Child Migrants and Media Half-TruthsBy Laura Carlsen

There’s been a blitz of stories overthe past couple of weeks on childmigrants arriving on the U.S.’s south-ern border. For many of us in Mexico,this is not new. But US press atten-tion to it is relatively new, as onemajor media outlet after another fea-tures stories on the plight of unac-companied minors.

It’s certainly positive that thesechildren do not remain invisible. Whatthey go through should be cause forindignation on a global level. The Of-fice of the UN High Commissionerfor Refugees issued a report lastMarch that found that half had ex-perienced or been threatened withserious harm on the journey north.

But most of these mainstreampress stories are telling half-truthsabout child victims, while muddlingor downright manipulating the ques-tion of who and what is responsible.

The New York Times, AP and oth-ers outlets have been running storiesthat follow a pattern of emphasizingtwo general conclusions. One, thatparents in the United States are self-ishly and irresponsibly encouragingthis phenomenon and putting theirown children at risk by sending themnorth and, two, that more children aremigrating to the United States be-cause they perceive Obama admin-istration policies and practices as le-nient on child migrants and think theyhave a good chance of staying–evenif they get caught.

Although most of these storiesmention conditions of poverty and vio-lence in the places where the chil-dren come from, they almost nevermention how these places have be-

come so poor and violent, or muchless the direct role that U.S. foreignpolicy has played in making them thatway and forcing the children to leave.

To give a few examples: In Aprilthe NYT ran a story on child migra-tion focused on a 12 year-old Ecua-dorean girl who apparently commit-ted suicide in a shelter in CiudadJuarez, Mexico. The article stressedthe grandparents’ reluctance to let hergo and the insistence of the parents,who live in New York. It describedthe lone terror of the girl and her bodyfound in the shower. It did not delveinto the circumstances or the allega-tions that Mexican police captured herbefore her arrival at the shelter, orwhy her parents could not provide fortheir family in Ecuador.

Readers were left with the im-pression that it was the parents’ fault,not a system of injustice that stretchedfrom the Andes to the US-Mexicoborder.

This induced conclusion was re-flected in the gist of many of the hun-dreds of comments on the page thatexpressed genuine compassion forthe death of the dark-eyed child inindigenous dress, but also many varia-tions on this comment: “The parentsare at the root of this crime”.

An AP story June 3 leads with a14 year-old boy heading north withfriends, saying that he had heard thatminors were being allowed to stay inthe U.S. Alhough the story later men-tions the conditions of violence in hisnative Honduras, again there is nocontext and the boys seem to be go-ing to the border to take advantageof the US government’s largesse–amessage that is inflaming anti-immi-grant forces.

The AP follows up with this inter-pretation in a June 6 story stating thethesis explicitly: “Rumors of asylumraise hopes for migrant families”.These stories present anecdotal evi-dence of the thesis that the spike in

child migration is due to hopes of be-ing allowed to stay, in the form of in-terviews that often appear to havebeen reporter-led into giving this as

My appreciation for Latin Jazz, es-pecially the West Coast style, startswith and branches out from twopeople: Cal Tjader, vibraphonist, com-poser, arranger and Poncho Sanchez,master conguero, arranger, composerand vocalist. Cal Tjader helped intro-duce Latin Jazz to a broader audienceutilizing the compositions of old mas-ter like Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo,Charlie Parker and others restruc-tured with Latin stylings. PonchoSanchez with his appreciation for theold masters and his own innovationshas taken it to another level. What hehas done for Latin jazz, in his perfor-mances as a percussionist andbandleader is reflected in his GrammyLifetime Achievement award.

The story of how Poncho Sanchezwas picked to be in Cal Tjaders bandis as fascinating as the musical col-laboration between Tjader and Pon-cho. Sanchez played for Cal Tjaderfrom 1975 until his death in Manila,1982. According to Poncho, he wasplaying in a neighborhood R&B bandat a place called the Latin AmericanPress Club in Pico Rivera. Betweensets, an older White guy, approacheshim and says “Hey man you arepretty good on congas,” thanks re-plied Poncho and didn’t give it anotherthought.

A week later the same guy comesback to hear the band and at the breakhe again approaches Poncho, thistime he says, “Listen I’m a friend ofCal Tjader and I am going to tell himabout you.” Sure and my uncle isBabe Ruth, thought Poncho to him-self. He did, for some reason remem-ber the old white guy’s name; it was“Ernie Steels”. A couple of monthslater he hears that Cal Tjader is play-ing at a club in Redondo Beach. Pon-cho and his wife buy tickets, they sitdown to watch the show, when outof nowhere, here comes the old whiteguy Ernie Steels with Cal Tjader. ErnieSteels introduces Cal to Poncho, itturns out that Ernie had been in theNavy with Cal Tjader. Cal Tjader tellsPoncho that every time he comes toLos Angeles several people tell himabout how great a conga player he is

Hey Conguero-Poncho Sanchez

and would he like to sit in. When,asked Poncho? Tonight replied Cal.Halfway thru his set Cal Tjader an-nounces that tonight I have a friendwho is gonna play a little conga forus ladies and gentleman, Mr. Poncho

Sanchez! He expected to do just onenumber, instead Cal had him do theentire show. He was so pleased withhis performance that Cal told Poncho,the next time he is playing in LosAngeles, he is going to use him in hisband.

Sure enough about a month laterCal Tjader called Poncho Sanchezand said “Hey man I’m going to be dwn in LA on New Year’s Eve at the -Coconut Grove at the Ambassador -Hotel opposite Carmen McCrae, I wnt you to play New Year’s,” of couse replied Poncho. Despite being n-ervous in the beginning, Poncho’s per-formance was excellent. Afterward Cal tells him, we have a four day gg in San Diego at Tom Ham’s Lighhouse and I want you to play there wih us, as a matter of fact I want you n the band, can you do it? Poncho as so excited when he answered yes that he forgot to ask how much itpaid. Tjader recognizing it tells him,would $300 a week be ok? Sure re-plied Poncho considering that he wasworking in foundry in Norwalk for$150.00 a week.

Alexander Blanco arrived atthe University of San Diego afew years ago as a living di-chotomy.

He came to San Diego viaWashington to do what wasright as a son. At the behest ofhis brother, he came south tohelp provide long-term carefor their ailing father. All thewhile, Alex was married to hishigh school sweetheart whowas in her final year of PhDclasses at Washington StateUniversity and with whom hehas three children.

Somehow, for a year, thecouple made the separationwork. Alex applied, receivedscholarships and got into USDas a transfer student. He wentback to Washington a fewtimes to spend time with hisown family — “I made it tosporting events and birthdays,”he said — but he knew thiscouldn’t continue.

The day after USD’s finalexams ended last May, he wentback to Washington to help hiswife move the family to SanDiego. His wife now teachesat San Diego Mesa Commu-nity College while finishing upher dissertation. Their children,ages 17, 13 and 9, are in school,the oldest now looking at col-leges. Alex, 36, a combat vet-eran who served 10 years inthe U.S. Marine Corps, is ajunior marine science majorand Spanish minor who is ex-pected to graduate in 2016.

Rewarding ResearcherThis month, in what seems

like a reward for the effortBlanco put into balancing ev-erything, he was named one of10 recipients for a nationalCouncil on UndergraduateResearch (CUR) GeosciencesDivision Award of Excellencein Student Research.

Though Blanco said he was“shocked” to win this honor,the least surprised were thoseat USD who’ve supported himand have been inspired by hisdetermination.

