38 YEARS of Publication 1976 - 2014 1976 2010 Vol. XXXVIII No. 27 Voting Rights Still “Under Siege,” Says New Coalition for Redistricting Reform By Anna Challet NEW AMERICA MEDIA One year after the Shelby County v. Holder Supreme Court decision, which weakened protections for minority voters under the Voting Rights Act, a group of civil rights and democracy organizations has come together to fight back through redistricting reform. “Redistricting is not just about drawing maps, it’s about whose voice counts in our democracy,” says Marcia Johnson-Blanco, the co-director of the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, one of the groups in the coalition. “At a time when voting rights are under siege, and the Supreme Court has nullified one of the most important provisions of the Voting Rights Act which gave communities of color a voice and a stake in the issues that govern our country, it’s now important for us to work together to push back.” Johnson-Blanco spoke at a press conference last week where coalition members including the Lawyers’ Committee, Common Cause, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) presented a set of 10 principles that they hope will serve as a framework for future redistricting across the country. States redraw their district lines every 10 years, when new census data on population changes becomes available, in order to ensure that citizens are able to choose their representatives fairly. The coalition currently includes 16 organizations and hopes to expand, with a plan of working with communities to advocate to legislatures and local redistricting commissions to turn the principles into adopted policies in advance of the next round of redistricting, following the 2020 census. The principles emphasize continued compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act, which provides protections for voters of color in electing candidates of their choice. “There is an active effort by political parties and political operatives to manipulate our elections and manipulate the way that district lines are drawn in order to preserve their own power and, in a lot of ways, to prevent up and coming communities of color from participating in that seat of democracy,” said Kathay Feng, the national redistricting director at Common Cause, which lobbies for accountable government. Carl Hum, the vice president of policy and programs at Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC), spoke about the detrimental effect of the Shelby decision, which “effectively struck down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act” that required certain states with a history of discriminatory practices “to pre-clear their redistricting plans and other electoral processes with the Department of Justice.” In the ruling last June, Chief Justice John Roberts argued that the historically discriminatory practices in the states subject to the pre-approval provision (which were mostly states in the South) were no longer a reality, so the provision was no longer necessary. Since then, several of the (See Reform, page 7) La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications JULY 3, 2014 Fiesta del Sol 2014: the perfect balance of entertainment and social justice By Pablo J. Sáinz One of the largest communitybased festivals in San Diego will once again bring entertainment and a variety of resources to Barrio Logan. Fiesta del Sol 2014 takes place on Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13, on Logan Avenue, between César Chávez and 26th St., in Barrio Logan. The event is in its ninth year and organizers expect more than 30,000 visitors during the two-day festival. Just like when it was founded in 2006, Fiesta del Sol continues to be a family-oriented, alcohol and tobacco-free event that offers something for everyone. “One of the goals of the festival is to create that diverse environment where we all can find something of interest,” said festival coordinator Marilyn Armenta. “It is not targeting one specific group. It is a festival for all ages and ethnic groups.” The entertainment part of the festival is highlighted this year by NASA’s Destination Station, an interactive, multimedia exhibition that’s traveling around the country that makes its only San Diego stop at Fiesta del Sol. The exhibition includes opportunities to touch a Moon rock brought back in 1972 aboard Apollo 17, the last time astronauts landed on the Moon. Visitors will also be able to take pictures in a life-sized space suit. On Saturday, there will be what’s being promoted as San Diego’s largest zumba call out in the county. Also, children can enjoy a lucha libre show, with some of the most popular luchadores from Oddity Wrestling Alliance, considered the “premier lucha libre promotion in San Diego.” “You will see the very best you’ve ever seen in the area in years,” said José Alaniz, from Oddity Wrestling Alliance. “I am very confident to state that you will see some of the best talent in the world” of lucha libre. The festival also includes a large roster of local musical talents, from norteño and sonidero, to rock en español and pop. “We continue to be a showcase for local talents,” Armenta said. “These are bands, singers, that don’t have a label, a manager, behind them. We give them the opportunity no one else gives them.” The music side is topped by Angel Lopez, former singer of pop band Son By Four. Since it was founded, Fiesta del Sol has always been a perfect balance between entertainment and social issues, where people can have fun while finding help for their problems, whether it is immigration, health, or education. This time it is no different. At Fiesta del Sol you can find solutions to your issues, said Christina Gonzales, executive director for Justice Overcoming Boundaries, the organization behind the festival. “People describe it as a resource fair,” she said. “Here, you can find information on immigration issues, on affordable housing, on health care, on education opportunities. These are resources that maybe you didn’t know existed but are very close to your community.” One of the most popular areas in Fiesta del Sol is The Civic Participation Pavilion, which features civil, and Fiesta del Sol will showcase a large roster of local musical talents, from norteño and sonidero, to rock en español and pop on the main stage. It was an exciting summer day for Genevieve Muñoz who spent a morning with the San Diego State Aztec football team, at their annual football camp. The morning started out with a pep talk from coach, Rocky Long, followed by a 2 hours skills training. The highlight of the day was her chance to get an autograph from the players.

Marcha Histórica por una Deuda Histórica: los ex braceros y la prolongación de su problemática vea página 2 PAGE 2 JULY 3, 2014 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO Marcha Histórica por una Deuda Histórica: los ex braceros y la La Invasión prolongación de su problemática Infantil MÉXICO DEL NORTE Por Jorge Mújica Murias Abel Astorga Morales De pronto, como de la nada, el mundo descubrió que Estados Unidos está siendo invadido por peligrosísimos inmigrantes disfrazados de niños entre 5 y 17 años. Cincuenta y dos mil, según cifras de la Migra, de estos peligrosísimos sujetos han sido arrestados en la frontera este año, y se espera que lleguen a ser 90 mil para finales de año. Sin duda es un complot. Ya que los adultos deportados no despiertan la compasión de las autoridades gringas, los migrantes están mandando niños a la frontera. ¡Pero no se saldrán con la suya! El presidente que ha deportado a 2 millones de adultos acaba de pedir de emergencia al Congreso permiso para evitar la invasión. El urgente pedido consiste en autorizar a Barack Obama a brincarse las leyes contra el tráfico laboral aprobadas hace 10 años, que establecen que los niños de países que no tienen frontera con Estados Unidos, como Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador, deben ser entrevistados por un agente de control migratorio y no pueden ser detenidos por más de 72 horas antes de ser transferidos a la Oficina de Asentamiento de Refugiados, parte del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos. Servicios Humanos debe actuar “en el mejor interés del niño”, frase que a veces es hueca y no sirve de mucho, pero que por ningún motivo podría significar la deportación. Hasta donde la lógica se puede aplicar en estos casos, ningún niño podría beneficiarse de una deportación. La consecuencia natural sería enviar al menor con familiares en el país, a un orfanato, o con una familia tutelar o adoptiva. Con lenguaje contradictorio, Obama pide al Congreso autoridad inmediata para brincarse la ley para “aliviar una crisis humanitaria” y deportar a todos los niños. Meterlos en lo que prácticamente son campos de concentración, donde solamente tienen una frazada para dormir en el suelo no basta. Hay que deshacerse de ellos. Su petición de deportarlos antes de que tengan chance de ver a un juez y solicitar reunirse con sus familiares en Estados Unidos parece seguir la línea que le marcó la “próxima