Celebrating the Life of:
Marta Sotomayor: A life moving forward all the time
By Pablo J. Sáinz
Marta Sotomayor was the youngest of five sisters, but she never acted
as the “baby sister.”
“Since she was little she was a leader,” said her oldest sister, Connie
Puente Miller, who owns El Fandango Restaurant in Old Town San Diego.
“In church, at home, in school, she grew up leading others.”
For her other sister, Celia Moody, Sotomayor was a person who always
had her priorities clear.
“Marta’s life to me was like drawing a straight line,” she said. “It did not
have any ups and downs. It was a straight line moving forward at all times.”
Sotomayor passed away on June 24, 2013, in Corpus Christi, Texas,
where she retired after leaving Washington, D.C.
She was the first executive director of the National Hispanic Council on
Aging, the leading national organization working to improve the lives of
Hispanic older adults, their families and their caregivers.
Sotomayor was born in Mexico City, and her family returned to California a few years later, relocating to San Diego. She lived here until she went
on to college.

Cartel as well as groups linked to the
Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel. In total, at least 15 different organized
crime groups operate in the area.
The rise of La Union has been accompanied by acts of spectacular violence, which has sparked concern
that Mexico City might be losing its
traditional role as a neutral site in the
nation’s organized crime conflicts.
For instance, La Union is suspected of perpetrating the kidnapping
of 12 people from a bar in Mexico
City’s Zona Rosa, which included
relatives of the Tepito Cartel leaders.
La Union is also believed to be behind the October execution of six local drug dealers working for the
Sinaloa Cartel.
Other groups around the city have
followed suit. For instance, last week,
the body of a taxi driver (who frequently serve as lookouts for criminal
groups) was found in Tlalpan, with a
threatening message from the Guerreros Unidos attached to the victim.

Wave of Violence
(con’t from page 1)
InSight Crime Analysis
Mexico City authorities have
long sought to downplay the
level of violence in their city, and
with good reason: compared to
the more chaotic metropolises
of the northern border, or even
to some of the more violent
American urban areas, Mexico
City is a peaceful place.
Through May 2013, the city
registered 336 homicides,
which gives it an annualized
murder rate of roughly 10 per
100,000 citizens. The national
average is more than double
that, while the most violent cities in Mexico typically register
murder rates above 100.
However, local officials often issue blanket denials of organized crime activity in the
city, which is not borne out by
the facts, notwithstanding the
relative absence of bloodshed.
They may operate at a lower
level, but gangs like La Union
certainly qualify as organized
crime groups.
And even if the most notorious criminals in the country
do not have a robust operational presence, the locals have
imitated their tactics. In other
words, it matters little whether
a decapitated head left on a
street corner was the work of
a direct underling of Joaquin “El
Chapo” Guzman or of some
exile of a rival organization.
Mexico City’s recent surge
of violence also demonstrates
the degree to which gang disintegration can drive violence.
The Tepito Cartel lost its status largely to the declining
power of its sponsors, the
BLO, which invited the entry
of competing groups.
Many of the new arrivals are
led by veterans of dismantled
gangs. As InSight Crime noted
last year, the founder of Guerreros Unidos has bounced from
one group to the next, from the
BLO to the Independent Cartel Of Acapulco to the Barredora, another Acapulco gang.
The leader of La Mano con
Ojos, or the Hand with Eyes, a
gang that terrorized the Mexico
City suburbs in Mexico state in
2011, had a similar career path.
According to state authorities,
Oscar Osvaldo Garcia Montoya
began working as a hitman for
the Beltran Leyvas, and split off
with a series of BLO underbosses, among them Valdes
Villarreal, Sergio Villarreal,
Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, and
Jose Jorge Balderas. Following
the arrest or death of all of his
former bosses, Garcia Montoya
formed his own group and made
a name for himself by leaving
decapitated bodies around the
region.
Mexico City is unlikely to
emulate the more violent cities
of northern Mexico, but as long
as the reigning gangs disappear
with such frequency, there will
be continuous challenges to the
city’s security.

