`Goal of Mario Götze made it Ger-many 1, Argentina 0. After 113 min-utes of the two teams playing to astalemate, the end the World Cup wasat hand! “Yuk ... the Germans willwin.” Ten minutes later, the defeatwas final. A whole generation ofArgentina’s waiting for that elusiveWorld Cup win, an entire generationthat, to this point, had never seen theirteam get to a semi-final much lessthe final, only to be completely disap-pointed!

I decided to start walking aroundthe main venues of the city to see inthe faces of my countrymen if theyreflected the same sensation that thisloss had on me. Surprisingly, most ofArgentine faces didn´t reflect sadnessbut joy, honor, pride. Faces painted inlight blue and white, kids smiling,Albiceleste´s flags everywhere, youngboisterous crowds and families in thestreets, cheering for the team, wav-ing at the cars, which were profusely

honking as they drove downtown cel-ebrating, singing our most famous hit,“Brazil decime qué se siente tener encasa a tu papá” (“Brazil, tell me howit feels to have your Daddy in yourhouse?”, literally) or the national an-them. Unbelievable!

Infected with this energy, I decidedto approach the central monument ofBuenos Aires, the Obelisk, where lo-cals (called “porteños”) traditionallygather to celebrate victory. Of thosemore than 900 million of viewersworldwide who were watching thisfinal match, I bet that on Mondayabout 50,000 of them turned off theirtelevisions as soon as the gameended, grabbed their vuvuzela horns,banging drums, cymbals, flags andArgentina shirts and began walkingtowards the 9 de Julio Avenue, astreet of some endless 140 meterswide, which —at least— more than8 blocks were full of supporters.

Música, cánticos de fútbol yfuegos artificiales adonde se mirase.A pesar de la cara baja de los

jugadores y del posterior “No meinteresa nada... Lo único que queríaera levantar la Copa” de Messi ensus primeras declaraciones a la prensanacional, el sentimiento local no erael mismo. La ciudad porteña se tiñóde un aire de victoria, de éxito, detriunfo.

Music, soccer chants, and fire-works everywhere you looked. De-spite the sadness on the players facesand Messi´s first statement to the na-tional press (“I don´t care about noth-ing, all I wanted was to lift the WorldCup”), the local feeling wasn´t thesame. The city was tinged with anair of victory, success and triumph.

After several hours of this climate,the violence and damages appearedand, then, the police sirens, tear gas,hydrants and rubber bullets wereeasy to hear. Minutes later, 70 de-tained and 15 injured policemen wasthe result. Street and shops vandal-ism ravaged many of the store fronts

Women Play Soccer Toofrom participating in soccer outsideof recreational collegiate games.

In fact, in 1922 when a female En-glish team visited the U.S. for a play-ing tour, they had to compete againstmen’s semi-professional and profes-sional teams simply because thewomen’s clubs didn’t exist yet. Is ithard to believe that what’s now a rec-reational sport for 29 million womenand girls worldwide was practicallytaboo less than 100 years ago?

Momentum for women’s soccerslowly snowballed throughout the20th century until it really took off inthe early 1990’s. The first everWomen’s World Cup was held in1991 with the U.S. winning the tour-nament. The U.S. Women’s NationalTeam has never placed below thirdin any subsequent World Cup. Thesame is true for the Olympics, begin-ning with women’s soccer in 1996where the U.S. again took home thefirst, first place.

In the world of women’s soccer,the U.S. is undoubtedly among the

best in the world, along with Japan,China, Germany, Sweden, Norway,the Korea Republic and Brazil, amongothers. You could easily make the ar-gument that the U.S. Women’s Na-tional Team is THE best. FIFA agrees,ranking it number one for months onend.

On top of all this, the U.S. Women’sNational Team has seen some of themost prolific players in internationalwomen’s soccer history, includingAbby Wambach, who surpassed MiaHamm’s international scoring recordof 158 on June 21st with her 159thand 160th goals against the KoreaRepublic. FIFA has deservedlycrowned her the “globe’s greatest in-ternational goalscorer.”

You’d be hard-pressed to make thesame argument about the men’s side,even after Tim Howard’s stunningperformance against Belgium on July1. While many people think of U.S.Men’s Soccer as mediocre at best,

LIBRARIANS GET MOHAWKS AT SAN DIEGOCOUNTY LIBRARY

It was “Mohawk Madness” at the Vista Branch of San Diego CountyLibrary (SDCL) yesterday as Library Director José Aponte (pictured)and five library staffers shaved their heads into Mohawks on the floorof the library. The wacky haircuts were part of the branch’s We Madea Million Celebration. The event was held in honor of the branch set-ting new checkout record of 1 million checkouts in one fiscal year. TheVista Branch exceeded the milestone, clocking in with 1,011,590 check-outs from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

“I’ll admit I was incredibly nervous all week, but I look pretty goodwith this Mohawk,” said Aponte. “More than anything, I’m proud ofthe staff and the community for this outstanding accomplishment.”

PERSPECTIVE

By Ann Marie HagerAL DÍA

With all the hype around thisweekend’s knock-out rounds of theWorld Cup, did you know that whatwe refer to worldwide as the WorldCup is actually the Men’s World Cupand that the Women’s World Cup isnext year in Canada?

As a soccer fan, player andwoman, I myself didn’t realize thisuntil I started thinking about my fa-vorite players and how often I get towatch them on the world stage. If I,a female soccer fan, hadn’t realizedthat a Women’s World Cup actuallyexisted, chances are most other soc-cer fans haven’t either.

Women’s soccer didn’t becomepopular in the United States until the20th century, as social conventions ofwhat was considered “appropriate”exercise for women prevented them (See Women, page 8)

Workers celebrate, businesses opposeSan Diego’s minimum wage increase

By Pablo J. Sáinz

This week, San Diego became thelargest city in the United States topass a minimum wage hike andearned sick days policy, but workers’groups say it is not enough while busi-ness-owners say it is too much.

During the Monday, July 14th, SanDiego City Council meeting, the citycouncil voted 6-3 in favor of an ordi-nance that will set San Diego’s mini-mum wage at $11.50 implementedover three years every January 1, in-creasing to $9.75 in January 2015,$10.50 in January 2016 and $11.50 inJanuary 2017, and indexed to theConsumer Price Index (CPI) start-

ing January 1, 2019.The ordinance also includes access

to 5 days of earned sick leave forhundreds of thousands of employeesin San Diego who currently do nothave access to earned sick leave.

“This is a great day for the city”,said Councilmember Marti Emerald,who represents District 9, which in-cludes areas such as City Heights, adiverse working-class neighborhood.

By Eliana Alcaraz Esparza

On this particular Tuesdaymorning, July 1, 2014, Mexicansinger Lupillo Rivera felt happyas a “King.” It was on this dayhis much-anticipated single, “ElRey de los Borrachos” was tobe released. He had been sign-ing pre-sold CDs for days andtoday was the day they wouldofficially ship out, solidifyingRivera’s rise as one of Mexicoand Latin America’s mostpopular artists.

While at his Temecula, CAresidence packing the dozensof CDs, Rivera ran out of en-velopes. With his wife and 5-year old son in tow, he drovehis pickup truck toward nearbyMurrieta. The events that tran-spired next were coincidentalbut painfully revealing.

“I happened to be driving byat the precise moment the De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity (DHS) buses were tryingto enter Murrieta. A bunch ofpeople were blocking thestreet,” he recalled.

Rivera had come upon a po-litical protest on the street. Helooked around and was sud-denly confronted with some-thing quite opposite of thewarm welcomes the popularsinger was accustomed to re-ceiving.

Angry demonstrators stoodin front of a DHS bus, scream-ing and holding up signs. Curi-ous, Lupillo parked his truckand walked up to a nearby po-lice officer to ask what washappening. The officer in-formed him it was an “immi-gration protest.” But simplewords didn’t convey the com-plete meaning.

