La ropa de un joven ayudó a los oficiales para identificar a Gilberto Francisco Ramos
Juárez, quien fue encontrado muerto en un arbusto el mes pasado después de cruzar
la frontera de México y EE.UU. Algunos residentes de Murrieta, California protestan la
llegada de más de 100 inmigrantes, siendo traídos a su comunidad de Texas. Lupillo
Rivera, (foto inferior), que no había participado en el movimiento de los inmigrantes, se
encontró él mismo en medio de la protesta. “No importa de donde seán estos niños. Los
niños tienen el derecho automático al respeto. No puedo echar a un niño de cualquier
parte. Creo que eso es inhumano,“ Rivera dijo a Fox News Latino.
A young boy’s clothing is what helped Sheriff officials identify Gilberto
Francisco Ramos Juarez who was found dead in a brush last month after
crossing the Mexico and USA border. Some Murrieta, Calif. residents are
protesting the arrival of over 100 immigrants, being flown in to their
community from Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (lower picture) who had not been
involved with the immigrant movement, founded himself in the middle
of the protest. “It doesn’t matter where the children are from. Children
automatically deserve respect. I cannot kick out a child from anywhere. I
think that is inhumane,” Rivera told Fox News Latino.
Construction workers are moving as fast as they can go in building this new Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market in the
Argentine community in KCK. A new bus route has been added and other new businesses are beginning to come
into the area.
Los trabajadores se están moviendo tan rápido como pueden en la construcción de este nuevo “Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market” (por

Truman Medical Centers (TMC) presented the second
annual Latina Empowerment Luncheon. The event
was hosted by Guadalupe Centers Inc., (GCI) and was
held in the Villa Guadalupe campus at 5123 E Truman Rd,
Kansas City, MO.
The focus of the luncheon was cardiovascular health and
highlighted heart disease as the number one killer of Latinas.
The program offered discussion and pragmatic advice in
promoting a healthy heart.
Tru–Kecha Smith, regional health equity director for
AHA, talked with Hispanic News about the purpose of the
luncheon.

la calle 32 y Strong Avenue en
Kansas City, Kansas.
“El barrio de Argentine es la
elección correcta para nosotros.
La nueva ruta de autobús viene
directo aquí y estamos en una de
las calles principales para entrar
a la zona. Creo que los nuevos
negocios y la ruta del autobús
traerá más gente a nuestro
restaurante”, dijo Morales.
Él ha estado en el negocio de
alimentos durante unos 30 años.
“Trabajamos para la comunidad
hispana. Ofrecemos banquetes
para quinceañeras, bodas, fiestas
de cumpleaños, y podemos
cocinar comida americana,
italiana y mexicana, lo que el
cliente quiera”, afirmó.
Él ya está empezando a ver
caras nuevas todos los días.
Él siente que el negocio está
creciendo de boca en boca y el
acceso que otros ahora tienen a
la zona.
Los precios razonables del
restaurante y el servicio rápido
atraen a muchos empleados
del ferrocarril, el banco y
los

deteniéndose para tomar un
bocado rápido.
“Me gusta cocinar y atender
a los clientes. En este momento
somos el único restaurante de
comida mexicana en Argentine.
Realmente me encanta lo que
hago”, dijo.
Además de proporcionar
acceso a una alimentación
sana, restaurantes, necesidades
bancarias y la biblioteca,
ahora los residentes tanto en
Rosedale y Argentine tienen
fácil acceso al Centro Médico
de la Universidad de Kansas
para todas sus necesidades de

“Esta nueva ruta le llevará
directamente desde Argentine
o Rosedale, al Centro Médico
KU y a la línea del condado
donde se conecta con el sistema
de autobuses del Condado de
Johnson”, dijo la Comisionada
del 3er Distrito, Ann Murguía.
Daniel Serda, designado
en febrero por el Alcalde
Mark Holland a la Junta de
Comisionados de ATA, montó

