PHOENIX — One quiet morning
nearly 5 years ago, Manuel de Jesús
Ortega Melendres, a 53-year-old
Mexican tourist, was a passenger in
a van that was pulled over – allegedly for speeding — by a Maricopa
County sheriff’s deputy. Ortega
Melendres, who has dark skin, and
his co-passengers, were asked to
show their legal documents. Ortega
Melendres did so, but was nevertheless arrested and detained for four
hours. The driver of the van was
never officially cited for speeding.
Ortega Melendres’ name now appears as a plaintiff on a class-action
lawsuit that accuses the Maricopa
County sheriff’s office of racial profiling during its immigration enforcement operations. Arguments for the
lawsuit – it was filed four years ago
– are scheduled to be heard in court
on July 19th.
The trial represents a pivotal moment for civil rights organizations and
pro-immigrant groups in the state that
have spent the last five years denouncing Maricopa County Sheriff
Joe Arpaio’s high-profile crusade
against undocumented immigrants.
“At trial, we will prove that Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s fixation on immigration enforcement and his equating of
‘illegal’ with Latino has resulted in
systematic civil rights violations,” said
Cecilia Wang, director of the ACLU
Immigrant Rights Project, which is
representing the plaintiffs, along with
the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
(MALDEF).
Wang said the sheriff’s office set
up “drag nets” to capture undocumented immigrants during immigration sweeps and “in the process…
violated the rights of countless Latino
residents of the county.”
Plaintiff attorneys will have to persuade a federal judge, Murray Snow,
that civil rights violations committed
by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s
Office were systemic – meaning,
they were the result of orders being
given from the top of the department.
In an attempt to show that “discriminatory intent” was at the heart
of the immigration sweeps, civil rights
attorneys have presented as evidence
a number of personal letters received
by Arpaio from his constituents that
called for racial profiling. Arpaio kept
a file of the letters, sent thank-you
notes to the writers, and circulated
them among his staff.
“It is not merely the receipt of
these types of requests, it is the fact
that the sheriff is notating on them
that action should be taken, and then
giving them to the people [on his] team
who are taking this sort of law-enforcement action,” said Andrew C.
Byrnes, of the law firm Covington &
Burling, which is also representing the
plaintiffs.
“In many cases, the law-enforcement actions and the sweeps [took]
place shortly after [Sheriff Arpaio
passed] along this direction to his
team,” he added.
One constituent wrote in a letter
that “dark skin” is “the look of the
Mexican illegals that are here illegally” and urged Arpaio to “come
over to 29th Street/Greenway Parkway area and round them all up.” The
area was subsequently targeted several times for immigration sweeps,
according to court filings in the case.
A letter, dated May 24, 2008, requested that Arpaio conduct a sweep
in the city of Mesa. Arpaio wrote a
note on it saying, “I will be going into
Mesa,” and sent a copy to Chief
Brian Sands, in charge of crime suppression operations. Two sweeps
were conducted in that city shortly
afterwards.

The heart and soul of the Hispanic entrepreneurial spirit
State Assemblymember Ben Hueso reaffirms his support for small businesses during Canemexa’s breakfast.
By Pablo Jaime Sáinz
A young organization that promotes the success and development
of Mexican-American businesses in
the South Bay hosted its first recognition breakfast.
The Cámara de Negocios MéxicoAmericana (CANEMEXA) recognition breakfast, which was held on July
18 at La Finca de Adobe restaurant
in Bonita, served as a tribute to the
Mexican-American entrepreneurial
success in San Diego’s South Bay
region.
In attendance at the breakfast
were many small-business owners,
representatives of international corporations, as well as current and
former elected-officials.
“We want to recognize the success
of Mexican-American businesses in
the South Bay,” said Canemexa
founder Hector Molina.
Canemexa was founded in July,
2011, with the purpose of promoting
and supporting the development of its
members’ businesses. The organization will celebrate its first anniversary
in August with an event at La Finca
de Adobe, Molina said.
In less than a year, the non-profit
organization has more than 100 paidmembers, said Honorary President of
the Advisory Board Jesse Navarro,
who is also a public affairs officer with
the office of San Diego County District Attorney.
“What Canemexa has accomplished in less than a year is impressive,” he said. “It is proof of real
teamwork. It’s had an incredible outcome. I know many chambers of
commerce throughout the county, and
it is really outstanding the work that
Canemexa has done in so little time.”
Among the elected officials
present at the breakfast was State
Assembly member Ben Hueso, who
said that Canemexa members represent “the heart and soul of the Hispanic entrepreneurial spirit.”
Hueso said that, as a former smallbusiness owner, in Sacramento he’s
focused in supporting bills that promote and improve small-businesses.
“The American Dream is now a
given,” he said. “We have to fight for

Una organización joven que promueve el éxito y el desarrollo de las
empresas méxico-americanas en el
sur de San Diego tuvo su primer
desayuno de reconocimientos.
El desayuno de la Cámara de
Negocios México-Americana (CANEMEXA), que fue el 18 de julio en el
restaurant La Finca de Adobe en
Bonita, sirvió como un homenaje al
éxito empresarial méxico-americano
en la región del sur de San Diego.
En asistencia en el desayuno
estuvieron muchos dueños de pequeñas empresas, representantes de
(see Arpaio, page 2) corporaciones internacionales, así
como políticos locales.
“Queremos reconocer el éxito de
las empresas méxico-americanas en
el sur de San Diego”, dijo el fundador
de Canemexa, Héctor Molina.
Canemexa fue fundado en julio del
2011, con el propósito de promover y
apoyar el desarrollo de las empresas
de los miembros. La organización
celebrará su primer aniversario en
agosto con un evento en La Finca de
Adobe, dijo Molina.
En menos de un año, la organización sin fines de lucro tiene más
de 100 miembros, dijo el presidente
honorario de la mesa directiva Jesse
Navarro, quien también es un vocero
de la fiscalía del Condado de San
Diego.
“Es impresionante lo que Canemexa ha logrado en menos de un
año”, dijo. “Es prueba de verdadero
trabajo en equipo. Ha tenido resultados increíbles. Conozco muchas
cámaras de comercio por todo el
condado y es sorprendente ver la labor que Canemexa ha logrado en tan
poco tiempo”.
Entre los políticos que asistieron al
desayuno estaba el Asambleísta
Estatal Ben Hueso, quien dijo que los
miembros de Canemexa representan
“el corazón y el alma del espíritu
empresarial hispano”.
Hueso dijo que, siendo un exempresario, en Sacramento está en-
focado en apoyar propuestas que
promueven y mejoren las pequeñas
empresas.
“El Sueño Americano no es gratis”,
dijo. “Tenemos que luchar por él. Los
dueños de pequeñas empresas saben
esto. Mi meta como asambleísta
estatal es traer dinero a áreas donde
usualmente no llega. La idea es traer
más dinero a la gente que lo necesita
más”.
Como parte de su misión, durante
el desayuno Canemexa firmó un
acuerdo con el Centro de Desarrollo
de Comercio Internacional de Southwestern College.

El Voto
Caro
Además de caro, el voto
más caro del mundo resultó,
según algunas opiniones, un
total fracaso. Solamente 40
mil 714 mexicanos que viven
fuera de su país pudieron
superar los obstáculos
impuestos por el Código
Federal de Instituciones y
Procesos Electorales, el
COFIPE, y emitieron su voto
“en tiempo y forma”.
Salió caro, según las cifras
del Instituto Federal
Electoral, el IFE, alrededor
de 505 dólares por voto
emitido, incluyendo desde el
pre-registro por Internet
porque el Padrón del Exterior
solamente se abre por 90 días
cada seis años, y hasta doble
costo postal porque el correo
gringo devolvió en 5 días,
según su norma, los paquetes
que los votantes no
recogieron a tiempo. De
hecho, solamente votó un
68.87 por ciento de los
registrados, y 18,378 votos no
llegaron a tiempo para
contarse.
Fue, dice el flamante
senador por Jalisco Arturo
Zamora, “el voto más caro
del mundo”, un “voto
fracasado”, y se pronuncia
por “una reforma electoral
para facilitar el voto de los
mexicanos en el extranjero,
eliminar la burocracia,
impulsar que líderes de
paisanos tengan mayor
representación en el
Congreso y establecer
candados para evitar el uso
electorero de la red
consular”. Su malestar es
doble, porque según los
resultados de la votación
desde el exterior, el PRI
quedó en un irrisorio tercer
lugar.
No extraña el argumento
de que la red consular
mexicana trabajó en
beneficio del PAN porque,
extrañamente, de los 40,714
votos “de afuera”, Josefina
Vázquez Mota se llevó 17 mil
y pico, un 42.16 por ciento,
resultado que contradice los
resultados “oficiales” del voto
en México. Pero Andrés
Manuel López Obrador se
llevó 15,878 votos,
prácticamente el 39 por
ciento, y ahí si que no se
puede acusar a los
consulados.
Enrique Peña Nieto
solamente sacó 6,359 votos,
poquito más del 15 por ciento,
y Gabriel Quadri no alcanzó
ni mil votos.