20 Years of Border Femicide
Por Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
With a warm smile beaming across her face, Ana
Alarcon recalls waiting for her
daughter Esmeralda at the bus
stop every day. In the proud
remembrance of her mother,
Esmeralda Juarez Alarcon was
a busy and no-nonsense 16year-old who wanted to help
her family move up in the
rough-and-tumble world of
Ciudad Juarez.
The teen had studied accounting and secretarial skills at
one private school, sold clothes
at the Mercado Reforma in the
border city’s downtown and still
found time to study in the
evening at a branch of the private ECCO computer school.
Esmeralda was so good with
computers that the ECCO staff
considered her a “brilliant” student and had the teen instructing other students, Alarcon said.
“She was one of the best
students with straight A’s. All
the teachers congratulated me
for having one of the best students,” Alarcon said in a recent interview.
On January 7, 2003, the day
after Three King’s Day, Esmeralda did not come home. A
few weeks later, in February,
she was found bound and murdered along with two other
young women at Cristo Negro,
an isolated site on the edge of
Juarez. An autopsy determined
that Esmeralda was killed
about a week after she disappeared, Alarcon said.
More than ten years later,
the murders of Esmeralda
Juarez and the other Cristo
Negro victims remain unpunished.
“Nobody knows anything.
There are no advances, no
leads,” Alarcon lamented of
the status of the murder investigation.
According to a 2005 book
by El Paso author and journalist Diana Washington Valdez,
at least six female murder victims were recovered from
Cristo Negro between October 2002 and February 2003,
though Chihuahua state au-
thorities attempted to keep the
grisly findings under wraps. In
the map of gender violence,
Cristo Negro was just one of
numerous, secret graveyards
in the Paso del Norte borderland.
Together with Ana Alarcon,
Velia Tena Quintanilla shares
pain, sorrow, memories, and
uncertainties. Quintanilla described her daughter, Rosa
Isela Quintanilla, as a shy 14year-old who didn’t “trust any
old person” while growing up
in Juarez in 1995.
“She was very serious, hardworking, clean and a homebody
who was very loving with her
family and close to her brothers and sisters,” Tena said of
her daughter.
For a couple of years,
Juarez had been on edge because of the disappearance
and sex-related murders of
girls and young women.
A serial killer was suspected, and Chihuahua state
law enforcement authorities
cried case solved in October
1995 when they detained an
Egyptian national, Abdel Latif
Sharif Sharif, linking the foreigner who spoke little Spanish to multiple women’s murders.
But on December 3, 1995,
Rosa Isela Quintanilla vanished
after leaving the family home.
On December 16 she was
found bound, raped and strangled to death close to Chihuahua
state law enforcement installations in Juarez.
“I told her to take care of
herself, to not go out alone,”
Tena recalled. “Unfortunately,
the day she went out alone is
the day they took advantage of
it to cart her away.”
Nearly 20 years later, Rosa
Isela Quintanilla’s murder remains an unsolved crime.
The murders of Esmeralda
Juarez and Rosa Isela Quintanilla form part of a long series of gender crimes that first
became a major issue in 1993
when Ciudad Juarez women’s
activists like Vicky Caraveo
and the late Esther Chavez
Cano began protesting killings
that would become known as
femicides.
A pattern in numerous
crimes was evident early on:
slim and long-haired young girls
and women would seemingly
vanish from the face of the
earth, some of them later turning up murdered at sites that
served as dumping grounds Lote Bravo, Lomas de Poleo,
Campo Algodonero and Cristo
Negro.
Many of the victims were
last reported alive in downtown
Juarez, a gritty and maze-like
district of sleazy bars, pawn
shops, crowded markets, fast
food joints, private schools and
other businesses. To an extent,
the disappearances and killings
were characterized in the international media as “the
maquiladora murders.”
While some of the victims did
indeed work in the foreignowned factories called maquiladoras, many others were students or downtown workers,
said Dr. Cynthia Bejarano, professor of criminal justice at New
Mexico State University.
“In actuality, we’re talking
about girls, and in some cases
they are like children,” Bejarano told FNS.
Bejarano, who has written
and co-edited numerous articles and books on international gender violence, said
another common denominator
united the victims: social class.
“They either lived in poverty
or abject poverty,” the border
scholar said.
An important contextual element in violence against
women in Juarez, Bejarano
continued, is the city’s border
location, a geographic and politically demarcated fact of life
that makes it a “volatile” place
riddled by “shadow economies” revolving around illegal
drugs, arms dealing and human
trafficking.
Fast forward 20 years after
the Juarez women’s murders
became a public issue and
some things have changed
while a lot hasn’t. Despite civil
society anti-violence movements and government-sponsored reforms, the list of victims is longer than ever.
In the late 1990s, when
about 200 women had been
reported murdered, the national
and international outcry was so
loud that outside agencies like
Mexico’s National Human
Rights Commission and the
United Nations launched investigations and issued recommendations, many of them sharply
critical of local and state authorities.
The initial probes were followed by a slew of official and
non-official investigations variously carried out by Amnesty
International, the Mexican federal attorney general’s office,
the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and others. Hundreds of more recommendations for governmental
reforms and actions flowed,
but the killings and disappearances only mounted.
Precisely how many women
have been murdered and/or
forcibly disappeared during the
last 20 years will likely never
be known since some slayings
go unregistered, record-keeping is incomplete and different
law enforcement agencies report different statistics.
The causes of homicides
varied, ranging from suspected
gangland vengeance to robbery
and to sexual assault. In her
writings, Monarrez has distinguished between “organized”
femicides, such as the ones
exposed at Cristo Negro and
other mass dumping sites, and
“unorganized” femicides consisting of systemic, individualized gender-based killing.
Women’s homicides soared
during the period of “hyperviolence” linked to the cartel
wars that ravaged Juarez
from early 2008 to 2012, and
many murders could be connected to underworld rivalries
as opposed to sex-related violence, though it is often difficult to determine exact motive
since most murders have never
been thoroughly investigated.
Longtime women’s activist
Vicky Caraveo, who served as
the first director of the official
Chihuahua Women’s Institute,
is disheartened by the turn of
events. Asked in a recent in-
terview if she ever imagined
herself back in 1993 struggling
against the same issues 20
years later, Caraveo gave an
emphatic no.
“I thought there was going
to be a substantial change,”
she said, adding that women’s
demands remain the same as
two decades ago: “Return our
daughters, or justice in the case
of a murder.”
Currently the coordinator of
Mothers in Search of Justice,
a non-governmental organization of victims’ relatives,
Caraveo said violence against
women extends beyond the
serial-like disappearances and
murders and touches all walks
of life. For instance, Caraveo’s
group has received recent reports of women threatened and
young girls raped with impunity.
“We’re very frustrated, because violence against women
hasn’t diminished, it’s increasing,” Caraveo said. Women,
she insisted, are “expendable”
and “replaceable” in contemporary society. “We’re at the
mercy of what men can do to
us.”
In Juarez, where official
campaigns are underway to
revive the city and project a
new face to the world through
mega-projects and new monuments, the femicide issue has
largely been forgotten, Caraveo asserted.
“Juarez needs everything.
We need pretty parks, but they
don’t mean you should lose
sight of the other reality of
Juarez, the insecurity of women,” she argued.
Separately, Bejarano offered a similar analysis, contending that attention on the
women’s murders has been
submerged in the broader violence that’s bludgeoned the
city.
In 2013, however, a flurry
of legal activity has swirled
around the arrests of 12 suspects in the disappearance and
murder of 13 young girls between 2009 and 2011. The remains of 11 of the victims were

servirle al capitalismo a ultranza, deshumanizando y sin la
menor preocupación por sus
contradicciones internas que
han provocado crisis financieras recurrentes, desigualdades sociales cada vez más
agudas, desempleo y pobreza.
La globalidad que impera en
el mundo contemporáneo, le
exige a un país emergente

exterior abierta y atenta al

indiscutiblemente, un personaje
respetable en el mundo diplomático; su colaboración apoyada por un buen grupo de
reconocidos expertos en la
materia, es una verdadera
aportación para el momento en
que se decida diseñar una