As Lupillo walked closer, hecould read the hatred and ragewritten on the faces of the pro-testors. Then he read it on thesigns they were carrying andit all slowly began to register:

“Illegals Out!”“Return to Sender”“Illegals Today, Jihadist w/

Nukes Tomorrow!”“Protect Your Kids From

Disease”“Send Them Back w/Birth

Control”“Go Back To Mexico”“We Don’t Want You”

Lupillo Rivera: A Stranger In His Own LandWhat he stumbled upon was

a small war. Anti-immigrantprotestors were blocking pas-sage of three DHS buses thatwere transporting 140 undocu-mented immigrants. The pas-sengers were mostly CentralAmerican mothers and theirchildren who had been appre-hended at the Southwest bor-der in Texas. The kids certainlyknew nothing about the immi-gration crisis that has been go-ing on in the U.S. for decades;let alone what they were flee-ing or that they were seeking“asylum.” The protestors man-aged to prevent the buses fromentering Murrieta and thenearby USCIS Detention andProcessing Center.

Since he looked Latino,some of the protestors made abeeline towards him. “Almostinstantly,” said Rivera, “I wasbeing yelled at with insults.”

First came the ugly wordsand then a large Caucasianman spat at him. Lupillo quicklyrealized in modern America de-spite whatever status youachieve the color of your skinstill defines you. Although anAmerican citizen, Rivera wasaccosted by protesters be-cause, “According to them,we’re all illegal.”

The beloved singer furtherexplained, “It was like an outof body experience.”

“When they spit on myface,” declared Rivera, “theyspat in all of our faces.”

Now the award-winningsinger finds himself on thenews and at the center of anational border crisis contro-versy. Ironically, neither theMayor of Murrieta, Alan Longnor the protestors who zeroedin on Rivera with verbal at-tacks, were aware of theMexican singer’s celebritywhose fan base is in the hun-dreds of thousands.

Sitting with Lupillo Riveraas he recounted his horrificexperience in Murrieta, I wasprofoundly affected by his re-laxed and grounded, spiritualnature. While Rivera himselfwas too humble to accept anyweighty comparisons, I couldonly identify his graciousnessin the line of fire with otherimportant names of the past—

The Drones of MexicoFRONTERA NORTESUR

Whether legally or illegally,more drones are piercingMexican airspace. JoiningTijuana in the club of drones,Chihuahua state is expected todeploy the technology soon forlaw enforcement purposes.

Chihuahua State ProsecutorJorge Gonzalez Nicolas toldthe local press this month thathis agency has acquired fourdrones which will be assignedto each of the correspondingsub-divisions of the stateprosecutor’s office, includingthe branch located in the bor-der city of Ciudad Juarez. Ac-cording to Gonzalez, the un-manned aircraft will buzz thesky once personnel are thor-oughly trained to operate them.

While the Mexican law en-forcement official did notspecify the cost or origin of thedrones, he did describe themachines’ capabilities.

“These drones have cam-eras that send us an image inreal time and an x-ray appara-tus for telling how many peopleare inside a building, thanks tothe emissions of body heat,”Gonzalez said.

The drones will be linked toa new telecommunications net-work (built with U.S. assis-tance) that is being constructedacross the state and coordinatedby emergency response andstate law enforcement head-quarters in Chihuahua City.

Nationally, security agenciesalready using drones includethe Mexican Defense Minis-

try, the national intelligenceagency CISEN and the Mexi-can Navy, which reportedly hasmanufactured its own dronesoftware and developed amodel craft. Overall, the Mexi-can market for drones jumpedseven times from 2013 to 2014,Mario Aurelio Gonzalez, direc-tor and founder of the privatecompany HelioBoss Latino-america, said earlier this year.

In May Tijuana’s police pre-miered their three drones,which resemble small helicop-ters, at the city’s annual Cincode Mayo parade. Following thefestivities, the drones patrolledthe border city’s historic down-town. Last month, EduardoHernandez Velez, public safetychief for the Baja Californiacity of Ensenada, announcedthat his agency would acquirethree drones of its own.

The Mexico City daily ElUniversal, meanwhile, recentlyran a piece about the use ofdrones for drug smuggling. ElUniversal reported that dronespacked with illegal drugs haveflown across the Mexico-U.S.border since at least 2011.

Citing an unnamed sourcefrom the U.S. Drug Enforce-ment Administration, the articlesaid numerous, large shipmentsof cocaine and other drugshave been transported acrossthe border, with some seizuresmade by U.S. law enforce-ment authorities.

Foreign-made drones usedto transport drugs, mainly of Is-raeli manufacture, were pur-portedly replaced by Mexican-

made ones this year. Accord-ing to El Universal, both U.S.and Mexican drug law enforce-ment officials suspect thedrones are being assembled inMexico City, Queretaro, Gua-dalajara, and the state of NuevoLeon, which includes the largeindustrial city of Monterrey.

The drones are among tech-nological innovations employed

in drug trafficking, includingultra-light aircraft, sophisti-cated underground tunnels andsubmarines.

Quoted by El Universal, aU.S. attorney and drug warobserver identified as JohnDavidson, characterized thedrones as the “perfect mules,”since the pilotless aircraft canbe operated with far less per-

names like Cesar Chavez,Martin Luther King, BobbyKennedy all great men ca-pable of seeing life and com-munity beyond racial segrega-tion.

Eliana Esparza: You foundyourself in the middle of aprotest that you really didn’tunderstand initially. Yet with-in a few minutes, you werebeing yelled at, spat upon,and shoved. What was goingon in your mind?

Lupillo Rivera: I felt un-dignified and violated. I wassurprised that the MurrietaPolice Department just stoodby allowing these attacks. It isjust one example of how thecity of Murrieta failed its resi-dents and innocent bystanders.Some protestors defending thecity say the protests are not anact of racism, but now I seethat it is. I hesitate to use theword racism because of itsnegative meaning, but there isno doubt that it was the moti-vating factor behind Murrieta’shorrible attack against Latinoimmigrants, documented orundocumented—adult or child.

If the bus had been trans-porting children from Russian,Europe, or Canada there wouldhave been no protest.

EE: How were you able torestrain yourself while beingattacked?

LR: [He sighed, with tears

in his eyes] I have to admit,getting spit on, criticized… ithurt… it hurt a lot. But I’m agrown man and I can handleit. I can walk away. My chil-dren stopped me from fightingback. My five-year old little boywas a few feet away witness-ing what was happening and Ididn’t want him to see me as aviolent person. I have to leadby example. After he wit-nessed the man spitting in myface, my son said, ‘That manshould not be on the street. Callthe police.’ My boy shouldhave witnessed the police do-ing their job instead he sawthem stand by as a strangerattacked his dad.

EE: How was your familyaffected?

LR: I was able to teach avaluable lesson to my son aboutbeing able to walk away fromviolence. My 9-year old daugh-ter, on the other hand, that’sanother thing! She watched thenews coverage and saw mebeing attacked. My very girlie-girl told me I “should havekicked his ass.” I had neverheard her speak this way be-fore, which was indicative ofhow both my wife and daugh-ter were upset. My wife whois from the Mexico wanted toget out of the car and come tomy defense… but thankfullyinstead she got on my cellphone and started Tweeting

what was going on. And that’swhen all hell broke loose.

EE: Mainstream media hasmade the Murrieta incidenta “Ground Zero” for the na-tional immigration issue.How have they treated you?

LR: I’ve given many inter-views for English-languagenews companies. The Spanishnetworks focused more on theborder crisis by talking aboutthe children and why they fleetheir countries—more so thanthe English news.

EE: What did you do im-mediately after the protest?

LR: I called my attorney,manager and my pastor brother[Pedro Rivera Jr. / PrimerAmor Church in Whittier, CA]for guidance. I’m a Christianman who believes in non-vio-lence and a man who is againstracism and bigotry. I knew mylife in these few hours had for-ever changed and I wasn’t sureabout anything or what wouldcome next. I knew I had to sur-round myself with people whowould provide me with wisdomand guidance to keep megrounded. Many of my fanscontinue to thank me for de-fending immigrants. That’sheavy and has profoundlytouched me.

EE: A huge responsibility.LR: Yes, it is. I saw people

sonal risk to smugglers andeven re-used to transport theprofits of illicit enterprise backacross the border to Mexico.

