Has Most to Win—or Lose By Reshma Shamasunder NEW AMERICA MEDIA As the state with the country’s largest immigrant population, California has the most to gain—or the most to lose—in the immigration debate. That’s why over 100 organizations based in the Golden State unveiled a bold statement of values and policy recommendations this week, including organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union of California, the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration and the California Dream Team Alliance. The statement urges Congress to pass immigration reform that protects the principle of family unity for all, including families with diverse sexual orientations; creates a road to citizenship for 11 million aspiring citizens that is free of obstructions; ends unjust detentions and deportations; protects worker rights; and ensures a humane and efficient border. California’s experience with immigration is especially pertinent now. The state used to be a lot like Arizona. But ugly policies that today are called “self-deportation” inspired a backlash from immigrant communities that forever changed the political equation in this state. Since then, we’ve seen the positive impact of polices honoring the values of equality, family and hard work. Just ask the student in San Jose, who, for the first time this year, applied for state financial aid to further her dreams. Or the cook in San Bernardino, still working hard after a state law busted a discriminatory local plan that would have forced restaurants to fire immigrant workers last year. Broken Federal Policies More than any other state, California has seen the immense suffering that broken federal policies cause. Just ask the families of people like Anastasio Rojas, brutally tased to death by border patrol agents. Or the tens of thousands of people deported last year after arrests as minor as selling ice cream without a permit. (Here, California is also at fault.) The point is, the fine print matters. Just one paragraph buried among thousands of pages of legislation can transform the lives of all of California’s 2.7 million aspiring citizens and their families. That’s why Congress must make sure reform sticks to this nation’s founding principle—that all people are created equal. Of course, the pathway to citizenship that’s gaining acceptance on both sides of the political aisle must be for all 11 million undocumented Ameri(see Immigration, page 2) MARCH 29, 2013 La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications San Diego native, Dominican pride By Pablo J. Sáinz Growing up in San Diego, most of the time Felix Sanchez was the only person of Dominican origin in the room. Even more, people would assume he wasn’t even Latino, because of his black skin. “I would speak Spanish, and people would be like, ‘You speak Spanish? You don’t look Latino, you’re Black,’” said Sanchez, from his home in Los Angeles. “I’ll be like, ‘Of course I speak Spanish, I’m Dominican!’ ‘You’re what? Is that like Puerto Rican or something.’” The only place where he could truly appreciate his Dominican roots was at home. That is why, when he was ready to compete in track and field, he decided to represent his parents’ country of origin, Dominican Republic, even though he was born in New York and raised in San Diego. “It was my way of filling that longing for all things Dominican,” Sanchez said. Through that decision he not only found his way back to his roots, but in 2004 Sanchez gave the Caribbean nation its first Olympic medal, after he won the 400 meters hurdles gold medal in Athens. He instantly became a national hero in the Dominican Republic, and Felix Sanchez won the Laureus Comeback Athlete of the year award this month in Brazil. an inspiration for a new generation of youth, whose only option before in sports was either baseball or basketball. “I would’ve made more money competing for the United States, but the feeling of making a difference, of being a role model for so many kids, can’t even compared, it is something money can’t buy,” said Sanchez, who lived in Chula Vista, and attended University City High School, and San Diego Mesa College, before moving to the University of Southern California. Sanchez said that he often visits San Diego. One of his best friends is former Charger and fellow Dominican Luis Castillo, with whom he’s spending Easter in San Diego. Two weeks before his 35th birthday, Sanchez amazingly won the 400 metres hurdles gold medal in London, repeating his achievement in Athens in 2004. Because of this great achievement, he won the Laureus Comeback Athlete of the year award this month in Brazil. “For one of the most exhausting events on the track, Sanchez’s performance at his age was truly remark (see Dominican, page 8) CHICANO PARK HONOR! Mayor Bob Filner led the rally cry of pride over Chicano Park on Friday, March 15, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mayor told members of the Barrio Logan community this honor is a long time coming and only confirms what San Diegans have always known. “This is truly an historic park, a place where people have come together, a place where people have taken a stand to do the right thing and a place where art has blossomed and is now recognized nationally. It is places like these, that we should be promoting as part of tourist attractions to bring people to visit San Diego. I am proud of this park!” said Mayor Filner. The Mayor also thanked everyone one involved in preserving the park, including Josie Talamantez, for her efforts in maneuvering through the rigorous process of getting the park on the National Register, Tommie Camarillo, Chairperson of the Chicano Park Steering Committee and countless volunteers who helped ensure the park remains a valuable resource and treasured gathering place for the community. Mayor Filner also thanked the many artists who contributed to the beauty of the park through their paintings, including Salvador Torres, Victor Ochoa and Mario “Torero” Acevedo, and members of the “Royal Chicano Air Force. The Mayor was also presented with a special work The Mayor Bob Filner was presented with a special work of art by Mario Torero at the event, titled “Laura” based on the image of Laura Rodriguez, who is considered the Mother of Chicano Park. of art by Mario Torero at the event, perseverance of a community San Councilmember David Alvarez, state titled “Laura” based on the image of Diego is proud of.