“Alex tackles challengeswith curiosity, enthusiasm andability — and he never com-plains. He is a role model to hispeers and he appreciates andacknowledges their contribu-tions as researchers. He makesscience engaging, understand-able and enjoyable for every-one,” said Shelley Barajas-Leyva, director for USD’sTRiO McNair Scholars pro-gram, which Blanco belongs,too. “Our staff was not sur-prised when he won the award.We are proud of him and hisscholarly abilities. Alex is agenuine, hard-working, humbleand inspirational leader with agreat sense of humor.”

It was Blanco’s facultymentor, Marine Science Pro-fessor Drew Talley, who of-fered him the chance to workon a research project focused

National Award Bolsters Blanco’s USD Experienceon the increasingly commonoccurrence of Manila clams inSouthern California estuaries.The work Blanco did wasphysically demanding, aca-demically challenging andhighly intriguing scientifically.He accepted the research taskwithout hesitation and hasthrived.

“This work would literallynot have been completed with-out Alex’s hard work,” Talleysaid. “He tackled a field- andlab-intensive project that shedsnew light on an invasive spe-cies’ spread in San Diego’sMission Bay, the results ofwhich have now been ac-cepted for publication in an in-ternational journal.”

Blanco’s reliability and abil-ity to balance impressed Talley.“He managed this in additionto his duties as a father, hus-band and as an undergraduatetaking a full class load of diffi-cult courses. Amazingly, he hasdone all of this with incrediblygood cheer.”

So when the opportunity tonominate a student for theCUR award arose, USD Ma-rine Science Professor Beth-any O’Shea submitted Blan-co’s name with full endorse-ment of department colle-agues.

“Alex is an exceptional re-searcher, leader, and rolemodel for his peers,” O’Shea’srecommendation said. “He isincredibly driven, takes initia-tive, works independently, andis dogged. He did ‘ridiculous’amounts of difficult fieldwork,volunteered to do additionalfieldwork on other projects, andthen spent many a late nightand weekend processingsamples and working up data.We believe Alexander repre-sents the mission and values ofour institution with both prideand honor and it is with greatpleasure that the Departmentof Marine Science and Envi-ronmental Studies nominatehim for the award.”

Making a DifferenceThe CUR honor deepened

the immense respect Blancohas for USD, for donors whoprovided scholarship supportand the unwavering support ofTalley, Barajas-Leyva, andmany others.

“When my wife and I foundout, it was a shock, but it’s suchan honor,” he said. “To knowyou have a whole departmentbacking you is heartwarming.To work hard for a guy wholed you to the project, to getrecognized, and for my men-tor to say I helped with his re-search and this is acknow-ledgement for those late nightsin the lab and being away frommy family, it is so cool to havea professor who does that.”

Blanco stays active at USD.He participated in activities withUniversity Ministry and is a stu-dent mentor at Mark TwainHigh School and MontgomeryMiddle School through the Cen-

ter for Awareness, Service andAction (CASA). He is thepresident of USD’s Society forthe Advancement of Chicanosand Native Americans in Sci-ence (SACNAS) chapter andhas sought to make the lattermore inclusive on campus.

“It’s an organization thatprovides opportunities for mi-norities in science,” Blanco saidof SACNAS, “but if they wantdiversity, they too have to opentheir doors. It needs to be ev-ery color of the rainbow soeveryone can be present.”

Next up for Blanco are sum-mer research presentations atthe UC Berkeley McNair Sym-posium and UC San DiegoResearch Conference as wellas SACNAS’ national confer-ence this October in Los An-geles. Opportunities throughMcNair Scholars and SAC-NAS are pointing him to gradu-ate school and, potentially, asa college professor. He ad-mires Talley’s mentoring, likesto work with others, enjoyshaving his family back togetherand continues to care for hisfather.

Blanco looks at the research

work he’s done and can com-pare it favorably with thetough decision he made a fewyears ago.

“Digging clams for monthson end was hard work. It wasphysical labor. It put a toll onmy body and on the familywhen I’m spending time awayfrom them. But, at the end ofa day’s work, you’re doing it

to make things better. You’reworking for something that’sbigger than you. The researchat Mission Bay is to restore abalance between human in-volvement and getting back tonature. I was sore for a fewdays, but in the long run, it’sgoing to make a big impact —not just for the research, butfor future generations.”

Biden gets stern withCentral Americanleaders aboutaddressing rootproblems for massmigration of childrenBy Anna BevanLATINALISTA

GUATEMALA CITY — Vice-president Joe Biden visitedGuatemala today to discusswhat President Obama hasdescribed as the “humanitar-ian crisis” of tens of thousandsof unaccompanied CentralAmerican child migrants ille-gally crossing the border be-tween Mexico and the UnitedStates.

According to the Depart-ment of Homeland Security,46,188 child migrants weredetained in the U.S. betweenOctober 2013 and May 2014– an increase of 21 percentcompared with the whole of theprevious year. Of these, 11,479were Guatemalan.

Experts say the children fleetheir home countries to escapepoverty, violence, gangs, searchfor better opportunities or re-unite with family memberswho are already living in theU.S.

“Over the past six monthswe have seen younger andyounger children crossing,”said Caitlin Sanderson, Pro-gram Director at EsperanzaImmigrant Rights Project.“The youngest that we havewho crossed by himself was 5years old, although we haveseen younger children comewith either their parents – whoare themselves still children(i.e. under 18) – or older sib-lings.”

Border officials have beenstruggling to accommodate theflow of new detainees whoarrive largely from CentralAmerica.

Earlier this week, Guatema-lan President Otto PérezMolina said there were morethan 1,500 unaccompaniedGuatemalan child migrantstemporarily living in army bun-kers in Texas and Arizona. Theconditions are said to be over-crowded and unsanitary.

“We think that Customs andBorder Protection is handlingthe situation atrociously. Physi-cal abuse, threats, unsanitaryconditions, refusal to give chil-dren food and water for dayson end violate these children’shuman rights as well as theConstitution and laws of theUnited States,” said Sanderson.

Biden called for an emer-gency meeting with the presi-dents of Guatemala, Otto PerezMolina, of El Salvador, Salva-dor Sanchez Ceren, and theGeneral Coordinator of theGovernment of Honduras, JorgeRamón Hernández Alcerro.

The community of SanYsidro is celebrating –albeitwith some reservations—theannouncement of the securingof the final funding needed tocomplete a sidewalk that wouldconnect San Ysidro with itshigh school.

The sidewalk would providea safe way for San Ysidro HighSchool students to walk to andfrom school. Currently, andsince the school opened in2002, students walk to schoolon a dirt path along a steepcanyon, along a winding road.

San Diego City Council Dis-trict 8 Councilmember DavidAlvarez made the announce-ment of the final funds at apress conference in San Ysidroon Wednesday, June 18th,where he was joined by com-munity residents and leaders.

“A sidewalk in this locationis vital to the students that usethis route to go to and fromschool,” Alvarez said. “Thecommunity has been advocat-ing for the construction of thissidewalk for far too long. Forthe entire time I have been inoffice, this has been and con-tinues to be one of my top pri-orities.”

But this isn’t the first timeSan Ysidro has heard this news.In the past, other District 8 rep-resentatives, from Ralph In-zunza to Ben Hueso have triedto build the sidewalk, accordingto Hector Espinoza, principal atSan Ysidro High School.

“This is the third or fourthtime I’ve heard this in 13years,” Espinoza said. “I’veheard it before.”

A safe pedestrian pathwayfor students to walk to schoolhas been promised by San Di-ego city officials and area de-velopers since the San YsidroHigh School opened in 2002.

Espinoza said that the ma-

jor difference is that this time,Alvarez is working with MayorKevin Faulconer to make thissidewalk a reality.

“This time is more substan-tial,” he said. “The mayor sup-ports it. Before, no mayorwould get involved in this issue.”

