Perspective
By David Swaim
LATINALISTA
As we watch the Republicans in
the House of Representatives continue to dither over immigration reform, and anti-immigration and proimmigration groups continue the culture war over this issue, it is important to realize the issues being debated are not the cause of illegal immigration nor are the proposals a solution.
Fundamentally, the immigration
“problem” in the U.S. is a problem of
labor. Until Congress decides to address this underlying, fundamental issue, “illegal immigration” will continue.
The History of “Immigration
Reform”
In 1986 Congress faced a very
similar problem. Approximately six
million undocumented aliens were
working in the United States (including family members). Interestingly,
many of those undocumented workers were in the process to obtain per-
manent residence but the quotas had
been overwhelmed and the waiting
periods extended from five to ten
years. But at least there was a legal
option available to employers to legalize their employees.
Congress decided to “reform” this
process by granting legalization/amnesty to a large percentage of those
six million people. Congress also
passed the “employer’s sanctions”
law as part of immigration reform
which supposedly placed the burden
of controlling illegal immigration on
employers.
Even if we assume the legalization program was a success, by granting permanent residence to millions
of undocumented workers, Congress
did not provide for any future mechanism for employers to hire unskilled,
semi-skilled and skilled workers from
outside the U.S.
Although the issue of granting access to the U.S. labor market by foreign nationals is complicated and contentious, the bottom line is that U.S.
employers rely on the foreign labor
pool, especially from Mexico, to fill
many of these types of jobs.

Though he was born in California,
Pedro Lopez spent most of his life in
Colima, Mexico. In 2006, he returned
to the U.S. – to Arizona – with his
parents and entered high school as a
freshman. In school, he worked hard,
joined the Young Business Leaders
of America program and thought he
was headed toward a business or
technical career.
But, in his last month of high
school, Pedro found himself galled by
Arizona’s controversial anti-immigration bill, SB 1070 – nearly everyone
in his family was undocumented –
and he rallied with other students
against the bill at the state Capitol in
2010. Within weeks, he had volunteered as a field organizer with the
immigration advocacy group Promise Arizona.
“I was going to go to college at
Arizona State – I had my scholarship.
But because most of my family is
undocumented, I have a connection
to that issue,” Pedro says.
Fighting for human rights – not career advancement – was his true passion, Pedro realized. So he packed his
clothes and a family photo and headed
south to the U.S.-Mexico border,
where he spent two months volunteering to register voters. By day, he
organized families. At night, he slept
in a church janitor’s closet. After several weeks he had helped to register
850 new voters.
He speaks humbly, but Pedro’s
get-out-the-vote efforts were part of
a massive grassroots campaign that
eventually brought him to Washington, D.C. to lobby for passage of the
DREAM Act.
He is now a community college
student and plans to transfer to Arizona State, majoring in political science. “Delaying school meant losing
some of the scholarship money, but I
felt the need to help organize my community,” he says.
The decision had impressive consequences: In 2011, Pedro became involved in a successful campaign to
recall state Sen. Russell Pearce, an
anti-immigration activist.
In 2012, concerned about the lack
of youth leadership in his community,
he ran for a seat on the Cartwright
school board in West Phoenix – and
won. “We were the only campaign

The Deportee Chronicles: Life After Diesel Therapy
By Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
Fernando Santos’ life these
days doesn’t exactly fit his old
nickname:”Drifter.” Instead of
wandering the land, the former
U.S. resident takes care of others who answer the call of the
road at the budget hotel he
manages in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico.
Santos’ digs are comfy, with
a down-home atmosphere enlivened by paintings and photos of Frida Kahlo and Pancho
Villa. The long table in the common room is a place where
members of more than a dozen
nationalities can swap war stories while taking in a few Coronas.
“Every person who is traveling should consider themselves an ambassador,” Santos
waxes philosophically. “I’d say
90 percent of the people who
come here are good people, but
then you have the oddballs.”
An easy-going man with a
stocky build and a ready laugh
to boot, Santos says he could
never imagine how his life
would eventually turn out when
he was a young man gangbanging on the streets of Los
Angeles and Denver.
Mexico-born, Santos was
brought to the U.S. by his family when he was only four years
old. Early in life, Santos became
fatherless.
Back in the late 1970s, while
he was headed to the United
States, Dad simply vanished in
the northern Mexican border
state of Tamaulipas. Time
passed but the man never returned home. Family members
Back in the not so good
‘good ol’ days’ for people of
color, my San Felipe Barrio (in
Del Rio, Texas) was already
honoring ouar fellow brothers
and sisters. In those days,we
had a term of endearment for
the barrio’s African
Americans, negrita/os.
Just before the dawning of
a new era, when they could
join us in our segregated
school districts, we mingled
with our pals in several ways
– sports, parties, church
events and we even had
negrita/o girl/boyfriends! We
used to sarcastically say to
those that questioned our
peaceful co-existence, “ we
didn’t know any better!”
Looking back at those
days in the South, we realized
how far ahead of our time we
really were. My Dad, José,
for instance, after I had read
a national story about U.S.
kids playing organized
baseball complete with all the
trimmings like unifoarms,
small diamonds, etc., was
instrumental in getting me and
some pals into the town’s
very segregated Little League
teams. And we proved to be
an asset when out of town
competition time rolled
around. But still our barrio
had no organized teams. Then
he took a bold step and
marched into the League’s
local headquarters and
proposed to organize several
teams, all in the barrio, to
serve as farm teams for the
official Little League teams
who played on “el lado
americano.”
He used me and my buds
as proof of the untapped
baseball talent our barrio
possessed. When they
reneged because of cost, he
took a giant leap for the kids
few spoke for and told them
to keep the money, that all he
wanted was their official
blessing!
He got the chance he
sought and immediately hit
his fellow barrio merchant
pals for funding. As the
owner of a mom and pop
store near the outskirts of
our town, he was well known
and respected for providing
all sorts of support for the
children. When his amigos
responded with financial aid,
he set out to recruit coaches
for his teams. He found them
in our barrio school system’s
teachers and coaches (most
of them his store customers
too). He didn’t stop there
and contacted an old radio
amigo he had befriended