Outlook Dim for Mexican Workers
By Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
In a speech earlier this
week praising Nissan’s decision to open a second plant in
Aguascalientes, Mexican President Felipe Calderon responded to critics who’ve
flailed away at the soon-to-be
ex-chief executive for falling
far short of being the “jobs
president” he promised to be
during the 2006 election campaign.
Saying that two million formal jobs had been created since
2007, Calderon added that the
job record was the “second
highest period of formal employment generation” in his
country’s recorded history. Further, the Mexican leader argued
that had it not been for the inconvenient problem of the post2008 economic crisis, Mexico
would have undergone its biggest employment surge ever.
Although recent job gains
have been registered in sectors
like the auto industry, some observers and analysts are far
less impressed by the employment trends.
In its 2012 Employment
Outlook, the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) noted
that while Mexico’s official unemployment rate of 5.1 percent
in the first quarter of 2012 was
lower than the 5.8 percent registered at the height of the crisis in the third quarter of 2009,
the latest jobless numbers are
still more than one percent
higher than they were prior to
the crisis.
Importantly, young people
experience unemployment at
about twice the rate of the
overall average, according to
the OECD. Other issues, including the “high incidence of
informal employment,” remain
troubling concerns, the international organization contended.
Numbering in the millions,
the legions of informal workers who sell everything from
gum to flowers to maps are not
enrolled in the social security
system, don´t pay taxes and
don’t enjoy benefits like sick
days. Across Mexico, informal workers cram the sidewalks, jam the beaches and
ham it up on the buses and
metro systems. All to eat another day.
Receiving some play in the
Mexican media, the OECD
report also reveals that the average amount of time Mexican
workers annually spent on
their job grew from 2,242 hours
in 2010 to 2,250 in 2011.
As for income, real salary
growth in Mexico came in at
0.8 percent last year, lagging
behind Chile at 2.5 percent and
Brazil at 1.4 percent, the
OECD reported.
In an interview with Frontera NorteSur, representatives
of a leading Mexican labor advocacy organization also questioned the direction of employment trends and spotlighted the
continued lack of basic rights
possessed by many-if not
most-workers. Felipe Burgueno, Guadalajara staff member
of Cereal, said the increased
use of outsourcing and temp
workers characterizes many
new jobs. “There is a lot of unemployment and more and
more abuses like temporary
contracts, as employers take
advantage of the situation,”

Burgueno said.
According to the labor
rights activist, a production
model based on precarious
employment circumstances,
low wages and the absence of
free union association is unlikely to change with the coming political transition. “People
still don’t realize the gravity of
these problems,” Burgueno
added.
As an illustration of the
problems confronting Mexican
labor, Cereal staffer Sagrario
Gutierrez spoke at some length
about the electronics giant
Foxconn and its two industrial
sites in and around Ciudad
Juarez, including the huge
complex at San-Jeronimo/
Santa Teresa on the border of
Chihuahua and New Mexico.
On a recent visit to the border city, Gutierrez heard Foxconn workers complain
about robberies on transport
buses, successive temporary
contracts, lack of union representation and retaliation for
organizing or discussing better
job assignments and pay.
“When (Foxconn) finds out
that workers are organizing
around any problem they have,
they disperse them,” Gutierrez
said. “They fire them or send
them to different work areas
and shifts.”
A member of the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct,
Foxconn has written policies
against retaliation and in support of free association.
According to the Taiwanbased firm’s website, audits
are performed to ensure compliance with company and industry standards.
Foxconn pledges to “uphold
the human rights of workers,
Arpaio anti-immigrant
crusade could be over
(con’t from page 1)
Another letter, dated July
25, 2008, invited Arpaio to conduct more raids in the area and
to specifically target day laborers. The letter reads: “Because
of their demeanor, it is obvious
(how) to pick out the illegals
from the American citizens. I
strongly request that you return
to Mesa and help rid the city
of this irritating problem.”
ACLU attorneys will also
argue in the case that Arpaio
didn’t have specific policies in
place to prevent racial profiling by his deputies.
“[The sherrif’s office] has
failed to put in place routine
mechanisms that any reasonable law-enforcement agency
of the United States would
have in place to detect, prevent
and stop racial profiling,” said
Wang.
ACLU and MALDEF are
not seeking monetary relief but
wish to stop the alleged practice of racial profiling by the
Maricopa County Sheriff’s
Office. Some of the changes
they may ask for include the
development of a policy to ban
the practice of racial profiling,
active monitoring of deputy
conduct AND the keeping of
records of traffic stops.
Previous rulings by Judge
Snow would indicate he could
rule favorably for the plaintiffs.
On December 2011, Snow
barred Arpaio’s deputies from
detaining people based solely
on the suspicion that they are
in the country illegally.
The outcome of the trial
stands to also cast a light on
another pending lawsuit filed
by the Department of Justice
(DOJ), which alleges widespread civil rights violations
against Latinos. The DOJ lawsuit is broader in scope than the
racial profiling lawsuit, because it includes the treatment
of Latinos within Maricopa
County jails, as well as allegations of political retaliation
against critics Sheriff Arpaio.
The ruling on the racial discrimination lawsuit may also
impact Arpaio’s ability to enforce several state laws that
and to treat them with dignity
and respect as understood by
the international community
and appropriate laws and regulations…”
But in Ciudad Juarez, labor
rights are also compromised by
the so-called narco war and the
overall climate of violence that
makes workers afraid to take
a stand, Gutierrez said, adding
that the city’s non-governmental organizations have largely
withdrawn from direct organizing of factory workers because
of threats and real fears of violence.
Gutierrez said Foxconn
workers in Ciudad Juarez start
making 78 pesos each day, or
approximately six bucks, and
then advance to 98 pesos after
three months on the job. The
pay is increased to 105-110 pesos after six months, she said.
In comparison, electronic workers in Guadalajara average 116
pesos a day, even though the
cost of living is higher in Ciudad
Juarez, according to Cereal
staff members.
The rising cost of living is a
critical issue for Mexican
workers. Cited in the daily La
Jornada, the most recent study
from the National Autonomous
University of Mexico’s Center
for Multidisciplinary Analysis
reported that the number of
low-income workers increased
during the last two years, with
about half the country’s labor
force, or about 21,300,000
workers, now earning in the
neighborhood of ten dollars a
day.
Many working families
have “stopped buying with the
same frequency and quantity
various products, including
meat, milk, eggs and other ba-
sics,” the authors of the report
wrote.
Languishing in the Mexican
Congress, a controversial labor
reform is likely to be among the
first matters tackled by the new
crop of legislators when they
convene in September, according to Cereal’s Felipe Burgueno.
For the labor advocacy
group, the right of free union
representation is unmet in
Mexico.
An ominous sign, Burgueno
said, was the recent closure of
the independent Worker Action
Center in Puebla state, after
staff suffered death threats and
kidnapping.
Burgueno predicted the political transition will likely reinforce the power of the CTM
and other unions affiliated with
the PRI, reaffirming the old
corporatist model in which the
demands of workers are subservient to the government
agenda. “They will ratify their
priorities,” Burgueno said,
“and their control over workers’ unions.”
For its part, the OECD
urged Mexico to enact “measures to promote access to
more jobs and better conditions
for under-represented groups,”
as well as to increase incentives for enrolling more workers in the social security system. Additionally, the OECD
called for strengthening the enforcement capacities of labor
inspectors and tax collectors.
target undocumented immigrants, most notably SB 1070,
Arizona’s “show me your papers” law that was signed on
April 23, 2010.
“There are some overlapping legal [questions], about
whether local law-enforcement agencies have the power
to detain people based solely
on suspicion that they’re undocumented immigrants,” said
Wang. But, he added, the recent Supreme Court ruling that
three provisions of SB 1070
are unconstitutional “makes it
clear the answer is no.”
Nevertheless, the one piece
of SB 1070 that was upheld by
the Supreme Court – the portion that allows law enforcement to ask people to show legal documents — could still
take effect as soon as July
20th. Independent of the current lawsuit, civil rights organizations are considering filing
a request for an injunction on
what some call the “papers
please” aspect of SB 1070.
Arpaio started what he
called his “crime suppression
operations” in 2007, shortly
after signing an agreement with
the federal government –
known as 287(g) — that gave
his sheriff’s deputies the legal
authority to enforce federal
immigration laws.
The immigration raids and
sweeps that followed created
an uproar, coming mostly from
Latinos who felt they were being targeted because of the
color of their skin. That in turn
sparked the DOJ civil rights investigation, the ACLU / MALDEF lawsuit, and the revocation of the 287(g) agreement
with the federal government.
In response, conservative
politicians in Arizona, with
Arpaio’s support, crafted the
Support our Law-Enforcement
and Secure Neighborhoods
Act, aka SB 1070.
Arpaio is expected to testify during the trial that is
scheduled to last until August
2nd. This is also an election
year for the 80-year-old sheriff, who plans to run for reelection for the sixth time.
The sheriff’s office didn’t
respond to a request for comment on the trial. Tim Casey,
the defense attorney in the
case, also declined to comment.
Defense attorneys have presented as evidence a report by
the Center for Immigration
Studies, an anti-immigration
think tank, that analyzed the
overall number of arrests of
Latinos by Arpaio’s office during traffic stops — not specifically the crime suppression
sweeps – and which found
there had been an increase in
traffic stops across all racial
groups between 2005 to 2009,
a finding that defense attorneys
plan to use to show that Latinos
were not targeted.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs
claim that Latinos have been
stopped at higher rates than
other ethnic groups during
sheriff’s deputy patrols.
According to an analysis
conducted by Ralph B. Taylor,
a criminal justice expert and
professor at Temple University
in Pennsylvania, deputies were
more likely to stop Latinos during immigration sweeps than
during their regular patrols.
Latinos were nearly 30 percent more likely to be stopped
during the sweeps, according
to his analysis. The report also
indicates that Hispanics were
up to 54 percent more likely to
be stopped by deputies involved in a sweep than by a
deputy on a regular patrol the
same day.