Ejecutar o NoEjecutar…

“Ejecutivo” en alguien queejecuta, aunque suene feo.Ejecutar es llevar algo acabo, actuar para que algoque algo suceda, y otrasdefiniciones más alburerasque no viene mucho al caso.

El Presidente de EstadosUnidos (y cualquierpresidente de cualquier paísdel mundo) es, por obviedad,la persona que preside el“Poder Ejecutivo”. Es lapersona responsable de“ejecutar”, de tomar acciónpara que el país camine.

Pero estos días, el vocerode la mayoría Republicana dela Cámara deRepresentantes, JohnBoehner, está planeandodemandar legalmente aBarack Obama para que no“ejecute” nada. O más bien,para que se limite a“ejecutar” las leyes tal comoestán escritas y deje deejercer su facultad“ejecutiva” de darle prioridada algunas cosas y non aotras. En particular, quiereque Obama no le permita alos patrones no ofrecercobertura médica a sustrabajadores hasta 2016 envez de 2014. Curioso, porquelos Republicanos se hanopuesto a la famosaObamacare desde unprincipio, hasta han votadopara anularla completamente,y ahora quieren que se ejerzaal pie de la letra.

Sarah Palin, la loquitaexgobernadora de Alaska delTea Party, dice que el abusode parte de Obama de susfacultades “ejecutivas”podría hasta hacer que loquiten como presidente.

Obama se ríe de lademanda, porque sabe quelos Republicanos estánchiflado. Y nosotros tambiénlo sabemos.

En 6 años en la CasaBlanca, Obama ha emitidouna Orden Ejecutiva cadatres semanas, más o menos,182 en total, uno de losmenores números desde hace130 años. En comparación,George W. Bush emitió 291;Bill Clinton 364; George H.W. Bush 166; RonaldReagan 381 y así por elestilo. Los campeoneshistóricos de las ÓrdenesEjecutivas han sido Harry S.Truman, con 907; TheodoreRoosevelt, con 1,081; CalvinCoolidge, con 1,203;Woodrow Wilson, con 1,803,y Franklin D. Roosevelt conla friolera de 3,522.Demócratas y republicanoshan usado ÓrdenesEjecutivas, 289 en promediopor presi.

¿Ejecutar Qué o A Quién?

When Walter Menesesstarted dancing salsa profes-sionally already as an adultmore than 20 years ago, hebegan to see positive changesin his life. He was healthier,with more energy, and his atti-tude towards life changedcompletely for the best.

Throughout the years, hestarted thinking how his lifewould have been so differentif he had started dancing sincehe was a little boy. Further-more, he began to wonder howdance could impact the lives ofso many low-income families’children in San Diego.

That’s when in 2006 he de-cided to create Dancing AfterSchool, a program that pro-vides free after-school danceand art programs to childrenthroughout San Diego County.

“If dance made that positiveimpact in my life as an adult, Icould only imagine all the goodthings, all the benefits that chil-dren would gain through danc-ing,” Meneses said. “I wanted

to share my love of dancing,because dancing changed mylife for the better.”

Since 2006, Dancing AfterSchool has provided freeclasses to more than 3,000 chil-dren in 28 San Diego Countyschools.

Now, Meneses, one of themost active salsa promoters inSan Diego, is expanding his vi-

sion and inviting the commu-nity at large to help makedance available to children inas many schools in San Diegoas possible.

Dancing After School,which is registered as a 501c3non-profit organization, ischanging the way it raisesfunds for its programs.

Before, the organization de-

pended on big businesses andorganizations’ large donationsto provide its free services toschools.

When the economy beganto affect the amount thosebusinesses and organizationswere donating, Dancing AfterSchool had to decrease thenumber of classes it was of-fering, said operations directorJeanette Meneses.

“We had to depend on largedonations from big donors inorder to survive,” she said. “Itwas very limiting.”

The Meneses are now in-viting the community to be do-nors as part of Dancing AfterSchool’s just-launched You +$2 + 2 Friends campaign, inwhich you donate $2 a monthand encourage two friends todo the same.

“$2 is less than what onespends in a cup of coffee, andthose $2 can make a huge dif-ference in the lives of chil-dren,” Walter Meneses said.

Meneses said he hopes thisnew fundraising method, which

Somos una aldea global, y apesar de que el concepto estáclaro hace mucho, en la prácti-ca, al parecer no nos damoscuenta. Pero vamos por partes.

La crisis humanitaria gene-rada por el éxodo masivo deniños y adolescentes de lospaíses centroamericanos aEstados Unidos, que ha traídoa este lado del continente a másde 52 mil almas, es un patéticoejemplo de ello, y por tanto delo mucho que nos falta avanzarcomo seres humanos.

Levantar la mano paraseñalar culpables es muy fácil,y en momentos de crisis comoeste, ese es un comporta-miento reiterativo, los demó-cratas señalan a los republi-canos, los republicanos a losdemócratas, los congresistas selavan las manos y el presidentepide plata, pero al final no pasanada.

Y no va a pasar nada, sisigue primando el comporta-miento egoísta y ciego que nosha regido hasta ahora. Elproblema, para empezar no essolo de Estados Unidos, elproblema es del continente.

En los países emisores depequeños emigrantes, como elSalvador, Honduras y Guate-mala rige la inequidad social, lapobreza avanza rampante y ladelincuencia acampa en lascalles en medio de una inne-gable impunidad. Miles defamilias sufren las conse-cuencias del desmembramientopor diversas causas, una deellas la emigración al país delnorte, lo que deja a los pequeñosen manos de cuidadores im-potentes para alejarlos de las

garras de la violencia o laambición. Muchos terminanalimentando las fauces de lasmaras o huyendo temerosos aun desierto inhóspito que apesar del peligro que encarnaguarda la promesa de la libertad.

Y allí está la falacia, lamentira, el engaño. Porque nohay tal libertad y el sueñoamericano se convierte paralos viajantes en una pesadilla,se traduce en un refugioinhóspito donde con suertecalmaran su sed.

La crisis fronteriza que viveEstados Unidos hoy en día esla consecuencia de su propiaineficiencia, de su incapacidadde legislar y poner orden dentrode sus propios límites. Sihubiese un sistema migratoriomínimamente coherente, lospadres de muchos de los niñosque invaden hoy esos refugiostendrían el estatus legal quemerecen como trabajadores ypodrían traer a sus hijos porvías legales y decentes.

El presidente Barack Obamapide hoy dinero para respondera la crisis y vuelve a hacerpromesas, cuando es evidenteque la reforma migratoria conla que se comprometió no sehará realidad. Pero lo cierto esque en su momento, el presi-dente usó el tema migratoriocomo caballito de batalla paraser elegido y reelegido dentrode la comunidad hispana y alfinal no cumplió. Lo cierto esque Obama le falló a los his-panos, nunca invirtió el capitalpolítico que era necesario parasacar la reforma adelante, comosi lo hizo, por ejemplo, a la horade sacar adelante la reforma a

Una discusión mássabrosa sería ver qué ha“ejecutado” Obama (apartede cientos de miles de civilesen Irán y Afganistán, yaparte de dos millones deinmigrantes indocumentados,claro).

Según su partido, haemitido Órdenes Ejecutivaspara “crear trabajos,aumentar el salario mínimo ycombatir el cambioclimático”, y lo ha tenido quehacer porque losRepublicanos han bloqueadotoda acción en el Congresoque hubiera resuelto esosproblemas.

Esa es una verdad amedias. Considerando losúltimos dos años, las ÓrdenesEjecutivas de Obama nonhan sido nada de lo anterior.Una para mantener la“Iniciativa contra el SIDA”;una para “Combatir elTráfico de AnimalesSalvajes”; otra para crear elConsejo de Asuntos indígenasde la Casa Blanca y otra máspara el Consejo (ojo) para“Asesorar Sobre laCapacidad Financiera de losJóvenes Estadounidenses”.Hay varias para castigargente en Irán, Irak,

Afganistán, Ucrania, elCongo, acusados de“promover (así dicen losdocumentos) la situación” enesos lugares.

Hay una que ha de serimportantísima, para “Abrir yHacer Legible por Máquinasla Información del Gobierno”.

