The Consul General of Mexico inSan Diego, Remedio Gomez Arnau,repeated it several times: “Educationis critical to have a better future.”

Indeed that phrase becomes a re-ality in the lives of the 162 studentswho this year received educationalgrants from the IME-BECAS Pro-gram, founded in 2a005 by the Mexi-can federal government in order tohelp raise the educational levels of theMexican population and people ofMexican origin in the United States.

The awards ceremony took place

on Tuesday, October 22, at the Con-sulate General of Mexico in San Di-ego, where Gómez Arnau stressedthe goal of the program.

“Education is going to help createa better world,” she said. “Not onlyfor us as individuals and for our fami-lies, but for all humankind. Thepresent generation must be better thanthe previous generation and that isachieved through education.”

The 162 students receiving schol-arships come from four institutions inSan Diego: Southwestern College andGrossmont-Cuyamaca CommunityCollege District, in higher education;

and San Diego County Library andACCESS Community Center, in thefield of adult education and training.

In total, the consulate gave out$45,000 in scholarships for the cur-rent school year. Since its inceptioneight years ago, IME- BECAS hasawarded more than $350,000 in edu-cational support to students in thecounty.

The recipients represent varioussectors of the Mexican community inSan Diego.

There is Alfredo Beltran, who ismajoring in mathematics at CuyamacaCollege, and emigrated from the stateof Hidalgo as a boy with his family.

“When I came to the U.S. I didnot speak English, so I hated school,”recalled Beltran. “Thanks to ateacher, who believed in me, encour-aged me to continue studying and Igot to help other students in school.”

There is Esau Cortez, who stud-ies economics at Grossmont Collegeand who was born in El Cajon toMexican parents.

“I grew up in neighborhoods andattended schools where I was theonly Latino,” he said. “That made meshy. Once I arrived at the commu-nity college I saw that there is muchdiversity and that helped me to excelin school and learn to speak in publicwithout fear.”

There’s also Alejandra Garcia, a

He has not received as much me-dia attention as the other candidates,but Mike Aguirre IS running forMayor of San Diego. Unfortunately,for him, he is running as a decidedunderdog, on the outside looking in asthe other big three candidates aregarnering all the money, endorse-ments, and most importantly all themedia attention. It didn’t used to bethat way, there was a time the nameMike Aguirre was frontpage newsseemingly every day.

Things could have been differentfor Aguirre, IF, back in the 1987 in aclose race for city council, Aguirrehad defeated Bob Filner. However, itwas not to be. Aguirre was makinghis first run for office and Filner bythen was a seasoned politician. Thatone race set the course for both menthat has now come full circle asAguirre tries to replace the disgraced

Mike Aguirre with a new attitude andnew moniker – the happy warrior!

Filner in this special election!Aguirre did not win that race in ‘87

but it did introduce him to the localpolitical scene. Prior to him runningfor city council, Aguirre was a virtualunknown having never run or holdingpublic office. The fact that he ran acompetitive race was a credit to hiscampaign and the effort he put intothe race.

Aguirre is no longer a newbie topolitics. His character and politicalleanings are defined and most folkshave an opinion about Aguirre oneway or another. There is not muchmiddle ground when it comes to MikeAguirre, you either love him or hatehim.

Prior to running for office in ’87Aguirre was a very successful law-yer. He earned his law degree fromBoalt Hall at the University of Cali-fornia at Berkely, worked as Assis-tant U.S. Attorney for the Depart-ment of Justice, and directed a grandjury investigation of pension rack-eteering. He would leave the JusticeDepartment and start his up his ownfirm where he specialized in securi-ties fraud, and by all accounts wasvery successful earning a good liv-ing.

Aguirre’s success with his privatepractice afforded him the time to takeon pro bono cases that were of inter-est to him.

Aguirre whose father was Span-ish and his mother of Mexican de-cent, took up the causes of the His-panic community. In 1990, Aguirreallied with the Chicano Federation tofile a successful federal voting rightslawsuit to overturn San Diego’s re-districting. In 1993 he successfully

Baja California: nueva cocina mexicana

Por Pablo J. Sáinz

Muchos sandieguinos cuan-do piensan en la comida deBaja California, lo primero quese les viene a la mente son lostacos de pescado. Pero latradición culinaria del estado haevolucionado bastante en losúltimos 20 años y se ha con-vertido en un epicentro desabores y fusiones.

“La cocina de Baja Califor-nia es hoy mucho más quetacos de pescado”, dijo JavierGonzález, director de la Culi-nary Art School, una insti-tución que se dedica a formara la siguiente generación dechefs en Tijuana. “Es, primera-mente, producto fruto de estarentre aguas de bajas tem-peraturas del Pacífico y lascálidas aguas del Mar deCortez. Es un mosaico que vadesde la cocina urbana, resta-urantes populares hasta lasmesas de nuestros restau-rantes de alta cocina y cocinade autor”.

La cocina de Baja Califor-nia no por nada recientementefue declarada herencia culturalintangible para el estado por laWorld Tourism Organization.

“No solo hablamos del lugaren donde nació la EnsaladaCaesar’s sino también la nuevacocina de Baja California contodas las influencias asiáticas,europeas y, por supuesto,mexicanas”, indicó González.

Esa diversidad que es laherencia culinaria de Baja Cali-

fornia se podrá saborear en eltercer Baja California Culi-nary Fest, que se realizaráprincipalmente en Tijuana del24 al 27 de octubre.

El festival será una grandemostración de todo lo que lacocina bajacaliforniana tieneque ofrecer. Habrá cenasespeciales, degustaciones,clases de cocina, competenciasy entretenimiento en vivo.También estarán presentesalgunas de las estrellas de laalta cocina de Baja California,incluyendo el chef Javier Pla-scencia, quien recientementeestuvo en un evento para losmedios de comunicación en SanDiego para promover el festi-val.

“Cada vez tenemos a mássandieguinos en nuestras me-sas”, dijo González, quien esparte del comité organizadordel evento. “La cocina urbanapor su costo y accesibilidad lesgusta mucho y la cocina finedining, nuestros vinos, cer-vezas artesanales y cafés, lesabren una puerta gustativa yde deleite enorme. No laimaginan hasta venir y pro-barla”.

Los organizadores del fes-tival están invitando a losresidentes de San Diego aasistir al evento y ver más alláde los estereotípicos lugarespara turistas en Baja Califor-nia.

“Podrán descubrir y dis-frutar una cocina que tienen asolo unos pasos que es rica,

diferente, muy sabrosa y quees de la región, es su cocinatambién”, dijo González.

Juan Tintos Funcke, secre-tario de turismo de Baja Cali-fornia, dijo que el Baja Cali-fornia Culinary Fest es unamuestra del gran talento queexiste en el estado.

“La cultura y los ingre-dientes de Baja California secelebran cada año con esteevento, reuniendo a los gran-des talentos, vinos finos ymicrocerveceras. Este es unode los mejores momentos paraver la variedad de sabores yexperiencias culinarias sinparalelo que ofrecemos”.

Para González, la co-cina bajacaliforniana es muydiferente a la cocina tradicionaldel centro de México.

“Es la más nueva expresiónculinaria de la cocina mexi-cana, su última y más novelcara”, apuntó. “Está muydistante de las cocinas delcentro de México en cuanto aproductos y técnicas que enbase a los productos re-gionales esta formando unestilo y personalidad propia”.

Muchos del evento del fes-tival serán en el Centro Cul-tural Tijuana (Cecut), inclu-yendo una expo culinariagratuita el viernes y sábado 25y 26 de octubre de 1 p.m. a 11p.m. Los costos de boletos paraotros eventos van de $7 a $75.