Miles de mexicanos tanto en
el país como en el extranjero,
eventually poked around the
borderland searching for their
loved one, only to be warned
to “stop asking,” Santos recollects.
He suspects that his old
man, who liked playing cards
and shooting pool, ran afoul of
the wrong situation.
The youngest of six children,
four sisters and two brothers,
Santos was raised by a suddenly single woman who struggled to maintain a family in the
tough Los Angeles County city
of Compton. The older brother
“headed for the streets and I
followed,” is how Santos describes his youthful years.
“(Gang life) is what we saw.
That’s what we did. There
comes a point when you have
to change your life, and that is
what I did,” says a survivor
who is now approaching the
early stages of middle age.
Yet before the changes
came, Santos’ life took big institutional detours. First, he
whittled away nine years in juvenile and adult correctional
facilities. Later, he was funneled through the labyrinith of
the U.S. immigration system.
In 1998, Santos was slapped
with a 48-month federal prison
term for selling heroin to an
undercover Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) agent in
Denver, Colorado. The sentencing judge, U.S. District
Judge Richard P. Matsch, was
the same one who presided
over Oklahoma City bomber
Timothy McVie’s trial.
The young Santos was
shipped around between different federal prisons, including La Tuna near El Paso and
El Reno, Oklahoma, in a shuffle
he calls “diesel therapy.” The
former inmate attributes gang
associations to a two-year,
sun-deprived stint in El Reno’s
solitary lock-up, “That’s when
you know who you are,”
Santos says of the experience.
Due to his immigration status, Santos was subjected to
deportation proceedings prior
to the end of the prison sentence. The DEA, he says,
played the immigration card,
urging the young prisoner to
inform on his dope supplier in
return for being allowed to stay
in the U.S. Rejecting the
snitching-for-citizenship deal,
Santos took the rap on the chin.
“Growing up on the streets, you
don’t (snitch),” he says.
Consequently, Santos underwent his first deportation. In
2002 the U.S. authorities transported the newly-released prisoner to the border of Laredo,
Texas, and Nuevo Laredo,
Tamaulipas, telling Santos to
look south and “keep walking.”
Ironically, Nuevo Laredo was
the possible place where
Santos’ father disappeared
long ago.
By the time Santos set foot
on Mexican soil, Nuevo Laredo was if anything only a
meaner place, with the war for
the border city between the
Sinaloa and Gulf drug cartels
primed to explode.
Finding Nuevo Laredo a
hostile-looking town and not
knowing anyone in the city,
Santos immediately took a bus
to Tijuana. There, he found
willing coyotes, immigrant
smugglers, who agreed to
cross him over to the U.S. for
$3,000, a task which was easily accomplished after calls
were made to relatives on the
U.S. side and a deal struck to
deliver Santos in return for the
money.
Santos headed back to Denver, where his mother was living, landing a job in construction as a heavy equipment operator with a former employer
who was unconcerned about
the ex-con’s legal hassles. “He
didn’t care,” Santos says. “He
knew I was a hard worker.”
But Santos’ return didn’t last
long. One day in 2003, he says
he was arrested when he
could not produce an i.d. during a traffic stop. The U.S.
immigration authorities gave
him two options: sign a voluntary deportation or contest it.
When Santos leaned toward
the former, he was surprised
to hear officials’ reactions.
“‘Are you sure you want to
get deported’?” he remembers
officials saying. “‘You don’t
even sound Mexican’.”
Although the child of Mexican immigrants is quite adept
at speaking Spanish, he considers English his primary
tongue: “I think in English.”
Opting for voluntary deportation, Santos was sent to
Mexico the second time courtesy of the El Paso-Ciudad
Juarez borderland. He quickly
hopped aboard a bus in Juarez
for the Bajio region of central
Mexico, where relatives lived.
As Santos recalls, “It was
cool. I had some money saved
up. I had two cars. I decided I
was done with (criminality).”
Perhaps suprisingly, the 39year-old expresses no bitter-
ness or regrets about his expulsion from El Norte. “Everything I did was bad and I’m not
crying.” Santos adds. “If you
get in jail and get deported, you
have no one else to blame.
That’s why I keep a light attitude.”
As the evening progresses,
two women from Spain, Maria
and Monica, sit down at the
common table under the watchful eyes of Frida Kahlo.
The talk turns to travels
through Maya land, the economic disaster in Spain and the
massive migration shifts around
the globe. Jobs might be few
and far between in Spain, but
desperate migrants from subSaharan Africa continue arriving looking for whatever scraps
of employment they can find in
order to simply eat another day,
the women say.
Like the U.S.-Mexico border, the passage from Africa
to Europe is deadly. In recent
weeks, at least 27 African migrants were killed attempting
to cross the sea between Morocco and Spain.
Back to Fernando Santos’
story. After living a couple of
years in his new Mexican
home, Santos was invited by a
relative to Canada. The old
wanderlust back, he moved to
London, Ontario, joining a
handful of Mexicans in a medium-sized city that nevertheless had a growing Latino population, mainly Colombians and
other immigrants from South
and Central America.
Santos later headed west,
securing a good-paying job in