Una de verdad siimportante, es la de febrerode “Acelerar el Proceso deImportaciones yExportaciones”; paraaumentar el Salario mínimode los trabajadores de loscontratistas Federales; y para“Cambiar el Nombre delPersonal de SeguridadNacional al de Personal delConsejo Nacional deSeguridad Nacional”. Unaque tiene que ver con elclima es “Preparar a EstadosUnidos para el ImpactoClimático”, y otra que tal vezafecte la vida de millones depersonas, para “ProhibirCiertas Importaciones deJadeíta y Rubíes de Burma”.La de los salarios si es cierta.Los contratistas federalestienen que pagar ahora$10.10 por hora, aunque sesabe que una de cada tresdemandas de salariosrobados es contra esos

Esta semana, San Diego seconvirtió en la ciudad másgrande de Estados Unidos enaprobar un incremento alsalario mínimo y en el númerode días de enfermedad, peroalgunos grupos de trabajadoresdicen que no es suficientemientras que empresariosdicen que es demasiado.

Durante la junta del Cabildode la Ciudad de San Diego ellunes, 14 de julio, el cabildovotó 6 a 3 a favor de unaordenanza que establecería elsalario mínimo en San Diegoen $11.50 implementado en unperíodo de tres años cada 1 deenero, iniciando con $9.75 enenero 2015, $10.50 en enero2016 y $11.50 en enero 2017.

La ordenanza también in-cluye acceso a cinco días deenfermedad para cientos demiles de trabajadores en SanDiego que actualmente notienen días de enfermedad.

“Este es un gran día para laciudad”, dijo la Regidora MartiEmerald, quien representa elDistrito 9, que incluye a CityHeights, un vecindario diversode familias trabajadoras.

“Los trabajadores tendránmás dinero en sus bolsillos ycuando estén enfermos podránquedarse en casa a descansasen vez de tener que escogerentre trabajar enfermos operder el salario de un día detrabajo”.

El Regidor David Álvarez,del Distrito 8, que incluye áreas

como Barrio Logan y SanYsidro, ambos vecindarios defamilias de escasos recursos,dijo que él ha sido un partidariode los derechos de los traba-jadores, al venir de una familiatrabajadora.

“Estoy orgulloso de apoyarun incremento al salario míni-mo en la Ciudad de San Di-ego”, dijo. “Esto es un con-cepto y una filosofía quesiempre he apoyado –la ideaque todos los sandieguinosmerecen tener días de enfer-medad y un salario para vivir”.

Raise Up San Diego, ungrupo a favor de los derechosde los trabajadores, celebró elincremento al salario mínimo.

“Gracias a los trabajadoresque vinieron y abogaron a fa-vor de los más de 172 milempleados que recibirán unaumento salarial y los 279 milque ahora tendrán días deenfermedad”, publicaron en supágina de Facebook.

Pero no todos los grupos detrabajadores estuvieron total-mente de acuerdo con el incre-mento.

En un comunicado publi-cado días antes que el cabildode San Diego aprobara lamedida el lunes, 14 de julio, laCoalition for Labor and Com-munity Solidarity, un grupo detrabajadores en San Diego, dijoque $11.50 no es suficientepara que los trabajadorespuedan mantener a sus fami-lias.

“CLCS está decepcionadaque el cabildo, bajo el liderazgo

de Todd Gloria, ha disminuidola propuesta anterior de $13.09la hora a $11.50 la hora”, decíael comunicado.

La San Diego RegionalChamber of Commerce tam-bién mostró su descontento alincremento pero por una razóndiferente. La cámara dijo enun comunicado que esto afec-tará a las empresas y que engeneral dañará a San Diego.

“La San Diego RegionalChamber of Commerce siguemuy preocupada de los im-pactos negativos que un incre-mento al salario mínimo man-dado por la ciudad tendrá enlas empresas de San Diego”,dijo en el comunicado JerrySanders, presidente y directorde la cámara de comercio.“Incrementar el salario mínimoy los días de enfermedad enSan Diego va más allá de loque el estado ya ha ordenadoy pone a San Diego en unadesventaja comparada conotras ciudades cercanas”.

Álvarez dijo que mientrasalgunas empresas se puedenoponer al incremento, dijo queél sabe que esto es lo mejorpara las familias sandieguinas.

“He considerado que al-gunas personas tienen miedode lo que pueda pasar despuésde esta ordenanza. Yo temo alo que está pasando ahora”,dijo. “Sé que la gente ahora vaal trabajo enferma, porque notienen otra opción. Creo quetodos queremos un San Diegoprospero y creo que estapolítica logra esa meta”.

Trabajadores celebran, empresarios se oponen alincremento al salario mínimo en SD

ing to choose between goingto work ill or losing a day’spay,” she said.

Councilmember David Al-varez, from District 8, whichincludes areas such as BarrioLogan and San Ysidro, bothworking-class neighborhoods,said that he’s been a strong sup-porter of workers’ right, hav-ing come from a working classfamily.

“I am proud to support theincrease in minimum wage inthe City of San Diego,” he said.“This is a concept and a phi-losophy that I have alwayssupported — the idea that allSan Diegans deserve accessto sick days and a livablewage.”

Raise Up San Diego, agroup in favor of workers’rights, celebrated the minimumwage hike.

“Tonight, Council passed thestrong workforce measure!”posted the group to its Face-book page the night of the vote.“It will raise the local minimumwage to $11.50 per hour andprovide access to 5 earnedsick days for local workers.Thank you especially to theworkers who came and advo-cated on behalf of the morethan 172K who will receive araise and the 279K who willnow have access to earned sickdays.”

But not all workers groupswere thrilled with the hike.

In a statement published be-fore the San Diego City Coun-cil passed the measure onMonday, July 14th, the Coali-tion for Labor and CommunitySolidarity, a group of workersin San Diego, said that $11.50just isn’t enough for workersto support their families.

“CLCS is disappointed thatthe City Council, under theleadership of Todd Gloria, haslowered the previous proposalon the table of $13.09 an hourto $11.50 an hour,” read thestatement. “This was done be-hind closed doors, without con-sultation with community–based groups or with working-class communities in San Di-ego, and apparently only to ap-pease the business community.Workers across the city havetold us that they are worthmore than this proposal andthat it is an unfortunate andunnecessary retreat.”

The San Diego RegionalChamber of Commerce alsovoiced its opinion against theminimum wage increase butfor very different reasons. Thechamber of commerce said ina statement that this will affectbusinesses and overall will hurtSan Diego.

“The San Diego RegionalChamber of Commerce re-mains deeply concerned aboutthe negative impacts a citymandated minimum wage in-crease will have on San Diegobusinesses,” said in a state-ment Jerry Sanders, San Di-ego Regional Chamber ofCommerce President andCEO. “Raising San Diego’sminimum wage and sick leaveabove and beyond what thestate has already mandatedputs San Diego at a competi-tive disadvantage compared to

Dancing After School, queestá registrada como unaorganización sin fines de lucro,está cambiando la manera enque recauda fondos para susprogramas.

Antes, la organización de-pendía en empresas y organi-zaciones grandes para hacerenormes donativos para pro-veer los servicios gratuitos alas escuelas.

Cuando la economía co-menzó a afectar la cantidadque esas empresas y organi-zaciones estaban donando,Dancing After School tuvo quedisminuir el número de clasesque ofrecía, dijo la directoraoperativa, Jeanette Meneses.

“Teníamos que depender engrandes donativos de grandesdonantes para poder sobre-vivir”, dijo. “Era muy limi-tante”.

Los Meneses ahora estáninvitando a la comunidad a serdonantes como parte de larecién lanzada campaña deDancing After School, You +$2 + 2 Friends, en la queusted dona $2 al mes y alientaa dos de sus amigos a hacer lomismo.

“$2 es menos de lo que unogasta en una taza de café yesos $2 pueden hacer una grandiferencia en las vidas de losniños”, dijo Walter Meneses.

