Child and
punishment: new
approaches to
school discipline
By Matthew J. Connor
WASHINGTON – Across the
country, minority students
are punished more frequently and more severely for similar offenses than their white
peers.
That was one of the points
of a White House conference Wednesday, July 22,
that also attempted to find
solutions and alternatives
to traditional school punishment.
Arne Duncan, secretary
of education, said that, when
he was CEO of Chicago
Public Schools, he learned
that a majority of arrested
students were arrested during the school day.
“It was our schools who
were calling the police to
have our kids arrested,”
Duncan said. “We met the
enemy. It was us.”
Duncan said Chicago reduced student arrest rates
by replacing security guards
with social workers.
The conference, “Rethink
School Discipline,” brought
together policymakers, educators and social activists.
Members of the audience
had opportunities to ask policymakers about school discipline. The goal was to talk
about alternatives to traditional school punishment –
suspensions and expulsions.
According to the Department of Education’s Office
for Civil Rights, AfricanAmerican students make up
16 percent of students but 31
percent of all school-related
arrests. White students were
51 percent of enrollment and
39 percent of those arrested.
Vanita Gupta, principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice, said that
the environment of a school
matters. Replacing security guards with social workers at schools signals a more
supportive environment to
students.
The racial disparity in
school discipline precedes
kindergarten.
AfricanAmerican students make
up 18 percent of U.S. preschoolers, yet receive 48
percent of all penalties more
severe than school suspension, according to the Education Department report.
And though prejudice is
declining, many teachers
stereotype students they discipline because of implicit
bias, said UCLA Professor

Student’s dream of becoming a nurse
washed away at bay front University
By Susan Luzzaro
United States University, a for-profit institution located on Bay Boulevard in
Chula Vista, has an uneven
track record. Things have
been improving for them of
late —so why does a USU
student have to hire an attorney to try resolve her dispute?
Celeste P. wanted to become a nurse. When she
first started attending USU
she had already accrued 60
units at Grossmont Community College. She initially
only wanted to take a microbiology course at USU and
then get on a waiting list for
enrollment in the Grossmont
Associated RN program. A
USU academic advisor suggested she could earn both
a Bachelor’s in Science
and a Bachelor’s in Science
Nursing at USU in a shorter amount of time than the
degree at Grossmont. This
sounded like a great opportunity to her.
According to Celeste, during her undergraduate studies the university’s ownership changed several times,
staff turnover was high, policies changed and tuition
increased. Some students,
Celeste said, could not afford the changes and were
forced to drop out. She hung
in there because she had already invested so much.
When, Timothy Cole became the fourth USU president, Celeste hoped things
would improve. She entered an ABSN [accelerated
Bachelor of Science in nursing] program. Later, however, she was dropped from
the cohort because her final
grade in Pediatrics was 2%
below the minimum. She
said the pediatrics’ professor, who was also the assistant dean of nursing, left the
university midway during
the course and was not re-

Celeste sought ways to
mediate the grade or retake
the class, but was often told
she would have to retake—
and pay for—all the course
work. According to a complaint letter Celeste wrote
to the Board of Registered
Nurses, President Cole and
she came to an agreement
that she could retake the pe-
diatrics course. An administrator advised her of the start
date for the class —but when
she went to register she was

In Cuba, ‘Creeping Capitalism’ Arrives
Analysis
By Louis Nevaer
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
HAVANA—When the U.S.
embassy reopened in Havana on Monday after more
than 54 years, it signaled
what Cubans have now accepted: creeping capitalism
is the future.
A stroll through Old Havana is enough to convince
anyone that the entrepreneurial spirit that is fasttransforming this city into
a nation of shopkeepers is
in full swing. This isn’t to
say that corporate America
is about to descend on this
island nation of 12 million
people. Raúl Castro’s reforms place sharp restrictions on capitalism: one can
work for one’s self, but only
the state can hire more than
two employees.
For now, this is enough.
Capitalism has arrived: families are running small restaurants called paladares;
people are renting out rooms
in their homes to foreign
tourists; artists are inviting
buyers into their studios and
homes; and entrepreneurs
are providing goods and services as best they can to all
manner of buyers.

the communist regime can
do to prevent it.

Juarez Femicide Trial Verdict: Milestone or Miscarriage of Justice?
By Kent Paterson
In an action that gives the
old Friday News Dump an
extra twist, a Mexican court
handed down a Saturday
night verdict in a landmark
and controversial case.
Before a packed courtroom late Saturday, July 18,
three women judges in Ciudad Juarez found five men
guilty and absolved a sixth
in the trafficking and killing
of 11 girls and young women who disappeared in the
Mexican border city in 2009
and 2010.
The highly decomposed
remains of the victims were
discovered in the Juarez Valley, an agricultural zone outside the city that borders the
United States, in 2011 and
2012. The victims’ identities were later established
through DNA testing.
During the period of the
victims’
disappearancesand subsequent recoveries as
bones- access to the Juarez
Valley was controlled by
criminal gangs, the Mexican
army and federal police.
In a statement posted
on Juarez news site Arrobajuarez.com, the Office of
the Chihuahua State Prosecutor (FGE) applauded the
verdict, declaring that the
decision followed an “unquestionable”
investigation and prosecution that
was buttressed by 176 testimonies, thousands of photographs, scientific studies
and other evidence.
The state prosecutor alleged that young women, who disappeared by the
scores in downtown Juarez
at a time when the city was
under siege in a so-called
drug war and occupied by
soldiers and federal police,
were lured to their fates
with baits of employment
and then pressed into prostitution and street-level drug
dealing. According to the
FGE, the victims were later murdered once they were
deemed no longer “useful”
to the defendants.
Trial testimonies alluded
to the complicity of soldiers
and police in the violence
against the missing young
women, but did not delve
into greater details.
Lead Judge Catalina Ruiz
Pacheco agreed with the
FGE’s arguments, adding in
her remarks explaining the
verdict that traffickers took
advantage of the city’s violent turmoil to kidnap women who were vulnerable because of their age and lowincome socio-economic status.
“They were recruited by
force and then kept segregated from their families and
submitted to forced prostitution,” Ruiz was quoted in El
Diario de Juarez.
In addition to the use of
the new oral trial system operative in the state of Chihuahua, the trial was unusual in that two longtime women’s advocacy organizations
with a history of strongly
criticizing the government’s
response to femicides, Justice for Our Daughters and
the Ciudad Juarez Women’s
Roundtable, actively collaborated with the prosecution
and even participated in delivering the State’s case in
the courtroom.
Personal investigations
by victims’ relatives provided leads that were later used
by the FGE in its own investigation and prosecution of
the six men, who were arrested in 2013.
In a report on the July
18 verdict, NPR termed the
case a “milestone” in the
Mexican justice system.
But family members of
the defendants and other observers had a far more critical take on the prosecution’s
story, pointing to glaring
weaknesses in a case that
have some charging yet another miscarriage of Mexican justice.
For instance, it was never
revealed in the months-long
proceeding, which commenced last April, where
the women were murdered,
when the homicides exactly
occurred and precisely who
did the killing. No physical
evidence was presented to
prove without doubt that the
defendants committed the
homicides, while the precise
motives for the murders remained vague.
In her closing arguments,
public defender Yesenia
Jaquez jumped on contradictions in the testimony of star

