OperationStreamline:ExpeditedIndian RemovalBy Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez

Tucson, AZ — On the left side ofthe courtroom, 60 to 70 short, dark-brown men and a few women areseated, handcuffed and shackledfrom the wrists, waist and ankles. Allare silent. They take up about 20 rows,including the two corresponding to thejury box. The scene is surreal. Theirchains, their color and height are verypronounced - yet in this courtroom,are hardly noticed by the lawyers andother court officials, including thejudge.

This kangaroo court called Opera-tion Streamline is America’s modernversion of Expedited Indian Removal;chase, capture, pseudo-judicial pro-ceeding, incarceration and deport. Itconvenes daily at 1:30 PM in Tuc-son, Arizona.

Apparently, the prisoners in thissecond-floor federal courtroom havebeen instructed not to converse witheach other. But the periodic clankingof their chains betrays the silence.The chains eerily communicate thatsomething is not right here.

In contrast, in the middle of thiscourtroom are primarily well-dressedand well-heeled lawyers. Some attor-neys sit; some stand. Many fiddle withtheir smartphones. Some of the at-torneys are Mexican-American orHispanic. Others are Anglos or white.All are supposed to be bilingual. Andof course, their skin color, regardlessof their ethnic origin, is noticeablylighter than that of their “clients.” Onthe right is the smallest section, re-served for 12 to 15 visitors.

None of the prisoners here is be-ing tried for a violent felony or vio-lent misdemeanor. They are beingcharged with illegal entry or illegal re-entry. Yet the shackles send a chill-ing message - that these brown menand women are highly dangerous andneed to be kept under close watchand tight control at all times.

The courtroom is spectacle. It re-sembles theater more than trial. Noteven Aurora theater massacre sus-pect James Holmes was shackledand herded into the courtroom in thismanner. But the charade continueshere because the public must be ledto believe that this operation is keep-ing America safe from the brownhordes.

In this theater of the absurd, fivequestions are asked of each prisoner(here they are prisoners, not defen-dants). One of the judge’s questions,as the prisoners appear in groups ofeight to nine, is whether they areuncoerced and making their decisionsof their own free will. Handcuffedand shackled, they reply: Si.

While the chains are the ultimate

Al hablar de tradiciones mexica-nas y su música no se puede dejarde mencionar el mariachi, sin dudauno de los símbolos más representa-tivos de México, conocido alrededordel mundo por sus vibrantes sonidosde trompetas, violines y guitarrón,que por lo general es interpretadopor un grupo de hombres vestidoscon el traje de charro. Sin embargo,la aportación que ha hecho la mujera este género es invaluable, pues conello, ha hecho traspasar fronteras.

Gracias al esfuerzo e inquietud detres mujeres Leonor Pérez, LauraSobrino y Nancy Muñoz (todas ellasinterpretes y precursoras deldesarrollo del mariachi femenil enEstados Unidos) hoy la ciudad deSan Diego puede disfrutar de unaamplia exposición de fotografías yobjetos invaluables que cuentan lahistoria y raíces de la mujer en elgénero regional mexicano, presen-tado en el Women’s Museum ofCalifornia en San Diego desde el 6de Septiembre hasta el próximo 27de Octubre.

Logan Heights veterans honor one of their own

Nurse.Moreno, 25, was killed by a bomb

October 6, when her unit was at-tacked during a raid to a Taliban base.She was awarded a Bronze Star post-humously for bravery.

But perhaps the greatest honor shereceived was the one she receivedfrom Logan Heights veterans of war,when they paid their respects to oneof their own on Friday, October, 11th.

Dozens of Logan Heights veter-ans from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghani-stan, came together at the LoganHeights Veterans Memorial, inChicano Park, to remember the sac-rifice this young lady made whilefighting for her country.

“Today we’re here as a single unitto honor this young lady,” said JuanManuel Crespin, spokesperson for theLogan Heights Veterans Memorial

Committee, which organized theevent. “I’m a parent. The last thing,God forbid, is that anything shouldhappen to our children. Our childrenare sacred. They are not supposedto go before us.”

Moreno’s mother, Maria Cordova,arrived at the memorial crying, incompany of her three other children,one of them also in the Army.

“All I want to say is that the pain Ifeel is very big,” she said in Spanish.“Jennifer always felt proud of herwork. Thank you to all for the atten-tion you’re giving my daughter.”

During the service, San DiegoCouncilmember David Alvarez, gavea plaque to Cordova thanking her, forher daughter’s service.

“With all my heart, Señora, I re-gret your daughter’s death, she’s nowin heaven,” said Alvarez, who repre-sents Logan Heights at city hall.

University of San Francisco Presi-dent Stephen A. Privett asked forprayers for Moreno’s family, Morenograduated from the university in 2010.

“Jennifer was a dedicated and car-ing nurse, a brave Army lieutenant anda beloved member of the USF com-munity,” he said. “She died living hermission of service to her country andto the global community and we honorher sacrifice. We are extraordinarilyproud and forever grateful to Jenni-fer and for the difference she madeat such a young age. Please join mein keeping Jennifer’s family in yourthoughts and prayers during this timeof profound loss.”

Llega la exposición ¡Viva! El Mariachi Femenil a San Diegopara la Orquesta Sinfónica de SanDiego decidió emprender en 1998un viaje a México para indagarsobre los orígenes del mariachifemenil. A partir de ahí, se dedicó arecolectar imágenes, objetos y datosque hoy conforman la exposición“¡Viva! El Mariachi Femenil”. “Todoeste tiempo me he dedicado acoleccionar porque me parece quees muy importante que se conozcala gran aportación que ha hecho lamujer al mariachi, incluso algunas quelos hombres nunca han hecho peroque no se conocen, como ir a tocara las tropas del army durante laguerra…” Comentó la violinistaavecindada en la ciudad de San Di-ego.

La historia del mariachi femenil seremonta hasta el año de 1903 conla primera mujer violinista de nom-bre Rosa Quirino, originaria de LaEscondida, Jalisco la cual para eseentonces, a sus 13 años de edad yainterpretaba canciones típicas,acompañada de su violín.

A la Teniente Jennifer More-no siempre le gustaba ayudar alos demás.

Esa es la razón principal porla cual se graduó con un gradode enfermería de la Universi-dad de San Francisco. Esa esla razón principal por la que sealistó en el Ejército de los E.U.Esa es la razón principal por laque se ofreció a ir a Afganistán,donde se desempeñó comoenfermera del ejército.

Moreno, de 25 años, fueasesinada por una bomba el 6de octubre, cuando su unidadfue atacada durante una redadaa una base talibán. Se le con-cedió a título póstumo la Estrellade Bronce por su valentía.

Pero quizás el mayor honorque recibió después de sumuerte fue el que recibió delos veteranos de guerra de

Logan Heights, cuando pre-sentaron sus respetos a uno delos suyos el viernes, octubre 11.