Chef Miguel Morales opened his restaurant at 32nd and Strong in
January. As new businesses come into the Argentine neighborhood, he has seen new customers come through his door. He’s
been in the food business for almost 30 years. Morales moved
his restaurant from the Johnson County into Wyandotte County.
He likes the friendliness of the Argentine Community.
El chef Miguel Morales abrió su restaurante en la calle 32 ª con Strong
Avenue, en enero. A medida que nuevas empresas entren en el barrio
Argentine, el ha visto nuevos clientes atravesar las puertas de su negocio.
Él ha estado en el negocio de alimentos desde hace casi 30 años.
Morales trasladó su restaurante del condado de Johnson a el condado de
Wyandotte. A él le gusta la amabilidad de la comunidad del Argentine.
Rosedale no tienen acceso a un
coche. Con el fin de llegar a una
tienda de comestibles o ir a una
cita con su médico, los residentes
tenían que pagar a los vecinos
o tomar un taxi. Esta nueva
línea de autobús resuelve esa
cuestión. Ahora pueden tomar
el autobús justo a la puerta
de una tienda de comestibles.
Pueden viajar en el autobús para
ir a citas con el médico. Esta es
la primera vez para este tipo de
línea de autobús en el Condado
de Wyandotte”, dijo Serda.
En la presentación de la nueva
línea de autobús, Mark Huffer,
Gerente General de Kansas City
ATA, dijo que era la primera vez
en una década que una nueva
ruta de autobús se ha añadido
en Kansas City, Kansas.
Heidi Holliday, Directora
Ejecutiva de la Asociación de
Desarrollo de Rosedale, (RDA
por sus siglas en inglés) elogió
la nueva línea que aumenta
el acceso de los residentes
de
Rosedale
al
empleo,
alimentación y educación por
medio de la biblioteca.
“Disminuye el aislamiento
de las personas que no tienen
acceso a un transporte fiable”,
dijo Holliday.
La tienda Wal-Mart se
encuentra todavía en proceso
de contratación. Las personas
interesadas en solicitar empleo
pueden hacerlo en el centro de
contratación temporal ubicado
en el número 2414 S de la calle
34, Suites B y C en Kansas City,
Kansas.
La nueva ruta de autobús
puede llevar fácilmente a los
empleados a sus puestos de
trabajo en el lugar de venta.
Holliday y Erin Stryka,
también con RDA, se reunió con
los residentes de Rosedale en
las reuniones públicas llevadas
a cabo para ayudar a diseñar
una ruta que beneficiara a los
residentes.
“Heidi y Erin hicieron todo
el trabajo en esta iniciativa
con la ayuda de Mario
Escobar, de Corporación de
Mejoramiento del Argentine
(ABC por sus siglas en inglés).
Me mantuvieron informado y
cuando estaba listo, lo tomé e
hice que avanzara hacia adelante
a través de la comisión. Yo
presioné durante las audiencias
de presupuesto y la comisión
dijo que por supuesto. Esto es
lo de lo que nos tratamos, una
comunidad saludable”, dijo la
Comisionada Murguía.
El Gerente General de
KCATA, Mark Huffer dijo,
“Aplaudimos a los ciudadanos
de estos barrios por trabajar para
llevar el servicio de tránsito a sus
barrios, facilitando el acceso a
las oportunidades importantes
para los residentes y empleados
de la zona.”
KCATA buses are clearly marked for residents who want to travel from Rosedale/Argentine
neighborhoods. I think the new businesses and the bus route will bring more people to our
restaurant,” said Chef Miguel Morales.
Los Autobuses KCATA están claramente marcados para los residentes que quieran viajar desde los barrios
Rosedale/Argentine. Creo que los nuevos negocios y la ruta del autobús traerá más gente a nuestro restaurante,”

“The Argentine neighborhood
is the right choice for us. The
new bus route comes right by
here and we are on one of the
main streets coming into the
area. I think the new businesses
and the bus route will bring
more people to our restaurant,”
said Morales.
He has been in the food
business for about 30 years.
“We work for the Spanish
community.
We
cater
quinceañeras,
weddings,
birthday parties, and we can
cook American, Italian and
Mexican food, whatever the
customer wants,” he stated.
He is already beginning to see
new faces every day. He feels
that business is growing by word
of mouth and the access others
now have to the area.
The restaurant’s reasonable
prices and quick service have
many employees from the
railroad, the bank and doctors
office, stopping in to grab a
quick bite.
“I enjoy cooking and visiting
with the customers. Right now
we are the only Mexican food
restaurants in Argentine. I truly
love what I do,” he said.
Besides providing access
to healthy food, restaurants,
banking needs and the library,
now residents in both Rosedale
and Argentine have easy access
to the University of Kansas
Medical Center for all their
health care needs.

Holliday and Erin Stryka, also
with RDA, met with Rosedale
residents at public meetings
held to help design a route that
would benefit the residents.
“Heidi and Erin did all the
work on this initiative with
the help of Mario Escobar
of
Argentine
Betterment
Corporation (ABC).
They
kept me informed and when
it was ready, I took it and
moved it forward through the

“This new route will take
you directly from Argentine or
Rosedale, to KU Med Center
and to the county line where it
connects to the Johnson County
bus system,” said Commissioner
Ann Murguia, 3rd District.
Daniel Serda, appointed
by Mayor Mark Holland in
February to the ATA Board of
Commissioners, rode the bus
from his Rosedale neighborhood
to Emerson Park in Argentine in
Kansas City, Kansas last week.
“A high majority of residents
in the Rosedale community do
not have access to a car. In order
to get to a grocery store or go
to their doctor’s appointment,
residents had to pay neighbors
or take a taxi. This new bus line
resolves that issue. They now
can take the bus right to the door
of a grocery store. They can ride
the bus to doctor appointments.
This is a first for this kind of bus
line in Wyandotte County,” said
Serda.
At the unveiling of the new
bus line, Mark Huffer, general
manager, Kansas City ATA, said
it was the first time in about a
decade that a new bus route
has been added in Kansas City,
Kansas.
Heidi Holliday, executive
director of the Rosedale
Development
Association,
(RDA) praised the new line for
increasing Rosedale resident’s
access to employment, food and
education through the library.