witness Luis Jesus Ramirez
Loera and inconsistencies
in the dates of the women’s disappearances, their
alleged captivity at a nowclosed hotel, and the discoveries of their remains.
“It has not been proven
that (the defendants) participated together in trafficking,
much less murder,” Jaquez
was quoted in the Ciudad
Juarez daily Norte.
Gustavo de la Rosa Hick-
erson, a former investigator
for the official Chihuahua
State Human Rights Commission (CEDH) who is
now in private legal practice,

criminal investigation and
prosecution as a “contaminated” one.

Cowboy, Rabbit and Border Town Violence
By Kent Paterson

Most people probably
don’t think of Albuquerque
as a border town. But Dine
(Navajo) Melaine Yazzie
squarely defines the central
New Mexico city as a classic one.
Surrounded not only by
Native and trust lands, Albuquerque and its suburbs are
built on an old indigenous
land base that now hosts
geopolitical and economic
powerhouses such as Sandia
National Laboratories, Kirtland Air Force Base and Intel Corporation.
“There’s the contradiction,” Yazzie told FNS.
“Border towns are established on Native land but
power and money is not
with Native people.” Although more than 50,000
Native Americans reside in
the Duke City, the indigenous community does not
possess local political representation, Yazzie added.

pants waved at passing mo-
torists on the Central Avenue main drag.
Grasping flowers and listening to prayers, the attendees included members of
Thompson’s family, local
residents and activists from
The Red Nation, the Albuquerque Center for Peace
and Justice, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the
anti-police brutality organization ABQ Justice and other groups.
Mourning over the loss of
friends, one tearful Native
woman broke into song for
a few moments. “I want my
friends back, but they’re not
coming back,” she sobbed.
As at least three Albuquerque Police Department
(APD) units monitored the
gathering, tense moments
developed when a beefy
driver for Greg’s Towing attempted to haul away a car
driven by KOB news reporter Stephanie Claytor that was
parked on a property behind
the memorial site where a
Circle K convenience store
and a McDonald’s do business.
A small crowd rallied and
formed a wedge between the
tow truck’s rear and Claytor’s car, “liberating” the
vehicle from the creeping
menace of a lowered truck
ramp and allowing the reporter enough time to wiggle the vehicle out of its predicament. Arms folded, the
hapless tow truck driver insisted that he must remove
the vehicle, but was unable
to act.
A transit cop appeared
and barked at the crowd,
“If you don’t want to get arrested, get off the property
now!” “Boycott Circle K!”
the crowd shot back.
But the real focus of the
day was on victims of violence like “Cowboy” Gorman and “Rabbit” Thompson.
In a press release announcing the vigil/memorial, The Red Nation called
on the public to take action:
“This pattern of violence
and racism can longer go
unnoticed. Too many families have suffered. It must
stop.”
In conversations with FNS
both during and after the memorial, members of Thompson’s family shared memories of their loved one. Sister Veda Yazzie, aunt Louise Yazzie and nephew Ivan
Yazzie described Thompson
as a fun-loving, helpful and
outgoing man who enjoyed
basketball, cooking, traveling, playing cards and heavy
metal music.
According to relatives,
Thompson herded sheep in
the summer and looked for
construction jobs the remainder of the year. “He
comes and goes and comes
back,” said Louise Yazzie,
who raised Thompson from
the time her nephew’s mother died until he when he
went out into the world after
his 18th birthday.
Switching her words between English and Navajo, Yazzie said Thompson
liked to help “the girls” bake
cakes. He loved food, especially roast mutton, fried
bread, tortillas, mild and
hot chile, and “all kinds of
stews,” she said.
The Yazzies are from
Church Rock, New Mexico.
Three days prior to July 19,
the small Dine community
not far from Gallup marked
another grim anniversary. On
July 16, 1979, the breach of
a uranium mill tailings pond
sent a river of contamination
gushing down the Rio Puerco, wreaking havoc on the
ecosystem and Dine lives.
Veda Yazzie spoke of her
brother’s violent death in
Albuquerque as an unimaginable event.
“It was devastating for
me. I didn’t think we’d
lose him that way. It was a
shocker. I never imagined
anyone dying like that, the
way he did..,” Yazzie said.
“I don’t think any human
being should die like that.”
Ivan Yazzie said his uncle’s murder and the subsequent arrest of three teenagers for the crime shook his
outlook to the core. “It made
me lose hope in the judicial system and our country
as a whole,” the young man
said.
The Red Nation’s Melanie Yazzie said the murders of Cowboy and Rabbit
helped inspire the formation
of her group late last year.
Co-founder Sam Gardipe
placed the emergence of The
Red Nation in the context of
long struggles for survival.
“It was a government policy of extermination at one
point and we aren’t supposed
to be here. We’re supposed
to be in a museum..”Gardipe
said. “We’ve survived all
of it. It’s the resilience, it’s
the Native. We know how
to survive, but it isn’t easy.
The beauty of Native folk is
that we can survive in our
homeland.”
A Pawnee veteran of
many struggles, Gardipe
said The Red Nation unites
older activists like himself
with those from a new generation like Melanie Yazzie
who are articulating both
historic and contemporary
concerns.
The Red Nation defines
itself as a coalition “dedicated to building a widespread
movement to liberate Indigenous peoples from colonialism.”
While not underrating the
importance of environmental and sovereignty struggles, The Red Nation fills a
void by focusing on urban
Indian issues of violence,
poverty, homelessness and
health care, Yazzie said.
Seventy percent of Native
Americans live off the reservation in urban centers like
Albuquerque, she stressed.
The Native activist said
the particular site of the July
19 anniversary memorial for
Thomspon and Gorman was
selected because it’s located
in an impoverished part of
the city where many Natives
live.
As if no additional proof
was needed of the conditions prevailing along East
Central, a woman independently working from a truck
off to a side of the memorial gave away free burritos to
a steady file of people coming in from the streets to fill
their stomachs.
The urgency of addressing the issues raised by The
Red Nation and others was
further reinforced only days
before the memorial. KOB
and other local news me-
dia reported this week that
APD is searching for a purple SUV linked to a July 11
attack on a Native homeless
man in southeast Albuquerque. The attackers tossed
fireworks at the sleeping
man, setting him on fire.
Quoted by KOB, APD
spokesperson Tanner Tixier said the still publicly unidentified victim has spent
more than two weeks in intensive care.
As one of its first actions,
The Red Nation staged a
February 2015 demonstration in Gallup that protested violence against the local Native community. According to Yazzie, The Red
Nation has counted 170 “unnatural deaths” in Gallup between 2013 and April 2015
from causes that include
murder, hypothermia, alcohol, and run-overs by trains
and automobiles.
“I guarantee you, (the
death toll) is higher now,”
Yazzie added. “It seems that
nobody cares.”
FNS asked Yazzie about
anecdotal reports of Dine
women being abducted on
or near the Navajo Nation.
“There is no reliable source
for numbers,” Yazzie said.
“I have heard plenty of stories of Native women being
kidnapped in border towns
like Gallup and trafficked
into sex trafficking,” Yazzie
said.
In a broad historical sense,
The Red Nation’s border
town protests weave a loop
with the indigenous mass
activism of the late 1960s
and 1970s. “It has come full
circle,” Gardipe observed.
“The next generation wants
to do something.”
As a 17 year-old, Gardipe said he marched during
the times when organizations that included the National Indian Youth Council, the American Indian
Movement, the Coalition
for Navajo Liberation, and
the UNM Kiva Club mobilized thousands for protests
in Gallup, Farmington, Window Rock and Albuquerque.

