PHOENIX – Arizona governor JanBrewer issued an executive order onWednesday (July 15) that will denyundocumented youth access to state-issued identification cards and otherstate benefits. But the order, say le-gal experts, will have consequencesfor other immigrants as well.

The Republican governor issuedher executive order on the very dayimmigrants in Arizona and across thecountry became eligible to apply forthe Deferred Action for ChildhoodArrivals (DACA) program, a federalpolicy that allows work permits anddefers deportation for immigrantswho arrived in the U.S. illegally priorto age 16 and who meet a number ofother criteria.

Brewer’s order, meanwhile, callson state agencies to draft policies thatwould block beneficiaries of DACAfrom accessing state benefits such asdriver’s licenses and identificationcards.

But immigration attorneys predictthat as a result, other immigrants —those who currently hold work per-mits under the Violence AgainstWomen Act (VAWA), and othersfighting deportation proceedings andin possession of a driver’s license —

could also be adversely impacted bythe order.

Brewer, who entered the nationalspotlight after signing SB 1070 andpublicly defending the immigration billall the way to the U.S. Supreme Court,indicated in the order that becausedeferred action does not offer full le-gal status to undocumented immi-grants, Arizona will not confer statebenefits.

DACA, announced by PresidentObama last June, does not guaranteea path to permanent legal status. Butunder DACA, some will become eli-gible to receive a work permit, a docu-ment traditionally used by immigrantsto apply for state-issued identificationcards.

Victoria Lopez, an immigrationattorney at the American Civil Lib-e r t i es Union (ACLU) , sa idBrewer’s order could face legal chal-lenges because her application of thelaw is incorrect and confusing.

“This is a clear example of howdifficult it is to understand the com-plexities of immigration law, and itsterminology,” explained Lopez.

While DACA beneficiaries are notconsidered to have “lawful or autho-rized status” – such status would openthe door for them to qualify for agreen card — the government is say-ing they now have “authorized pres-

ence” under DACA, which meansthey have permission to stay in thecountry legally, she said.

Arizona law currently uses theterms “authorized presence” and“lawful status” interchangeably,added Lopez, even though they tech-nically have different meanings un-der federal law.

As a result, and whether it wasBrewer’s intention or not, said immi-gration attorney Ezequiel Hernández,state employees at the Motor VehicleDivision (MVD) may well end updenying license applications to immi-grants o ther than those thegovernor’s order is intending totarget, due to confusion over the

language used in Brewer’s order.“There’s a… lack of sophistication intha t execu t ive o rder,” sa idHernández.

José Peñalosa, also an immigrationattorney, agreed that the governor’sorder could affect many immigrantsother than just Dreamers – immi-grants who came to the country aschildren. One such group is immi-grants in possession of a work per-mit who have a deportation proceed-ing pending; a group that currently hasa right to apply for a state issued ID.

Peñalosa, however, said thatBrewer’s order could result in new

Stop, Frisk andDemolish inCiudad JuarezBy Kent PatersonFRONTERA NORTESUR

A friend and I had lunch in CiudadJuarez last week. For a few buckseach, we savored different versionsof sumptuous fish soup. Tasty and fla-vorful, the soup was as good —andmuch cheaper— than the same foodsold in Mexican beach resorts. Feel-ing fine, we paid the bill and headedout the door of the restaurant with apair of satisfied stomachs.

Then we got a taste of the realitythat many of the residents of thetroubled border city experience on aroutine basis.

Strolling down Avenida Juarez, themain drag of the battered downtowntourist district, we were motionedaside by a group of three men whowere wearing municipal police uni-forms. Without any explanation, oneof the officers demanded to searchus.

Since the Mexican Constitutionguarantees freedom of transit, and be-cause the officer had not stated areason for the requested search, I feltthe order was out of line. But study-ing the looks of this particular trio ofCiudad Juarez’s finest, I judged it bestnot to challenge their command at themoment. So it was, “Up against thewall, mother..!!!”

One cop did the talking and search-ing while the others stood guard. Theactive one asked what we were do-ing in his city, and gave a blank lookwhen we responded that I was a jour-nalist and my friend an academic fromthe U.S.

In short order, we proceededthrough the meticulous backpacksearch, the pat down, the pocketsemptied on the ground, the fingersfondling the money in our wallets.Personal belongings were strewn onthe ground. At one point, the main copappeared excited, like he had strucka vein of gold, when he pulled a rolledup sock from my backpack andasked, “Ohhh..what’s this?” Then heseemed let down when he realized itwas just a roll of coin pesos.

Luckily nothing was taken, but ifthe search had happened when it wasdark, who the heck knows what couldhave happened?

If the officers had names on theiruniforms our eyes missed them, forwe were carefully focused on thelead cop’s inspection of our money.Unable to find drugs, syringes, explo-sives, firearms, bullets, or any otherpiece of contraband, the police squadlet us go on our merry way. As wewere departing the scene, the trio ofofficers stopped a few men passingby, seemingly Mexican nationals, andbegan questioning them.

Later in the evening in an El Pasotaqueria, a worker and her daughtertold me they were not the least bitsurprised by my experience. Slappingtogether tacos across the counter, oneof the cooks nodded that he too hadexperienced a recent run-in with theCiudad Juarez police.

On the same day we were stoppedand searched, Ciudad Juarez PoliceChief Julian Leyzaola attended a lawenforcement conference in neighbor-ing El Paso. In a report on the eventthe following day, El Diario de El Pasoquoted Leyzaola as telling the crowdof police professionals that El Pasoanscould now peacefully visit CiudadJuarez and safely enjoy the restau-rants, night clubs and other publicattractions of the city.

Really? Without being stopped andfrisked?

Still uneasy about last week’s in-cident, I called Lic. Adolfo Castro,head of the official Chihuahua StateHuman Rights Commission (CEDH)office in Ciudad Juarez. Castro toldme that as preventive law enforcers,the city police have the right to stopand search people on the street.“People that look suspicious can bestopped, any person that looks suspi-

PERSPECTIVE

By Veronica SalasCOUNCIL ON HEMISPHERIC AFFAIRS

GOP presidential hopeful MittRomney has amassed a collection ofheadlines impugning his foreign policycredentials since his speech at theVeterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)convention and overseas trip. Thispublicity he has received all too char-acteristically crops Latin Americafrom forecasts about what a Rom-ney White House would mean forhemispheric policy issues. Still, as hissparse commentary on the regionsuggests, Latin America would notonly remain out of frame, but out offocus should Romney secure thepresidency.

In his lone reference to the regionduring the VFW address, Romneyfocused exclusively on ties betweenVenezuelan President Hugo Chavezand Hezbollah. Such emphasis on ter-rorism in Latin America allowed Rom-

ney to incorporate the region into hisbroad global narrative: the world is“dangerous, destructive, chaotic” andit is America’s moral duty – no, its“destiny” – to safeguard freedom forall humanity. Though the escalatinglink between the South Americancocaine trade and Middle Easternterrorists marks a valid security con-cern, Romney has neglected theregion’s geopolitical importance withthose lean remarks.

Far worse, his foreign policy dem-onstrates a lack of regard for LatinAmerica’s current political and eco-nomic context. The sharp languageMr. Romney has employed in paint-ing the 21st century as an “Ameri-can century” will likely alienate largesegments of Latin America’s politi-cal elite. In particular, he has en-trenched the United States as an ideo-logical adversary to the BolivarianAlliance (ALBA), a cooperative thataims to provide an economic alterna-tive to market liberalization based onsocial welfare and mutual advantage.Drawing from Simon Bolivar’s con-

tributions to the colonial liberation ofLatin America, the movement alsohas prompted calls from ALBA mem-ber states–Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia,Ecuador, and Nicaragua–to confrontU.S. imperialism as well as disbandthe Inter-American Council on Hu-man Rights (IACHR).

By stressing the inherent superi-ority of the United States in hisspeeches, Romney has fed the dis-taste for domineering foreign influ-ences in Latin America. His imageryonly strokes discord, as it situates theUnited States on the moral highground bearing the “eternal torch ofdecency,” a “lantern of liberty,” whilethe rest of the world presumablystoops in boorish decay. It implies thatthe United States must uplift othernations so all can experience the gran-deur of American society. Such vi-sions for an American century castthe United States as an oppositionalfigure to any nation that disputes theidea that “[the United States leads]the free world and the free worldleads the entire world.”

To be fair, President Obamashares the conviction that home-grown American values and institu-tions confer this country with an el-evated global posture. Unlike Obama,however, the anticipated Republicannominee couches his views on Ameri-can exceptionalism in paternalisticmetaphors and prideful diction. His“unapologetic” tone emerged at theVFW convention as well as in hiswhite paper on foreign policy. He hasdismissed any notions of “America asa potentially malign force” and lam-basted Obama for expressing regretabout perceived abuses of U.S. au-thority, such as its interference in othercountries’ internal affairs, torture ofdetainees, stagnation on global warm-ing, and record of only selectively pro-moting democracy. In fact, he de-fends those actions as necessary tokeep the world safe.

That outlook contorts reality,though, glazing over entire episodesin American history. Contrary to what

If the Caravan for Peaceand Justice with Dignity nowcrossing the U.S. had to pick acity where all the issues it israising come together, perhapsno place would be better thanAlbuquerque, New Mexico.

A crossroads of cultures,conflict and commerce of allkinds, the Duke City is tra-versed by interstates and rail-ways that move people andgoods in all directions. Creep-ing toward a million people inthe metro area, it is a place thatgrapples with high rates of drugabuse, gang and drug-relatedviolence, governmental corrup-tion and impunity in the justicesystem.