Many San Diegans whenthey think of the food of BajaCalifornia, the first thing thatcomes to mind are fish tacos.But the state’s culinary traditionhas evolved over the past 20years and has become an epi-center of flavors and fusions.

“Baja California cuisine to-day is much more than fishtacos,” said Javier Gonzalez, di-rector of the Culinary ArtSchool, an institution dedicatedto training the next generationof chefs in Tijuana. “It is first theproduct of being among the lowtemperature waters of the Pa-cific and the warm waters of theSea of Cortez. It is a mosaicranging from urban cuisine,popular restaurants to the tablesof our fine restaurants and cui-sine.”

The cuisine of Baja Califor-nia not for nothing was recentlydeclared an intangible culturalheritage for the state by theWorld Tourism Organization.

“We not only talk the birth-place of the Caesar’s salad butalso of the new Baja Californiacuisine with Asian, Europeanand, of course, Mexican influ-ences,” Gonzalez said.

That diversity in the culinaryheritage of Baja California willbe tasted in the third Baja Cali-fornia Culinary Fest to be heldmainly in Tijuana through Oc-tober 27th.

The festival will be a greatdemonstration of all that thedishes Baja California has tooffer. There will be special din-ners, tastings, cooking classes,competitions and live entertain-

ment. Also attending will besome of the stars of the hautecuisine of Baja California, in-cluding chef Javier Plascencia,who recently was at a mediaevent in San Diego to promotethe festival.

“Every time we have moreSan Diegans on our tables,” saidGonzalez, who is on the orga-nizing committee of the event.“Urban cuisine that’s affordableis really liked, but also ourcooking and fine dining, wines,craft beers and coffees, theyopen a door and delight thattastes great.”

Festival organizers are invit-ing residents of San Diego toattend the event and see beyondthe stereotypical tourist placesin Baja California.

“You can discover and en-joy food that is rich, different,and very tasty and it is in theregion, is your kitchen too,” saidGonzalez.

Juan Tintos Funcke, secre-tary of tourism in Baja Califor-nia, said that the Baja Califor-nia Culinary Fest is a sample ofthe great talent that exists in thestate.

“Culture and the ingredientsof Baja California are cel-ebrated every year with thisevent, bringing together top tal-ent, fine wines and micro-brew-eries,” Tintos Funcke said.“This is one of the best times tosee the variety of tastes and un-paralleled culinary experienceswe offer.”

For Gonzalez, Baja Califor-nia cuisine is very different fromthe traditional cuisine of centralMexico.

“It is the newest culinary ex-

pression of Mexican cuisine,” hesaid. “It is very far from the cui-sines of central Mexico in termsof products and techniquesbased on regional products. Itis forming its own style and per-sonality.”

Many of the festival eventswill be at the Centro CulturalTijuana (Cecut), including a freeculinary expo on Friday andSaturday October 25 and 26from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. The costof tickets for other eventsranges from $7 to $75.

Baja California: New Mexican cuisine

SALINAS — By the time AlmaTorres turned 12, her fatherhad been back and forth be-tween the family’s home inMichoacan, Mexico and theUnited States so many timesthat he decided it would be bestto just bring the entire familyto live with him in King City,California.

The elder Torres, seeing thatthe price of bread had in-creased to the point that hecould no longer make a livingworking as a security guard atthe local television station, be-gan going to California in themid-90s to supplement hisearnings by working in thefields. But by the early 2000’s,the elder Torres had hadenough.

As his daughter, now 23,puts it: “It was in 2002 whenwe came here for the first, andlast, time.”

The Torres family was partof a wave of immigrants whoarrived in the mid-90s during aperiod of economic and politictumult in Mexico. In 1994, thegruesome assassination inTijuana of presidential candi-date Luis Donato Colosiospurred a massive exodus ofinternational investors; ErnestoZedillo, a neoliberal, waselected president; and theNorth American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA) inun-dated the country with cheap,U.S.-produced food products,at the expense of Mexicanfarmers.

The immigration stories toldby young people, like Torres,who crossed the US-Mexicoborder as children, are oftenmuch different than those oftheir parents, who speak ofdays spent crossing unforgiv-ing deserts, swimming acrossrivers and running full speed toavoid La Migra.

“We came with a lady — itwas (me), my sister and twoother cousins,” she recalls.“They were younger and I wasthe oldest. We went to the air-port and landed in Tijuana. Iwent with one lady and mymother with another. I remem-ber that we were crossing theborder through the main gate.One of the children that camewith us got sick and began to

vomit. So we had to get out ofthe line and go back. This timethey gave us a pill to sleep. Bythe time I awoke, I was on thisside.”

Moving to a new city is hardenough for any 12-year-old.But for Torres, moving to KingCity from her small ranch inMichoacan meant adjusting toa new country, a new language,and a foreign culture.

“I entered school (in theU.S.) in the seventh grade.The language, the people, thecustoms, everything was dif-ferent and it was very hard toadapt … I didn’t understandwhat people were telling me,and I became isolated. My sis-ters would cry because it wasso difficult.”

And, like so many undocu-mented teens in the U.S., whenit came time to think about col-lege, Torres had no idea whather options were, let alonewhere to begin.

“After I graduated highschool I didn’t know that Icould go to college. I had noidea what I wanted to study; Ididn’t know what my majorwould be; I just knew that Iwanted to [continue going] toschool.”

In a scenario all too familiarto many immigrants who ar-rived in the U.S. as children,Alma remembers how her par-ents gave her “the talk” — thatshe might have to choose thecheapest option, a communitycollege maybe, because shewas undocumented.

“I think I always knew Iwas undocumented. But itwasn’t until high school that Ilearned that I don’t have thesame benefits or opportunitiesas other people,” she says.“Others would talk about go-ing to college or getting theirdrivers license but not [my sis-ters and I]. I knew. It’s in highschool that it clicks that youdon’t have the same opportu-nities.”

Not knowing what optionswere available for her afterhigh school graduation, she gota job working at a packing shed,working a late shift from 2 pmto 11 pm. After spending a yearon the job, Torres had gatheredenough information on her ownto enroll at Hartnell Commu-nity Collge in nearby Salinas.

dentro del Congreso sobre lasalud de la mujer.

Lo destacado del evento esel saber que ante todo, elgobierno está abierto a lasnegociaciones en un tema tanimportante como lo es la saludde la mujer a través de diversasopciones o alternativas comolas que ofrece Planned Par-enthood, que cuenta con supropia fundación política amanera de extensión de lapropia organización para velarpor los intereses de la saludreproductiva femenina y asícumplir con su misión comoasociación.

Dicha fundación se hamantenido pendiente y enconstante apoyo a las reformasque favorecen los intereses desus pacientes-en su mayoríamujeres- por ello, es importantedemostrarle su apoyo a losrepresentantes del congresoque toman las decisiones sobreel rumbo de los recursos ylegislaciones que rigen elestado de California.

Most HispanicsCannot Name One

Three-quarters of Latinosliving in the United States saythat their community needs anational leader, but about thesame share either cannotname one or don’t believe oneexists, according to a new na-tional survey of Hispanicadults by the Pew ResearchCenter.

When asked to name theperson they consider “themost important Hispanicleader in the country today,”62% say they don’t know andan additional 9% say “noone.” Yet, three-quarters ofHispanic adults say it is “ex-tremely” (29%) or “very” im-portant (45%) for the U.S.Hispanic community to havea national leader advancing itsconcerns. This sentiment ishigher among foreign-bornand Spanish-dominant His-panics.

U.S. Supreme Court Jus-tice Sonia Sotomayor andU.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) were each cited by 5%of survey respondents as themost important Hispanicleader in the country today.Former Los Angeles mayorAntonio Villa-raigosa (3%)and U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez(2%) were the only othersmentioned by more than 2%of respondents.