Student’s dream of becoming a nurse
washed away at bay front University
(con’t from page 1)
told the class was half over.
In a July 28 interview,
Celeste she said that she
was now in debt $43,000
and while she has managed
to defer her payments, interest is accruing. To add to it
all, in seeking resolution to
her lost years and lost tuition, Celeste was obliged
to hire David Bristol, an educational attorney who assists K-12 students, charter
students, and private university students from the border
to San Francisco. In a brief
conversation with Bristol on
July 28, he said students often don’t know there is recourse and often turn their
back on situations like these
and walk away.
Celeste said Bristol was
instrumental in obtaining things from her personnel file that made her case
clear.
In a July email to Board
of Nurses consultant, Leslie Moody, Celeste wrote: “I
am happy to report that with
the assistance of an attorney
USU has agreed to fully honor my student catalog rights.
But, the university has sent
out notice to students that
it intends to discontinue the
pre-licensure program [the
program Celeste had been
enrolled in]…”
In other words, Celeste
can win her complaint but
there is no way for her to
finish what she had begun
at USU. She has nothing to
show for her four years with
USU but attorney fees and a
$46,000 debt. Celeste said,
“I can see how it may appear that my issue has been
resolved. However, the university has agreed to allow
me to continue the pre-licensure program, even though
USU intends to discontinue
the pre-licensure program. I
see no resolution in this.”
Celeste speculates that
USU is changing their nursing offerings because “With
a pre-licensure (RN) program they can only accept
20 students at a time, but
with RN [Registered Nurse]
to BSN [Bachelor of Science
in nursing] they [USU] can
have unlimited students doing online classes. It’s more
profitable and they won’t
have to worry about their
low NCLEX pass scores,
which jeopardize their accreditation.
A California state website
gives university test results
for students who have taken
the NCLEX, or nurse licensing exam. Over the last few
years, results for USU are
poor. And in 2013-14 out
of 4 who attempted the test,
none passed.
In a July 28 conversation
with Board of Registered
Nursing consultant Moody,
she stated that United States
University has been approved by the board, but is
currently on “deferred status,” while clearing up some
issues. Moody also said she
cannot discuss an individual
student’s complaint; however the board does involve itself in the process of student
complaints.
As stated in the introduction, USU has an uneven history but there have been improvements in the last year.
In 2013 USU paid a civil settlement of $686,720 to
resolve allegations that the
school had submitted falsified aid application to the
U.S. Department of Education in order to obtain Pell
Grant funds for students
who were ineligible.
2013 was also a bad year
for USU because the Western Association of Schools
and Colleges put the university on probation. The Association found that USU had
multiple weaknesses including serious financial problems.
According to WASC
documents on the university’s website, the institution
worked to resolve problems
and in June 2015 WASC
took the school off probation. However, the accrediting organization noted that
USU needed to “continue
to reduce the annual budget deficit while developing
long term financial sustainability.”
Around the same time the
school was taken off probation the university also
gained a new president and
CEO, Barry T. Ryan, who is
also a WASC commissioner.
In order to reduce their
deficit USU was tasked with
attracting new students. They
got a real catch when Bayfront Charter High School,
an independent charter out
of Chula Vista Elementary
School District, began leasing classroom space from
the university. Not only does
the university get $750k —
they get prospective university students. According
to WASC documents, “An
agreement to lease classroom space to a local charter school will also provide
leads to students enrolled in
the charter school.”
Many small colleges
would salivate over such
an opportunity. In this case,
Bayfront Charter appears to
reciprocate the feeling. Minutes from a March 2015 Bayfront Charter meeting state:
“Dr. Riley [Bayfront Charter CEO] is assisting USU in
expanding its School of Ed
[Education] to take advantage of our expanding presence in the building—the
plan would bring students
to their [USU’s] Education
program and potential employees to CVESD [Chula Vista Elementary School
District.]
For some students, doors
to a new career are opening through USU—for Celeste P. they have closed.
Celeste wishes she had just
continued at Grossmont and
she says she has lost faith in
for-profit colleges. “I have
wasted five years of my life
and I’m farther away from
my goal than ever, now I
have to pay off this debt.”
You May Now Qualify for the Provisional I-601A Waiver
By Kelly O’Reilly
Amnesty, executive orders, federal lawsuits, injunctions are words that
have been tossed around frequently this year in regards
to immigration. For many
immigrants, much of the information is overwhelming. It seems like President
Obama’s executive actions
to aid unlawful immigrants
have been met with strong
opposition. Popular items
such as extending Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (NEW DACA) and
Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA)
have been halted by the Federal Court. Despite these
lawsuits, good news was revealed last week by USCIS
as they are proceeding with
the expansion of the I-601A
provisional waiver.
On March 4, 2013, the
unlawful presence provisional waiver procedure
took effect. Traditionally,
immigrants that were unable
to adjust status in the United
States must leave the United States to consular process their immigrant visas
with a waiver for their unlawful presence. However,
many immigrants were wary
of the risks. If the waiver
failed at the U.S. consulate,
they would be unable to return to the United States and
reunite with their wife and
children. The waiver procedure, known as the I-601A
provisional waiver, aimed to
relieve such dilemma. It allows for immigrants, physically present in the United States, to file for a provisional waiver in the Unit-
ed States. If the provisional waiver is approved, then
the immigrant would proceed with normal consular
processing without having
to risk denial of the waiver abroad. The provisional
waiver will dramatically reduce the risk of leaving the
United States to obtain an
immigrant visa.
On November 20, 2014,
President Obama announced
a series of executive orders
aimed to fix our broken immigration system. Among
one of the orders was to expand the I-601A provisional
waiver. Currently, a provisional waiver is only available to applicants with an
immediate relative petition
and with a U.S. citizen qualifying relative. Practically,
it only benefited a spouse of
a U.S. citizen, a child of a
U.S. citizen over the age of
18, but under 21 who has accrued unlawful presence, or
in limited cases, an applicant
with a 21 year-old (or older) US citizen son or daughter and a U.S. citizen parent.
But what about those that
are petitioned by permanent
residents? What about those
that only have a permanent
resident spouse or parent as
a qualifying relative? The
new initiative aims to provide relief for those that
were not covered.
On July 15, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security issued a draft of the
proposed changes pursuant
to President Obama’s executive orders. The proposed
changed would expand the I601A provisional waiver to
cover immigrants in all immigrant visa categories such
as family-sponsored immigrants, employment-based
immigrants among others.
Additionally, the qualifying relative has been extended from only U.S. citizen
spouse and parents to lawful
permanent resident spouses
and parents. The proposed
expansion will permit any
immigrant seeking an immigrant visa who would be eligible for an I-601 waiver of
unlawful presence abroad to
now apply for a provisional
waiver BEFORE leaving the
U.S. to attend to his or her
immigrant visa interview.
These changes are a step
towards the right direction
in providing relief for many
people currently living in
the United States unlawfully. The proposed changes
are currently under review
and are not applicable until
a final rule is issued. However, it should give people
hope.
This expansion could be
the difference between devastating family separation
and family unity. At Wilner & O’Reilly, we have
helped thousands of people
and families stay together.
Unfortunately, we still see
many deserving individuals
left without relief who can
benefit from reform. This
minor, but important change
may apply to you. Take advantage and know if you
qualify. Schedule your free