Sáinz MARCH 29, 2013 Border Workers Rally FRONTERA NORTESUR Creciendo en San Diego, casi todo el tiempo Felix Sanchez era la única persona de origen dominicano en cualquier lugar. Aún más, la gente asumía que ni siquiera era latino, por su piel negra. “Yo hablaba en español y la gente decía, ‘¿Hablas español? No pareces latino, eres negro,’”, dice Sanchez, desde su casa en Los Angeles. “Yo les decía, ‘Por supuesto que hablo español, ¡soy dominicano!’ ‘¿Eres qué? ¿Eso es como puertorriqueño o algo así?’” El único lugar donde en verdad podía apreciar sus raíces dominicanas era en su hogar. Es por eso que, cuando estaba listo para competir en atletismo, decidió representar al país de origen de sus padres, la Republica Dominicana, aunque él nació en Nueva York y creció en San Diego. “Era mi manera de llenar ese deseo de las cosas dominicanas”, dijo Sanchez. Por esa decisión no solo encontró su camino de regreso a sus raíces, pero en el 2004 Sanchez le dio a la isla caribeña su primera medalla olímpica, después de ganar la medalla de oro en la carrera de obstáculos de 400 metros en Atenas. De manera instantánea se convirtió en un héroe nacional en la Republica Dominicana y en una inspiración para una nueva generación de jóvenes cuya única opción deportiva en el pasado era el beisbol o el basquetbol. “Hubiera ganado más dinero compitiendo para los Estados Unidos, pero el sentimiento de hacer la diferencia, de ser un modelo a seguir para tantos niños, no se puede comparar, es algo que el dinero no puede comprar”, dijo Sanchez, quien vivió en Chula Vista y asistió a la University City High School y San Diego Mesa College, antes de mudarse a la University of Southern California. Sanchez dijo que visita seguido San Diego. Uno de sus mejores amigos es el exCharger y paisano dominicano Luis Castillo, con quien pasará el Domingo de Pascua en San Diego. Dos semanas antes de cumplir los 35 años, Sanchez sorpresivamente ganó la medalla de oro en la carrera de obstáculos de 400 metros en Londres, repitiendo su logro de Atenas 2004. Debido a este gran logro, ganó el premio Laureus por Atleta del Año que regresó al estrellato este mes en Brasil. “El atletismo es un deporte donde triunfas joven y te jubilas o de plano tienes una carrera muy corta”, dijo. “Cuando empecé solo quería ganar una medalla, no importaba de que color fuera. Ganar dos medallas de oro es más que un sueño, es muy especial”. Workers in the sister cities of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso staged demonstrations this past week on both sides of the Rio Grande. While the specific issues drawing protestors into the streets differed from country to country, the actions had one thing in common: both were directed against controversial national policies pursued by elected leaders and approved by the respective federal legislatures. In Ciudad Juarez hundreds of public school teachers walked off the job March 20, embarking on a protest caravan to local federal court offices in opposition to the national education reform law passed by Congress and already ratified by a majority of Mexican state legislatures. Led by the Resssite movement, the teachers contended that the new law will erode their job rights and encourage privatization. “Education is a right, not a commodity” and “No to the privatization of public education” were two of the messages on banners carried by the striking teachers. Rosa Dora Venegas, director of the Melchor Ocampo School and Resssiste spokesperson, said the one-day work stoppage, the first in the region, impacted 100 schools. According to Venegas, Resssite members are filing individual legal challenges to the law as well as contemplating future work stoppages. “We are demanding the protection of federal (legal) power from a law that proposes to wipe out the rights of teachers and puts free education at risk,” Venegas said. “The teacher struggling is also teaching,” she added, repeating a popular protest slogan. “Teachers want education to be for everyone.” Chihuahua State Education Secretary Jorge Mario Quintana Silveyra confirmed that the teachers who participated in the work stoppage would be docked a day’s pay. “We respect their right to demonstrate a lot, but let them do it during hours that don’t affect the students,” Quintana said. The Ciudad Juarez protest was part of a groundswell of opposition to the education law, regarded as a pillar of new Por: Paco Zavala En el Pasillo de fotografía del Instituto de Cultura de Baja California el pasado jueves 21 de marzo fue inaugurada la Exposición Fotográfica “Niños de Guatemala”, con tomas fotográficas de la lente de Jim Platel, artista estadounidense radicado en Tijuana. La exposición consta de 17 fotografías en blanco y negro tomadas entre 1983 y 1989, las cuales reflejan sentimientos genuinos de dicho país, los niños son fotografiados sin ningún artificio de maquillajes o en poses sofisticadas, las fotografías fueron tomadas al natural, los niños caminando en grupo, en unión de sus padres, trabajando o en otras circunstancias. El artista Jim Platel, explica que las fotografías de esta exposición reflejan la libertad, el amor o las ilusiones, contrastadas con la tristeza, el hambre, la desesperanza o el trabajo infantil que muchos de ellos realizan obligados por las Immigration debate circunstancias muy particulares que se viven en eses país. Comenta además que: “A veces tomé una foto de niños porque estaban chulas sus caras, demostrando la carga de tristeza que lleva una pequeña que trabaja duro para ayudar a su familia a subsistir. A algunos niños que he conocido a lo largo de cinco años, les he ayudado comprándoles sus útiles escolares, esperando que se queden en la escuela y continúen con sus estudios y no se salgan a trabajar. Sabemos que los años 80 del siglo pasado, Guatemala vivió años muy difíciles y tristes provocados por los enfrenamientos en la guerra civil que la devastó, trayendo consigo hambre y desolación, además del movimiento de leva que se dio en muchos casos, sumados a esto infinidad de casos de niños que se perdieron en las espesas selvas al seguir a algún grupo guerrillero. Esta estrujante y patética colección de fotografías estará en exposición durante el pró- ximo mes de abril y la entrada es gratuita. En otra nota el Instituto de Cultura de Baja California, encabezó los festejos organizados para celebrar el centenario del Ejército Mexicano con la inclusión de una Exposición fotográfica y la proyección de un documental, en el Palacio de Gobierno del Estado en Tijuana, eventos en los que se dieron a conocer los orí-genes y el desarrollo de la institución a través de estos primeros cien años de existe-ncia.

Keep Border Agencies Accountable Finally, to prevent tragedies, such as the fatal tasing of Anastasio Rojas, the U.S. needs to keep border agencies accountable and uphold basic civil and human rights protections. Ultimately, border communities should be gateways for trade and relationships. If we’re going to invest more at the border, let’s improve the infrastructure at the ports-ofentry so people and goods can swiftly move through. We hope that future gen- Publisher/Editor: House that slices $85 billion from the federal budget. With heavy participation from civilian employees of the William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC), the protest took aim at the 22 days of mandatory, non-paid furloughs that are supposed to be taken by workers before September. “Sequestration, no good for the nation” and “Furlough Congress” read t-shirts and signs displayed by workers at the Alabama Street protest. In addition to less take home pay this year, the workers affected by the furloughs will earn less leave time and watch less money trickle into their retirement accounts. “It doesn’t just impact my paycheck, but local businesses,” said Barbara Wilson, WBAMC administrator. “Also, what about our patients who may have to wait in longer lines or wait to be seen?” Separately, Fort Bliss spokesman Major Joe Buccino said budget cuts expected at El Paso’s big military base will result in longer medical waits and a reduction in service hours at suicide prevention and family advocacy clinics. With 21,000 federal workers in El Paso, the Sun City could be among the most impacted localities in the nation by the sequester agreement. And with budget cuts also hovering over the heads of nearly 3300 civilian workers at White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base in neighboring southern New Mexico, the impact of the political deal could be even bigger on the overall Paso del Norte region economy. El Paso’s Democratic Representatives in the House, Beto O’Rourke and Pete Gallego, have expressed opposition to the sequestration cuts, while Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn and other members of his party have maintained that the negative results predicted by some are exaggerated since the trimmed expenditures only account for about two percent of the federal budget.

Supporters of the reform insist that it will curb corruption in teacher job placement and upgrade the quality of educators. While the March 22 dismissal of classes for the two week Holy Week-Easter vacation break put the protest movement somewhat on hold, the education law conflict is likely to heat up again in April when school resumes. More work stoppages and/ or prolonged strikes, which have already occurred in the state of Guerrero, could follow. Vacationers hoping to get a jump start at the beaches in Acapulco were delayed for hours on March 22 because of a highway blockade mounted by 3,000 striking teachers in the Guerrero state capital of Chilpancingo. Prior to the holiday recess, teacher activists filed 63,000 individual injunctions against the law in the federal courts of Mexico City.