Meneses dijo que esperaque este nuevo método pararecaudar fondos, que estánllamando la Donation NetworkDAS, ayudará a la organi-zación a tener un presupuestomás flexible y confiable mien-tras que no tienen que de-pender en grandes donativos,

Chamber is seriously discuss-ing with the business commu-nity the options available to fur-ther oppose the Council’srushed decision that did not givethe public adequate time to re-spond. We will be making adecision as to what option wewill move forward with verysoon.”

Alvarez said that whilesome businesses might opposeto the hike, he said he knowsthis is the best for San Diegofamilies.

I have taken to heart thatsome people are afraid ofwhat’s next with this ordi-nance. I’m afraid of what’snow,” he said. “I know thatpeople go to work sick now,because they don’t have an-other choice. “I believe we allwant a thriving San Diego andI strongly believe this policyachieves that goal.”

aunque continuarán solicitandofondos y becas para las artes.

La meta de Meneses esrecaudar $300,000 antes deque termine este año. Lasclases de baile iniciarán con elnuevo año escolar, en sep-tiembre. Dijo que, en promedio,un programa de 10 semanascuesta a la organización unos$1,400. Añadió que cerca del88 por ciento de los gastos espara cubrir los salarios de losinstructores.

Una de las ventajas dedonar $2 o más es que losdonantes pueden recomendaral momento de hacer su do-nativo que escuela quieren quesea incluida en el programa. Simuchos donantes recomiendanla misma escuela, es muyposible que esa escuela se

they are calling the DonationNetwork DAS, will help theorganization have a more flex-ible and reliable budget whilenot having to depend in big do-nors, although he said they willcontinue to apply to arts grants.

Meneses’ goal is to raise$300,000 through this campaignby the end of the year. Danceclasses will start with the newschool year, in September. Hesaid that, in average, a 10-week program costs the orga-nization about $1,400. Headded that around 88 percentof expenses go to cover in-structors’ salaries.

One of the advantages todonating $2 or more is that do-nors can recommend at thetime they make their donationwhat school they want to beincluded in the program. Ifmany donors recommend thesame school, it is very likelythat school will benefit from thedance lessons, Jeanette Men-eses said.

She added that DancingAfter School will begin pro-moting the donation program inschools throughout the county.

Among the benefits that chil-dren receive through the Dan-cing After School program, area reduction in obesity and anincrease in self-esteem, WalterMeneses said.

“I think people will see thevision of our program and willjoin us,” he said. “Our childrendeserve to have dance in theirlives.”

No Humanitarianism in $3.7 Billion forUnaccompanied Minors at the Border

By Maegan OrtizNEW AMERICA MEDIA

When President Obama announced last weekthat he was going to take executive action onimmigration because immigration reform inCongress was dead and because of the tens ofthousands of Central American unaccompaniedminors just then arriving at our border, manynon-profits heard something different thanwhat the president actually said. One organi-zation even went so far as to call Obama’sannouncement being about “administrative re-lief.”

What Obama actually said last week wasthat the first thing he was doing was askingCongress for $2 billion to divert attention frominterior immigration enforcement to the border.The rest – the promise of relief, the possibleexpansion of DACA, the keeping together offamilies – is something to wait for from theDepartment of Homeland Security.

Meanwhile, as many non-profit organizationsand so called advocacy organizations continueto focus on what Obama could do, there is notenough attention to what he actually is doing.

This week the $2 billion ask became $3.7billion to deal with the crisis. There is little hu-manitarianism in that $3.7 billion dollars. Ac-cording the White House $1.8 billion of thatwill go to Health and Human Services (HHS)to provide care for the children, freeing up moremoney for Border Patrol. From the WhiteHouse Press Fact Sheet released today: “Theproposal would also support the ongoing HHSmedical response activities for unaccompaniedchildren to address the surge at Border Patrolfacilities.” In other words, care that BorderPatrol should be funding itself will be cominginstead from money earmarked for HHS. Therest of the 3.7 billion is specifically for deter-rence, enforcement and “foreign cooperation.”

How the White House defines these termsis interesting. Deterrence means “increased de-tainment and removal of adults with childrenand increased immigration court capacity tospeed cases.” For an administration that hasalways claimed that keeping families togetheris a priority, there is not one line item to actu-ally make this a possibility in the case of theseunaccompanied minors. For example, insteadof money for social workers to help find rela-tives of children who may be in the UnitedStates to help care for the children, instead the“$879 million would pay for detention and re-moval of apprehended undocumented adultstraveling with children, expansion of alterna-tives to detention programs for these individu-als, and additional prosecution capacity foradults with children who cross the border un-lawfully.”

Enforcement means, according to the Officeof Management and Budget that the $879 mil-lion will be used for “the detention, prosecu-tion, and removal of apprehended undocu-mented families.” $109 million would providefor immigration and customs enforcement ef-forts, including expanding the Border Enforce-ment Security Task Force program, doubling

the size of vetted units in El Salvador, Guate-mala, and Honduras, and expanding investiga-tory activities by ICE Homeland Security In-vestigations.”

In other words, this money is intended to havea chilling effect reaching far beyond just thesechildren. It really is an expansion of borderenforcement in general as was outlined in theoften-praised “compromise” bill that passed inthe Senate last summer. Remember, that im-migration reform bill had certain border enforce-ment triggers that needed to be met beforeanyone in the country could adjust their status.It seems like we are getting those border en-forcement triggers without any actual assis-tance to undocumented communities, be theythe kids or families already here.

Enforcement also likely means “$29 millionfor Customs and Border Protection (CBP) toexpand its role in Border Enforcement Secu-rity Task Force programs, increasing informa-tion-sharing and collaboration among the par-ticipating law enforcement agencies combat-ing transnational crime.” This collaboration hasbeen seen in programs like Secure Communi-ties. Information sharing happens via FusionCenters which, according to the Departmentof Homeland Security, are “primary focal pointswithin the state and local environment for thereceipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing ofthreat-related information among federal, state,local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners.”In other words there will be more funding forsurveillance. If that isn’t clear enough, $39.4million is earmarked “to increase air surveil-lance capabilities that would support 16,526additional flight hours for border surveillanceand 16 additional crews for unmanned aerialsystems to improve detection and interdictionof illegal activity.” In other words drones.

While 64 million dollars is being put into add-ing more immigration judges to expedite removalproceedings and expanding legal representa-tion for children in proceedings, there are alsoallocations that have a direct impact in CentralAmerica. “$295 million would support effortsto repatriate and reintegrate migrants to Cen-tral America,” meaning more money is beingspent to send people back rather than makingsure people here receive due process.

Another $5 million would support “State De-partment media campaigns in Mexico, Guate-mala, El Salvador, and Honduras, targeting po-tential migrants and their families.” This so-called preventative measure does little to im-prove conditions in Central America, caused inpart by existing U.S. drug and free trade poli-cies as well as the historic political and militarylegacy connected to past U.S. interventions inthe region.

Allegedly, some of these funds will be usedfor “youth programs to develop skills and lead-ership among potential migrants.” What thatactually means – including who will run andmonitor these programs – is unanswered.

Maegan Ortiz writes for the blogVivirLatino, where this commentary origi-nally appeared.

As a newspaper a lot of pressreleases cross our desk in-forming us of the currentevents, national happenings,

public policy, etcetera. Lately, we havebeen seeing a lot of press releases an-nouncing newly completed bikeways inSan Diego. Many come have come witha hefty price tag, such as the Mission Val-ley bike path, which cost $11 million.We are also seeing a lot of check pre-sentations to start new bikeways andskateboard parks.

Bike paths and skateboard parks arenice amenities and add to the quality oflife of any community. We won’t arguethat point. But we have to question thepriority placed on these types of projectsversus the necessities of sidewalkswhere there are none and street lamps tobrighten dark and possibly dangerous ar-eas.

As a Hispanic newspaper we look at theneeds of our communities. We find itfrustrating that the communities with thegreatest needs for basic services, ser-vices that should be provided by the city,are forsaken so that the city can providequality of life amenities for the moreaffluent parts of the city.