New Mexico’s largest cityalso hosts a large population ofimmigrants living in the shad-ows. So when the Mexicantravelers led by poet JavierSicilia arrived in the Duke Cityfor a visit and public event onAugust 17-18, they were tread-ing on familiar turf.

In helping to welcome theCaravan to the grounds of theHoly Family Church in thesemi-rural South Valley, vet-eran community activist andpoet Jaime Chavez remindedlisteners that the site was his-torically part of the Atrisco landgrant, founded in Spanish co-lonial times but part of an in-digenous heritage. Centurieslater, Chavez said, heroin ad-diction, violence and disappear-ances like the 11 women laterfound murdered and secretlyburied together on Albu-querque’s West Mesa in 2009,form part of the contemporary,local reality.

“We have to clean ouracequias (irrigation ditches)and our society,” Chavezurged. “Welcome to Atrisco,the place of the water.”

Briefly addressing thecrowd of supporters, Move-ment for Peace and Justicewith Dignity leader JavierSicilia told how his son JuanFrancisco and six of his friends,all murdered in Morelos,

Mexico, one evening in 2011,were upstanding young menwho did not drink or smoke.

Budding athletes, entrepre-neurs and professionals whowere “beginning to contributeto the country,” they then fellvictims to President FelipeCalderon’s war, which un-leashed criminal violence,Sicilia charged.

The prominent Mexican ac-tivist reiterated his stance thatmassive U.S. drug consump-tion and robust arms exports,which include smuggled con-traband as well as the legalshipments that go the Mexicangovernment as part of the anti-drug Merida Initiative, fuel theviolence south of the border.

“The other part of the prob-lem is here in the U.S. It’s youraddicts who have fanned thiswar,” Sicilia contended. “Weask U.S. citizens to accept re-sponsibility for this war.”

On its historic journey, theCaravan is promoting a moreinclusive, binational dialogue onissues of mutual concern. Call-ing for an end to drug war mili-tarization, the Caravan is alsodemanding curbs on arms traf-ficking, combating money laun-dering, stopping the crimin-alization of immigrants and re-visiting drug prohibition laws.

In Mexico plenty of peoplewho were consumed in thecataclysm of drugs, crime andviolence are missed. Comingto Albuquerque, the Caravanbrought two busloads of vic-tims’ relatives to share theirpersonal stories and pain withlocals, some of whom also hadtheir own horrors and traumasto convey.

Strung across Holy Family’sband shell, a large banner withthe pictures of four womendemanded “Return My Fam-ily to Me.” The graphic mes-sage was put up by CarlosCastro, a civil engineer fromXalapa, Veracruz, who toldFNS that the women were hiswife, two daughters and a do-mestic helper. All four werewhisked away by armed menwho stormed the home in 2011.No ransom demand was ever

made, the professional said. “Ihave no idea who it could havebeen, and the police have noleads until now,” Castro in-sisted.

The mass kidnapping caseis now in the hands of the fed-eral government’s elite SIEDOanti-organized crime squad,Castro said, adding that hehoped his participation in theCaravan might lead to informa-tion on his family members’whereabouts, especially if theyare on this side of the border.

Spilling tears, two womenfrom Monterrey, Nuevo Leon,sat down with FNS to tell thestories of their daughters, 24-year-old Judith Ceja Aguirreand 26-year-old Coral PerezTriana, who vanished togetherwith four other young womenin July 2011 while apparentlydriving in Judith’s truck fromReynosa, Tamaulipas, toMonterrey. All the women ex-cept one left behind small chil-dren.

“We are all desperate,”Judith’s mom said. “It changedour lives.”

Retracing the women’s trip,Coral’s mother, Rosa ElenaPerez Triana, said the group ofsix friends traveled to Reynosafor a weekend outing in a disco.Perez said her daughter calledhome at approximately 11 a.m.on a Sunday morning to saythat she was headed back toMonterrey. According toPerez, it was the last time sheheard from her daughter.

The mother later filed a pairof missing person’s complaints,in her hometown of Monterreyand in Reynosa, but more thanone year later there is no infor-mation on the fate of Coral orthe five other young women.After assuming that a cameraat a government highway boothmight have captured the timeof the passage of Judith’s truck,Perez was later told by statepolice that the device was in-operative. She said she sus-pected the young women mighthave been abducted for prosti-tution purposes.

Back in Monterrey, Perezcares for Coral’s two young

children, a 9-year-old girl anda 20-month-old boy. The ordealhas sorely tested Perez’sphysical and psychologicalhealth, she said, but the twochildren and a faith in God keepher going day-to-day.

“It’s like they take a pieceof you,” is how Perez de-scribed her feelings.

According to the strugglinggrandmother, life in Mexico’sthird biggest city has seriouslydeteriorated since 2009, withshoot-outs audible on a dailybasis and extortions and shake-downs common practices bycriminals pressured to replaceformer drug income clipped bygovernment operations. Mur-der victims, whether hanged inpublic or stuffed in barrels, ap-pear all the time, Perez added.“It is out of control,” she as-serted.

Now an activist, Perez saidthe Caravan has an importantmessage to send the U.S.people, President Obama andPresident Calderon.

“We have to do somethingbecause this is a cancer that’ssubmerging everyone” shesaid. “Mexicans, New Mexi-cans, Central Americans.”

At the Holy Family parish,numerous photos and names ofmissing or murdered persons-men and women from acrossMexico greeted onlookers. Awoman paraded around thegrounds with a portrait of herson, Jose Luis Arana, disap-peared in Guadalajara in 2011.

On hand was a group ofcreative activists, Embroider-ies for Peace, who are patientlycompiling the stories of the60,000-plus murder victimssince 2006.

Based on information con-tained in press clippings, theactivists embroider victims’ sto-ries on handkerchiefs that willeventually be exhibited in amass display somewhere inMexico, possibly the Zocalo, orhistoric downtown plaza, inMexico City.

Some of the embroideredstories were shown in Albu-querque:

“Felipe Pantela Miguel,

Oaxaca. Leader of CitizensDefense Committee beaten todeath.”

“Raul Robles, leader of Citi-zens Front against Corruptionin Rio Verde, San Luis Potosi,Beaten to death by municipalpolice on January 21, 2010.”

Or simply: “A man wasfound dead inside his bedroomwith various bullet wounds onhis body. Ciudad Juarez, Janu-ary 22, 2010.

Fatima Montserrat Lopez,embroidery activist, said theproject’s objective was to takethe time to necessary to hu-manize victims who werepeople and not numbers.

“If we’re taking time to re-view each case, so should thegovernment,” Lopez said. Theembroidery movement is an-other example how the Mexi-can diaspora is becoming in-creasingly politicized in thebroadest sense of the term.Nina Lluhi, embroidery activ-ist, said people from Japan toEurope are now pitching in tohelp document victims’ storiesfor the public.

As if to underscore the ur-gency of the Caravan’s mes-sage, the past weekend was anespecially bloody one in Mexi-co. The initial press dispatchesreported dozens of gangland-style murders, including at least15 killings in multiple incidentsin Acapulco alone.

The Albuquerque visit wasthe Caravan’s seventh stop-over on a long journey thatkicked off in Tijuana August 11and will culminate September10-12 in Washington, D.C. Af-ter an August 20 departurefrom Santa Fe, New Mexico,the Caravan will head to ElPaso before plunging intoTexas’s Lower Rio GrandeValley and onward to other cit-ies

Cuando le pregunté a lassoñadoras qué opinabanacerca de la orden estatalejecutiva de la gobernadorade Arizona, Jan Brewer, deprohibir la expedición delicencias de conducir a losestudiantes indocumentadosque sean aprobados por laacción diferida, la respuestarepetida fue la misma: “esuna bruja... es una bruja... esuna bruja”.

A las chicas que consulténo les afectaba la medida deBrewer, habían participadoen una sesión informativasobre la iniciativa de laAdministración del presidenteBarack Obama que impide sudeportación, en la CoaliciónLatinoamericana de Char-lotte, Carolina del Norte, ados mil millas de Arizona.

No obstante, su solidaridadcon sus colegas arizonianasera absoluta y su indignaciónbrotaba a flor de piel porqueel anuncio de Brewer se dioel mismo miércoles 15 deagosto, en el que millares de“dreamers” iniciaron sustrámites para salir de lassombras.

Por pura curiosidad mepuse a consultar en lainternet si el sobrenombre de“Bruja” para Brewer existíay me encontré con millaresde entradas en las que losinternautas se refieren coneste apelativo para lagobernadora antiinmigrante.

Encontré menciones através de Facebook, de Twit-ter, e incluso composicionesmusicales y audiovisuales alrespecto.

Uno de los videos musi-cales, llamado “La Brujer,canción de la gobernadora yel arpío (Arpaio)”, contiene lavoz del intérprete Yayo deNogales.

Otro que interpreta elmismo tema es el cantanteSantiago Silva, en unaentrada en YouTube, quetitula “La Bruja Brewer”.

Por supuesto, que elcontenido audiovisual y lasletras son irrespetuosas conla funcionaria de más rangode Arizona y con el alguacilde Maricopa, el más duro deloeste, pero al fin y al cabo,las canciones y los videos sonmás inofensivos, que lasacciones de Brewer y JoeArpaio.

By Marisa TreviñoLATINALISTA

The 2012-2013 school yearis barely underway and twoseparate and disturbing analy-ses of the nation’s public edu-cation system released todayunderscore that the continuingchallenge facing students ofcolor in their quest for aca-demic success lies outside stu-dent control.