POINT OF VIEW:
Immigration Issues Dominate Media

Focus on Latinos
By Andy Porres
By Jean Marie Brown
MAYNARD INSTITUTE
Issues related to immigration have dominated recent
mainstream media coverage
about Latinos as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the controversial Arizona immigration
law, and President Barack
Obama altered deportation status for people who are under
30 and were brought to the
country illegally as children.
But the coverage also underscored a major flaw in the
media’s treatment of Latinos:
rarely are they mentioned in
reporting on issues other than
immigration.
The importance of the immigration issue cannot be denied. In the past 40 years, an
estimated 12 million people entered the United States from
Mexico, and slightly more than
half did so legally, according to
the Pew Hispanic Center’s
updated report in May.
The inclination to focus on
immigration is understandable,
says Aly Colón, a diversity consultant who has worked with
the American Society of News
Editors, Public Radio International and the Poynter Institute.
“It’s obvious for the media
that this is a natural way to go,”
says Colón, noting that many
Americans, including those in
the media, don’t have a very
informed idea of Latinos’ role
in American society. Seeing
very natural issues that affect
everybody isn’t always easy,
he says.
“The media tends to objectify groups outside of the mainstream,” Colón says. “Until
you know people by their
names, they’re not people.”
Latino activists believe that
the media must expand its coverage beyond immigration issues, particularly this year as
the Hispanic vote is poised to
play a major role in determining the winner of the presidential election in November.
One thing important to remember is that this may be the
first time that Latinos have
been considered a political
force in the general election,
says Antonio Gonzalez, president of the William C.
Velasquez Institute, a nonpartisan, public policy research
institute.
Gonzalez says past coverage that included Latinos didn’t
extend beyond the Democratic
primary contest between thenSen. Obama and Hillary
Clinton. “It’s good that we’re
getting attention, but what has
essentially come out is if you
want the Latino vote, you’ve
got to be good on immigration,”
Gonzalez says. “It’s oversimplified. There are other issues
that are really important.”
Like Colón, he says the emphasis on immigration is understandable and describes immigration as a metaphor for
Latino inclusion in America.
The attention given immigration is natural because it’s the
issue that people feel most passionately about, he says. However, emphasis on it, almost to
exclusion of anything else,
gives a “skewed interpretation” of issues weighed by
Latino voters.
Gonzalez notes that little attention is paid to home foreclosures, U.S.-Latin American
relations or unemployment.
Louis Desipio, an associate
professor of political science at
the University of California,
Irvine, suggests looking at
Spanish-language publications
and broadcasts to find broader
coverage of Latinos.
He, too, notes that U.S.Latin American relations are
important but often overlooked
in coverage dominated by nations with which the United
States is in conflict or that are
in crisis. Rather than identify
themselves as Latino or Hispanic, Desipio says, many
people identify instead with
their country of origin and its
relationship with the United
States.
Focusing almost solely on
one aspect of immigration provides a stilted and distorted
viewpoint of the largest and
fastest growing group of

Colón says. “It’s not something
bad in and of itself. It’s just inauthentic.”
Colón and Desipio cite
NPR’s recent coverage of
Latinos as a good example of
coverage showing that they are
like anyone else.
Polling data and recent studies make clear that education,
poverty and the economy are
pressing issues with a voting
bloc that is far from a monolith. These resources that can
help to broaden coverage:
Education and Childhood
U.S. Department of Education projections show that
through 2020, Hispanic children will compose the nation’s
fastest-growing student population. However, the educational achievement gap between whites and Hispanics,
seen through standardized testing, shows no sign of lessening.
Department data show that
black and Hispanic students
are disciplined at a disproportionately higher rate than are
their peers. In May, a Beck
Research survey of Hispanics
living in five battleground states
found that education was a
leading issue. According to the
survey, 58 percent of Latinos
in those states said they
wanted to hear more about
education from the presidential candidates. The economy,
jobs and deficit reduction were
also major issues.
The Economy
The U.S. Census Bureau’s
supplement population survey
chronicles effects of the recession on families, and Pew has
analyzed data focusing on results for Hispanics. It shows
that more Hispanic children
live in poverty than those of
any other racial or ethnic group.
The Congressional Hispanic
Caucus Institute estimates that
Hispanics have lost 60 percent
of their wealth since 2008, and
its report details how the housing market collapse and subsequent foreclosures have exacerbated the homeownership

whites. The May unemploy-

once elections are over.
“I think it has become a kind
of ‘national pastime,’” said
Eddie Salas, a Sacramento
civil rights activist and political
junkie. “We love to dwell on
election stories even long after the elections are history.”
Regardless of how it emerged, Mexico has new leadership
in the likes of Enrique Peña
Nieto and his Primera Dama,
a telenovela favorite, Angelica
Rivera. This coming November it’s America’s turn for its
election drama. It’ll time for us
to endure the mudslinging and
outrageous charges from both
main parties. And maybe even
some vote-buying stories.
Back in the day, in my native South Texas, beer and tamales were the preferred
choice of “rewarding” voters
that particular candidates
sought out. Some politicos
staged Texas-size fish-frys in
public parks and still others visited barrio cantinas right before
election day. But it was during
the time that Texans and other
voters in the South, had to pay
a “poll-tax” for the right to express their political choices,
that vote-buying peaked.
“They used to roundup Mexi-
cans and Mexican-Americans,
legal or not, and persuade them
to vote a particular way,” my
late Dad, José would tell me.
“On the eve of election night,
they’d wine and dine the men
then be given instructions as
what to do the following morning, most of the time assuring
their benefactors of a victory.”
Whereas, the gift-card
scheme in Mexico alleges gift
cards given to would-be voters, worth from $300 to $700
pesos (roughly from $22 to $52
USD) and supposedly used to
buy groceries and home appliances, the Texas version gave
the prospective voter mostly a
hangover, but a full stomach.
“It was the old Lone Star
and tamale trick,” my Dad
would laughingly tell me.” In
other towns it may have been
Pearl Beer, but it was basically
the same idea and it worked
every time.”
After making me laugh
along with him, my Dad would
then become very serious,
even to the point of damning
the idea of his fellow Tejanos
allowing themselves to be
bought with beer and food.