For example, just a few weeks ago wepublished a story with the District Eightcouncil representative, David Alvarez,announcing plans to move forward onsidewalks for Otay Mesa Road. OtayMesa Road is the link between the highschool and the closest housing tract. Butthere are no sidewalks. Students walk-ing to school have to deal with cars andtrucks coming around blind corners asthe kids walk on the dirt path right nextto the roadway. This has been an on-go-ing issue for years.

The news of the sidewalk plan for OtayMesa Road was good, the only problemwas there was no check presentation tokick off this project. The plan had beenapproved and it was a priority, but themost important ingredient needed, the

money, was a no-show.So we went on the City’s web site to

take a look at the budget and projects forfiscal year 2015 and sure enough therewas the Otay Mesa Rd project approvedand listed as a priority, but under thefunding tag it was listed as: “This an-ticipated funding is currently shown asunidentified”. So all the community hasto date is a promise, nothing more.

As we continued to look down the listof projects projected and/or alreadystarted in Districts 8 and 4, we noted veryfew projects for District 4. MeanwhileDistrict 8 had their fair share of projects,but very few were listed as high priorityand even fewer were funded to start infiscal year 2015.

We also noted a high number ofprojects slated for District 1, La Jolla/Torrey Pines area and there are a lot ofbike pathway projects, with almost ev-ery bike project listed as a high priority,funded, or to be completed this year.

We are disturbed that the city was will-ing to spend $6 million dollars on RoseCreek Bikeway in Mission Beach, whichis now completed, but can’t find thefunding for a $2.5 million dollar projectin San Ysidro. The community has beenclamoring for a sidewalk for over a de-cade so that their children can walksafely to school. Something is wronghere when a Saturday afternoon bike ridealong the shoreline outweighs the needof public safety. Priorities are back-wards.

In his inaugural acceptance speech inSoutheast San Diego, District 4, MayorFaulconer’s message was one of a mu-nicipal reawakening with vows to payspecial attention to neighborhoods, pub-lic safety and infrastructure needs. Hehas made sure that the amenities havebeen taken care of in the affluent neigh-borhoods. Now it is time to shift his pri-orities and live up to his promise of pub-lic safety and infrastructure in the lessaffluent communities!

Mayor Faulconer needs to live up to hispromises

Immigration reform could enablesoldiers to serve

By Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba (ret)

For my father and me, as for many thou-sands of Filipinos who have served in the U.S.armed forces, one of our major contributionsto this country was our military service.

My father fought in World War II in the Phil-ippines, as a private in the Philippine Scouts inFebruary 1942 under the command of the UnitedStates Army Force Far East as directed byPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 26,1941.

He was captured at Bataan along with 72,000troops. The prisoners endured the BataanDeath March where many died along the way.In July 1945, he was repatriated into USAFFEcommand. He was offered the opportunity tobecome a U.S. citizen, an opportunity he hon-orably accepted.

Like many immigrants in the United States,my father wanted a better life for his family,and he happily served the country that providedthose opportunities. He retired from the Armyin June 1962 as a sergeant first class.

I came to the United States through Hawaiiin 1961, and became a naturalized citizen in1962. Following in my father’s tradition, I joinedmy high school’s Junior Army ROTC programfor three years, and continued through collegefor another four years. In May 1972, I wascommissioned as a second lieutenant in theU.S. Army. I served in the Army for 34 years,deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2003-2004,served at every level of command and staffpositions, and eventually retired as a two-stargeneral in January 2007.

A few months ago, Republican leadership re-fused to allow a vote on the ENLIST Act as anamendment to the National Defense Authori-zation Act, and it’s unclear whether leadershipwill allow it to come to the floor as a stand-

alone bill. For me, this is a personal issue, not apolitical one, and it goes to the core of our val-ues as a nation — patriotism, honor, courage,integrity and selfless service.

For those of us who have served this coun-try and continue to answer the call to duty, thosewilling to fight for our freedom should be al-lowed to be United States citizens.

My father and I proudly served our countrywith honor and dignity. The ENLIST Act wouldprovide a path to citizenship for dreamers —young undocumented immigrants — who arewilling to serve and fight. Like my father and I,dreamers came to the United States from an-other country, and like us they want to giveback and help protect the country they call home.We are willing to serve in uniform, to protectour way of life at home, and sacrifice our livesfor others. Serving our country in uniform meansguaranteeing our mission with our lives.

It’s been a year since the Senate passed abipartisan comprehensive immigration reformbill, and Republicans in the House remain hell-bent on blocking any kind of progress on re-form.

Republicans keep saying they support fixingour broken immigration system, but they’remore interested in catering to the far-right Re-publicans than doing what’s right. Republicans’inaction on this issue is outrageous, and theirrhetoric is insulting and distasteful.

I see immigration reform as a nonpartisanbut important issue to all Americans whose im-migrant ancestors came to America looking fora better life.

The ENLIST Act is the bare minimum wecan do on this issue and there is no reason Re-publicans shouldn’t move at the very least thatpiece of legislation.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I have somequestions and observations. DuringGeorge, W. Bush’s administration, therewas a lot of talk for and againstcomprehensive immigration reform(amnesty to some). One remark that Irecall was stated by a Mexican thatwent something like, “Go back toEurope!!!!” Aren’t Mexicans ofEuropean descent also? Hello,colonized by Spain. I thought to myself,“Why don’t you go back to Europe?Unless you are puro indio, your rootsfrom Europe also.” Immigration reformaside, what are your thoughts on goingback to Europe?

Murrieta Maven

Dear Gabacha: Eh, we say that just toshow how stupid gabachos yelling, “Goback to Mexico!” sounds. The onlyMexicans who truly believe gabachosshould head back to Europe are indigenazitypes who claim they’re the pureblooded15th linear descendant ofCuauhtémoc…while sporting facial hairstraight from Extremadura.

Do Indians mangle Spanish as badas they do English when you call a techsupport line? What I like aboutMexicans is, they are honest with you ifthey don’t understand what you justsaid. They ask you to say it again. Andif you don’t understand a Mexican whois nobly attempting to learn thatuniversal second language that isEnglish, they try to say it again, morecorrectly. And Mexicans are gratefulwhen you have helped them understandEnglish a little bit better so they cancommunicate with you, withoutdemanding you learn Spanish in return.Even in Mexico, Mexicans don’t mind ifyou don’t understand Spanish; theyalways take care that everybody cancommunicate with each other even if itmeans they speak English in Mexico toa tourist whose Spanish vocabulary islimited to the Taco Bell menu.

If theydon’t get it right onthe first try, then Ihave found that you should immediatelyhang up and call back hoping forsomebody who can understand English.I have paid cancellation fees andreturned electronics items only becauseof tech support that seems onlyinterested in a sort of passive-aggressive jihad.

So back to my question: How doesa Mexican deal with Indian techsupport? Do you have some wisdom onhow to navigate non-native speakerswithout having a stroke, Oh He WhoAlways Knows To Press Eight ForSpanish?

An American Consumer

Dear Gabacho: We press “2”.

What do you think about justopening the U.S.-Mexico border (andfor that matter all the borders in theworld)? I think that a lot of people thatgo the U.S. illegally would much ratherwork in the U.S. for a few months andthen go back to their home in Mexicoand live off of the earnings for a while.You are a smart guy. I’m just curiouswhat you think!

Bordering on a Bonus

Dear Gabacho: The Mexican hasalways been for open borders, if onlybecause that’s been the American mantrasince the days of Daniel Boone. I’d saymore, but my column’s word count getsslashed every five years or so due to thedeath of print—yay, Internet! In other news[cut cut cut]

Enmendar o no enmendar. Esa es la pregunta.La Ley de 2008 de Protección a Víctimas de

Tráfico de Personas está al centro del debatepolítico para encarar la crisis de los niñosmigrantes. Dicha ley concede protecciones le-gales y humanitarias a menores migrantes depaíses que no tienen frontera con EstadosUnidos.