The survey was conductedat a time when Latino politicalleaders and civic organizationshave been pressing hard forlegislation in Congress to cre-

ate a pathway to citizenship forthe estimated 11.7 million im-migrants, the vast majority ofthem Latino, who are living inthis country illegally.

Even though most Latinossay their community needs anational leader to advance itsconcerns, the survey finds thatnot all Latinos agree that theircommunity has shared values.Four-in-ten (39%) Latinossay that U.S. Latinos of dif-ferent origins share “a lot” ofvalues, while another 39% sayU.S. Latinos share “some”values. An additional 19% saythat they share few or no val-ues. Immigrant Latinos aremore likely than native-bornLatinos to say those of theirLatino origin group have a lotof values in common withLatinos from different coun-tries living in the U.S. (43%versus 33%).

When asked how manyvalues U.S. Hispanics sharewith people living in their fami-lies’ country of origin, 38% say“a lot,” 34% say “some,” and25% say “only a little” or “al-most nothing.” Among His-panic-origin groups, Salva-dorans are most likely to saythey share a lot of values withthose in their home country. Bycontrast, Cubans are the mostlikely to say they share only alittle or almost nothing withpeople in their home country.

Among the report’s otherfindings:

• Just one-in-five (20%)survey respondents say theymost often describe them-selves by the pan-ethnic labels

“Hispanic” or “Latino.” Abouthalf say they usually use theirfamily’s Hispanic-origin term(such as Mexican, Cuban,Salvadoran) to identify them-selves, followed by 23% whouse “American” most often.

• When asked which pan-ethnic term they prefer, “His-panic” or “Latino,” half (50%)say they have no preference.When a preference is ex-pressed, Hispanic (33%) ispreferred over Latino (15%)by a margin of 2-1.

• Half (49%) of all Latinossay they consider themselvesa typical American, while 44%say they feel different from thetypical American——a sharethat rises to 67% among im-migrants who came to theU.S. in the past five years.

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRALEl Soporte Informativo Para Millones

de HispanosPor Luisa Fernanda Montero

Luisa Fernanda Montero

Los eventos políticos de losúltimos días en Washington,llevaron a muchos a creer, nosin razones, que el debatemigratorio se apagaría y quelas esperanzas de que lasituación de millones de per-sonas en el limbo se acabarían.

Tras la debacle fiscal quepuso de manifiesto las debili-dades más ruines del congresoestadounidense, ¿podría lareforma migratoria volver aestar en la palestra? ¿Estarándispuestos algunos a arriesgarel poco capital político queposeen, con un debate comoel que nos ocupa? Está porverse. El espacio está dadopara retomar el debate en laCámara.

Claro, está visto que a lahora de poner en la balanza elbien común y los interesespartidistas, mezquinos o no,ganan los intereses partidistas.Siendo así, la duda es grande.Porque hay quien diría quecabe la posibilidad de quehabiendo alcanzado records deimpopularidad, el partido repu-blicano quiera recuperarlaapostándole a los votanteshispanos, queriendo con-graciarse con esa minoríadeterminante que cuando deurnas y elecciones se tratapesa, y pesa mucho. Es posible.

De acuerdo con la analistademócrata María Cardona,este es un buen momento paraque los republicanos “rehabi-liten su imagen a los ojos delpueblo americano y demues-tren su liderazgo en el tema dela reforma migratoria”, un

tema que según la analistacuenta con el apoyo de vastasmayorías.

Si, está claro que el asuntode la reforma despierta muchassimpatías y que la gran mayoríade los estadounidenses estánde acuerdo en que es necesa-ria e imperativa; pero tambiénes cierto que despierta odios yextremismos. ¿Es este un buenmomento para traerla a lugar?¿Puede ser la reforma la puntadel ancla de un momento dereconciliación política? ¿Oserá mejor dejarla en el cajóna la espera de mejores vientos?

Lo cierto, es que, como lorecuerda Simon Rosemberg delNew Policy Institue, “estamosmás cerca hoy de lo que nuncahemos estado”. De acuerdocon el analista la distancia en-tre republicanos y demócratasno es tan grande como algunoscreen. Rosemberg es optimistay cree que es posible que elpresidente Barack Obama esteconvirtiendo en ley una refor-ma que saque de las sombrasa los más de 11 millones deinmigrantes que viven y traba-jan en este país, en pocosmeses.

Parece que el presidenteBarack Obama comparte suoptimismo, a juzgar por suactitud al traer de regreso, hacepocos, días el tema. O ¿seráuna estrategia? No es muyseguro que la necesite ahora,está claro que la crisis lofortaleció.

El asunto entonces, es si eldebate migratorio es oportuno,si tiene esperanzas y si el clima

político es realmente favorablepara su aprobación.

Hasta ahora la Cámara noavanza en el debate del pro-yecto aprobado por el senado.Tiempo congelado. No pasanada.

¿Qué hacer? No nos quedanmuchas opciones. Una clau-dicar. Olvidarnos de que lareforma no es un lujo si no unaurgencia y seguir nuestrasvidas como si nada, porque alfin y al cabo, el tema es de lospolíticos de Washington quepriorizan sus necesidadespartidistas y demás y eso deque exista un “buen momento”para la reforma es una ilusión.Dos, nos negamos a permitirque la injusticia se siga hacien-do presente en las vidas demillones de personas.

Bajar la guardia, claudicares aceptar que la justicia noexiste, negar la posibilidad deequilibrio en nuestras sociedadesy asumir que no merecemosvivir en una sociedad que nosincluya.

Tenemos que seguir participandoen nuestras diversas comuni-dades, asociaciones, sindicatoso grupos de activistas defen-sores de los derechos de losinmigrantes. Tenemos queseguir estando presentes, si nolo creamos nosotros mismos,el momento nunca llegará.

Reforma migratoria: ¿hay esperanza?defended the United FarmWorkers Union in Yuma, Ari-zona in a case with lettucegrower Bruce Church.

But it was one case in par-ticular that really put MikeAguirre on the political map.In 1996, Aguirre went to courtto throw out a 1995 contractbetween the City of San Di-ego and the San Diego Charg-ers football team. In the con-tract, the city agreed to issue$60 million of bonds to reno-vate the football team’s sta-dium, and, in a controversialclause, promised to constantlymaintain the stadium as a state-of-the-art venue. The city hadalso agreed to guarantee thesale of 60,000 game tickets atprices to be set by the Charg-ers. Aguirre’s suit and the en-suing scandal surrounding themaintenance clause compelledthe city to renegotiate with theChargers in 1998.

Taking on the Chargers andthe City branded Aguirre as anoutsider and to most folkssomething short of a hero. Thiswould serve him well as hegeared up for his next politicalcampaign, City Attorney.

Aguirre was well positionedfor his race as City Attorney.This was at the height of thePension Fund Scandal and theprevious City Attorneys hadbeen branded as nothing morethan a rubber stamp for theCity Council.

Aguirre took on the mantelof being an outsider and amuckraker. With his years ofexperience litigating pensionfraud cases he was seen as theman to step into the CityAttorney’s office and fight forthe residents.

In 2004 Aguirre became theCity Attorney for San Diego.In his four year term Aguirrewas bold and aggressive rep-resenting his office and thepeople of San Diego. A 2008Wall Street Journal articlepraised Aguirre’s efforts to ridthe San Diego of hundreds ofmillions of dollars of allegedlyillegal pension benefits.