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
El Soporte Informativo Para Millones
de Hispanos
Por José López Zamorano
Una capacitación
impostergable
Es indudable que en el
DNA de muchos de nosotros
está bien arraigado un espíritu emprendedor. Las estadísticas lo confirman: más
de 3.2 millón de negocios
son propiedad de latinos en
los Estados Unidos y general anualmente acumulan casi
500,000 millones de dólares
en ventas.
Nuestra contribución a la
economía estadounidense es
por ello doble: no solo realizamos algunos de los trabajos más imprescindibles,
como en la agricultura o la
construcción, sino también
encabezamos un creciente
número de pequeñas y medianas empresas que son el
motor de la creación de empleos en el país.
Resulta por ello paradójico que la tasa de desempleo
hispano sea mayor al promedio nacional. En junio
el promedio nacional de cesantía bajó a 5.3%, pero entre los hispanos fue de 6.6%.
La situación fue peor entre los afro americanos con
9.5%. Entre asiáticos fue la
más baja del país, de 3.8%,
según el Departamento del
Trabajo.
Es un hecho incontrovertible que el mercado laboral
está evolucionando al mismo paso veloz que el cambio tecnológico y eso obliga
a actualizar nuestros conocimientos, así como orientar nuestras aptitudes y talentos, para responder a una
realidad cambiante.
La explosión del uso de
las redes sociales ha gener-
ado por ejemplo una amplia
demanda de trabajadores en
áreas como los sistemas de
redes de datos, instalación
de equipo de cómputo, asistente web, técnico en informática, instaladores de fibra óptica o reparadores de
tabletas móviles.
Existe un creciente número de latinos que ingresan a
este tipo de cursos no sólo
por interés personal, sino por
la realidad de que son categorías de empleos que llegaron para quedarse en la nueva era de alta tecnología.
Ante esta situación en rápida evolución, una de las
herramientas más eficaces
para encontrar empleo, mejorar en el puesto de trabajo que ya tenemos, incluso
independizarnos a través de
nuestro propio negocio, es la
capacitación laboral.
Las incontables experiencias de hispanos emprendedores que han triunfado en
Estados Unidos tienen varios factores en común: la
convicción de la importancia de la superación personal, el valor de dar el primer
paso para mejorar o emprender algo nuevo y el conocimiento necesario para ten-

que nunca capacitarse laboralmente. El Internet móvil
es el vehículo ideal para escoger una carrera de tu elección y cursar los estudios no
solo con un método didáctico audiovisual sino para

Ya sea en las profesiones más innovadoras o en

Los sentimientos musicalizados de Mariana Vega Community Notes
Por Eduardo Stanley
Como muchos artistas,
Mariana Vega empezó a
cantar desde pequeña acompañada de su guitarra.
“En la escuela estudié música”, dice Mariana a través del teléfono.
“Además, mi papá toca el
‘cuatro’ y mamá canta muy
bien”.
Pero a los 15 años, ella y
su familia se mudan de su
natal Caracas, Venezuela, a
Toronto, Canadá. Aquí empieza a componer su propias
canciones y poco a poco
también se anima a presentarse en público. Primero en
locales, luego en algunos
festivales.
Pero también, como a
veces ocurre con muchos artistas, Mariana tuvo un golpe de suerte.
A los 18 años viajó a Caracas a la boda de una prima,
donde la animaron a cantar.
Entre los invitados había un
ejecutivo de la industria de
la música que le pidió un
“demo” —un grabación de
prueba. Y así se le abrieron
las puertas al mundo de la
música profesional.
Y Mariana no desaprovechó esta oportunidad.
Plasmó su estilo de pop y
folk en una grabación titulada “Háblame” (2008), con la
cual se da a conocer públicamente. Dos años después,
graba su primer álbum completo en México, “Mariana
Vega” (2010).
“Escribo sobre sentimientos”, expresa Mariana. Sus
temas son como un susurro para el alma, muy bien
acompañado por la música.

