto Vallarta is not common,
and that she had not heard of
any similar heists since the election.
In recent weeks, reports of
people paying cash for voter
identification cards that could
be used to fix elections were
rife across Mexico.
On another front, stories
continue to circulate about
people unable to vote and/or
observing irregularities at the
special precincts set up for
tourists and other out-oftowners.
For instance, a regular
reader of FNS, Graciela de la
Rosa, wrote that she spent
nearly seven hours in line before being able to cast her vote
at a special precinct in Mexico
City. Characterizing the scene
inside the precinct as one of
“total disorder and confusion,”
de la Rosa said she observed
people cutting in line while police from the nearby state of
Mexico, the home base of
Pena Nieto, were on hand.
“What were (Mexico state
police) doing in the Federal
District?” she wrote.
A story which is getting a
lot of play is a caper called
Sorianagate, in reference to the
huge Mexican department
store chain. The modernization
and digitalization of vote-buying, an electoral crime in
Mexico, is the essence of
Sorianagate.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Lopez Obrador’s camp accuses the PRI of distributing
more than one million Soriana
gift cards to people residing in
Mexico state in return for
votes for Pena Nieto.
As proof, the candidate’s
staff presented thousands of
the gift cards to the media and
publicized recorded testimony
backing the story, which gained
currency after Soriana stores
in Mexico state were jammed
with thousands of people attempting to spend the cards.
FNS also heard a credible account of a similar spending
stampede at a Soriana outlet
in Guadalajara.
According to press versions,
rumors had floated around that
the PRI might cancel the cards
after the elections. The air of
a double fraud emerged when
gift card holders complained
that cards delivered as part of
a highly dubious electioneering
tactic actually contained far
less value than they had been
promised.
The PRI denies the veracity of the Sorianagate claims,
contending that a sore loser,
Lopez Obrador, is puffing up
the whole affair.
Jorge Carlos Nuñez, vicecoordinator of the Peña Nieto
campaign, was quoted in the
Reforma news service calling
Lopez Obrador’s post-election
posturing “political terrorism of
the left” designed to get the
candidate something by force
that he couldn’t achieve at the
ballot box.
Soriana has also disassociated itself from political uses
of the gift cards, though the
growing scandal has already
reverberated in the Mexican
stock market, where company
stock plummeted by almost five
points last week, according to
Reforma. Meanwhile, Soriana
has withdrawn from circulation
in its stores the current issue
of the Proceso newsweekly
that has a picture of Pena Nieto
with the title “Bought Election”
on the front cover.
Lopez Obrador and company will likely include Sorianagate as one element of an ex-

El Código de Usos de Terrenos establece diversas zonas en
toda la Ciudad en la que los usos permitidos de los bienes
inmuebles se especifican. Usos de propiedad que fueron una
vez, pero ya no, se deja en una zona cual se conoce como
usos “no conforme”. Un uso de propiedad puede llegar a ser no
conforme, si el uso se permitía originalmente en la zona en que
se encuentra la propiedad, pero ya no es permitido debido a un
cambio en la zonificación de la propiedad. En general, un uso
no conforme puede continuar indefinidamente en existencia, a
menos que el uso es abandonado, la estructura en la que se
encuentra el uso se destruye, o el uso se interrumpe.
“Amortización” es un proceso establecido por la Ordenanza
de la Ciudad en el 2006 por el cual un uso inconforme legal
debe ser suspendido después de un período de tiempo que sea
suficiente para que el negocio recupere su inversión. El proceso
de amortización se proporciona para la intervención de la persona cuyo uso está siendo afectado, incluido el derecho a realizar
una presentación en una audiencia pública. En National City la
amortización no se aplica a los usos residenciales legales. La
amortización establece un método para cambiar gradualmente
los usos a que se ponga tierra en una parte o partes de la
comunidad. Amortización no debe confundirse con la
expropiación; no es un método para la Ciudad de adquirir bienes
para obras públicas o proyectos de reurbanización. A pesar de
que las cláusulas de amortización han sido parte del Código de
la Ciudad de Uso de Terreno desde 2006, hasta la fecha ningún
uso de la propiedad ha sido suspendido en National City en
conformidad con el proceso de amortización.