UC San Diego’s Mexico Moving Forward
Symposium Examines 20 Years of NAFTA
Cuyamaca College dean recounts challenges of AfricanAmerican women in higher education leadership
As an African-American
college dean, Marsha Gable
knew she was taking a risk
focusing on the touchy topic of
race in her doctoral dissertation in 2011.
But what resulted is a fascinating, intensely personal account of seven black women
who managed to beat the odds
to become CEOs in the state
systems of public colleges and
universities. The Cuyamaca
College dean of counseling
services since early 2013 gave
a recent presentation, “Our
Roots are Deep: Living Life
from the Core,” as part of the
campus’ commemoration of
Black History Month.
Her research pointed to a
huge deficit of leadership by
black women at the state’s
community colleges and universities. Gable’s research in
2010-2011 showed 28 AfricanAmerican women possessed
doctorates in senior and executive positions: 22 at community
colleges; two at the California
State Universities and four at
the University of California
campuses.
Gable, who received a doctorate in education from San Diego State University, reached
out to all 28 college leaders to
participate in her study. She calls
the group who participated the
“Seven Wise Women,” who
each agreed to interviews, field
observations and journals
chronicling their day-to-day activities.
The data Gable collected
showed that while the women
had their own unique paths to
leadership, what they had in
common were values-based
leadership styles and specific
strategies that helped them remain resilient while dealing with
challenges based on their race
and gender.
The women in the study had
telling observations on the topic
of race, pointing to the longlasting sting of a racially untoward comment.
“It takes you by surprise, but
it also digs into your reserve,”
said one, noting that what could
be described as “racial moments” are not moments at all.
“It is something that lingers and
it is cumulative.”
Another spoke about the
pressure of constantly having
to prove herself as a highly
competent administrator.
“Old people say, you don’t
go acting like a fool because
then, people think all black
people act like a fool,” she said,
adding that she “didn’t have the
luxury of being mediocre. Other
African-American women are
counting on me to have been
successful.”
Gable noted in her study that
negative perceptions and stereotyped images of AfricanAmerican women —– as the
“Mammy” portrayed as the
nurturing and subservient caretaker, and as the “Sapphire,”
characteristically abrupt, domineering, and loud – are also
detrimental to their success as
administrators in higher education.
Dean, Marsha Gable
as far as the eighth grade and
was a city bus driver. Putting
her own schooling on hold to
care for her children, Gable’s
mother returned to the classroom in her 40s and became a
special education teacher, a job
she held until she retired at age
73. Gable credits her parents for
instilling the importance of education in her and four siblings,
all of whom have college degrees.
Gable recounted the times
she rode the bus with her father at the wheel, hearing the
frequent racial slurs directed
toward him.
“These comments were especially degrading because my
father served this country as a
sergeant in the United States
Army during WWII, and of
course experienced racism
during his service,” she said.
“My dad would say ‘I don’t
know what’s wrong with those
people, but whatever it is that’s
Personal story
not my issue, it’s theirs.’”

Mexico’s most visionary leaders, vibrant culture, past accomplishments and future goals will
be the focus of the University
of California, San Diego’s
Mexico Moving Forward
symposium, from 8:30 a.m. to
6 p.m. on March 6. The symposium, hosted by the Center
for U.S.-Mexican Studies at
the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, will
focus on Mexico’s progress and
future goals 20 years after the
signing of the North Atlantic
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It also will feature University of California President
Janet Napolitano, UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K.
Khosla and the School of International Relations and Pacific
Studies Dean Peter Cowhey, as
well as experts from both sides
of the border.
This year’s symposium on
“20 Years of NAFTA and Beyond,” to be held at the
Sanford Consortium Auditorium, is free and open to the
public. “I’m excited to be a part
of UC San Diego’s Mexico
Moving Forward symposium,”
said UC President Janet
Napolitano. “Our mutual interests in productive economic,
cultural and educational interchanges between Mexico and
California make this gathering
particularly timely.”
The event will bring policy
makers and leaders of top think
tanks together to discuss
Mexico’s current reform
agenda and opportunities to increase commercial linkages
with Asia The conference will
also include presentations by
contemporary artists, writers
and film makers, as well as performances and exhibitions.
“This symposium underscores UC San Diego’s commitment to our relationship
with Mexico and our binational
border region,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “Our
unique geographical position on
the U.S.-Mexico border allows
us to continue and increase engagement, collaboration and
exchange with Mexican scholars and students.”
Many distinguished business
leaders are expected to attend
the symposium to discuss
Mexico’s continuing evolution.
Trade and economic relations
between Mexico and the U.S.
are expected to continue to
grow. After NAFTA, U.S.
trade with Mexico has tripled,
making Mexico the United
States’ third largest exporter
and making the United States
Mexico’s No. 1 trading partner.
The speakers for Mexico
Moving Forward include Luis
Tellez, CEO, Mexican Stock
Exchange; Arturo Sarukhan,
chairman, Global Solutions and
former Mexican Ambassador
to the U.S.; Carlos Elizondo,
professor, Centro de Investigacion y Docencia Economicas (CIDE); Juan Gallardo,
chairman, Grupo Embotelladoras Unidas; Exequiel
Ezcurra, director, UC’s Institute for Mexico and the United
States (UC MEXUS); Ignacio
Duran, cinematographer; and
more. “Mexico Moving Forward is one of our signature
events that highlights the depth
of the school’s engagement
with policy-relevant research
on Mexico,” said School of International Relations and Pacific Studies dean Peter
Cowhey. “Another area for
significant new growth and
change for Mexico is Asia—
and how the economic ties between Mexico and Asia can be
strengthened will be a major
topic of discussion at the
event.” Melissa Floca, associate director of the Center for
U.S.-Mexican Studies, said
Mexico Moving Forward highlights the transformational
power of the extraordinary
achievements of Mexicans
committed to the future of
Mexico. “We are thrilled to
welcome a distinguished group
of speakers for wide-ranging
discussion on Mexico’s future,”
Floca said. The March 6 symposium features the following
sessions:

look at all the changes in the
last two decades in Mexico that
have been brought about because of NAFTA. Moderated
by UC San Diego political science professor Peter Smith,
this first session features the
policy makers who initially put
NAFTA to work. The trade
agreement officially began on
Jan. 1, 1994.
Session II – Faces of
Mexico: Arts and Culture,
11 a.m.: Panelists will discuss
how the opening of the Mexican economy under NAFTA
has affected the ability of writers, filmmakers, actors, musicians and artists to reach international audiences. Speakers
will also provide observations on
how changes in Mexico in the
last two decades have influenced their work. UC MEXUS
director Exequiel Ezcurra will
serve as moderator.
Session III – Mexico on