“Heart Disease Is One Of Those Things We Can Prevent”
CONT./PAGE 1
“In minority communities
we struggle with heart disease
and we ultimately like to bring
people together in a fun manner,
not in a stuffy area, but [a place]
to have a free lunch and have
that kind of conversation around
heart health,” she said.
Organizers bring in leaders
and experts in the field to address
questions and provide strategies
for dealing with issues associated
with heart disease.
“One of the most amazing
things I run into all the time is
people that don’t want to admit
that they have heart disease, or
they have someone that they
know that has heart disease,”
Smith explained. “When we
have these kinds of events we do
it in a fun manner so that people
can have that aha! moment.
You know that moment maybe
resonates with them.”
Smith noted that the emphasis
of the workshop discussion is
prevention.
“Heart disease is one of those
things that we can prevent.
Although we do have some risk
factors we can’t control such as
our age, our race, our family
history, there are many more that
we can control,” she emphasized.
“Our ideal is that we bring them
in a fun place where you may be
more open to admitting that you
may have heart disease or you
may have the risk factors.”
Christina
Hernandez,
workforce development manager
with GCI, attended last year’s
event and felt that it needed to
be reintroduced to a broader
audience.
“I think the audience there
last year was learning, however
it a was a smaller audience and it
was a great event,” she recalled.
“I thought we needed to have
this happen on an annual basis
at least. Getting that health
education out there is critical,
not only to ourselves but our
community at large.”
Tru–Kecha Smith
Hernandez noted that women
often are the last ones to seek
medical attention. “They are the
ones that take care of others. So
with [heart disease] being the
number one killer for females, I
think it is critical that we have
that education and pass that
on to our daughters, our grand
daughters, our neighbors and
take care of ourselves in better
ways so that we can take care of
everyone else.”
Jaclyn Acosta, registered nurse
at TMC, talked with Hispanic
News about the importance
of the issue in the Hispanic
community, specifically when it
comes to diet and exercise.
“When we are trying to live
a healthy lifestyle, it can be
difficult because a lot of the
food that could be heart healthy
can be more expensive. … As a
young child there was also more
activity then there is today for
the children there is more a
sedentary lifestyle with all of
the gadgets [like] phones and
Ipads. I remember as a little girl
playing outside until it got dark,
so it has changed,” she said.
Preventative health is a key
in combating heart disease.
Acosta pointed out that heart
disease is labeled as the silent
killer for a reason – heart
disease left untreated can lead to
heart failure, which can be life
threatening.
“If you are waiting for signs
or symptoms to go to the
doctor, that is something very
dangerous,” she stated. “You
need to be on top of it and know
your numbers like your blood
pressure. Take care of yourself
and things that you can have
control over like your lifestyle,
activity, diet, and smoking and
excessive alcohol use. These are
things you can control to help
lower your risk of heart disease.”
Acosta added that in the
Latino community people are
less disposed to seek out medical
help unless it is an emergency,
which can contribute to added
expenses in higher prescriptions
prices as people deal with
conditions that may have been
alleviated by better life choices.
“In our community we are
probably not the best sometimes
at taking care of ourselves. We
definitely take care of others,
but maybe not ourselves and
when we have families it can be
difficult,” she said.
Youth is not a refuge from
heart disease. Acosta referenced
a fellow worker who is only 27
and is dealing with heart issues.
“It doesn’t matter how young
and healthy you think you
are. You want to be on top of
knowing what your risk factors
are and what your numbers are.”
friend. “My father had heart
surgery and heart dysfunction
runs in our family on my father’s
side. I am here to learn a little
more about that along with
stroke. … “I thought it would
be nice to come and see what
kind of information is being
presented.”
Hernandez could be a
poster child for the proactive
approach that Acosta and Smith
encouraged.
“I actually go to the website
and get recipes and stuff like
that. … Just the information
is really good to try and share
with people,” she explained.
“Sometimes when you are a busy
person, it is hard to fit things in
but I think if you try slowly and
gradually you might meet that
expectation and try to get that
goal. Our family is trying to
work to that goal.”
Hernandez has taken a heart
healthy approach by cutting
down on the traditional
Mexican foods that she indulged
growing up.
“We are watching calories and
… things like that and trying
to get away from getting too
much protein in our system,”
she added. “We have had our
lipo-protein profiles done. …
It tells you where you are with
your cholesterol levels and most
people are not aware of that and
how they affect your body. We
are teaching ourselves a little
more about that in the family.”
Hernandez’s
approach
validates the purpose of the
luncheon. “We shed light on the
risk factors that are preventable,”
said Smith. “There are different
things you can do so that you
don’t have a heart attack. …
You can be a little more heart
healthy. It is all in moderation.
We all live these busy lives now,
and busy lives don’t allow for
healthier lifestyles, but you just
have to commit and realize that
heart disease is real for all of us.”