After many years of delays,Councilmember Alvarez guidedthe Otay Mesa Public FacilitiesFinancing Plan to Council ap-proval on March 11, providingthe necessary funding for thisproject to move forward. Theproject includes installation ofsidewalks, curb, gutter, guard-rail, curb ramps, retaining walls,streetlights, striping, and a streetstructural section. Installationwill be on both sides of OtayMesa Road. The anticipatedstart date for this project isSpring of 2015.

Many San Ysidro residentsand students, organized by so-cial services agency Casa Fa-miliar, have had monthly com-munity walks to demand thatthe city to fulfill its promise ofbuilding a safe pathway for stu-dents.

“Throughout the years CasaFamiliar has seen the risk thesestudents face when walkingfrom San Ysidro to their highschool in Otay Mesa”, saidAndrea Skorepa, executive di-rector at Casa Familiar. “Wehave seen the positive impactthese community walks havehad. The announcement madeby Councilmember Alvarezgives us hope, but we will con-tinue with the community walksuntil the project’s groundbreak-ing.”

Espinoza said that SanYsidro High School studentsreceive free transportation toand from school, because ofthe safety issue. He said thataround 100 to 200 studentschoose to walk to school ev-eryday, using the dirt path onOtay Mesa Road.

He added that this wouldnever happen in other, moreaffluent, areas of the City ofSan Diego.

“This is just unacceptable,”he said.

The principal said that stu-dents and their parents need tokeep putting pressure on thecity to meet its constructiontimeline.

“If March, 2015, comesaround, and they haven’tstarted building it, they will hearfrom all of us,” he said.

Skorepa said that San Ysidrodeserves better.

“We’re a small communitythat deserves the best publicservices and this sidewalkwhere our children can walkto school is the minimum weshould receive,” she said.

La comunidad de San Ysidroestá celebrando –aunque conalgunas reservas –el anuncio deque se han asegurado los fondosfinales necesarios para com-pletar una banqueta que co-nectaría San Ysidro con su highschool.

La banqueta proveería uncamino seguro para que losestudiantes de San Ysidro HighSchool caminen desde y hacíala escuela. Actualmente, ydesde que la escuela abrió enel 2002, los estudiantes caminanpor un camino de tierra al ladode un peligroso cañón.

El Regidor del Octavo Dis-trito de la Ciudad de San Di-ego David Álvarez anunció losfondos finales en una con-ferencia de prensa en SanYsidro el miércoles, junio 18,donde se le unieron residentesy líderes comunitarios.

“Una banqueta en estaubicación es vital para losestudiantes que usan esta ruta

San Ysidro ha asegurado fondos para una banqueta hacia la high schoolpara ir y venir a la escuela”,dijo Álvarez. “La comunidadha estado abogando por laconstrucción de esta banquetapor mucho tiempo. Todo eltiempo que he estado en mipuesto, este ha sido y continuasiendo una de mis prioridades”.

Pero esta no es la primeravez que San Ysidro ha escu-chado esta noticia. En elpasado, otros representantesdel Octavo Distrito, desdeRalph Inzunza hasta BenHueso, han tratado de construirla banqueta, de acuerdo aHéctor Espinoza, director de laSan Ysidro High School.

“Esta es la tercera o cuartavez que he escuchado esto en13 años”, dijo Espinoza. “Lo heescuchado antes”.

Un camino peatonal seguropara que los estudiantes ca-minen a la escuela ha sidoprometido por los políticos deSan Diego y constructoras lo-cales desde que la San YsidroHigh School abrió en 2002.

Espinoza dijo que la dife-

rencia principal esta vez, es queÁlvarez está trabajando con elAlcalde Kevin Faulconer parahacer esta banqueta una rea-lidad.

“Esta vez es mas sub-stancial”, dijo. “El alcalde laapoya. Antes, ningún alcalde seinvolucraba con este pro-blema”.

Después de muchos añosde aplazamiento, el RegidorÁlvarez guío al plan financierode Otay Mesa hasta que elcabildo lo aprobó el 11 demarzo, proveyendo los fondosnecesarios para mover elproyecto hacia adelante. Elproyecto incluye instalacionesde banquetas, pasamanos,rampas, lámparas, entre otros,en ambos lados de Otay MesaRoad. Se espera que el pro-yecto inicie en marzo, 2015.

Muchos residentes y estudi-antes de San Ysidro, orga-nizados por la agencia deservicios sociales Casa Familia,han tenido caminatas comuni-tarias para exigir que la ciudad

cumpla su promesa de con-struir un camino peatonalseguro para los estudiantes.

“Casa Familiar ha visto a lolargo de los años el peligro quecorren los jóvenes que caminandesde San Ysidro hasta laPreparatoria de Otay Mesa”,dijo Andrea Skorepa, directoraejecutiva de Casa Familiar.“Nosotros hemos visto el granimpacto que las caminatas hantenido. El anuncio que hizo elregidor nos da aliento perocontinuaremos con las cami-natas hasta que se ponga laprimera piedra del proyecto”.

Espinoza dijo que los estu-diantes de San Ysidro HighSchool reciben transportegratis a la escuela, debido a losriesgos de seguridad. Dijo queunos 100 a 200 estudiantescaminan diariamente a laescuela, usando el camino detierra sobre Otay Mesa Road.

Añadió que esto nuncaocurriría en otras áreas de más

La dramática situación queviven las decenas de niños quellegan a los estados fronterizosdiariamente es el reflejo pa-tente de la desproporción a laque ha llegado el fenómenomigratorio en Estados Unidos.Y a pesar de todo en el con-greso no pasa nada.

La crítica situación depobreza y violencia rampanteen los países centroamericanossigue expulsando niños inmi-grantes que buscan en el nortedarle un rumbo distinto a susvidas; lejos del asedio de laspandillas y el miedo.

Pero la realidad es que alllegar al país de los sueños,corriendo los conocidos peli-gros del desierto y sus trafi-cantes de vidas, no encuentranmás que un refugio temporal,la antesala a un proceso dedeportación.

Y eso es lo único claro, quequienes ingresan ilegalmente alpaís, aun cuando sean menoresde edad, deberán someterse alrigor de la ley.O, en otras palabras, como lodijo Jeh C. Johnson, Secretariode Seguridad Nacional, en sucarta abierta a los padres delos niños que cruzan la frontera,enviar a los niños ilegalmentea Estados Unidos no es lasolución.

Y es que sólo en el mes demayo 9 mil niños cruzaron lafrontera sin la compañía de unode sus padres y en lo que vadel año ya son más de 47mil,la mayoría provenientes deHonduras, El Salvador y Gua-temala.

¿Ya nada nos conmueve?El asunto es que, al parecer,

rumores mal infundados deque los niños que llegaren aEstados Unidos se beneficia-rían del Programa de AcciónDiferida para la Niñez, con-ocido como DACA, dispararonel número de menores de edadqueriendo ingresar al país.¿Quiénes son los más bene-ficiados? Los traficantes depersonas.

Para que un menor seaelegible para obtener los bene-ficios de DACA debe haberllegado a los Estados Unidosantes del 15 de junio de 2007.

En otras palabras, ningúnniño que ingrese al país por lafrontera será considerado bajoningún tratamiento especial,bajo ninguna ley vigente ofutura, ya que, incluso, elproyecto de reforma que cursaen el congreso contempla ex-tender este plazo a menoresque hayan ingresado antes del31 de diciembre de 2011, esdecir hace más de dos años ymedio.

Y de acuerdo con la misivadel secretario de seguridadcualquier persona que seaaprehendida cruzando la fron-tera ilegalmente es sujeta adeportación, sin consideraciónde su edad.