En la caótica cobertura del flujo de menoresen la frontera ya han comenzado a presentarsehistorias que intentan buscar las verdaderasrazones del éxodo de menores, lo cual va másallá de repetir lo que ciertos sectores quierenhacer creer: que la Acción Diferida de 2012para jóvenes indocumentados, los Soñadores,es la razón central de la crisis. DACA tienefecha límite y quienes ingresen ahora nocualifican. Además, el flujo de menorescomenzó a intensificarse desde 2011 cuandotodavía DACA no se anunciaba. Ya hay máscuestionamiento a quienes dicen que lo ocurridodemuestra que no hay control en la frontera;una falacia, considerando que estos migrantesse están entregando voluntariamente a laPatrulla Fronteriza. Se cuestiona a quienes dicenque la administración no está aplicando las leyesy que por eso el fenómeno persiste.

Este punto es especialmente irónico porqueel gobierno, al detener, albergar y procesar aestos menores centroamericanos, está apli-cando la ley de 2008 promulgada por elpresidente republicano George W. Bush. Losrepublicanos dicen que Obama no aplica lasleyes, pero ahora la ley que aplica no les gustaaunque hayan votado por ella.

Los republicanos quieren enmendar o revocarla ley de 2008 buscando, como en el caso delos menores mexicanos, la deportación expeditade los menores centroamericanos. La CasaBlanca también quiere “flexibilidad” bajo la leypara agilizar la repatriación de los menores.Temen que sigan llegando con la idea de queser detenidos supone la permanencia automáticaen Estados Unidos. Empero, la oposición delegisladores demócratas ha puesto un freno, porahora, a la petición. Muchos demócratasprefieren que se atienda la petición de fondospara encarar la crisis y que los cambios depolítica pública se atiendan por separado.

Si la ley de 2008 no se enmienda, eso suponeque estos menores, aunque no todos, seríanentregados a sus guardianes en Estados Unidosen tanto se procesan sus casos; lo cual, muchasveces, puede tomar de tres a cinco años, porqueya hay un rezago en los tribunales deinmigración que estaban atendiendo miles decasos previos a la crisis.

Un sector argumenta que enmendar la leypara lograr la deportación expedita de losmenores frenará a otros que intenten llegar paraentregarse a la Patrulla Fronteriza. El senadorrepublicano de Arizona, John McCain, autor deuno de dos proyectos del Senado que buscanenmendar la ley del 2008, dijo que “lo únicoque detendrá a estos niños es si sus padres ven

los aviones llegando llenos de ellos a sus paísesde origen”.

Si la ley de 2008 se enmienda, muchos temenque eso suponga que los niños sean repatriadosa la violencia de sus países y a una muertesegura. El gobernador de Maryland, MartinO’Malley, posible contendiente por la nomi-nación presidencial demócrata en 2016, declaróque “va en contra de todo lo que defendemosel tratar de enviar sumariamente a niños a sumuerte”.

¿Qué hacer? No me cabe la menor duda deque la actual no es una crisis migratoria sino derefugiados y como tal debe ser tratada. Estosniños deben tener acceso a asistencia legal, aplantear sus casos debidamente ante jueces deinmigración y funcionarios expertos en asilo paratratar de obtener el alivio que les permitarescatar lo que puedan de sus vidas, tras sushorríficos primeros años de formación en paísesviolentos y después del infierno que han tenidoque vivir para llegar a esta orilla.

Sus testimonios son desgarradores. Huyende las narcopandillas que controlan vecindariosy regiones enteras, que buscan reclutarlos, quelos violan y que matan a mansalva. Huyenporque sus propios gobiernos no pueden o nointentan protegerlos. Un reporte de la Agenciade Refugiados de la Organización de lasNaciones Unidas (ONU) encontró que nomenos de 58% de estos menores enfrentancondiciones que ameritan protección inter-nacional. Las peticiones de asilo de nacionalesde Honduras, Guatemala y El Salvador no sólose han disparado en Estados Unidos sino enotros países centroamericanos, lo que com-prueba el temor a la violencia y no la intenciónde venir a territorio estadounidense motivadospor programas como DACA. Hay tambiénotras opciones, como por ejemplo, otorgarlesun parole por razones humanitarias.

Quienes utilizan esta crisis para acumularpuntos con su base, como han hecho muchosrepublicanos, prefieren ignorar el fuego que haceaños arde en el patio trasero de Estados Unidos.Un fuego alimentado por cuestionables políticasestadounidenses hace décadas, por la corrupciónde gobiernos aliados de este país y por lanarcoviolencia que alimenta el mercado deconsumidores de drogas también en este país.

Hay quienes dicen que Estados Unidos nopuede dejar entrar a todo mundo. Y que si losque han entrado se quedan, le seguirán otrosmiles que busquen el mismo trato. Pero sonniños y una crisis humanitaria merece unasolución humanitaria. Estados Unidos esperaque en otras regiones del mundo diversasnaciones alberguen refugiados de paísesvecinos, particularmente niños que huyen deguerras.

No hacer lo propio con niños de países vecinosque vienen huyendo de guerras no con-vencionales sería predicar la moral encalzoncillos.

Quite a few folks pretty upset over therecent comments made by EnriqueMorones when he threw community activistunder the bus. In a recent UT interviewpraising the Border Patrol for their“compassion” with the recent children influx,Morones, never one to turn down aninterview opportunity, stated: “Some people,for the first time, are seeing the human sideof the Border Patrol. They’re human beingsjust like anybody else.” He went on to say“Are there incidents when they’ve beenabusive? There’s incidents when activistshave been abusive...” Hijole, Morones canyou name one time where an activists hasshot, killed, tazared, beat, rape, unlawfullyarrested, anyone????

Does Morones consider himself one ofthose “activits” who have been abusive???Morones has quickly become a parody ofhimself with all his self-congratulatory emailsthat he sends out about his latest, greatestaccomplishment….

Of course not to be out done comedianPaul Rodriguez was on CNN the otherday stating that the children should beshipped back home in order to discourageparents from sending anymore to the border.Rodriguez in hot water, went on a Spanishlanguage TV station to try and explainhimself… hell he said it on CNN he shouldexplain himself on CNN…

Then there is Arizona’s StateRepresentative and tea party candidate,Adam Kwasman, who confused YMCAcampers for immigrants. As a candidate forcongress he thought he would ride the waveof hate when he found out that a smallfacility out in the county was going to host afew children, Kwasman rallied the Tea

partiers to meet the bus. The only problemwas, the bus that showed up was a yellowschool bus with local kids going to camp. Ofcourse these Tea party folks were soblinded by hate, didn’t even notice and theystarted scream at the kids….

Kwasman, tweeted from the scene: “Buscoming in. This is not compassion. This isthe abrogation of the rule of law.” Kwasmanwent to say that there was fear in thechildren’s eyes. A reporter on the scene saidit wasn’t fear… they were laughing at themand taking cell phone shots… and this guywants to be a congressman, heaven helpus!!!

Speaking of people who shouldn’t beholding public office we have BerthaLopez who is going back to court onFriday, July 18, to see if she can’t get thejudge to re-instate her as a board memberat Sweetwater… rumblings are that she willget her way… she is banking on the fact thather crimes are FPPC crimes and thatkicking her out would set a badprecedent… putting her back on the boardwould be a BAD precedent!!!

Hopefully she is out so folks whodeserving to be a representative of thepeople can be elected….

It looks like the Chula Vista LearningCommunity Charter School is trying topull a fast on the community and get the rightto move into the old Social Security buildingon Third Ave without going through theproper community vetting process, theRFPs, and public meetings… The ChulaVista business association is a bit peevedabout the whole deal…. Is the middle of abusiness district the best place for a highschool, no recreation fields which means nophysical education, no sports teams, noparking, and student drop off and pick upwould be pure hell for everybodyconcerned…. Hopefully this idea will get aresponsible review and public input before itbecomes a reality as some sort of backroomdeal…

A pocos meses de las elecciones intermediasen Estados Unidos, las estrategias de lospartidos políticos ya tienen una fisonomía clara.Los republicanos saben lo que buscan y tienenmuy claro lo que quieren; lo mismo que losdemócratas. Los dos partidos políticos estánencaminados en un dominio pleno del Congresoen este noviembre venidero. ¿Haber quién lologra?

En base a lo percibido recientemente, losrepublicanos sienten que han encontrado unarespuesta contundente a la cuestión migratoria,especialmente a la impotencia de no generaruna política que absorba a sectores delelectorado latino al seno de su partido.