At the same time Aguirre’sbold, aggressive style rubbed

the status quo the wrong way.The mayor was a Republicanand there was a constant feudbetween the two elected lead-ers. While Aguirre had the sup-port of the great silent major-ity, Mayor Sanders had the sup-port of the Republican rightleaning newspaper in town andthey did their best to attackAguirre throughout his term.

Four years of negativepress, despite all the goodAguirre did accomplish, hadthe desired affect, in 2008Aguirre lost his reelection bid.

With this special election toreplace Bob Filner, Aguirresaw this as an opportunity tobecome the next mayor of SanDiego and as a sort of refer-endum on his years as CityAttorney.

“As time has passed peoplehave come to acknowledgethat I was treated prettyroughly and all I was trying todo was to help and serve thepeople,” as Aguirre recalled thetumultuous days as City Attor-ney. “I saved the city over$250 million dollars in the casesthat we won, and I was able tonegotiate an early settlementwith the Securities and Ex-change Commission thathelped the city get its creditrating back earlier than it wouldhave. And I established the cityattorney as an independent rep-resentative of the public.”

“If people look back at whatI did, I suffered political con-sequences for doing what wasright. In the long run that maybe a positive political thing tohave done because the peoplewill come to appreciate thefact that they had someone inoffice that put their interestahead of their own,” continuedAguirre.

So what exactly convincedAguirre to run for office know-ing that would be facing anuphill battle?

“When I saw who was run-ning, I saw the system comeright back into place,” de-scribed Aguirre. For Aguirrethe system is the good old boysystem that in this case is sup-porting Kevin Faulkner and theunion supported candidates,David Alvarez and NathanFletcher.

So once again, Mike Aguirresees himself as not a part of thesystem or least not a part of thespecial interest system that usesits money to buy the office.

“The big differences I seethis time, special interest are

not content anymore with hav-ing influence. The special in-terest attitude is that they canmake anyone mayor,” statedAguirre.

Mike Aguirre sees himselfas a different person todaythen when he was City Attor-ney, as he described it; it is hisnewfound attitude of being “ahappy warrior.”

“The difference betweenbeing City Attorney and beingMayor is night and day,” ex-plained Aguirre. “As theMayor you are putting out ideasand trying to get people to goalong with those ideas so thetools you use are tools of per-suasion. Where as an attorneythe tools you use are lawsuits.The job of the City Attorney isto defend and bring lawsuits.”

“As the mayor your job isto persuade, to use coopera-tion, and to try and get peopleto work together. To create avision and try to get people tomobilize behind it.”

Aguirre believes that withthe passage of time from hisdays as City Attorney that thevoters will have a historicalperspective on his service tothe city and see all the goodthat he did then, that will carrythrough as he serves the cityas Mayor.

While most folks anticipatedthe old Aguirre to come outwith his guns a blazing, attack-ing the status quo, Aguirre de-scribes his days as City Attor-ney as hand-to-hand combat,instead what they have gottenis a much quieter, nicer MikeAguirre.

Will a nicer Mike Aguirreovercome the odds and get intoa runoff for Mayor? We don’tknow.

We have known Mike Aguir-re for a long time now. In fact,this paper supported Aguirreover Filner in 1987. We havecome to like him as a personand when people ask about him,we always tell them to sit andtalk with Mike. After you hearwhat he has to say, you willcome away from him with agreater understanding of the is-sue, his vision, and of him as aperson. Mike’s biggest problemis that you can’t package himinto a sound bite, and there justisn’t enough time for him to sitand talk with all the voters…

High school students takingcollege courses at MiraCostaCollege will no longer have topay enrollment fees, thanks toa change in policy approved byMiraCosta College trustees atits October 22 meeting.

The change comes a littlemore than a month after Mira-Costa College signed an agree-ment to offer college-creditcourses at Carlsbad’s newlyopened Sage Creek HighSchool. At the time, MiraCostaCollege agreed to waive enroll-ment fees for all concurrentlyenrolled Carlsbad Unified stu-dents taking MiraCosta Collegecredit courses, whether at SageCreek, the college’s campusesin Oceanside and Cardiff, oronline. Last night’s board ac-tion extends this to all concur-rently enrolled high school stu-dents who are enrolled in lessthan 12 units at MiraCosta Col-lege, though these students willstill have to pay for books andsupplies, in addition to parkingand other fees.

“This is great news for lo-cal high school students andtheir parents,” said MiraCostaCollege Superintendent/Presi-dent Francisco Rodriguez. “Itremoves a substantial financialbarrier while giving them achance to earn college credit,get a taste of college life andinspire them to continue theireducation.”

“Our situation is not good,but we do our best,” saidGarcia. “It is not easy, but weare studying very hard.”

Dr. Angelica Suarez, vicepresident of student affairs atSouthwestern College, saidthe school would distribute thefunds only to undocumentedstudents like Garcia.

“We think they are the oneswho would benefit the mostfrom these scholarships be-cause they are not receivinganything from elsewhere,” shesaid.

Finally, there’s Mrs. EstherHernandez Nuñez, a motherwho only studied until fifthgrade in her native Oaxaca.She obtained her elementaryschool certificate at a Mexi-can government-sponsoredcommunity plaza and is nowcompleting middle school.Her goal, she said, is to com-plete high school.

The desire that made hercontinue with her studies hasinspired her youngest son toimprove his grades, she said.

“Before he had bad grades,but looking at me studying, hisacademic performance hasimproved,” said HernandezNuñez, smiling.

For Gomez Arnau, thesestudents’ stories reaffirm herbelief: “The best thing a soci-ety can do for its people is toprovide an education.”

Kevin se pasa el peine porla cabellera, afina su bigote quenos recuerda las fotos denuestros abuelos, guarda elpeine en uno de los bolsillostraseros de su pantalón y subeal escenario. Toma su con-trabajo blanco, mira a sucompañero de banda, Sage, yarrancan su presentación.

Parecen divertirse, a vecesdialogan con el público y todosquieren bailar. La música fluye.

Este dúo surgido en 2008 sellama “The Easy Leaves”(http://www.theeasyleaves.com), una banda que interpretamúsica country con influenciasrockeras. O quizá sea rock coninfluencias country. Los límitesson difíciles de establecer. Peroa ellos no les importa.

“Tenía una banda de rock yun día el baterista se fue...Entonces pensé que mejor seríatener una banda de cuerdas”,dice riendo Kevin.

La banda “The Easy Leav-es” surgió casi por casualidaden Santa Rosa, en pleno Vallede Sonoma, famoso por susvinos, restaurantes gourmets y

su hermoso paisaje —al nortede San Francisco.

Kevin Carducci y SageFifield se encontraron oca-sionalmente en varios lugaresbohemios, con microfonosdisponibles para artistas dis-puestos a compartir sus talen-tos. Así empezaron a cono-cerse y a complementarse enel escenario.

El dúo adoptó el estilo mu-sical country de manera natu-ral. “Hay una simplicidad muyatractiva en este estilo, sepresta para contar historias, megusta contar historias”, ase-gura Sage. “Contamos todotipo de historias. No se trataqué historias, sino cómo lascuentas... Siento que el coun-try es el destino natural demuchas historias”.

Por ejemplo, en el tema“Fool on a String” —uno de los10 temas incluidos en el CD

debut de la banda, “AmericanTimes”— nos cuentan de unatraición y separación amorosa.“Un tema clásico, al estilo OtisRedding”, asegura Kevin.

No todo es amor en suscanciones, naturalmente. “Creoque reflejamos distintos as-pectos sociales a través denuestras historias”, comentaSage. Ambos reconocen lainfluencia musical de las bandasclásicas de rock de los 60s y70s. Y para demostrarlo, men-cionan los nombres de RollingStones, Beatles, Bob Dylan yKris Kristofferson.