For the first time, data isavailable showing what schoolsare spending on students and onteacher salaries. Two areasthat not only impact educationaloutcomes for students on cam-pus but can distort the true stateof a school’s effectiveness inproviding the necessary servicesto their students.

Almost 40 percent of Latinoand black children attendschools where more than 90percent of students are non-white. In other words, publicschools still remain segregated.This segregation is reflected inthe title of the new report Un-equal Education: Federal Loop-hole Enables Lower Spendingon Students of Color, (http://www.americanprogress.org/is-sues/education/report/2012/08/22/29002/unequal-education/)published by the Center forAmerican Progress.

The report’s author discov-ered some unsettling facts thathelp explain why schoolswhose student bodies are com-prised mainly with students ofcolor fare so much worse thanwhite-dominant schools in thesame district:

Schools with 90 percent ormore students of color spenda full $733 less per student peryear than schools with 90 per-cent or more white students.What does that add up to? Onaverage, the high-minorityschools have 605 students.This average school would seean annual increase of $443,000in state and local spending if itwere brought up to the sameper-pupil spending level asthose schools with very fewnonwhite students. This isenough to pay the average sal-ary for 12 additional first-yearteachers or nine veteran teach-ers.

Having more teachers oncampus would relieve over-crowded classrooms, moreopportunity for students to getone-on-one attention fromteachers and create a moreconducive environment forlearning. If more money wasspent on students of color, itwould allow for not only up-grading the maintenance ofthese schools servicing a pre-dominantly student-of-colorpopulation but enable moretextbooks to be bought, moretechnology to be used and trulyhelp level the playing field be-tween schools and school dis-tricts in creating a more equi-table educational experiencefor all students of any districtor state.

Yet, as the second report re-leased shows, unless educatorsare given the proper resourcesto help students-of-color aca-demically achieve, they will al-ways be behind.

The ACT released the re-port, Condition of College &Career Readiness 2012 (http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2012/index.html) andhighlighted a disturbing find: 60percent of 2012 high schoolgraduates are at risk of notsucceeding in college or beingready for their careers.

And who are the 60 percent?College readiness levels re-

main particularly low amongAfrican American and His-panic students. None of thefour ACT College ReadinessBenchmarks were met bymore than half of students inthose racial/ethnic groups.

Both the ACT and Centerfor American Progress reportsare in direct contrast to whatis known about the aspirationsof Latino students — theywant to succeed in school andthey want to go to college. Arecent Pew report detailedhow Latinos are now the larg-est minority group on thenation’s college campuses.

From the two reports fea-tured in this post, we know thatthe students who are startingcollege this school yearworked against the odds to getwhere they are. Unfortunately,given the ACT report, theirstruggle to stay in college isonly just beginning and will boildown to a simple case of ganas— how much they want aneducation because so far thesystem has done everything inits power to discourage them.

Reprinted from Latina Listahttp://latinalista.com/

Two separate reports reveal the odds stacked againstLatino students achieving academic success

state policies that would, inpractice, deny ID applicationsto this particular group. “I thinkthey’re going to equally apply[Brewer’s executive order]across the board,” he said.

Peñalosa in te rpre tedBrewer’s order as “politicalrevenge” against the Obamaadministration for its oppositionof SB 1070. Key portions ofthat state law, among them onethat made it a state crime tobe an undocumented immi-grant, were recently ruledunconstitutional by the U.S.Supreme Court, while the so-called “papers, please” portionwas upheld.

Brewer’s executive ordercame down like a bucket ofcold water for many undocu-mented youth, such as DanielaCruz, who nevertheless stillplans to apply for DACA.

“At the end of the day westill come out winning, becausewe will have a work permitand they can’t deport us,” saidCruz. “This is going to forceus to unite and fight, evenmore.”

Carmen Cornejo, executivedirector of Cadena, a Phoenix-based group that advocates forthe Dream Act – federal leg-islation that could open a pathto citizenship for kids like Cruz— said the governor’s actionsare fundamentally unfair.

“We are disappointed that thegovernor prefers the broken sta-tus quo,” said Cornejo. “She isclosing the door of opportunityto people that are not responsible

for being here illegally.”“This is yet another reason

why Arizona has no businesstrying to regulate immigrationmatters,” said AlessandraSoler, executive director of theACLU of Arizona. “Brewer isdistorting federal law and in-accurately interpreting statelaw… Not only is she singlingout young people who are eli-gible for deferred action, butshe also is excluding other cat-egories of non-citizens who areauthorized to be in the country,including victims of domesticviolence, from obtaining state-identification while their immi-gration applications are beingprocessed.”

Still unclear is how Brew-er’s executive order will affectundocumented immigrants inArizona who are trying toaccess affordable highereducation at state institu-tions. Currently, Arizona lawrequires undocumented im-migrants to pay out of statetuition, regardless of whenthey arrived or how long theyhave been living in the state.

Musaffar Chrishti, immigra-tion attorney and director of theMigration Policy Institute Of-fice at NYU School of Law,doesn’t see a viable legal chal-lenge to Brewer’s executiveorder, since states have author-ity to decide to whom and howthey grant state benefits suchas a driver’s licenses. And heexpects others states will fol-low suit.

“This is unprecedented,”said Chrishti. “This is not thelast that we’ll hear of this. Thisis the beginning of a war be-tween proponents of [DACA]and those that would do any-thing to undermine it and don’tbelieve the administration hasthe authority to [enforce] it.”

Fiction Based on FactualChisme:By Augie Bareño

During the 1940s and 50s,the only thing that East San Di-ego shared in common withShelltown was that they bothwere defined by Chollas Creek.The Creek ran east to west fromEast San Diego through theSoutheast San Diego neighbor-hoods of Valencia Park, South-crest and Shelltown, at whichpoint, it would cross the 38th andZ Street bridge and thread itway, to Wabash, then emptyinto the San Diego Bay.

In the East San Diego por-tion of Chollas Creek, it wasmaintained by the City of SanDiego, as a Flood ControlChannel and bulwark for main-taining property values. Thegood part of Chollas Creekwould end about Euclid Street,which coincidentally, markedthe point where the neighbor-hoods, started to be a bit more“working class” and the fur-ther west you traveled in thecreek, the closer it reflected itsnatural state.

By the time, it reachedOceanview, Southcrest andShelltown, it looked like ajungle, in a Tarzan movie. Itwas pitch black, with Bamboos10ft high, growing wild andwith a series of footpaths cutout of the bamboos. The path-ways were made into hideoutsand Jump you points, where noone would hear or see a thing,until it was too late. Old TenHigh bottles, Falstaff andLucky Lager beer cans, Tokaywine and nasty magazines, un-derwear and old clothes wouldusually mark the spot, of theoutdoor latrine, in the creek.

Neighborhood Chisme, hasit, that at the 38th and Z Streetbridge part of the creek, therehave been three deaths, one anoverdose of a neighborhood kidnamed Nando De La Rey,who came back from Koreaand could never kick the horse.

The second was an AWOLsailor from the 32nd Street Na-val Base, As a Buckman froma little town in Arkansas calledBig Fork, who had gotten aPilipino gal at the MabuhayCafé, pregnant and was afraidto take her home to Arkansas.He was planning to skip town,when, her family found out,they didn’t take too kindly to itand he was found in the creekstabbed to death with a “CaviteAttention Getter”. There werenever any arrest and the casedied.

The third one and the mostmysterious involved an olddrunk called “Howard TwoGuns Morales,” who was dis-covered dead sitting in an oldwicker chair, in the creek, look-ing like he had been scared todeath, with his mouth and eyesopened, as if he had seensomething so frightening, itkilled him.

What made it very strangewas the coroner said his body

had no traces of alcohol and atattoo with the words “Ana-darko” was no longer visibleon his forearm.

Howard “Two Gun “Mo-rales was a Creek Indian fromAnadarko, Oklahoma, whojoined the Marines in WorldWar II and never went backhome. He stayed in San Diegoto be with his buddy Fernando“Hobo Joe” Avilando, who hadsaved his life, during the war,on more than one occasion.Life, alcohol, and schizophre-nia had not been kind to eitherone of them and by the time ofhis death, Two Gun and HoboJoe were living on the Wabashside of the Chollas Creek.They had been there since rightafter Korea, having been runout of a rooming house, rightbehind Bohemian Bakery onMarket Street, for drinking andstarting the communal bath-room on fire.

The Wabash side of theChollas Creek, where Two GunMorales, Hobo Joe, ShortyPushamump and the otherwinos lived, was very spookylooking, with the giant bamboostrees that had been darkenedfrom the exhaust of the NavyShips. In the middle of theirBamboo shacks, sat a sewagepond, which was the run offfrom the Navy, it had the nasti-est smell and gave off a greycloud.

The place was called Zom-bie-land, because at night, theWinos would march in a zom-bie parade, up and down Na-tional Avenue, in the directionof either Woody’s Liquor onthe east or Base Liquor to theWest, to get their nightly snortof Tokay or Petrie Wine. Hap-pily they would march rightback to Zombieland, to enjoytheir Hooch. It didn’t matterthat people would yell insultsor throw things at them, theywould endure anything causethey really didn’t care aboutanything, but their wine.

Hobo Joe and Two GunsMorales had gotten used to allthe neighborhood kids bother-ing them. The little kids wouldbe afraid of them and theywould run the other way. Theolder ones, especially the teen-agers made it a game to ha-rass, Hobo Joe, they would finda phony reason, to start argu-ment with him, then get himmad and because of his schizo-phrenia and alcoholism, hewould get violent, at the dropof the hat and attack them,they would of course, out num-ber him.