Así las cosas, no hay alter-nativas. Los padres, que tienena sus hijos lejos, en paísesdonde la violencia callejera espan de cada día, no tienenalternativas.

Habría alternativas, claro, silos gobiernos fuesen eficientesen la aplicación de políticas

humanas en lo que a inmi-gración se refiere, pero es biensabido que eso no es así.

Que los niños adquieran elestatus de refugiados parapoder permanecer en el países la alternativa que hanplanteado diversos grupos dedefensores de derechos hu-manos que lidian con la crisishumanitaria en la frontera porestos días.

Cierto es que si existieranleyes justas, esos padres que hoyse ven obligados a poner enriesgo la vida y la seguridad desus hijos, probablemente seríanciudadanos, y podrían acogerseal ritmo de la ley para reunificarsu familia. Pero dichas leyes noexisten, y el régimen inhumanoe ineficiente que rige las inmi-graciones en este país sigueesperando por una reforma quereposa en las gavetas delcongreso. Pero al parecer, yanada nos conmueve.

Thousands of well-educatedforeign-trained physicians inCalifornia face daunting barri-ers to becoming doctors here,and UC San Diego School ofMedicine physicians are tryingto help – out of altruism and toimprove patient care in San Di-ego County.

A group of doctors in the UCSan Diego Department of Fam-ily and Preventive Medicinerecently hosted a forum for ap-proximately 50 local foreign-trained doctors, during whichthey explained and fielded ques-tions about the U.S. primaryhealth care system and its resi-dency acceptance criteria.

It’s hoped the event, “AnEvening with UCSD FamilyMedicine Doctors,” will plantthe seed for greater UC SanDiego involvement in re-train-ing international medical schoolgraduates, and that sustainedinvolvement in such an effortwill eventually help supply thecounty’s growing immigrantand refugee communities withmuch-needed multi-lingual,“culturally competent” familydoctors.

“We hear these heartbreak-ing stories of people who wereheads of departments and arenow almost ashamed in frontof their families about beingunemployed,” said Dr. WaelAl-Delaimy, professor andchief of the Division of GlobalHealth in the Department ofFamily and Preventive Medi-cine and the forum’s modera-tor. “These people’s stories areso compelling, but we also needand are in short supply ofpeople with their training andcultural reference points.”

Studies show that patientsfare better when they aretreated by physicians whospeak their language and haveshared cultural backgrounds.

“We know that cultural com-petency is a huge piece of theracial and ethnic divide in healthcare outcomes,” said GailPatterson, a project manager atWelcome Back Center, a non-profit at Grossmont-CuyamacaCommunity College Districtthat offers educational programsto internationally trained healthcare professionals and co-spon-sored the forum.

There is also evidence, shesaid, that foreign-trained doc-tors who become licensed inCalifornia are more likely to be-come primary care physiciansin underserved communities.

This has particular rel-evance for patient care in SanDiego County, which has be-come a major hub for refugeeresettlement.

More refugees arrived inSan Diego County than anyother county in the state be-tween October 2008 and Sep-tember 2013 – an estimated15,308 refugees, comparedwith 9,611 refugees in LosAngeles County, the secondhighest county. In comparison,over the same five-year period,

A Second Chance at Practicing Medicine

just four refugees resettled inSanta Cruz County, seven inSan Luis Obispo County and11 in Santa Barbara County.

San Diego’s refugee com-munity is populous and also edu-cated, in large part because ofthe high proportion of Iraqi refu-gees, who fled the country’ssectarian violence and weredisproportionally part of thecountry’s cultural elite. By oneestimate (PDF), 63 percent ofall recent Iraqi refugees inAmerica are college-educated.About 30 percent of Americansolder than 25 hold bachelor’sdegrees, according to the U.S.Census Bureau.

“After World War II, theterm was ‘brain drain,’ but thereis a new phrase, ‘brain waste,’”Patterson said. “I know a neu-rosurgeon who is driving a cab.The stories go on and on.”

The path to becoming medi-cally licensed in the U.S. is longand difficult for a reason – toprotect and maintain the qual-ity of the nation’s health care.Some doctors and immigrantadvocates, however, say thestandards are duplicative, out-dated and unduly expensive.

Fahima Nadi, a refugeefrom Afghanistan who com-pleted seven years of medicalschool and a year of residencytraining in Kabul before flee-ing the country in 2009, canattest to the cost of re-estab-lishing herself professionally.She says she has spent about$1,200 to have her diplomasand transcripts verified and totake the first of three examsrequired to obtain medical li-censure in the U.S.

Her biggest fear, though, isfailing to get matched into amedical residency program. “Iwill become a doctor and helppeople no matter where theyare from,” said Nadi, who at-tended the doctors’ forum.“The only concern is I hearpeople saying that they givepriority to U.S. medical gradu-ates.”

All doctors, no matter whattheir status abroad, unless theyare from Canada, must com-plete a 3-plus-year residencyprogram at an American aca-demic health system. Duringthis residency period, doctorsare trained in their medical spe-

cialty, before going on to takemedical licensing boards.

Nadi’s concerns about beingplaced into a residency programare grounded in statistical real-ity, as foreign medical graduatesare about half as likely to land aresidency as those from U.S.medical schools. This year, forexample, 49.5 percent of for-eign-trained immigrant doctorswere matched in a U.S. resi-dency program, compared with94.4 percent of U.S. medicalschool seniors.

Al-Delaimy, an Iraqi nativewho came to the U.S. fromNew Zealand to accept a post-doctoral position at Harvard,said that “our plan is to developa structured academic-commu-nity partnership to retrain highlyselected candidates and offerthem curricular material aboutthe U.S. health system, patient-doctor relationship, case stud-ies and simulated patients, aswell as financial support to sitfor the qualifying exams.”

One of the main benefits ofa structured program would bethat the foreign doctors wouldbe able to formally networkwith UC San Diego doctorsand obtain letters of recommen-dation for medical residencytraining. “This would be a hugestep forward for foreign doc-tors,” he said.

He and colleagues believethat society cannot afford to letthe refugees’ medical traininggo to waste, especially in lightof the growing shortage offamily doctors in some under-served communities.

“A newly graduating medi-cal student costs around$250,000 to educate, while re-training a skilled internationalgraduate might not cost morethan $25,000,” Al-Delaimysaid. “We are looking at a win-win situation if they get li-censed.”

Don’t ever worry abouthaving a long layover betweentrains at L.A.’s Union Station.If the neo-mission architecturedoesn’t excite you, just walkuphill to Olvera Street, namedfor Cuyamaca’s first grantee.Just follow your nose uphill togood Mexican eats, blessedlyunlike Spanish slops, in oldL,A,’s historic heart. Check outthe 1818 Avila adobe, oldest inL.A, and swishing skirts offolkloric dancing girls.

Judge Agustin Olvera heldcourt at his house on the plazawhere the L.A. river waterditch (zanja) fed into a reser-voir. To the side he could seethe church, still standing today,Nuestra Señora la Reina de losÁngeles del Rio Porciúncula.A fun fiesta there is the “Bless-ing of the Animals,” a veryFranciscan kind of get-to-gether. Kids love it; critters ofall kinds and even heathens arewelcome.

Toward the end of the Mexi-can Republic period, Olverawas Secretary of the Depart-mental Assembly, wielding agrand official oval stamp with abroad-winged eagle. Beingprominent in government, heobtained a land grant (similar toa large homestead) for Cuya-maca Rancho with just such astamp.

His business plan was tostart a timber empire at the onlyplace where trees grew talland straight enough to use asrafters for large buildings.Great idea, but this was 1845,when colonists considered anyplace east of Rancho El Cajonas perilously unchristian. Thesetimber resources had been re-ported by Velasquez already in1783, when he lamented thelack of roads adequate for tim-ber transport.