Decenas de veteranos deLogan Heights de Vietnam,Irak y Afganistán, se reunieronen el Logan Heights VeteransMemorial, en Chicano Park,para recordar el sacrificio deesta joven que murió luchandopor su país.

“Hoy estamos aquí comouna sola unidad en honor a estajoven “, dijo Juan ManuelCrespín, portavoz de los LoganHeights Veterans MemorialCommittee, que organizó elevento. “Soy un padre. Loúltimo que deseamos, Dios nolo quiera, es que algo le pase anuestros hijos. Nuestros niñosson sagrados. No se supone quevayan delante de nosotros”.

La madre de Moreno, MaríaCórdova, llegó ahogada enllanto al memorial, en compañía

de sus otros tres hijos, uno deellos también en el Ejército.

“Lo único que quiero decires que el dolor que siento esmuy grande”, dijo en español.“Jennifer siempre se sintióorgullosa de su trabajo. Graciasa todos por la atención que seestá dando a mi hija”.

Durante el servicio, el regidorde San Diego, David Álvarez,entregó una placa a Córdovapara agradecer el servicio desu hija.

“Con todo mi corazón, Se-ñora, lamento la muerte de suhija, ella está ahora en el cielo”,dijo Alvarez, quien representaa Logan Heights en el cabildo.

El presidente de la Univer-sity of San Francisco StephenA. Privett pidió oraciones porla familia de Moreno, quien segraduó de la universidad en2010.

“Jennifer era una enfermera

dedicada y cariñosa, un tenientedel ejército valiente y un queridomiembro de la comunidad deUSF “, dijo. “ Murió viviendosu misión de servicio a su paísy a la comunidad mundial yhonramos su sacrificio. Estamosextraordinariamente orgullososy eternamente agradecidos aJennifer y la diferencia que hizoa una edad tan joven. Por fa-vor, únanse a mí para mantenerla familia de Jennifer en suspensamientos y oraciones du-rante este tiempo de pérdidaprofunda”.

También el viernes, el dipu-tado Juan Vargas se convirtióen copatrocinador de la CasaResolución Conjunta 91, quesería apropiarse de los fondospara el Departamento deDefensa para financiar lasindemnizaciones por muertemilitares estadounidenses du-rante un cierre del gobierno, sele unieron otros 424 miembrosdel Congreso en apoyo de lalegislación.

“La semana pasada, cuatromiembros del servicio, uno delos cuales (Jennifer Moreno) erade mi distrito, murieron enacción”, dijo Vargas. “Debidoal cierre del gobierno, a susfamilias se les negó los bene-ficios por fallecimientos mili-tares.

Also on Friday, Rep. JuanVargas became cosponsor ofHouse Joint Resolution 91,which would appropriate fund-ing for the Department of De-fense to finance U.S. militarydeath benefits during a govern-ment shutdown, was joined by424 other Congressional Mem-bers in support of the legislation.

“Last weekend, four servicemembers, one of whom (Jenni-fer Moreno) was from my dis-trict, were killed in action,”Vargas said. “Due to the gov-ernment shutdown, their fami-lies were denied military deathbenefits. This is completely un-acceptable. We must honor thememory of those who havegiven their lives for our countryby ensuring that their families re-ceive the benefits they deserve.”

As a result of the currentgovernment shutdown, theDepartment of Defense hasbeen unable to pay militarydeath benefits to eligible fam-ily members, putting undo fi-nancial hardship on those al-ready dealing with the loss ofa loved one. This bill wouldensure that death benefits,such as death gratuity, pay-ments or reimbursements foreligible funeral and burial ex-penses, and dignified transferof remains are funded.

“It is inconceivable that sur-viving family members wouldbe denied military death ben-efits because the governmenthas been shutdown,” statedVargas. “This bill is a neces-sary step to ensure that survi-vors of fallen servicemen andwomen receive their benefits,regardless of whether or notthe government is operating.”

a family affair.She laughs: “The whole

family, top to bottom, gambles.My husband’s the king.”

Each of Tran’s five kidsgambles with her, including her17-year-old son, who has neverbeen asked about his age. Twoof her children are unem-ployed, one is a thief and herdaughter recently left her hus-band.

“Mi chou choi, con ciungphai choi chou thoi,” Tranjokes, using Vietnamese word-play to say that if mom’s will-ing to play, her kids have nochoice but to play as well.

Asians and GamblingGambling rates among

Asians are higher than thoseof any other ethnicity in theUnited States, according topsychiatrist Dr. Tim Fong, co-director of UCLA’s GamblingStudies Program.

“We did a survey a fewyears back, and at any giventime, 35 percent of people in thecasinos we visited wereAsians,” even though Asiansconstitute only 14 percent of thestate’s population, Fong said.

In a news report, a Pe-changa official estimated that50 percent of its clientele isAsian, though Jacob Mejia, thecasino’s director of public af-fairs, told Voice of OC that in-formation regarding Asianpatrons is proprietary and mustremain confidential.

Fong said gambling rates arehighest among Chinese, fol-lowed by Koreans and Filipi-nos. Orange County’s largestAsian community, the Viet-namese, constitute another sig-nificant percentage, accordingto Fong. But gamblers of allbackgrounds pay dearly fortheir habits, Fong said.

“At the severe end, we’retalking permanent damage tofamilies: divorce, abuse, finan-cial devastation and genera-tional debt,” said Fong.

Ellen Ahn, executive direc-tor of Korean Community Ser-vices in Buena Park, said sheregularly sees the ruinous ef-fects of gambling on the people

she serves.“Gambling is by far the ad-

diction of choice after tobaccoor alcohol,” Ahn said. “I wouldsay it’s a much bigger issuethan drug abuse when it comesto destroying families and dis-rupting lives.”

Gambling among elderlyAsians is also a concern, ac-cording to Dr. Clayton Chau, apsychiatrist and CalOptima of-ficial. Gambling is sometimesa response to boredom and lackof family attention, he said.

“We know that the incidenceof gambling issues in the Asiancommunity is quite high, espe-cially if you have older seniorssuffering from depression andloneliness,” Chau explained.

A Dangerous Mix ofCulture and Poverty

Asians who are fightinggambling addiction are doingbattle with both the harsh re-alities of modern life and cen-turies of tradition.

“Whether it’s Mahjongcubes in the Chinese commu-nity or flower cards in the Ko-rean community, gambling isdeeply rooted in Asian commu-nities,” Ahn said. Fong agreed,saying that gambling is part ofthe Chinese New Year, wed-dings and other festive occa-sions.

But he also said that amongAsian immigrants, gamblingcan be a response to povertyand one of the few choicesavailable for entertainment andbetter earnings.

“Imagine someone comingover to the U.S. and not speak-ing any English, living in anapartment with 10 otherpeople, working all night in arestaurant. What are you go-ing to do on days off? Get to-gether en masse to a casinoand try to double up your earn-ings,” Fong said.