They would use this reasonto sucker punch him, and thenthey would run, he would chasethem, half of the kids woulddouble back and knock overeverything in his Bambooshack, just to piss him off fur-ther.

Since the death of his buddyTwo Guns Morales, Hobo Joefelt very alone and troubled.The voices in his head keptrepeating, what he had been

told by Two Guns, many yearsearlier, that the spirits avengethe wrongs we do to others andthey show you, by taking thingsfrom your body, as a sign ofaccounting.

That would, Hobo Joe rea-soned, with the voices explain,why Two Guns Morales wasfound without his AnadarkoTattoo on his forearm.

In what would be a greatspiritual accounting, the teen-agers who harassed Hobo Joethe most and were the mean-est, Lorenzo, Nando and Pataswere walking home fromSouthcrest Park, very late atnight. It was an extremelyfoggy night, where you couldonly see, inches in front of you.

They took the path of thecreek, on the Acacia Streetside, which had a little bit ofindirect light from the houses.

At about a hundred feetfrom the 38th and Z streetbridge, part of Chollas Creek,where all the evil things hadhappened, there is a path, thatcrosses from the Acacia sideto the Z street side and leadsto a part of the bridge, that islighted by St Jude church andit takes you on to Z street andmore lighting.

In the fog they miscalcu-lated and walked directly towhere Two Gun Morales haddied of fright and all the otherevil things. Just as they real-ized, where they were, theypanicked and started scream-ing and crying, they try tohuddle together, but theycouldn’t move. Just then, a gi-ant figure with a torso of Bam-boos and a tiny face and armsthat looked like long Boloknives, came out of the Fog.The figure came towards themin an aggressive manner, intheir panic, they take off run-ning, the figure stays withthem, the more they try to run,the bigger the figure seems toget, finally after running forwhat seemed like forever, theydrop to the ground, they canno longer resist, they expectthe figure to kill them. They allclose their eyes and wait death.

An hour later, they wake upat the door step of St Judeschurch, not knowing what hap-pened or how they got there,but what they do know is thatthey need to change their lives.In the accounting of spirits,what was taken from Lorenzo,Nando and Patas, was theirInnocence and they never both-ered Hobo Joe again.

About a year later, HoboJoe heard the voices in his head,one last time, he was neverseen again.

End of the Mural Restoration ProjectCelebration

SACRAMENTO – A pair ofEnglish Learner reform billsauthored by Senator AlexPadilla (D-Pacoima) are ontheir way to the desk of Gov-ernor Brown. SB 1108 wouldreform the English Learnersreclassification system byidentifying and implementinguniform statewide best prac-tices. SB 754 would requireschool districts to post onlinethe Economic Impact Aid theyreceive for each school anddistrict. Economic Impact Aidis $1 billion in supplementalfunds provided by the state toschool districts to meet theneeds of English Learners andlow-income students.

“Despite our public schoolsreceiving one billion dollarsin supplemental funds tomeet the needs of EnglishLearners, only 11 percent ofEnglish Learners achievefluency each year and somestudents become so-called‘Long Term English Learn-ers’ and never achieve flu-ency. This is unacceptable.Academic success and careerand college readiness hingeon English proficiency. Weneed to apply best practicesstatewide and do a far bet-ter job of helping studentsachieve fluency,” said Sena-tor Alex Padilla.

Referring to SB 754, ontransparency for EconomicImpact Aid, Padilla stated, “Itis vital that parents and thepublic know how their fundsare being used to help edu-cate English Learners. Re-quiring school districts topublicly post this informationonline will provide transpar-ency and greater account-ability,” said Senator AlexPadilla.

Specifically, SB 1108 re-quires that by January 1, 2014the California Department ofEducation (CDE) review andanalyze the criteria, policies,and practices that local schooldistricts use to deem EnglishLearner students proficientand reclassify them into main-stream classes. In addition, itcalls on the CDE to recom-mend to the Legislature andthe State Board of Educationany guideline, regulation orstatutory changes necessary toimprove the English Learnerreclassification system.

SB 754 would requireschool districts to post onlineand in an easily accessible lo-cation the economic impact aidbudget for the school districtand each school within theschool district. This bill wouldalso require the CDE to deter-mine whether each school dis-

trict receiving economic impactaid funds is using proven meth-ods of teaching English Learn-ers.

One and one-half millionCalifornia students are EnglishLearners and more than 85percent of English Learnersare Latino and live in poverty.

“English proficiencyopens doors of opportunityand directly impacts the eco-nomic sustainability of ourstate,” said Senator Padilla.“English Learner studentsare a quarter of our futureworkforce. We must do ev-erything we can to ensuretheir academic success,”Padilla added.Annually,

• only 11 percent of EnglishLearners reach English profi-ciency,

• only 56 percent of EnglishLearners graduate from highschool,

• only 13 percent of EnglishLearners go to college.

As Chair of the Select Com-mittee on English Learners,Senator Padilla has held a se-ries of policy hearings this yearfocused on how to improve theEnglish Learner system withinthe context of GovernorBrown’s proposal to changethe k-12 funding formula to a“weighted” student formula.

La más reciente medidade la gobernadora parecesalida de otra dimensión. Enun acto de rebeldía se niega aacatar algo que es obvio: Si elgobierno federal, que es elque de acuerdo con la CorteSuprema, el que maneja eltema migratorio, da unestatus temporal a un grupoen particular, por una acciónadministrativa, los estadostendrían que aceptar lavoluntad del ejecutivo.

Múltiples accionesadministrativas del ejecutivohan sido emitidas engobiernos republicanos ydemócratas previamente sinque los gobernadoresrezonguen.

Los sectores intoleranteshan querido mostrar aObama como un dictador porhaber avalado alDepartamento de SeguridadNacional para que protegieraa los “dreamers”, lo cual esabsurdo.

Obama no le ha hechotrampa al Congreso, solo haactuado dentro del marcoconstitucional que lo facultapara tomar una acciónejecutiva temporal.

Si el presidente tiene laautoridad para eliminar

terroristas sin pedirle permisoal congreso porque no tendríala autoridad para parar ladeportación de jóvenes quese han educado aquí.

Entre lo malo que tieneBrewer es que da malejemplo, y ya el gobernadorde Nebraska, DaveHeineman, la imitó en negarlos permisos de manejar a lossoñadores.

Lo más probable es que elasunto se dirima en las cortesy triunfe la razón contra elegoísmo y la mezquindad.

En Carolina del Norte, losáulicos de Brewer estánhaciendo un llamado para quelos funcionarios oficiales

desconozcan la accióndiferida del presidente yrealicen actos de rebeldía.

La organizaciónAmericanos por laInmigración Legal(ALIPAC), que dirige elactivista antiinmigranteWilliam Gheen, ha pedido que“todos los empleadosfederales repudien lasdirectivas inconstitucionalesde Obama de proveer laamnistía del Acta del Sueño alos inmigrantes ilegales”.

No me extrañaría quealgún cantor popular lecomponga a Gheen unatonada en la que lo presentecomo “el bufón”.

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRALEl Soporte Informativo Para Millones

de HispanosPor Luisa Fernanda Montero

Luisa Fernanda Montero

El debate en torno a laAcción Diferida para losJóvenes Llegados en la In-fancia ha tomado diferentesrumbos. Es lógico que asíocurra en momentos en que lacosa política está que arde,republicanos y demócratasbuscan sus votos a las puertasde las elecciones presiden-ciales y la comunidad hispanasigue esperando respuestas.

Yo lo que sé, porque lo hevisto, es que aunque no es unasolución definitiva, la AcciónDiferida para los Llegados enla Infancia – DACA – le dauna esperanza a millones dejóvenes que hasta hace muypocos días no tenían ninguna.

Es un comienzo, o como lodice Daniel Pacheco, un joveninmigrante colombiano bene-ficiado con la medida, unprimer paso en la direccióncorrecta.

Por eso es fundamental queno desaprovechemos la opor-tunidad. Como comunidaddebemos ir de la mano denuestros jóvenes y acompa-ñarlos paso a paso en elproceso que deben seguir paraobtener los beneficios de laacción diferida.

Es bien sabido que en asun-tos de inmigración cualquierimprecisión puede tener conse-cuencias nefastas. El Departa-mento de Seguridad Nacionalha dejado muy claro queejercerá su discreción procesalpara asegurar que sus recursoslegales no serán utilizados encasos de escasa prioridad,como lo son aquellos rela-cionados con individuos que

fueron traídos a Estados Uni-dos siendo menores y quecumplen con ciertos criterios.

Es el Departamento el quedecide quien es prioritario yquien no. Por eso a la hora dediligenciar los formularios – I-821D, I-765 e I-765WS – espreciso asegurarnos de que noexistan imprecisiones, erroreso evasiones. Un descuidopuede implicar que se nieguela acción diferida, con elagravante de que no existeposibilidad de apelación.

El Servicio de Ciudadanía eInmigración de Estados Unidos– USCIS – no revisará susdeterminaciones discreciona-les, a no ser que se pruebe unerror administrativo de suparte. Es mejor evitar quetener que lamentar.

Recuerde que son consi-deradas para la acción diferidaaquellas personas que teníanmenos de 31 años el 15 de juniode 2012, habían residido con-tinuamente en los EstadosUnidos por un período mínimode cinco años antes del 15 dejunio de 2012, estaban física-mente en el país a esa fecha yestuvieron presentes el 15 dejunio de 2012 así como almomento de solicitar la accióndiferida ante USCIS.