Sus influencias musicales
son variadas, desde Alanis
Morissette a Franco De Vita
y Soraya.
En 2013 su carrera se afianza y graba su segundo álbum, “Mis Burbujas”, esta
vez en Argentina. Aunque
mantiene su estilo, Mariana
también muestra su evolución profesional. Y tanto la
industria como el público
lo reconocen. Recibe premios y reconocimientos, incluyendo el Grammy Latino
en 2014 como mejor artista
nuevo.
Y este año, Mariana esta
llevando sus canciones a
gran parte de Estados Unidos junto a la banda venezolana Los Amigos Invisibles.
“Aparte de la música, me
gusta leer”, dice con un tono
amable, sincero. “Me gusta la ficción histórica, como
‘En el Tiempo de las Mariposas’, de la escritora dominicana Julia Alvarez, o
‘La Fiesta del Chivo’, del
peruano Vargas Llosa”.
Disfruta del cine y la televisión junto a su marido,
pero las posibilidades de recibir una invitación a cenar
se frustran cuando confiesa
que no cocina. “Soy vegetariana, la única de la familia!”, dice riéndose. “Así que
no cocino, solo preparo mis
platillos”.
Pero no importa, porque
lo más importante es disfrutar de la música de esta artista que ya empieza a preparar su tercer álbum, donde
promete plasmar la evolución de su estilo, incorporando tonos tecno y otros arreglos.
La espera, seguramente,
no será en vano!
Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) will host a celebration
of the 50th Anniversary of
the Voting Rights Act 6-7
PM on Wednesday August
5th at the Bayview Baptist
Church (6134 Benson Avenue, San Diego). This event
is free and open to the public.
The celebration will feature guest speakers, music
and a dramatic re-enactment
of the signing of the historical legislation that ensured
and expanded voting rights
to all American citizens.
“As we see attempts to
roll back voting rights in a
number of states, it’s a good
time to reflect on the widespread disenfranchisement
of minorities and the struggle that led to passage of the
Voting Rights Act,” Weber said. “We need to revisit the history and heroes
of that struggle and recommit ourselves to honor their
sacrifice by exercising our
right to decide who makes
the decisions that affect our
lives.”
The event will also include opportunities for participants to register to vote.
Attendees are encouraged,
though not required, to dress
in the clothes of the Civil
Rights Era (1950s and 60s).
To RSVP or for more information, please contact

district office at (619) 5317913.
Child and punishment: new approaches to school discipline

unique. It is very different said. “The country is ready
Goff said the “Two than policing and patrolling to hear this now. It’s going 2015 Summit Speaker
Strikes” study by Jason A.
Okonofua and Jennifer L.
Eberhardt found that teachers turn toward racial stereotypes when punishing repeat
offenders.
African-American students disciplined a second
time were given more severe punishments than white
students, even if the offense
was the same.
Goff said one solution to
implicit bias in school punishment is to use a discipline
matrix that charts how to penalize students for first and
repeat offenses. This method would prevent teachers
from using unconscious stereotypes when disciplining
students of different races.
“There really is a growing recognition about the
overuse of suspension and
expulsion,” Gupta said.
“The school environment is
the streets.”
Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to the president, said
because of the shooting in
Charleston and recent attention toward policing, the
country is ready to listen
to the president’s message
about how race intersects
with other issues, such as
school punishment.
Anna Deavere Smith,
playwright and actress on
“Nurse Jackie,” has tried
to carry that message into
her work. In her latest play,
“Notes From the Field: Doing Time in Education, the
California Chapter,” Smith
portrays several characters
based on people she has interviewed to show the path
of marginalized youth from
school to prison.
“The problem is so big,
it attracts people from all
kinds of disciplines,” Smith
to take a new kind of moral imagination in this country.”
The racial gap in school
suspensions and expulsions
extend to prison. About one
in three African-American
males born today will go to
prison in his lifetime. For
Hispanic males, the number is one in every 6, and for
white males, it’s one in 17.
“What we spend on incarceration could provide early
childhood education for every 3- or 4-year-old. It could
provide free tuition to every
student at a public university
in our country,” Jarrett said.
“What is wrong with us that
those aren’t our priorities?”

Cowboy, Rabbit and Border Town Violence
(con’t from page 2)
The grievances ranged
from the exploitation of Native crafts and culture in
tourist-oriented Gallup to
the beating deaths of Dine
men by white teenagers in
Farmington, New Mexico.
The Farmington atrocities attracted the attention
of the United States Commission on Civil Rights,
with an advisory committee
to the Commission filing a
landmark 1975 report after
conducting an independent
investigation and holding a
field hearing.
Following a comprehensive examination of conditions facing the Farmington-area Native community, the advisory committee “concluded that Native
Americans in almost every
area suffer from injustice
and maltreatment,” according to a University of Massachusetts summary of the
report.
Forty years later, Gardipe
assessed the earlier movement as having some positive but not enduring effects. “I think it got better for awhile, but it didn’t
last,” Gardipe reflected. “I
don’t know if the city officials didn’t care or if the
people didn’t care.”
In a déjà vu of sorts,
Gardipe said The Red Nation was contemplating upcoming actions that include
a protest in Farmington,
where more recent spates of
violence against Native men
recall previous years.
Members of Kee “Rabbit” Thompson’s family
said they plan to monitor
the trial of the three teens
charged in a brutal murder.
Thompson’s relatives expressed fears that the trio of
alleged killers would get off
the hook and not be held ac-
countable for their actions.
“If they get away with
it, they’re telling society,
hey guys, you’re on your
own, and it’s not just Natives,” sister Veda Yazzie
said. Thompson’s sibling
said life imprisonment justice would be fitting justice
for the alleged killers of her
brother. Urging parents to
take responsibility for their
young, Yazzie added that
Thompson’s murder inflicted a pain that “doesn’t go
away” or let her know when
it will stop.
“It’s really hard,” she
concluded. “At times I think,
when is this nightmare going to end?”

actuación en el Péndulo de
Acero, donde a 10 metros de
altura hace sus acrobacias
sin ninguna protección.
“Quise que mi Péndulo fuera más extremo, más