Playing for profits and notjust amusement was the goalfor Tran, the mother of five: “Igo to win money. What’s thepoint in going just for fun?”

Tran refused to disclose thesubstantial amount of gamblingdebt she has accumulated.

“Cháy tuoi” is the Vietnam-ese euphemism for Tran’s di-sastrous approach to gambling,drawing a comparison betweenrepeated gambling losses topockets having been burned sothat they can’t hold money.

A Lucrative OpportunityCasinos are well-positioned

to profit from the gambling hab-its of Asians, luring and retain-ing customers like Tran.

Bamboo, Pechanga’s newAsian restaurant reported tocost $2.4 million, serves Chi-nese, Japanese, Korean andVietnamese fare, listed in theappropriate language on themenu.

Tailoring its entertainmentschedule to patrons like Tran,who gamble during the day andattend shows at night, Pe-changa consistently bookspopular Asian shows and art-ists. “Mua Ha Ruc Ro,” apopular Vietnamese live musicshow, made a recent run at thecasino.

Also, the celebrity host of

“Paris by Night,” another Viet-namese live music show, wasrecently seen playing the slotmachines at Pechanga, muchto the excitement of fans likeTran. Byun Jin Sub, a popularKorean ballad singer, per-formed at the casino in July.

‘All I Do Is Play’Dûng Nguyen, a 46-year-

old Vietnamese man with anaffinity for the roulette tables,personifies gambling’s darkerside. Although he insisted heonly plays for fun and that hesometimes wins, his haggardappearance suggested that hisluck and his pockets have been

burned repeatedly.His friends, who according

to Nguyen all hold lucrativeconstruction jobs, sometimesgo to casinos with him, but onlyduring weekends on account oftheir work. On the other hand,Nguyen boards the Asian Gar-den Mall shuttle to Pechangaseven days a week.

“All I do is play, really,” hesaid.

Despite his hard luck,Nguyen remains nonchalant.

“It’s just life,” he said.

¿Y al fin de cuentas, queestamos haciendo aquí? ¿Nocree que sería una buena ideaser feliz?

Es probable que el otoñolo deprima, o la cercanía delinvierno, o la ausencia detrabajo o la monotonía o elcansancio o la vecina; el casoes que hay que hacer algo alrespecto.

Así que vamos a citar aquíalgunas cosas que puedenacercarnos a la felicidad yayudarnos a salir de las rutinasque terminan entristecién-donos. Para empezar vamosa hacer conciencia de que lafelicidad es una cosa posible,que según los que saben,depende de nuestra actitud.

Entonces, vamos a vercómo podemos ser másfelices. Una de las claves, deacuerdo con los expertos esel ejercicio. Hay quienesdicen que siete minutos al díason suficientes. Eso lo decideusted. ¿Cuánto tiempo quieredarle a su felicidad? Elejercicio tiene un efectoinmediato en su estado deánimo y en su bienestar cor-poral y está comprobado quees una estrategia efectiva con-tra la depresión.

Duerma bien. El buen des-canso lo hará menos sensiblea las emociones negativas.Eso es importante para lafelicidad. De hecho, ¿Cuántohace que no toma una siesta?La calidad y la cantidad de susueño nocturno determinarándefinitivamente como se sen-tirá al despertar y puedehacer la diferencia a lo largode su día.

Viva cerca del lugar dondetrabaja. Un corto recorridodiario del trabajo a la casa yde la casa al trabajo puede sermucho más beneficioso queuna casa grande. ¿Ha calcu-lado el tiempo que inviertetransportándose? Puede jurarque un buen taco, atasco otrancón tendrán una injerencianegativa en su estado deánimo, y eso se repetirá todoslos días.

Pase tiempo con la genteque quiere. Aislarse o no tenercontacto frecuente con fami-liares y amigos es una de lascosas que más lamentan losmoribundos. No espere suturno. Comparta con los suyosahora, sea feliz ahora. El tiempoque invierte socializando es in-valuable a la hora de capitalizarsu felicidad, varios estudios handemostrado que pasar tiempocon nuestros seres queridoshace una gran diferencia. Elexperto en felicidad de launiversidad de Harvard, DanielGilbert lo explica así: Somosfelices cuando tenemos familia,somos felices cuando tenemosamigos y casi todas las otrascosas que creemos que noshacen felices son simplementeformas de tener más familia ymás amigos. Un detalle: ningúnsueldo genera la felicidad quegenera la amistad. Otro: aque-llos que dan, suelen ser másfelices.

Salga. El sol y los elemen-tos de la naturaleza, sonaliados de la felicidad. Se hademostrado que pasar 20minutos al aire libre en un díahermoso no solo mejora elestado de ánimo, si no que

agudiza la mente y mejora lamemoria.

Invierta en su diversión.Vaya a donde le gusta cadavez que pueda; espectáculos,conciertos, cenas; esa inver-sión le traerá más felicidad quela adquisición de cosas ma-teriales.

Sonría. Sonreír, puedeincluso, aliviar el dolor. Son-reír, el simple hecho de sonreír,puede hacernos sentir mejor.Pero piénselo bien, no sonríapara verse mejor o paraparecer amable. Sonría deadentro, sienta su sonrisa, elúnico realmente beneficiadoserá usted.

Medite, comparta y seaagradecido, hacerlo aumen-tará seguramente sus posi-bilidades de ser feliz. ¡Ah! Yolvídese de una vez de esosresentimientos y esas rabiasviejas, al único que dañan esa usted.

Vea su película favorita,haga las cosas que le gustan,busque la felicidad y obsér-vela cuando la tenga al frente,no la deje ir, al fin y al cabo,es suya.

Usted también puede ser feliz

A new study from AARP’sPublic Policy Institute calcu-lates that each dollar paid toSocial Security beneficiariesgenerates nearly two dollars inspending by individuals andbusinesses, adding about $1.4trillion in total economic outputto the U.S. economy in 2012.The report also finds the $762billion paid in Social Securitybenefits in 2012 helped Ameri-cans keep or find more thannine million jobs.

Social Security’s Impacton the National Eco-nomydetails the powerful multipliereffect created when SocialSecurity recipients spend theirbenefits and the companieswhich receive those dollarsspend their profits and pay theiremployees, who in turn spendtheir wages. The report pro-vides both national and state-level data.

AARP volunteers and staffare visiting Capitol Hill officestoday to deliver the report totheir Members of Congressand voice their concerns aboutthe chained CPI, a change pro-posed in budget negotiationsthat would cut Social Securitybenefits.

“This report tells us that anyadjustments Washingtonmakes to Social Security willhave a profound effect on in-dividuals of all ages, businessesand our economy as a whole,”said AARP Executive VicePresident Nancy Lea-Mond.“That’s why AARP is fightingthe chained CPI and calling fora national conversation aboutthe future of Social Security –so those who paid into the sys-tem can have a voice in thedebate and so future genera-tions get the benefits they’veearned.”