Celebrando la Vida de:
Marta Sotomayor: una vida en movimiento
hacia adelante todo el tiempo
Por Pablo J. Sáinz
Marta Sotomayor era la
más joven de cinco hermanas,
pero nunca actuó como la
“hermana pequeña”.
“Desde que era pequeña
era una líder”, dijo su hermana
mayor, Connie Puente Miller,
propietaria de El Fandango
Restaurant en Old Town San
Diego. “En la iglesia, en casa,
en la escuela, ella creció
liderando a otros”.
Para su otra hermana, Celia
Moody, Sotomayor era una
persona que siempre tenía sus
prioridades claras.
“La vida de Marta para mí
era como dibujar una línea
recta”, dijo. “No tenía ningún
altibajo. Era una línea recta
hacia adelante en todo momento”.
Sotomayor falleció el 24 de
junio de 2013, en Corpus
Christi, Texas, a donde se jubiló
después de salir de Washington, D.C.
Ella fue la primera directora
ejecutiva del National Hispanic
Council on Aging, la organización líder a nivel nacional que
trabaja para mejorar las vidas
de los adultos mayores hispanos, sus familias y sus
cuidadores.
Sotomayor nació en la Ciudad de México, y su familia
regresó a California unos años
más tarde, estableciéndose en
San Diego. Vivió aquí hasta
que ella se fue a la universidad.
La primera Latina en Estados
Unidos en obtener un doctorado es trabajo social, Sotomayor sirvió por muchos años
como presidenta y directora
ejecutiva del National Hispanic
Council on Aging.
“Marta Sotomayor llevó a la
organización a través de estos
difíciles primeros años - primero como voluntaria y después como directora ejecutiva”, dice la historia del
NHCOA en su sitio de Internet. “Al final de su primera
década, NHCOA se había
establecido como un recurso
comunitario valioso y único”.
Sotomayor jugó un papel
importante en la transformación de la NHCOA en lo
que es hoy en día, dijo su
hermana Celia.
“Los movimientos que hizo
entre varias instituciones
educativas, agencias gubernamentales después de dejar a su
familia en San Diego tenían un
propósito”, dijo Celia. “Marta
fue capaz de encontrar el lugar
en el que podía hacer lo más
que pudo para ayudar a las
personas mayores. Este lugar
fue Washington, D.C.”
También tuvo cargos con el
National Institute of Mental
Health, la Alcohol, Drug Abuse
and Mental Health Administration, y el National Institute of
Health. También ocupó cargos
docentes en varias universidades y facultades de medicina.
“Ella sirve como un modelo
a seguir”, dijo su hermana
Connie. “Su historia le dice a
las jóvenes latinas que pueden
llegar a la cima, al igual que
ella
lo
hizo”.
Pero para llegar a la cima,
Sotomayor tuvo que empezar
desde abajo.
Después de la Gran Depresión, la economía estaba
mal en los Estados Unidos, y
el padre de Sotomayor había
perdido su negocio de abarrotes en Calexico. Su madre,
después de haber sido entrenada como maestra en
México, decidió mudarse con
THE
GRAND
TOUR.
la familia cuando se le ofreció
un puesto como maestra en la
Ciudad de México. Fue allí
donde Sotomayor nació.
“Mi madre tenía una disciplina estricta”, recuerda
Celia Moody. “Ella creía en el
uso de nuestro tiempo sabiamente. Ella conocía el valor de
la educación y a una edad
temprana, se nos inculcó la
importancia de hacer los deberes escolares, así como
nuestro trabajo doméstico
asignado”.
Por último, la familia regresó
a los Estados Unidos y se
estableció en San Diego.
Sotomayor se matriculó en
Stockton Elementary como
estudiante de sexto grado. No
hablaba ni entendía inglés, pero
sobresalió en dictado y matemáticas.
“Tal vez años más tarde,
esta experiencia dio a Marta
el entusiasmo de participar y
apoyar la educación bilingüe”,
dijo Celia Moody.
Sus hermanas describen a
Sotomayor de niña como tranquila, linda, dulce e inteligente.
Ya adulta, dicen que era generosa, reservada, de voz suave,
protectora, elegante, humilde,
cariñosa y atenta.
“Ella estaba muy comprometida con la comunidad.
Ella no sólo trataba de ayudar
a las personas mayores, sino
también a los niños y a toda
las personas mexicanas “, dijo
Connie Puente Miller.
A Marta Sotomayor le sobrevive su único hijo, Karl
Schlatter y su esposa Frances,
y sus dos nietos, Joven y Christian.

¡Cuidado con los excesos!
El abuso en el consumo de
medicinas para el dolor, esta
matando gente. Entre 1999 y
2010 cerca de 48,000 mujeres
murieron debido a una sobredosis de analgésicos, de acuerdo a un reporte recientemente revelado por los Centros
de Control de Enfermedades CDC -.
El reporte señala que desde
1999, las muertes por sobredosis de analgésicos han aumentado en un 400 por ciento
entre las mujeres y en un 265
por ciento entre los hombres.
Por cada mujer que muere
debido a una sobredosis de este
tipo, treinta llegan a la sala de
emergencias por la misma
razón.
De acuerdo con el informe
mencionado, cerca de 18
mujeres mueren cada día en
Estados Unidos por sobredosis
de analgésicos. Solo en el 2010
murieron más de 10 mil hombres en las mismas circunstancias. El problema es grave.
¿Y de qué medicinas estamos hablando? Estamos hablando de los llamados opioides