presidenta” del país, Hillary Clinton, quien Han trascurrido más de diez meses ya, desde que diversos grupos de ex braceros anunciaron el inicio la “Marcha Histórica por una Deuda Histórica”, a desarrollarse principalmente en Estados Unidos. A finales de agosto del año 2013, miles de ex migrantes partieron simultáneamente de Los Angeles y la Ciudad de México, con destino a Washington y Nueva York, con el objeto de iniciar esta Marcha y con ella promover una serie de iniciativas que tienen como finalidad lograr que se les pague a los ex braceros. A tal grado a llegado la inconformidad de los viejos ex migrantes tanto en México como en Estados Unidos, que día con día se incrementa el repertorio de movilizaciones utilizado para defender sus derechos, y buscar la restitución de los ahorros que les fueron descontados mientras trabajaron en el Programa Bracero. El principal grupo promotor de la Marcha, es la Alianza de Ex Braceros del Norte, 1942/ 1964, coordinada por Rosa Martha Zárate Macías. Dicha movilización, al igual que otras realizadas en el último par de años por los ex braceros, fue producto de la inconformidad que causaran las disposiciones del nuevo ejecutivo federal mexicano. Ciertamente, desde el año 2006 se pusieron en marcha los pagos de 38 mil pesos otorgados por el Fideicomiso de apoyo social. Dichos pagos se llevaron en un contexto dominado por la insuficiencia de presupuestos aprobados, la lentitud de las entregas, y por otro lado, las inconformidades de diversos grupos de ex braceros, que no dudaron en manifestarse ante las acciones del gobierno que -ellos consideraban- iban en detrimento de sus derechos. Pero ninguna acción resultó tan negativa para ellos, como la realizada por el nuevo Immigrants or Refugees? FRONTERA NORTESUR In the media barrage over the “flood” of Central American children arriving along the United States’ southern border, the refuge-seekers have been typically labeled as “illegal immigrants” by many media outlets. Under the heading “Life for illegal immigrants at FLETC,” a story posted this week on New Mexico news source KOB re-played the dominant news frame as it reported on conditions at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, where hundreds of Central American children will be detained. “It’s like an upscale hotel in there,” New Mexico state Representative Candy Spence Ezzell (R-Chaves) was quoted, adding that the children would be supplied with toys, television, “three square meals at day,” medical attention, and education. Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh questioned security at the southeastern New Mexico facility, noting that it boasted only a chain link fence with no barbed wire. “It’s just not a real barrier to people who have come this far,” Kintigh said. But Central American migrant advocates have a diametrically opposed take on the crisis, contending that the children on the U.S. border should be considered not as immigrants but refugees meriting international treatment standards, which does not generally include detaining children, (Vea Invasión, página 7) according to Human Rights Watch.

ISSN 07389183 According to the MMM, the “LA 72” migrant shelter in Tenosique, Tabasco, which is located near Mexico’s southern border, housed 6,192 people from January 1 to May 31 of this year. Of the overall client roll, 1,000 were women with children and 800 unaccompanied minors. MMM activist Ruben Figueroa reported that 70 percent of the migrants interviewed mentioned experiencing death threats, extortion or the death of at least one family at the hands of gangs or “narcos” back in their homeland. “(Organized crime) charges for everything, for selling in the street, and it charges all businesses alike-big, medium or small,” the MMM stated. “Extortion is so generalized that it includes the charging of a fee to people who have family members in the U.S.” Honduras, which has been rated as the country with the highest homicide rate in the world, stands out in the “ships of horrors,” as Central America scholar Dr. Dana Frank describes the order of things in some of the Central American nations. In addition to crime, corruption and violence, politicallymotivated repression against journalists, activists and opponents of the U.S.-backed government is rampant. An estimated 88 peasant activists have been murdered in the Lower Aguan Valley alone. “We are facing a phenomenon of forced expulsion in which the actors don’t migrate for traditional reasons in search of better opportunities or family reunification,” the MMM asserted. The migrant activists further contended that the refugee crisis was the product of a “lethal mix” of U.S. border security policies, militarization and “unsustainable economic models” that have dismantled governments and “pushed the governance of peoples to the limit.” Building up over a long period, the spike in the number of Central Americans pushing northward is increasingly a regional issue involving numerous states and governments. In Mexico City, about 100 people staged protests this week outside the consulates of Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Amnesty International joined Father Alejandro Solalinde and other migrant advocates in criticizing a lack of support from Central American consular staff for their citizens passing through Mexican territory. The protesters also blasted Mexican de (See Refugees, page 7) gobierno de Enrique Peña Nieto, cuando dejando ver su poco criterio e interés por resolver esta problemática, se excluyó a las partidas pre- Marcha Historica supuestales para el pago a ex festaciones los ex migrantes braceros, del Presupuesto de lograron aún en 2005 durante Egresos 2013 y del de 2014. el mandato de Vicente Fox, y Es decir, la ley del apoyo so(Vea Braceros, página 7) cial que gracias a sus mani- LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO World War II Act by Mexican Diplomat Deserves Recognition and Respect By Andy Porras He lived to be past 100 years. His diplomatic skills saved thousands of Jewish lives. And he died on a Fourth of July. He was a Mexican. Who was he? If nothing special is on tap for your Fourth of July fiesta this year, why not celebrate the life of one Gilberto Bosquez Saldivar, who lived for 103 years and passed on July 4,1995. Many of us may have learned in history that during World War II, the Jewish economy had collapsed or was in ruin as part of the Nazi-Germany’s “Aryanization” policy. Human suffering was a worst story as the Nazis encouraged racial riots then moved on to larger mass killings followed by sending millions of Jewish victims to gas chambers. A good number of people in the free world may know of the heroic and humanitarian deeds of one Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German industrialist who is credited with saving the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust. Few of us, however, recognize Saldivar’s name, whom some some called “the Mexican Schindler.” Perhaps a misnomer, for Saldivar was responsible for securing safe passage for more than 40,000 Jews. Forty-thousand, it’s not a typo. In sheer numbers alone, Saldivar’s list is much longer than Schindler’s. Of course both men deserve the global community’s appreciation, but thus far only one of them has been rightfully celebrated. It is known that Schindler became a dedicated man and allegedly turned his life around after being an opportunist and seemingly motivated mainly by profit. The asylum seekers saved by Schindler during the Holocaust were employed in his enamelware and ammunitions factories, which were located in what is now Poland and the Czech Republic respectively. In 1982, he was the subject of the novel, Schindler’s Ark, and the subsequent 1993 film, Schindler’s List. Saldivar, who was born in a remote mountain village, owned no factories. However, as a young man he begin to show an interest in serving society and assisted citizens with their rights and organized the First National Pedagogy Congress, later becoming involved in the Mexican Revolution. From there he went on to become a journalist prior to his election as a state legislator and later a senator. While serving as a diplomat in France, he had to abandon his Paris office and set-up his operation in Marseilles, where he obtained two chateaux to house European Jews and other refugees, including leaders of the Spanish Republic, who were defeated in the Spanish Civil War by the fascist forces of Francisco Franco who were seeking to escape Hitler’s war machine. As the German threat begin to affect much of Europe, Saldivar instructed his consulate office staff to approve immigration documents for those wishing to flee. It was then his staff processed the astonishing number of visas and even chartered several ships to transport the refugees to JULY 3, 2014 PAGE 3 4th of July Celebrations Here is a list of 4th of July celebrations, spectacular fireworks shows, and places to watch the fireworks in San Diego. fireworks show, live bands, a video tribute, sun, surf, patriotism and Esprit de Corps all in one day at the 4th of July Beach Bash!