Acuña Prior to 1986 a clear Left voice could be heard on immigration reform. Among its priorities was that there would be no guest worker program, there would be no employer sanctions, there would be a more humane border enforcement policy, and there would be a clear path to citizenship with an absence of penalties and fees. For the most part we lost, and the only real victory was that proposals for a guest worker program died. The truth be told, immigration reform has never been a high priority among American progressives; as a consequence, no clear vision of what immigration reform was developed outside the Mexican American community. This lack of understanding and consensus has led to the probability of compromise — that invariably leads to a negation of meaningful and just reform. The question has become so muddled that not even the socalled Latino leadership knows what it wants. Having been invited and having sat at the Democratic Party table as guests of honor, they don’t want to rock the boat –or like my mother used to say quieren quedar bien con todo mundo. As it is shaping up liberals seem committed to a path to citizenship for the undocumented, but they also seem willing to ignore the abuses of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), and are going along with the increased enforcement of immigration laws — a grotesque and massive immigration apparatus that spent $18 billion on immigration enforcement last year. It is obvious that large chunks of the Latino leadership is willing to forget the extensive and rich literature on the bracero program, and are disposed to place their trust in President Barack Obama. The hard Left – what is left of it — opposes a guest worker program that excludes a clear pathway to citizenship for the bracero. They don’t want to go back to the days where American farmers rented Mexicans at will, and repeat a program that was full of corruption and abuses. As a matter of fact, historically the U.S. has refused to deal with guest workers as “free labor” with the rights enjoyed by other workers. Consequently, the U.S. has engaged in a cut your nose to spite your face policy that has weakened American agriculture, with the nation importing food from China and other countries because it cannot get its crops picked. As conservative columnist Richard M. Estrada testified in in 1995: “One must …insist that the absence of slavery does not imply the presence of freedom. As commonly understood, the term free labor also implies that an individual can sell his or her labor on the open market to whomever will contract for it. It is in this regard that guest worker programs are, by definition, unfree labor arrangements or, at the very least, not totally free labor arrangements…To be specific, the agricultural guest worker is explicitly obligated not to sell his or her labor anywhere else but to the agricultural employer who sponsors entry. Employers tend to prize guest workers for their abilities, true. But they also value them because they have no options and are, therefore, more malleable. (Employers tend to prefer the term ‘disciplined.’)” It is difficult to talk to Democrats about “free labor;” they prefer to concentrate on the globalization, which is important. The United States Department of Immigration used Zyklon B to fumigate and delouse immigrant farm laborers back in the 1920's and 1930's. However, globalization has al- brutality.

Immediately after the November 2012 election Bobby Jindal made a plea for more civility and less stupidity on the immigration issue. Before too long, it was the Gang of 8 in the U.S. Senate which included four prominent Republican Senators who introduced their framework for an immigration bill. Then the RNC released a lengthy report calling for stronger outreach to Latinos, starting by passing an immigration reform bill. And now Tea Party favorite, Senator Rand Paul, has changed his own position and is now in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. Can Republicans really draw more Latino support if they back a path to citizenship? The answer is unequivocally ‘Yes.’ Or if they fail to support immigration reform with a path to citizenship, they could do even worse than Mitt Romney’s all-time low among Latino voters in 2012. Even President Obama acknowledged that the Republican Party can make gains with Latino voters if they support this issue. Republican Scott Rigell from Virginia told the AP: “He said that actually implementing immigration reform would actually benefit Republicans more than it would Democrats.” Looking at the data, Mr. Obama is right. In a recent poll of Latino registered voters on the topic of immigration reform, we asked a couple of different versions of the question “will Republican support for immigration reform make you more likely to vote Republican.” In the past weeks we have released the full set of results, and here we focus just on the possible gains (or losses) Republicans can make, by reporting results just among Latinos who said they had voted for Obama in 2012, or just among Latino Republicans. In a hypothetical election match-up with a Republican candidate who supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, against a Democrat who opposes citizenship and calls it ‘amnesty’ we find that 61% of Obama voters would actually choose the pro-immigration Republican. When asked if they would be more or less likely to vote for a Republican candidate in the future if the Republicans take a leadership role in passing comprehensive immigration reform including a pathway to citizenship, we find that 43% of Obama voters say more likely to vote Republican. When we explain the current bipartisan efforts in the U.S. Senate with four Republicans working alongside four Democrats, and ask if the Republican commitment to the bipartisan plan makes them more or less likely to vote Republican, we find 26% of Obama voters say they are now more inclined to vote GOP. Finally, when we ask Latinos to consider all elections they have voted in for local, state and federal office, and ask if they have ever voted for a Republican candidate we find that 41% of Obama voters say yes, they have voted Republican at some point. While there are clear opportunities for the GOP to make gains among Democraticallyleaning Latinos, there are also pitfalls if they fail to support immigration reform from within their own ranks. When asked how important it is that Congress passes an immigration reform bill in 2013, 64% of Latino Republicans said “very” or “extremely” important. When given the argument that immigration reform should wait until later and Congress should focus only on the economy now, 69% of Latino Republicans disagreed and said Congress should focus on both immigration reform and the economy right now. Finally, when asked which immigration policy they would prefer, 66% of Latino Republicans said they wanted an immigration plan with a clear pathway to citizenship, and only 32% of Republicans said citizenship should wait until after the border is deemed secure. The data are clear that Latino Republicans expect to see movement on an immigration bill, with a path to citizenship in 2013. But if the bill stalls, or House Republicans block the effort or prevent a path to citizenship, can the Republican party actually do worse among Latinos than Mitt Romney did in 2012? Yes. When asked if they approve or disapprove of the job Congressional Republicans are currently doing handling immigration policy, 40% of Latino Romney voters said they disapproved (only 46% approved). When asked if they perceived Republican Party as doing a good job reaching out to Latinos, or if the Party was ignoring Latinos or even being hostile to Latinos, 41% of selfdescribed Republicans said the GOP was “ignoring or being hostile” to Latinos. When asked if they would be more or less likely to vote for Republican candidates, if the GOP blocks immigration reform with a path to citizenship, 33% of Latino Republicans said they would be less likely to support their party. Finally, when asked if they would be more or less likely to vote for Democratic candidates, if the Democratic party takes a leadership role in passing comprehensive immigration reform, 32% of Latino Republicans said they would be more likely to vote Democrat. Reports out of Washington suggest the Gang of 8 may have a compromise bill ready by early April, which will no doubt bring tough questions from both the left and the right. As the debate unfolds in both chambers of Congress, the latest polling data on Latino voters is clear – Republicans have the most to gain – and lose – among Latino voters on the issue of immigration reform. Using our online electoral college vote tool developed with America’s Voice Education Fund, we can project presidential outcomes under different scenarios of the Latino vote going more heavily Republican, or staying heavily Democratic as in 2012. If a Republican presidential candidate can increase their support from Latinos to an average of 42% nationally, six states would flip from Democrat to Republican (NV, CO, NM, FL, IA, VA), and give the Republican 274 total electoral college votes. However, if the Republicans do not make gains among Latinos, and stay at the same low levels that they received in 2012 they will lose three large states that voted Republican in 2012 (AZ, TX, NC), due to growth in the Latino vote. In 2012 Latinos accounted for 10% of all voters nationwide, however all projections point to rapid growth in the Latino vote. If the Latino vote grows to 16% of all voters nationwide and the Republicans do not make gains among Latinos, they will lose Arizona, Texas and North Carolina and the Democratic candidate will capture 396 total electoral college votes. For questions about the results, please contact Matt Barreto (matt. barreto@latino decisions.com). The poll was sponsored by America’s Voice, National Council of La Raza, and SEIU PAGE 4 MARCH 29, 2013 National City local named as new Chief of Police The new National City police chief is Manuel Rodriguez.