Pero más allá de influencias,The Easy Leaves posee supropia personalidad y ya em-pieza a reclamar atención enel ocupado espectro del en-tretenimiento.

Speaking to the nation after Congressreached a deal to reopen the government andtemporarily raise the debt ceiling, PresidentBarack Obama said we are “Americans first”and need to put partisan interests aside to getthings done.

But can we? The recent shenanigans do notbode well for the future.

The resolution of the shutdown always hingedon whether House Speaker John Boehner, aRepublican, would defy the tea party hard-lin-ers in his party and allow a vote on a bill that amajority of Republicans did not support. Whathave we learned about Boehner’s leadership,or lack thereof?

We are already hearing two extreme view-points. Rep. Raul Labrador and other staunchconservatives and tea party members gave himkudos. Boehner’s job as speaker of the Houseseems safe, at least for now. But others in theRepublican Party, and outside of it, say Boehnerneeds to grow a spine to stand up against thetea party caucus and Sen. Ted Cruz, the ulti-mate architect of the shutdown fiasco of 2013.

Such differing views about the role Boehnerplayed and how he led his troops reflects theexact polarization that produced the fingernails-to-the-chalkboard tension that caused the shut-down face-off in the first place.

In press conferences and TV appearances,Cruz and House tea party members said timeand time again that they were doing what the“American people” asked them to do. Theytalked about those who cheered on the gov-ernment shutdown to get rid of the AffordableCare Act.

But polls say most Americans disapprovedof the Republican tactics and did not want thegovernment to shut down over Obamacare.These Americans give a historically low disap-proval rating to Republicans and the tea partyin particular. Those same numbers give Obamaand the Democrats confidence in saying theyare the ones who are actually listening to theAmerican people.

The problem for Boehner as a leader of afractured caucus is that he is listening to only asmall but loud fraction of the American elec-torate. The voices of this America are venge-ful if they don’t get their way. And their lead-ers were clearly able to compel Boehner torebuff the other more mainstream and moder-ate America that seeks compromise and reso-lution.

So did Boehner display good leadership? Forhis tea party caucus, yes. For the country, no.

And yet, going to the mat for the tea party mightenable Boehner to push them hard to avoid thisdestructive path next time. It might give himthe backbone he will need to stand up to themin the coming months and listen to the other“America” that represents more reasonablemiddle-of-the-road voices. These also happento be a majority of the country — Republicans,Democrats and independents. They are thevoters that decide presidential elections and areprecisely the ones the tea party is alienating.

The bigger problem for moderate and prag-matic Republicans is that the tea party doesn’tcare about the Republican Party’s shrinkingWhite House prospects. But it does care aboutits own and about keeping control of the Houseof Representatives. This could be enough toget the tea party to rethink its strategy.

Americans have had it. The most recentCNN poll shows 54% of Americans think it isa bad thing for the country that the GOP con-trols Congress. For the first time ever, pollsshow 60% of voters are ready to boot all ofCongress out – including their own represen-tatives.

While many strategists believe the House isstill safe for Republicans, a recent Public PolicyPolling survey, conducted by the Democraticpollster for MoveOn.org, a liberal activist group,suggests that the Democrats in competitiveRepublican districts are ahead. And Democratsneed only to flip 17 districts to gain control ofthe House.

There are 17 districts held by Republicansthat Obama won in 2012. There are 17 dis-tricts held by Republicans where Obama lostby 2 points or less. These are districts wherebecause of Boehner’s poor leadership anti-teaparty backlash could help Democrats win seats.

Boehner’s leadership will soon be tested yetagain — on immigration, the farm bill and thebudget, the three issues that Obama says hewill push in the remainder of his term. He canchoose to be a strong leader for the tea party,or be a strong leader for the country, truly workwith Obama and the Democrats, and help healthe battered image of his party and of Wash-ington. He can seal his fate as a true leader, oras the captain of the Titanic.

Maria Cardona is a Democratic strategistand a Principal at the Dewey Square Group,where she founded Latinovations (http://www.latinovations.com/) and shares insight-ful commentary on current events. She is alsoa former senior adviser to Hillary Clinton,and former communications director to theDemocratic National Committee.

It’s that time of the year when celebrationsare held throughout the country to herald theaccomplishments of Hispanic Americans.

But, it’s also the time of the year when per-sons of Hispanic origin revisit the frequentlyasked question of whether they prefer to beidentified by the term Latino or Hispanic.

Last week when I attended the signing ofthe book Latino Americans by Ray Suarez atthe National Press Club in Washington, D.C.,one of the attendees, a young Peruvian woman,asked that very question of the author.

Since Suarez didn’t address the question of“Latino or Hispanic?” in his much talked aboutbook, he turned the microphone over to me.I’ve been cast as the person that coined theterm Hispanic for the federal government eversince the Washington Post interviewed me onthe subject in 2003.

Since then, I’ve received numerous com-ments from people all over the country abouttheir feelings one way or another so needlessto say I am a most enlightened individual onthe subject matter.

After explaining my position on choosing theterm Hispanic over Latino, I was surroundedby several Hispanics wanting to learn more. Iwill do the same in this article and hopefullyput to rest many of the questions frequentlyasked about the subject.

Latino or Hispanic? It’s Hispanic for the Fed-eral Government

First, let me be clear that I didn’t invent theword, “Hispanic,” that word has been in exist-ence for centuries. But I do take credit for help-ing coin the term, Hispanic for the federal gov-ernment.

It all started with an education report on Na-tive Americans and Hispanics that was releasedin the early 1970’s by the then Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare (HEW).

Rather than focus on the recommendations,the report’s advisory group instead focused onthe terms used to describe the two minoritygroups, which they deemed unacceptable.

The Native Americans, for example, werecalled Indians and fearing confusion with thoseof East Asian Indian background rejected theterm outright, not to mention they referred tothemselves as the first Native Americans.

Hispanics were referred to as Chicano, Mexi-can-American, Cuban and Borinquen/PuertoRican. The Hispanic advisors demanded that amore universal term that encompassed all His-panic subgroups, including Central and SouthAmericans, be adopted.

Back in the 1970s, no entity, be it public or pri-vate sector, had a uniform way of collecting dataon its population, thus the timing of the complaintsfrom the Native Americans and Hispanics wasfortuitous at best.

Since funding for the education report camefrom HEW, it fell upon its Secretary Caspar G.Weinberger to establish an interdepartmental AdHoc Committee to develop racial and ethnic defi-nitions to help in the department’s data collectionactivities.

The Ad Hoc Committee was divided into taskforces made up of Asian, Caucasian/White, Black,Hispanic and Native American civil servants.

I was the only Mexican-American on the His-panic Task Force but was joined by two col-

leagues of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent.Six months of discussions on ‘Latino or His-

panic?’Since it appeared that our recommendations

could impact other data gathering activitiesthroughout the federal government, the Ad HocCommittee membership was expanded to in-clude representatives from the Census Bureauand the Office of Management & Budget.

Incidentally, the Ad Hoc Committee’s racial/ethnic categories were adopted by the CensusBureau and with slight modifications, are stillused by the federal government and the pri-vate sector.

The Hispanic Task Force met for almost sixmonths, entertaining terms such as Spanish-speaking, Spanish-surnamed, Latin American,Latino and Hispanic. I became focused onthose persons of Spanish origin that were his-torically discriminated against.

For years I witnessed as these persons weredenied their voting and their housing rights, andtheir educational and job opportunities pulledaway in favor of others.

The only way to ensure that these peopleweren’t continued to be forgotten and dismissedwas to show statistics that proved their lowstanding in America’s social strata.