Margarita Idos, a first-grade
teacher at Zamorano Fine Arts
Academy, answered the call to
teach 17 years ago in the Philippines, laying the foundation
for a celebrated career most
deserving of the UPforEd’s
June Teacher of the Month.
UPforEd, a parent advocacy nonprofit, created the
Parent Choice Awards to honor
teachers who exemplify Idos’
teaching passion and excellence. The honor includes a
$500 cash card along with recognition from UPforEd staff
and its membership.
Seven parents nominated
Idos for the award, with one
parent telling UPforEd: “We’ve
got the best teacher in the
world. Mrs. Idos is an exceptional teacher who continues to
motivate her students to learn
and to love learning.”
In 11 years, the San Diego
Unified School District has honored Idos as Teacher of the
Year twice. The gifted educator began racking up professional honors back in her native
country where she first started
teaching primary grades. She
has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, a Master’s degree in
education and certifications for
GATE, CLAD and reading specialist programs.
Idos makes self-improvement a priority by attending and
leading professional training
sessions partnering with parents
and colleagues on projects, and
recognizing the hard work of her
students. She even applies for
grants to cover educational expenses. Her latest approved
grant bought laptop computers
for her at-risk students.

Sadly, the Border Patrol

recovered from the latest clandestine cemetery, the Navajo
Arroyo in the Juarez Valley
southeast of the city limits.
Similar to Lote Bravo and
other sites from the past, the
Navajo Arroyo is situated in a
zone connected to land and
power conflicts. At the time of
the disappearance of victims
who were later recovered from
the isolated terrain, the Juarez
Valley was engulfed in what
could only be described as war.
Armed gangs roamed the rural communities, kidnapping
and killing local residents, men
and women alike, and burning
down homes. Thousands fled
for their lives, some finding refuge across the border in neighboring Ft. Hancock, Texas.
Yet, none of the Navajo Arroyo victims was from the rural valley- a place notorious as
a drug and human smuggling
corridor. Somehow, the remains of city residents were
dumped in an area where access was controlled by the
Mexican army, police and irregular armed groups.
“The disappearances have
never stopped. There have
been periods when they go

central California. As the current debates on immigration reform were just beginning, I
asked my migrant friends what
they hoped for. First and foremost, the young man nicknamed
“El Gordo” explained, they need
legal permission to work in the
United States. His friend,
Samuel, whose leg was recently run over by a farm truck,
added that they need basic legal protections as workers that
have long been ignored or broken in the agriculture sector and
they need health care while
they are working in the United
States. Finally, Samuel and “El
Gordo” intimated a hope that at
some point in the future they
might be able to stay in their
hometown in Mexico without
having to migrate to the United
States at all.
It is important that immigrants have the opportunity for
legalization in the United States
and we must fully support immigration reform in this direction. At the same time, politicians would do well to remember the diversity of immigrants
and their dreams. We must
work toward fair enforcement
of worker protections for those
already here, regardless of
their immigration status. Finally, the most basic (and longterm) solution for many immigrants would be transnational
development so that those who
so desire are able to stay in
their home countries. This
should include renegotiating the
North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA, enacted
a few years after my 16th
birthday in southern Mexico)
in ways that foster the ability
of Mexican subsistence farmers to survive at home. In this
way, more rural Mexicans
would not have to say, like my
indigenous Mexican friend
Macario while crossing the
desert border, “There is no
other option left for us.”

“(Victims) continue being
young women living in the
working-class neighborhoods
of the city,” Espinosa said. The
activist shook her head no when
asked if upper-class women
were among the victims in
question.
Despite scores of such disappearances, no witnesses to
violent abductions in a part of
the city teeming with human
traffic came forward, suggesting that victims were unwittingly and quietly lured to their
fates. In fact, phony job recruitment schemes meant to
snare victims in a net of sex

State of Chihuahua’s new case
against the 12 suspects in the
Navajo Arroyo episode.
In the march of history, the
systematic disappearance and
murder of girls and young
women in Juarez has transcended five Mexican presidencies, four Chihuahua state
governorships and numerous
mayoral administrations and
city councils. For roughly 10
percent of the time Mexico has
been an independent nation,
the Juarez femicides have
shaped national and international perceptions and discourses.
Bejarano and a colleague,
Dr. Rosa-Linda Fregoso of the
University of California at
Santa Cruz, have expanded on
the theory of femicide to advance the concept of femini-
cide.
A review of a book on gender violence in the Americas
edited by the academics and
published in the spring 2013 issue of the journal Aztlan quotes
Marcela Lagarde y de los
Rios, prominent Mexican feminist and a former Congresswoman, who wrote the preface to the Bejarano-Fregoso
work.
According to Lagarde y de
los Rios: “Feminicide is genocide against women, and it occurs when the historical conditions generate social practices that allow for violent attempts against the integrity,
health, liberties and lives of
girls and women.”

Creole Soul & Honky-Tonk Zydeco - accordionist
Ruben Moreno lights it up
American folk artist Ruben
Moreno brings his sizzling
groove of “honky-tonk” music
and Creole zydeco to the
Centro Cultrual de la Raza,
Friday, July 26, where you can
dig his vocal prowess and
unique accordion style.
The up-and-coming zydeco
artist released his first recording in Oct. 2011, but has been
working in the genre for some
13 years and is known by many
as one of the hottest rubboard
artists in the world, and now is
staking his claim as a premiere,
mainstream vocalist who can
squeeze the box with the best
of them.
At the age of 10, Moreno
opened the Continental Club on
rubboard with Leroy Thomas &
the Zydeco Roadrunners, then
took to the road for the next
decade playing with Thomas
and C.J. Chenier. Moreno then
moved to California’s bay area
and was groomed by Louisiana
native and zydeco stalwart
Andre Thierry, who basically
dons the zydeco crown on the
west coast, and steals the show
when he heads east on occasion.
Produced by Thierry, Moreno released his first solo recording in October, 2011 (Por
Ti Volare’), and since then his
career has skyrocketed in the
genre, earning major respect
from many, including iconic
zydeco ambassador Buckwheat Zydeco.