the event at the invitation of a
“La Enfermedad Cardíaca Es
Una De Las Cosas Que Podemos Evitar”
CONT./PÁGINA 1
Tru-Kecha Smith, Directora
Regional
de
Equidad
Sanitaria para AHA, habló
con Hispanic News acerca
de la finalidad del almuerzo.
“En
las
comunidades
minoritarias luchamos con
enfermedades del corazón y en
última instancia nos gusta unir a
la gente de una manera divertida,
y no en un área mal ventilada,
sino en un lugar donde tener un
almuerzo gratis y tener ese tipo
de conversación en torno a la
salud del corazón”, ella dijo.
Los organizadores reúnen a
líderes y expertos en el campo
para hacer frente a las preguntas
y proporcionar estrategias para
hacer frente a los problemas
asociados con las enfermedades
del corazón.
“Una de las cosas más increíbles
con la que me encuentro todo el
tiempo es que la gente no quiere
admitir que tiene enfermedades
del corazón, o que conocen
a alguien que sabe que tiene
enfermedades cardiacas”, explicó
Smith. “Cuando tenemos este
tipo de eventos, se puede hacer
de una manera divertida para
que la gente pueda tener un
momento ¡aha!. Usted sabe que
tal vez el momento resuene en
ellos”.
Smith señaló que el énfasis
de la discusión del taller es la
prevención.
“La enfermedad cardíaca es
una de las cosas que podemos
evitar. Aunque tenemos algunos
factores de riesgo que no podemos
controlar, como nuestra edad,
nuestra raza, nuestra historia
familiar, hay muchos más que
podemos controlar”, enfatizó.
“Nuestro ideal es traerlos a un
lugar divertido donde se puede
ser más abierto a admitir que
pueden tener una enfermedad
cardiaca o puede que tengan los
factores de riesgo”.
Christina Hernández, Gerente
de Desarrollo de Fuerza de
Trabajo con GCI, asistió al
evento del año pasado y sentía
que tenía que ser presentada de
nuevo a un público más amplio.
“Creo que el público allí, el
año pasado, estaba aprendiendo,
sin embargo fue un público más
pequeño y un gran evento”,
recordó. “Pensé, necesitamos
que esto ocurra una vez al año
por lo menos. Conseguir que la
educación sanitaria llegue a la
gente es fundamental, no sólo
para nosotros mismos, sino para
nuestra comunidad en general”.
Hernández señaló que las
mujeres a menudo son las últimas
en solicitar asistencia médica.
“Ellas son las que se ocupan
de los demás. Así que (con las
enfermedades del corazón)
siendo la principal causa de
muerte para las mujeres, creo
que es fundamental el tener la
educación y pasar eso a nuestras
hijas, nuestras nietas, nuestros
vecinos y cuidarnos a nosotras
mismas de mejores formas para
que podamos cuidar de los
demás”.
Jaclyn Acosta, enfermera
registrada en TMC, habló
con Hispanic News sobre
la importancia del tema
en la comunidad hispana,
especialmente cuando se trata de
la dieta y el ejercicio.
“Cuando estamos tratando
de vivir una vida sana, puede
ser difícil, porque muchos de
los alimentos que pudieran
ser saludables para el corazón
pueden ser más caros. Cuando
se era un niño pequeño también
había más actividad, entonces
hoy en día para los niños hay un
estilo de vida más de sedentario
con todos los dispositivos, como
los teléfonos y iPads. Recuerdo
cuando era niña, jugando afuera
hasta que se hacía de noche, eso
ha cambiado”, dijo.
La salud preventiva es una
clave en la lucha contra las
enfermedades del corazón.
Acosta señaló que la enfermedad
cardíaca es etiquetada como
el asesino silencioso por una
razón - la enfermedad cardíaca
sin tratar puede llevar a la
insuficiencia cardíaca, que puede
ser potencialmente mortal.
“Si usted está esperando por
signos o síntomas para ir al
médico, es algo muy peligroso”,
afirmó. “Hay que estar al tanto
y conocer sus números, como su
presión arterial. Cuide de usted
misma y de las cosas sobre las
que puede tener control como
su estilo de vida, la actividad,
la dieta y el tabaquismo y el
consumo excesivo de alcohol.
Estás son cosas que usted puede
controlar para ayudar a reducir
su riesgo de enfermedades del
corazón”.
Acosta agregó, que en la
comunidad latina, la gente
está menos dispuesta a buscar
ayuda médica, a menos que sea
una emergencia, lo que puede
contribuir a los gastos agregados,
a precios más altos en recetas
mientras las personas lidian con
las condiciones que pudieron
haber sido aliviadas con mejores
opciones de vida.
“En nuestra comunidad es
probable que a veces no seamos
los mejores al cuidar de nosotros
mismos.
Definitivamente
cuidamos de los demás, pero a
lo mejor no a nosotros mismos y
cuando tenemos familias puede
ser difícil”, dijo.
La juventud no es un refugio
contra las enfermedades del
corazón. Acosta hace referencia
a un compañero trabajador
que sólo tiene 27 años, y se
esta tratando de problemas del
corazón. “No importa lo joven
y saludable te crees que eres. Tú
quieres estar al tanto de cuáles
son sus factores de riesgo y
cuáles son sus números”.
prevenir”, dijo Smith. “Hay
diferentes cosas que puede
hacer para que usted no tenga
un ataque al corazón. Usted
puede intentar ser un poco más
saludable para su corazón. Todo
está en la moderación. Todos
vivimos estas vidas ocupadas
ahora, y las vidas ocupadas no
permiten estilos de vida más
saludables, pero sólo hay que
comprometerse y darse cuenta
de que la enfermedad cardíaca es
real para todos nosotros”.
Lisa Hernández asistió al
evento por invitación de un
amigo. “Mi padre fue operado
del corazón y la disfunción
cardiaca prevalece en nuestra
familia por parte de mi padre.
Yo estoy aquí para aprender un
poco más sobre eso, y acerca

Hernández podría ser una

proactivo que Acosta y Smith
animan.
“De hecho, voy a la página

cosas por el estilo. Simplemente
la información es muy buena
para tratar de compartir con
la gente”, explicó ella. “A veces
cuando tú eres una persona
ocupada, las cosas son difíciles de
encajar pero creo que si se intenta
lentamente y poco a poco, va
a encontrar esa expectativa y
tratara de conseguir ese objetivo.
Nuestra familia está tratando de
trabajar con ese objetivo”.
Hernández