Tome precauciones al presentar la declaración de impuestos Por Alberto Hauffen Si no ha presentado su declaración de impuestos, tenga en mente ciertas advertencias de una experta de Extensión Cooperativa de la Universidad de California en torno a fraudes relacionados con ese requisito fiscal: “Tengo que enfatizarlo: Usted debe ir con alguien que tenga buena reputación. Y si va a pagar por esos servicios, no tenga temor de preguntar y comprobar qué ofrecen”, advierte Margaret Johns, asesora en ciencias de la familia y el consumidor en el condado de Bakersfield. “Por ejemplo, ¿le respaldarán en caso de que a usted le hagan una auditoría? ¿Cuánto le cobrarán?” Johns hace eco de las campañas preventivas de las autoridades en torno a los fraudes que se cometen en la temporada de rendir cuentas al fisco. Hay quienes prometen todo tipo de reembolsos y préstamos ligados al dinero que el tributario espera recibir del gobierno al presentar la declaración de impuestos. Cada año, las autoridades reportan fraudes cometidos por personas sin escrúpulos que cobran por preparar esos documentos. Cobran demasiado por ese servicio y prometen reembolsos a los que quizás sus clientes no tengan derecho. Muchos ofrecen préstamos, conocidos como Rapid Anticipation Loan, o RAL, en anticipación al reembolso que el tributario espera recibir del gobierno. La cuota del préstamo podría ser demasiada alta. “Usted podría pagar como $300 con tal de recibir su reembolso dos semanas más temprano. ¿Vale la pena hacerlo?”, pregunta Johns acerca de los préstamos rápidos ligados al reembolso de impuestos. “No vale la pena aceptarlos. Y ellos tratarán de convencerle para que los acepte porque con ello ganan bastante dinero; ganan $300 por cinco minutos de trabajo”. Ella señala otra posibilidad de estar tratando con alguien sin escrúpulos: “Si el preparador se niega a firmar la declaración de impuestos, eso podría ser un mal indicio. Una persona con certificación firmará ese documento”, indicó. Por eso, Johns le aconseja seleccionar bien a quien prepare la declaración de impuestos. “Asegúrese de que la persona que prepare su declaración sea certificada”, indicó la especialista de la UC. “Hay muchas personas que ofrecen esos servicios; pero usted debe asegurarse de que tengan certificación porque podrían causarle problemas con el IRS. Y a nadie le gustaría tener esos problemas”. Para mayor seguridad, ella aconseja consultar con el Servicio de Rentas Internas – IRS, por sus siglas en inglés. En su sitio internet http:// www.irs.gov y a través de la línea telefónica 800-829-1040 ofrece información de los requisitos y consejos para ayudar a los tributarios a cumplir con la declaración de impuestos. Johns aconseja usar los servicios gratuitos de preparadores voluntarios del programa VITA, que se ofrece en bibliotecas y centros comunitarios a personas de bajos ingresos. “Haga una cita y use esos servicios. Porque, nuevamente, hay demasiados fraudes con la declaración de impuestos”, señaló. “Algunos cobran demasiado dinero por preparar el formulario 1040, que es muy sencillo y podría prepararse gratis en tan solo unos cuantos minutos en uno de los centros del servicio de voluntarios VITA, y tener la seguridad de que está bien hecha”. También aconseja preguntar acerca del Crédito por Ingreso del Trabajo, que se otorga como reembolso a personas de bajos ingresos. Este año, ese crédito podría representar un reembolso de hasta $5,891 para una familia con tres o más hijos, si en el 2012 el declarante tuvo ingresos de $45,060 ($50,270, ingresos combinados en declaración de la pareja). Para un declarante con ingresos de $13,980 ($19,190, pareja) sin hijos, el reembolso es de $475. “Si usted es elegible, por favor, reclame ese crédito”, insiste Johns. “Realmente puede ayudarle a pagar sus deudas o a abrir una cuenta de ahorros. O quizás comprar un mejor vehículo o costearse su educación. Hay muchas maneras de usar ese dinero para beneficiar a su familia”. Sobre todo, Johns aconseja tratar de encontrar la mejor manera de usar el reembolso de la declaración de impuestos. “¿Es acaso comprar un televisor de gran tamaño la mejor opción, especialmente ahora que la economía está tan mal y tantas personas están perdiendo sus empleos y no tienen ahorros para salir de apuros?”, remarcó la experta de la UC. “Piense bien en lo que hace con su dinero para verdaderamente ayudar a su familia”.