Nothing but a smokescreen with
Planned Parenthood video
R
ecently, a video went viral
that recorded Planned Parenthood representatives in a
restaurant talking about harvesting and selling fetuses. The imagery associated with this is ugly, one of
deception, of dastardly deeds, of doctors out to make a buck selling aborted fetuses. The initial reaction to this
is one of despair, that this is not good,
and seemingly indefensible. Quite naturally the anti-abortionist, right wingRepublican reaction was swift and condemning. They immediately moved to
defund Planned Parenthood.
However, after further investigation,
we have learned that this is apparently
a bunch of nothing, about nothing illegal and nothing out of the ordinary.
The Center for Medical Progress,
an anti-abortion group behind the intended sting, went to elaborate lengths
to get this piece of video. It took them
over three years of deception, plotting,
and planning to get to this point, creating a fake business, apparently misleading corporate filings, and false
government identifications.
This anti-abortion group then released an 8 minute video that is highly edited to create the controversy. But
when you look at the full 2 hour video,
the full picture is something completely different than the hysteria that surrounds the edited 8 minutes that went
viral.
First and foremost Planned Parenthood has been permitted under federal law to donate organs and tissues of
aborted fetuses, with the permission of
abortion patients, to legitimate research
facilities. Secondly, federal law permits
abortion clinics to collect reimbursement fees due to costs associated with
these donations. As stated in the video
this could range from $30 to $100.
There is no profit being made by
Planned Parenthood.
In the unedited version of the video
one of the doctors describes how human embryonic cells—those voluntarily donated by Planned Parenthood’s
patients—are used in medical research
that may one day lead to a cure for degenerative neurological diseases, brain
tumors, and spinal cord injuries.
The anti-abortion folks and the conservative Republicans do not really
care about all this, they are only interested in shutting down Planned Parenthood. Congress is looking at ways
to defund the program despite the fact
that Planned Parenthood receives very
little money for the abortion portion of
their services.
Since the enactment of the Hyde
amendment there has been no federal funding of abortion services except
for very narrow exceptions. If Planned
Parenthood is defunded what will be
lost are the services toward preventive
medicine — breast and cervical cancer
screenings, birth control, STI testing
and treatment, and well-woman exams
which provide middle and low-income
communities with quality services.
For minority communities, in many
instances, Planned Parenthood is their
only access to quality health care.
The video does not reveal any wrong
doing or illegal activity. Dealing with
and talking about harvesting fetuses
between professionals is a normal part
of their everyday life. For most of us
this kind of talk makes us squirm, it
makes us a bit uneasy, but this is not
a reason to cut funding that serves the
minority communities of our nation.
Don’t let zealots dictate national policy. What we need is some level headed thinking from our Congressmen to
view this video in its full context and
weight the relevant facts surrounding
this issue and then make a wise decision on the future of the health care
needs of our communities.
We hope, in the end, Congress will
make the right decision!

The Univision poll found that in a potential Clinton-Jeb Bush matchup in 2016,
Clinton would win 64% of the Latino vote,
compared to just 27% for Bush; and Clinton
would gain 66% of the Latino vote over the
25% that Marco Rubio would obtain.
However, we need to remember: polls
are a snapshot of a specific moment, and
the general election is still sixteen months
away. The Democrats, particularly current
favorite Clinton, shouldn’t rest on their laurels because anything can happen in sixteen
months.
One of the main challenges will be to
excite and mobilize Latino voters so that
they turn out to the polls. In that department, Democrats have work ahead of them
and must not forget that a Latino voter who
stays home is a vote for the other party. They
must not forget the lessons learned in the
2014 midterm elections, in the U.S. Senate
race in Colorado, for example. Assuming
that Latino voters know a candidate’s positions, and taking their support for granted is
not a strategy, but rather a big risk.
Hence the wise advice of Mr. 305, Pitbull: politicians need to get their acts together.
Why We Must Defend Planned
Parenthood
By Rep. Chris Taylor
fetuses. ALEC and the anti-abortion movement have many of the same funding sources and have the same goals —electing Republicans across this country who will turn
back the clock for women all over the United States.
Under the ALEC banner of free markets
and limited government, Walker touted
defunding Planned Parenthood. He failed
to mention that the result was the shutting
down of five mostly rural health centers
that didn’t provide abortions but cervical
and breast cancer screens. (New numbers
just released last week show that 25 percent fewer women had access to a women’s
health center in 2013 than in 2010.)
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, another Republican candidate for President, referred to the legalization of abortion
as the prime example of our country’s moral depravity. And fellow candidate, Texas
Senator Ted Cruz, the most verbally strident of the three, speaking by video at the
conference, touted shutting down Planned
Parenthood. Though all three talked about
smaller government, that concept apparently doesn’t apply to women’s private medical decisions. When it comes to women’s
bodies, they want government as big and intrusive as possible.
But the biggest lesson I have learned
about reproductive health issues hasn’t been
in the capitol or even working at Planned
Parenthood, but as a woman who struggled through six pregnancies, more than
half unsuccessfully. I learned that decisions
women make about our reproductive health
aren’t about death, but about life. Whether
we are faced with an unintended pregnancy, or when a wanted pregnancy goes heartbreakingly wrong, we are simply trying to
live the life we imagine for ourselves and
our families.
And this is where the rightwing is the
most out of touch. Anti-abortion activists want to talk about death and fetal tissue and body parts, leaving women out of
the discussion on abortion and reproductive
health. They ignore the reality of women’s
lives, and the dreams that we have for ourselves and the families we may, or may not,
someday have.
Republicans like Scott Walker want to
stamp out abortion by stamping out Planned
Parenthood. But what they really want is
to stamp out our ability to make the most
personal, private decisions about our lives.
They are using the latest campaign to shut
down Planned Parenthood to do just that.
We must make sure that doesn’t happen.
When I went to work as the legislative
director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in 2003, I was unprepared for the attacks this venerable women’s health-care
group experiences on a routine basis. There
are organizations solely dedicated to shutting down Planned Parenthood, and more
pop up every day. Even before the 2010 Tea
Party takeover in state capitols around the
country, including ours, the relentless legal
and political attacks on Planned Parenthood
were unending.
I thought I knew something about courage,
but what I learned at Planned Parenthood was
that I knew nothing about it. The staff and
physicians who walk into a health center every day, who are targeted and harassed while
their workplace is sometimes vandalized and
threatened, are the heroes. And they do it every day because there are thousands of women in our state who otherwise wouldn’t have
access to birth control, cervical and breast
cancer screens or testing and treatment for
sexually transmitted diseases. Even though
abortion is only a tiny piece of the services
Planned Parenthood provides, it is a critical
service. And there are people who risk their
lives every day to provide it.
When I was elected as a state representative, I saw the attempts to shut down
Planned Parenthood and abortion access up
close and personal. Some legislators in our
state capitol are there solely to make abortion, and birth control, illegal. And they will
stop at nothing to do so.
Newly proposed state legislation is targeted not only at abortion, but also at birth
control. A new bill would lower birth control reimbursement rates for safety net providers serving low-income women to a level that could shut most or all of these health
centers down. And though Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and legislative Republicans have already denied any state funding for birth control and cancer detection
efforts Planned Parenthood provides (no
public monies can be used for abortion services), they now are attempting to deny any
federal family planning funds to providers,
including Planned Parenthood.
This is a nationally coordinated effort.
At the recent annual convention of the
American Legislative Exchange Council (“ALEC”), the newest smear campaign
against Planned Parenthood was a cause
célèbre for Republican presidential candidates. Despite the fact that ALEC purports
not to address social issues including abortion, on the other side of the convention