Los solicitantes deben ade-más haber entrado sin inspe-cción antes del 15 de junio de2012 o demostrar que su estatuslegal de inmigración expiró paraesa fecha, estar asistiendo a laescuela, haberse graduado dela escuela superior, poseer unCertificado de Educación Gen-eral - GED - o haber servido

honorablemente en la GuardiaCostera o en las Fuerzas Ar-madas de los Estados Unidos.

No es vano recalcar quequienes pretendan benefi-ciarse de este recurso nopueden haber sido encontradosculpables de ningún tipo dedelito o representar una ame-naza a la seguridad nacional opública.

Por último, desconfié. Nosea blanco fácil de estafadoreso delincuentes. No le crea anadie que asegure ser capazde acelerar su proceso des-pués de recibir el pago decualquier cantidad de dinero.No existe ningún procesa-miento acelerado para laacción diferida.

Confíe en las fuentes ofi-ciales como USCIS o el De-partamento de Seguridad Na-cional. Acuda a los centroscomunitarios de su área en losque cree o busque ayudaprofesional de honestidadcomprobada. No se deje en-gañar y recuerde que cualquiertentativa de fraude puedeimplicar un proceso criminal ensu contra o la deportación deEstados Unidos.

En www.uscis.gov/espanolpuede encontrar toda la in-formación necesaria en suidioma y si necesita saber máspuede llamar a USCIS al 1-800-375-5283.

La Acción de la Esperanza

Hay muchas cosas que lospadres pueden hacer paraayudar a sus hijos en su regresoa la escuela, como reemplazarla mochila vieja o comprarleslos útiles que necesitan. Perohay algo que pueden hacer quees más importante y no siem-pre cuesta dinero: ayudarloscon la tarea.

Los niños que hacen la tareaconstantemente suelen tenermejores calificaciones. Yaunque a veces no es fácilhacerlos cambiar el televisor ola computadora por el cua-derno de tarea, especialmentedespués de un día largo deactividades, estos consejos delGobierno pueden ayudar:

• Hablar con los hijossobre la tarea. Es importanteque los niños entiendan laimportancia de hacer la tareay el impacto positivo que puedetener en sus calificaciones.Además de repasar y practicarlo que aprendieron en clase, latarea los ayuda a prepararsepara las lecciones del díasiguiente y desarrollar ladisciplina que necesitan para suéxito académico.

• Reunirse con los maes-tros. Cuando se trata de latarea, los maestros puedentener exigencias distintas. Porlo tanto es importante hablarcon ellos para conocer susexpectativas. Por ejemplo,algunos maestros quieren quelos padres revisen cuida-dosamente la tarea de sus hijos,mientras que otros prefierenque sólo controlen que lahicieron. Además, el maestropuede contestar preguntascomo cuánto tiempo debe pasarel estudiante haciendo la tareay qué hacer si tiene dificultades

Consejos para ayudar a los hijos con la tarea Los padres no tienen que ser expertos en todo pero sí deben estar dispuestos a ayudar

o si le resulta demasiado fácil.• Fijar un horario para

hacer la tarea. El mejormomento para hacer la tareaes el que mejor funciona conlas actividades del estudiantey la disponibilidad de sus papás.Puede ser antes o después dejugar, ver televisión, cenar o dehacer alguna actividad extra-curricular. Lo importante esque la hora sea constante y queno sea la última actividad deldía, cuando el niño esté can-sado y con sueño.

• Escoger un lugar có-modo y eliminar las distra-cciones. Para fomentar laconcentración es importanteencontrar un lugar en la casaque tenga buena iluminacióndonde el niño pueda sentarse yhacer la tarea sin distracciones.Puede ser la mesa de la cocina,un escritorio o su propia habita-ción, siempre y cuando no hayadistracciones como televisoresprendidos o aparatos electróni-cos a mano, a menos de quesean esenciales para hacer latarea.

• Proveer los recursosnecesarios. Los padres notienen que ser expertos en todaslas materias para ayudar a sushijos con la tarea. Sin embargo,pueden proveerles los recursosque necesitan, incluyendolápices, plumas, borradores ypapel para escribir. Tambiénpueden llevar a sus hijos a labiblioteca o navegar el Internetcon ellos para encontrar re-cursos que ayuden con la tarea.GobiernoUSA.gov, por ejemplo,tiene una sección de niños coninformación práctica sobrevarios temas. Por su parte, elDepartamento de Educacióncuenta con una serie de folletospara ayudar a los hijos con latarea de matemáticas, ciencias,lectura y comprensión.

Para aprender más sobretemas relacionados a la educa-ción se recomienda consultarGobiernoUSA.gov, el portaloficial del Gobierno de losEstados Unidos en español, queforma parte de la Admini-stración de Servicios Generalesde EE.UU.

In Memoriam

Fred “Slick” Avalos, 89, a lifetime resident of San Diego, died August 17th ofnatural causes.A child of the Depression, his parents immigrated to the U.S. to escape theMexican revolution in 1916. In California the family became farmworkersand later Avalos secured a better future for his family as one the firstMexican Americans to join the Carpenter’s Union. He was also a professionalboxer and served in the Army Air Corps in World War II.An expert in carpentry and construction, Avalos travelled the world workingon construction projects, eventually forming his own company. He remainedinvolved in the labor union politics for the majority of his life. A man ofcourage, Avalos often spoke truth to power regardless of the personalconsequences.His daughter Fredi Avalos noted: “He taught us that a meaningful life is basedon service to others, especially those who are oppressed. There were timeswhen he literally gave people the shirt off his back.”His beloved wife Antonia, died in 2004. Fred Avalos is survived by his fourdaughters Barbara Avalos (National City School Board member), BernadetteCastro (community activist), Fredi Avalos, PhD, Ava Avalos MD, and sons–in-law Art Castro and Mark Day - all of whom work towards positive socialchange. His descendants also include 5 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildrenand 3 great great grandchildren.A graveside service with full military honors will be held at the Holy CrossCemettery at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 25. A reception will follow inBonita.

cious,” Castro said. But healso agreed that police offic-ers should not abuse their au-thority, and that they shouldemploy practices based on areasonable suspicion of actualor potential law-breaking.

Calmly walking down thestreet doesn’t seem to fit thebill.

Castro added that his officeregistered a number of com-plaints related to street deten-tions back in January, Febru-ary and March, but had nothandled any such cases in re-cent months. According to thestate official, an officer’s namemust be visibly displayed.

In the transition of law en-forcement responsibilities fromthe army to the Federal Policeto the new municipal policeforce touted by officials, thebehavior of city cops remainsa source of controversy andcontention. Numerous humanrights complaints including al-legations of torture are pend-ing.

The CEDH’s Castro said anew security working grouphas been set up to discuss andresolve outstanding police-community issues, with theparticipation from different sec-tors. According to Castro, themunicipal administration ofPRI Mayor Hector “Teto”Murguia has named ClaraTorres, known for her activismwith the rival PAN politicalparty, to act as the liaison.

Our encounter with the po-lice took place in a section ofthe city that is slated for majorredevelopment. Coincidingwith the revitalization, the mu-nicipal cops have been detain-ing street vendors who do notpossess the proper permits.The make-over also entails therazing of old buildings to makeway for new, uncertain ones,though a consensus could beemerging among the businessclass to build a convention cen-ter adjacent to the part ofAvenida Juarez closest to the

international crossing to ElPaso, according to a story intoday’s edition of the Nortenewspaper.

This summer, a grassrootsmovement started to save oneof the businesses in the pathof the bulldozers, Café Central,a homey diner located onAvenida 16 de Septiembre nearthe Cathedral. A Facebookpage has even be posted to rallythe faithful. Just inside the frontdoor, visitors are asked to addtheir signatures to an already-thick book of names protest-ing a possible demolition.

First opened in 1958, CaféCentral is part of the history,culture and fabric of CiudadJuarez.

Open 24 hours, the restau-rants’ affordable menu of cof-fee, pastries, comida Mexicanaand Chinese food attractspeople from all walks of life.Even amid the violence thattore the apart the city in recenttimes, Café Central stayedopen, standing out as an oasisof life in a desert of death. Of

the approximately 40 workers,some have been on the job fordecades, including an 80-year-old waitress who still has thestamina to take orders andserve coffee. If the Café Cen-tral is razed, the waitress and herco-workers will lose their jobs.

In its bid to recover fromwhat the academics call hyper-violence, Ciudad Juarez surelyneeds to attract tourists fromacross the border again.

But randomly stopping andfrisking out-of-towners doesn’tseem to the best way to en-courage return visitation.

And while downtown Ciud-ad Juarez certainly needs newdevelopment, tossing elderlyworkers into the ranks of theunemployed somehow doesn’tseem like a sensible economicdevelopment strategy.

Romney LatinAmerican vision, notmuch to look at(con’t from page 1)

Romney might argue, for ex-ample, Latin America is by nomeans teetering on the brink ofa state-controlled economicsystem. Many countries in theregion may have embraced so-cialist philosophies and ex-panded public services to en-hance education, health careand worker compensation, butwith the exception of Cuba,these measures have over-whelmingly taken shape withindemocratic institutions – or atthe very least, through consti-tutional processes as we seein Venezuela. Further, designat-ing Cuba and Venezuela as twoof four “rogue states” thatstand to threaten U.S. strate-gic interests is hyperbolic andself-serving for politicians likeRomney who cater to right-wing extremists. Neither coun-try is as antagonistic and iso-lated from the internationalcommunity as Iran and NorthKorea. With its incorporationinto Mercosur, Venezuela willhave to make valuable conces-sions to maintain integration,such as participating in thebloc’s FTA with Israel, a statethat Venezuela does not rec-ognize.