adoptado
un enfoque saludable para el

“Estamos

tratando de alejarnos de meter

La posterior investigación
revelaría que el cadáver era el
de un niño de 11 años de edad,
llamado Gilberto Francisco
Ramos Juárez, nacido en San
José Las Flores, provincia de
Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Él
cruzó la frontera entre Texas y
México algunas semanas antes
de que se encontrara su cuerpo.
Se dirigía hacia el norte a pesar
de las reiteradas peticiones de su
madres de que no se fuera.
Su motivación, según los
informes publicados, era hacer el
cruce para encontrarse con otro
hermano que vive en Chicago
y ganar dinero para enviar a
Guatemala, y ayudar con los
tratamientos de la epilepsia de su
madre.
La madre de Ramos, Cipriana
Juárez Díaz, fue citada por
Associated Press, “lo mejor
habría sido si se hubiera
quedado”.
Ramos se ha convertido en el
rostro del crítico flujo de niños
y jóvenes no acompañados que
inundan las regiones fronterizas.
Con tanta migración, incluso
los hechos son turbios. Ramos
resulta tener 15 años de edad,
la lejanía de la aldea donde
vivió obstaculiza los esfuerzos
para registrar su certificado de
nacimiento, hasta muchos años
más tarde, cuando la traición
de la memoria hacía más fácil
utilizar la misma fecha que otro
de sus hermanos.
El comunicado del Sheriff del
Condado de Hidalgo sugiere que
él pudo haber estado viajando
con un tío y se separó después
de la detención de su tío por los
agentes de aduanas de Estados
Unidos. El último contacto con
su familia parece haber sido 25
días antes de que se descubrió
su cuerpo. Un rosario blanco
que le había dado su madre
como protección fue encontrado
alrededor de su cuello.
Hispanic News se puso en
contacto con la oficina del
Sheriff de Hidalgo y habló con
el ayudante del sheriff, José
Rodríguez.
“Es lamentable que el niño
fuera encontrado muerto en la
maleza. No es el primer caso al
que nos hemos enfrentado, el de
un cuerpo que se encuentra en
la maleza de las zonas rurales”,
dijo Rodríguez. “Somos agentes
de la ley, y sí, a veces estamos
insensibilizados debido a nuestra
exposición diaria a este tipo de
incidentes, pero no nos gusta oír
hablar de una situación en la que
ha muerto un niño”.
Rodríguez añadió que no
es raro que muchas personas
indocumentadas se acercan a la
policía y se entreguen porque
“están agotados, y se quedaron
sin comida y agua y no tienen
ningún otro recurso”.
“Queremos aconsejar a los
padres que no envíen a sus hijos
al peligro”, advirtió. “Hay mucho
riesgo, la temperatura es extrema
aquí en el sur de Texas, y sólo eso
hace que sea peligroso para un
niño estar sin comida ni agua.
Reconocemos y entendemos que
a veces sus intenciones es tener
una vida mejor para sí mismos
y para sus hijos, pero no vale la
pena el riesgo, y no queremos
que suceda la tragedia”.
Ramos no es sino uno de
los miles de jóvenes que han
cruzado la frontera y ahora
están detenidos en centros
de procesamiento. Algunas
proyecciones indican que hasta
más de 60 mil jóvenes serán
detenidos este año en la frontera.
Los intentos de las autoridades
locales y federales para hacer
frente al hacinamiento ha
provocado un aumento de
las tensiones entre las fuerzas
anti inmigración y los que
piden la reforma. En Murrieta,
California, los manifestantes
bloquearon los autobuses que
transportaban algunos de los
detenidos de Texas al ingresar
en un centro de procesamiento
en la zona. Las manifestaciones
de los grupos de ambos lados
del problema llenaron las ondas
radiofónicas.
El Presidente Barack Obama,
se ha comprometido a hacer algo
acerca de la situación actual y
hacer frente al estancamiento
sobre cualquier movimiento en
la reforma migratoria.
“El fracaso de la Cámara
Republicana para aprobar una
maldita ley es malo para nuestra
seguridad, es malo para nuestra
economía, y es malo para nuestro
futuro”, dijo Obama en el Rose
Garden, de la Casa Blanca.
“Estados Unidos no puede
esperar por siempre para que ellos
actúen. Es por eso, que hoy estoy
empezando un nuevo esfuerzo,
para arreglar lo que pueda por
mi cuenta gran parte de nuestro
sistema de inmigración”.
El abogado de inmigración
local, Raymond Rico, habló
con Hispanic News acerca de
las razones predominantes por
las que muchos jóvenes están
haciendo la caminata hacia
el norte desde los países más
profundos en América Central,
como Guatemala, Honduras y El
Salvador.
“¿Por qué vienen a los Estados
Unidos? ¿De qué están huyendo?
Tal vez están huyendo de padres
abusivos o tal vez sus familias
han sido blanco de pandillas y
de la violencia de las drogas en
sus barrios”, se preguntó. “En
este momento, Honduras es
considerado el país más peligroso
del mundo y hay ciudades enteras
que están básicamente dirigidos
por pandillas u organizaciones
de tráfico de drogas”.
Rico descarta que el Dream
Act, y otras iniciativas como
la Acción Diferida, están
contribuyendo al éxodo.
“Los jóvenes han estado
viniendo a los Estados Unidos
por años. Incluso antes del
programa Dream Act, (la
inmigración juvenil) fue en
aumento. Esto no se debe a eso,
sino a las condiciones en su país
y su deseo de reunirse con la
familia que ya está aquí en los
Estados Unidos”.