Like most severely mentallyill patients, 23-year-old DanielPadilla doesn’t see himself asthat.

The insurance companiesthat cover him – Medi-Cal(California’s name for Medic-aid, the federal-state-funded in-surance for low-income anddisabled people) and UnitedHealth Insurance — don’t seethe schizophrenia he was diag-nosed with at age 19, as deserv-ing the same benefits as some-one with a medical condition.

His father, Benito, must goafter the insurers month aftermonth to get them to payPadilla’s psychiatrist to keephis schizophrenia under control.

“The insurers approve threevisits and then they put youthrough hell,” asserted SanDiego-based psychiatrist Dr.Rodrigo A. Muñoz, who hasbeen treating Padilla all along.

“Insurers discriminate a-gainst people who are mentallyill,” Muñoz said.

But that’s all going to changesoon. When the historic Af-fordable Care Act fully unrollson Jan. 1, 2014, it will requireinsurers to offer mental healthcare benefits equal to physicalhealth benefits. In other words,a disorder in the brain will betreated no differently than onein the kidney, Muñoz said.

Not just people with mentaldisorders, but those with sub-stance use disorders have en-countered penny-pinching an-nual and lifetime caps on cov-erage, higher deductibles, orsimply no coverage at all.

Federal Parity LawThe blatantly discriminatory

practices by health insurancecompanies prompted Congressin 2008 to pass the MentalHealth Parity and AddictionEquity Act (MHPAEA), whichmandated that psychiatric ill-

ness be covered just the sameas other medical illnesses. Itrequired insurers to offer thesame annual and lifetime dol-lar limits for mental health careas for medical and surgicalcare.

But the law applies only tolarger employers – those with50 or more workers – that of-fered a health plan that cov-ered mental health and sub-stance abuse. Smaller employ-ers, as well as people who buytheir own insurance, are ex-cluded from the benefits of thelaw.

“Smaller employers have re-sisted changing the law, say-ing they will go broke” if theyhad to include mental healthcoverage in their health careplans, Muñoz pointed out.

The ACA has extended theMHPAEA provisions to stateinsurance exchanges, knownas Covered California in thisstate. This would require poli-cies purchased by smaller em-ployers and individuals throughthe exchange, as well as thosepurchased outside of it, to beMHPAEA-compliant.

Had the MHPAEA man-dated universal psychiatricbenefits when it was created,insurers like Padilla’s would nothave been able to discriminatebetween the treatment of psy-chiatric and non-psychiatricmedical illnesses, he said.

Dr. Clayton Chau, whopractices psychiatry in OrangeCounty, Calif., said that be-cause of the discrimination fac-tor, poor access to care andinadequate insurance cover-age, only a fraction of thosewith mental illness get treat-ment.

A report by the SurgeonGeneral indicates that one infour Americans has a diagnos-able mental illness at any giventime. National and internationalstudies show that 1 percent ofthe general population hasschizophrenia, an illness that is

treatable, though not curable.Surveys, including those doneby the National Institutes ofMental Health, show that onlyabout 50 percent of Americansseek psychiatric treatment.

What the Health Care LawWill Do

Under the ACA, aka Oba-macare, health insurers are for-bidden from excluding peoplewith pre-existing illness frommedical coverage. By defini-tion, Americans with a mentalillness have a pre-existing dis-order, and up until now, privatehealth insurers have deniedwith impunity coverage tothose with pre-existing condi-tions.

California has added a men-tal health component to its ex-panded Medi-Cal program,under ACA, to ensure that itsMedi-Cal population with men-tal disabilities receives morecomprehensive mental healthbenefits, starting Jan. 1, 2014.

The current mental healthcomponent of Medi-Cal “is lim-ited in terms of the number ofproviders and the number ofservices” it offers, Chau said.

Older people with mental ill-ness will also benefit from theACA because the law willclose the notorious “donuthole,” allowing the Medicarepopulation to not have a breakin medication.

Padilla, who’s currentlyworking for his GED, has beenable to stay on his father’s in-surance because of his age. Aprovision in the ACA allowschildren under 26 to remain ona parent’s insurance plan.

Muñoz is relieved that theACA will help patients likePadilla access the care they sobadly need. The removal oflifetime caps by insurance com-panies will enable mentally illpatients to access care beforeturning to suicidal thoughts,becoming violent or ending uphomeless, he said.

In this abbreviated race for mayorof San Diego, we find it interest-ing that the Hispanic community’sissues and concerns have been

boiled down to each candidate’s positionon Barrio Logan. Barrio Logan has be-come the defacto litmus test to deter-mine where the candidates stand with theHispanic community.

This litmus test is reflected in thatwhen it comes to the Hispanic commu-nity, all the endorsement events seem tobe taking place in Barrio Logan, high-lighting Barrio Logan residents, with theBarrio Logan community plan update thecentral issue.

Why are the candidates’ position on theHispanic community important? In thelast mayor’s race, ethnic communities,and in particular the Hispanic commu-nity, were instrumental in getting BobFilner elected mayor. In a race that wasseparated by 23,222 votes, Hispanic sup-port is the swing vote between becom-ing mayor or not!

The problem with this litmus test is thatit does not reflect the majority of theHispanic community!

Barrio Logan is home to about 5000residents, with a median household in-come that is 57% less than the medianincome for the city of San Diego($19,968 versus $45,733). Educationlevels are extremely low, which disfa-vor involvement in politics. And the com-munity is dominated by social serviceagencies, the Chicano Federation, Bar-rio Station, Logan Heights Family, En-vironmental Health Coalition, and theMetropolitan Area Advisory Committee.

The Hispanic population in the City ofSan Diego is approximately 375,000with 119,190 registered voters that livethroughout the communities of San Di-ego. The median income for Hispanicsis at $41,301 and this voting populationis primarily comprised of upwardly mo-bile middle class Hispanics. Their issuesare worlds away from Barrio Logan.

This is not to say that Barrio Logan is-sues take a back seat to anybody, theydon’t. Barrio Logan is the heart and soulof the Chicano movement, with historicmurals reflecting the pride and heritageof the Chicano community.

Yet when it comes to addressing theissues of this community, candidateswho stand in the middle of Chicano Parkpresent a façade of interest and concernbut do little to address the issues of theHispanic community. The Hispanic com-munity is being looked at as nothing

more than a commodity — as votesneeded for victory!

The candidates have not talked aboutpolitical empowerment of the commu-nity or representing the interests of thecommunity. What have the candidatessaid that will make a difference to His-panics? Why should Hispanics vote forone candidate over another? From whatwe have heard so far, after the election itwill be business as usual! Which meansthey will acknowledge the Hispanic voteand then move on!