Llámanos al: 619-425-7400 Un reporte del Centro de Estudios Hispanos Pew Hispanic del 2011 señalaba que la proliferación de pobreza que había comenzado a expandirse con el inicio de la recesión entre el 2007 y el 2009, iba en aumento y golpeaba a un grupo en especial: niños hispanos. Para entonces, las políticas migratorias no habían golpeado tan fuertemente a la comunidad de indocumentados hispanos, que además de indocumentados son padres, y que vienen siendo masivamente deportados en los últimos años. Así que, azotados por la pobreza y por la fragmentación de sus familias, ¿qué le espera a los niños hispanos de Estados Unidos? De acuerdo con el Centro Pew, para el 2010 más de 6 millones de niños vivían en la pobreza. Ahora, desde esa perspectiva, ¿dónde están los niños de los deportados? Las proyecciones coinciden en que la población hispana seguirá creciendo. Pero las deportaciones no cesan. La esperanza sigue siendo que este país supere sus diferencias partidistas y hable un solo idioma a la hora de decidirse a aprobar una reforma migratoria. Y esperamos que sea una reforma justa, equitativa e incluyente. Porque no estamos hablando sólo del presente de millones de seres humanos, estamos hablando también del futuro de Estados Unidos. Los pequeños ciudadanos americanos que hoy tienen que ver cómo sus padres son expulsados de su país, son los hombres y mujeres llamados a construirlo. ¿Cómo afecta a esos niños la realidad migratoria de este país? ¿Qué ocurre con su salud mental? ¿Cómo afecta la deportación de los inmigrantes indocumentados a sus hijos nacidos en los Estados Unidos? ¿Qué ocurre con aquellos que deben partir con sus padres, a un país desconocido? Con el propósito de responder a estas preguntas la Universidad de Texas en Austin, el Sistema de Salud de UC Davis y el Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría de México se han unido en un proyecto que busca documentar científicamente las consecuencias sociales de las políticas migratorias. A buena hora. Y es que de julio del 2010 a octubre del 2012, casi 205,000 personas, que reportaron que sus hijos eran ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos, fueron deportadas, según autoridades migratorias. “Dada la magnitud del número de niños ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos a los que se les ha separado de sus padres durante los últimos dos años, el realizar este estudio es de suma importancia desde el punto de vista de la salud pública, y nos ayudará a comprender el efecto que tiene en la salud mental de los niños norteamericanos después de la deportación de sus padres”, dijo Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, profesor de medicina interna clínica y director del Centro para la Reducción de Desigualdades en la Salud - Center for Reducing Health Disparities - de UC Davis. Luisa Fernanda Montero El estudio, primero en su clase, es dirigido por el investigador Luis Zayas, profesor y decano de la Facultad de Trabajo Social en la Universidad de Texas, en Austin quien señaló la importancia de que aquéllos que hagan las leyes de inmigración y aquéllos que las pongan en práctica consideren enfáticamente la evidencia científica que produzca el estudio. Aguilar-Gaxiola señala, además, que la separación de la familia puede ser catastrófica para los niños en etapas críticas de su desarrollo y la adversidad en la infancia es uno de los indicadores más fuertes para el inicio temprano de trastornos de salud mental, así como para la manifestación prematura de condiciones médicas crónicas. Hasta ahora, la mayoría de los informes con respecto a lo que sucede con estos niños, señalan los científicos, ha sido anecdótico lo que se refleja en una ausencia de políticas y procedimientos adecuados e incrementa día a día el sufrimiento en miles de familias inmigrantes.

Guest Editorial: AL DÍA A long batch of tweets excoriat ing ESPN for broadcasting the World Baseball Classic in Spanish (though the preferred term was actually “Mexican”) and Justin Timberlake’s Hugo Chavez skit on Saturday Night Live prompted a newsroom discussion about whether we — Latinos — are too sensitive about the way we are depicted, or referred to, by non-Latino Americans. It is not a new conversation. We’ve discussed it before in pop culture terms when we’ve discussed Sofia Vergara’s role in the television show “Modern Family,” Will Ferrell’s turn as a telenovela star in the comedic “Casa de mi Padre” or Jack Black’s interpretation of a luchador in “Nacho Libre.” We’ve discussed it as well in terms of more serious stories — the immigration discourse, Arizona’s SB 1070 and copycat bills that rely on profiling, and, of course, the pieces we’ve been running about ex Lt. Jonathan Josey being found not guilty of the assault of Aida Guzman by a judge with a lot of disparaging things to say about Philadelphia’s Puerto Rican neighborhood and celebration during which the videotaped incident took place. Here is the gist of the contrasting arguments you might have heard if you were a fly on the wall of Al Día’s newsroom day before yesterday (when the aforementioned tweets came to light): Older journalist: If we see but don’t call out derogatory language, stereotyped portrayals or victimization predicated on ethnicity, we fail, both as human beings and as newspaper people. Younger journalist: We all know this type of behavior (speech, portrayal, etc.) exists, and certainly not only toward us. Why must we continually focus on it? It’s too much, let’s just get on with other things. The same sort of discussion has taken place online, on Latino-centered social media venues, with much the same generational divide: the older journalists feeling compelled to focus on stories about challenges and injustices, the younger wanting to focus on attainments and advancements. Is this the Latino generational divide? We thought so. But in digging around for studies about Latino studies about discrimination (and there are a lot of them out there) we came upon this: a 2012 secondary analysis of the 2007 National Survey of Latinos by an associate professor at Rutgers found that a whopping 63 percent of Latinos felt that they were discriminated against. One of that report’s findings was that 30-39 year old Latinos perceived the discrimination most acutely. Then, we happened upon a 2010 NCLR study about Latino youths 15-17. It revealed that almost 83 percent of them reported experiencing discrimination, particularly with regard to stereotypes. Wow. So the real difference, then, is how we, as individuals and as journalists, respond to perceived instances of discrimination. We’d like to ask you, our reader, to weigh in. We’ve put a poll on our website with the same title of this editorial, and a simple yes or no option. Or, leave us your response and why you think what you do in the comment section of the editorial (it appears in English online as well). If you think you need even more room to respond, please consider sending us a longer response via e-mail. Let’s keep this conversation going. Al Día - http://www.pontealdia.com/ Latinos and The Big Bang Theory By Steve Rodriguez India, but that’s all the diversity Hollywood allows on this show. In the past I have railed against Hollywood’s habit of casting so few Latino actors/characters in prime time TV shows. But now I am coming to the unusual conclusion that The Big Bang Theory is not the proper venue for pursuing the elimination of this historic inequity. The truth is, the more I watch this show the more I am convinced Latinos will do themselves no favors by being cast as stereotypical pathetic geeky nerds. Yes, Hollywood needs to abandon such stereotypical Latino roles as macho gang bangers, but going to the other extreme end of the character spectrum might be too high a price to pay for Hollywood diversity. Some people might say true diversity will not be achieved until Latinos, too, are portrayed as socially awkward computer