Hispana Durante la ConferenciaAIDS 2012
Entre el 22 y el 27 de Julio
el mundo se enfocará en la
capital de los Estados Unidos
para discutir los últimos avances y para desarrollar nuevas
estrategias que nos permitan
mejorar el esfuerzo colectivo
que la humanidad realiza para
detener la pandemia del VIH/
SIDA.
La Conferencia Internacional sobre el SIDA, AIDS
2012 –por sus siglas en inglésretorna a los Estados Unidos y
numerosas organizaciones
hispanas están trabajando para
abordar durante la conferencia
aquellos temas claves en torno
al VIH/SIDA que impactan de
manera particular a nuestra
comunidad, esto es posible
gracias a la dedicación que ha
puesto la Red Nacional Latina
de Acción contra el SIDA,
NLAAN, por sus siglas en
inglés.
Siendo el grupo étnico más
joven y de mayor crecimiento
en los EE.UU., es imperativo
para nuestras comunidades que
esos temas sean abordados
durante la conferencia dados
los alarmantes índices que
muestran el avance de la
enfermedad entre nuestra
población. Esos datos han sido
bien documentados y muestran
por ejemplo, como los casos de
infectados de VIH entre hombres latinos que tienen relaciones sexuales con otros
hombres montan por el 20% de
todos los nuevos casos de
infección.
Igualmente alarmante es el
hecho de que el número de
mujeres latinas infectadas del
VIH sea ya cuatro veces
mayor que el de sus congéneres caucásicas.
Si le agregamos a estas
cifras el hecho de que en 2010;
1 de cada 3 latinos no tenía
seguro de salud, podemos
entender que la conferencia es
una oportunidad única para re
energizar nuestra respuesta
ante la epidemia y concentrarnos en aquellas poblaciones
que han sido particularmente
afectadas por la misma, entre
ellos, los hispanos.
A la luz de las mencionadas
cifras y frente a semejantes
retos en el tema del seguro de
salud, pareciese obvio que los
latinos nos informáramos de
todo lo concerniente al VIH/
SIDA. Pues, ese no es el caso:
entre el 2004 y el 2012, el
número de hispanos que al ser
cuestionados afirmaron haber
leído algo acerca del SIDA
cayo del 74% al 43%; según
una encuesta de la Fundación
Kaiser.
En momentos en los que
podemos efectivamente revertir la marea de la epidemia,
estas cifras son, sencillamente,
inaceptables. La Conferencia
Internacional sobre el SIDA
tiene la obligación de impactar,
de manera más duradera y
definitiva, a la población latina
e hispana y a todas aquellas
otras que han sido afectadas
por el VIH/SIDA en los Estados Unidos.

Roy P. Benavidez: Warrior
By Roy Cook
Tango Mike Mike is the
written story by Roy P.
Benavidez and John R. Craig.
This is the story of Green Beret Roy P. Benavidez and his
heroic action in Vietnam that
earned him the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
He is an American Indian
Warrior of Yaqui and Hispanic
heritage. His mother was
Teresa Perez, Yaqui. His father, Salvador Benavidez Jr.,
was Hispanic. Roy Benavidez
circumstances of life left him
as an orphan at 10 years of
age. He then fought his way
out of poverty and bigotry to
serve with the U.S. Army’s
elite—the Airborne paratroopers and the Special Forces
Green Berets.
He was seriously wounded
in Vietnam on his first tour and
he was told he would never
walk again. Benavidez not only
conquered his wounds and disability but demanded to return
to combat. His story is truly
amazing and is a tribute to all
the Vietnam Vets whose stories haven’t been told. Tango

On his second tour, when
twelve of his comrades on a
secret CIA mission in Cambodia were surrounded by hundreds of North Vietnamese
regulars, Benavidez volunteered to rescue them. Despite
severe injuries suffered in
hand-to-hand combat, Benavidez personally saved eight
men. His actions ensured his

He added that it is very different to be a small-business
owner to being part of a large
corporation.
“You need a different set of
support to run a small-business,” Hueso said. “Canemexa
is part of that support.”
Among the Canemexa goals
is to improve relationships with
businesses in Mexico, something that Hueso said is very
important for California businesses.

According to its founders,
“Canemexa was founded by
like-minded business entrepreneurs to assist, inform, mentor
and advocate for their interests
and needs and to continue their
development by providing a
forum for social, education, information, and business referrals in their primary language,
Spanish.”
As part of that mission, during the breakfast the organization signed a strategic alliance
memorandum with the Center
for International Trade Development at Southwestern Col-
lege.
Among the advisory board
are Dee Dee Castro, community relations manager for
Viejas Tribal Council, Armando
Garcia, co-owner of a local 711, Edward Lopez, of Lopez

Molina said that Canemexa
caters to businesses who are
members of the organization,
and also to businesses owned
by Mexican-Americans.
“Canemexa believes that it

and $1.75 to register to vote a lot of money at the time, and
a big barrier to the working
classes and poor. Poll taxes
disproportionately affected
African Americans and Mexican Americans. The tax was
finally abolished for national
elections by the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
in 1964.
It is also worth noting that
iin Mexico, a country so poor,
with so much inequality, there
are forces that will try to take
advantage of the situation.
Just like they did in South
Texas, many years ago.