Mayor Filner in Serious Trouble
M
ayor Bob Filner once enjoyed the support of the
Democrats, the Progressives, and the environmentalist, which led the way to his becoming the Mayor of San Diego. Now
seven short months later, these same
folks are asking Mayor Filner to step
down from office citing Sexual Harassment charges.
Not all the facts are in, and the women
who are claiming the sexual harassment
have not come forward, but the three
politicians who held a press conference
are extremely credible supports of
Filner. These folks were once the strongest of supporters for Filner and they
would have not asked the mayor to step
down from office unless they had rock
solid evidence that something was wrong
in the Mayor’s office.
The fact that former Councilwoman
Donna Frye was the lead voice in this
request only leads us to believe that
Filner has clearly gone way beyond decency. Frye is the leading progressive
Democrat in San Diego. She has repeatedly shown her mettle for standing up
for what she believes in and Frye knows
exactly what the fallout would be by her
coming forward and asking the Mayor to
do the right thing!
For the past six months Republicans
have been gnashing their teeth trying to
upset the mayor and somehow force a
recall, the back and forth has been played
out almost daily in the media. For Democrats and Progressives, Filner has been
a fresh of breath, breathing new life into
the old stoic halls of local government,
controlled by the Republican Party. It is
with heartfelt disappointment that Filner
allowed himself to be caught up in something so bad that his friends are now calling on him to step down.
Filner has been able to shun the charges
thrown at him as partisan politics, these
new charges will not be so easy to brush
aside. We cannot condemn without
knowing all the facts, but the one thing
we do know, Filner’s ability to governor
is damaged, perhaps beyond repair!
GUEST EDITORIAL:
A Message to Washington: There is No
Room for Failure
In the Republican-controlled House,
many legislators are positioning themselves to not only resist but also undermine immigration reform. Speaker John
Boehner has said that he will not bring a
bill to the floor unless a majority of Republicans support it.
Immigration reform has been on hold
for more than a decade, leaving 11 million people in a legal limbo. We strongly
urge representatives in Washington to instead work on sensible and humane
policy solutions that will resolve the
plight of families across this nation.
But for legislators who want to usher
a bipartisan reform effort into a minefield of backwards amendments, we remind them of the following.
In 2006, immigrants and allies rallied
across the country in massive demonstrations. The slogan then was “Today we
march, tomorrow we vote.”
It was not an empty promise.
The anti-immigrant attacks from the
right had grown so hostile that it drove
outraged voters to the polls. They helped
cast a Democrat in the White House. This
trend continued as Republicans moved
to be more inclusive in 2012 but failed
to offer a real program for immigration
reform. The political implications for
those who choose to go to the negotiation table in bad faith are clear.
But more importantly than the political consequences, Congress has a moral
obligation to children who should not be
separated from their parents. It must
bring out of the shadows people who
stand ready for full integration and to
contribute to our nation’s economy as
baby boomers age out.
In these weeks, the issue of border security has been allowed to dominate the
discourse around reform. We understand
that controls at the border are needed.
However, the conversation around immigration reform doesn’t begin and end at
the border. And this two-step process that
many Republicans are obsessed with - that
legalization must be conditioned on a
military border complex- is the same delay tactic they have been using for years.
Undocumented persons are willing to
pay penalties and meet a host of requirements. But to condemn them to some
purgatory in an attempt to seal off the
United States from Mexico is a political
game because Republicans keep moving
the line on what border security means.
We are also aware that Democrats from President Obama down-promised
to deliver comprehensive immigration
reform, with a path to legalization and
citizenship. This does not translate into
an indefinite parking lot for undocumented families until Republicans have
all of their items checked off. That’s not
compromise - it’s capitulation.
We expect both parties to show leadership for a workable policy solution that
sets up immigrants, and in turn, our nation, for success. In the meantime, we
stand ready to bring great attention to
who leads, and who works against this
process.
Why Republicans Want to Tax
Students and Not Polluters
By Robert Reich
A basic economic principle is government
ought to tax what we want to discourage, and
not tax what we want to encourage.
For example, if we want less carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere, we should tax carbon polluters. On the other hand, if we want more students from lower-income families to be able to
afford college, we shouldn’t put a tax on student loans.
Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, congressional Republicans are intent on
doing exactly the opposite.
Earlier this year the Republican-led House
passed a bill pegging student-loan interest rates
to the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, plus
2.5 percentage points. “I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate
with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt
because there’s no reason for that,” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), the co-sponsor of the GOP
bill, said.
Republicans estimate this will bring in around
$3.7 billion of extra revenue, which will help
pay down the federal debt.
In other words, it’s a tax — and one that hits
lower-income students and their families. Which
is why several leading Democrats, including
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, oppose it.
“Let’s make sure we don’t charge so much in
interest that the students are actually paying a
tax to reduce the deficit,” he argues.
(Republicans claim the President’s plan is almost the same as their own. Not true. Obama’s
plan would lead to lower rates, limit repayments
to 10 percent of a borrower’s discretionary income, and fix the rate for the life of the loan.)
Meanwhile, a growing number of Republicans have signed a pledge – sponsored by the
multi-billionaire Koch brothers — to oppose any
climate-change legislation that might raise government revenues by taxing polluters.
Officially known as the “No Climate Tax
Pledge,” its signers promise to “oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes
a net increase in government revenue.”
By now 411 current office holders nationwide
have signed on, including the entire GOP House
leadership, a third of the members of the House
as a whole, and a quarter of U.S. senators.
The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer reports that
two successive efforts to control greenhousegas emissions by implementing cap-and-trade
energy bills have died in the Senate, the latter
specifically targeted by A.F.P.’s pledge.
Why are Republicans willing to impose a tax
on students and not on polluters? Don’t look
for high principle.
Big private banks stand to make a bundle on
student loans if rates on government loans are
raised. They have thrown their money at both
parties but been particularly generous to the
GOP. A 2012 report by the nonpartisan Public
Campaign shows that since 2000, the student

on lobbying.
Meanwhile, the Koch brothers – whose companies are among America’s 20 worst air-polluters –have long been intent on blocking a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system. And they,
too, have been donating generously to Republicans to do their bidding.
We should be taxing polluters and not taxing

its patrons want it that way.