We appreciate the fact that DavidAlvarez is in the race for mayor. Alvarezis from the community, the Barrio Lo-gan community, yet as such he is focusedon demonstrating that he is capable ofrepresenting the entire community, whileembracing the the idea of being a rolemodel for the Hispanic community. Apositive role model is a good thing, butwe already have role models that havecome from this community. Ben Huesoand Juan Vargas have been elected in re-cent years, and what has that gotten us?We need more than just role models.We need action heroes who will movethe Hispanic community forward andcreate change.

We need a candidate who will addressthe needs of Hispanics in Mission Baywho are looking for organization and avoice in their community. The middleclass Hispanics in Clariemont who areworried about their pensions, will theybe able to retire after 35 years on thejob with the city? Or, will they continueto pay the price for the political mishan-dling of the city’s budget? Hispanics inTierrasanta are concerned about the edu-cational achievement gap and the ever-rising cost of a college education.

Then of course are the issues that re-ceive a lot of attention in regards to dis-cussion and focus groups but very littleaction such as gangs, drugs, graffiti, hous-ing, unemployment all of which areprominent within the Hispanic commu-nities south of I-8 and north of Carlsbad.

Instead of addressing these issues, itis just easier for a photo opp standing infront of the kiosk in Chicano Park, ortalking in Spanish which Kevin Falconeris prone to do, which is seen more aspandering than addressing the issues ofthe community.

Politicians see the Hispanic vote as acommodity and for them it is all abouthow they package themselves to get thatvote, without committing themselves tothe Hispanic community!!!

What the Hispanic community needs isa political hero!

San Diego’s Mayoral candidates will facetough questions from local students at the May-oral Community Forum on Education sched-uled for October 30, 2013 at 5:30 pm atRoosevelt Middle School.

“Our young Chavistas will be San Diego’s

future leaders,” said Carlos LeGerrette, a ClubFounder. “The young people of our city de-serve the opportunity to ask their questions ofthose who want to be Mayor and to hear theiranswers about how they will support publiceducation that will prepare all young studentsto become future leaders.”

Mayoral Candidates To Hear QuestionsFrom Young Students

Students to Develop Questions for October 30th Mayoral Candidate Forum

By Steve SmithCALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION

It’s easy to be pessimistic about the futurethese days. Tea Party extremists (were) threat-ening to push our federal government into de-fault. Federal immigration reform is on the backburner until the shutdown and debt ceilingmesses are sorted out. In a host of states, anti-worker governors are hell-bent on gutting work-ers’ rights while giving more power to corpo-rate special interests.

But in California, a decidedly different storyis playing out. The end of the legislative ses-sion here brought huge gains to workers andtheir families that boost our state’s economyand bolster the middle class.

With the federal minimum wage stuck at$7.25, Gov. Brown signed AB 10, takingCalifornia’s minimum wage to $10 per hour byJanuary of 2016, a 25 percent wage increasefor low-wage workers in the state. While im-migration reform is stalled in DC, Gov. Brownsigned a slew of bills to protect immigrants andensure greater inclusion. We’ve tackled theunderground economy. Promoted good jobs.Axed a boondoggle of a corporate tax breakthat wasted taxpayer dollars.

This all comes on the heels of the passage ofProp. 30 in 2012 (which funded our schoolsand stabilized our budget) and the election ofDemocratic super-majorities in both the StateAssembly and State Senate, ensuring Tea Partyextremists couldn’t hold California hostage likethey’re doing with the shutdown and debt ceil-ing debacle in DC.

In short, California is accomplishing what fewin Washington DC can even imagine these days:Progress for working people.

California Labor Federation Executive Sec-retary-Treasurer Art Pulaski:

Labor led the way this year in bringing realequality and progress to working people in Cali-fornia. We reformed tax breaks that cost jobs,we won rights for domestic workers and carwash workers, we brought greater equality tohard-working immigrants, and we began theessential work of rebuilding the state’s middleclass. With these new laws, there’s no ques-

tion that California is the national leader in sup-porting workers and their families.

Among the notable legislative victories thisyear were the following bills Gov. Brown signedinto law:

• AB 10 (Alejo/Steinberg): Increased theminimum wage to $10 per hour by January of2016.

• AB 60 (Alejo): Expanded drivers licensesto all Californians, with key protections for im-migrant drivers.

• AB 93 (Assembly Budget Committee): Re-formed the wasteful Enterprise Zone corpo-rate tax breaks to reward employers who cre-ate good jobs.

• AB 241 (Ammiano): Granted daily andweekly overtime protection to domestic work-ers who have been excluded from most laborlaws.

• AB 263 (Hernandez)/AB 524 (Mullin)/SB666 (Steinberg): Enacted the strongest protec-tions for immigrant workers in the country tostop retaliation when workers speak out aboutunfair wages or working conditions.

• AB 537 (Bonta): Improved process for pub-lic sector bargaining to resolve disputes moreeffectively.

• AB 1387 (Hernandez): Protected car washworkers by preserving the car wash registryand increasing the bond to crack down on theunderground economy.

• SB 7 (Steinberg): Raised wages for con-struction workers by incentivizing compliancewith prevailing wage laws.

• SB 168 (Monning): Helped protect work-ers working for farm labor contractors by pro-viding successor liability to ensure wages arepaid.

• SB 400 (Jackson): Helped domestic vio-lence survivors keep their jobs and promotes asafer workplace by asking employers to workwith survivors to identify and minimize the riskof workplace violence.

• SB 770 (Jackson): Expanded paid family leaveto include time providing care for parents-in-law,siblings, grandparents and grandchildren.

If America needs a path forward, it ought tobe looking to California. Big things are hap-pening here. And we’re just getting started.

Close of Legislative Session BringsReal Gains to California Workers

THE PUBLIC FORUM ... EL FORO PÚBLICO...Government Shutdown adds hardshipand cost to funeral

(Editor’s Note: See the frontpage story “Lo-gan Heights veterans honor one of their own,”and on page 2 in Spanish, for the full storyrelating to this letter.)

It is seldom that makes my blood boil. Becom-ing aware or Army Capt. Jennifer Moreno’smemorial service at Chicano Park and as a mem-ber of the VFW at Logan Heights we becameaware that due to the government shut down thatwas no money for her burial.

This you nurse who got an officer’s commis-sion after graduating from the University fo SanDrancisco was very much a role model for young

struggling Latinas not only in Barrio Logan butthroughout San Diego County.

Her mother was beyond herself, crying, shak-ing, not able to even talk especially after learningthat because of the Government shutdown therewas no money for her burial.

I don’t need Halloween to get “spooked” thisis scary stuff, when you give your life to maintainor save other lives. Trust and Respect are in or-der.

What is the message being sent? To the Bar-rio, to her Familia, to the rest of us who are veter-ans and soon to be veteranos?

¡ASK A MEXICAN!