pected election challenge with
the Federal Electoral Tribunal.
Under current election law,
the Progressive Movement will
have a tough time in overturning the July 1 presidential election. Many people consider
Peña Nieto’s victory and eventual inauguration a done deal,
and media pressure is growing
for Lopez Obrador to bow to
the winds of history.
Columnist Jesus SilvaHerzog Marquez wrote that
the left should count its blessings and construct a responsible
political opposition to help push
for “the second generation of
democratic reforms in the
country.”
A quick glance at the reshuffled political map after the
July 1 municipal, state and federal elections shows no party
with an absolute majority in
Congress, the PRI with a score
of governorships and the left
with not only its bastion of
Mexico City but now the states
of Morelos and Tabasco as
well. The big loser was President Calderon’s PAN party,
which suffered a political debacle of historic proportions.
Sparked by the 132 Movement protests, the new citizen
movement is the wild card in
the emerging political scene.
Whether the mass movement
can maintain its momentum
and translate spontaneous
street protests organized by the
social networks into a coherent, lasting force is the transcendental question at the
moment. Proposals floating
around the movement range
the gamut from a boycotts of
Soriana and Televisa advertisers to public intervention in the
federal contracting process for
two new television channels.

&
JULY 24, 2012
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING –
RELEASE OF AMORTIZATON PRIORITY RANKING
National City is committed to supporting its business community and improving its neighborhoods. The City Council is giving notice of two meetings on the amortization of nonconforming land uses and invites residents, property owners, and businesses to attend. The first will be held during the City Council
meeting of July 17, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. and will cover the background and history of the amortization ordinance. The second
will be held during a Special City Council meeting on July 24,
2012 at 6:00 p.m. and will include the release of the amortization
priority ranking. Both meetings will be held in the City Council
Chambers at City Hall, 1243 National City Boulevard. Translation services will be provided. The amortization priority ranking
will be available to the public in the agenda packet for the July
24 Special City Council meeting.
The Land Use Code establishes various zones throughout the
City in which allowable land uses are specified. Uses of property that were once, but no longer, allowed in a zone are referred
to as “nonconforming” uses. A use of property may become
nonconforming if the use was originally allowed in the zone in
which the property is located, but is no longer allowed because
of a change in the zoning of the property. Generally, a nonconforming use may continue in existence indefinitely, unless the
use is abandoned, the structure in which the use is located is
destroyed, or the use is discontinued.
“Amortization” is a process established by ordinance in 2006 by
which a legal nonconforming use must be discontinued after a
period of time sufficient to allow the business/owner to recover
their investment. The amortization process provides for the input of the person whose use is being affected, including the
right to make a presentation at a public hearing. In National City,
amortization does not apply to residential uses. Amortization
should not be confused with eminent domain; there is no transfer of property, and it does not allow for the City or any other
entity to acquire property for any purpose. Although the amortization ordinance was adopted in 2006, the amortization process has not been used on any property in the City to date.

This summer off to a great start
T
his past week was a glorious
one as the 4th of July celebra
tion fell in the middle of the
week. There is nothing like a
few extra days off during a hot summer.
Many of us enjoyed the baseball All-Star
game, a weekend barbecue, previews of
the start of a nice football season right
around the corner, and best of all the wonderful summer days which provide us
with the opportunity to just relax.
This summer is a little nicer in that Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care
Act. This decision went a long way in saying in what kind of Nation we are, a Nation that takes care of the less fortunate.
How is it that the richest nation in the
world is unable to take care of the health
needs of its poorest people? We are a
nation that uses billions to bail out mega
corporations, banks, and the auto industry but fails to ensure the basic needs of
its people, the ability for individuals to
see a doctor about their health needs?