“They Are Exhausted”
CONT./PAGE 1
Later investigation would
reveal that the dead body was
that of an 11-year-old boy
named
Gilberto
Francisco
Ramos Juarez born in San Jose
Las Flores, Huehuetenango
province,
Guatemala.
He
crossed the border between
Texas and Mexico some weeks
before his body was found. He
was headed north despite his
mothers repeated requests that
he not leave.
His motivation, according to
published reports, was to make
the crossing to connect with
another brother who living
in Chicago and earn money
to send back to Guatemala to
help with his mother’s epilepsy
treatments.
Ramos’ mother Cipriana
Juarez Diaz, was quoted by the
Associated Press, “the better
treatment would have been if he
had stayed.”
Ramos has become the
face of the critical flow of
unaccompanied children and
teens flooding the border
regions. Like much about that
migration, even the facts are
cloudy. Ramos turns out to be
15 years old, the remoteness of
the village he lived in hindering
efforts to register his birth
certificate until many years later
when the treachery of memory
made it easier to use the same
date as another of his siblings.
The Hidalgo County Sherriff’s
release suggests that he may
have been traveling with an
uncle and was separated after
the uncle’s detention by US
Customs agents. The last contact
with his family appears to have
been 25 days before his body
was discovered. A white rosary
given to him by his mother as
protection was found around
his neck.
Hispanic News reached out to
the Hidalgo Sheriffs office and
spoke with Deputy Sheriff Jose
Rodriguez.
It is unfortunate that the
child was found deceased in the
brush. It is not the first case we
have dealt with where a body is
found out in the rural areas in the
brush,” said Rodriguez. “We are
law enforcement officers and yes
sometimes we get desensitized
due to our daily exposures to
these types of incidents, but we
don’t like to hear of a situation
where a child has died.”
Rodriguez added that it
is not unusual for many
undocumented
people
to
approach the police and turn
themselves in because “they
are exhausted and have ran out
of food and water and have no
other recourse.”
“We want to advice the parents
not to send their children into
harm’s way,” he cautioned.
“There is so much risk, the
temperature is just extreme here
in south Texas and that in itself
makes it dangerous for a child to
be without food and water. We
recognize and understand that
sometimes their intentions is to
make a better life for themselves
and their children, but it is not
worth the risk and we don’t
want tragedy to happen.”
Ramos is but one of the
thousands of youths that have
crossed the border and are now
being held in processing centers.
Some
projections
indicate
that as many as 60,000 plus
unaccompanied youth will be
detained along the border this
year.
Attempts by local and
federal authorities to address
the overcrowding has led to
increasing tensions between
anti immigration forces and
those calling for reform. In
Murrieta, California, protesters
blocked buses carrying some of
the detainees from Texas from
entering a processing center
in the area. Demonstrations
between groups on both sides of
the issue fill the airwaves.
President Barack Obama has
pledged to do something about
the current situation and address
the stalemate that has stalled
any movement on immigration
reform.
“The failure of House
Republicans to pass a darn bill
is bad for our security, it’s bad
for our economy, and it’s bad
for our future,” Obama said in
the White House Rose Garden.
“America cannot wait forever for
them to act. That’s why today
I’m beginning a new effort to
fix as much of our immigration
system as I can on my own.”
Local immigration attorney
Raymond Rico talked with
Hispanic News about the
prevailing reasons that many
youths are making the trek
north from countries deeper
in Central America such as
Guatemala, Honduras and El
Salvador.
“Why are they coming to
the United States? What are
they running away from?
Maybe they are running from
abusive parents or maybe their
families have been targeted by
the gang and the drug violence
in their neighborhoods,” he
asked. “Right now Honduras is
considered the most dangerous
country in the world and there
are whole cities that are basically
run by gangs or drug trafficking
organizations.”
Rico discounted charges
that the Dream Act, and other
initiatives such as the Deferred
Action, is contributing to the
exodus.
“Youths have been coming to
the states for years. Even before
the Dream Act program, [youth
immigration] was on the rise.
It is not due to that but rather
the conditions in their country
and their desire to reunite
with family that are here in the
United States already.”
“100,000-Plus Kids - Blame Obama, Bush, Or Who?”
By Guest Writer
Raoul Lowery Contreras
S
ome Americans are going berserk over the
huge numbers of children walking into the
United States through Mexico
from Central America; e.g. -some cable news, some radio
talk shows.
Additionally, there is a loud
minority that point to the
porous South Texas border as
the ultimate result of Barack
Obama’s
perceived
Open
Border policies.
That emotional cohort,
however, is wrong that
President Obama is totally
responsible for the thousands of
children and some adults that
have overwhelmed thousands
of Texas-based Border Patrol
agents. Obama deserves only
one third of the blame for the
situation.
One third of the blame
belongs to six Democrat U.S.
Senators, five of whom voted
against proceeding in 2010
to passage of what became
known as the DREAM Act
(Development, Relief and
Education for Alien Act) that
had passed the House 216-198.
The five who voted against
ending debate were Montana’s
Max Baucus, now Ambassador
to China; Montana’s Jon
Tester, Nebraska’s Ben Nelson
(now a lobbyist) Kay Hagan
of North Carolina currently
not favored for re-election this
November and Arkansas’ Mark
Pryor considered the Senate’s
most endangered incumbent
this November.
The sixth Senator to be
blamed for the DREAM Act
defeat was Majority Leader
Harry Reid who desired a defeat
in order to blast Republicans;
enough Republicans voted for
proceeding with the Dream
Act to have passed so Harry
Reid’s Democrats killed the
Dream Act which would have
allowed children brought here
illegally to be legalized with a
path to citizenship.
Naturally President Obama
blamed
Republicans
for
killing the Dream Act, but
the real blame lay with his
five Democrats and Harry
Reid who didn’t “whip” his
own people to make sure they
were voting for the Act which
the majority and enough
Republicans wanted passed.
The remaining third of
blame for today’s border mess
lies with former Congressman
Tom
Tancredo
(R-CO)
and his political off-spring,
Congressmen Steve King of
Iowa, lame duck Michele
Bachman (R-MN) who is
leaving Congress in December
and somewhere between 40
and 60 like-minded Republican
representatives
who
are
death on Comprehensive
Immigration Reform.
This group of mostly backbench Republicans screams
when
anyone
mentions
immigration reform. The
number one scream of these
people and their enablers in
talk radio is the word “A-M-NE-S-T-Y.”
There is no amnesty
proposed by anyone in the
Senate or the House. Doesn’t
matter, the enablers of stopany-immigration-reform
movement don’t care, they
deceitfully label “legalization”
with many conditions as
amnesty and further are really
death on a “path to citizenship.”
The current crisis on the
Texas border and basically only
on the Texas border can be
blamed equally on Obama, on
those five Democrat senators
who were so frightened by
someone running against them
this year and the few dozen
anti-immigration-reform-ofany-sort Republicans.
In the final analysis, however,
Barack Obama is the principal
bogey-man because when he
became President in 2009 he
had a Democrat House and
Senate and he did nothing on
immigration reform, didn’t
offer any reform program and
didn’t mention immigration
reform.
To this day, Obama has
not offered a written plan
or proposal for immigration
reform like George W. Bush
did in 2006 and 2007. Obama
has failed, utterly failed the
Hispanic community that is
concerned with immigration.
Can the situation be fixed?
Not the immediate problem,
we just will have to deal with
it. But the long range problem
can be alleviated by, of all
people, Eric Cantor, whose
defeat in the 7th Virginia
District primary will end
his congressional run this
December.
If Speaker John Boehner
cooperates, Eric Cantor can
partner with the Cuban
American
Republican
congressmen from Florida,
Democrat Luis Gutierrez
of Chicago and a couple of
Hispanic congressmen from
California and Texas and offer
a House comprehensive reform
bill with five basic elements:
A reformulation of the
existing Immigration and
Customs Enforcement into
a field agency of real sworn
border cops, not cast-offs from
other agencies; more than nine
border sectors so agents can be
moved around on a moment’s
notice not as now with union
rules. No more agents are
necessary than the 20,000 on
payroll now.
Annual
or
bi-annual
work permits applied for by
employers of workers already
here or needed in the future,
all employment categories,
no felony records, labor laws
applicable to all
Residential permits for
families here already with
American born citizen children