Expertos en adicción citados
en un reciente artículo del New

Así que lo que queda claro
es que debemos calcular muy

alone, anywhere from 30-40% of the population is uninsured, some of the highest rates in
the County.
The Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” is designed to increase access
to health care to millions of uninsured across the country that cannot afford insurance, face
enrollment barriers or were dropped by their employer.
WHEN: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2014, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
WHO: The San Ysidro Health Center and Supervisor Greg Cox are hosting the community forum along with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez and the National City Mayor and
Council.

If Congress does not provide
a legal method for employers
to employ these individuals, the
labor market simply disregards
the “law” and forces employers and employees to engage
in illegal conduct. In short, employers in the U.S. cannot find
enough U.S. workers to fill
these positions and the employees from other countries, particularly Mexico, need those
jobs.
The law of “supply and demand” does not adhere to borders or edicts from Congress;
at least for long. This may
sound very basic but it is critical to understanding how we
arrived in 2014 with over 11
million undocumented workers
and their families.
Not only did Congress not
provide any new mechanisms
for this type of labor to legally
enter the U.S., it actually took
two additional steps which
made it virtually impossible.
First, through the Immigration Act of 1990, Congress almost completely eliminated unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled
workers from the immigration
process. Although it had been
extremely difficult and time
consuming up to that point, the
1990 amendments basically
eliminated this category of labor from the legal immigration
process except for 10,000 visas per year.
Then in 1996 Congress created the infamous “bars” which
essentially trapped every illegal
worker in the U.S. by denying

Vancouver as a concrete finisher. In the interim, he met a
Canadian woman, got married
and had a son.
But Santos’ U.S. past followed him to Canada. He applied for Canadian residency but
was rejected. Undeterred, he
tried again but was advised by
his lawyer that the applicant’s
chances would be better if he
returned to Mexico during the
time the petition was under consideration.
As in the United States system, family separation was an
immigrant’s lot. According to
the prospective Canadian, the
current immigration rules oblige
his sponsoring wife to show at
least six months’ worth of annual income earned while residing in Canada.
Going on four years later,
Santos still hasn’t heard the
decision on his application.
“I’ve been waiting ever since,”
he says with a sigh of resignation filling his voice. “They keep
telling me they’re waiting for
background checks.”
Santos is pretty certain that
his tatoos and U.S. criminal
record are making the application a long, drawn-out ordeal.

them access to the U.S. Consulates outside the country.
Congress did this by invoking a
10-year bar to returning to the
U.S. if the person left the country while being out of status.
In effect, every employer
and undocumented employee
who was trying to legalize status was then prevented from
completing the case because
the trip home to the U.S. Consulate would result in a 10-year
bar to returning. In the space
of six years, Congress had effectively eliminated almost all
categories for legal status in the
U.S. for this type of employment and then punished any
employee who actually tried the
very limited legal process available.
The Current Immigration
Reform Debate
In 2014 we are seeing the results of the 1990 and 1996 immigration amendments. Eleven million undocumented workers and
their families live in the U.S. with
no hope of gaining legal status
regardless of how much support
they may receive from their employers.
Congress, of course, does
not see that its policies over the
past 25 years have created this
situation; the Republicans in
Congress simply blame the
employees for breaking the
“law”. Unfortunately, the “law”
of the labor market is based on
reality rather than the artificial
prohibitions erected in Washington.
The bill which passed the
Senate last summer contained
hundreds of provisions and one
of the most important, if not the
most important, was a provision
to allow for unskilled and skilled
workers to have access to a
Yet again, he conveys no bad
feelings. “I can understand
why they are looking at me, and
I think they are waiting to see
if I give up,” he speculates.
Though he is separated from
his family, Santos carefully
weighs his past, present and
future. Looking back, Santos’
life fortunes resulted in a far
different outcome than the fate
of his brother, who was beaten
to death with a bat in 1991, or
of his cousin who was murdered, or of his old homeboys
who are dead.
“I’m here and the people I
grew up with aren’t. I consider
myself very lucky,” he says. “In
retrospect, I think it was good
what happened to me, because
otherwise I wouldn’t have been
to Canada and had a son. Deportation has opened so many
doors in itself. In a way it is
going to sound crazy, but I am
grateful I got deported.”
Still, Santos acknowledges
that the seemingly endless Canadian residency application
process is taking its toll on family unity.
The manager says he makes
a decent salary by Mexican
standards, but does not earn
enough to support his family up
north. Moreover, his wife, who

least a step in the right direction to recognize the underlying problem and provide a legal
option for employers to find foreign employees for this type of
employment.
Unfortunately, the debate in
the House of Representatives
has been over issues such as
legalizing the undocumented
workers already in the U.S.,
“securing the border” (whatever that means), and to some
extent modifying the “legal immigration” process.
There has been no discussion
whatsoever about the underlying problem of unskilled and
skilled labor and the lack of options available to employers in
the U.S. Until that issue is addressed by Congress, and even
if 11 million people eventually get
some type of legal status, the
problem will not go away in the
future simply because employers will run out of this type of
employee and again will have no
legal option to turn to.