What the Affordable Care Act provides
is an opportunity for those who were
shut out from health care coverage to
attain health insurance at a reasonable
rate. For the Hispanic community, a community that boasts the largest population
of uninsured, this is welcome news. It is
an opportunity for folks to achieve a basic need for a healthy life in the modern
era - health insurance coverage - that is,
as long as your state takes advantage of
the Medicaid expansion established under the Affordable Care Act.
Also this summer, the Supreme Court
struck a majority of Arizona’s offensive
SB 1070. We have recently published
commentaries that saw their ruling as a
failure by allowing the most offensive
piece of the legislation to stay intact (the
provision which allowed the police to
stop persons and request documentation,
aka the “Show me your papers” provision). While we agree that the “show me
your papers” provision is a failure on its
face, it is not a failure that SB 1070 was
gutted as a standing state law.
That was a positive step in the right direction. And while the Supreme Court did
not strike down the “show me your papers” provision, the court did leave the
door open to challenge the provision on
civil rights grounds. They stated that constitutional concerns may arise once provision is actually enacted, which opens
the door for more litigation against the
law. “This opinion does not foreclose
other preemption and constitutional
challenges to the law as interpreted and
applied after it goes into effect,” Justice
Kennedy wrote.
Lastly, in June, President Obama finally made a positive move in regards to
immigration by allowing some immigrant
children and young adults the opportunity to live their dream by deferring immigration action, allowing these young
people the opportunity to attend and
complete their education in the United
States. Yet again, another small step, but
a step in the right direction.
Taking all these recent developments
as a whole, there have been positive
steps taken for the Hispanic community
which begin to address some of the basic needs of our community. But these
steps are only a few of the many that
need to be taken. For example in Arizona,
despite the fact that while the majority
of SB 1070 was struck down with the
“show me your papers” provision still
intact, the Hispanic community has
come together, bolstered by the partial
victory, to continue the fight until the
racial profiling ruling is overturned.
All small steps of progress for the Hispanic community, who should be enjoying all the fruits that the July 4th celebration represents for our community.
So far a great summer!

Great to see your Page-One coverage of Rita

Female artists” on June 29, 2012. I agree with
you “her article is a needed reminder of the
significant role of Chicano Park women.” To
update her excellent historical overview I want
to make some corrections and additions.
I spoke with Celia Herrera Rodriquez who
painted the mural illustrating Sanchez’ article.
She is currently working in Chicano Park to
restore it. She told me that the mural’s correct
and only title is Women Hold Up Half of the
Sky. She also corrected the spelling of the
names of the original artists to read Celia
Herrera Rodriguez, Irma Lerma Barbosa,
Antonia Perez, Rosalina Montez Palacios, and
Barbara Desmangles. The source of these errors is the Chicano Park Mural Restoration
Technical Manual, an otherwise excellent resource.
Rita Sanchez “proudly recognizes the women
who have contributed to the Parque and its
murals.” One she identifies is Laura Rodriguez,
now deceased, who Sanchez writes has had
“her image … painted in the park as a monument to her.” Carmen Kalo, Mario Torero and
a youth group painted that mural monument in
1995. Kalo, who went on to paint a memorial
“dedicated to the people that died during Operation Gatekeeper” in 2000, also deserves recognition for her mural work.
Yasue Sano received the City of San Diego
Historical Resources Board’s 2012 Excellence

Gov. Jerry Brown Should Sign the TRUST
Act and Be “Anti-Arizona” on Immigration
By Frank Sharry
AMERICA’S VOICE EDUCATION FUND
Years ago, California tried to take the punitive and xenophobic approach to immigration
with Prop 187 — a 1994 ballot initiative whose
stated goal was to keep undocumented immigrants from receiving public benefits, but would
have essentially turned California into a police
state for immigrants. Fortunately, Proposition
187 was invalidated by the courts. But instead
of learning from California, states like Arizona,
Alabama, and a handful of others are repeating the same mistakes and passing similar laws
designed to turn anyone who looks or sounds
“like an immigrant” into a suspect and make
them feel unwelcome in their own homes.