Students will parade with masks, giant puppets and banners that they have created, and as the middle schoolers approach the elementary playground, they will be joined by Rosa Parks’ graduating 5th graders, bearing the masks that they created. After parading before the entire school population, the procession, now close to 600 students strong, will march together back to Monroe Clark, marking the passage to middle school, in a larger than life celebration. Funding for the original parade in 2006 came from an Arts and Culture Community Impact grant from The San Diego Foundation, with additional and continuing funding every year from A-I-S grants from the California Arts Coun- FIESTA (con’t from page 1) human rights information, citizenship application information and assistance, legal non-profit resources, voter registration, and Comprehensive Immigration Reform information and advocacy opportunities. “It is a one-stop shop for all the social needs,” Armenta cil, a state agency, the NEA, a federal agency, the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, and the Dr. Seuss Foundation. This support has kept the parade going and growing into a magical, annual event that celebrates student transition to middle school. Mentoring the process, the San Diego Guild of Puppetry, is hard at work to make giant puppet parade pageantry an important element in the San Diego community at large. Other public, multi-community giant puppet parades have included those at Theatre of the World Festivals at SDSU, ocean and dragon themed parades at the Museum of Art, a number of Dia de los Muertos Celebrations, and parades along downtown San Diego’s waterfront. Lynne Jennings, Guild Executive Director, explains: “Giant puppetry, by its very size, inspires awe. It builds stronger communities, as individuals become part of a committed team effort. It engenders the realization that working together, people can effect powerful and positive change. It invites participants and spectators of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to join hands in celebration!” Everyone is invited to come and cheer. The parade route will start at the Monroe Clark Middle School field, go east on Myrtle and north on 45th to Rosa Parks, circle the elementary school playground and then retrace the route back to the middle school. said. “Our festival is not only a place where you go to have fun: You also learn of new ways to improve your family’s life.” Fiesta del Sol is put together by an army of loyal volunteers that every year spends several months planning and managing the festival. “Our volunteers believe in Fiesta del Sol because they see the good it brings to the com- munity,” Armenta said. Organized by the nonprofit Justice Overcoming Boundaries-San Diego, Fiesta del SolSan Diego is modeled after Fiesta del Sol-Chicago. Fiesta del Sol 2014 will be on Saturday July 12th and Sunday July 13th, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both days on Historic Logan Ave., between César Chávez and 26th St., in San Diego.

She was sold into prostitution. She tried to escape three times but each time was caught and beaten. For three years she was a victim of Human Trafficking. She finally escaped and was reunited with her daughter. I met Virginia through a good friend; I was struck by her positive attitude. She is a Phenomenal Woman. She is the Founder of Survivors of Human Trafficking Foundation in Santa Ana, Ca. She provides, shelter, food, clothing and other services to survivors of Human Trafficking. As well as rescuing victims. And providing services to victims of domestic violence her goal is to end violence and human trafficking. Virginia gives her all to the Foundation and to helping people.

Teenage sexuality and youth Violence, Legal counseling, Asylum and immigration, relocation and witness Protection, individual therapy and family counseling, Community Support from other victims. Personal life training, employment and special integration. Who we serve: Human Trafficking is a complex and multifaceted issue that is not always sexual and does not exclusively affect women, although the United Nations reports that 2.4 million people world wide are exploited as victims of sexual or labor exploitation and that 80% of them are women, such estimates are underrepresented of the actual numbers and demographics. Thus, while our main demographic tends to be women Fundacion de Sobrevivientes de Trafico Humano believes in maintaining an open criteria impartial to sexual orientation gender class or disability. Objectives: FSTH seeks too create a space of dialogue & empowerment for victims of Human Trafficking, Mobilize against the silencing of women under repressed minority populations. Advocate Grassroots Trafficking prevention; establish community outreach projects, Host conferences, workshops and working groups to help raise awareness of violence. Create a dialogue be- tween the university and communities afflicted by trafficking. To establish a center for clinical and social research into issues of sexual abuse, forced labor and other modes of corporal exploitation. Who we are: We are a Foundation that advocates public awareness of modern modes of Human slavery as well as a democratically engaged community activism and social responsibility towards exposing and mitigating the effects of violence against silenced persons, both domestically and internationally. In its diverse forms as a non profit organization. We believe that essential services should be made available to the most vulnerable and economically disadvantaged sectors of our communities. Which is why we have established relations with professionals in our communities in providing medical psychological legal and education services. We are also open to new and innovative projects and encourage grassroots and initiatives and creativity.

Was I susceptible to any particular pharmaceuticals? Was I a slow or fast metabolizer? And then there was also the fun of connecting with possible relatives around the world. But when I received the results a few weeks later and logged onto the 23andMe.com website, I was given a somewhat terrifying option – do you want to know if you have the APOE gene that is associated with Alzheimer’s? My paternal grandmother suffered the affliction which had taken over her life sometime after she turned eighty. By 86, the descent was complete and we mostly blamed it on the fact that she was a lifetime smoker, despite her otherwise quite vigorous and healthy lifestyle. Well, I have never been one for holding back. Click. And, yep, there it was, an ugly positive. “The official name of this gene is “apolipoprotein E.” Sounds more like a child’s treat than a terrifying genetic curse. My parents have both passed eighty and neither is showing signs of dementia. In fact my father, suffering a number of physical ailments, is still as sharp and sarcastic as ever. Still, that only offers a limited amount of comfort because the gene is associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s and right now, preventions in standard medicine practices are nonexistent. So it was with great interest I learned about Perla Kaliman’s work on using diet to promote brain health. Kaliman holds a PhD in biochemistry and she has conducted her scientific research at places like the University of California, University Barcelona, University of Nice and University of Buenos Aires. Currently, she works at the Spanish Na- tional Research Council Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Barcelona. Admittedly, I met Professor Kaliman in an unusual way. I was wearing a special motion capture suit, connected to a robot in Barcelona. The robot was acting as an extension of myself, my literal body, so that I could interview Professor Kaliman. When I spoke, the jaw of the robot moved and my audio came out of its mouth. I could reach my hand out to shake her hand, and its eyes blinked, giving me a sense of presence in the room. The main reason I was *there* however, was to interview Professor Kaliman on what I could use to promote a healthy brain beyond the standard prescription of crossword puzzles and exercise. According to Professor Kaliman, the brain begins losing mass and memory at around 40 years of age and while the last century’s improvements has extended life expectancy more than 30 years, advances in brain care have not kept up. As Kaliman points out, the degeneration of cells in the central nervous system leads to a host of illnesses. She says, “More than 35 million people worldwide live with some form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. By the year 2050 it is expected the number of people with dementia will rise to 114 million.” Gulp. How can I dodge what now seems an inevitable bullet? Please don’t cringe if I call it a “no-brainer moment,” but it was something that seems so obvious yet came surprisingly late. Just four years ago, Nature decided to devote a supplemental issue to “nutrigenomics,” a new avenue of science on how nutrition and gene expression – whether a gene is turned on or kept silent – might be linked. Nutrigenomics studies range from why we may like certain foods or why someone may be more susceptible to an onset of Alzheimer’s if they eat a fatty diet, which has been Kaliman’s main concern. Her work focuses on how particular nutrients can be obtained from food to maintain good brain health and whether avoiding others can be equally beneficial. The strategy, she says, “is to eat foods daily which provide neuroprotective factors. Our objective is to put you on the forefront of neuroscientific knowledge so you can begin cooking for your brain and well being.” I have never been one for vitamin chomping, juice cleansing or extreme herbal remedies so I approach Kaliman with some reticence. However, as she shows the foods she has laid out before me, they are simple and delicious. Fresh blueberries and strawberries, ginger and mint. Of course, I can’t really drink the smoothie she calls an “intelligence cocktail” given that I am speaking to her through my robot body, but I have memory enough of such flavors to know that her suggestions will be tasty and refreshing. Could staying mentally agile be so simple? Kaliman thinks so. She collaborated with Spanish chef Miguel Aguilar to produce an elegant book, Cocina Para Tu Mente (Cooking for Your Mind) both as a way to explain the basics of brain neurotransmitters and to offer specific recommendations for diet. The book also includes a lovely array of simple recipes that go way beyond the lovely smoothie that she has made for my metallic doppelganger to witness. Perhaps not surprisingly, the culinary offerings reveal a definite Spanish influence including a bacalao and purple potato dish, garlic soup and a cream of walnut dessert. I don’t expect you to wait around to see how this story turns out, but I can tell you that as I write this, I am popping blueberries in my mouth and there was definitely some extra ginger in last night’s dinner. I’ll be back on my rollerblades later today. And, just in case, I will break open one of the crossword puzzles that I have neglected of late.

LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL El Soporte Informativo Para Millones de Hispanos Por Luisa Fernanda Montero El cigarrillo no solo mata, también tortura “De algo tiene que morirse uno”, esa es una expresión popular entre fumadores. Y es claro que es así; es más, todos nos vamos a morir, esa es la gran certeza universal. Pero lo que ciertos acérrimos fumadores tal vez no piensan es en el gran dolor que antecede al final, cuando decidimos matarnos lentamente atados a un mísero cigarro. Las consecuencias del hábito de fumar en la salud del adicto son prácticamente innumerables; y hay para todos los gustos, desde la famosa tos del fumador, pasando por el aliento a cenicero, hasta la perdida de los dientes causada por las enfermedades de las encías o los infames dolores del cáncer. Pero en eso no se piensa, cuando de gozar del infame se trata. El consumo de cigarrillo sigue siendo la causa principal de muertes prevenibles en Estados Unidos. Fumar mata a más de 480 mil personas en este país cada año. La única solución para este mal es no fumar. Si fuma, lo de dejarlo es urgente. Los efectos del cigarrillo en el organismo son inmediatos y el dolor, a la postre, es real, y eso es lo que busca reflejar la última campaña de Los Centros de Control de Enfermedades. Felicita, por ejemplo, es una de las mujeres que da su testimonio en el marco de la campaña. Ella tiene poco más de 50 años, pero hace mucho que perdió toda su dentadura. Tendrá que vivir por el resto de su vida con el dolor de no tener dientes. En un escueto videoclip realizado para la campaña, Felicita se abre para mostrar cómo es vivir sin dientes, cómo es vivir torturada y como es saber que deberá vivir así hasta su último día. “A través de los años, el cigarrillo fue consumiendo mis encías, fue consumiendo los huesos de mis dientes y eso es algo de lo que nunca me di cuenta”, dice una mujer que decidió empezar a fumar a la edad de 13 años. Pero, es por lo menos curioso saber que a esa edad, ella compartió con su madre que se había iniciado en el hábito. Su madre, entonces, fue enfática: “Puedes hacerlo, si lo puedes solventar”. ¿Qué hubiera sido de Felicita si su madre hubiera sido un poco, solo un poco, más consiente y hubiese encausado a su hija por un camino menos escabroso cuando aún era tiempo? El mensaje es claro, debemos hacer lo que esté a nuestro alcance para que nuestros hijos y los jóvenes a nuestro Luisa Fernanda Montero alrededor se mantengan alejados de este vicio. Si somos nosotros los que hemos caído en las redes de humo de este encantador de incautos, debemos saber que nunca es tarde para detenernos. Dejar de fumar es posible. Muchos lo hemos logrado y usted no tiene porqué ser la excepción. Y si, de algo tendremos que morir, pero no es lo mismo morir satisfechos y tranquilos tras una sana vejez, que morir en medio del dolor y el sufrimiento, atados a un tanque de oxígeno, sin tráquea o sin voz o sin lengua por los desafueros de la enfermedad. Existe ayuda, pero recuerde siempre su mejor opción es usted mismo; usted puede decidir que su calidad de vida, su futuro y su vida valen mucho más que un efímero y engañoso momento de placer. El cigarrillo no solo mata, también tortura. LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO JULY 3, 2014 PAGE 5 Film Review: DOCUMENTED is an emotional journey that Participarán 14 Talentos Bajacalifornianos en la OSIM puts a face and feelings to the immigration issue Jose Antonio Vargas attends a Mitt Romney presidential campaign rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa By Zachary Sorgalla LATINALISTA I’m not afraid to admit it; I love getting my fix of ridiculous Hollywood action movies with explosions and fast cars, but sometimes it’s refreshing to watch a good documentary because they offer a glimpse of reality that you often can’t find in a Hollywood blockbuster. DOCUMENTED, a new film that debute on CNN, June 29, looks into the issues surrounding the heated issue of immigration in America. Instead of simply looking at facts and numbers, DOCUMENTED takes you on an emotional journey through the life of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas. While trying to cover a topic like immigration in 90 minutes is certainly no easy task, DOCUMENTED’s biggest strength is putting a real face to the issue. One of the most compelling ideas throughout the movie is the idea of the power of wording. One of Vargas’ campaigns is to get people to think about what it means to be an American; is it merely a title on pa- per, or is it something greater than that? Vargas explains early in the film that he was brought to America from the Philippines when he was 12, and he considers himself an American more than anything else. Even the title itself is “a film by an undocumented American” as opposed to “a film by an illegal immigrant.” Even though Vargas and others like him consider themselves Americans, there’s no pathway for them to gain citizenship. At one point in the movie, Vargas attended a Mitt Romney campaign rally with a sign identifying himself as undocumented. An elderly couple confronted him and suggested he just get his papers, but when Vargas explained that there was no process for him to follow, they – along with myself – were left speechless and confused. This wasn’t the only part of the movie that was especially eye-opening. Vargas explained how he was living in two closets when he was in high school – he was in the closet about his sexuality and his immigration status. He came out as gay during high school, which was long before he openly spoke about his immigration status. Vargas says he first came out as gay because it was easier to be gay than undocumented. It says a lot about our immigration system when someone thinks it’s easier to come out as gay in a decade that still frowned upon homosexuality. Most importantly, however, there are some common misconceptions about immigrants that the film addresses that are especially enlightening. It’s obvious that not all immigrants are Hispanic, but I think most people instantly think of the stereotypical Mexican day laborer when talking about undocumented immigrants. The film makes an especially good point showing that undocumented immigrants of all races and nationalities consider America as their home. When Vargas met up with many different undocumented immigrants to do a cover for TIME Magazine, we saw people from Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. Personally, I would have liked to have seen more about these other people’s stories, but I think the time constraint was the biggest factor that kept us from learning more. Overall though, DOCUMENTED is a new documentary that tells an emotionallycharged story that was definitely worth watching.