To this end, the term Hispanic seemed theone that would be inclusive of all persons ofSpanish descent and which in turn would countthis population group accurately. To complicatematters, there were those jumping on the “His-panic bandwagon, “ that should have knownbetter.

For example, in the job market, there werethose with Spanish surnames or were born inLatin America but weren’t of Hispanic origingetting hired over those that were historicallydiscriminated against.

Since data was scarce, those that did the hir-ing didn’t know whether the person they werebringing on board was actually of Hispanic ori-gin. Thus, to ward against this type of folkstaking away from the ones that deservedlyneeded help, the term Hispanic again seemedthe logical choice.

I felt then and still do, that Latino only servesto askew data because if taken literally, the termincludes Italians and other Europeans that con-sider themselves to be of Latin origin.

Never mind that the term doesn’t help toidentify and protect those historically discrimi-nated in this country due to their Spanish ori-gin.

Latino or Hispanic? Let’s face it, the peoplein America of Spanish origin have been dis-criminated against because of the color of theirskin and their Spanish sounding names, nothingcan change that except laws but laws unfortu-nately don’t necessarily change hearts andminds.

So in order for people of Spanish origin tobetter share in the American dream, we shouldhave in place an accurate accounting of theirneeds and accomplishments, and the only wayto account for this, is to trace their origin be-ginning with the Spanish influence that has longbeen a blessing and a curse, to their rightfulplace in America.

GUEST EDITORIAL:

Is it Latino or Hispanic?

Sweetwater Superintendent Brandwill go to bat for, for-profitinstitutions such as Aliant U but won’tgo to bat for the teachers, typicaladministrator!!! Seems like Brand hastaken a page from the republican playbook and won’t budge on teachernegotiations…

What does Brand want??? Seemslike he wants the teachers off healthcare benefits and see them all shift toObamacare. How will he do this???Wants to double benefits cost from$600 a month to $1200 a month. To

add insult to injury he won’t evendiscuss a pay raise.

Teachers showed up in mass and ofcourse the school board took thechicken’s way out and shut down themeeting, not even caring to hear whatthe teachers had to say… looks like astrike is on the horizon!!! The only wayto stand up to a bully is to confrontthem…

The Sweetwater school boardcontinues to live down to itsreputation…

Now that the budget crisis is over,immigration is once again front andcenter but don’t hold your breath…Republicans took a whipping on thebudget deal so they are going to take it

out on immigration, they will drag theirfeet and if they do present anything itwill be so ridiculous it will be shotdown. Then the holidays will kick in andthey will all take off for a couple ofmonths… no immigration reform thisyear!!!

Congressman Juan Vargas feelingfeisty, calling on Mayor of El Cajon tostep down after making racistcomments. Seems Mayor Lewis madesome derogatory remarks about theChaldean community…. in a articleback in May!!! Why did Vargas wait solong??? Could it be he didn’t want to bethe lone ranger and waited forcommunity reaction first? Vargas statedhe was sickened by the comments,guess he wasn’t sickened six monthsago when the comments were printed???

One of the bills that Gov Brownsigned, that didn’t get much notice,Assembly Bill 955. This is a testprogram to charge more at communitycolleges. The program will allow sixcampuses to charge more per unit$140 to $404 per unit for impactedclasses. Most classes are three units.Normally the cost is $46.00 per unit.Community colleges are going the wayof supply and demand and charging forit!!!

Community college were created toprovide affordable education, inparticular for minority students…education has been getting more andmore expense, if this pilot program isdeemed a success the cost ofeducation will only be available to theRICH!!!

¡ASK A MEXICAN!

Commentary/Opinion Page

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I was surprised, on atrip to Mexico earlier this month, that Ionly ever found the holiday referred toas ‘Dia de Muertos”, whereas in theStates, I’ve only ever heard it referredto as “Dia de los Muertos.” I’m reallycurious as to WHY there’s a differencenorth/south of the border. Do Chicanosinclude the “los” so that it bettermatches up with the English translation?Do Mexicans use the phrase so oftenthat the “los” has just fallen by thewayside? Is “los muertos” actuallymore [historically?] correctgrammatically, and that phraseology’sbeen preserved in the remote reachesof New Spain? In Spanish, do youactually NEED the “los”, or does theword “muertos” effectively include thearticle? I’ve asked friends, but no oneseems to know the reason for thedifference; knowing your love ofetymology and history, I was hoping youcould give a definitive answer. Sorry forthe long letter!

La Catrina

Dear Gabacha: Now, let’s not put anyblame on those mongrelizing Chicanos, oneof whom (Michael Orozco) just helped theU.S. soccer squad save Mexico’s ass fromWorld Cup elimination by scoring a goal inUncle Sam’s Army’s epic 3-2 triumph overPanama. Both “Día de los Muertos” and“Día de Muertos” have been used inMexico since the 16th century, although I’mnoticing Chicano yaktivists and their fresacousins are preferring the latter, most likelybecause they feel too many gabachos nowknow about the holiday and prefer to usesomething they won’t understand—kind oflike how Mexicans began using gabachoonce gringos started calling themselvesgringos, you know? Both are technicallyright: “Dia de Muertos” is the literaltranslation of All Souls’ Day, the Catholicholiday from which Mexico’s veneration ofits faithful departed is partly derived (noticehow it’s not called “All of the Souls Day,”even though that makes more sense). On theother hand, the day before Día de losMuertos, All Saints’ Day, is almostuniversally known in Mexico as Día deTodos los Santos (which literally translatesas “Day of All of the Saints”) instead of Díade Todos Santos. Confused yet? Don’t be:the Mexican propensity for elision is as

Por Maribel Hastings

Si alguien dudaba que el Partido Republicanoestá librando una guerra civil por su identidad,el penoso espectáculo de la batallapresupuestaria lo demostró en su máximoesplendor.

La mayoría republicana que controla laCámara de Representantes fue tomada comorehén por una minoría extremista sin claro líder–con la excepción del senador republicano deTexas, Ted Cruz, desde la Cámara Alta-,pertenecientes al movimiento del Tea Party.Durante 16 días la “estrategia” de esta minoríadictó las acciones del presidente cameral, JohnBoehner, y su terca insistencia de utilizar elpresupuesto para revocar la Ley de CuidadosMédicos Asequibles, popularmente conocidacomo Obamacare.

Ciertamente las diversas opiniones dentro deun caucus deben escucharse y respetarse,pero en este caso la Cámara Baja ha votadomás de 40 veces para revocar, sin éxito, elObamacare. Cuando la estrategia pasó decastaño a oscuro para tratar de frenar elpresupuesto, incluso con la amenaza de quepor primera vez Estados Unidos no pagara susdeudas, se requería liderazgo para poner unhasta aquí, sobre todo cuando lo que se afectócon el cierre gubernamental no fueronúnicamente los porcentajes de aprobación delos disfuncionales políticos en Washington.

Al final, han sido los republicanos los quecargan con la mayor parte de la culpa políticadel cierre y de la intransigencia ante el puebloestadounidense. La minoría del Tea Party, claroestá, continúa feliz porque regresa a susdistritos a fanfarronear de lo conseguido.Recordemos que muchos de estos congresistasprovienen de distritos en donde fueron electoscon la promesa de revocar el Obamacare.

A esta minoría le importa poco la imagennacional del Partido Republicano porque seaferra al precepto de que toda la política eslocal. Lo es, pero hasta cierto punto. Cuandoun partido es expuesto nacionalmentecontrolado por un grupo de extremistas, afectasin duda sus probabilidades de apelar a un sec-tor más amplio de votantes fuera de su base yque necesita para ganar la Casa Blanca.