But last week, the California State Senate
showed just how far the state has come—by
passing Assemblyman Tom Ammiano’s (D-San
Francisco) TRUST Act, the antithesis of
Arizona’s anti-immigrant SB 1070 law.
Arizona’s law attacks immigrants by making
local cops turn them over to the federal government for deportation—destroying the trust
between immigrants and local police. Unfortunately, the Obama Administration is also pushing for local-federal cooperation on immigration through its so-called “Secure Communities” program, which turns routine police work
into an immigration status check, and has led
to record deportations of immigrants who have
never committed a crime. Under “Secure Communities,” undocumented persons are often
detained for very minor violations, such as driving without a license, and end up on the path to
deportation. In California alone, more than
75,000 immigrants have been deported since
Secure Communities began there in 2009, and
more than half of those immigrants were either convicted of no crime or convicted only of
minor offenses.
The TRUST Act, which has the support of
over 100 immigrant rights groups, police chiefs,
and mayors, seeks to restore the public trust
police need for community safety. The TRUST
Act would address some of the problems with
Secure Communities by telling police to only
send immigrants who have serious convictions
to ICE for deportation. It would allow
hardworking immigrant mothers and fathers to
go to work and live their lives with less fear of
harassment and deportation, and would mend
the rift between immigrant communities and
the police that is vital to the success of community policing. This makes the TRUST Act
essentially the opposite of Arizona’s SB 1070:
while SB 1070 treats every immigrant as a priority for deportation, the TRUST Act lifts up
legitimate threats and zeroes in on true publicsafety priorities.
The bill has moved on from the California
Senate to the Assembly, which is highly likely
to pass it. Next, it will move to Governor Jerry
Brown’s desk, and Latino and community leaders are expecting the Governor to sign it and
show the rest of the country what smart and
fair immigration policy looks like.
The TRUST Act is simply a common-sense
policy—in a world of limited resources and
police power, law enforcement should target
dangerous criminals for deportation, not
hardworking mothers and college students. And
when criminals at large threaten all of us, those
with information must be encouraged to come
forward—not scared away from doing so.
Opponents of the bill are simply relying on their
tired talking point that anything short of deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants is “amnesty.” They’ve got nothing else to offer.
We hope that Governor Brown is ready to
lead California full-circle, rejecting its Proposition 187 past and sending a message to states
like Arizona and Alabama that mass deportation is not the answer. Immigration reform that
includes a path to citizenship for undocumented
immigrants is.
Frank Sharry is Founder and Executive Director of
America’s Voice. With the support of allies in the immigration reform community, he created the new organization in early 2008 to focus on communications and
media as part of a renewed effort to win comprehensive
immigration reform. Reprinted from the California Progressive Report (http://www.californiaprogressreport.

Sobre la nacionalidad
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.
subrayó: “Soy mexicano-americano”. Y el otro,
de ascendencia africana dijo: “Yo soy africanoamericano”.
Seguidamente el Dr. Buckley expuso una
situación hipotética para esclarecer el tema.
“Si los dos van a estudiar a un país de Europa y
su profesor les hace la misma pregunta, ¿qué
es lo que ustedes responderían?”, recalcó.
Después de unos momentos de dubitación,
el que decía que era mexicano-americano
respondió que, “en esas circunstancias, yo creo
que diría que soy americano”. El que decía
que era africano-americano también llegó a
similar conclusión.
Según el Dr. Buckley, la nacionalidad está
relacionada al vínculo interno de una persona
con el país en donde nació, se desarrolló y se
realizó como individuo y ciudadano. Dicha
relación está unificada, empero en forma
relativa, por las costumbres, cultura, idioma,
sistema político y en algunos casos la religión.