FORMER MAYOR
KAY BARNES LOOKS AT
THE CIVIC-MINDED WOMEN
Who Helped Take Down The Pendergast Machine
Kansas City, Missouri - In the 1920s and ‘30s, Kansas City was defined by
the corruptness of the political machine run by “Boss” Tom Pendergast.
The machine finally was brought down, in no small part through the efforts of
reform-minded women. Former Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes tells their story
in Civic Housekeepers and More: Kansas City Women v. Pendergast on Sunday,
July 20, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
The efforts of these reformists culminated in Pendergast’s imprisonment on a
tax-evasion conviction, the election of a crusading new mayor in 1940, and the
smashing of machine-mob rule.
Barnes was the first woman elected as mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, serving
two terms from 1999-2007. Earlier, she was one of the first two women on the
Jackson County Legislature and a member of the Kansas City City Council.
Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, she received degrees in secondary education from
the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Barnes is
now back at KU as a nontraditional student.
This presentation is part of the Missouri Valley Sundays series, a program of
the Missouri Valley Special Collections at the Central Library. The series is made
possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Admission to the event is free. Free parking is available in the Library District
parking garage at 10th and Baltimore. RSVP at kclibrary.org or call 816.701.3407.

Congressman
Cleaver
Calls For
Creating
New Jobs
WASHINGTON,
DC
–
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver,
II spoke on the Floor of the
House of Representatives on
June 24, 2014 on the critical
importance of reauthorizing the
nation’s transportation funding.
He highlighted the decisive
role that transportation and
infrastructure play in Americans’
lives.
Investments
into
transportation and infrastructure
not only generate growth and
jobs, but allow businesses to
grow and communities to form
around solid infrastructure. In
just a few months, the highway
and transit programs will expire,
endangering our roads, bridges,
transit systems, and everyone
who uses them. Even sooner in
late August, the Highway Trust
Fund will become insolvent,
dropping below the $4 billion
funding level as soon as July.
Cleaver said, “Mr. Speaker,
I appreciate the opportunity
to be here particularly with
Mr. Blumenauer and Mr.
Garamendi, who spoke earlier,
because they have long histories,
longer, in fact, than I’ve been
in the House, of pushing for
transportation issues, and I
think that this is a rather sad and
somewhat tragic moment in our
history.
The
Interstate
Highway
System was developed and put
in place in 1956 and who would
have thought that, when we
entered into the 21st century,
that the Congress of the United
States would fail to keep that
system in a top condition.
The transportation bill affects
Americans in every state of
this country. A robust federal
investment in transportation
is
an
economic
engine
strengthening hundreds of
communities and the thing that
I have said often in my district,
and frankly here in hearings,
is that the best stimulus for
the economy, the very best
stimulus, is a transportation
bill. And the weird thing is
that the infrastructure is the
backbone of our economy upon
which businesses, families and
communities thrive. So everyone
is involved in this, red or blue,
urban or rural, we all rely on
transportation infrastructure.
Ensuring economic prosperity
is of paramount importance.
It’s not a Republican or a
Democratic goal, but one that
we all share.”
Cleaver, went on to say, “One
of the things that troubled
me most since I was elected to
Congress ten years ago is that
we have somehow narrowed
everything down to the point
where it is either red or blue.
It’s either Republican or
Democratic. And I’m not sure
how we can look at highway
systems in terms of political
tribalism.
I served as mayor of Kansas
City for eight years during the
1990’s, and I can truthfully say
that I had no idea on a day-to-day
basis, based on what people said
and did, who the Republicans
were and who the Democrats
were. We were all interested in
trying to preserve Kansas City.
And when there was a pothole in
one of the streets in Kansas City,
and Kansas City is a huge city,
322 square miles, to give you an
idea, you can put San Francisco
inside our city limits thirty times,
or St. Louis three times. And
so it’s a huge city, but what we
all were interested in is making
sure, if there was a pothole, it
was fixed. Because there was
no Republican way of fixing it,
there was no Democratic way of
fixing it. We fixed the pothole.
And so one of my great
disappointments when I arrived
here is that is a Republican
or a Democrat philosophy
on
everything,
including
transportation infrastructure.
Every dollar invested in Missouri
transportation generates $4
of economic activity. And the
Federal Highway Administration
actually estimates that for
every $1 billion spent on
transportation, 34,000 direct
and indirect jobs are created.
Just think about that: 34,000
indirect and direct jobs are
generated. And that’s why I
take every opportunity I can to
talk about infrastructure and
improvements to our roads and
bridges and waterways, in my