Y con esto en mente llegamos a la inmi-gración. El presidente Barack Obama indicóque superado el tranque presupuestario, es suintención presionar por un voto para un plan dereforma migratoria en la Cámara Baja. Apelóa los republicanos a proponer mejoras al planque aprobó el Senado el 27 de junio y a nodejar que el tema se siga postergando en elCongreso.

Muchos consideran una locura que en unescenario legislativo tan polarizado y en unaatmósfera política tan envenenada, la reformamigratoria –un tema que levanta pasiones–tenga posibilidades reales de avanzar en la

Cámara Baja.Sin embargo, hay motivos para pensar lo

contrario. El espectáculo ha reforzado a losdemócratas y los hace más competitivos en sulucha por arrebatar la mayoría cameral a losrepublicanos en los comicios de medio términode 2014.

Es algo que el liderazgo republicano debesopesar en su plan de rehabilitación. Parafortalecer su imagen, republicanos ydemócratas deben evidenciar bipartidismo y eltema migratorio ofrece esa vía, siempre ycuando Boehner no vuelva a permitir que ungrupo de extremistas antiinmigrantes lideradospor el congresista republicano de Iowa, SteveKing, vuelva a tomar el caucus republicanocomo rehén, esta vez para frenar una reformamigratoria que beneficia a la economía, al país,a la unidad familiar y que supondrá en algúnmomento ganancias políticas para losrepublicanos.

El mal manejo y buen manejo del temamigratorio afecta a los políticos republicanos.George W. Bush defendió una reformamigratoria y ganó la reelección en 2004 con44% del voto latino. El senador republicano deArizona, John McCain, defendió, junto a Bush,la reforma migratoria, pero le dio la espalda en2008 cuando fue el nominado presidencialrepublicano y su porción del voto latino bajó a31%. Y en 2012, el nominado republicano, MittRomney , propuso el concepto de auto-deportación como plataforma migratoria y logrósólo el 27% del voto latino.

Boehner, quien ha insistido en que sólo llevaráal pleno un plan de reforma que tenga el apoyode la mayoría de su mayoría, demostró en labatalla presupuestaria la falacia de laextraoficial Regla Hastert. Una minoríacontroló su caucus con nefastos resultados.

Hay votos para aprobar una reformamigratoria con una simple mayoría en la CámaraBaja, así sea con una mayoría de votosdemócratas y una minoría de republicanosrealmente interesados en rehabilitar la imagennacional de su partido.

La reforma migratoria ofrece a los dospartidos la oportunidad de demostrar quepueden gobernar. Los demócratas puedendemostrar que pueden ir más allá de laspromesas, y los republicanos pueden, de unavez y por todas, iniciar la ruta de la recuperaciónmirando más allá de su base y de extremistasque sólo contribuyen a la irrelevancia de estepartido en la esfera nacional.

El calendario legislativo es corto en lo queresta de este año, pero la voluntad política nodebería serlo. Como dijo el presidente, lareforma migratoria “puede y debe lograrse”antes de que finalice el año.

The other day, Iwent to Taco Belland hit the drive-through. At thewindow, I ordered something withjalapeños. When I spoke the sacred“jalapeno” word with my gawky gringoaccent, the illegal Mexican at the cashregister corrected my pronunciation byrepeating the word slowly andcondescendingly with his own accent—”hah-lah-pen-yo.” Kind of annoying.True, I only suspect he’s Mexican, and Isuspect he’s illegal as well. But I findhis almost complete inability to speakEnglish offers some kind of cluewouldn’t you say?

I wonder: is this dude so ignorant hedoesn’t understand that peoplepronounce words differently dependingon where they’re from? Or was heintentionally getting rude ‘cause he justhates gabachos? Or maybe, he waskindly instructing me as to how wordswill be expected to be pronounced oncethe Reconquista fulfills its promise. I’veseen the stats and I have no illusions; ifyou Mexicans keep reproducing likebunnies, y’all will eventually rule thewhole continent.

Dear Gabacho: Let’s just set aside porun poquito your preposterous assumptionthat the guy taking your order isundocumented—Taco Bell uses E-Verify toensure only legal citizens and residentsprepare its slop. Guy took your order, right?Which means he knows English. If anything,the Mexican was being charitable—you’reobviously the last gabacho left that doesn’tknow how to pronounce jalapeñocorrectly, which means you’re as cluelessabout Mexican affairs as Damien Cave, theNew York Times Mexico correspondentwhose stories seem like press releasespenned by the PRI.

¿Quién Ganará La Guerra Civil Republicana?

By Rodolfo Acuña

The debate as to what to name Chicana/oStudies will have future repercussions. The pro-posals are not new; they are not innovative;and they are symptomatic of the historicalstruggle of Mexican origin people in the UnitedStates to identify themselves.

The problem is that the group has grown solarge and the stakes so high that the conse-quences will hurt everyone. Unfortunately, thelevel of the discourse lacks logic, and it pro-longs a resolution to the identity crisis of Mexi-can Americans.

Admittedly, Latinos have a lot in common,but we also have a lot of differences, e.g., insocial class, population size, where we live, andour history to name a few dissimilarities. Thesedifferences strew the landscape with landminesespecially for those who already believe thatall Latinas/os look alike. It makes it easier forthem to lump us into one generic brand.

The constant name changes arewrongheaded and ahistorical. Identity takes along time to form, e.g., it took Mexico over twohundred years to get over their regional differ-ences and become Mexicans. If you would haveasked my mother what she was, she would haveanswered, “Sonorense,” my father would havesaid “tapatio.”

Today, the children of immigrants usually iden-tify with their parents’ country of origin. Some,depending on where they live, will say Hispanicor Latino, despite the fact that there is no suchthing as a Hispanic or Latino nationality.

The result is an arrested development thatcarries over into the popular media where it isnot uncommon to see an Argentinian playing aMexican on the screen with an Argentinianaccent. To movie directors, all Latinos look andsound alike.

Chicana/o Studies is supposed to be staffedby intellectuals, and you would think that theywould bring about a resolution. However, I havebeen disappointed by the inconsistencies in theirepistemological stances. Instead, they followthe latest fad or what is convenient for them.The result is that they confuse students and the

public, thus creating an identity crisis that ar-rests the development of the disparate Latinosub-groups.

Some self-described sages, a minority I hope,even want to change the names of the fewChicana/o Studies departments that have sur-vived the wars in academe to Chicana/o-Latinoor vice versa. The pretexts are: it is a progres-sive move; it promotes unity; and it is strategi-cally the right move — it makes us Number 1.

Even on my own campus where Chicana/oStudies offers over 172 sections per semester,a minority of Chicana/faculty members wantto change the department’s name. They be-lieve this change will enable them to teachcourses on Latin America and thus increasetheir individual prestige.

Having worked in academe for nearly fiftyyears, this is a naïve! In the past, we tried toestablish an interdisciplinary program but wewere torpedoed by the Spanish Department.In academe, you don’t just wish changes. Theyare the result of political confrontation and ne-gotiation.

It is beyond me how some Chicana/o Stud-ies faculty members can be so naïve. What isto be gained by creating a pseudo identity?

You would think that Chicana/o professorswould have developed a sense of what a disci-pline is. Chicana/o studies were developed aspedagogy; their mission is to motivate and teachstudents’ skills. CHS were not created to giveemployment opportunities for Chicana/o pro-fessors or to create a safe haven for them tobe tenured.

The reality is that most Latino programs areclustered east of Chicago whereas most pro-grams west of the Windy City are calledChicana/o Studies. As of late, however, therehas been a breakdown, and CHS programs outwest have begun to change their names to ahybrid Latino-Chicana/o studies model.

Tellingly, although the Mexican origin popu-lation is rapidly spreading east of Chicago, thereis no reciprocal trend to change the names ofprograms to include Chicana/o or MexicanAmerican.