Where is the national outrage over the
Jordan Davis killing?
F
irst there was the Trayvon Martin case where George
Zimmerman seemingly got
away with killing Martin. This
case took place in Florida where they
have a law that allows individuals to
“stand your ground” and defend themselves, with deadly force, when that person feels that their life is threatened.
The Trayvon Martin case drew national
attention and outrage. Protest sprung up
and hoodies became a political statement
and a condemnation of the justice system towards the black community.
The Trayvon Martin case is pale in comparison to the recent case of Michael
Dunn, a white man who fatally shot black
teenager Jordan Davis for refusing to
turn down his “thug music.” It wasn’t a
dark street, with no one around, plenty
of witness, and no physical contact or a
brawl. Just a man with a gun who felt justified enough to shoot into a vehicle.
Like the George Zimmerman case, the
Dunn case was in Florida and Dunn invoked the “stand your ground,” defense
stating that he felt his life was in danger.
The killing took place at a convenience
store and it was over an argument about
the volume of the radio, which Dunn
wanted lowered. The two got into an argument and Dunn stated that he saw
Davis getting out the Dodge Durango
with a shotgun, no gun was found and a
forensic expert testified Davis was sit-
ting down when he was shot. Dunn
opened fire and poured 10 bullets into
the parked SUV killing Davis and wounding his three passengers.
The Florida jury was deadlock on
whether or not Dunn killed Davis or
acted in self-defense. The juries’ message, basically, stated that a teenager arguing over loud music is enough to be
considered life threatening and justifiable enough to take a young persons life!
Or to put it another way, just being a
Black person is enough for a white person to fear for his life.
While Dunn got away from a murder
conviction, he was found guilty of three
counts of attempted murder of the other
boys in the car and of another charge related to shooting recklessly. Dunn now
faces the possibility of spending the rest
of his life in prison. Each attempted
murder count carries a minimum sentence of 20 years.
It is unsettling despite how far we have
come in regards to race relations, diversity, equality, and that we have a Black
man as president, a white man’s lies are
still more believable than the facts and
that it is okay to kill a Black person.
Another unsettling point is that while
Treyvon Martin drew national outrage,
the killing of Jordan Davis has not drawn
out such national outrage. Is it that as a
nation, we have become callous to these
types of killings?
Jordan Davis: A Dream Denied
By Demetria L. Lucas
THE ROOT
Jordan Davis would have celebrated his
19th birthday on Sunday.
Instead the 17-year-old was killed by
Michael Dunn at a Florida gas station in
2012 when Jordan and his friends refused to turn down their loud music.
On Saturday night, Dunn was found
guilty of three counts of second-degree
attempted murder but was not convicted
on the charge of first-degree murder in
the killing of Jordan. Dunn now faces
more than 60 years in prison.
In a press conference after the verdict,
Davis’s father described him as a “good
kid.”
On the last day of his young life, Jordan was doing what most teenagers do:
hanging with his boys and trying to pick
up girls. Jordan was like most teenagers
navigating that sometimes difficult phase
that bridges childhood and manhood.
But it’s becoming harder for black boys
to become black men, especially when
simple acts of a teenage phase get labeled “thug” behavior.
Jordan Davis deserved to grow up like
the rest of us and become an adult who
rolls his eyes when teenagers goof off
too much, drive too fast and play their
music too loud.
At 19 years old I was a junior in college, studying for graduate exams and
begging my parents to let me either move
off campus with my friends or study
abroad in London. They said no to the
move, which is what I really wanted to
do. I only brought up London because it
made getting my own apartment nearby
look more attractive—or so I thought.
My folks, bafflingly, said yes to London.
I’d recently decided that I wanted to be
a writer because a professor in my African-American-studies class said I’d be
good at it. It was too late to change my
major from English to journalism—two
entirely different types of writing, really—so as a second-semester junior, I
was taking my first journalism class.
Older people kept telling me that
“these are the best days of your life. Enjoy them.” But as much as I was looking
forward to goofing off with my friends
throughout senior year, I couldn’t wait
to graduate and get my life started.
“Start” meant moving to New York.
Simple, right? But thinking about all the
what-ifs terrified me.
I went to the club every college night
and got all sweaty trying to keep up with
the Baltimore girls dancing to house
music. I argued with my parents a lot,
mostly about the car and because I had
no clue at 19 that they were pretty much
right about everything. I went places I had
no business being, drove my car too fast
and played my music too loud, especially
Jay Z and Biggie.
In my downtime, I daydreamed a lot—
about the next boy, the next party, the next
exam or paper, the next spring break ...
because I took for granted that there
would always be a ... “next.” The world
was spread out as a canvas before me; I
just had to figure out what I wanted to
add to it.
Jordan Davis deserved to have afternoons of daydreams, nights of parties,
an opportunity to leave his mark and a
lifetime of “nexts,” too. He deserved the
chance to see his dreams come to fruition.
But he didn’t get that chance. It feels
horrible to see “RIP” before a 17-yearold’s name.