Obama’s prison focus demonstrates
need for juvenile justice reform
By Jody Kent Lavy and James Ross
President Obama’s call for criminal justice reform, especially for young offenders,
is a historic breakthrough.
“We’ve got to make sure the juvenile justice system remembers that kids are different,” the president said in his recent address
to the NAACP.
Obama’s statement brings increased visibility to what adolescent development research has long documented: Children have
less ability than adults to control their impulses, think through the long-term consequences of their behaviors or avoid pressure
from peers and adults. Significantly, they
also have a greater capacity for rehabilitation. The U.S. Supreme Court, drawing in
part on this science, has ruled that children
are “constitutionally different” from adults
and, in three rulings during the past decade,
has scaled back the harshest penalties that
can be imposed upon them.
During his Oklahoma visit to a federal
prison, the first ever by a sitting president,
Obama spoke of a severely broken system
that disproportionately impacts young men
of color and has been costly to families,
communities and taxpayers. Black teens are
sentenced to life without parole at a per capita rate 10 times that of white youth.
Sadly, Obama has called for reform only
for those who have committed drug offenses
and other nonviolent crimes, while insisting
on harsh punishments for others. We know,
however, that youth who have been exposed
to violence can overcome their own violent
behaviors if we take a more constructive approach than long prison terms.
Only in the United States is it still possible for children to be sent to prison without hope of ever earning their release. That
is why states and the federal government
should ban life without parole, the most
extreme punishment available to children
in the United States. And, as Obama said,
prosecutors should use their discretion to
seek the most appropriate punishments,
taking into account a defendant’s age and a
child’s unique ability to change.
The president’s call comes amid growing
political momentum to end life-without-parole sentences for children. This momentum has carried over into state legislatures.
Fourteen states have eliminated these sentences. Several other states do not use the
sentence or have significantly restricted its
use.
A growing and politically diverse coalition has also called for an end to such punishment. Policymakers and opinion leaders
ranging from ex-President Carter to former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich and conservative commentator George Will have spoken out in favor of a ban. More than 100
national and international organizations
have done the same, and entities such as the
American Bar Association, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the American
Correctional Association have issued statements calling for children to be held accountable in age-appropriate ways that focus on their capacity for rehabilitation and
reintegration into society.
At the NAACP, the president called
America “a nation of second chances.” He
added, “Any system that allows us to turn a
blind eye to hopelessness and despair, that’s
not a justice system, it is an injustice system.”
Hope is the greatest thing we can provide
to children. State legislatures and Congress
have the power to move us toward that hope
by banning life-without-parole sentences
for children.

coordinator at the Campaign for the Fair
Sentencing of Youth. James Ross is the organization’s communications director. They

Dealing with the Devil
Why the deal with Iran must be nullified
By Edie J. Adler
I must admit this is a very difficult article for me to write. In my wildest nightmares I never could have imagined that my
beloved United States of America, a beacon of light in a darkened world, would be
so close to joining the forces of evil and
stand ready to sell our soul to the devil.
No, our country is not perfect; our history is stained by the horrors of slavery
and racism. But, while we still have work
to do, we have come a long way. It is here
where people are truly free to live their
lives as they please, practice their religion,
openly express their opinions, without fear
of persecution.
People from all over the world want to
come to the USA to try and make a better
life for themselves and their loved ones.
As a country we have stood in the side
of right versus wrong, good versus evil.
But not now. We are currently leading the way to a nuclear Iran. Our President and Secretary of State are sponsoring
a deal with Iran that will inevitably have
dire consequences for the entire world.
They are making a deal with the devil, as
the chants of “death to America” sound
loud and clear throughout the streets of
Iran.
On a daily basis the leaders of Iran make
it very clear they will seek the destruction
of Israel and the annihilation of all infidels
around the world.
This evil is not Israel’s or the Jews’
problem; this is everyone’s problem. First
they come for us Jews, and then they’ll
come for you!
According to a July 2014 article in
the Daily Mail, there are approximately
250,000 Christians in Iran. All of them
face jail, torture, and even death under
Sharia law.
Homosexuals are routinely executed as
“immoral villains.”
Women are not allowed to drive, wear
normal clothing or even leave their houses
unless accompanied by a male relative. If
they are raped, them, and not their rapist
are stoned to death. Young girls are forced
into marriage with much older men. Others are kidnapped and sold as sex slaves.
The atrocities happening every day in
Iran make the dark ages look enlightened.
And yet we are willing to make a deal
with them.
People will tell you that it is either this
deal or war. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. In fact this deal makes war all
that more probable, as it gives Iran 150 billion dollars, money which will undoubtedly be used to increase their support of terrorism.
Some naïve folks believe the deal will
strengthen Iran’s moderates. While there
is no evidence to support the deal will influence that country’s foreign policy, I
ask, what moderates?
Continuing the sanctions and strangling
Iran’s economy is a much better strategy
than signing a deal that enables them to
develop nuclear weapons.
In 1938 the world stood by as an evil regime rose to power. Are we willing to let
history repeat itself? Have we not learned
from the painful lessons of the past?
Are we going to dismiss this lurking
monster as Israel’s problem?
To quote my friend Dennis Prager,
“This is not a right-left problem; this is a
right-wrong problem.”
Please take a stand. No deal is better
than a very bad one. I urge you to contact your representatives and tell them to
oppose this deplorable deal. You can call
them at (202) 225-3121.
My grandmother used to say “Dios no
le da alas a los alacranes” (God doesn’t
give wings to scorpions) – how I’d wish
our President and Secretary of State had
some of Mamá Angelita’s wisdom.

Road-Raged Red Neck
Juarez Femicide Trial Verdict
(con’t from page 2)
ra, who likely would have been on the stand
in the Juarez Valley trial had not the elderly man died in prison early last year after
reportedly suffering a severe illness. The
owner of a boot store, Chavira was arrested along with the rest of the defendants in
2013.
Insisting on Chavira’s innocence, de la
Rosa Hickerson demanded the clearing of
the deceased man’s name in a statement
posted on Arrobajuarez.com just prior to
the July 18 verdict.
“From the beginning we warned about
the little solid evidence collected by investigators,” the human rights specialist wrote.
De La Rosa continued: “We are not sticking our hands into the fire for the rest of the
accused, but we insist once more that Mr.
Victor Chavira, who was accused of depriving a young woman of her freedom and delivering her to a criminal organization under investigation, was accused based on the
testimony of a minor who first said that the
young victim was in the hands of a woman
who sold cigarettes in the city center, but
50 days later the same witness declared that
Don Victor Chavira was the one who delivered the victim.”
De la Rosa wrote that while he was employed by the CEDH he sent recommendations raising concerns about the Juarez Valley investigation to CEDH President Jose
Luis Armendariz but was ignored.
The defendants convicted in the Juarez
Valley trial included Vital “Don Meny”
Anguiano, Edgar Jesus Regalado Villa, Cesar Felix Romero Esparza, Jesus Hernandez
Martinez, and Jose Contreras Terrazas. Jose
Gerardo Puentes Alva was found innocent,
but the FGE could appeal the decision. Now
awaiting sentencing, the convicted men face
life in prison for their crimes.
Although dozens of women’s bodies and
remains have been found in the Juarez Valley dating back to the 1990s, eleven of the
more recent victims were the focus of the
trial.
The victims were identified as Jazmin
Salazar Ponce, Lizbeth Aviles Garcia, Monica Liliana Delgado Castillo, Beatriz Alejandra Hernandez Trejo, Jessica Terrazas
Ortega, Deysi Ramirez Munoz, Maria Guadalupe Perez Montes, Perla Ivonne Aguirre
Gonzalez, Idaly Juache Laguna, Jesica Leticia Pena Garcia, and Andrea Guerrero Venzor.
Relatives have described the victims as
loving, goal-oriented daughters who wanted to help support their families in a city
where basic survival can be a daunting task.
During the trial, some testimony was offered that young girls and women were essentially stalked and investigated by their
victimizers to determine if the families of
potential victims had sufficient financial resources to effectively pressure the authorities or were connected to law enforcement.