It was gutsy of Olvera and asingle Indian to ride up the“Camino de la Sierra” throughValle de Viejas and CañadaVerde (Green Valley). Themountain Indians were said bythe imperious ComandanteArguello to be “savage,” beyondthe civilizing influence of eventhe successful remote missionoutpost at Santa Ysabel.

It was Arguello who had dis-covered Warner’s Pass in1825 while in pursuit of nativehorse thieves. This then be-came the official mail route toSonora and Mexico City, thecapital of the republic and civi-lization.

Bad blood began in 1785when thieves stole and lanceda few horses from GovernorFages at Vallecito. Musket firewon out over jaras (fire-hard-ened wooden spears) andatlatls [short spears launchedfrom throwing-sticks]. WhenFages asked who the instiga-tor was, the surviving Indiansall naturally pointed to the deadchief on the hill. His defiant lastwords, in response to a surren-der demand, had been “I do notknow how to die.” We live andlearn, they say.

As for me, I never got theknack of atlatl throwing, and Iwill salute anyone who can hitan aged rabbit with one. Still,atlatls were used on everypopulated continent, and putfood on the table. Further tomy discredit, I have no famouslast words at the ready.

In later skirmishes, the bodycount was tallied by a coupleof dozen pairs of ears, conve-niently detachable body parts,but lacking the utility and pa-nache of scalps.

Are you a Mexican or an American first?By Rodolfo F. Acuña

What are you, a Mexican or an American?This was a question asked frequently when Iwas a growing — much more than it is today.This is perhaps because at that time we wereclearly a minority and racism was more trans-parent and acceptable. It was a time whenpeople believed that Jews killed Christ andMexicans massacred Davey Crockett at theAlamo.

The result was that this forced me to thinkin terms of “them and us.”

I was probably eight or so when my schoolmates first asked me and my cousin whetherwe would fight for Mexico or the UnitedStates. The question tore me up. I could notimagine shooting my father. The teachers didnot help always referring to Mexico as a back-ward country.

A large map of North America donned theclassroom wall. Canada, the U.S.’s friend,was on top, and Mexico was on the bottom.There were frequent jokes and put downs suchas “If you don’t like it go back to Tijuana.”

The question of what are you first is not sur-prising, Americans are obsessed with policingloyalty. During the 1920s the American Firsterschanged the pledge of allegiance from “Ipledge allegiance to my flag” to “I pledge al-legiance to the flag of the United States ofAmerica” — they wanted to make sure thatsomeone was not pledging allegiance to someforeign flag.

Early visitors to the U.S. noted Americanracial xenophobia that forged a national infe-riority complex. America through the eyes ofEuropean visitors such as Alexis de Toc-queville gives us a window into the past.

While many admired the opportunities forland in the new nation, they also made bitingobservations about American attitudes. Noth-ing in the United States was authentic, for ex-ample, not even American English, which wasa wannabe version of British English.

De Tocqueville noted the obsession ofAmericans for material objects:

“.../I know of no other country where loveof money has such a grip on men’s hearts orwhere stronger scorn is expressed for thetheory of permanent equality of property/.”

Although it was a love hate relationship, thestandard for Americans was Europe. Europehad a history, the United States did not. Eu-rope had traditions, the United States did not.An abundance of western land kept alive mythsof opportunity for some, but for the Africanslave whose labor built not only the south butthe nation the inequality was rationalized.

To justify inequality whites formed opinionson the moral and intellectual inferiority of theirformer slaves. When immigrants enteredPleasantville, equality was based not only onon the hue of their skin but on property thatincreasingly took the form of capital.

So naturally the Mexicans’ equality wasmeasured by the hue of their skin and theamount of wealth they possessed. In order tojustify the inequality of Mexicans they manu-factured myths that the United States did notinvade Mexico, but re-annexed it.Social andbiological explanations were also manufacturessuch of as the Mexican’s moral and intellec-tual inferiority.

White Americans of my generation ques-tioned, why would anyone want to be any-thing but American? Everyone wanted to cometo America didn’t they?

They believed that the U.S. was differentfrom other nation states. It did not make war— the U.S. was forced to defend democ-racy.

Even in the 1950s when I was in the army adichotomy existed. Even though you wore anAmerican uniform, you weren’t really anAmerican. At the time, there were the spics(Mexicans and Puerto Ricans), the Italians,the Polacks, the Jews and the Negros in thearmy. The Americans were white.

The army changed my worldview. I had

some opportunities because my area scoreswere higher than others. But I was often askedhow come I was a company clerk and then asupply sergeant. There weren’t too many ofus in these positions. The army was the firstplace where I encountered a vicious form ofracism. I remember that outside the base inAugsburg, Germany, the night clubs were seg-regated, and there were mini-race riots.

After my discharge I returned to school. Iworked sixty hours a week and carried 18units. Los Angeles State was the best thingthat ever happened to me. I got my BA andthen my MA in history there.

My first teaching job was at the West CoastTalmudical Seminary — taught grades K-12, Iwas its only goy teacher. Orthodox Jews at thetime were shunned by the other Jewish sects.

In 1958 I began teaching at San FernandoJunior High. I was introduced by the principalas her “Mexican teacher.”At the time most ofthe Mexican American students were born inthe USA yet they were referred to as Mexi-cans — the blacks as Negros and the whitesas Americans. The contradiction was that theyexpected us to be grateful for being Ameri-can.

Once the other teachers became comfort-able with me, they began asking me questionslike why a Mexican student got into a fight orwhy he didn’t do his homework? How thehell should I know. It was like me asking themwhy Charles Manson did what he did?

When a Mexican parent filed a rare com-plaint, the teachers in the smoking room askedme, “Are you a Mexican or a teacher first?”Frankly, at first I was taken aback. What wasthe contradiction? I was not as brazen as Ilater became and tried to reason with them. Iwas on probation and did not have tenure.The first time I applied for a teacher positionwith the LA City Schools I was rejected be-cause, they said, I had gone to parochialschools.

Throughout my three years at the junior highschool the question kept coming up, “Are youa Mexican or a teacher first?” It was not onlyme but also the lone Black teacher who ev-eryone liked because he pandered to them.He advised me to play the game.

When I transferred to a high school thingswere different. I had tenure, and I had joboffers from the private sector. About a yearinto the job, again in the smoking room, I wasasked, “Are you a Mexican or a teacher first?”I responded that my birth certificate says“Mexican” so I guess I am a Mexican first.The question was also asked when I beganmy opposition to the Vietnam War and theinvasion of Santo Domingo — Are you aMexican or an American first?

I had entered the doctoral program in LatinAmerican Studies at the University of South-ern California and was studying about U.S.-Latin American relations. This led to my ques-tioning, why would anyone want to be anAmerican? When I traveled in Mexico andother countries I was ashamed of the “uglyAmericans” who demanded service by wav-ing dollars at Volkswagen Service Manager.

To make a long story short, the question,“Are you a Mexican or an American or ateacher first? has today taken on a new mean-ing. I am a teacher and that means teaching allstudents. Being Mexican means advocating forthe interests of Mexican, Latino and workingclass students.

Being a Mexican first makes me a memberof an oppressed minority. In so many instancesI have witnessed Albert Memmi’s prophesyin /The Colonizer and the Colonized/ cometrue with the colonized becoming the colo-nizer. Being an American is nothing exceptionaland should not negate other identities such asMexican, Latino, African, Native American,Asian or human being. It should not delude usinto believing that we equally benefit from ourcorporate state that has no nationality.