Chicanos, how did we become
America's new slave culture?
By Emiliano Villa
In my journey as a community activist
and Chicano advocate, I've experienced
many fascinating elements that have inspired me but also scarred me to my very
soul. I have fought the Chicano politician who capitulated in the selling out
of his community, broke bread with the
"Old Man" whom lent the little he had
but gave unselfishly of his wisdom, and
have shared space with our sons who
have fallen victim to a privatized prison
system. I have fought the white dragon
of racism and today… today will begin
the telling of those many travels.
There are many obstacles preventing
the Chicano people from achieving
American uni-culturalism, but none more
profound than the many differing points
of view available within the Chicano
community itself on what it means to be
Chicano. We seem to be our own worst
enemy. From the militant Chicano who
stubbornly believes that his vote will
never count, to the Feminist Chicana who
has lost sight of the Chicano plight, to
the Mexican-American who is blinded by
the smoke screen of "illegal immigration" and refuses to commit to anything
other than. And every one of these offshoots has a profoundly different point
of view when it comes to defining who
we are.
Within the Latin spectrum -- from Aztec immigrant to Spanish Chicano -- and
all in between, sit the many facets, the
nooks and crannies if you will, that blur
the definition of who the Chicano truly
are.
Take the Feminist Chicana and the
Mexican-American for example. I can
empathize with the Feminist Chicana
because women's rights are diminishing
in America. Nevertheless, we mustn't allow her to take herself away from what
we need to accomplish as a community.
Recently, I contacted a Chicano advocacy organization in California that was
founded by a very prominent Chicana. I
wanted to interview her for a project I
had been working on. Her input might
have guided the Chicano community immensely in the context of the 60s
Chicano civil rights movement. But when
I was finally contacted by her "scheduler",
I was immediately given the treatment.
"Who was I?" "What did I want to interview her about?" "What questions will I
be asking her?"
Not in a polite manner, mind you, but a
very antagonistic way. She didn't treat me
the way I believe we should be treating
fellow Chicano advocates. But, alas, this
is the reality.
So when I asked if their organization
was more involved with the women's
movement rather than the Chicano movement, that was pretty much the end of
our conversation. The Scheduler would
never get back to me and I would never
get to interview the Chicana leader of this
feminist organization set up as a Chicano
advocacy.
Now, when I contacted a MexicanAmerican professor of Chicano studies
who taught at a college in Southern California, I had come to realize how "illegal Immigration" was consuming Chicano
activism to the detriment of all other
Chicano issues that, I believe, are truly
hindering the Chicanos Self-determination in this country.
"What can I do for you my, Brother?"
the gentleman on the other end of the
line bellowed with his thick Mexican
accent.
I explained to him that I was a Chicano
activist and was currently writing a book
and wanted to create a focus group to…
"Sorry, but I must take this call brother,
but call me back tomorrow so we can
talk," he would say, cutting me off. "Sure,"
I told him and resigned myself to contacting him the following day.
The following day…
"Hey, brother, sorry but I am very busy.
Can you call me back later?"
Later…
"Hey, brother…
"Listen," I interrupted, "Mr. Professor,
is there a time when we can discuss this
thoroughly?"
"Yes, call me tomorrow after lunch and
we'll have a conversation."
Tomorrow, after lunch…
"Hey, brother, listen, I want to help you
but I am very busy. Can you e-mail me
with what you want to do; then we can
discuss it further. Be specific and let me
know exactly what it is that you want to
accomplish."
This is what's referred to as a gatekeepers filibuster. He would have kept
this up until he frustrated or aggravated
me, subsequently alienating me toward
him and continuing a dynamic that seems
to exist between the Chicano and
Mejicano… a dynamic that needs to be
discussed amongst ourselves.
Rudolfo Acuna, in his book entitled
"Occupied America: The Chicano's
Struggle Toward Liberation", writes: "…
Other groups have been the victims of
such forces, (i.e. racism, nativism and
economic exploitation) but-with the obvious exceptions of the Indians and the
blacks-they have managed to achieve a
degree of acceptance and self-determination far greater than that of the
Chicanos."
In other words, besides Indians and
blacks, Chicanos are at the "bottom rung
of the proverbial ladder." But since 1972,
when Mr. Acuna wrote this, "Indians" have
cornered the gaming industry and blacks
now have a president in the White House
while Chicanos by way of Mexican immigration have become America's new
slave culture.
Chicanos, how did we become
America's new slave culture? How did our
leaders allow America to reduce Mexican human beings to "illegal aliens"? In a
country founded by immigrants!
How is it that we have allowed our
community leaders to sell us out as
Motecuhzoma II had done in 1519 to the
Tlaxcaltecas and a handful of Spaniards?
The time has come to hold our supposed leaders accountable. The time has
come for us to collectively demand answers.
The time has come for the Chicano to
wake up.
Chicanos, time to ask the NCLR what
they are doing about our children's educational future. It's time to ask MALDEF
what's being done about the police-beating death of David Silva and the shooting of sixteen-year-old Joshua Alvarez.
Time to ask, no demand, that our leaders
stand up and show their faces on national
media. If we can't turn to our supposed
Chicano leaders and those organizations
which claim to stand for the Chicano,
how are we going to demand our civil
liberties from our broader American
leadership?
Our fathers must take responsibility for
where we are as a culture today. We must
take responsibility for where our children are tomorrow.
Who are we? Time for some answers.