I begin today by apologizing to you. I have diminished the office to which you

The charges made at today’s news conference are serious. When a friend like

my behavior.
As someone who has spent a lifetime fighting for equality for all people, I am
embarrassed to admit that I have failed to fully respect the women who work for
me and with me, and that at times I have intimidated them.

Reforma Migratoria: Semana crucial
Por Maribel Hastings
Mensualmente 50 mil jóvenes latinos cumplen
18 años de edad. Son 50 mil potenciales
votantes por mes; 600 mil potenciales votantes
por año. Hay casi 24 millones de latinos
elegibles para votar y sólo la mitad vota. Se
trata de una fuente electoral disponible para
los partidos que peleen por ese voto y atiendan
los asuntos que les preocupan, como es el caso
de la inmigración para los hispanos.
En cada elección presidencial el segmento
anglosajón de electores ha ido a la baja y el de
votantes no blancos al alza. No hay que ser
matemático ni científico para sumar y restar y
percatarse de que en un país donde las minorías
se encaminan a ser la mayoría, los partidos
políticos tienen que adaptarse y apelar a esos
votantes abordando sus intereses.
Bush y Rove lo entendieron, y lo entienden,
y su mensaje de conservadurismo compasivo
y la reforma migratoria supuso ganancias con
el voto latino, avances que desde las elecciones
de 2008 y de 2012 se echaron por la borda. Y
de hecho, el senador republicano de Arizona,
John McCain, nominado presidencial republicano en 2008, tuvo un pobre desempeño
en las urnas con los votantes latinos porque le
dio la espalda a la reforma migratoria por la
que había abogado y optó por la fallida estrategia
de sólo apelar al voto anglosajón y conservador
para tratar de ganar la Casa Blanca. Casi cinco
años después, McCain promueve el mensaje
de que la reforma migratoria es la vía para
atraer el voto latino.
Este miércoles cuando el caucus republicano
de la Cámara Baja se reúna para discutir cómo
abordar la reforma migratoria y ver cuáles son
los potenciales escenarios legislativos, habrá un
puñado de republicanos que ya han reconocido
públicamente la nueva realidad política y
demográfica y entienden la importancia de la
reforma migratoria para ser más competitivos
ante los demócratas electoralmente. Habrá
otros que la entienden pero temen que apoyar
la reforma migratoria amplia sea contraproducente a sus intereses políticos. Otros más
expondrán su definitivo rechazo a esa reforma.
De otra parte, estarán los líderes republicanos encabezados por el presidente de la
Cámara Baja, John Boehner, que están en una
encrucijada y la ruta por la que opten sellará la
suerte de millones de inmigrantes y del futuro
electoral del Partido Republicano. Boehner
puede optar por tratar de impulsar un plan
bipartidista como el del Senado, que contenga
una vía a la ciudadanía, o puede permitir que la
reforma se convierta, nuevamente, en rehén
de los antiinmigrantes que sólo buscan matarla.
Se trata, sin duda, de una semana crucial para
el futuro de la reforma y del Partido Republicano.
Al ex presidente George W. Bush se le
pueden cuestionar varias decisiones, sobre todo
de política exterior, pero no se le puede
cuestionar que sí trató de impulsar una reforma
migratoria amplia aunque al final su propio
Partido Republicano y un puñado de demócratas echaron por tierra las posibilidades de
concretarla.
Bush se había mantenido al margen del actual debate migratorio, pero esta semana
reapareció para promover el tema, primero el
domingo en una entrevista en el programa This
Week de la cadena ABC, y el miércoles
encabezó una ceremonia de naturalización en
su centro presidencial en Dallas, Texas.
En los momentos en que el miércoles 10 de
julio Bush presida la ceremonia de naturalización
y hable de los aportes que hacen los inmigrantes, sus colegas republicanos de la
Cámara de Representantes, por su parte,
llevarán a cabo una reunión privada especial
con miras a buscar una salida del laberinto que
enfrenta la reforma migratoria en ese organismo.
Los dos eventos del miércoles también
ofrecen un estudio de contrastes entre los
bandos republicanos. Bush entendía, y entiende,
la importancia del voto latino que sin duda lo
catapultó, sobre todo a su reelección presidencial en 2004 cuando se alzó con 40% del
sufragio hispano. Su entonces asesor, Karl
Rove, sigue siendo uno de los estrategas
republicanos que más insiste en la urgencia de
que el Partido Republicano enmiende, a través
de la reforma migratoria, su maltrecha relación
con la comunidad latina y los votantes hispanos.
El domingo Bush afirmó que “la razón para
aprobar la reforma migratoria no es para
apuntalar al Partido Republicano sino para
enmendar un sistema que está roto”. Pero al
mismo tiempo declaró que “en lo que a mí
concierne, las buenas políticas públicas generan
buenos réditos políticos”.
Pero las voces que creen lo contrario dominan
el discurso, hasta ahora, en la Cámara Baja.
Son los que piensan que una victoria política
compartida con los demócratas en el rubro
migratorio no beneficiará políticamente al
Partido Republicano entre los votantes latinos.
Son los que a pesar de la clara lección
matemática de la elección presidencial del 2012
todavía creen y promueven la idea de que sin
el voto latino los republicanos pueden recuperar
la Casa Blanca, ignorando la nueva realidad
política y demográfica del país. Son los que
creen que únicamente aumentando la cifra de
votantes anglosajones e ignorando el voto latino
pueden volver a ganar elecciones presidenciales