En este sentido, las críticas de Sonnen a Silva
en torno a su nacionalidad fueron como un dardo
que se incrustó en su corazón. Los sentimientos
de nacionalidad, de acuerdo al experimento de
mi profesor, se incrementan cuando el individuo
se aleja de su país de origen.
Al igual que Anderson Silva, muchos
inmigrantes latinos, a pesar de vivir años en
Estados Unidos y adquirir nacionalidad jurídica
norteamericana todavía prefieren presentarse
como nacionales de su país de origen.
La nacionalidad, en definitiva, es una identidad
nata de la modernidad que difícilmente se
transforma.
El sábado 7 de los corrientes se llevó a cabo
una pelea de Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC) entre el actual campeón Anderson Silva
y su contrincante Chael Sonnen.
Uno de los momentos importantes —que por
cierto fue polemizado por los comentaristas y
gente interesada en esta pelea— fue los
comentarios vertidos por Sonnen en torno a la
nacionalidad de Silva.
“Anderson pretende que es de Brasil y,
algunas veces, pretende también que no habla
su propio idioma. Lo que quiero destacar es
que [Anderson Silva] es un brasileño falso.
Los comentarios candentes de Sonnen
enfurecieron a Anderson Silva, a la comunidad
brasileña en Estados Unidos y la gente que vive
en la tierra de Pelé.
Por otra parte y más allá de lo deportivo, la
crítica de Sonnen a Anderson está relacionado
con uno de los temas más importantes de las
Ciencias Políticas: la nacionalidad.
La nacionalidad, a primera vista, parece un
concepto muy fácil de entender, pero cuando
uno se pone a analizarla, resulta complicada
debido a los diversos procesos y cuestiones
históricas que se entremezclan en el momento
de discernirla.
Durante mis estudios de licenciatura, mi
profesor de ciencias políticas, Dr. John Buckley,
decía: “No hubo nacionalidad —en la forma
cómo la conocemos hoy— antes de la
construcción del Estado-Nación [país]”.
Para hacer entender su explicación, Dr.
Buckley procedió en preguntar a dos de mis
compañeros de clase con relación a su Humberto Caspa, Ph.D., es profesor e
investigador de “Ecomonics On The Move.”

The Death of a Team, Return to Indoctrination
By Rodolfo F. Acuña
Society pays more attention to its sports
teams than to its children. Today in L.A. the
world shattering concern is whether to keep
the Lakers’ roster intact or break it up and get
new players. A great deal of thought is put into
salary caps, locker room and court chemistry
that it takes to put a winning team together.
There is also talk as to whether the U.S.
Olympic team will have enough time to mold
itself into a team. Teams are difficult to assemble and even more difficult to maintain.
Egos, personalities, leadership and money all
determine success.
I was fortunate that I came up through the
ranks as a teacher. I started in the Los Angeles
City Schools as a janitor or custodian as we
preferred to be called. In order to get my credential I had to teach two years at a Yeshiva
where I taught grades K-12 (all in one classroom) – I was the only goy, non-Jewish teacher.
Once I got my credential I taught at a public
junior high school for three years and then at a
high school for five years. It was a great experience, it taught me how to teach.
In education classes we talked a lot about
team teaching but in the schools very little of
that went on. The only time that the teachers
got together was in the smoking rooms where
they complained about the students, rarely sharing their experiences or their teaching methods. They went to in-service classes but that
was only to get service points that counted toward salary increments.
Through experience I found that a team at
any level whether it be in sports, the schools or
life itself is rare. So it seems stupid to break
one up when successful especially in education where so many young lives are affected.
But this is exactly what is happening in the
Tucson Unified School District where under
the cover of night Superintendent of Schools
John Pedicone and his gaggle of board members are dismantling a highly successful team
in order to feed the mendacity, the whims and
racist notions of state and local elected officials.