La crisis de los niños y adolescentesindocumentados les ha dotado de un elementocircunstancial, esencialmente coyuntural que,de alguna manera, ha producido un amal-gamiento entre la derecha y algunos sectoresmoderados del espectro político norte-americano.

No en balde el representante demócrata deTexas, Henry Cuellar, se unió con el senadorrepublicano, John Cornyn, también de Texas,para acelerar el proceso de deportación de másde 52.000 niños y adolescentes indocumentadosdetenidos en diversos retenes de migraciones.

Ante este cúmulo de variantes políticas quese gestan en la sociedad norteamericana lo másprobable es que los republicanos mantengancontrol de la Cámara de Representantesdespués de las elecciones de noviembre. Porsu parte, es poco probable que a los demó-cratas les alcance los votos suficientes en losllamados swing states (estados impredecibles)

para mantener mayoría en el Senado.Lo anterior significa que la reforma migratoria

integral que beneficiaría a millones de latinosde raíces mexicanas, centroamericanas y deotros países de América Latina y del mundo,no tendrán la oportunidad de regularizar suestado migratorio. Es decir, en lo que queda dela Administración Obama, muy poco o tal veznada se va a lograr en términos de políticasmigratorias.

Sin embargo, no todo está perdido para lacomunidad latina. El peso de su votonormalmente se hace notar durante laselecciones presidenciales. De acuerdo arecientes cálculos, se estima que el porcentajedel electorado latino aumentará en laselecciones presidenciales de 2016. En el estadode Nuevo México, del total que votó en 2012,40% perteneció a los latinos. Se estima que en2016 subirá a 42%. En Texas, en 2012 fue de27%, mientras que en 2016 llegará a 29%. Enlos estados considerados swing states, comoFlorida, Colorado y Nevada, el número delatinos votantes también subirá en un 2% en2016.

Si los republicanos pretenden volver a la CasaBlanca en 2016, su dirigencia va a tener queadoptar una política más racional frente a loslatinos. De lo contrario, la llegada demócrataHillary Rodham Clinton a la primera magistra-tura del gobierno es un hecho muy realizable.Sería la primera mujer presidente gracias alapoyo del voto de los latinos y especialmentedel electorado moderado y las mujeres.

crying with joy because of mypresence. Some said to methings like, ‘Someone is finallyspeaking for us… talking truth.’Being a voice for immigrantshas been a truly humbling ex-perience. I want to do thingsright. I don’t want it to be a fi-asco. I don’t want to mess itup.

LR: They had no idea. I’msure it ruined their day to readand hear in the news about whoI am and what happened to me.

EE: Has the Mayor or anyother Murrieta officials triedto contact you?

LR: The mayor tried to makepeace with me. During his nearapology, he said somethingabout illegals breaking the law.I asked the mayor to take agood look around. I pointed toa black man, another who ap-peared to be Caucasian andthen to some Latinos. How canhe be so sure that only theLatinos are illegal? He can’tand shouldn’t make those as-sumptions. Look, I understandthe mayor saying that residentshave the right to exercise theirconstitutional rights. He sayshe’s proud of that. But with allthe constitutional rights andfreedom of speech we do have,it does not give them to shovepeople or spit on them.

EE: What do you think isat the heart of all thisMurrieta controversy?

EE: Have you written asong about Murrieta?

LR: No and I’m not sure Iwill go that route. Right now,for me, it’s all about securingthe safety and future of thechildren being deported.

turmoil and showing theworld that all people of allethnicities matter in America.

Murrieta’s border crisis isnot going to go away any timesoon. As for Lupillo Rivera, hecontinues to say he is in it forthe long haul, ready to defendand ensure that undocumentedimmigrant children are shieldedfrom the shameful and sicken-ing anti-immigration senti-ments.

If all this is true, why has solittle attention been paid to awomen’s soccer team that sowell deserves it?

There are two obvious barri-ers to contend with. The first isthat women’s sports, across theboard, do not receive nearly asmuch attention as men’s sports,regardless of the type. The sec-ond is that soccer as a sport isnot widely watched in the U.S.,regardless of what any WorldCup hype may indicate. Ac-cording to a Harris Poll pub-lished by ESPN, “in 2014, 35percent of fans call the NFLtheir favorite sport, followed byMajor League Baseball (14 per-cent), college football (11 per-cent), auto racing (7 percent),the NBA (6 percent), the NHL(5 percent) and college basket-ball (3 percent).” Soccer didn’teven make the list.

FAMILY FEATURES

Brown bag lunches and back to school go hand in hand. As you’re gearing up for the start of a new school year,

it’s the perfect time to stock the pantry with healthy sack lunch options and after school snacks, too.

While schools across the nation are adopting new U.S. Department of Agriculture standards to increase kids’ access

to healthy food, parents who pack lunch at home can take similar steps to reinvent the traditional brown bag into a

more nutritious (and fun) lunch that kids will enjoy.

But weighing the nutritional value of different foods at the grocery store can be confusing and time consuming.

Many food retailers are providing tools such as the NuVal Nutritional Scoring System, which uses a scale of 1 to

100 to depict nutritional values at a glance, to help make choices easier. In stores using the NuVal system, food scores

are included on grocery store price tags, making it easy to compare options. Higher scores represent foods with higher

nutritional value.

Food scores can simplify the process of building a brown bag lunch that is better for the kids. “I always recom mend

small steps to parents,” said Marisa Paolillo, a NuVal nutritionist. “A good place to start is swapping the same types

of food. For instance, NuVal scores for yogurt can range from 7 to 100, depending on sugar content and other factors.

It’s easy to swap a low-scoring product for a higher one, and kids probably won’t notice the difference.”

Paolillo also recommends talking with your kids about the choices you make at the grocery store. Engaging them in

the selection process teaches them to make better selections for themselves, such as when they are making meal choices

in the lunch cafeteria or snacking with friends after school.

You can learn more about the NuVal scoring system at www.nuval.com, where you also can find recipes and food

swap ideas for school lunches and other meals for the whole family.

DECODING LABELSThe NuVal Nutritional Scoring System allowsyou to see the nutritional value of food ongrocery shelves at a glance and easily comparefood options to make nutritious choices.

Q What does a NuVal score tell me?

A Food is scored on a scale of 1 to 100.

Although there is no “magic score” to

aim for, the higher the score, the better

the nutrition.

Q What nutrients and factors affecta food’s NuVal score?

A Each score reflects the overall nutritional

quality of a food or beverage. It takes into

account the quality of calories derived

from more than 30 nutrients that have

both favorable (i.e. fiber, Omega 3,

vitamins and minerals) and non-favorable

(i.e. saturated fat, transfat, sodium and

sugar) health impacts.

Q Where can I find a NuVal score?

A NuVal scores are displayed directly on

shelf price tags in the grocery store, so

you can compare overall nutrition the

same way you compare price. Find a

participating store, shopping tips or

scores for many common grocery items

at www.nuval.com.

After School SNACKSAfter-school snacks need to be satisfy ing and fun, but not full of sugar, salt andunneeded fat. Help your kids snack smarterwith these tips.

� Encourage kids to invent their own snack mixes by combining dry, whole-grain cereal, dried fruit and unsalted nuts or seeds.

� Serve apples with nuts and raisins (astemperatures chill, try baking apples for a warm and delicious treat).

� Offer frozen juice bars made from blendedfresh fruit or 100 percent juice. Invite thekids to participate by making their ownconcoctions adding whole or crushed berries or bananas for added nutrition.

SANDWICH Switch-upBrown bag sandwiches don’t have to beboring. Swap a traditional sandwich for one of these two fresh takes from NuVal.

� Pair humus dip with whole-grain breadpoints or multi-grain tortilla chips. Addbaby carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoesand cubed (1/3 cup) low-fat cheddar cheesechunks for dipping.

� Mix together 1/3 cup low-fat cheddarcheese with shredded lettuce and tomatoes.Add flavor with black olives and fresh salsaor guacamole, then roll into a corn tortilla orwhole-grain pita wrap.