Junto a los artistas de Hollywood, nadie duda que los
jugadores de fútbol son las
estrellas de nuestros tiempos.
Ricos y famosos, ocupan las
portadas de las revistas más
importantes y participan en
eventos de caridad. Para
muchos, luego de Lionel Messi,
es Javier Hernández —mejor
conocido como El Chicharito— quien integra ese Olimpo
de prestigio donde viven Pelé,
Di Stéfano, Cruyff y Maradona.
Y como ellos, ahora tiene un
libro sobre su vida.
Chicharito: La historia de
Javier Hernández (publicado
por Vintage Español) es la
biografía no autorizada del
joven mexicano que juega de
delantero en el Manchester
United de la Liga Premier de
Inglaterra. Su autor, el periodista Charles Samuel, quien
con la obsesión del buen
investigador rastrea las huellas
de Chicharito por la ciudad de
Guadalajara—allí nació un 1ro
de junio de 1988—, las ligas
menores de fútbol donde ya a
los 9 años mostraba sus dotes
de jugador de estilo elegante,
su destacado papel en el Club
Deportivo Guadalajara, como
su incorporación a la selección
mexicana y su vida actual en
Europa.
Samuel pudo entrevistar a
Chicharito, a sus familiares, a
muchos de sus compañeros en
el Manchester United y acceder a fotos personales del
jugador mexicano. Así, el lector se entera de que el joven
heredó el apodo por el cual los
fanáticos en el mundo lo
conocen de su padre, Javier
Hernández Gutiérrez, a quien
le decían “El Chicharo” por su
baja estatura y sus hermosos
ojos verdes, rasgos que El
Chicharito también posee. O
que a diferencia de otras
estrellas del deporte, Chicharito
es la tercera generación de
futbolistas: su padre participó
en la Copa Mundial de 1986 y
su abuelo materno es Tomás
Balcázar, figura mítica del
Guadalajara.
A propósito de este tema, el
jugador comenta en el libro:
“Ellos me ayudan mucho en la
cancha, puesto que también
jugaban como delanteros, pero
me han ayudado mucho más
fuera de ella. Eso es lo más
difícil para los jugadores
jóvenes; hay mucho dinero de
por medio y varias cosas
pueden desequilibrarte. No soy
mejor que los demás, a pesar
de mis goles, mi éxito y mis
medallas”.
El delantero, que al ser
vendido por más de 9 millones
de dólares al Manchester
United se convirtió en uno de
los futbolístas más caros del
deporte mexicano, y que en
mayo de este año fue nombrado embajador de la
UNICEF, todavía se sorprende
de su gloria deportiva.
Por sobre todos los datos,
las declaraciones de familiares
y amigos, hay algo que se suele
olvidar y es probablemente lo
más destacado del libro y de
otras biografías de ídolos del
deporte, y es que en la lectura
de sus vidas (muchas de ellas
difíciles o no tan idílicas como
pensaría) hay un mensaje
inspirador que puede cambiar
la vida de muchas personas,
en especial la de los adolescentes.
Charles Samuel es un periodista británico que ha escrito
ampliamente sobre el Manchester United en revistas de
fanáticos de la liga, periódicos
y sitios web por más de una
década.
Unbeaten Johan Perez to Defend World Title Against
Top Rated Contender Pablo Cesar Cano
Jorge Romero Battles Rudy Lopez in All-Mexican co-feature
Televisa’s “Sabados De Corona” will be the show to
watch on Saturday, July 21
when two of boxing’s top talents, Johan Perez and Pablo
Cesar Cano, square off for
Perez’ WBA Interim Super
Lightweight World Championship and the vacant WBC
Latino Super Lightweight title
at the Grand Oasis Cancun in
Cancun, Mexico.
FOX Deportes will air this
potential Fight of the Year candidate in the United States
along with a 10-round co-featured bout between lightweight
standouts Jorge Romero and
Rudy Lopez.
Perez vs. Cano, a 12 round
bout for Perez’s WBA Interim
Super Lightweight World
Championship and the vacant
WBC Latino Super Lightweight title. The Televisa
broadcast will air on Canal 5
and begins at 10:30 p.m. CT
and the FOX Deportes
broadcasts will air at 7:00
p.m. PT.
Caracas, Venezuela’s Johan
“El Terrible” Perez (15-0-1, 12
KO’s) has had highs and lows
over the course of his career
which began in 2005. In 2009
he returned from a two-year
layoff and began making moves
at 140 pounds. A WBA Fedebol
and Fedecentro Champion, the
29-year-old power puncher
made big statements in his last
two fights, knocking out Kenny
Galarza last October and then
stopping Fernando Castaneda
two months later for the WBA
interim crown. On July 21, he
makes his first title defense
against his sternest test to date
in Cano.
Pablo Cesar “El Demoledor” Cano (24-1-1, 19 KO’s)
may have made a name for
himself by stepping in on short
notice and giving a gutsy ef-
fort against the legendary Erik
Morales in their September
2011 title fight, but the 22-yearold from Tlanepantla is far from
content with that reputation. In
two fights in 2012, Cano
stopped then 16-1 prospect
Francisco Contreras in six
rounds and then knocked out
Colombian contender Fidel
Monterrosa in nine. Just like
that, he had fought his way
back to a world title shot, but
this time, he is even more hungry and determined to leave the
ring with the belt.
Cancun’s Rudy Lopez (255-2, 16 KO’s) began his professional career in 2000 as a
junior featherweight, but when
he moved up to 126 pounds, he
made his first mark in the sport
by first winning the WBC
Youth title and then the WBC
World Championship with a
seventh round technical knockout over Takashi Koshimoto in
July of 2006. Lopez would lose
his crown in his first defense
against In-Jin Chi five months
later, but there was still plenty
of fight left in him. After a two
year break from 2007 to 2009,
he returned and with an eightfight run that has seen him go
5-1-1 with 1 no contest as he
enters his fight against Romero.
Jorge Romero (22-5, 19
KO’s) of Culiacan has a simple
philosophy in the ring, but one
that has garnered him many
fans since his professional debut at only 15 years old in 2006:
he’s going to do everything in
his power to get you before
you get him. What has resulted
have been 15 knockout wins
in three rounds or less, including eight in the first round.

GUEST EDITORIAL:
Don’t sacrifice our environment on the
altar of immigration enforcement
By Scott Nicol
Republicans recently passed a wrongheaded bill in the House that could
threaten some of our most treasured national parks and wild lands.
Even though net migration from Mexico into the United States has dropped to
zero, with roughly the same number of
Mexican citizens heading south across
the border as north, Republicans are still
hyping the immigration issue.
The misnamed National Security and
Federal Lands Protection Act (HR 1505)
was recently approved by the U.S. House
of Representatives. Aimed at stopping
the nonexistent flood of immigrants, this
extreme bill waives 16 laws on all federal lands within 100 miles of both the
northern border and the southern border
for any activity the Border Patrol can
dream up.
If it is signed into law, bases could be
built, roads could be cut, and new border
walls could tear through national parks
from Glacier National Park to the Olympic National Park along the northern border and to Joshua Tree to Big Bend in
the south, as well as national forests,
wildlife refuges and wilderness areas,
with no concern for the environment.
The bill’s author, Rep. Rob Bishop, RUtah, seems to believe that the Border
Patrol is incapable of enforcing immigration laws without violating other crucial laws such as the Endangered Species Act and Safe Drinking Water Act.
“I want this resolved so border security has the precedence down there,”
Bishop has said. “If it means you lose a
couple of acres of wilderness, I don’t
think God will blame us at the judgment
bar for doing that.”
But this bill goes beyond eliminating
environmental protections “down there”
on the U.S.-Mexico border. It actually
threatens lands and lakes within 100
miles of the northern border as well.
Canoeing the Boundary Waters Wilderness and hiking in the White Mountain
National Forest could be a thing of the
past if the Border Patrol says it wants to
halt imaginary Canadian invaders.
The Border Patrol has not asked for
this extreme power, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently called HR 1505 “unnecessary” and
“bad policy.”
She’s right. Waiving laws will not make
our nation any safer, and despite its name,
Bishop’s bill isn’t really about national
security. Targeting environmental laws
simply fits the current Republican
mindset.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has
attacked environmental laws and the Environmental Protection Agency as “obstacles to economic growth” that must
be “removed,” and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says the
Clean Air Act should be rewritten to exclude the regulation of greenhouse gasses. The National Security and Federal
Lands Protection Act simply continues
the Republican assault on the environment, this time using border security,
instead of the economy, as a Trojan
horse.
Environmental laws exist for a reason.
They protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the very land that is the
United States. If ours is a nation of laws,
we must uphold all of our laws, not
cherry-pick a few and waive the rest.

Medicare Advantage necesita nuestro apoyo
No es muy seguido cuando la gente se
levanta para expresar su opinión sobre seguros
médicos. Sin embargo, con los murmullos en
Washington sobre lo declarado en el Congreso
de recortar cientos de billones de dólares del
plan médico, llegó el momento que hable por
mi mismo y miles de personas mayores en una
posición similar. Como otros 30.000 residentes
en nuestro distrito congressional, soy una
beneficiaria orgullosa de Medicare Advantage.
Veinticinco porciento de las personas de la
tercera edad nacionalmento también disfrutan
los beneficios de Medicare Advantage, la cual
provee ventajas de las cuales Medicare regular simplemente no puede. Hice una decisión
informada cuando elegí Medicare Advantage
porque me ofrece acceso a las classes Silver
Sneakers, las cuales me ayudan a mantenerme
activa y en forma, y al mismo tiempo cortar a
través de trámites burocráticos al no tener que
necesitar referencias para ver a especialistas.
Hasta cubre el costo de mis asistencia auricular. Al final de cuentas, no pudiera estar más
feliz que con Medicare Advantage.
Desafortunademente, demasiados de nuestros oficiales elegidos quieren balancear el
presupuesto a costa de los pobres, niños y los
mayores de edad. Si el financiamento de Medicare Advantage fuera disminuido, yo, junto con
el treinta tres porciento de las personas mayores
que ustedes conocen en el área sufrirán
negativamente. Sin el financiamento del
programa, yo veré mis primas disparar al cielo
o seré forzado de escoger un programa de
seguro médico menos adecuado. Afortunadamente, la gente de la tercera edad en
Chula Vista tienen a un amigo en el senador
estatal y candidato congressional Juan Vargas.
Yo llamé a la campaña de Vargas para que me
dijeran que opinión tiene el señor Vargas sobre
Medicare Advantage y me dijeron de manera
inequivoca que él quiere rescatar Medicare y
que él es un amigo de nuestra maravillosa
comunidad de ciudadanos de la tercera edad.
Gracias a oficiales elegidos honestos como
el señor Vargas que tiene la integridad de decir
lo que piensan y pensar lo que dicen. Tengo la
esperanza que mi seguro médico seguirá en
vigor, que me siga cubriendo y que me mantenga
saludable y seguro en mis años dorados.