nerd losers. They will propose such roles signal the proper acceptance of Latinos in U.S. pop culture. In this vein, perhaps true diversity eventually means watching Latino T.V characters on a show like The Big Bang Theory exhibit unhealthy obsessions with Star Trek/Star Wars memorabilia, or maybe taking pride in Latino characters that spend their lonesome Friday nights lingering at comic book stores. But as for me, I’d be more willing to settle for some sort of compromise on a Latino TV character, such as a confident, sharply dressed, but morally ambiguous Harvard MBA-type Wall Street bond trader named Alejandro or Alejandra. In other words, better cool, wellattired, high finance greedy, than neurotic, freakishly attired high tech nerdy! What price diversity? That’s the question I now ask myself when watching the popular TV show The Big Bang Theory. Frequent viewing of this highly rated CBS show—now in its sixth season— has previously begged a more fundamental question: How can a show set in Southern California (Pasadena to be more precise) refuse to feature any Latino characters? Each week I have tuned into the show expecting to see a Latino character, and each week I have been disappointed. But upon careful consideration, I have more recently concluded this may actually be a situation where the familiar saying “Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it” comes into play, for the truth is we might not really want Latino characters featured on this particular show. In the interest of promoting a positive image of Latinos, I say it is far better we ignore this instance of Hollywood inequity and pursue a modification of the age old dictum “let sleeping nerds lie.” The Big Bang Theory’s premise revolves around four socially awkward computer nerds who work at the California Institute of Technology. Their social awkwardness is astoundingly humorous, not to mention cringe-inducing. Though possessing impressive advanced degrees, they nevertheless struggle with such matters as obsessive compulsive behavior, athletic ineptness, emotional insecurities, and freakish personal attire habits. And with the exception of the character Penny (the stereotypical dumb blonde), all the other characters in the show are similarly portrayed as stereotypical nerds. One of Rodriguez is an English teacher in the the four male character leads is indeed Sweetwater Union High School Disbrown-skinned; Raj is an immigrant from trict. Email: [email protected] El horror mexicano Por Claudio Paolillo El periodista Quitzé Fernández estaba en la redacción de su periódico, “El Guardián” de Saltillo, cuando recibió una llamada del representante de un capo mafioso mexicano y escuchó: “O vienes o vamos por ti”. Al poco rato, Fernández se vio rodeado por fascinerosos armados con rifles de asalto y granadas, con la punta de un fusil clavada en sus costillas y un cuchillo en la garganta. El capo se había disgustado con noticias de “El Guardián” y amenazó con matarlo. Lo soltaron y pudo contar el cuento. Pero ya nada fue igual en “El Guardián”. Saltillo es la capital de Coahuila, uno de los estados mexicanos fronterizo con Estados Unidos, azotados por el cáncer del narcotráfico. Javier Garza es director de “El Siglo” de Torreón, otra ciudad de Coahuila. Los narcos han hostigado reiteradamente a su diario con bombas y ráfagas de metralleta. En febrero, cinco empleados de “El Siglo” fueron secuestrados. Y menos de un mes después, el diario sufrió otro ataque sangriento a plena luz del día. Murió una persona y varias resultaron heridas. Todo, lo de “El Guardián” y lo de “El Siglo”, permanece en la más absoluta impunidad. “Los grupos (de criminales) saben que los ataques previos contra medios de comunicación, no sólo aquí sino en otras partes del país, han quedado impunes. Esa impunidad es el combustible que alimenta los ataques que recibimos”, dice Garza con convicción. Estos y otros terribles ejemplos marcan el día a día de cientos de periodistas mexicanos. A pesar de todos los esfuerzos, declaraciones, leyes y decretos, la violencia contra los reporteros en México no sólo no ha disminuido un ápice, sino que ha provocado un aumento de su vulnerabilidad y la autocensura en las redacciones. En los pasillos del hotel donde se desarrolló en marzo la Asamblea de Medio Año de la Sociedad Interamericana de Prensa (SIP), un editor me confesó que su periódico desistió hace tiempo de cubrir las andanzas delictivas de los narcos. “Resolvimos vivir”, aceptó con resignación. En los últimos seis meses, dos periodistas fueron asesinados y uno desapareció. Desde la creación en octubre del Consejo Consultivo de un Mecanismo para la Protección de Defensores de Derechos Humanos y Periodistas, una docena de reporteros pidieron ser protegidos por el Estado: tres en México DF, dos en Oaxaca, dos en Baja California, uno en Michoacán, uno en Zacatecas, uno Guerrero y otro en Tamaulipas. El gobierno destinó más de U$S 3.000.000 para garantizar la vida de esos periodistas y sus familias. Según la SIP, el 12 de febrero integrantes del crimen organizado iniciaron el reparto de volantes y colocaron carteles en los que piden la colaboración de los mexicanos comunes y corrientes, a quienes ofrecen “recompensas” de 600 mil pesos para localizar al administrador del sitio de Facebook “Valor por Tamaulipas”. Sin ambages y con insultos, los delincuentes advierten que buscan callar a quienes publican noticias sobre situaciones de riesgo por enfrentamientos entre cárteles rivales e instituciones de seguridad. Las amenazas se extienden familiares directos, padres, hermanos, hijos o esposa del administrador de ese sitio. La impunidad es tal, que los volantes y las mantas contienen números telefónicos para que quienes quieran aportar información se comuniquen directamente con los mafiosos. Esto es: también la policía, los jueces y los fiscales pueden rastrear fácilmente a los delincuentes. Pero, por una razón u otra, ellos siguen libres. El cártel de los Zetas y el cártel del Golfo operan en ese estado. El 3 de marzo Jaime Guadalupe González se convirtió en el primer periodista mexicano asesinado en 2013. Y en el primero del sexenio del flamante presidente Enrique Peña Nieto. González era reportero y director del medio digital “Ojinaga Noticias”, en Chihuahua. Recibió 18 balazos en pleno centro de Ojinaga. Al día siguiente, “Ojinaga Noticias” informó que la muerte del director sería su última noticia. Apenas 48 horas más tarde, una camioneta con sujetos armados irrumpió en el estacionamiento de “El Diario”, de Ciudad Juárez. Dispararon siete veces contra la fachada y entrada principal del lugar. “El Diario” vio morir a dos de sus periodistas en los últimos años, asesinados por bandas de narcos: Armando Rodríguez Carreón (2008) y Luis Carlos Santiago (2010). Antes, el 26 de enero, el director del diario “El Mundo” de Orizaba fue privado de su libertad, torturado física y psicológicamente y amenazado con armas. Al periodista lo subieron a un vehículo, lo sometieron, lo encañonaron y lo llevaron con rumbo desconocido. Ya lo habían conminado a no meterse con intereses de la delincuencia organizada, controlada por gobernantes y ex funcionarios. Todo esto es apenas una muestra de lo último ocurrido en México, particularmente en Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua y Veracruz. Casi nadie investiga nada. Casi nadie es detenido. Casi nadie es juzgado. Y casi nadie va preso. El 95% de los asesinatos de periodistas ocurridos en la última década permanecen irresueltos. No es posible un estado de impunidad semejante sin la complicidad de funcionarios de los gobiernos locales, grupos políticos o intereses económicos. El gobierno federal tiene la obligación de actuar en serio. De otro modo, no sólo continuará la sangría sino que el pueblo mexicano seguirá ignorando lo que ocurre en su propio país a raíz de la censura y la autocensura impuestas por las acciones de los criminales.