Fiesta del Sol 2014: el balance perfecto de entretenimiento y justicia social Por Pablo J. Sáinz Uno de los festivales comunitarios más grandes en San Diego una vez más traerá entretenimiento y una variedad de recursos a Barrio Logan. Fiesta del Sol 2014 tendrá lugar el sábado y domingo, 12 y 13 de julio, sobre la Logan Avenue, entre César Chávez y 26th St., en Barrio Logan. El evento está en su noveno año y los organizadores esperan más de 30 mil visitantes durante los dos días. Tal como cuando fue fundado en 2006, Fiesta del Sol continua siendo un evento libre de alcohol y tabaco enfocado en la familia que ofrece algo para todos. “Una de las metas del festival es crear un ambiente diverso donde todos podemos encontrar algo de interés”, dijo la coordinadora del festival, Marilyn Armenta. “No se trata nada más de un grupo. Es un festival para todas las edades y grupos étnicos”. En la parte de entretenimiento este año sobresale NASA’s Destination Station, una exhibición interactiva que viaja por el país y hará su única parada en San Diego durante Fiesta del Sol. La exhibición incluye oportunidades de tocar una piedra lunar que fue traída en 1972 a bordo de Apollo 17, la última vez que los astronautas aterrizaron en la Luna. Los visitantes también podrán tomarse fotos en trajes espaciales. El sábado habrá lo que se promueve como el evento más grande de zumba en el Condado de San Diego. También los niños podrán disfrutar de un show de lucha libre, con algunos de los luchadores más populares de Oddity Wrestling Alliance, considerada una de las asociaciones de lucha libre más grandes de San Diego. “Podrán ver lo mejor que han visto en el área en años”, dijo José Alaniz, de Oddity Wrestling Alliance. “Estoy seguro que verán algo de los mejores talentos en el mundo” de la lucha libre. El festival también incluye un gran número de músicos locales, desde norteño y sonidero hasta rock y pop en español. “Continuamos siendo una plataforma para talentos locales”, dijo Armenta. “Estas bandas, cantantes, que no tienen una disquera, que no tienen un manager detrás de ellos. Les damos la oportunidad que nadie más les da”. La parte musical tendrá la presentación de Ángel López, antiguo vocalista del grupo de pop Son By Four. Desde su fundación, la Fiesta del Sol siempre ha sido un perfecto equilibrio entre los temas sociales y entretenimiento, donde la gente puede divertirse al mismo tiempo que encuentra ayuda para sus problemas, ya sean de inmigración, de salud o de educación. Esta vez no es diferente. En Fiesta del Sol puedes encontrar soluciones a tus problemas, dijo Christina Gonzales, directora ejecutiva de Justice Overcoming Boundaries, la organización detrás del festival. “La gente lo describe como una feria de recursos”, dijo. “Aquí, puedes encontrar información en temas de inmigración, en vivienda a bajo costo, en cuidado médico, en oportunidades educativas. Estos son recursos que quizá ni siquiera sabías que existían pero que están muy cercanos a tu comunidad”. Una de las áreas más populares en Fiesta del Sol es el Civic Participation Pavilion, que ofrece información sobre derechos humanos, asistencia con la ciudadanía, recursos legales, registro de votantes, así como datos sobre la reforma migratoria. “Puedes encontrar toda la información para las necesidades sociales”, dijo Armenta. “Nuestro festival no solo es un lugar donde vas a divertirte: también conoces nuevas maneras de mejorar la vida de tu familia”. Fiesta del Sol es coordinada por un ejército de voluntarios leales que cada año pasan varios meses planeando el festival. “Nuestros voluntarios creen en Fiesta del Sol porque ven el bien que trae a la comunidad”, dijo Armenta. Organizado por la organización Justice Overcoming Boundaries San Diego, Fiesta del Sol San Diego fue inspirada por la Fiesta del Sol-Chicago. Fiesta del Sol 2013 será el sábado 12 de julio y domingo 13 de julio de 11 am a 7 pm los dos días sobre la histórica Logan Ave., entre César Chávez y la 26, en San Diego. Ottmar y Joshua Mastashi de Tijuana, jóvenes violinistas invitados por la OSIM Por: Paco Zavala Durante la gira nacional 2014 de la Orquesta Sinfónica Infantil y Juvenil de México (OSIM), participarán 14 becarios jóvenes provenientes del Programa Talentos Artísticos: Valores de Baja California Ellos son: Jesús Medina Corrales (violín I), Uriel Garnica Medina (violín II), Ricardo Rico Rojas (viola), Roberto Medina Corrales (corno), Sergio Contreras Gutiérrez (Contrabajo) y Alejandra Stoopignan García (percusiones), todos ellos son los músicos más sobresalientes de la Orquesta Sinfónica Red Río Nuevo establecida en Mexicali. Además: Joshua Mastachi Mendoza (violín I), Yeriel García Romero y Ottmar Mastachi Mendoza (violín II), Gabriel García Gutiérrez (viola), Yared García Romero (violoncello), Alfonso Sánchez Betanzo (flauta), Tania Ojeda Méndez (fagot) y Rubén Bañuelos Preciado (percusiones), estos son los músicos más sobresalientes de las Orquestas Redes 2025 del Centro de Artes Musicales, establecidas en Tijuana. Manuel Felipe Bejarano Giacomán, Director General del Instituto de Cultura de Baja California, dijo que estos 14 jóvenes músicos representarán a Baja California durante la gira de conciertos de la OSIM para este 2014. Estos 14 pequeños músicos serán acreedores a una beca con talleres de restauración de instrumentos, clases magistrales, además del acceso a profesores especializados de cada uno de los instrumentos sinfónicos, en el campamento intensivo de estudio a realizarse durante el presente mes de julio. Talentos Artísticos: Valores de Baja California, comparte con gusto esta noticia, la Coordinadora Estatal del Programa, agregó que este evento es resultado del seguimiento que se ha dado a sus becarios a través de clases individuales, clases magistrales y parti- PHONE: 619-993-5778 FAX: 619-286-2231 cipaciones nacionales e internacionales adicionales a las actividades que llevan a cabo en sus correspondientes orquestas. En otra nota, el pasado domingo 29 de junio en el Monumento a Cuautémoc, en la Zona del Río, se rindió un homenaje a Cuitláhuac, para celebrar un aniversario más de la noche victoriosa. El Movimiento Ideológico de la Mexicanidad y Grupo de Danza Azteca Izcalli Xiuhtecuhtli, circularon una cordial invitación a la participación de este evento. La celebración inició con la entrega de ofrendas florales y danzas aztecas, así informaron Bernardina Green, Fundadora del Movimiento Ideológico de la Mexicanidad y Oscar Rodríguez “Cimnatl” Jefe de la Danza Azteca en conferencia de prensa en el ICBC. “El 30 de junio de 1520 trascendió en nuestro Calendario Cívico Nacional, durante 494 años (1520-2014) como la “Noche triste” negándonos los mexicanos durante generaciones a conmemorar esta fecha, como noche victoriosa de Cuitláhuac de acuerdo a la verdad histórica”. Finalmente se logró la aceptación de grupos políticos, pueblo de México y su movimiento de la mexicanidad aceptarlo y hoy día lo celebramos. En otra nota complementaria, se hace un llamado a la ciudadanía tijuanense a unirse a la participación de las celebraciones por el 125 Aniversario de la Fundación de Tijuana. Un total de 77 actividades a lo largo de 31 días, forman parte de las actividades de celebración