Spanish Language Program needs your
support
The Parent Teachers Guild (PTG) of St
Charles Borromeo Academy in the Point Loma
area of San Diego is reaching out to leading
Hispanic owned businesses to support our Spanish language program.
Our academy offers education for Preschool
through the 8th grade, and our enrollment is
approximately 205 students. We offer the best
Catholic education possible, and this includes a
Spanish language program, currently sponsored
by the PTG. This program is only made possible through school fundraising, and will only
continue if we can find outside financial support. We are seeking your support in the hope
of continuing our Spanish Language education
program here at the academy.
The academy has recognized the need for a
strong, and enduring Spanish language program
due to our proximity to Mexico, as well as believing that this will be a way to expose our
students to the Hispanic culture.
In the long term, this fundamental approach
to a foreign language will prove to be advantageous to all of the participating students as they
enter high school and beyond to college and
the business environment.
Our annual cost for this program at the Academy is $25,000. To continue this program, funding must come from outside of tuition. The PTG
is fully committed to saving this program for
our students. We believe that you will find this
sponsorship rewarding, and certainly the students of St. Charles will be most grateful.
Should you wish to financially contribute to
our Spanish language program, we urge you to
contact the undersigned on 619-944-0733 or
via email: [email protected].

The Politics of Power and the
Precious Right to Vote
By Marian Wright Edelman
“The first fact that we need to understand is
that America has a longer history of disenfranchisement than it does of enfranchisement.
What do I mean by that? At the time of the
American Revolution when America was finding its footing, more than two-thirds of the
people who resided in the colonies couldn’t vote.
You had to be white, you had to be male, you
had to have property, and you had to be privileged. This history of America is a history of
political exclusion . . . It was because people
were trying to control power from the very
beginning.”
As students and parents at Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools sites across the
country study our nation’s history this summer,
they’ll learn about the long struggle for voting
rights in our nation and the importance of the
vote to a vibrant democracy. The college servant-leaders who are teaching the pre-K-12
children came to CDF Haley Farm near Knoxville, Tenn. in June for national training week.
One of their speakers was Dr. Hasan Kwame
Jeffries, Associate Professor at the Kirwan
Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at
the Ohio State University. He spoke to them
about the history of the Black struggle for the
vote and how the fight to control power by controlling the vote has a very long history in
America. That struggle is still very evident in
2012.
Dr. Jeffries described a common narrative
about African American history that woefully
simplifies most of the last 150 years. That narrative says all barriers to voting were settled
for good once President Johnson and Congress
“gave” Black citizens the Voting Rights Act in
1965 and now that we have President and First
Lady Obama and their two beautiful children
in the White House we’ve reached a wonderful “post-racial” moment in America. But as
Dr. Jeffries carefully explained, this oversimplification has always been a myth—or worse,
a lie—and to ignore current threats to voting
rights shows an ignorance of history and a willingness to jeopardize our democracy and future.
Dr. Jeffries explained to our college leaders
how Frederick Douglass and others insisted on
giving African Americans the vote along with
freedom when slavery was finally abolished,
but the moment of promise after the 15th
Amendment didn’t last long: “How is it possible that African Americans after slavery can
have the vote in hand and then 100 years later
from 1865 to 1965 are still fighting for the vote?
We have to understand that American history
is not linear or upward progress. American history is about peaks and valleys.” After the brief
peak of Black elected officials during Reconstruction right after the Civil War ended, the
next valley began when Mississippi called a
constitutional convention to look for ways
around the 15th Amendment. The result was
decades of new voting laws across the South
requiring literacy tests, “grandfather” clauses
that prohibited anyone from voting if their
grandfather hadn’t, and other “colorblind” policies whose main purpose was actually to keep
people of one color from participating in our
democracy.
But during the long years of Jim Crow, African Americans never lost sight of the prize:
“They redirected their energy, put it into community development, put it into land acquisition,
put it into education . . . [but] they never gave
up on the vote itself,” Dr. Jeffries said. By the
1960s the active fight for voting rights was back
on the front burner and once again people were
risking and giving their lives in order to be able
to vote. Fifty years ago, civil rights organizations, pushed by young Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) organizers,
came together to form COFO the Council of
Federated Organizations in order to work together more effectively to secure the vote in
Mississippi’s closed society. They challenged
the Jim Crow Mississippi Democratic Party by
later establishing the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party to challenge the segregationist regular democrats in Atlantic City, New
Jersey in 1964. They held mock votes and ran
candidates to demonstrate their desire for a
fair voice in the electoral process. Some lost
their lives and suffered brutal harassment and
jailings over the next several years including
Medgar Evers and three young civil rights
workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and
Michael Schwerner. Although the sacrifices of
the Civil Rights Movement are still fresh
wounds for all of us who lived through it, for
another generation of Americans they already
are becoming ancient history. It is important
that we teach our children and adults - our history so that we do not repeat it or take our
rights for granted by failing to exercise them.
Far too many Americans take the right to
vote so much for granted they don’t even
bother to exercise it. Dr. Jeffries warned that
the same old threats are once again reorganizing under different policies and new names right
now: “Those who were opposed to the empowerment of African Americans . . . never
gave up trying to rob African Americans and
people of color and poor people of the franchise . . . It’s a continuous line that has never
been disrupted, and today as we move into the
21st century, we have to locate and understand
that the efforts of voter suppression now are
an extension of that effort then.” He also
warned that today’s methods are more subtle
and precise:
“Before . . . the goal was to take the vote
away from all African Americans. But if you
understand how electoral politics works, particularly at the federal level but even at the
local level, you understand that you no longer
need to take the vote away from everybody . .
. All you have to do is take out a couple thousand. That’s what voter suppression is about,
and that’s what we’re dealing with today, these
efforts around voter identification, these efforts
around felony disenfranchisement . . . Just make
it hard enough for [a few or some people] not
to be able to go down on Election Day to vote,
and you can carry the day. And they propose
this legislation in state after state after state
under the guise of democracy. It’s the most
undemocratic thing that you could do. And this
isn’t about party affiliation. It’s Democrats one
day, it’s Republicans the next day, but it’s all
anti-democratic.”
California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin have
passed laws making it more difficult to vote.
People of color, seniors, poor people, and the
disabled face new barriers that we must take
every step to overcome this year.
There has never been a safe time in America
to drop vigilance about attempts to shut people
out of the vote the lifeblood of democracy. As
Frederick Douglass made clear, “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did
and it never will.” He warned that we can
never take anything for granted especially
Black citizens. Although it may be wrapped up
in new euphemisms and better etiquette, he
reminded that it’s the same old snake. So this
year, let’s all be alert. Be active. Use your
power as one citizen and vote. Don’t let anyone take it away from you. Let’s mount an
urgent and systematic state-by-state fight
against the latest kinds of disenfranchisement
and counter every single effort at voter suppression with redoubled commitments to voter
education, voter registration, and voter turnout. Our democracy and our children’s futures
depend on it.