district and around the country.
Investment in transportation
infrastructure generates growth
and jobs during initial design,
construction, and then post
construction. I can tell you that
at a time like this when we’re
still having some healing needed
with our economy, this is the
time to pump it up. We don’t
need QE-4; we don’t need to do
another Dodd-Frank. We need
to pass a transportation and
infrastructure bill. That begins
to help heal this economy,
because it is a job creator.
Cleaver explained, “According
to the American Society of Civil
Engineers, 2013 report card,
over 3,500 -- I hope people at
home get this -- 3,500 bridges
in Missouri alone are considered
structurally deficient. 3,500
bridges in my state considered
structurally
deficient.
And
over 3,300 are considered
functionally obsolete. That’s
14% of the bridges in the state
of Missouri are functionally
obsolete. And every day, Kansas
Citians and Missourians are
driving over those bridges, and
that’s a tragedy. Because it’s not
only bad in Missouri, it’s that
way all over this country, all over
the country. And this body is the
only body that can address the
problem.
While I agree that states
should step up to raise the
necessary revenues and make
crucial investments themselves,
it should be no surprise that
interstate commerce is a duty
in which this Congress is
uniquely poised to fulfill. We
are a nation of red states and
blue states, urban communities
and rural communities; I
represent both. While each
state must make investments
within the communities, the
responsibility to ensure our
nation remains connected and
globally competitive falls on
this Congress. Bridge after
bridge after bridge is in danger.
Highways are crumbling, and we
cannot sit by and play partisan
politics and argue while our
infrastructure continues to
deteriorate.
And so, Mr. Speaker, I’m here
tonight hoping that these words
are not falling on the floor and
will not be impactful. When
we come in here like this, we’re
hoping that these words matter
and that things can change and
that they will change. It is my
hope that this Congress will
act and act quickly, because we
cannot wait until the last minute
going into August, when we will
end up looking at a Highway
Trust Fund becoming insolvent.
And that means it will drop
below the $4 billion funding
level as soon as next month, July.
We must do something, Mr.
Speaker.
I would like to thank Mr.
Blumenauer for all the work
that he’s done on this issue over
the years, and I hope that the
American people will just saturate
us with letters telling us, ‘pass
a highway and transportation
infrastructure bill.’ Thank you,
Mr. Blumenauer, I yield back.”

Help The American Red Cross
Prevent A Summer Shortage
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The
American Red Cross urges eligible
blood donors to roll up a sleeve
and give to help prevent a summer
blood shortage. Blood donors with
types O negative, B negative and A
negative are especially needed.
The Red Cross is seeing fewer
appointments at its blood donation
centers and blood drives this
summer than what is needed to
ensure blood and platelets continue
to be available for patients. During
the summer months of June, July
and August, on average, about two
fewer donors make an appointment
to give blood at each Red Cross
blood drive than what patients
need. This can add up to more than
100,000 fewer donations during
the summer.
Blood and platelet donations are
needed every day for patients with
many serious medical conditions.
Accident and burn victims, heart
surgery patients, organ transplant
patients, and those receiving
treatment for leukemia, cancer
or sickle cell disease may all need
blood.
To learn more and make an
appointment to donate blood, visit
redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS.

Low Income Energy Assistance
Program Helps Kansans Stay Cool
TOPEKA –Starting this week, Kansans with low
income will have a little extra help paying their
utility bills this summer, thanks to the Low Income
Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP).
“Although we’re enjoying a nice comfortable
week of weather, extreme heat is likely just around
the corner,” Kansas Department for Children and
Families (DCF) Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said.
“This extra assistance will help keep Kansans safe
from dangerous conditions.”
LIEAP provides an annual benefit to help
qualifying households pay winter heating bills.
Persons with disabilities, older adults and families
with children are the primary groups assisted. In the
winter of 2014, nearly 48,000 households received
an average benefit of $449.
This year, funding is available to provide
an additional benefit to those households for
energy costs. This is not a new application
period. Households that applied and received a
benefit during the regular application period will
automatically be issued a supplemental benefit of
approximately $74, bringing the average benefit
for the year to more than $520. The supplemental
funds are in the process of being dispersed.
Funding for the Low Income Energy Assistance
Program is provided by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, Office of Community
Service through the Federal Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program.
For more information on the Low Income Energy
Assistance Program, visit http://www.dcf.ks.gov/