Two board members squelch regional workforce program With only two affirmative votes, the Sweetwater Union High School District Board voted on March 11th to eliminate the Regional Occupation Program/Career Technical Education in its entirety. The Regional Occupation Program (R.O.P.) is a job-based education program that changes lives here in the South Bay. The Regional Occupation Program prepares people for good wage technical jobs in a relatively short time. This program elimination must not stand because it eliminates an efficient way for the disadvantaged to have greater access to quality education. The unemployed and underemployed need our R.O.P. safety net. Also, it is a quick way for those with transferable skills to upgrade to a needed employment field. John McCann made the motion to cut the R.O.P. program in its entirety. Sweetwater Board President Jim Cartmill seconded the motion. Pearl Quinones and Bertha Lopez avidly voted against the R.O.P. demise. Arlie Ricasa made an unfortunate political maneuver by abstaining. Despite Roberts Rule of Order, Board President Cartmill declared the abstention as a “Yes” and with that the critically important south bay regional workforce R.O.P. program was cut. Jerry Thomas Chula Vista Why is there only a two party system? Why do we only have a two party system in this country? Why are some of us waiting for the Republican party to play nice and agree to immigration reform when it’s obvious that the Republican party is a party created by and for rich white people. These rich Republican’s act like they’re doing us a favor by allowing us to clean their houses, raise their children, cook their food. It’s time to stand up and take this country back…not just for the minorities but for the everyday hard working American who believes in equal rights for all no matter your background, color or whatever else these elitists’ hold onto. It’s time for a new political party; it’s time for the establishment to recognize that America is not made up of solely of rich white Anglo’s. Angelo Prieto Golden Hill, San Diego LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO MARCH 29, 2013 PAGE 7 Commentary/Opinion Page Immigration Reform: The Long Wait Ahead “Path to Citizenship” will include punishment measures By Eduardo Stanley Congressional representatives in charge of putting together an immigration reform bill are considering a so-called “path to citizenship,” the process by which undocumented immigrants living in the country may become legal residents and later citizens. But this path will include a long wait for those who qualify. After the November 2012 electoral defeat, Republicans changed their stance on immigration reform, hoping that it will translate to some level of acceptance — and votes— from Latinos. With this change, and with the White House on the offensive, a reform is a real possibility. At this point the question is, why will there be a wait and how long it will be? To answer this question let’s first clarify that legally immigrating to the USA isn’t easy. Don Riding, former director US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, www.uscis.gov/ portal/site/uscis), explained how a person can do it: (1) marry an American, (2) have a needed job skill (e.g., engineering, medicine — farming is not included), (3) be a close relative of someone who has immigrated, (4) come as a refugee, or (5) win the green card lottery. Each of these ways represents a different bureaucratic process, with a different amount of time on a waiting list. While direct family members of US citizens (spouses, parents, and children) wait a short period of time, others have to wait a very long time to receive the “green card.” According to Riding, “No country can use more than 7% of the preference category visas. As a result, India and China have longer waits for employment visas. Mexico and the Philippines dominate in the family preference categories.” (http://www.fresnobee.com/2013/ 03/03/3197341/don-riding-immigrationsendless.html) This means that currently the longest waiting time for employment visas is 10 years for skilled workers from India, while the longest waiting time in the family preference system is 23 years for brothers or sisters from the Philippines. President Obama has said the future “path to citizenship” will mean going to the back of the waiting line. One wonders which line he is talking about: the 10 years or the 23 years? There is a huge contradiction between the number of people allowed to immigrate legally and the powerful demand for labor in the USA. Because of this unresolved conflict, hundreds of thousands of people come and stay without proper residence documentation. They are “illegals.” The US economy benefits to a great degree from this labor and, in some areas like agriculture, it’s essential. The agriculture lobby is pushing for an immigration reform that allows for the easy influx of workers, mainly from Mexico, to guarantee the cheap labor it relies on. This means providing legal entrance for these workers — with many strings attached. This is an indication that laws should be modified according to social, political, and economic needs. To keep millions under the status of illegality is, pure and simple, political and economical abuse. It is political abuse because the name “illegal,” based on the technicality of being without proper documentation, allows the US society to single out a certain class of people and justify having them marginalized. It is economical abuse because, while most of them work, they can’t receive basic benefits such as unemployment — which they pay for. Undocumented workers can’t even collect Social Security despite paying for it for years! And, of course, such a status obligates these workers to work under the pressure of being deported if they complain about low salaries or bad working conditions or, even worse, if they want to get organized. Keeping millions of workers as “illegals” is beneficial for the US economy. However, new social conditions and pressure from above — remember the immigrants’ marches of 2006 and 2007 and the de facto Latino-Obama alliance— make immigration reform a must. But in a society obsessed with guilt and punishment, the bill in process will surely include a long wait and penalties as punishment for being “illegal,” without consideration or selfcriticism of why such status was created. This should be a great and unique opportunity for Congress and the White House to overhaul the current immigration law, making it clear and dynamic, for those already here without immigration documents and for future immigrant workers who will continue coming — responding to the call of an economy that needs them badly. Clear and dynamic means recognizing workers’ rights and benefits. As they work and pay taxes, they are entitled to receive Social Security and other benefits they pay for. Californians on Immigration Reform By Raoul Lowery Contreras should have to return home, only one in five. Two thirds of respondents think there should be a path to citizenship for those here today. Ten percent think they should be allowed to stay but not have a path to citizenship. 75% support the proposal by the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” that preempted President Obama’s socalled “proposal.” The Los Angeles Times: “”There’s really not much of a debate in California about immigration anymore, and there may not even be a national debate,” said Drew Lieberman of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, a Democratic firm that conducted the poll with the Republican firmAmerican Viewpoint. “It’s no longer a partisan or racial issue for Californians.” In a profound display of change in attitude among Republicans who now support immigration reform, Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC, with whom this writer debated the subject of illegal immigration when he was Governor Pete Wilson’s (Mr. 187) Press Secretary, told the Times “that California Republicans live in a much more multicultural society than party members elsewhere, ‘so the lives they live every day and the people they see are probably the main reason that their feelings are different than their national counterparts.” An important percentage of those polled – 73% — support a guest worker program. 81% “White” voters support a path to citizenship as do 86% of Latino voters. 88% of Democrats support a path to citizenship as do 76% of Republicans and 83% of Independents. For immigration reform supporters, there is only one word to describe the poll’s results: WOW! This poll shows a 180-degree sea change in California public opinion. Whites, Blacks and Asians join the 40% of California that is Hispanic in supporting immigration reform with a path to citizenship for those here “without papers,” as the saying goes, as well as a guest worker program that by itself will solve the border problem. Now, if only Congress will lay an immigration reform bill on the President’s desk. In 1994, millions of California voters voted for an amateurishly written unconstitutional hysterical piece of legal offal named Proposition 187. It would have forced hospitals to turn away American citizen child patients if both parents couldn’t prove their legal residency; it would have expelled American citizen children from school if BOTH parents weren’t in-country legally and would have done so without legal hearings, appeals or even lawsuits and civil injunctions against witch hunting school clerks that were empowered to decide who was or wasn’t legal. Proposition 187 won by a margin of a million votes. It didn’t win one vote that counted, however. Federal District Judge Marianna Pfaelzer threw out all the immigration sections of the voter-approved “law” because it created a “state scheme of immigration” control that violated the United States Constitution. That defeat started a long string of legal defeats for other attempts to hijack immigration enforcement or even definition written by lawyers for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) principal among them, a paid hack of the country’s biggest and most notorious bigot, John Tanton; the paid hack’s name: Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. The most famous court defeat so far, of course, is the mighty legal squash by the U.S. Supreme Court of Arizona’s SB 1070, another Kobach masterpiece. The 1994 victory of the racist and illegal Proposition 187 has been thrown up as a true reflection of how Americans feel about illegal immigration. Until now, that is. The Los Angeles Times published a new California poll – the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll that turns what happened in 1994 on its head. In fact, illegal alien opponents have used the 94 election results several times to try and resurrect new propositions – “Sons of 187” along the same line but have never been able to get them on the ballot for lack of signatures and now we know why thanks to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll. Two thirds of Californians polled think the Contreras’ new book, COMPREHENSIVE present immigration system is broken.