It’s Time to Seriously Tackle the Money
behind the Drug Cartels
By Rafael Espada and Raymond Baker
Several Latin American leaders have proposed legalizing aspects of the drug trade in
recent months, clearly acknowledging that the
current strategy in the war on drugs is not working. They are correct in highlighting the flaws
in the traditional approach to battling illicit narcotics, but do we really need to wave the white
flag? Or do alternative approaches still exist to
curtail the illicit drug trade?
The United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crime in Vienna estimates that globally more
than forty percent of cocaine is seized somewhere between production and consumption.
It also estimates, however, that less than one
half of one percent of laundered criminal
money is interdicted worldwide. For too long,
the focus of the Drug Enforcement Administration and other law enforcement bodies has
been on drug busts, while remarkably little has
been done to curtail the money financing these
illicit operations. We’ve been battling the symptoms without truly addressing the underlying
cause. Curtail the money behind drug smuggling and we will curtail the crime itself.
The United States has already proven its
ability to quickly and decisively tackle illicit
financing when it puts its mind to it. After September 11, 2001, the USA Patriot Act included
considerably strengthened anti-money laundering legislation, for example, banning shell
banks—and any banks doing business with shell
banks—from operating within the U.S. financial system. This and other measures made it
more difficult for terrorist financing to circulate in the legitimate financial system, and
consequentially executing large-scale terrorist attacks has become much more difficult.
We can do the same with drug money; it’s
simply a matter of political will.
Much of the profit realized by drug cartels in
the United States makes its way back into
Mexico as cash dollars where it is then
smuggled through to Guatemala, El Salvador,
and Panama. It subsequently gets deposited in
local banks which then ship the physical U.S.
dollars back to the United States. Knowing
which local branches of these Central American banks accept large cash deposits of U.S.
currency would be a critical tool for Central
American—and U.S.—law enforcement as
they battle the war on drugs. It helps track the
drug cartels and crack down on their financing. However, the private, commercial banks
currently load the bulk U.S. dollar currency onto
airplanes and fly the cash directly back to the
United States usually without informing their
own Central Bank or law enforcement where
they got the money. Global Financial Integrity
and others have proposed requiring commercial banks in Central American nations to route
these cash transfers through their nation’s Central Bank, which would then relay the money
to the destination bank in the United States,
thereby allowing the nation’s Central Bank to
track the magnitude of the problem and from
which banks and branches the money origi-
nates.
It’s a proposal which has been met with honest consideration in Central America but which
has not been implemented due to opposition
from the U.S. government. Why is the U.S.
government opposing this proposal? Surely the
U.S. would benefit significantly from the trove
of drug cartel financial data that would result
from such an arrangement.
Moreover, there are few places in the world
where it is easier to open an anonymous shell
corporation than inside the United States.
These entities, which can be registered by company formation agents possessing sole information as to the real owners, often make it
impossible for U.S. and foreign law enforcement agencies to track the finances of the
world’s largest drug cartels. They grant the
cartels and other financial criminals impunity
through anonymity. The bi-partisan Incorporation Transparency and Law Enforcement Assistance Act, which was introduced into the U.S.
Senate and House of Representatives last fall,
would give federal authorities access to this
ownership information and contribute to ostracizing drug cartels from the legitimate financial
system.
Still, even when anti-money laundering rules
are in place, it’s extremely important that financial regulators be fully funded and provided
the resources they need to ensure banks comply with the law. Citibank, HSBC, and
Wachovia have all been in the news recently
for allegedly failing to comply with U.S. antimoney laundering regulations. Further, a recent
study conducted by the U.K. government found
that three quarters of British banks were not
adequately complying with anti-money laundering rules. There is no reason to believe the situation is any different at American banks. Evershrinking budgets for the nation’s under-staffed
financial watchdogs have real consequences:
a money laundering Wild West being one of
them. Congress must ensure that U.S. regulators are appropriately budgeted with the necessary resources to perform their duties, and
the bankers found to be complicit in the laundering of money should receive jail time –
merely fining financial institutions is not
enough.
As we did with terrorists a decade ago, the
United States has the ability to deliver a striking blow to drug smugglers—curtailing the
money that fuels the entire industry. Before
we consider giving up and legalizing drugs, and
instead of perpetuating the costly whack-amole model of drug busts and seizures, let’s
pull the rug out from under the narcotics industry. We can do it if there is political will.

Improving Hispanic Representation within Federal Service
The Role of the Office of Personnel Management
By John Berry
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
knows that Hispanics are underrepresented in
the Federal workforce. However, with an 8.1%
Hispanic representation government wide, and
Hispanic new hires doubling in the Senior Executive Service to 5.4%, we are moving in the
right direction.
OPM has recognized and acknowledged the
potential and talent Hispanics bring to the Federal Workforce. As we expand outreach and
recruitment within the Hispanic community, we
want to ensure everyone at our agencies receives equal opportunities to advance in their
career. We have made it a point to engage community members and Hispanic leaders in the
discourse, exchange of ideas, and decisions
regarding the careers of Hispanics within the
Federal Workforce. We formed the Hispanic
Council on Federal Employment (HCFE) to help
us identify barriers, and implement solutions to
address the needs and concerns of the Hispanic community.
By bringing together leaders from across the
nation, the HCFE provides me with quality insight on matters involving recruitment, hiring,
and advancement of Hispanics within the Federal workforce. The HCFE is co-chaired by
John Sepulveda, Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration for the
Department of Veterans Affairs, and Liz
Montoya, Chief of Staff for the Office of Personnel Management. As Director of OPM, I’ve
made it a priority to reach all groups with the
Federal government’s recruitment and retention strategies, including the Hispanic community, and to eliminate any obstacles to the employment of Hispanics at every level within the
Federal civilian workforce.
During the HCFE’s May 4th, 2012 meeting,
OPM’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion reported on the implementation of the HCFE’s
recommendations. Among the steps taken,
OPM is hard at work partnering with different
organizations around the country, including Hispanic Serving Institutions and Hispanic Veterans organizations, to make Federal employment
an attractive option for Hispanics. We are also
upgrading technology to obtain more robust
applicant flow data. This data can be used to
help shape strategies which will ensure that the
Federal government recruits broadly from all
segments of society, including the Hispanic
community.
We are making sure that the Federal workplace welcomes people - from all backgrounds
- who want to use their talents to have a positive impact in our communities - and we’re
making sure that people in the Hispanic community are aware of it. We remain committed
to removing any challenges to the employment
and advancement of Hispanics in the Federal
workforce and will continue working with the
HCFE to implement the vision outlined in President Obama’s Executive Order; Establishing a
Coordinated Government-Wide Initiative to
Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal
Workforce.
As the President has said, “We are at our
best when we draw on the talents of all parts
of our society,” and the Hispanic community is
key to ensuring our nation’s continued success.