Commentary/Opinion Page

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: My wife and I arelooking to buy our first house. Beingyoung (ish) and hip (ish) we’re lookinginto buying in Santa Ana. It’s amazinghow much house and land you can getfor $350K compared to the two-bedroom stacked cracker boxes inSouth OC. My question is two-fold: HasSanta Ana always been predominatelyLatino, and if not, when did thisdemographic shift occur? Growing up insouth OC in the 1980s, Santa Ana wasjust a place where white kids DID NOTGO (at least not until we were older, andwanted to buy beer without gettingcarded). Second, the neighborhoods:why are some so pristine and some sortof terrifying? Wilshire Square andWashington Square are gorgeous, butyou go a couple of streets over, and itlooks like a São Paulo favela. Whatgives? Why were some neighborhoodsso amazingly preserved??

Mr. X

Dear Gabacho: Before I answer yourquestion, déjame put it in a national contextfor non-Orange County readers so they don’tskip ahead to the next question. Gentlecabrones: the gabacho refers to OC’scounty seat, the largest city in the UnitedStates with an all-Latino city council and onethat’s about 90 percent Latino. All majorcities or metropolitan areas have aneighborhood or ciudad like this, a place theReconquista gobbled up, that got demonizedfor decades by scaredy-cat gabachos andthat Brave New Urbanists are planning togentrify. The hipsters that are already there,meanwhile, adore their new barrio because ofthe low rents, older housing stock and quaintneighbors, neighbors they’ll call codeenforcement on the minute the music is tooloud on a Sunday morning or the front yard

corn grows too high.Back to the

gabacho: SanTana(and, yes: spell it likethis, as that’s how thenatives pronounce it)always had Mexicanneighborhoods due tohousing covenants thatrestricted where theycould buy homes. Once the Supreme Courtruled such regulations unconstitutional,Mexicans (and African-Americans, as well)tried to move on up in the city, only to havegabachos of your parents’ generation moveto soulless suburbs, where they bredprivileged pendejos like yourself whoexaggerate about EVERYTHING. You’veeven been to a favela? Of course not,because your hipster ass would either beturned into a drug mule or a puddle ofquivering piss. So to compare barrios tofavelas is insulting to your new neighbors,and typical of hipster douchebaggery. Can’twait to see the fit you’ll throw when the guyacross the street parks his truck on his lawnfor the first time…

Why do Mexicans love Van Damme?El Karatekero Loco

Dear Wab: An immigrant who speaks badEnglish, who kicks everyone’s ass forgetting in his way, who beds multiple womenyet has a heart of gold, who seems to fightfor vengeance or honor (and usually both)and always wins—what isn’t there to love?Jean—Claude Van Damme is our Belgianfood soldier for the Reconquista—minus theatrocity that was Double Team with DennisRodman, of course…

Por Maribel HastingsAMERICA’S VOICE

De costa a costa miles se manifestaronrecientemente, en 183 eventos en 40 estados,pidiendo que la Cámara Baja debata un plande reforma migratoria con vía a la ciudadanía.Esta semana otros miles convergerán en laparalizada capital federal con la mismapetición.

Aun en medio del tranque presupuestario,que culminó en el cierre del gobierno federal,activistas e inmigrantes no quitan el dedo delrenglón, aunque muchos consideren que setrate de un grito en medio del desierto.

Es prematuro escribir la esquela de lareforma migratoria porque, sobre todo en esteclima de inacción y partidismo, el tema siguerepresentando una buena oportunidad políticapara que ambos partidos, en especial losrepublicanos, demuestren que son capaces delegislar y atajar temas apremiantes para el país.

El cierre gubernamental plasma la disfun-cionalidad del Congreso de poder compartido,la politiquería barata de quienes están enconstante campaña y no cesan ni siquiera paraconcretar las promesas que formularonprecisamente durante las campañas.

Según sondeos, el tranque y las pataletas delos legisladores han resultado en los niveles deaprobación más abismales que el Congreso hayaexperimentado en los últimos años. La culpa escompartida por los dos partidos, pero losestadounidenses responsabilizan más a losrepublicanos, y no es por casualidad.

Ha sido perturbador el espectáculo que hanofrecido los republicanos en la Cámara Baja,con una treintena de congresistas extremistastomando como rehén a todo su caucus einsistiendo en cerrar el gobierno con miras arenegociar la ley sanitaria del Obamacare, quebuscan revocar a toda costa.

Las críticas a la excesiva y terca estrategia hanvenido de algunos republicanos, tantolegisladores como estrategas, preocupados porla ruta que lleva el partido y por un presidentecameral, John Boehner, que ha permitido queuna minoría extremista de su caucus lleve la vozcantante.

La preocupación es válida. Un nuevosondeo de Public Policy Polling comisionadopor MoveOn.org Political Action, encontró quela ira pública por el cierre gubernamental podríacostar a los republicanos el control de laCámara de Representantes.

Los demócratas necesitarían 17 escaños pararecuperar la mayoría de la Cámara deRepresentantes, al presente con un balance de234 republicanos y 201 demócratas. El sondeoencontró que en 17 distritos competitivosanalizados, los titulares republicanos podríanperder sus lugares. En otros cuatro, los titularesrepublicanos perdieron ventaja cuando losvotantes encuestados se enteraron de que surepresentante apoyó el cierre gubernamental.

Es también un grupo de extremistas repu-blicanos el que por años ha controlado elmensaje y la estrategia migratoria para perjuiciodel Partido Republicano.

Ahora que su imagen se ha visto todavía másafectada con el lío presupuestario, la reformamigratoria ofrece una vía de rehabilitación queel l iderazgo republ icano no debedesaprovechar.

Hay una mayoría para aprobar un presupues-to libre de condiciones sobre el Obamacare, ytambién existe la mayoría simple de 218 votospara impulsar la reforma migratoria en la Cámarade Representantes. El proyecto de ley dereforma que presentaron los demócratas lasemana pasada puede servir de punto departida.

Ambos partidos necesitan evidenciar algúnlogro legislativo de cara a las elecciones demedio tiempo en 2014.

Como clamaron a través del país miles depersonas de diverso trasfondo, es hora de quela Cámara Baja deje a un lado el circoelectorero y permita un debate y una votaciónde un plan de reforma migratoria que avance,aunque sea con una mayoría demócrata y conun reducido grupo de republicanos interesadosen sacar a su partido del hoyo que siguencavando, liderados por Boehner y por losextremistas que llevan la batuta.

Recientemente, a medio tiempo del partidode futbol americano entre los Redskins deWashington y los Cowboys de Dallas, elperiodista deportivo Bob Costas sintetizó lautilización de la palabra “Redskins” como unestandarte a la opresión y un insulto a lasNaciones Originarias de América del Norte.

“Redskins”, “indios”, “mestizos”, entre otros,encarnan elementos negativos que enaltece alque lo usa y denigra a la persona referida. Entérminos sociológicos, la utilización de estosconceptos son imposiciones del grupo(s)dominante(s) hacia los grupos subordinados.