Así, los magistrados no tienen otra alternativa que apegarse al fenómeno social. Cinco de los jueces, John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Alito y Anthony Kennedy, normalmente se inclinan a la derecha. Kennedy, a pesar de ser conservador, a veces tiende a moverse al lado moderado de la Corte. Mientras que Ruth Ginsburg, Steven Breyer, Elena Kagan y Sonia Sotomayor prefieren leyes progresivas que se adecuan al clima social imperante en la sociedad. La presión societal sobre la Corte Suprema de Justicia es bastante clara. A pesar de que algunos magistrados no tienen afinidad con los gays y tal vez no están de acuerdo ideológicamente con los matrimonios del mismo sexo, lo más probable es que se adecuen a los cambios sociales que se presentan en la sociedad norteamericana. Una decisión a favor de a DOMA y la Proposición 8 pondría en riesgo la dominación conservadora en la Corte. El electorado nacional joven se movilizaría políticamente y permitiría un cambio histórico en el Congreso, el Ejecutivo y en la Corte. Es decir, el nuevo electorado nacional elegiría representantes que profetizan el progresismo social, se inclinarían por otro presidente con las mismas características políticas, o tal vez más radicales, que Barack Obama. Como el Presidente nombra a los jueces de la Corte Suprema de Justicia y el Senado los aprueba o desaprueba, lo seguro es que llene la Corte con jueces de su misma ideología. Al final, los republicanos y los jueces conservadores serían los perdedores. La Corte Suprema de Justicia no tiene más que acatar a los mandatos societales y adherirse a esos cambios. La decisión de la Corte Suprema de Justicia en torno a la constitucionalidad de la Ley en Defensa del Matrimonio (DOMA) y la Propuesta 8 está a en plena discusión. Los nueve magistrados escuchan la opinión de los abogados que están a favor y en contra, y se recluyen en su estrado principal para deliberarlos y tomar una decisión. Sin embargo, esa decisión tan esperada ya fue adoptada por la misma sociedad norteamericana. Los magistrados no tienen más que acatar la ley de la gente, de su sociedad. Existen dos posiciones polarizantes con relación a este tema. Por un lado, los grupos conservadores que apoyan una Ley que mantenga la obligatoriedad de ser hombre y mujer en la contracción de un matrimonio civil. Por el otro, los grupos y personas progresistas que consideran que existe discriminación a nivel institucional, el cual debe ser repudiada y reconfigurada a favor de los gays. Cualquiera que sea el fallo de los magistrados de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, la sociedad mayoritaria norteamericana ya puso su decisión en la mesa. De acuerdo a la encuesta del Washington Post y ABC News conducido recientemente, 58% de la población apoya el matrimonio del mismo sexo. 81% son jóvenes ciudadanos de 18 y 29 años de edad. 44% de las personas de la tercera edad (mayores de 65 años) no están de acuerdo. En este contexto, la cuestión “gay” es un fenómeno social con implicaciones políticas que pondría en cuestión la credibilidad de la Corte Suprema si es que los jueces mantienen la constitucionalidad de la DOMA y la Proposición 8. No simplemente eso, sino que existe un riesgo real de movimientos sociales que pondrían en tela de juicio la legalidad del mismo Humberto Caspa, Ph.D., es profesor e sistema democrático norteamericano, como investigador de Economics On The Move. sucedió en la década de 1960 con el E-mail: [email protected]. ¡ASK A MEXICAN! By Gustavo Arellano after driving 1,800 miles to visit mi padre en Texas, I was surprised at the outrage over Mexican drivers in los estados unidos who don’t have a Texas (or wherever else north of the border) driver’s license. Does the U.S.A. not recognize foreign drivers licenses? If they do, isn’t it simply an insurance issue, and, if so, couldn’t this whole silly problem be fixed by having car insurance companies offer cross border policies? I know that the idea of getting into an accident with an uninsured driver is frightening, but couldn’t this be fixed if Geico (or whomever) sold norteamericano policies? Is there a law preventing this that I’m unaware of? Confuzzled Judeo en San Francisco Dear Mexican: About six years ago, my wife and I adopted a little baby boy.

FINK, jointly be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. 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: April 30, 2013. Time: 11:00am. Dept: PC-1 Address of court: SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, California 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 the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. 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. Attorney for petitioner: Robert K. Butterfield, 10616 Scripps Summit Court, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92131.

His second gold medal meant he joined Edwin Moses and Angelo Taylor as hurdlers who won their second Olympic title eight years after their first. “When I started I just wanted to win a medal, no matter what color. Winning two gold medals is more than a dream, it is extra special.” LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO MARCH 29, 2013 PAGE 9 ~ ~ ~ CLASSIFIEDS ~ (619) 425-7400 ~ LEGALS ~ ~ ~ FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT Fictitious Business Name: CTS SERVICES, 2586 Catamaran Way, Chula Vista, CA, County of San Diego, 91914.

Ree Drummond, known to her fans as The Pioneer Woman, is raising four active kids on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma and has written two best-selling cookbooks. She says she loves to find new ways to put more delicious veggies on her family’s table. “I get so excited about my garden — maybe a little too excited!” Drummond says. “Sometimes I literally have vegetables coming out my ears. Fortunately, I’ve got four kids who love to pick just about anything I plant, so everything gets harvested on time — if not a little earlier.” “When I bring those veggies into my kitchen, nothing shows off their fresh flavor like a little bit of butter — or, even better, Land Ree Drummond O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. I love this product because it comes in pre-measured, one-quarter cup sticks of butter. That makes prep easier, because so many of my recipes, like my Pasta Primavera, call for just 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter.” If you don’t have a vegetable garden or can’t always get fresh produce, don’t despair. Flash-frozen vegetables retain much of their flavor and nutrient value. Thaw vegetables before using them in these recipes, or just heat them through and toss with high-quality butter for an easy side dish. When they taste this good, kids will be saying, “More veggies, please!” Ree Drummond has partnered with Land O’Lakes and blogs at www.ThePioneerWoman.com. Find more garden-fresh recipes at www.LandOLakes.com.