most to help the elderly. This place was Washington, D.C.”
Previously, she held positions with the National Institute of Mental Health, the Alcohol,
Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration,
and the National Institute of Health, where she
was Senior Policy Advisor to the Secretary’s
Task Force on Minority Health.
An international consultant, Sotomayor also
held teaching positions at several schools including the California State University School
of Social Work, Baylor School of Medicine,
Howard University School of Social Work and
the University of Maryland Community Development Department.
“She serves as a role model,” said her sister
Connie. “Her story tells young Latinas that they
can reach the top, just like she did.”
But to reach the top, Sotomayor had to start
from the bottom.
After the Great Depression, the economy
was bad in the United States, and Sotomayor’s
father had lost his grocery business in Calexico.
Her mother, having been trained as a teacher
in Mexico, decided to move the family when
she was offered a teacher’s position in Mexico
City. It was there that Sotomayor was born.
“My mother was a strict disciplinarian,” remembers Celia Moody. “She believed in using
our time wisely. She knew the value of education and at an early age, she instilled in us the
importance doing our homework as well as our
assigned housework.”
The family finally returned to the United
States and settled in San Diego. Sotomayor was
enrolled at Stockton Elementary as a 6th grade
student. Se did not speak nor understand English. She did very well in Spelling dictation and
math.
“Perhaps years later, this experience gave
Marta the enthusiasm to be involved and support the English as a Second Language movement,” Celia Moody said.
Her sisters describe Sotomayor as a quiet,
peaceful, cute, sweet, and wise young girl. As
an adult, her sisters said she was generous,
reserved, soft spoken, protective, elegant,
humble, loving and caring.
“She was very committed to the community.
She not only tried to help the elderly, but also,
children, and all the Mexican people,” Connie
Puente Miller said.
Marta Sotomayor is survived by her only son,
Karl Schlatter and his wife Frances, and their
two sons, Joven and Christian.

Presentation of the State of the Border Report and
North American Research Partnership Launch
Monday, July 15, 4:00 – 5:30 pm
Hoffman Room, Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement
2508 Historic Decatur Rd., Ste. 200, San Diego, CA
As the debate over immigration reform has brought the management of the U.S.-Mexico
border back into the spotlight, this report provides a comprehensive look at the state of affairs
in the management of the U.S.-Mexico border and the border region, focusing on four core
areas: trade and competitiveness, security, sustainability, and quality of life. The report suggests
that rather than consider each issue individually, the interdependent nature of topics like trade
and security demand the border be approached from a more holistic perspective.
The State of the Border Report is an initiative of the Border Research Partnership. The BRP
is comprised of the North American Research Partnership, El Colegio de la Frontera Norte,
and the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute.

America: The Land of the Free?
By Nancy Landa
After what has been considered a historic
moment in immigrant rights’ history, many in
this movement are forced to deal with this
question: “Do you support the Immigration Bill
approved by the Senate?” I dare to say I am
not the only one at odds with the long-awaited
reform proposal. On the one hand, it opens the
door to a pathway for legalization. On the other
hand, its strong focus on security is a result of
a misguided public debate on immigration.
There is an underclass of people currently
living on the margins of society. Circumstance
has pushed millions to immigrate to a country
that has refused to recognize them as human
beings with full rights while informally welcoming their labor and benefiting from it. A country
that for decades has turns a blind eye to an
undocumented status when it serves its best
interest but when asked for equal treatment
and fairness of a community that has been in
the shadows, it has only responded by
criminalizing it. It is a place where the most
basic activities such as driving, attending school,
and going to work have become inaccessible
at best or a trigger for detention and expulsion
in its harshest form.
Without reflection, in a near automatic fashion, opponents of immigration reform would respond, “It is a country of laws and they should
be enforced” as a way to justify the treatment
of its undocumented residents. Separating families and destroying lives that have been built
for decades through deportation seem a fair
punishment for such a “crime” of unlawful
presence in this paradigm. If these laws we
are so eager to uphold are criminalizing the most
basic and essential aspects of the daily lives
for over 11 million people, then isn’t it time to
question whether they are working?
Under this bill, the DREAMers (undocumented youth) is the only group that sees an
immediate path to permanent residency by
meeting certain age and educational requirements. Perhaps the group that has received the
most sympathy in this debate, as they never
made a choice in living a life without legal status. Nevertheless, they along with their families have been facing the fear of loosing everything. It is such predicament that has led this
vulnerable group in position where they feel
they can’t demand for a fair treatment and to
accept out of necessity, a flawed reform proposal known as Senate Bill 744.
Unfortunately, the parents and relatives of
these DREAMers might never be able to adjust their status in a permanent manner due to
the imposition of unattainable border metrics
as a prerequisite in addition to strict requirements to maintain a temporary status. Family
separation would continue with this Senate bill.
Nonetheless, these same immigrants at risk of
losing their temporary status at any moment
would still be required to pay income taxes and
contribute to the American economy without
receiving any public benefits like basic
healthcare only available to permanent residents. This seems like one-sided deal and far
from what the immigrant community has been
fighting for decades.
On top of that of that, we have the southern
border, the Berlin Wall of North America that
will receive $40 billion for its militarization; A
profitable enterprise for private prisons. Taxpayers will only see their public dollars go to
waste in a fence that will witness an exacerbated humanitarian crisis that migrants currently
face along the border region.
A security driven immigration proposal demonstrates that the public debate has been derailed by xenophobia rather than an understanding of the migration phenomenon. The criticism
should also extent outside the U.S. It is irresponsible for emigrating countries such as
Mexico to remain on the sidelines and watch
the development of immigration policies that
have distorted a human rights issue into a political negotiation gimmick. Migration is not only
the concern of the host country as it should
involve international dialogue, collaboration, and
agreement. We do it for trade. Aren’t human
beings as important?
It would be a shame that what immigration
advocates refer to “comprehensive reform”
would result in disappointment. Unfortunately,
for an undocumented immigrant, such disappointment would be very costly as it might come
in the form of a deportation. Can American do
better? Only if the immigrant community demands it. The DREAMers and their movement
have shown us it can be done.