Latino Voices Necessary in Mobile Internet Debates
Por Maria Cardona
There has been a lot of talk about how Latinos
need to come out and vote to have their voices
heard.
But what we haven’t heard enough of is the
importance of Latinos becoming active participants in shaping the policies of the technology
industry.
I have been interested and involved in helping to ensure Latinos are better versed in
telecom and technology issues since I worked
for the late Commerce Secretary Ronald H.
Brown. He understood minorities had a big
stake in our digital future. His work with one of
the department’s agencies, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, underscored the early benefits of the
internet to minority communities.
Currently, I work with Dewey Square, a public affairs firm that has advocated for telecom
policies that will make broadband access more
accessible and universal.
Now, a report underscores why this is so
important.
“Hispanic Broadband Access: Making the
Most of the Mobile, Connected Future” outlines research that shows Hispanics are adopting mobile devices at a higher rate than white
Americans, and they disproportionately rely on
wireless to access job searches, education,
health care and government resources.
In 2010, 76% of Hispanics reported using cell
phones, with three out of four accessing mobile services other than telephone calls.
In February, there were nearly 17 million
unique visits by Hispanics on Facebook, and
Twitter use rose by 32%. Hispanics are 17%
more likely to keep a personal blog than the
general population.
But it is not just social media and blogging.
The Hispanic community actually leads in using Internet access to advance their education
and economic prospects.
A recent Nevada study found that 57% of
Hispanics conduct online job searches, compared to the average Nevadan at 45%. And
49% of Hispanics surveyed used their mobile
devices to take online classes or do school work,
slightly higher than the average in the area: 44%.
We need to raise our voices on these issues
so we can be the architects of our digital future. Why leave it to others when we can - and
should - have a say in the telecom policies our
elected leaders and government agencies are
formulating?
The report lays clear the stakes to the His-
panic community of the ongoing effort to press
the U.S. government to make more spectrum
– the airwaves on which all digital information
is carried to and from our wireless computers
and mobile devices - available to meet fastrising demand for wireless services.
Think about it this way: With wireless users
increasingly familiar - and frustrated - waiting
for their mobile devices to load, it’s important
to remember that the iPhone was released only
five years ago.
In that short time, mobile data usage has
spiked off the charts, and there are now more
than 330 million wireless subscriptions, more
people than live in the United States.
At the same time, while mobile demand and
traffic have exploded, there has been little
change in the amount of wireless airwaves
available to make all of these connections possible.
In fact, the Federal Communications Commission has warned that wireless demand could
outstrip existing network capacity as early as
2013.
If allowed, such a ‘spectrum crunch’ would
disproportionately harm the mobile-centric Hispanic population.
Latinos will disproportionately feel the burden with more dropped calls, failed applications, longer wait times to load and higher prices
because we use these devices more and at
higher rates than other Americans.
But if we don’t claim a stake in the technology debate, these numbers and stats will not
help us build a digital world where there is 100%
broadband access and adoption across all racial and economic lines, and where the digital
divide is a thing of the past.
Will our leaders move past talk to concrete
actions that make more spectrum available to
expand the wireless web?
This can make the difference between a digital future Latinos will lead or one where the
divide gets bigger and our community loses.
Latinos can and should help spur this on by
using the exact tools we are using in greater
numbers to chime in to our elected leaders the
urgency of getting this done now.
Elections and voting booths are not the only
place where Latino voices should be saying
Si, se puede.

AVISO DE TALLER PÚBLICO DEL CONCEJO DE
LA CIUDAD PARA APORTE PÚBLICO SOBRE EL
QUINTO CICLO (2013-2020) DEL ELEMENTO DE
VIVIENDA PROPUESTO. MF 1060
Taller Público del Concejo de la Ciudad: 1 de agosto
de 2012
SE NOTIFICA POR MEDIO DEL PRESENTE que el Concejo de
la Ciudad de Imperial Beach llevará a cabo un taller público el 1
de agosto de 2012, a las 6:00 p.m. en las Cámaras del Concejo,
825 Imperial Beach Blvd., Imperial Beach, CA para tratar el
siguiente ítem:
Título del Proyecto: Proyecto del Quinto Ciclo (Año 2013-2020)
del Elemento de Vivienda de Imperial Beach
Descripción: La Ciudad propone enmendar el Plan General de
Imperial Beach realizando una actualización del Elemento de
Vivienda. El Elemento de Vivienda es uno de los siete elementos
obligatorios del plan general.
La ley estatal del Elemento de Vivienda (Sección 65580 y
siguientes del Código de Gobierno) exige “Una evaluación de
las necesidades de vivienda y un inventario de los recursos y
restricciones pertinentes para satisfacer dichas necesidades”.
La ley exige:
• Un análisis de la población y tendencias de empleo;
• Un análisis de las necesidades regionales de vivienda que
le competen a la Ciudad;
• Un análisis de las características del grupo familiar;
• Un inventario de terrenos apropiados para el desarrollo
residencial;
• Un análisis de las restricciones gubernamentales y no
gubernamentales sobre el mejoramiento, mantenimiento y
desarrollo de viviendas;
• Un análisis de las necesidades especiales de vivienda;
• Un análisis para oportunidades de conservación de la energía;
y
• Un análisis de urbanizaciones de viviendas con asistencia
pública que puedan convertirse en urbanizaciones de
viviendas sin asistencia.
El propósito de estos requerimientos es desarrollar una
comprensión de las necesidades existentes y proyectadas de
viviendas dentro de la comunidad y establecer políticas,
programas y cronogramas que promuevan la preservación, el
mejoramiento y desarrollo de diversos tipos y costos de
viviendas en todo Imperial Beach.
Enmienda al Plan General: Este proyecto constituye una
enmienda al Plan General de la Ciudad, pero el elemento de
vivienda no es un componente del Programa Costero Local
certificado de la Ciudad en virtud de la Sección 30500.1 del
Código de Recursos Públicos de la Ley Costera de California
y, por lo tanto, no necesita la certificación de la Comisión
Costera de California. La §65352 del Código de Gobierno de
California exige una revisión de 45 días de una enmienda al
plan general antes de su adopción. El anteproyecto del elemento
de vivienda será publicado en la página web de la Ciudad
(www.cityofib.com ) haciendo clic en el menú desglosable de la
sección Government (gobierno) y haciendo clic en la pestaña
Public Notices (avisos públicos). Luego del taller público, el
consultor de la Ciudad, Veronica Tam and Associates, transmitirá
el anteproyecto del elemento de vivienda al Departamento de
Vivienda y Desarrollo Comunitario de California para una revisión
de 60 días en virtud de la §65585 del Código de Gobierno.
Información Medioambiental: La Ciudad de Imperial Beach
(Ciudad) en su carácter de Agencia Principal preparará un
Anteproyecto de Declaración Negativa (Negative Declaration,
ND) de conformidad con CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) para el Quinto Ciclo del Elemento de Vivienda.
Subsecuentemente, se proporcionará un aviso y revisión del
ND en la página web de la Ciudad y se lo exhibirá en la oficina
del Secretario de la Ciudad y en la Biblioteca Pública de Imperial Beach para una revisión pública de 30 días del documento
medioambiental.
Derechos de Apelación en Conformidad con el Código de
Procedimiento Civil: El tiempo dentro del cual se debe procurar
una revisión judicial sobre una medida tomada por el Concejo
de la Ciudad sobre este asunto se rige por la Sección 1094.6 del
Código de Gobierno de Procedimiento Civil (CCP) de California. El derecho de apelar una decisión del Concejo de la Ciudad
se rige por la Sección 1094.5 del CCP y el Capítulo 1.18 del
Código Municipal de la Ciudad de Imperial Beach.
Las personas interesadas pueden presentarse ante el Concejo
de la Ciudad en la fecha, lugar y hora citados. Si usted recusa
el asunto por vía judicial, puede verse limitado a tratar únicamente
aquellos asuntos que usted o alguien más hayan elevado en la
audiencia pública descrita en este aviso o por correspondencia
escrita entregada al Concejo de la Ciudad en la audiencia pública
o con anterioridad.
La Ciudad de Imperial Beach procura dar cumplimiento cabal a
la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades. Si necesita
asistencia o dispositivos de ayuda para participar en las reuniones
del Concejo de la Ciudad, por favor comuníquese con la Oficina
del Secretario de la Ciudad al (619) 423-8301 con la mayor
antelación posible a la reunión.
Si tiene preguntas relacionadas con el proyecto citado, por favor comuníquese con Jim Nakagawa, AICP, Planificador de la
Ciudad al (619) 628-1355 o en [email protected].

PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE
NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
MURIEL MILLER
CASE NUMBER:
37-2012-00151722-PR-PW-CTL
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and
persons who may otherwise be
interested in the will or estate, or
both of: MURIEL MILLER
A Petition for Probate has been
filed by: JAMES MCKINNIE in
the Superior Court of California,
County of San Diego
The Petition for Probate requests
that: JAMES MCKINNIE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any,
be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available
for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority
to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration
of Estates Act. (This authority
will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not
grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will
be held in this court as follows: Date: AUG 07, 2012. Time:
11:00A.M. Dept: PC-1
Address of court: SUPERIOR
COURT OF CALIFORNIA,
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, 1409
Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA
92101. Madge Bradley
If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear
at the hearing and state your
objections or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may
be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided
in Probate Code section 9100.
The time for filling claims will not
expire before four months from
the hearing date notice above.
You may examine the file kept
by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154)
of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section
1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.