Certainly, a look at Rom-ney’s proposals reveals meretalking points cemented with slo-gans over substance. For asmuch as he has attempted toportray Obama’s stances ascompeting with his own whiledistancing himself from GeorgeW. Bush, Romney may actuallybe too similar to his would-bepredecessors for Latin Ameri-ca’s wellbeing. RegardingCuba, Obama lifted travel bansto the country, but has otherwiseadopted Bush’s strategy of ca-tering to the domestic anti-

Castro lobby. If elected, Rom-ney’s advisors would likelyhave him continue such pan-dering if not reinstate the pre-vious travel restrictions. To di-minish drug-related violence inthe region, Romney has pro-posed further militarization ofthe conflict as well as a hemi-spheric task-force to enhanceintelligence sharing, two rec-ommendations Obama hasexplored through the Bushadministration’s Méri-da Ini-tiative. Even with his proposedCampaign for Economic Op-portunity in Latin America,Romney has said he aims tobuild on the popularity of theFTAs with Panama and Co-lombia, both negotiated underBush but signed by Obama.

Let’s face it: when it comesto Latin America, Obama’spolicy map is almost indistin-guishable from that of hispresidential forerunner. ButRomney moves beyond anystatements Obama has madeinto neoconservative territorywith his view of the interna-tional system. He has indicatedin his white paper that he be-lieves the United States oughtto dictate world affairs as asupreme unilateral force. Fur-ther, he has scorned Obamafor upholding the virtues of mul-tilateral organizations and im-plying that Washington shouldallow other actors to exerciseglobal leadership. If he had hisway after the campaign sea-son, Romney would no doubtdraw Latin America back tothe days of the Monroe Doc-trine, in which the UnitedStates alone could decidewhich powers meddled in theAmericas.

At the beginning of his ad-ministration, by contrast,Obama enjoyed wild popular-ity in Latin America for havingchampioned antithetical aspira-tions. At the Summit of theAmericas in 2009, for instance,Obama emphasized the needfor a shift in U.S.-Latin Ameri-

can relations toward an “equalpartnership.” Yet, due largely totacit U.S. support of the 2009coup in Honduras, his standingin the region has waned. Manyhave attributed the president’srecent replacement of his se-nior Latin American advisor tothe heavy censure he experi-enced in Cartagena at the 2012Summit of the Americas.Though only time will tell if thisdecision will alter Obama’spolicy on Latin America, it rep-resents an encouraging sign.

Romney justifies his in-tended resurgence for theUnited States abroad by claim-ing that those who do not sub-scribe to American ideals arethreats to world peace and thatsuch threats exist all around us.In some cases, as with terror-ism and organized crime, hiscautionary tale may hold true;however, the speculation thatVenezuela and Cuba constitutea clear danger to free societ-ies everywhere has grown ob-solete in our increasingly mul-tipolar world.

Singling out countries thatopenly defy the WashingtonConsensus as a reason thatLatin America ought to deferto U.S. leadership exposeshow out-of-touch Romney is.It all but ignores the rise of re-gional powers, and dilutes thecomplexity of Latin Americanrelations down to an anti-quated model of good and evil.The portrait Romney raised atthe VFW convention mayhave spoken to an older gen-eration – “[l]ike a watchmanin the night, we must remainat our post…” – but to the restof the world, such rhetoric in-dicates he is stuck in the ColdWar-era. As with his PaulRyan vice presidential pick,hiding behind anachronismsand bellicose nationalism mayallow Romney to play to do-mestic discontent with theflagging economy. Votersmust be careful, however, notto fall for this ruse.

It seems the United States of America’s two-party political system is undergoing a majormetamorphosis. The weight of demographicchange and diversity could be the straws thatbreak the back of our nation’s second oldestpolitical party.

The Republican Party was established in 1854to combat the expansion of slavery into theKansas and Nebraska territories and in 1860elected Abraham Lincoln, who led the Northto victory in the Civil War and abolished sla-very. Initially, it consisted mainly of northernWhite Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) busi-nessmen and professionals, along with a smat-tering of blue-collar workers, farmers and freedslaves. Through a coalition of Whigs, Free SoilDemocrats and the anti-immigrant, nativistAmerican Party (a.k.a. the “Know Nothings”),Republicans quickly established majorities innearly every Northern state. In its early yearsit was pro-business and supported banks, thegold standard, railroads, and tariffs to protectindustrial workers and industry. From birth, itscore values dominated U.S. politics up until1932.

The “Grand Old Party” temporarily lost itsgrip on national politics following the Great De-pression. As a result of the “New Deal” coali-tion — Democratic state party and local citypolitical machines, organized labor and bluecollar workers, members of racial, ethnic andreligious minority groups, farmers, white South-erners, the nation’s poor and a growing num-ber of the country’s intelligentsia — Democratscontrolled national politics under Franklin D.Roosevelt from 1933 to1945 and continued intothe middle 1960s.

Republicans returned to national power, win-ning seven of the 10 presidential elections from1968 to 2004, mainly due to high voter turnoutamong older social conservatives and whiteEvangelical Protestants in the South. In 1980,the Party’s symbolic leader became RonaldReagan, whose conservative policies called forreduced government spending and regulation,lower taxes, and a more assertive foreign policy.These principles still drive much of today’s GOPagenda and leaders, whose efforts to conjureup visions of idyllic days of yore invoke Reagan’sname and policies to rally supporters.

For the past two years, the Tea Party move-ment has introduced considerable unrest thatis again transforming Republican politics. Theirmovement calls for the party’s rededication to“financial, moral, spiritual, ethical, political, so-cial and family foundations.” They believe re-duction of the federal deficit, cutting taxes, and

changing “business as usual” political practicesby politicians in our nation’s capital, will helpthem in “Taking our country back.”

The Tea Party’s influence was felt in the 2010elections, resulting in victories in state legisla-tures across the U.S. and Congress. Despitethose successes, GOP voters in the 2012 presi-dential elections may have to support Mitt Rom-ney — the former Massachusetts Governor,Harvard-educated technocrat and healthcareproponent whose approach to the presidencymay not be too different from that of BarackObama. The Tea Party, Republican leaders andSuper PACs that support them share a com-mon goal: to oust Obama from the nation’s high-est office, regardless of who replaces him.

In spite of anti-immigration, voter photo iden-tification, repeal of national healthcare, the banof ethnic studies curriculum and reductions inpublic school financing initiatives promoted bypredominantly Republican elected officials andtheir supporters, taking our nation back to anostalgic view of its salad days may be wishfulthinking on the part of conservative, aging U.S.Americans.

The U.S. population, now estimated at 308.7million persons, has more than doubled sincethe 1950 level of 152.3 million and has alsobecome qualitatively different from the “Leaveit to Beaver” era of that time. Consider theincreasing number of “majority minority” cit-ies, regions and states where members of ra-cial and ethnic groups are now the majority.Across the country, improved high schoolcompletion rates — especially among Latinoyouth — have resulted in them becoming thelargest nonwhite ethnic group on college cam-puses and a fourth of the total U.S. public schoolenrollment. Not only are they the largest seg-ment of the USA’s student population, they arealso the fastest growing potential voter; every30 seconds in the USA a Latino turns 18 —the USA’s legal voting age.

According to Steve Munisteri, chairman ofthe GOP in Texas, if the Republican Party doesnot significantly increase its share of the Latinovoters in Texas in the next few years it willbecome “toast” as a governing party. The elec-tion of Hispanic Republicans like New MexicoGovernor Susana Martinez, Nevada GovernorBrian Sandoval and U.S. Senator Marco Rubioof Florida were positive first steps; however,unless the GOP recognizes and incorporatesthe interests of the fastest-growing consumer,employee, student, taxpayer and voter groupsin the USA, it too may go the way of otherpolitical dinosaurs.

The Straw that Could Break theElephant’s Back

By Eva PatersonEqual Justice Society

On August 13, the Equal Justice Society, thelaw firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati,and the Haas Diversity Research Center at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, submittedan amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court onbehalf of 13 of the country’s leading social sci-entists in the Fisher v. University of Texas atAustin, urging the Court to uphold modest race-conscious admissions policies.

The brief cites studies, provided to the Su-preme Court for the first time, showing thatrace-conscious admissions policies such asthose used by the University of Texas at Aus-tin result in a more diverse student body, whichis essential to produce leaders able to competein the 21st century global marketplace. The briefalso explains how structural barriers inhibit edu-cational opportunity.

Social science research offers a deeperunderstanding of why diversity is even morecrucial to academic achievement and civicengagement than previously understood. Stud-ies show how diversity improves academic per-formance, reduces prejudice, lowers stress andpsychological barriers, and has broad positiveeffects on workforce development.

Social Science, Better Students, andAmerican Achievement

Among the research demonstrating how di-versity improves workforce development, onestudy shows that diversity leads to innovationbecause groups collaborate more when theyrecognize that alternative perspectives exist,leading to novel insights and solutions. This wasamong the findings in a study led by Dr. KatherineW. Phillips, the Paul Calello Professor of Lead-ership and Ethics at Columbia Business School.The inclusion of diverse viewpoints in decision-making leads to creativity and efficiency in howgroup members work together.

Another study reveals that when people ofcolor are part of a multiracial group, it can leadto divergent thinking, more creativity, and moreaccurate judgments. Diverse environments canalso lead White individuals to “exhibit more thor-ough information processing,” found a studyled by Dr. Samuel R. Sommers, Associate Pro-fessor of Psychology at Tufts University.