Los comentarios que hizo Costas no son unacasualidad ni mucho menos una reacciónespontanea. Las ideas fueron articuladas an-tes del partido y están relacionados a la fechaalusiva de la llegada de los españoles al “nuevomundo”.

La versión oficial de esta llegada estámatizada con el susodicho de “descubrimientode América”.

Las crónicas de los españoles –de BernalDíaz del Castillo, entre otros— hacen unadescripción de los hechos de su llegada,utilizando el lenguaje dominante español,especialmente con una perspectiva ideológicaeurocentrista, donde ellos (los españoles) sonlos buenos y las naciones originarias de Américalos malos, los salvajes, los impuros, losprofanadores de la palabra de dios y losincivilizados.

Las crónicas españolas, muy raras veces,hacen alusión a culturas altamente capacitadas.En ningún momento los españoles trataron desocializar y entender las costumbres y creenciasde las Naciones Originarias de América. Porcierto, algunos derivados de la religión politeísta

indígena tendían, especialmente la religiónAzteca, a reprimir los derechos individuales ya ofuscar la vida del ser humano; podríaincluso considerárselos como elementos deuna costumbre barbárica. Empero, no todo loque encontraron los españoles fue malo.

Cristóbal Colón llegó a una de las islas delCaribe un 12 de octubre de 1492. Pensandoerróneamente que había llegado al este de laIndias, Colón bautizó a los habitantes de laisla con el nombre de indios. Con el correr deltiempo, los españoles etiquetaron al indio comosalvaje, incivilizado, impío, en palabras delfilósofo inglés Thomas Hobbes, como genteque vive en un “estado de naturaleza”.

Con la Encomienda, la Mita, y otros sistemassociales de exclusión y trabajo forzado, lasNaciones Originarias no solo fueron estigmati-zadas como “indios”, sino que también quefueron desprovistos de su esencia y de susderechos étnico-nacionales.

Hoy, en los países con poblacionesaltamente “indígenas”, la palabra indio se haconvertido en un insulto y en una forma depisotear al individuo. Muy similar a la palabra“niggro”, el cual menosprecia y confunde laesencia l de una persona que t ienedescendencia africana, la palabra “indio” violala identidad propia de las Naciones Originariasde América.

Aunque vanagloriado por la cultura deportivanorteamericana, “redskin” es un términopeyorativo y excluyente. Es un recuerdoconstante del ultraje europeo a las nacionesOriginarias de América del Norte. Bob Costasestá en lo correcto.

The Washington, D.C. National Footballleague (NFL) team is named the Redskins; ithas been for over 80 years. It was named theBoston Braves when it was in Boston.

Fans of the team call themselves RedskinNation. They are everywhere; they includePresidents, Senators, congressmen, HenryKissinger and lots of people despite Washing-ton not being a very large city.

A New York State recognized Native Ameri-can tribe, the Oneida, is trying to change thename because, the tribe says, REDSKINS de-means and insults “Native Americans,” a rela-tively new politically correct term. It is designedto replace “American Indian,” or just “Indian.”The Oneida Tribe finances its campaign againstthe REDSKIN name from its tax-free gam-bling casino.

One rung below professional football thissame general “team names” campaign againstethnic “insulting” has been running rampant atthe college level since protesters forcedCalifornia’s elite private Stanford University tochange its team name – the Stanford INDI-ANS – to the Stanford Cardinal.

Since then the National Collegiate AthleticAssociation (NCAA) has been forcing colleges/universities to change names the NCAA con-siders “insulting” of American Indian(Amerindian) people. The NCAA is an illegalcartel, an illegal monopoly in the eyes of many.

The NCAA threatens colleges/universitieswith withdrawal of athletic recognition abilityto compete with an NCAA schools.

The Associated Press (AP) carried this re-port in April, 2011:

“BISMARCK, N.D. — A new state law thatorders the University of North Dakota tokeep its Fighting Sioux nickname won’tshield the school from penalties for continu-ing to use a moniker the NCAA considershostile to American Indians, an NCAA ex-ecutive told the school Tuesday.

The law, which says UND must use thenickname and a logo featuring the profileof an American Indian warrior, “cannotchange the NCAA policy” against usingAmerican Indian nicknames, logos or mas-cots that are considered offensive, said Ber-nard Franklin, an NCAA executive vicepresident.

In a letter to UND President Robert Kelley,Franklin said the university must follow anagreement it made in October 2007 to dis-continue using the nickname and logo byAug. 15, 2011, unless it received approvalfrom North Dakota’s Spirit Lake and Stand-ing Rock Sioux tribes (one tribe, two reser-vations).

Spirit Lake tribal members endorsed thenickname and logo in a referendum, and thetribe’s governing council followed. TheStanding Rock Sioux’s tribal council, whichhas long opposed the nickname, has declined

to change its stand.”Interesting how the two sub-tribes split on

the issue, just as tribes split on the REDSKINname for the D.C football team. A Virginiatribe’s Chairman (Chief) is a Redskin fan andthinks the name is just fine. Oneida does not.

NCAA policy must mean it reacts if anyoneis “offended” not a majority or plurality, justone person.

This is an ongoing national dispute, which alsois close to this writer’s alma mater, San DiegoState University (SDSU).

Since the first San Diego State team wasfielded almost 100 years ago, the team’s nick-name has been, by student vote – the Aztecs.As the college campus was built on what wascalled Montezuma Mesa the name AZTECSis not coincidental.

Every American history student knows whoMontezuma was; he was the Aztec Emperorof one of the world’s largest empires in 1519when 200 Spanish soldiers of fortune led byHernando Cortes landed in Mexico and withthe help of Mexican Indian allies conqueredthe Aztec Empire and founded the modernworld as we know it.

Several years ago, fewer than ten Amerindianstudents and Anglo-fellow travelers on the SanDiego State campus challenged the use of theAztec nickname using the North Dakota Uni-versity case as precedent. The protest receivedsome serious attention because the local news-paper editorial staff was stupid and fell for theentire protest which had no basis whatsoever.¸First of all, there is no Aztec tribe today. Sec-ondly, the Aztecs merely passed through whatis now the United States of America on theirway south to the Valley of Mexico. The Az-tecs were never an American tribe.

Thirdly, the university blew off the complaintthen scheduled a referendum on the subject.The Aztec name won with more than 95% yesvotes.

The NCAA can stuff it. So can those thatprotest the name “Redskins.”

My favorite television advertisement showedlongtime Dallas Cowboy (NFL team) coachTom Landry, cowboy hat and range dust coatwalking out of a western saloon remarkingabout avoiding trouble in the form of Redskins— as several football players walked by himwearing NFL Redskin uniforms with the pat-ented Redskins logo on their helmets.