por el 125 Aniversario de Tijuana coordinadas por el Ayuntamiento de Tijuana a través del Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura (IMAC), con la misión de rescatar su historia y fortalecer la identidad de la ciudad, al tiempo que se ofrece un calendario de eventos artísticos y culturales para la ciudadanía. Como lo señaló en conferencia de prensa la presidenta del Patronado del DIF Tijuana, la Señora Elia Manjares de Astiazarán, el común denominador de estas actividades es el talento local que ha posicionado a Tijuana, como una capital cultural con la participación de figuras tales como: Syrak Baloyan, María Juncal y César Olguín, Los Moonlights, Real de Catorce entre otros. “Este año las festividades están encaminadas a celebrar con tijuanenses para los tijuanenses. Esta es la visión del Dr. Astiazarán, el Presidente Municipal de la ciudad, ha hecho además mucho énfasis en impulsar el deporte, la cultura, los valores y la educación, que sean ejes para que la ciudad pueda trascender”, así lo comento Jesús Flores Campbell, Director del IMAC. Para concluir, en el marco del 125 Aniversario de la ciudad de Tijuana, el IMAC, el pasado 1 de julio se presentó en concierto especial el Grupo Cuatro para Tango, que celebra 10 años de existencia. El evento contó con la presencia del extraordinario bandoneonista argentino César Olguín, Director de la Orquesta Mexicana de Tango, como invitado especial de Cuatro para Tango para este concierto, el cual se llevó a cabo en la Casa de la Cultura Altamira. LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO DIGITAL FORMAT issuu.com / danielmunoz33 PAGE 6 JULY 3, 2014 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO The Supreme Court, Superintendent Brand, and the World Cup I t was a tumultuous week starting with two significant Supreme Court decisions, Superintendent Brand of Sweetwater High School District begin released from his job, and of course the loss by both the United States and Mexico in the World Cup! This week marked the final week of the Supreme Court’s session before their summer break. During the week, the Court made two rulings: the Hobby Lobby ruling and the Harris v. Quinn ruling. The conservative-majority Court’s decision on these two cases were both conservative in nature. A couple of years ago the Supreme Court ruled that corporations had the same rights as people do when it comes to free speech. The Court declared that corporations’ rights to free speech were being denied when campaign contributions to Political Action Committees were limited. The idea that corporations have the same rights as people was further applied in the Hobby Lobby ruling. The Hobby Lobby case was about a corporation not paying for contraceptive-related coverage under Obamacare, based on the religious beliefs of the owners. This marks the first time that the Supreme Court has allowed companies the ability to declare a religious belief. This is a blow to woman’s rights, where their personal healthcare choices can now be limited, based on another’s rights. The second Supreme case ruled on this past week was the Harris v Quinn case. The court ruled that requiring home health-care workers in Illinois to pay union dues violated the workers’ First Amendment rights. In essence the court stated that home health care workers, while paid by the State via Medicaid dollars, were hired as “personal assistants” by a family, and as such were exempt from being forced to pay union dues. At the heart of the argument was that some home-care workers disagreed with the political action of the union. Although those workers had the right to opt out of payments going toward politics, the court found that requiring those union workers to pay any dues at all violated their Free Speech. In 2013, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich had unionized the home-care workers via executive order, thus forcing all workers to pay union dues. Prior to this the workers had the option of joining the union, and if a worker did not join they still enjoyed the benefits of the union, including pay raises and health benefits. The Supreme Court could have made a broad stroke with this ruling by simply stating all public unions could not request “fair-share fees” or “agency fees”, but instead limited the scope of the ruling to exempt a new category of worker, the “partial public employee.” Because these workers are paid by the government but hired, fired, and managed by individual clients they are neither fully of the public sphere, nor fully of the private, but are now considered a new, unprotected, class of workers. Though limited in scope this ruling will have long term ramifications for unions moving forward. On June 30 Sweetwater Union High School District Board terminated the contract of Ed Brand. He will be paid his full contract until October 1, but as of July 3 he is out of office. This is the final clean sweep for a school district that has been topsy-turvy for several years now. Dr. Brand had led the parade with several questionable deals such as his oncampus association with a private college. What can you say about the World Cup, so far, as it continues down the road to a champion? Both the United States and Mexico national teams made it to the round of 16, the 16 best teams in the world, only to get bounced out yet again. The United States played admirably in the round-robin round, finishing second to the German team and moving on to the next round. In the round of 16, U.S. fans were shown the difference between an excellent team, Belgium, and an up-an-coming team like the United States. The Belgians clearly outplayed the U.S. team, but the United States played with heart and gumption and goalie Tim Howard was extraordinary. It was exciting to the very end. We will do better the next time around. For the Mexican team it was a different story. Mexico outplayed the Netherlands for close to 90 minutes giving up the tying goal in the 89th minute and the winning goal in extra time. The winning goal came on a questionable penalty in the box that afforded the Netherlands to take the shot on goal. It was a heartbreaking defeat for the Mexican team and their fans. The game should have gone to overtime with the players deciding the outcome without unwarranted referee interference. Que lastima! THE PUBLIC FORUM ... EL FORO PÚBLICO... Sweetwater Board of Trustees: As a parent and community member I am calling on you today to immediately reverse your decision on Monday June 30, 2014 to approve a 10-20 year lease for new district office space at 860 Harold Place, Chula Vista. I do not believe that an interim board should be making these types of long-term decisions. In addition your public comments lead me to believe that you do not fully understand what you approved. Your comments indicated that your actions were temporary and did not obligate the new board to purchase this property; however, district staff then corrected you to explain that you are obligating the district to use this space as district facilities for at least 10 years. It is clear that the community and public have concerns about this location. However, they have not been afforded an opportunity to voice those concerns