Research by Dr. Patricia Gurin at the Uni-

versity of Michigan concludes that extensiveand meaningful interracial interaction enhanceseducation outcomes. Her study showed higherlevels of intellectual engagement and academicskills for White, Black, Latino, and Asian stu-dents, based on data collected from more than11,000 students across 184 institutions.

The brief also cites an analysis of more than200 studies revealing that continued contact withpeople from other ethnic backgrounds reducesprejudice. The analysis by Dr. Thomas F.Pettigrew and Dr. Linda R. Tropp indicates thatinterracial interactions over time reduce anxi-ety and other negative emotional responses.

Why the Fisher Case is So ImportantThe Fisher case was brought by a White stu-

dent who challenges her denial of admission toUT in 2008 under an admissions policy thatconsiders many different criteria, including:leadership qualities, extracurricular activities,awards, work experience, community service,family and school socio-economic status, andrace. UT's policy takes into consideration therace environment background of any applicant,including a White student, based on his or herunique life experience.

After Fisher filed her lawsuit in 2008, a fed-eral judge ruled against her in 2009. On appeal,the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5thCircuitlast year unanimously ruled against Fisher andupheld the constitutionality of UT's admissionspolicy, saying it is consistent with the SupremeCourt’s Grutter decision that diversity is a com-pelling interest for public universities and thatrace can be used as a factor in admissions.Fisher appealed to the Supreme Court, whichwill hear arguments in October 2012.

By challenging UT’s admissions policy, theFisher case attacks the Supreme Court’s bed-rock constitutional holding that the educationalbenefits of a diverse student body are a com-pelling interest that colleges and universitiesmay pursue through narrowly tailored, equalopportunity policies.

Social Scientists’ Brief with SupremeCourt Sheds New Light on Diversity

George Cameron, ex-Superintendent ofNational City School District, had a changeof heart about running for Sweetwater schoolboard against Pearl Quiñones. Heard fromgrapevine that he tried to withdraw his namebut was too late for that. He did withdraw hisballot statement.

Quiñones is coming out fighting for herseat on the Sweetwater Union High SchoolDistrict. She claims charges against her are afabrication and she will prevail. She will faceoff against two other candidates in whatshould be an interesting race.

Facing a much tougher race in Sweetwaterwill be Bertha Lopez… looks like thepowers to be are lining up behind San DiegoCharger ex-football player Burt Grossman.

There won’t be a lack on money in this race.Grossman will have star treatment being anex-football player and football season in fullswing… the only thing that may derail him isif the Chargers have a lousy start to theseason…

Everyone asking why Lopez is not part ofthe indictment… quién sabe, rumors aboundthat she is being very cooperative with theDA but we have no inside info just rumors….Sometimes where there is smoke…

El jefe is thinking that it is time to stop hissubscription to the UT which has gone ultra-right wing… it was always a Republican ragbut now the pretense is gone and its bias ison full display with frontpage editorials….

They call her the “Hispanic Oprah” whichis news to us but Cristina Saralegui will beone of the Hispanic speakers at theDemocratic Convention… how come I amnot impressed. Other speakers include TexasMayor Julián Castro… nobody scheduledfrom Califas… talking about taking us forgranted.

We begin our argument to fix theThree Strikes Law with twobasic understandings:

One fact is that minorities are disproportion-ately represented in our prison system. Minorityincarceration can be attributed to many factors,including racial profiling and poverty. WhileBlacks make up 6% of the state population, theyrepresent 29% of the prison population. His-panics represent 33% of the state population andare now the majority population in prison. 34%of California prisoners are Hispanic.

The second fact is that the prison budget inthe State of California has risen to the pointthat taxpayers are paying more for the prisonsystem than education. The budget for theCalifornia Department of Corrections and Re-habilitation increased from about 3 percent in1980 to about 11 percent today. During thesame time period, funding for UC and CSUdropped from 10 percent of the state’s gen-eral fund 30 years ago to about 6 percent to-day. It now costs approximately $45,000 peryear to house a prisoner, the same that it wouldto send a student to Harvard.

In California, the Three Strikes law requiresa mandatory 25 years to life prison sentencefor the third conviction of criminals who havetwo prior felony convictions on their record.

The problem is that many of the third strikeconvictions are for petty theft and small-timedrug offenses. These convictions result in non-violent offenders getting locked up for life at acost of $45,000 per year. Non-violent offend-ers make up 40 percent of the third strikeprison population. The continued cost of im-prisoning non-violent petty criminals is going

to continue to drive the prison budget up. Fur-ther, as these prisoners get older they will re-quire more services and health care.

Prop 36 will revise the three strikes law insuch a way that if a criminal has never - in anyof his three convictions - used a firearm, mo-lested a child, committed a serious violent act,sold drugs, or committed another seriousfelony, a judge would be able to use his dis-cretion for sentencing. If, however, there isone “very bad” strike as previously described- either in the convict’s past or in the mostrecent crime, the three strikes law will remainin effect and the convict will be sentenced to amandatory 25 years to life.

The final leg to this proposition is that it willallow for re-sentencing of three strike convic-tions already in prison if the third strike con-viction was not serious or violent. This wouldaffect about 4,000 prisoners who would bereleased from prison for time served.

It is projected that Prop 36 would save thestate’s taxpayers between $70 million to $90million a year in reduced prison costs.

The bottom line is that Prop 36 will take theless serious three strike convicts out of theloop for lifetime imprisonment. Meaning thatfelony convictions for individuals who arecaught for marijuana possession, a felony, orpetty theft would no longer be incarceratedfor the rest of their lives. This does not meanthey will go unpunished, they will still be heldaccountable, but they won’t be serve the man-datory 25 year to life sentence for crimeswhich do not justify that long of a sentence.

The Three Strikes law needs to be fixed andProp 36 does this. We recommend the pas-sage of Prop 36.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I was in a taco shop inthe bathroom stall and saw your racistdribble in La Prensa San Diego (thepaper was being used as ass wipe Iguess). Whatever you say or write willalways be foreshadowed by the fact thatyou and all the dark-skinned Mexis aremosca en la leche—that will neverchange. And for you to steal thestatement “gentle readers” from MissManners shows just how un-authenticand un-creative you are. But we realizeyou are a Mexi; stealing anything(whether bicycles or prose) is embeddedin the genetic code of your dirty culture.After I was done excreting, I used yourcolumn to wipe myself and I threw it inthe corner of the toilet stall with all theother soiled newspaper…

Roger Hedgecock’s Biggest Fan

Dear Gabacho: Your mom didn’t teachyou to wipe properly; you just smeared thiscolumn with your intellectual caca. AndJudith Martin didn’t invent the “gentlereaders” schtick; hell, Jonathan Swift wasdropping that couplet in Gulliver’s Travel. Irealize you’re a gabacho: getting basichistory and insults wrong is embedded in thegenetic code of that raza’s more pendejomembers. Now make like a Yahoo, and digfor those nuggets!

Let me start by telling you that, likeyourself, I’m a proud mexicana, andhow glad I am that someone educatedlike yourself is trying to educate KnowNothings about things they think theyknow. My concern is this: I am aDREAMer, and I have come across somany stupid people that think theyknow what’s best for us. I have heardthat it’s never gonna pass, that we’re

just wasting ourtime, blah blahblah! What can Isay to these KnowNothings, to makethem understandthat all we’reasking for is achance at whatmany of them have refused: a chance togo to college and have a good payingjob, and/or a chance to serve in themilitary. After all, is not this the land ofopportunities? Land of the free home ofthe brave?

An Orgullosa DREAMer Mexicana

Dear Proud Mexican DREAMER:Actually, I’m a mexicano, not amexicana—not that there’s anything wrongwith that! As for what you can tell KnowNothings to make them understand yoursituation…they never will. Instead, tell them“I told you so” by showing all theaccomplishments undocumented youth havenotched—college degrees, businesses,making your plight a national issue, one sobig that President Barack Obama has issueda stay on any deportations for ustedes (animperfect gesture, for sure, but at least astart)—while supposedly powerless. Arethese not the types of Americans we want,people who can stare into the abyss ofhopelessness and emerge not only positivebut productive? If you’re supposed to makelemonade when life throws you lemons,DREAMers have created a taquiza out ofnothing—and if Know Nothings want toignore and demonize that, then they deservethe beautiful half-Mexican grandchild that’scoming their way pronto.

In math a function is a rule that explains howone thing depends on another. For example,temperature is a function of the hour of the day(2am is cooler than 3 pm).

In San Diego politics the Mayor has been afunction of San Diego’s misguided establish-ment. This agenda has been a function of whateconomist Jane Jacobs called “force, fraud andunconscionable greed.”

Jerry Sanders was and is a function of theSan Diego establishment. His soft positive im-age was the political face the San Diego estab-lishment used to front its agenda when DickMurphy resigned after Time Magazine namedhim one of America’s worst Mayors.

Despite major question marks the San Diegoestablishment found Sanders’ record compel-ling. Sanders’ was presented as a “turn around”specialist for troubled organizations. He claimedto have the financial acumen needed to rightSan Diego’s financial ship sinking in a tide ofpension debt. He had turned the Red Cross andUnited Way around so he could do the samefor San Diego the establishment cronies argued.

His failure to graduate from SDSU was over-looked. No heed was paid to whether hebungled the police response to the San YsidroMcDonald’s restaurant massacre in which 40people were killed or injured. Sanders earlydeparture from the SDPD and his long-timebenefit from a city pension were ignored. Nonotice was taken of his busted venture into theVirtual Capital firm. The dissimilarity betweenMayoral duties and his public relations jobs atUnited Way and Red Cross were treated asunimportant.