Guerra contra la discriminación institucional
(con’t de pag.6)
destruir décadas, tal vez siglos, de discriminación institucional. El matrimonio del mismo
sexo les permite no solamente establecer una familia con una persona que consideran su pareja
apropiada, sino que también les da los mismos
derechos que las personas heterosexuales.
Sin embargo, la discriminación institucional
no se destruye en las cortes nacionales. A este
tipo de discriminación se la hace desaparecer
en el Congreso por medio de un proyecto de
ley que asegure la igualdad de condiciones de
la gente y resguarde los derechos de los individuos.
La semana pasada, congresistas demócratas
en la Cámara de Representantes y en el Senado
presentaron el Acta de Igualdad, misma que enmendaría el Acta de Derechos Civiles de 1964
y permitiría la inclusión de los LGBT dentro de
los grupos discriminados. Es decir, aquellos que
son “discriminados por su orientación sexual”.
Sin este tipo de legislación, un empresario/
a puede, por cuestiones enteramente personales
o por supuestas razones afines a su negocio,
no contratar a una persona perteneciente a los
LGBT, a pesar de que esta persona reúna todas
las cualidades necesarias para desarrollar el tipo
de trabajo asignado.
Empero, lo anterior no quiere decir que este
tipo de legislaciones progresistas no puedan ser
aprobadas por los legisladores. Lo único que se
requiere es cambiar la tesitura del Congreso.
Por eso, en el momento de votar es importante
analizar cuáles de los candidatos están de acuerdo con una sociedad sin discriminación institucional.

Debate sobre “Ciudades Santuarios” para Inmigrantes Indocumentados
(cont’ de pag. 2)
Este incidente coincide con una nueva
ofensiva antiinmigrante, que comenzó
públicamente en junio cuando la comentarista
ultraconservadora Ann Coulter dijo al
periodista mexicano Jorge Ramos, durante
una entrevista para la cadena Fusion
(Univisión/Disney), que la cultura mexicana
era “deficiente”, y que los mexicanos al
llegar a Estados Unidos “traen con ellos su
cultura” y “eso incluye asesinatos por honor,
tíos violando a sus sobrinas, tirar basura, no
pagar impuestos y sobornar a autoridades
gubernamentales”. Días después de las
declaraciones de Coulter, el 16 de junio, el
multimillonario también ultraconservador
Donald Trump dijo en la apertura de su
campaña electoral como precandidato
presidencial republicano que los inmigrantes
mexicanos eran “criminales y violadores”,
lo cual desató una ola de críticas y boicots
contra Trump.
También en julio de 2015, el magnate
Rupert Murdoch, considerado un hombre de
derechas y propietario de la cadena televisiva
Fox, el diario The Wall Street Journal y de
otros 800 medios en 50 países, se sumó al
debate al corregir a Trump señalando que los
niveles de criminalidad de los inmigrantes,
son mucho más bajos que entre los nacidos
en Estados Unidos. Datos de distintas fuentes
parecen dar la razón a Murdoch, nacido en
Australia y nacionalizado estadounidense.
Rasmussen dio a conocer esta encuesta
el pasado 10 de julio de 2015, en la que
participaron mil votantes estadounidenses
que fueron entrevistados entre el 8 y el 9 de
julio. El sondeo tiene un margen de error de
+/- 3 puntos porcentuales con un nivel de
confianza de 95%.
El apoyo a las medidas legales fue
mayor entre votantes republicanos (79%)
e independientes (65%), mientras que
los demócratas (43%) representaron
un porcentaje mayor de lo esperado. El
respaldo a suspender la entrega de fondos
fue parecido entre los dos primeros grupos:
79% entre los republicanos y 61% entre los
independientes. Sin embargo, aumentó entre
los demócratas a 54%.
Por supuesto, el 84% de quienes apoyan
las medidas legales contra esas ciudades
también está de acuerdo con recortar los
fondos, mientras que el 80% de quienes se
oponen a las medidas legales también se
opone a recortar el dinero público.
Varias ciudades norteamericanas
importantes han sido declaradas “santuario”
de inmigrantes indocumentados, entre ellas
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Nueva
York, Filadelfia, Chicago, Denver, Houston,
Detroit y Washington D.C. El concepto
de “ciudad santuario” se hizo popular en
la década de los años 80 del siglo pasado,
cuando se produjeron las grandes olas
migratorias desde México y Centroamérica,
debido a fuertes crisis económicas y guerras
civiles que dejaron decenas de miles de
muertos.
La encuesta tocó también otro punto
importante: la impresión que los encuestados
tienen de los inmigrantes indocumentados.
En este sondeo, 53% piensa que la
inmigración ilegal aumenta el nivel de
crímenes serios en Estados Unidos, mientras
que 33% cree que no tiene efecto alguno en
la criminalidad.
Otro golpe de la encuesta al rostro de los
indocumentados fue que 63% piensa que en
estos momentos “es más importante tener
control de la frontera que legalizar el estatus
de trabajadores inmigrantes que viven en
Estados Unidos”. Según Rasmussen, este
es el mayor nivel de apoyo a la seguridad
fronteriza desde otra encuesta realizada en
diciembre de 2011.
Mientras tanto, 34% favorece las
órdenes ejecutivas del presidente Barack
Obama, encaminadas a proteger de la
deportación a por lo menos cinco millones de
indocumentados.
El Departamento de Justicia también
recibió sus golpes en el sondeo. El 56% de
los participantes piensa que ese organismo
federal “está más preocupado con la política
que con garantizar que se haga justicia”,
cuando investiga crímenes locales.

miles and turning it into out-of-this-world ice
cream in less than 24 hours.