Oklahoma Latinos setting the record straight after
outrageous local news reporting says undocumented
immigrants work for Mexican cartels
By Juan Miret
LATINA LISTA
On February 3, 2014, two CBS stations and
affiliates in Oklahoma - News on 6 in Tulsa
and News on 9 in Oklahoma City - aired a story
connecting the increase of the undocumented
population in the state, with the local activity of
Mexican drug cartels. No specific numbers, no
formal studies.
Despite the numerous studies and carefully
detailed statistical reports outlining the positive
effects of immigration, the report was a bowl
of misinformation and inaccuracies.
In these times, it is critical that the general
public is informed about the facts. Research
shows that immigrants significantly benefit the
economy in Oklahoma by creating new jobs,
and complementing the skills of the U.S. native workforce, with a net positive impact on
wage rates overall.
Oklahoma & Immigrants
Contrary to the national trend, the combined
undocumented immigrant population grew in
some states of the nation in the last decade.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center in 2007,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas had a combined 1.55 million undocumented immigrants
living within their borders. In 2010, that number grew to 1.8 million.
Oklahoma’s undocumented immigrant population of 75,000 is making extraordinary and
tangible contributions to the state and the Midwest.
The long-standing presence and contributions
of the undocumented to the economic development and cultural diversity of Latinos and
the immigrant population in the state showcase
a tremendous growth in the last decade. They
are writing Oklahoma’s future by planting
strong historical roots.
Nationally, Latinos, largely of Mexican descent, comprise the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority in the U.S. After English,
Spanish is the most widely spoken language; in
fact, the United States is the fourth largest
Spanish-speaking nation in the world.
In many respects, Oklahoma reflects these
national trends.
Spanish is Oklahoma’s second most commonly spoken language. Latinos have surpassed both Native Americans and African
Americans as the largest minority in the state.
People of Mexican heritage comprise the
largest minority, but Hispanics in Oklahoma
trace their roots to all 19 Spanish-speaking Latin
American nations and Puerto Rico.
As a matter of fact, and according to a special study conducted by the Pew Research
Center in 2011, titled Demographic Profile of
Hispanics in Oklahoma, Latinos now account
for 9 percent of Oklahoma’s 3.8 million - ranking 24th in the U.S.
These figures are remarkable, not only because Oklahoma’s Hispanic population has
nearly doubled in the last 10 years, from 179,000
to more than 347,000, but because state legislators passed one of the country’s strictest immigration law: Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act.
Passed in November 2007, the law includes
provisions that go beyond the controversial
measures approved in Arizona with the SB
1070. The so-called HB 1804 of Oklahoma
drove tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants out of the state, although an exact
number is difficult to calculate. However, the
Hispanic population grew 85 percent in the last
decade, and accounted for about half the state’s
overall growth. The rest of Oklahoma’s population just grew about 9 percent since 2000.
America has always been a nation of immigrants. Oklahoma is an example of the so called
melting pot. Throughout the state’s history, immigrants from around the globe have kept the
workforce vibrant, the businesses on the cutting edge, and helped to build a great economic
engine.
Also, immigrants have had an extraordinary
impact in the arts and academic fields.
The problem is that America’s immigration
system is broken and has not kept pace with
the changing times.´
The Community Speaks Up
The strong reaction to the insensitive and inaccurate reporting done by these Oklahoma
news outlets could have been avoided had they
been the professionals in their craft they would
have us believe. As such, their shoddy “reporting” has forced the state’s Latino community
leaders to speak out to set the record straight.
Iván Godínez, coordinator DREAM Act
Oklahoma, said, “The undocumented community and Hispanic community should not be
portrayed in unison with drug cartels. Drug
cartels are not solely part of one specific demographic. The story was a hurtful generalization of the undocumented community and the
Hispanic community by wrongly associating
them as responsible for drug activity within
Oklahoma.
“The state may be seeing an increase in undocumented and/or the Hispanic community;
however, a majority are actually small business
owners, students, parents, religious leaders, and
children. There is no mention of positive representation of this in Oklahoma.”
According to Mana Tahaie, director of racial
justice at the YWCA Tulsa, “The story made
some inaccurate and deeply harmful generalizations about the undocumented in Oklahoma, especially Mexican immigrants. I found a few things
remarkable: First that the initial claim - that Oklahoma is seeing the highest increase in undocumented immigration - was unsubstantiated.
“In fact, the Pew study the reporter that cited
referenced 2010 numbers, and does not indicate any growth over the past several years.
Second, that the piece made it seem that all
narco trafficking in Oklahoma comes from
south of the border - especially when we know
that our state’s largest drug problem is prescription narcotics, followed by meth.
“Third, the story painted a one-dimensional
picture of Mexico as a dangerous wasteland
ruled by drug cartels, which at best perpetuates a false stereotype and at worst leaves out
the substantial role the U.S. “War on Drugs”
has played in border violence. And finally, it
framed the tens of thousands of Latinos, especially undocumented Mexicans, as criminals.
“The same Pew study demonstrates that
while the undocumented represent just 2% of
Oklahoma’s population, they are 3% of the labor force - directly challenging the idea that
they are all trafficking drugs from Mexico.
“The piece was very divisive, pushing Latinos
and their allies further to one side and anti-immigrants to the other extreme, and pitting them
against each other. It doesn’t build understanding, or create a dialogue. Instead, it instilled fear
of invasion and attack. It stirs up the existing
resentment among many native-born Oklahomans, who, because of poor reporting like this,
are misinformed on the issues and therefore
scapegoat newcomers.
“What’s most unfortunate about the piece is
that due to the segregated nature of our communities, stories like this are often the only way
that any Oklahomans learn about their neighbors - and the incomplete and inaccurate picture this paints only leads to further division
rather than genuine understanding.”
Lily Gonzalez D’Ross, President of Café con
Leche Republicans - Oklahoma Chapter, Political Action Committee, concurred. “We are
appalled and dismayed by the nearly complete
lack of fact checking and lack of objectivity.
Certainly, as with any large group, there is a
small criminal element among the unauthorized
immigrant community, but statistically we are
less likely to find an immigrant in prison than a
native born American. In fact, incarceration
rates for Hispanics in Oklahoma are quite low.
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections reports 7.3 percent of new inmates in 2013 are
Hispanic, while the U.S. Census reports 9.3
percent of Oklahoma residents are Hispanic.
These statistics are even more remarkable
when we consider that the demographic group
most likely found in prison are young adults.
“We call on Channel 6 and Channel 9 to apologize for the news story that is thoroughly insulting to many Hispanics, and take appropriate action to ensure future news stories about
immigration are objective and grounded in facts,
not pandering to hysteria about immigration.”