Predictably Sanders performance fell shortof his promise. As Mayor, Sanders did not turn-around the pension debt problem; far from it.He appointed a pension board that did not eventry to restore sound actuarial principles. Instead,Sanders gambled a billion dollars of public fundson the pension board’s high-risk investmentstrategy and lost. Then he tried to scare votersto increase taxes, again he lost.

Sanders saddled taxpayers with over a bil-lion dollars in retiree health insurance debt,claiming to have saved millions. He then in-duced voters to support a pension reform basedon the faulty claim the multi-billion pension debtcan be paid by future city workers.

Sanders’ inexperience showed through whenhe claimed in 2007 he had a five-year plan and

budget “for fixing most of the major financialissues.” But in 2010 Sanders flip-flopped andcomplained to voters that unless they approveda tax increase he would make cuts in publicsafety. Then in 2012, after voters rejected thetax increase Sanders proclaimed a budget sur-plus. Never mind the failure to maintain theparks, libraries, streets, sidewalks, alleys,bridges, and other San Diego infrastructure.Never mind his use of 40 years of debt to payfor street improvement that will last a fractionof that time.

Sanders unsteady hand in the face of crisiswas exposed in 2007 when he failed to ordersafeguards to avoid anticipated wild fires. Hegambled with the lives of the people of RanchoBernardo when he gave late notice of the im-minent threat of fire spreading towards theircommunity.

Sanders failed to provide San Diego withplans to achieve reliable supplies of water orrenewable energy. He did not intervene to stopSDG&E from imposing the nation’s highestelectricity rates on the people of San Diego.

When the Federal Aviation Administrationwarned that one of Sanders campaign contribu-tors had erected a building near MontgomeryAirport that was a safety hazard Sanders gavethe green light for the building to go forward.When a search warrant was issued by a Supe-rior Court judge directed at the company erect-ing the building Sanders’ police chief leaked theinformation and refused to serve the warrant.

After Sanders was alerted to the risk of majorslide at Mount Soledad he left San Diego on ajunket to Washington D.C. While he was gonethe slide hit and destroyed homes on MountSoledad. Instead of helping the victims Sand-ers concentrated on making sure he was notblamed. Over $7.9 million was spent for law-yers that could have gone to help the victims.

Sanders also failed to get the City audits re-ports out on time. This failure came after theCity paid over $20 million on auditors and con-sultants, and consented to the entry of a SECjudgment finding city officials committed se-curities fraud in connection with the sale ofcity bonds.

Of such a record great mayors are not made.An awakened electorate is the function of

Jerry Sanders failed service. San Diego voterssoundly rejected Sanders’ candidate for Mayor.San Diego’s next mayor will be he who makesthe office of mayor a function of its commonpeople and their common needs.

By Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez

At the Aug 7 trial for Randall Leon Thomp-son, the person accused of leaving three deaththreats against me in my university voicemail,was placed under supervised probation for ayear, but was spared jail time.

The judge said he found his behavior disgust-ing and was inclined to throw him in jail, if Istrongly objected to the deal negotiated by theattorneys.

For a moment, I had the power to send Mr.Thompson to jail. I had good reason to do so;the threats he sent in May 2011 were viciousand laced with racial venom. His tirades werein response to my purported role in defendingTUSD’s Mexican American Studies (MAS)department, which has since been dismantledas a result of the district complying with theanti-Ethnic Studies HB 2281.

These threats came subsequent to one postedon YouTube against the UNIDOS students whohad taken over the Tucson school boardroomseveral weeks before. That threat urged view-ers to “shoot them in the head,” but was dis-missed by the Tucson Police Department as “ajoke.”

The reason I did not exercise the judge’s op-tion is because I don’t consider Mr. Thompsonto be the intellectual author of the threatsagainst me. True, he vocalized them, but he,like many in this state, have been goaded, andmanipulated, often by the state’s top politiciansand others who exploit racial or cultural divi-sions within society (for an insight into hate fromabove, see stories re former State Senate Presi-dent Russell Pearce’s emails, along with Sher-iff Joe Arpaio’s communique’s).

That daily spewing of hatred towards Mexi-cans and Mexican culture, disguised as “a waragainst ‘illegals’” is a form of dehumanizationthat permits these politicos to spew out theirhatred. They do this while claiming that theyare not aiming their disdain at actual peoples,but rather simply at “lawbreakers” (The MASstruggle has nothing to do with migration, ille-gal or otherwise). The hatred spewed out byMr. Thompson, is little different from what onereads in the comments section in the dailynewspapers.

That’s not to negate that Mr. Thompsonis a conscious adult. Indeed he is respon-sible, or needs to be made responsible, forhis actions. Seeing him in the courtroom, itwas difficult to see him as the same manwho threatened to use a 357 Magnumagainst me and who also threatened to war

against Mexicans. And yet, for all his threats,he pled guilty but to one count of using a tele-phone to terrify, intimidate, threaten or ha-rass.

On the same day, Jared Lee Loughner, pledguilty to 19 counts in court, for the shooting of19 in Tucson the year before, including the se-rious wounding of Congresswoman GabrielleGiffords. This is on the heels of the murder of6 Sikhs in Wisconsin last week and the Colo-rado massacre that left 12 dead and 58 injuredlast month.

The reason I did not “strongly object” tothis deal, is because I was unclear why Mr.Thompson was not facing felonies.

At an earlier hearing I had asked the courtthat question, and when I was permitted to reada statement in court Aug. 7, I also asked whyno hate crime charges were filed? In response,the judge said it was a good question and onethat I need to ask of the region’s U.S. Attor-ney.

I do plan to do this, as these threats appearto come under the U.S. Justice Departmentdefinition of a hate crime (http://www.justice.gov/crs/). It reads:

“Hate crime is the violence of intoleranceand bigotry, intended to hurt and intimidatesomeone because of their race, ethnicity, na-tional origin, religious, sexual orientation, or dis-ability. The purveyors of hate use explosives,arson, weapons, vandalism, physical violence,and verbal threats of violence to instill fear intheir victims…”

Given Arizona’s recent history, it shouldn’tbe up to me to pursue these hate crime charges.State Atty. General, Tom Horne, the intellec-tual author of HB 2281, stated on Aug 3, 2012in Tucson, that he believes the threats to behate crimes.

Beyond that, true justice can only come aboutwhen the intellectual authors of this hate alsohave their date in court. Here’s another quotefrom that same memo:

“When perpetrators of hate are not pros-ecuted as criminals and their acts not publiclycondemned, their crimes can weaken eventhose communities with the healthiest race re-lations.”

In Arizona, how do you prosecute that hatewhen it appears to come from the very top?My suggestion: one perpetrator at a time.

Prosecuting Hate Crimes to the FullestExtent of the Law

Sanders’ legacy not exactly ashining star

Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.

La ignorancia no tiene límites. Los recientescomentarios de Todd Akin, representante de laCámara Baja del Congreso y aspirante asenador por el estado de Missouri, levantó olasde gran tamaño.

Sus correligionarios conservadores no sabencómo hacerlo desaparecer de la tarima política.

Durante una entrevista, Akin trató de explicarpor qué se opone al aborto, incluyendo en uncaso de violación sexual.

Su respuesta fue: “Inicialmente a mi meparece que, cómo entiendo a los doctores, eso[la violación sexual] es muy raro. Si es unaviolación sexual legítima, el cuerpo de la mujerse cierra [no permite la fecundación]. Peroasumiremos que tal vez el cuerpo no se cierradel todo o sucede algo parecido, entonces, yopienso que debe haber una forma de castigo,pero ese castigo debe ser al violador, y no albebe [producto de la violación].

Tal vez yo no debería ser la persona indicadapara discutir esta situación tan personal de unamujer, particularmente a una que ha sufrido eldolor de ser violada sexualmente. Sin embargo,es necesario poner los puntos y comas dondecorresponde. Permítanme relativizar losproblemas y cuestiones de la mujer.

La violación sexual, en cualquier forma, esuna violación. La persona que comete unatropello contra una mujer debe ser castigadaseveramente de acuerdo a las leyes gobierno ylos códigos criminales del Estado.

Por otra parte, es la mujer violada, solo ella,la que puede resolver por si misma la decisiónde alterar el proceso de gestación de un bebé,

que es producto del atropello y la mendicidadde un salvaje.

Akin tiene la vergüenza de categorizardiversas formas de violación sexual. Su balanceignorante, aparentemente después de unaconsulta con médicos, es que el cuerpo de lamujer, en los momentos de una violación“legítima”, su cuerpo no acepta a los esperma-tozoides del criminal que la asedia y la viola.

Akin está tratando de justificar una menta-lidad sexista y ultra-conservadora.

Lo triste es que Akin no está sólo. Un sectorgrande de los conservadores se opone al aborto,incluso después de una violación sexual.

El candidato a la vicepresidencia del PartidoRepublicano, Paul Ryan, no solamente es amigode Akin, sino que los dos presentaron en laCámara Baja del Congreso una propuesta queintentó categorizar las formas de violaciónsexual contra la mujer.

Dicho proyecto irracional no pasó, pero dicemucho de la intolerancia de estos individuos.

La Constitución de los Estados Unidos,permite a la mujer terminar con la gestaciónde un embarazo. Una violación sexual es unacto violento perpetrado contra una persona.El fruto de ese atropello, nunca debe ser lapenuria de la persona violentada.

En este sentido, las cuestiones ideológicasdeben ponerse a un lado de las decisionespersonales de la mujer. Gente como Akin y Ryanno deberían tener cabida en el congreso delEstado.