It is a team that has defied the rule in the
education that Mexican American students cannot learn. More often than not they drop out of
school at a rate of over fifty percent. In contrast, the TUSD Mexican American Studies
students want to learn; they don’t want to be
warehoused and parrot material so they can
pass a test.
For mainstream teachers, rote memorization
is a matter of survival. They must adhere to
the reality of the wrongheaded standard that
how the students perform on a test is the measure of the teachers’ effectiveness. How well
the students do, determines whether they are
doing a good or bad job and whether they keep
their job.
This leads to an institutional racism where
teachers and teacher unions excuse their
Immigrants Are the Lifeblood of U.S. Startups
By Yuri Vanetik
In a rare moment of genuinely bipartisan lawmaking, the president recently signed the JOBS
Act into law. Short for “Jumpstart Our Business Startups,” JOBS will roll back some of
the regulatory barriers that small and mid-sized
entrepreneurial ventures face in their efforts
to grow and go public.
This is a great victory for the American startup community. Now, policymakers need to turn
their attention to the hurdles in the way of talent acquisition.
No talent channel is more bogged down with
needless and costly rules than the visa system
for highly skilled immigrants. Every year, thousands of foreign citizens with advanced degrees
in science and engineering apply to become
permanent residents in the United States. They
want to work and contribute and have valuable
ideas for new businesses.
Despite these undeniable facts, many educated and motivated foreigners are turned away
or granted only temporary permission to live
and work here. This bureaucratic quagmire is
robbing American start-ups of talent, which is
severely undercutting economic growth.
A December study from the National Foundation for American Policy found that almost
half of the top 50 venture-funded firms in
America were founded or co-founded by an
immigrant. Out of these firms, 37 had at least
one immigrant in a high-level management position.
Silicon Valley is filled with hot startups
founded by foreigners.
The textbook-rental service Chegg was created by Indian Aayush Phumbhra and Briton
Osman Rashid. Etsy — the incredibly successful online craft marketplace — is the brainchild of Swiss entrepreneur Haim Schoppik.
The giant web publisher Glam Media was
founded by Indians Samir Arora and Raj
Narayan.
The idea that these immigrants are “stealing” jobs from Americans is pure nonsense.
The opposite is true. That same study found
that top 50 immigrant-started companies created an average of 150 new jobs per company.
Likewise, researchers from the American
Enterprise Institute found that between 2000
and 2007, for every additional 100 foreign workers coming into this country with an advanced
“STEM” degree — science, technology, engineering, or math — an average of 262 new
jobs were created for native-born U.S. citizens.
It’s no surprise that talented immigrants play
such a vital role in the creation and expansion
of American companies and the culture of
entrepreneurialism that battens start-ups. They
have a fresh perspective. They’re well posi-

tioned to find new ways to solve economic problems and create value.
But America is choking off the spigot of immigrant talent. The channel for them to enter
this country legally is over-regulated, overly expensive, unpredictable, and deeply time-consuming.
H-1B visas, the type designated for highly
skilled workers, expire after just three years.
They’re only renewable once. The total number of H-1Bs allowed every year is capped at
66,000 (with very limited exemptions for foreigners who received a degree from an American graduate program). Moreover, the H-1B
fee was recently raised by over 600 percent
— from $320 to $2,000.
Visa restrictions are leading to reverse brain
drain. Smart, ambitions foreigners come and
study at America’s world-class institutions of
higher education. After they graduate, they’re
eager to work in this country, but they can’t
get a permanent residence or a worker visa.
Eventually, they give up and go elsewhere, taking their talents, training, ideas, and education
with them.
Cristobal Conde is a Chile-born entrepreneur
and former CEO of SunGard, a Fortune 500
software company. He’s said, “If I were to try
to come to America today, the likelihood is I
would be turned away.”
We need visa reform for highly skilled workers — and fast. Republican Representative Jeff
Flake just reintroduced the STAPLE Act, (H.R.