Meanwhile, it is somewhat pathetic thatpeople still ask, am I your first love?

Le llaman la nueva crisis de los niñosmigrantes, que más bien es la crónica de unacrisis anunciada al no ser un nuevo fenómeno,sino uno que siempre ha estado presente peroque se ha agudizado por diversas coyunturas:desde la intensificación de la violencia de marasy narcotráfico —así como falta de opor-tunidades en los países de origen de estosniños—, hasta truenos de reforma migratoriaque la mafia de traficantes de personas explota,diseminando falsos rumores de oportunidad deestancia y legalización en el país receptor,Estados Unidos.

Como suele ocurrir en las crisis, todas laspartes comienzan a buscar culpables, pero noa ofrecer soluciones. Sobre todo los políticosen la capital federal opuestos a la reformamigratoria, que rápido señalan las medidasadministrativas para amparar de la deportacióna jóvenes indocumentados o DREAMers, laAcción Diferida o DACA, como la razón cen-tral para que miles de niños estén arribando ala frontera mexicoestadounidense.

Es una explicación irresponsable que ignoralas causas que desembocan en la crisis.

No hay que ser un genio para entender quesi no se tienen oportunidades básicas en su paísde origen, la solución para millones en diversaspartes del mundo es llegar a lugares dondecreen que puedan tenerlas, cueste lo que cueste,aunque no tengan sus documentos en regla.

La falta de oportunidades en los paísesexpulsores tiene diversas raíces, pero muchasson comunes: corrupción a todos los niveles:gobierno, policía, sector judicial, empresarial;riquezas concentradas en unos pocos; lapresencia de empresas extranjeras que sacanmiles de millones en ganancias para ellos y unascuantas familias, pero que dejan limosna a lostrabajadores; la violencia de narcos y marasque se esparce como hiedra.

Y aunque Estados Unidos destine fondosanuales para programas de seguridad ycombate a la pobreza en estos países, la mezclade reducción de fondos con la incapacidad y lacorrupción de algunos de estos gobiernos nosupone ningún alivio. Súmele a eso décadas dedejadez de administraciones republicanas ydemócratas que han concentrado miles demillones de dólares en una lucha contra elnarcotráfico que no produce resultados reales,excepto el desplazamiento de millones.

Sólo hay que mirar a México. Si en cualquierotra parte del mundo hubiesen muerto los milesque han fallecido por el narcotráfico en el paísvecino, habría revuelo en Washington y a nivelinternacional. Pero por tratarse de un paísamigo, se hacen de la vista larga. Mientras sedisparan las peticiones de asilo de los

mexicanos, sólo un puñado podrá obtenerlo. Noes común concederle asilo a nacionales depaíses aliados publicitando su incompetencia.

De otra parte, está el fenómeno migratorioexplotado a conveniencia. En época de vacasgordas todos ignoran la mano de obraindocumentada: el gobierno influido porempresas, las mismas que aprovechan manode obra barata y sin derechos; los consumidoresque reciben bienes y servicios a mejoresprecios; los gobiernos de los países expulsoresque se benefician de las remesas que envíanlos indocumentados. Sólo en 2013, AméricaLatina y el Caribe recibieron casi 62 mil millonesde dólares en remesas, tres cuartas parte deesa cantidad provenientes de Estados Unidos,según el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo(BID).

En época de vacas flacas, el tema se explotapolíticamente y los indocumentados son losculpables de todos los males del país.

Son los mismos políticos que ahora, ante lacrisis de los niños de la frontera, se les hacemás fácil y conveniente decir que la culpa latiene el presidente Barack Obama por haberofrecido DACA a los DREAMers, que tuvoque concederse por la incapacidad del Congresoen impulsar primero el DREAM Act y ahora lareforma migratoria, particularmente la CámaraBaja de mayoría republicana negada a debatirmedida alguna.

Ante una crisis con tantas causas y tantosmatices, sería demasiado simplista decir queuna reforma migratoria es la solución, aunquehay que reconocer que la falta de documentoscontribuye a la separación familiar y a quemuchos padres, sin ver a sus hijos por años,opten por traerlos, pensando que colocarlos enmanos de traficantes de personas es másesperanzador que dejarlos en sus países deorigen, donde pueden ser víctimas de ladelincuencia o reclutados por narcos ypandilleros.

A nivel político, los republicanos explotan lacrisis culpando a Obama por DACA y porpromover la reforma y asegurando que lafrontera no es segura. La administraciónObama, por su parte, puede escudarse en lacrisis para evitar otras acciones administrativasque alivien el flagelo de las deportaciones, conbase en el argumento de que puede prestarsepara que traficantes sigan diseminando falsosrumores de “amnistía” que agudicen la crisis.

Y, como siempre, nada cambia.Mientras crecen las recriminaciones, lo que

queda claro es que en este fenómeno no hayun solo culpable, pues muchos tienen las manosmanchadas de sangre.

Cómplices de crisis migratoria

By Orson Aguilar

Congratulations to Google for owning up toits massive diversity problem, a problem thatseems endemic in the Silicon Valley tech world.

Late last month, Google’s senior vice presi-dent of people operations, Laszlo Bock, cameclean. In a blog post entitled “Getting to workon diversity at Google,” he revealed that 70percent of Google’s employees were men, 60percent were white, only 3 percent were His-panic and only 2 percent were black.

“It’s time to be candid about the issues,” hewrote.

Yes, it is!Bock tried to explain “why technology com-

panies like Google struggle to recruit and re-tain women and minorities.” He noted that“women earn roughly 18 percent of all com-puter science degrees in the United States.Blacks and Hispanics each make up under 10percent of U.S. college grads, and each collectfewer than 10 percent of degrees in computerscience majors.”

But Bock, to his credit, acknowledged hiscompany’s shortcomings.

“We’re the first to admit that Google is milesfrom where we want to be,” he wrote.

It’s time for other big tech firms — Apple,Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo, among others —to follow Google’s lead and release their owndiversity figures. Then they all need to get se-rious about fixing the problem.

So what should these companies do?First, recognize that it’s not just about com-

puter science degrees. The lack of diversityextends to non-tech occupations like sales and

marketing. There’s more at work here.And make clear that this is not just about

feeling good or polishing the corporate image.Firms that omit whole segments of our societyfrom their work force won’t be able to com-pete in an increasingly diverse nation. Theymust change.

A good beginning would be to set up a diver-sity council that includes key people from withinthe company plus outside voices with exper-tise on recruitment, retention and education.

Then, the companies need to follow their ownrecommendations and implement those pro-grams, not just fall back on the old boys’ net-work.

The economic influence of any large com-pany goes beyond its own workplace. Thesecompanies spend many millions of dollars buy-ing goods and services from outside suppliers.They should see that some of their money goesto firms owned by women or people of color.

Here in California, utility and telecommuni-cations companies have been doing just thatfor decades. They’ve learned that building adiverse supplier network opens the door to newmarkets and spurs competition among vendors,meaning they get better goods at lower prices.

It’s a win for everyone involved, but it takessome effort.