and be heard. This action was taken in closed session without a public vetting or input. This does not demonstrate the respectful, collaborative, and transparent actions the community expects. This decision requires a full, public, and collaborative conversation. It should also be the decision of elected board members representative of our community. I am calling on you today to immediately reverse the previous action taken. Thank you, Chris Shilling Chula Vista Migrant Kids, could have been me: As I watch the news regarding the processing of groups of migrant kids from Central America I couldn’t help but notice my resemblance at that age. It dawned on me that could be me given the situation and circumstances that led to this historic human exodus (52,000). Truth be told, we’ve all been there before.. desperation, confusion, misinformed, preyed upon, and abused in one form or another. I asked myself would the response to this be different if these kids were white? Then I realized that we don’t have a say as to what color of skin we are born into or our economic status. As a Christian I feel “all eyes are on us.” Our government intervention and the handling of this matter will be monitored world-wide. Let our spiritual principles reflect this. Consequences are coming soon enough. Let us remember kids are people too! I believe life guarantees a chance, not a fair shake, such as is the case here. Cesar Q. Lopez Chula Vista Obama: Soluciones para una doble crisis Por Maribel Hastings profesionales o quieren servir en las Fuerzas Armadas del único país que conocen; jóvenes que, en muchos casos, sólo hablan inglés. Y mientras la Cámara Baja ha claudicado efectivamente de su responsabilidad de legislar no sólo en inmigración sino en otros asuntos, la reacción de Boehner es anunciar que planifican demandar legalmente al presidente Obama por girar órdenes ejecutivas, como la de DACA, de asuntos que el Congreso no avanza. La crisis de la frontera se recrudece cuando se presionaba a la Cámara Baja de mayoría republicana para presentar y debatir un plan de reforma migratoria amplia. El año pasado, desde el 27 de junio de 2013 cuando el Senado aprobó el proyecto de reforma S. 744, el liderazgo republicano ofreció todo tipo de excusas para justificar la inacción, dejando el reloj correr para evadir el asunto. La presión fue por partida doble porque los grupos pro reforma le solicitaron al presidente que echara mano de su poder ejecutivo para frenar las deportaciones de ciertos inmigrantes, en tanto se concreta la reforma por la vía legislativa. Los republicanos, olvidando las lecciones de 2012 y su pésima relación con los votantes latinos y otras minorías, están centrados totalmente en la elección intermedia de 2014 en la que esperan mantener la mayoría de la Cámara Baja y alcanzarla en el Senado. Siguen apostando al extremismo como estrategia, aunque ello juegue en su contra en la general de 2016. A lo largo de este debate, el instinto de la Casa Blanca ha sido ceder ante las presiones republicanas mostrando mano dura con los inmigrantes, y la estrategia sólo ha solidificado la oposición republicana. Pero la pelota está de nueva cuenta en la cancha de Obama. Parecería impensable pedirle que gire órdenes ejecutivas migratorias en estos momentos, pero el gobierno, como el Congreso, debe estar capacitado para caminar y mascar chicle al mismo tiempo. La crisis de la frontera no debe cancelar los esfuerzos de aliviar la crisis migratoria interna generada por años de dejadez, falta de voluntad y valentía política, y por la tentación de los dos partidos de explotar el tema políticamente en vez de solucionarlo. La crisis de los niños debe tener una solución humanitaria que no tiene por qué incidir en la solución de la crisis migratoria interna. Para los republicanos, ignorando la necesidad de ampliar su base conservadora anglosajona para aumentar sus probabilidades de ganar la Casa Blanca en 2016, la suerte parece estar echada. Pero Obama debe decidir si continúa apaciguando extremistas o si toma decisiones difíciles que además de ayudar a millones de familias y a la economía, pueden salvar su legado y solidificar el apoyo latino a su Partido Demócrata. A ver si lo anunciado hoy resulta en eso. WASHINGTON , DC - Las dos crisis se entrelazan y ambas requieren sus respectivas soluciones. De un lado está la crisis humanitaria de la frontera con miles de niños que cruzan solos y en algunos casos acompañados de sus padres para huir de la violencia del narcotráfico y las pandillas, de la falta de oportunidades, y movidos por la falsa idea promovida por los traficantes de personas de que todos obtendrán permisos para permanecer en Estados Unidos. Por otro lado, están los millones de indocumentados, muchos con más de una década de vivir aquí, con hijos ciudadanos y vidas establecidas que día a día temen convertirse en otra estadística más de las deportaciones. La administración de Barack Obama, la que más inmigrantes ha deportado, está tomando medidas para atender la crisis fronteriza y, de hecho, el presidente solicitó al Congreso 2 mil millones de dólares para afrontar el flujo y “flexibilidad” para agilizar la repatriación de los menores, algo que anuncia polémica a diversos niveles. Varios sectores cuestionan la repatriación expedita de estos menores que deben tener acceso a una revisión justa de sus casos dentro del debido proceso de ley. Y el presidente, días después de que líderes republicanos indicaran que planifican demandarlo por tomar acciones ejecutivas, anunció que hará precisamente eso: tomar acciones ejecutivas para lidiar con el tema migratorio que la Cámara Baja no quiso abordar. Espera que los departamentos de Justicia y Seguridad Nacional le indiquen hasta dónde puede llegar, dentro de su autoridad legal, sin la intervención del Congreso. Mientras, dijo, seguirá presionando por la solución legislativa. La semana pasada se declaró oficialmente la “muerte” de la reforma migratoria por la vía legislativa, aunque para muchos haya muerto hace rato por la renuencia republicana a debatirla. La Casa Blanca asegura que el presidente de la Cámara Baja, John Boehner, ya confirmó que no habrá debate cameral este año y de ahí el anuncio de Obama. Es que la crisis fronteriza, lejos de suscitar un debate sobre soluciones, ha generado demagogia y politiquería barata entre algunos sectores que ven maná caído del cielo en la nueva emergencia. Basta con ver la reacción del presidente del Comité Judicial de la Cámara Baja, Bob Goodlatte, republicano de Virginia, y de su colega republicano de California, Darrell Issa. Su instinto inmediato fue pedir la revocación de la Acción Diferida (DACA) para los jóvenes indocumentados en Estados Unidos, instando su deportación. DACA, concedida en 2012, argumentan, es una de las razones para el alza en el flujo de menores en la frontera sur. Nada como responder a la crisis de los niños migrantes pidiendo la deportación de jóvenes criados en Estados Unidos que no tuvieron ni parte ni suerte en la decisión de sus padres de traerlos Maribel Hastings es asesora ejecutiva de sin documentos, jóvenes que estudian, son America’s Voice Subscribe to La Prensa Sa Sann Diego A well informed person is an aware person!

LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO JULY 3, 2014 Commentary/Opinion Page U.S. Should Show Compassion Toward Children by Randy Jurado Ertll be tortured or murdered or disappeared. U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres earlier this year declared that a majority of the children emigrating from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras deserve protection under international treaties. “We must uphold the human rights of the child,” he said. But rather than offer these children temporary asylum, the Obama administration is locking them up and then sending them packing. Biden was blunt during his Central American visit. “Those who are pondering risking their lives to reach the United States should be aware of what awaits them,” he said. “It will not be open arms. . . . We’re going to send the vast majority of you back.” That is unacceptable. We need to designate most of these children as refugees and treat them with the compassion they deserve. World Refugee Day was on June 20, but President Obama chose not to mention the Central American children who deserve such status. He did acknowledge that “some refugees simply cannot return home because the risk of violence and persecution is too great.” He needs to apply that reasoning to the tens of thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America. Then he needs to change his policy accordingly. Let us not forget our humanity. PAGE 7 Braceros (con’t de página 2) que operó durante el sexenio de Felipe Calderón, fue violada por el nuevo ejecutivo federal, al detener los pagos, y no respetar la oportuna operación del Fideicomiso. En este contexto se inserta la “Marcha Histórica por una Deuda Histórica”, misma que desde que se desarrolla en agosto de 2014 hasta la actualidad, ha promovido significativas acciones de lucha, y ha alcanzado el apoyo de diversos actores socio-políticos en Estados Unidos. En 2013 por ejemplo, en el Consulado de México en Nueva York, y en el de Washington, D.C., se realizó la entrega de documentos dirigidos al presidente de México, Enrique Peña Nieto, y a la Cámara de Diputados, donde los inconformes se manifestaban ante la exclusión de los presupuestos de egresos de 2013 y 2014. También en septiembre de 2013, los integrantes de la Marcha Histórica interpusieron una queja ante la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos de la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA) en Washington, D.C. En el mismo mes, hicieron lo propio en Nueva York, ante la sede central de la Oficina del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU); y por si fuera poco, los organizadores de la Marcha, incluso tuvieron la intención de presentarse personalmente ante el presidente The Obama administration should stop deporting children. Unfortunately, it seems dead set on doing that. On June 20, Vice President Joe Biden met in Guatemala with senior officials from that country, as well as from El Salvador and Honduras. More than 20,000 children from these nations were apprehended on the border last year, twice as many as the year before. This year, the United States is projecting that 90,000 children from these countries will try to cross the border. Biden notified the Central American leaders that the United States would detain and deport the children who are coming here for refuge from the violence they see every day. Gangs in these countries are specifically targeting and recruiting young children. If they choose not to join, then they are often murdered. So children are trying to get to the United States any way they can. The Border Patrol apprehends most of them, and holds them in detention centers. Some have been temporarily released to family members before the immigration service processes them and deports them. The Obama administration has now announced that it is going to stop releasing children to family members. Instead, it plans to build more detention centers and expel children Randy Jurado Ertll is the author of the remore quickly. cent book “Hope in Times of Darkness: A (con’t from page 1) This is not a humane response.

Speakers also focused on the importance of transparency in the redistricting process. “Decision making is happening between map drawers and decision makers behind closed doors without any access to what’s said, to what’s drawn, without any meaningful public input about what’s being considered,” said Tom Saenz, the president of MALDEF.

Still, the appearance of child refugees on the U.S. border is not a uniquely North American issue. “We are seeing a growing number of minors on all routes,” said U.N.

Dichas acciones han resulta importantes, si consideramos que la lucha de los ex braceros, desde que inició en 1998, ha tenido menos promoción en Estados Unidos que en México. Se estima que en este país menos del 15 por ciento de los ex braceros se ha registrado para recibir el pago del apoyo social. Por lo tanto, las movilizaciones como la Marcha Histórica, promueven la participación activa de diversos actores sociales en Estados Unidos, y engrosan las filas de esta movilización integrada mayormente por personas de la tercera edad. En definitiva, esta movilización ha creado grandes expectativas de que se logre justicia para el ex bracero, no obstante, sus verdaderos alcances aún están por verse. Hasta el día de hoy, podría considerarse que el balance es positivo. En primer lugar, por el hecho de haber adherido a miles de ex migrantes inconformes, y prolongar así la protesta de los ex braceros. Además, gracias a sus movilizaciones, han logrado entrevistarse con diversos congresistas de varios estados de Estados Unidos, y ser apoyados por algunos de ellos. Asimismo, han recibido el apoyo de importantes organizaciones sociales de inmigrantes de este país. En suma, no sólo en México los ex braceros son activos manifestantes, sino que en Estados Unidos, el país al que llegaron a trabajar entre 1942 y 1964, sus acciones han prolongado y diversificado su protesta social. Reform and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Saenz adds that the principles provide “an important backdrop” to all kinds of redistricting, not just state-level legislative redistricting. Saenz gives the example of local redistricting in California, where he says that in the last round of redistricting, 9 of the state’s 58 counties, each with its own board of supervisors, “could have drawn a compact Latino majority district where Latino voters would have the opportunity to elect the supervisor of their choice, and they failed to do that.” “In those cases, all of the lines were being drawn by incumbent supervisors who were basically drawing the lines for themselves,” he said. “You have officeholders who for very selfserving reasons denied that there was any racially polarized voting in their county.” “That’s the kind of decision making that’s still happening in California,” he said. Feng echoed his concerns and spoke to the need for continued work on redistricting processes nationwide. “You want your vote to matter and you want the people who you choose to really reflect your issues,” she said. “Whether it was the [candidate] you wanted or not, you want them to listen to you, and that can only happen if … we make sure that the districts that are drawn, and which our elected representatives hail from, represent the communities that we live in.” Invasión los gringos los han sumido durante generaciones, tendría más sentido. Pero no se trata de sentido, ni común ni de ningún otro tipo. De nuevo, esta medida cae dentro del juego electoral en puerta, las elecciones de noviembre. Con su petición, Obama evita la amenaza Republicana de “demandarlo legalmente” si excede sus poderes, emitida cuando dijo que si el partido del elefante no actuaba en inmigración lo haría él solito. Por el otro, mantiene su “dureza” contra los inmigrantes y su estrategia de buscar votos Republicanos en favor de una llamada “Reforma Migratoria Integral”. Además, puede seguir acusando a los Republicanos de “tener la culpa” por la falta de reforma. Y de remate, se puede colgar el santo de que dejó de deportar trabajadores de las fábricas, gente establecida que contribuye a la economía (al revés que los horribles y molestos menores de edad que no hacen nada más que ocasionar dolores de cabeza en la frontera, claro). En resumen, se adorna con todos y no se pelea con nadie. Al final de cuentas, a los niños indocumentados que no han logrado pasar de la frontera no los va a extrañar nadie más que sus papás. A nadie más le importan, y mucho menos a los políticos en campaña. Expulsarlos de aquí adentro sería malo, pero sacarlos desde la misma frontera es “resolver una crisis humanitaria”… ¡ASK A MEXICAN!

EEO/AA/Title IX Employer Registrant Name: Ricardo Millan FOR RENT FOR RENT Hills, the American Defamation League presented his daughter, Laura with a posthumous Courage to Care Award, which was created in 1987 to recognize non-Jews who helped rescue and hide refugees during the Holocaust. History has taught us that omission of such heroes/heroines or accomplishments with Spanish surnames is not uncommon. But you’d think that in America, where such acts are held in high esteem and, specifically, in multicultural cities like Los Angeles, that has more Jews than Jerusalem and a Latino community of Mexican ancestry larger than anywhere, (except Mexico City, of course), and home of the renown Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, you’d think you’d have little trouble finding information on Señor Saldivar. Guess again. Let us recognize Gilberto Bosquez Saldivar as much as the anglo community has acknowledged Oskar Schindler. Treating the Mexican diplomat on an even hero basis would be a great start. Perhaps we may even strive for an ultimate compliment for Saldivar and refer to Mr. Schindler with a new and affectionate nickname - the “German Saldivar!” PAGE 10 JULY 3, 2012 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO Host a patriotic bash with dazzling desserts FAMILY FEATURES I t’s easy to throw a 4th of July party that looks like you worked on it for weeks, even if you just started the planning process.