399), which would exempt foreign students with
an American Ph.D. degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics and a job
offer in the United States from visa quotas.
Passing this legislation is smart policy.
Policymakers should also strengthen and expand the H-1B program; create a special
“Startup Visa” for immigrants looking to create new companies in the United States, and
increase the number of green cards for workers with advanced degrees.
Policymakers should also extend the EB-5
Visa program (currently set to expire in September) which provides green cards to foreign
nationals who invest significant money in the
United States. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) has taken
the lead on this important bipartisan initiative.
The JOBS Act will boost the American startup sector. However, it’s just the first step. Now,
lawmakers need to fix the country’s talent retention problem. That process starts by reforming the immigration system for highly skilled
foreigners.
performance with pretexts such as that the
students are mostly minority and from poor
communities – the terms “educationally and
culturally” disadvantaged” have crept back into
our vernacular. They say that it is not their fault;
it is the students’ fault for being poor and Latino.
This is lamentable since what is wrong is the
system itself and teachers should be fighting
system not the students.
Before I get too far into the discussion I want
to clarify what team teaching is. To begin with,
there are very few Mr. or Miss Chips in education. Indeed, the popular teachers are often
the worse teachers.
Team teaching is a strategy where teachers
improve each other’s performance by sharing
teaching experiences and strategies. Team
members share a common purpose and feed
off each other’s’ energy. The team works as
a support network.
The team functions more like a kinship than
a nuclear family. In Mesoamerica kinship units
offered support especially for women in a
household. (The Spaniards controlled the Indians and women forcing the nuclear family on
them).
Team teaching strategies are more often used
in middle schools. Ideally the team members
regularly critique each other and the program.
Teachers also motivate each other to make
changes.
A strong, productive team recognizes its
strengths and weaknesses. Members work together to create curriculum that helps them
achieve common goals, a characteristic of all
teams.
They develop a spirit of team teaching, which
benefits students’ academic and social growth
and performance. The end is guiding, not directing students, so they can make their own
choices. The bottom line is that teaching should
be horizontal not vertical.
In Tucson through trial and error a multi-racial team was assembled whose members have
established close relationships. Much of this
solidarity is forged by combat which has
strengthened the bond among team members.
Sean Arce has emerged as a leader because
he has fought for the program, and put it all on
the line despite vicious attacks and his brutal
dismissal. Other members of the team have
also sacrificed and fought for its survival.
Titles do not determine leadership. This is the
old model which is vertical.
In my fifty years plus of years of teaching, I
have known very few great leaders who successfully built teams. The one that stands out
is my first junior high vice-principal, Hugh
Hodgens who I owe my career to. Hodgens
was a Republican, worse at that time, a Methodist.
Hodgens was a leader in a school that was
mostly Mexican American and black and literally divided racially by the railroad tracks and a
wash. At first most of the teachers including
myself dismissed him as a light weight because
he had been a shop teacher. But he set out to
change the culture of the junior high that was
divided by racial divisions and class divisions.
Hugh made me a believer. He told me, “Students have to want to come to school. They
have to like you before they want to learn.”
It wasn’t perfect; we had some weak links.
You could not always be certain that the students you received in 8th grade had learned
sufficient skills in 7th grade. But we had fewer
fights on campus, from five a day to one a semester. Students smiled.
In Tucson the founders of the program did a
great job of putting together a Course of Study.
A team emerged from their shared faith in the
curriculum.
Teaching goes beyond the pay check; it is
not about being a profession, it must be a vocation.
The MAS program has been successful because teachers have faith in and trust the students and each other. What they are teaching
is important to what the students are learning.
They don’t see students as robots but as human beings.
I don’t believe that most people, even in Tucson realize the stakes in this fight to preserve
MAS as well as the team. It goes beyond their
constitutional rights. It is the loss of community. It is the death of a team.