The Latest CBO Report and Its
Implications on Obamacare
By Maria Cardona
LATINOVATIONS
Lately, much has been speculated about a
recent report published by the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) and what the data means
for the economy of the country. Many Republicans in Washington, without actually reading
the report, have concluded that the data published by the CBO implies that the Affordable
Care Act, aka Obamacare, eliminates 2 million
jobs over a period of 10 years.
First of all, you have to let the facts speak
for themselves. Since Obamacare became law
in 2010, the private sector has created over 8.1
million jobs. As long as you read the full report
and not exclude important facts to play political games that benefit those who want to repeal the law, accusations that Obamacare hurts
the workforce are contradictive to the data
shown in the report.
The CBO data has no relation to the assumption that Obamacare will lead employers to
eliminate jobs or reduce work hours. In fact,
this same report says that there is “no evidence
that part-time jobs have increased as a result
of Obamacare.” This is something that Republicans should take note of, as it is an accusation
that they love to use against the law that is
giving millions of Latinos health coverage.
What the report does show is an immediate
effect that Obamacare will “lead some employers to hire more workers or increase the hours
of the workers they already have” during the
2014 to 2016 work period.
In the long term, the CBO shows that as a
result of this law, people now have more con-
trol over their own lives, allowing them to retire with more flexibility; since many individuals will not stay in their jobs simply to provide
health insurance for their families.
Furthermore, the CBO confirms that the analysis on the implications of Obamacare’s labor force
is incomplete; it does not take into account the
positive impact it has had on the cost of health
care. Thanks to Obamacare, experts estimate that
the slowing costs of the health care system will
cause the economy to add an average of 250,000
to 400,000 additional jobs per year by the end of
this decade.
In addition, the CBO does not take into account
the positive impact it has had on productivity;
thanks to Obamacare, the health of millions of
workers across the country has improved tremendously.
Finally, this report confirms that Obamacare will
reduce the national deficit. Since the enactment
of the law, the CBO continues to project that
Obamacare will reduce the deficit by more than
$1 trillion in the next two decades.
The truth is that Republicans misinterpreted the
numbers and completely disregarded the real story
that the CBO tries to tell. And if they thought the
American public was not going to realize their
true intentions, they were extremely mistaken.

It Right

FAMILY FEATURES
L
ooking to save money and time when it comes
to your taxes? There’s a simple way to do your
federal taxes, and it’s all for free. The program,
called “Free File,” does the hard work for you,
either through brand-name software or online fillable
forms. And, it’s available only at IRS.gov.
A Simple Way to Cut Fees
Free File is offered through the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) by 14 of the nation’s leading tax software manufacturers. Nearly 40 million people have used this helpful
program, and using the most conservative estimate,
they’ve saved $1.2 billion in fees.
It’s available 24/7, giving you the freedom to decide
when and how to do your federal taxes. Plus, the software
is user-friendly, offering a familiar Q&A format and the
freedom to complete your return at your own pace.
How to Sign Up
Here’s how you start:
Go to www.irs.gov/freefile.
If your income was $58,000 or less, select the
“Start Free File Now” button.
Each of the 14 participating companies has a
special offer.
Review the company offers or use the “help me
find Free File software” tool.
Select your tax software that matches your situation.
Leave IRS.gov and go to the company’s site to
begin your taxes.
If your income was more than $58,000, you can use
Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic version of IRS
Did you know?
Most refunds are issued in less than 21 days.
Combining e-file with direct deposit is still the
fastest way to get your refund.
Use “Where’s My Refund?” to get personalized
refund information.
You can also use the IRS app, IRS2Go, to check
the status of your refund.
Can’t meet the April 15 deadline? Use Free File
for a free extension; then use Free File to do
your taxes by October 15.
paper forms. Just select the “Free File Fillable Forms”
button at www.irs.gov/freefile. This version is best if
you are comfortable preparing your own tax return with
more limited help.
Remember to always use e-file to file your returns
electronically. You’ll get your refund faster when you
combine e-file and direct deposit.
Use Self-Help Options on IRS.gov
Free File is just one of many self-help options available
at IRS.gov. Wondering about your refund? Just select
“Where’s My Refund” to track the status of your refund
and get a personalized refund date.
Have a tax law question? Visit the Interactive Tax
Assistant, IRS Tax Map or Tax Trails. You also can find
payment options and request an installment payment
agreement online. You can even order a summary of a
previous tax return. When you have questions, make
IRS.gov your first stop.
Materials Needed to Get Started
Keep this as a checklist of the items you will need to
file your return. The IRS recommends keeping all taxrelated documents for three years, in case of an audit.
Tracking income-related documents can help you take
full advantage of deductions available to you.
A copy of last year’s tax return
Valid social security numbers for yourself, spouse
and children
All income statements, i.e. W-2 forms from all employers
Interest/dividend statements, i.e. 1099 forms
Form 1099-G showing any state refunds
Unemployment compensation amount
Social Security benefits
Expense receipts for deductions
Day care provider’s identifying number
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
There are 13,000 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA) sites nationwide that offer free help to
people earning $52,000 or less. Search “VITA” on
IRS.gov for a nearby site.
Tax Counseling for the Elderly, which is operated
by AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, offers free help all
with priority assistance to people who are age 60
and older. Find a Tax-Aide site at AARP.org or call
888-227-7660. Some VITA/TCE sites even offer
Free File.
No tax benefit offers a greater
lifeline to working families than
the Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC). But putting this credit
to work can be complex. The
IRS has upgraded its EITC
Assistant on IRS.gov to make it
easier than ever to determine if
you are qualified and how much
you may receive.
Here are a few things to keep
in mind:
You must have a social
security number and have
earned an income.
The maximum credit for
2013 tax returns is $6,044 for
workers with three or more
qualifying children.
Eligibility for the EITC is
determined based on a
number of factors including
earnings, filing status and
eligible children. Workers
without qualifying children
may be eligible for a smaller
credit amount.
You can learn more at
www.irs.gov/eitc and use the
EITC Assistant or ask your tax
professional. If you are eligible
for EITC, you also qualify for
free tax help at VITA sites
nationwide or for Free File at
www.irs.gov/freefile.