When he said “Redskins,” for a millisecondI fully expected to see a buckskin cladAmerindian with a feather head dress and bowand arrow (Johnny Depp?); I heartily laughedwhen I saw the “Washington Redskins” foot-ball players, Landry’s most competitive oppo-nents.

It was a credit card commercial; I laughedso hard I still remember it to this day.

Redskins, it is.

symbol of dehumanization, there is somethingbeyond them that is even more disturbing.What unfolds before the judge is not supposedto be taking place in an American courtroom,just as torture is not supposed to be part of“the American way.” What unfolds in these90-minute show trials is that the anonymousprisoners are identified, charged, convicted,sentenced and shipped to a private prison.

A recent court decision requires judges toaddress each defendant personally. That mayadd 30 minutes to this procedure. This is jus-tice American-style. It is lots of things. Butthe one thing it is not is a deliberative process.

For the prisoners, there is no true consulta-tion and no deliberation. The court grants athree-hour block each morning between 9 AMand noon for attorneys to consult with theirclients in the open courtroom. Each attorneyis assigned eight to nine clients per day (and iscompensated fairly well). What serious legalscholar will contend that one attorney can doan adequate job, much less a competent job,under such conditions and time constraints?

With such an assembly-line approach to thisprocedure, it is not a stretch to view this asAmerica’s modern version of Expedited In-dian Removal.

Since early 2008, I have witnessed this shamof a judicial procedure approximately a dozentimes, and every time, my students are liter-ally sickened by it. I too get internally ill fromthe exasperation produced by what passes fora judicial procedure. Each time, the studentshave wanted to ask the judge why the menand women are in chains. Each time, they alsohave had the impulse to ask the lawyers whythey participate in this farce. And each time,they want to ask the judge why the prisonersget sent off to a private prison? Who benefits?

Is that what this comes down to? Profitingfrom the misery of human beings - humanbeings who brave deserts, mountains and riv-ers for a chance at a better life?

Each time I visit, I have had students runout crying and some vomiting at the obscen-ity, the inhumanity of seeing human beingsshackled, treated like animals. And they al-ways ask: Why is it a crime to attempt to feedyour family?

The color of the prisoners never escapesthem. Many of them look like them. In manycases, they are them. Every semester, espe-cially this one, I always have students dealingwith family separations and deportations.

I remember the first time I went to this op-eration, President George W. Bush was inoffice. When Sen. Barack Obama ran for andwon the presidency, we all thought that thiskangaroo court procedure finally would be shutdown, something akin to the fall of the BerlinWall. Instead, as written into the current com-prehensive immigration reform proposal, thisExpedited Indian Removal program will be-come three times bigger than its current form.

It is incomprehensible that OperationStreamline hasn’t been shut down and insteadCongress may be expanding it.

There was a time when being apprehendedon the border simply meant returning the mi-grants across the border ... until someone de-cided that criminalization and incarcerationcould be profitable - literally, a big business.The more bodies, the more beds, the moremoney for the private prison industry.

Tucson human rights legend Isabel Garciavisited my classroom last month. In present-ing this topic, she noted that one time, an Afri-can-American delegation witnessed the op-eration and left early in disgust. Afterward,she asked them why they did not wait until itwas over. She said they left because the brownmen in shackles, all lined up on one side of thecourtroom, created the imagery of Africansin slave ships.

Yes. They could see it. Not the judge, notthe lawyers. Chances are good that all visi-tors who witness this daily dehumanization cansee something similar - something onerous thatoften cannot be described. This is compoundedby the fact that we live with death all aroundus on the militarized border - more than 6,000since NAFTA.

When my students leave the courtroom,they say they feel defiled, dirty ... as if theyhave just witnessed something abominable,something that should not be taking place,something contrary to the US Constitution,something amoral. And all of it takes placecompliments of our tax dollars.

Perhaps one day, this debased procedure willbe shut down permanently.

The uglier reality is that such an operationmight actually give prosecutors the oppositeidea of using a similar procedure for other kindsof crimes ... such as for traffic violations, theft,etc.

Really, it is sicker, more obscene and moreoffensive than anything that can be describedhere. Truly, it is Expedited Indian Removal.

Día de los muertosCall to Artists, CommunityMembers, Families,Organizations, Clubs,Everyone!Participate in San Ysidro’sDia de los Muertos PanteonFronterizo for a chance towin $4,000 in cash prizes!

When: Friday November1st, 2013Where: San Ysidro CommunityPark + Civic & Recreation Center

Dia de los Muertos is cele-brated throughout Latin Ameri-ca as an act of remembrance.On these days, every year,families celebrate their dead, byremembering them and wel-coming them back into theworld of the living for a visitalways too short. It is a traditionvery deeply rooted in comm-unity, history and culture.Traditionally, communities haveprocessions into the cemeterieswhere families clean and deco-rate the graves of their lovedones, leave ofrendas and sere-

PANTEÓN FRONTERIZOnade them with foods and songsof comfort.

On this side of the border,Dia de los Muertos is celebratedas an act of reassertion. Re-assertion that traditions like Diade los Muertos need to be prac-ticed and celebrated in order tosurvive when they cross theborder into the United States.In border communities, the re-ality of familial separation ismade all the more obvious bythe wall that separates mostfamilies from their homelands.Grandparents are usually bur-ied in other lands, and opportu-nities are missed to pass alongfamily stories to the youngergenerations. In San Ysidro, thelittle town nestled against theUS/Mexico border fence, wecelebrate Dia de los Muertosto keep these traditions alive.

With live Mariachi, BaletFolklorico and Danza Azteca,Casa Familiar, San Ysidro’sleading Social Services andCommunity Development or-ganization, hopes to pay hom-age to the dead by paying hom-age to the tradition of day ofthe dead itself. The San YsidroCommunity Park is trans-formed into El PanteonFronterizo, (a mock cemetery),where artists and communitymembers will create gravesand bring their offerings suchas, food, photos and momen-tos to best honor the dead they

may not be able to visit thisyear. The graves are ofrendasand their creation will pose thequestion, Who do you cel-ebrate, and how to you re-member? The Pan teonFronterizo is a collection of cre-ative graves, in honor of thosewho have passed, of thosewho’s graves are inaccessibleto us for whatever reason. Inour little park by the border,these graves will become ouraccess points. to our families,our traditions, our cultures, ourhistories. all of ours. celebrat-ing the bridging of borders oftime and space. celebrating ourdead, and keeping them aliveby re-membering our stories.

The celebration will takeplace at The San Ysidro CivicCenter, an indoor space, wherefamilies will be able to sit downand enjoy performances by ourlocal Balet Folklorico. Adjacentto the Civic Center, is the SanYsidro Community Park whichwill house our PanteonFronterizo, craft vendors, foodtrucks, and a live performanceby our musical highlight. TheCelebration is free to all, andchampurrado and pan demuerto will be given as is cus-tomary in Latin Americancountries.