I remember when I knew every name on the
Ram’s roster. I remember when my doctor
knew my name and took time to know me.
The decision to break up this team is much
more important than whether the Lakers keep
Pau Gasol or Kobe Bryant returns. It is about
the kids; it about the future. But even more
important it is about education. How to teach
and what we teach are important.
It troubles me that education is more and
more being controlled by non-educators who
want to privatize it and reduce it to a business
formula, mass produce students whose success
is measured by computerized tests.

be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available
for examination in the file kept

The petition requests authority
to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not
grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will
be held in this court as follows: Date: AUG 07, 2012. Time:
11:00A.M. Dept: PC-1
Address of court: SUPERIOR
COURT OF CALIFORNIA,
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, 1409
Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA
92101. Madge Bradley
If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear
at the hearing and state your
objections or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may
be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided
in Probate Code section 9100.
The time for filling claims will not
expire before four months from
the hearing date notice above.
You may examine the file kept
by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154)
of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section
1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.

Flash Host Community Clinic for Underprivileged Kids in Sherman Heights Area
Young men from Sherman Heightsts futbol program and clinic, with Ladule Lako LoSarah (center back) The
Mission of the San Diego Flash Soccer Organization is to be an inspiration to Youth Soccer Players in San
Diego. Head Coach is Warren Barton, former English National Team and Newcastle United star.
The San Diego Flash have
been scoring plenty of goals on
the field this season in their successful defense of its National
Premier League Soccer
(NPSL) West-Southern Conference title, but it’s been the
goals they have been scoring
off the field that has brought
just as much satisfaction.
As part of the clubs strong
focus on community outreach
and its soccer for social change
principles, the Flash hosted a
free community clinic in
Sherman Heights in collaboration with the local community
center.
The center holds an after
school athletic program three
days per week with the goal to
keep kids in the local neighborhood active, productive and off
the streets. This program has
seen the creation (and sponsorship) of the Xoloitzcuintles
Unidos, an under 15 side that
competes in South County recreational leagues.
Flash player Ladule Lako
LoSarah, turned from goal
scorer to mentor for the session and then presented each
player with a season pass so
they could come and watch the
pro’s in action.
“It was truly a pleasure to
work with the young soccer
players at the Sherman
Heights Community Center. I
focused on exposing them to
some of the skills and the mentality it takes to succeed at
higher levels of the game
“At the same time it’s a
deeply humbling experience;
what the kids lack in resources,
they more than make up for
with passion, enthusiasm, and
good spirits. We are the ones
who can learn so much from
them—it really puts things in
perspective and brings up the
broader question as to why
these kids are underprivileged
in the first place.” LoSarah
said.
Coach of the Unidos Com-
munity Futbol Cooperative,
Guillermo Mendez, was thrilled
for his young charges being
given the opportunity to learn
directly from representatives of
the SD Flash and the additional
benefits of having positive role
models interact with them on
their own turf.
“We sincerely thank both
Ladule and the Flash for taking the time to come and visit
the kids. The power of these
clinics can never be underestimated as it highlights the importance of positive reinforcement and the pathways and
opportunities available to them
in life. These life lessons are
extremely beneficial to their
ongoing development for a
number of reasons. Besides
learning to win & lose with
honor, the kids assimilate the
value of respect, commitment,
dedication, collaboration, & responsibility.
“The Centers youth leadership program also identifies the
skills learned in sports & applies them to academics & civic
culture. Players are required to
keep their grades up & are
encouraged to study in the
Center’s after school tutoring
program to help them do that”
Mendez said.
The center provides these
services for free but relies on
the support of the broader to
community to help keep it running. They are in urgent need
of equipment, uniforms and
funds for registration and referee costs. The San Diego
Flash are encouraging residents and businesses of the city
to get in contact with the
Sherman Heights Community
Center to see how you can help
motivate and prepare these
young people so they can keep
moving forward in a positive
manner. For more information
please contact Ben Rivera on