Mayores de 50 años manejando con mayor seguridad este verano
Por Lorraine CortésVázquez
VICEPRESIDENTA EJECUTIVA DE
MERCADOS MULTICULTURALES
DE AARP
Con la llegada del calor,
espera más gente en las carreteras. A medida que 78
millones de “baby boomers”
entran en la quinta o sexta
década de sus vidas, espera
encontrar muchas más personas mayores de 50 años en las
carreteras.
Estos conductores son cada
vez más. El sector de la
población con licencia de
conducir de más rápido crecimiento en EE. UU. supera los
70 años de edad. Si bien estos
conductores se encuentran entre los que conducen con
mayor seguridad en todo el
país, el índice de choques por
milla manejada para los conductores de más de 65 años es
significativamente mayor que
para los de mediana edad. Esto
probablemente se deba a
enfermedades y medicinas que
disminuyen la capacidad física
y cognitiva del conductor,
condiciones que se observan
más frecuentemente en los
adultos mayores.
No importa que hayas estado conduciendo por 5 o por 50
años, todos somos responsables de nuestra seguridad en
la carretera. Durante el verano,
la gente conduce para ir al
trabajo, de vacaciones o para
realizar actividades típicas de la
estación. También es la época
en que los ánimos se irritan con
la misma facilidad con que se
sobrecalientan los radiadores y
los motores, así que es prudente
tomar las debidas precauciones
para que todo continúe tranquilo
y seguro.
Estos consejos de seguridad
para el verano son válidos para
todos los conductores:
· Haz inspeccionar tu auto,
especialmente si piensas recorrer grandes distancias. Las
altas temperaturas pueden
terminar en caos para los
automóviles. Asegúrate de que
el aire acondicionado funcione
correctamente. Verifica el nivel
de los fluidos y que las llantas
tengan la presión adecuada.
Cuando estaciones, cubre el
parabrisas para minimizar el
calor dentro del auto.
· Durante el verano, hay más
obras de construcción. Transita con precaución cuando
pases por zonas de construcción. Estate atento a desvíos,
directores de tránsito, trabajadores, peatones y maquinaria
pesada.
· Ten cuidado con los niños
que estén jugando cerca de la
calle o en ella.
· El resplandor del sol
puede hacer peligroso el conducir en verano. Invierte en un
buen par de anteojos de sol
para evitar el resplandor y
proteger tus ojos.
Estos consejos sobre seguridad también son válidos para
todos los conductores:
· Limita las distracciones.
o No envíes ni leas mensajes de texto mientras
conduces.
o No respondas ni hagas
llamadas telefónicas mientras conduces. Hasta los
conductores que usan dispositivos “manos libres” se
distraen, poniendo en riesgo su
propia seguridad y la de los
demás.
o No comas mientras conduces (ni te afeites, maquilles o leas el periódico…). ¡Es increíble lo que
algunos conductores hacen en
la carretera! Espera a llegar a
tu destino.
o Minimiza el volumen de
la música y de la conversación. La música alta, hablar
y los ruidos innecesarios distraen a los conductores.
· ¡Ponte el cinturón de
seguridad! Conductores y
pasajeros (como sus nietos)
estarán más seguros si tienen
colocados los cinturones de
seguridad. Datos de la National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las
Carreteras) demuestran que
los niños hispanos son tres
veces más propensos que los
niños blancos a morir en
accidentes automovilísticos. El
no usar los cinturones de
seguridad ni asientos de seguridad para niños son fac-
tores determinantes.
· No conduzcas en malas
condiciones. Si hay mal
tiempo o si estás cansado,
enojado, deprimido o sobreexcitado, espera y no conduzca.
· No conduzcas bajo la
influencia del alcohol. No
hace falta que estés borracho
para que tus reflejos mentales
y físicos se deterioren. Llama
un taxi o usa un conductor
designado.
Los consejos de seguridad
indicados arriba son importantes para todos los conductores, pero ¿qué más necesitan saber los conductores de
mayor edad? Los siguientes
consejos, sumados a los descritos anteriormente, pueden
ayudar a los conductores
mayores a mantener su capacidad para conducir con
seguridad todo el tiempo que
sea posible.
· Actualiza tus habilidades
para conducir. A medida que
las décadas pasan, reconocer
la necesidad de evaluar, modificar y actualizar tus habilidades para conducir se traduce en carreteras y caminos
más seguros para todos. Cursos de seguridad para conductores, como el AARP
Driver Safety, no solo actualizarán tus habilidades, sino que
te pueden ayudar a ahorrar
dinero en el seguro de tu
vehículo. Visita www.aarp.org/
conductor para más información.
· Realiza actividades físicas regularmente. Caminar,
nadar, estirarse… cualquiera
que sea tu actividad física
preferida, te ayudará a mantenerte más fuerte y flexible,
facilitando el maniobrar, frenar,
echar una mirada hacia atrás
por encima del hombro y estar
alertas al conducir.
· Conoce tu ruta de antemano. Si vas a viajar a un
destino nuevo o poco frecuente, familiarízate con la ruta
que has de seguir, ya sea a
través de mapas impresos o
electrónicos, con anticipación.
Si necesitas verificar tu mapa,
encuentra un lugar seguro
donde detenerte para revisar
la ruta o conseguir asistencia.
· Adáptate a tus limitaciones o cambios físicos. La
visión, la movilidad, las enfermedades crónicas y otros
factores afectan la conducción.
Es muy importante reconocer
los cambios y compensarlos, de
ser posible. Algunas adaptaciones son sencillas, como no
conducir después de que oscurezca si tu visión nocturna
ha disminuido. Considera la
conveniencia de una evaluación, como CarFit, y consulta
también a tu médico para
pedirle recomendaciones al
respecto.
· Conoce tus medicamentos. Los medicamentos,
ya sean de venta libre o con
receta, pueden afectar tu
capacidad para conducir.
Consulta con tu médico y
revisa las advertencias de los
empaques. Podrías no poder
conducir mientras estés tomando determinados medicamentos.
Mantente a salvo este verano
y sé un conductor seguro…
¡todo el año!