Silicon Valley’s tech giants must recognizethat transparency and positive words, while im-portant, are just the start. They need to make acommitment to bring all Americans on board.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I think I might beMexican—but there are some peoplewho might disagree. Being that you arethe source of all knowledge mexicano, Ithought I might ask you. Here’s thedeal: My ancestors left the US in 1847knowingly and entered recognizedterritorio mexicano. The U.S. andMexico were in the middle of a war. Atthe end of that war, the US stole theland from Mexico. Pero eso no es miculpa, pues. Sure my parents neveridentified themselves as Mexicans andmost of my ancestors haven’t either.But just because I am not mestizodoesn’t mean I am any less Mexicanright? I mean if you have to be mestizothen there are doubts about how full-bloodied Mexicana Salma Hayek is—and everyone knows she is amexicanaza. Not to mention all thosegüeros, gabachos and gringos whoemigrated to Mexico in the last century,like Trotsky’s daughter. Aren’t theyMexican? Cotorreo en casa con mijita,and I listen to El Tri, Los Tigres andAgustin Lara. I know the differencebetween jitomates and tomates. If youhave to be born in Mexico, then well,maybe you, The Mexican, aren’tMexican either, right? Oh, and by theway, I do think we all can be americanosand estadounidenses (Estados UnindosMexicanos no?). Oh, and by the way weeat guajolote for thanksgiving, not pavoso I’m not a Spaniard. Maybe I need tobe twice as good of a Mexican to beMexican though. Gotta go plan thatDoce de Diciembre fiesta.

Semilla de Cacao (White Outside,Brown Inside)

Dear Cacao Seed Gabacha Mexicana:As I’ve written before, some of the máschingones Mexicans I know are pure-blooded gabachos; some of the biggestMexican frauds I’ve encountered are fresasfrom Jalisco. I’ve discovered that we’re farmore accepting of gabachos who try topass themselves off as Mexican than pochoswho might proclaim their love for the patriayet don’t speak perfect Spanish—that’s

why Morrissey,Charles Bronson,Benny Hill and eventhat pendejo RickBayless, for instance,are honoraryMexicans, while aChicano fourgenerations removedis derided as a phony. And now you knowwhy Mexico can’t get its pinche acttogether…

When I set decorative-type itemswith rectangular bases—say, squarevases or square Limoges boxes—ontables or cabinets, I set them so thestraight lines of the box or vase areparallel with the straight lines of thetable or cabinet. Sort of like when I puta stamp on a postcard, I try to make thecorner of the stamp match the corner ofthe postcard. Now, I have had multipleMexican maids over the years, and onecurious thing to me is how most of themwill take those vases and boxes andtissue dispensers, and turn them askew,so the box or vase edge is at an angle tothe table edge. It’s like they takehorizontal Washington Monuments andtilt them into Leaning Towers of Pisa.It’s happened enough I know this is anaesthetic Mexican preference, and notan accident. Is there a cultural reasonfor this Mexican “askew preference”?Or is it just an unexplainable quirk?

I Ask You About Askew

the cause. In fact, none of the unbiased sur-veys on reasons for leaving list lenient migra-tion practices in the U.S. as a major cause.

The predictable result of the spate of articleson children migrants is to urge the creation ofmore detention facilities (potentially good forthe private prison industries) and call for anend to releases, as noted in the AP article:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry last week askedthat the Department of Homeland Securitystop releasing immigrants with notices toappear. On Monday, Arizona Gov. JanBrewer asked the same for the hundreds ofimmigrants, mostly women and children, whoin recent weeks have been flown to Arizonafrom South Texas for processing.

Following the thread, a New York Times ar-ticle June 7 called “Child Migrants Strain Make-Shift Arizona Shelter” described a veritablejunior brown tide (the article did not use thattraditional racist term but some of the languageimplies it) pouring into the US. The article ech-oed the criticisms of Arizona’s anti-immigrantgovernor Janet Brewer regarding administra-tion efforts to house the migrants:

“I am disturbed and outraged that Presi-dent Obama’s administration continues toimplement this dangerous and inhumanepolicy, meanwhile neglecting to answer cru-cial questions our citizens demand and de-serve,” the governor, a Republican, said ina statement late Friday.

Not once did the article bother to cite an im-migrant or an immigrants’ rights advocate, ofwhich there are, fortunately, many in Arizona.Much less did it or any of the other articles onthe issue mention a need for policies that wouldfacilitate family reunification.

Children in harm’s wayNo one would argue that it is a good idea to

attempt to bring a child to the United Stateswithout a trusted companion. Note that thesechildren are not usually “unaccompanied”.Their parents have paid large sums of moneyto smugglers to bring them over the bordersafely. But they often do not know the smug-glers and human smuggling has become a bigbusiness for organized crime over the past de-cade, thanks in large part to increased securitymaking it necessary for anyone trying to crossto hire professional help. As the cost of cross-ing went up, organized crime recognized a newbusiness opportunity and replaced independentcoyotes or relatives in getting migrants overthe border.

The press stories seek to pull heartstringsover the trials and traumas of the kids, whilecontaining a strong hidden message of oppro-brium against the parents. How could they letthis happen? How selfish of them to exposetheir children to such perils!

Maybe the reporters and publishers don’thave children. Or maybe they do, and they sim-ply cannot imagine what it’s like to know yourson is growing up and you cannot be there forhim, or to mark your daughter’s birthday on acalendar and wonder what she looks like now.This heart-wrenching tragedy, repeated mil-lions-fold, is the direct result of US immigra-tion policies. Where is the outrage that theUnited States does not even have basic mecha-nisms to provide for family reunification?

A New York Times editorial at least took asomewhat more compassionate view of thesituation, recognizing the “false narrative” ofthe enforcers:

The crisis comes at a bad moment in

America’s stalemated immigration debate,with Republicans gleefully seizing on a situ-ation seemingly tailored to fit their falsenarrative, that any reform short of an ag-gressively militarized border will create yetanother magnet to pull more of the wretchedpoor over our border, and that all the chaosin the system is Mr. Obama’s fault.

As an example, it quoted Bob Goodlatte, theRepublican chairman of the House JudiciaryCommittee:

“Word has gotten out around the worldabout President Obama’s lax immigrationenforcement policies, and it has encouragedmore individuals to come to the United Statesillegally… Enforcement at the border andin the interior of the U.S. is crucial to endthese kinds of situations, not another bu-reaucratic task force.”

The editorial emphasized the “push” factorsand that children “are fleeing for their lives”. Itcalled for the government to humanely attendto the flows but did not mention longer-termsolutions regarding disastrous U.S. policies intheir home countries.

On June 3, President Obama referred to the“humanitarian crisis” and issued a memoran-dum calling for the formation of a “UnifiedCoordination Group” to attend to unaccompa-nied children migrants. He asked for $1.4 bil-lion dollars to create infrastructure for the in-flux of minors.

An article in VOX notes that the US gov-ernment seems to understand that the real so-lution lies in improving conditions in countriesof origin but has failed to address them:

Ultimately, any long-term solution has toaddress not only the “pull factors” thatbring children here, but the “push factors”that drive them out of their own countries.The federal government appears to under-stand this, but there aren’t many good ideasfor how to deal with it. Last week, JehJohnson, the Secretary of Homeland Secu-rity, suggested to Congress that the US gov-ernment could launch a public-awarenesscampaign in Central American countries toadvertise the dangers of migrating to theUnited States.

Again the “solution” suggested blames thevictims for risking the journey.

So why does the mainstream press seek toplace the blame on the parents and a supposedsoftening of immigration policy?

Because the alternative to blaming migrantfamilies themselves is unpalatable to them.

The alternative is to accept that the CentralAmerican and North American Free TradeAgreements have left thousands of youth withno economic opportunities.

It is to accept that US security aid for drugwars has armed and aggravated violence inMexico and Central America.

It is to understand the high cost of support-ing the Honduran coup and how the Honduranpeople and the US population continue to paythat price, as out migration has surged over500% in the past two years and human rightsviolations, instability and violence are skyrock-eting.

In my travels to migrant shelters and inter-views with migrants coming through Mexico Ihave found that, astoundingly, they do realizethe risks and yet decide to make the journeyanyway.