What is the message for Mexican Ameri-

cans?As a kid, many of my acquaintances pre-

ferred calling themselves Latin American. Un-like hot jalapeños Latino did not offend the sen-sitive taste buds of gringos.

What it boils down to is opportunism and anarrested development. These frequent changeshave led to a collective identity crisis as well asshort circuiting the community’s historicalmemory.

The best data on Mexican Americans andLatinos comes from the Pew Research Cen-ter. It informs us that 71 percent of all Latinoslive in 100 counties. Half (52 percent) of thesecounties are in three states—California, Texasand Florida. Along with Arizona, New Mexico,New York, New Jersey and Illinois they housethree-quarters of the nation’s Latino popula-tion.

Los Angeles County alone has 4.9 millionLatinos or 9 percent of the Latino populationnationally. In LA-Long Beach Mexican Ameri-cans make up 78 percent of the Latino popula-tion followed by Salvadorans who are 8 per-cent. In NY-Northeastern NJ Mexicans areonly 12 percent, the rest are Latin Americans.

The Mexican share of the Latino populationin California is 83 percent; Texas 88 percent;Illinois 80 percent; Arizona 91 percent; Colo-rado 78 percent; Georgia 61 percent; and inracially confused New Mexico, Mexicans are63 percent of Latinos.

For me, it does not take an advanced degreein mathematics to figure out what the name ofthe programs should be in the eight states. Stillthere are Chicana/o geniuses that want tochange the name of the programs.

At California State Northridge the solutionappeared simple in the 1990s. It made sense tosupport Central American students and createa Central American program. They make up12/14 percent of LA’s Latino population, andchanging the name to Chicana/o –Latino wouldnot have solved anything.

What purpose would it have served if 98 per-cent of the courses and faculty remained Mexi-can? Central Americans wanted ownership ofa new program catering specifically to their

needs and their identity.This schizophrenic behavior of the name

changers has worsened the existing identitycrisis; it has resulted in an erasure of history.You can bet that there will political fallout inthe future. Words and history have meanings.

For example, Steve Montenegro, Ted Cruzand Marco Rubio did not just happen.

Arizona state representative SteveMontenegro is from a reactionary Salvadoranfamily. Since his election in 2008, he has sup-ported the racist SB 1070. Montenegro, sup-ported by the Tea Party, is not vetted by theMexican community that comprises over 90percent of Phoenix’s Latino population.

In Texas Cuban-American Senator Ted Cruzgot enough Mexican American votes to beelected to the U.S. Senate. Both Montenegroand Cruz are anti-immigrant. They see immi-gration as a Mexican issue.

Cuban-American Marco Rubio also adver-tises that he is a “Hispanic”. He has been ac-tive on immigration, but he is pushing a reac-tionary bill and like his other musketeers is aTea Party darling.

Ernesto Galarza used to say that a peoplewithout a historical memory are easier manipu-lated, and they lose the ability to defend theircommunities. The only power poor people haveto check the universities and elected officialsis the power of numbers.

“History gives order and purpose to our lives”Identity whether it is working class or commu-nal clarifies that purpose. Inchoate changes inidentity are infantile and are not helping ratherthey are arresting our development.

Once enrolled, it took a great deal of sacrificeto pay for her tuition and related expenses.

“It’s around $47 per unit, you’re looking at3 units per class, [and] you take 3 classes,”she says, not to mention the books and thegas for her trips from King City to Salinas, anhour and a half round trip.

Relief came earlier this year, however, af-ter the enactment of AB 540, a California statelaw making Dreamers like Torres eligible forcollege financial aid programs funded by thestate.

“I already got a semester paid for and it’ssuch a great relief,” says Torres.

Also this year, Torres’ application was ac-cepted for Deferred Action for ChildhoodArrivals (DACA), a federal program that givestemporary legal status to certain undocu-mented immigrants who entered the countryas children.

“Before [DACA] I didn’t have any plansset. I didn’t see my future. I just kept going toschool, waiting for whatever came up. Now Ifeel like I can finish school, I can have adriver’s license, I don’t have to be afraid ofdriving, I have the chance of applying for bet-ter jobs with better pay, and can definitelygraduate from a university,” she says. “OnceI got my (work) permit (through DACA),things started falling into place.”

Torres has one semester left at Hartnell, andplans to begin applying to four-year universi-ties in October.

Having legal status through DACA em-boldened Torres to become increasingly vocalabout her support for comprehensive federalimmigration reform. She attended a “Caravanfor Citizenship” rally in Bakersfield over thesummer, and has even hosted house meetingsto share information about immigration reformwith her community.

“Comprehensive immigration reform is im-portant for my family,” says Torres. “It’s notonly about me, about me being able to have alife or about me being able to have a good job.It’s also about my parents. The biggest fearfor my parents is that they’ll never be able togo back (to Mexico) to see their parents …that they won’t be able to go back in time.”

aclarar que si McDonalds fuera un país,solito, sería la economía número 90 delmundo, por encima de Bolivia, El Salvador,Paraguay y Honduras, por citar unoscuantitos.

Y aunque parezca poquito, McDonald’s lesoltó casi medio millón de dólares a una bolade políticos para sus campañas electorales elaño pasado. Y será poquito pero “bieninvertido”. Por ejemplo, McDonald’s leregaló miles de dólares de campaña a lossenadores republicanos John Boozman,Richard Burr, Saxby Chambliss, Bob Corker,John Cornyn, Deb Fischer, Chuck Grassley,Mike Johanns, Mitch McConnell, JerryMoran, Pat Roberts, John Thune y DavidVitter, y todo ellos votaron en contra de lapropuesta de “reforma migratoria”, noporque la consideraran, como nosotros, malapara los trabajadores, sino porque la queríanmás mala.

Del lado de la Cámara de Representantes,le soltaron lana a Spencer Bachus (quequiere quitarle la ciudadanía a los hijos de losindocumentados); John Barrow (DemócrataConservador Anti-inmigrante); Judy Biggert(jefa de los Demócratas conservadores anti-inmigrantes); Sanford Bishop (Demócrataconservador anti-inmigrante); John Boehner(Líder de la mayoría Republicana que seniega a discutir la mentada “reformamigratoria”); Eric Cantor (anti-inmigrantemiembro del Tea Party); Jim Cooper (jefede los Demócratas conservadores anti-inmigrantes); Jim Costa (Demócrataconservador anti-inmigrante); Raúl Labrador(quiere quitarle la ciudadanía a los hijos delos indocumentados, quiere quitar los pagospor horas extras); Tom Latham (apoyadorde los Minuteman) y a otra bola de políticosdel Tea Party.

Y ya para rematar, desde hace como unmes, como respuesta a la valiente lucha desus trabajadores para organizarse en lallamada “Lucha por los 15” ($15 dólares desalario mínimo por hora en los restaurantesde comida rápida), McDonald’s le empezó arevisar los documentos de inmigración a sustrabajadores. A los que resultaron conpapeles irregulares los empezó a despedir.

En mi diccionario, además de explotadoresde trabajadores y de aprovechados porqueen vez de bajar un poco sus gananciasmandan a los trabajadores a pedir ayudapública, McDonald’s es francamente anti-inmigrante. Para mí, se han ganado el apodode McMigra, y les tenemos que responder.

Ya hay una iniciativa de boicot nacional aMcMigra, y yo la voy a seguir fielmente.Pedirles que dejen de vender comidachatarra sería demasiado, pero hay queexigir que dejen de darle donativos a lospolíticos anti-inmigrantes y que le devuelvanel trabajo a todos los despedidos.

¡No más dinero nuestro para McMigra!