The public-awareness campaign we reallyneed is one addressed to U.S. citizens andCongress regarding the impact of economic andsecurity polices on their southern neighbors, andespecially on the children.

Then we need a public action campaign todo something about it.

Perez Molina issued a joint statement where itwas reported that Biden spoke in strong tonesdirected at Perez Molina and faulted the eco-nomic and security problems in Guatemala forthe flow of children into the United States.

“But, I want to make clear Mr. President,”Vice President Biden said. “The United Statesrecognizes that a key part of the solution to thisproblem is to address the root causes of thisimmigration in the first place. Especially pov-erty, insecurity and the lack of the rule of law,so the people can stay and thrive in their owncommunities, so a parent doesn’t feel so des-perate that they put their child in the hands of acriminal network and say take him, and takeher to the United States.”

Guatemala’s Perez Molina responded in partthat immigration reform and creating tempo-rary work programs were two ways his coun-try saw a solution to the crisis.

After his morning meeting with the presidentsat the National Palace of Culture in GuatemalaCity, Biden traveled by motorcade to the Chiefof Mission Residence to hold a roundtable dis-cussion with Rosa Leal de Perez, First Lady ofGuatemala, Miriam Celada, Hogar NuestraRaices, Leonel Dubon, Founder, El Refugio delas Ninez, Jorge de Leon Duque, Human RightsOmbudsman, Oscar Padilla, Vice Minister of

Foreign Affairs, Norma Cruz, Founder,Fundacion Sobrevivientes and Juan CarlosZapata, executive director, Fundesa.

Regardless of the show of unity among theheads of states, some are more than skepticalanything will change.

“Flying Biden down to Latin America to talkwith governments down there will do nothingbecause it is quite clear that some of these gov-ernments are the problem – they participate inand perpetuate some of the violence – and theyare unable to effectively address the escalat-ing violence that is pushing all of these childrento leave,” said Sanderson.

Central American ambassadors and diplo-mats met with officials from the Departmentof Homeland Security last week to discuss tai-loring Public Service Announcements that ad-dress the dangers unaccompanied children faceon the journey north. The announcements arealso expected to educate those considering il-legal immigration who may have misunderstoodaspects of U.S. law and the applicable ben-efits they would be afforded once they arrivein the United States.

Bertha Lopez just won’t go awayquietly… sounds like she is going tofight her suspension from the schoolboard and get re-instated???Suspension… hell we thought she waskicked off the school board forpleading guilty. We can only guess herargument will be that she is only did alittle bit of a crime and as suchdeserves a second chance… a crime isa crime.

The flip side is: she wants to run forschool board again, you see this is whatis wrong with politics today… quelastima!!! What she doesn’t get is thatthere is a silent majority out therethat is happy she is no longer on theboard….

Hijole, mi esposa wore herGerman futbol jersey Thursday andreceived some funny looks… she ishalf German, half Hispanic and hasfollowed the German team for a verylong time now… the US and Mexicoboth made it in the final 16, now it iswin or go home. Brazil and Chile kick-off the final 16 on Saturday. Mexicoplays on Sunday 9 am versus theNetherlands, and the US will playTuesday.

Received a copy of the invite to

National City mayor, Ron Morrison’sstate of the city speech… looks likeone of those NASCARs with all theadvertisers stuck on it. The invite itselfonly takes up the top third of the sheetthe rest is all corporate sponsors….Sponsors for a state of the city speech,really???? the next thing we will beseeing is product placement … wonderif he will have logos on his suit like theauto racers do???

The City of San Diego passed a bunchof tax incentives so that the localbreweries could, well make morebeer…. Now don’t get me wrong welike beer just as much as the next guy,but tax incentives for a specificcommercial business… how does thatwork??? The city council likes theproduct so they say hey guys you don’thave to pay as many taxes so you cangrow and prosper and be sure drop offa year’s supply of beer, or what!!!Where do we sign up for that?

Candidate Carl DeMaio, right-wingRepublican running againstCongressman Scott Peters, announcedhis Hispanic endorsements a week orso ago… we are not sure of the date inthat nobody covered or wrote aboutit…. Anyway the Latino AmericanPolitical Association and The Hispanic100 came in support…. The funnything was that on the DeMaio website aphoto of the announcement showed alot of white folks and hardly anyHispanics…. Dee Castro was the onlyone we recognized and there was a guyholding aLAPA sign, the only twoHispanics there!

cheria Cuyamaca, the lake(then smaller) and Iguai onNorth Peak’s flank. It appearshe sketched it all from Stone-wall Mountain.

After the U.S. invasion,Olvera was signatory to thepeace treaty, and served asjudge, mayor, county supervi-sor and elector in a presiden-tial election.

His first wife had beenConcepcion, one of Arguello’smany children. After her death,Olvera married Maria delRefugio de Jesus Ortega, thewidow of whaling captain Ed-ward Stokes. Maria was oneof 22 children of José JoaquinOrtega, and had grown up atthe ranch house of Santa Maríade Pamo, in the low ground justnorth of Highway 67, west ofRamona and east of RanchoMaria Lane. We have an 1883lithograph of the place, wind-mill and all. The Ortegas dealtin cattle, otter skins, wine, andlots of kids.

Ortegas were among thefounders of the Santa BarbaraPresidio and nearby Refugioranch, a park which you canstill visit. That ranch wasburned by pirates. Generationsof Ortega girls were famousfor fair “Castilian” beauty,drawing suitors to Santa Maria

from far away, including a gen-eral on the prowl.

Ortega and Stokes wereowners of both Santa Maria andSanta Ysabel, with huge acre-age. It was Stokes who met theinvading US army at Warner’son December 4, 1846 and ar-ranged for Cockney Bill to pre-pare a hearty, wine-besotted,and humorously described mut-ton, grape, and tortilla supper atthe Santa Ysabel chapel. Hethen carried invasion news toGillespie’s force so they couldbring a cannon and rendezvousaround Ballena, where OldJulian Highway branches offfrom route 78.

They were wretchedly en-camped in rain and cold, prob-ably where the gasoline stationand concrete bridge now are,east of Ramona by the Stokesplace. The deadly Battle ofSan Pascual was two dayslater.

Unlike the bedraggled andsoggy army, Stokes was sportyin his black English huntingcoat and long white underwearmostly covered by black vel-vet trousers slit to the hips andcut off at the knees, with 6-inch long clattering spurs.Above all this bloomed thebroad, merry face of a seamanhome from the sea.

The timber venture of Olveranever came to fruition. Moun-tain Indians “made a kind ofrevolution” and ran Olvera’ssawyers off. With our 20/20

hindsight, that would seem tohave been a good thing, at leastuntil the great fire took it allanyway.

You can search the web forthese people because they aresignificant to history. Olveralanded nimbly on his feet witha new regime and a new wife.

Arguello, the haughty sire ofimportant and abundant off-spring, was granted a majorchunk of what is now San Di-ego, along with almost all ofTijuana, appropriate to his “re-gal presence.” Olvera got athird of the San Diego pueblolands, for legal fees.

Stokes died young, but sonAdolfo and his half-sisterDolores, daughter of Maria delRefugio and Judge Olvera, builta large adobe in 1871 which youcan still see, much remodeled,as you approach Ramona fromthe mountains. Judging from theseven English-looking kids in an1887 family photo, he must havebeen closer to his sister than Iwas to mine. By that time, herCastilian beauty had filled outsubstantially. They ran a stageline to Julian in the 1870’s, pro-viding dinner at Santa Maria andfresh horses at Ballena, wherethere is still a horse ranch.

So, lest you bewail and be-moan a lack of rich and famouscelebrities among us, just imag-ine if you could have been herein the old forties.

We are well and truly livingin a hotbed of history.
