As has been widely reported, López has encountered anything but a smooth transition as she prepares to take over the office on March 12, 2007. The current Auditor, Larry Kaczala, whom López defeated on Nov. 7, 2006, has attempted, says the auditor-to-be, to protect the jobs of family and friends in the office by a variety of stalling tactics.

Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean joined with Ramona Martínez, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee’s Hispanic caucus in sending a letter to Por JULIE WATSON TULTITLAN, México (AP): Felipe Calderón espera mostrar a George W. Bush cuando visite México este mes que puede lograr la completa reforma migratoria que Washington no ha cumplido—no sólo con operativos en la frontera sino también creando un programa para trabajadores temporales y mejorando las condiciones para los centroamericanos. Calderón afirma que es posible una migración controlada, según reveló previo a la visita programada del presidente Bush los días 13 y 14 de marzo. Autoridades anunciaron la primera fase del plan la tarde del martes, prometiendo mejoras a los 48 centros de detención de inmigrantes, en respuesta a críticas de que a los centroamericanos se les niegan los mismos derechos que México exige para sus ciudadanos en Estados Unidos. “La frontera de México con Guatemala y Belice es un enorme foco rojo porque tenemos una frontera sur porosa con muy poco control de acceso de quienes vienen de Centroamérica y otras regiones por esa parte del país”, reconoció Florencio Salazar, subsecretario de asuntos migratorios de la Secretaría de Gobernación (Departamento del Interior). Calderón también presionará al Congreso mexicano para tipificar la inmigración ilegal como una infracción civil en vez de un crimen, expresó Salazar. Los republicanos en el Congreso de Estados Unidos han decidido ir en dirección contraria, buscando dar un tratamiento de criminales a los indocumentados. “De la misma forma que exigimos el respeto a los derechos humanos de nuestros paisanos, tenemos la responsabilidad ética, legal, de respetar los derechos humanos y la dignidad de quienes provienen de Centro y Sudamérica y cruzan por nuestra frontera sur”, expresó Calderón a los pocos días de haber asumido la presidencia. Bush respalda el llamado de México para un acuerdo migratorio que permita que mexicanos busquen visas temporales de trabajo, pero el Congreso contempla votar Mel Martínez, the Republican chairman, that asked him to “put a halt to the events.” The game is a variation of hide-and-seek. One player poses as an undocumented immigrant, and everyone else tries to find that person. The winner usually gets a prize. Tracy Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said, “We find these activities both egregious and offensive and condemn them wholeheartedly.” But she noted the College Republicans are independent of the committee, and “We do not control their activities.” Democrats sent a similar letter to Chairman Martínez’s predecessor, Ken Mehlman, in September, noting that college Republicans were holding similar “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” events in Pennsylvania and Texas. The Republican group condemned the activities at the time. U.S. Congress honors Richards with resolution Feb. 27, 2007 (AP): The late Texas Gov. Ann Richards was honored Tuesday with a resolution passed by members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz introduced the bill in late 2006, but it was not considered before Congress adjourned in December. Richards, Texas’ second female governor, died in September 2006 after battling esophageal cancer. She served one term as Texas governor and was defeated in 1994 by George W. Bush, who later became president. During her term, she made nearly 3,000 appointments, 46 percent female, 15 percent black, 20 percent Hispanic and 2 percent Asian. “Growing up as a son of migrant workers in segregated South Texas, I was painfully aware of the power dynamic in place that placed those of privilege high above the working poor,” Ortiz said in a statement on the House floor in Washington, D.C.. “Ann Richards sought to turn that tide. During her service as governor of Texas, she appointed more females and minorities than any other governor by far.” Writers, Cartoonists, et al.

Washington también ha exhortado a México a hacer más para detener a los centroamericanos que se trepan a trenes de carga y que se conectan con la extensa red de traficantes de personas para ingresar ilegalmente a Estados Unidos. Y Michael Chertoff, secretario de Seguridad Interior, dijo que el gobierno del presidente Bush se ha ofrecido a asesorar a México en formas para asegurar su frontera sur. México informó que detuvo a 182.705 inmigrantes ilegales el año anterior, una pequeña fracción de más del millón de indocumentados que, tras cruzar su frontera, atrapó Estados Unidos. Calderón ve todo esto como un problema de ley y orden: Las pandillas centroamericanas operan en ambos lados de la frontera que México comparte con Guatemala, robando a migrantes y contrabandeando con drogas, y los migrantes también son maltratados por la policía mexicana y los funcionarios de inmigración. El año anterior, 187 funcionarios mexicanos de inmigración fueron disciplinados, la mayoría por “falta de respeto a los derechos humanos”, dijo Cecilia Romero, la máxima funcionario. Los planes de su departamento son “eliminar por completo esta terrible situación”, mejorando el acceso a abogados y defensores de derechos humanos y prohibir que indocumentados sean retenidos en cárceles comunes, entre otras reformas. México hopes to do what Washington has not: Control migration, start Guestworker program TULTITLAN, Feb. 28, 2007 (AP): President Felipe Calderón hopes to accomplish the sweeping immigration reform Washington has failed to adopt—not just cracking down on the southern border but also creating a guestworker program and improving conditions for undocumented Central American migrants. Proving that controlled, regulated migration is possible is the immediate political goal of Calderón, who is Felipe Calderón unveiling the ambitious reforms shortly before President Bush visits México on March 13-14, 2007. Calderón’s migration agency announced the first phase Tuesday, pledging improvements to 48 detention centers in response to criticism that undocumented Central American migrants are denied the respect México demands for its citizens in the U.S. The Interior Department said it will soon reveal details of its Safe Southern Border Program to move against undocumented crossers, violent gangs in the border zone and abuse of migrants by authorities throughout México. “We have a porous, southern border with little control of who comes in from Central America and other regions,” acknowledged Florencio Salazar, the department’s deputy secretary of migration affairs. Calderón also will push México’s Congress to make being undocumented a civil violation, rather than a crime, Salazar said. By contrast, Republicans in the U.S. Congress have sought to treat undocumented migrants as felons. The president also has promised a more formal guest-worker program for Central Americans. “Just as we demand respect for the human rights of our countrymen, we have the ethical and legal responsibility to respect the human rights and the dignity of those who come from Central and South America and who cross our southern border,” Calderón has said. Details have not been released, but experts expect an expansion of México’s seasonal farm worker program, which issues at least 40,000 temporary visas a year, mostly to Guatemalans. Most work in coffee plantations in southern Chiapas state, and many often face problems over pay, medical care and housing. Migration experts say Calderón wants to stop those abuses while also allowing (Continued on Page 14) STATEMENT ON LA PRENSA READERSHIP La Prensa Newspaper has been publishing since 1989 and prints 12,000 issues of its weekly, bilingual issue as can be verified by calling our printer Michigan Web of Lapeer MI at 810-664-7403.

Months after being deported to Juárez, México, Luis Carranza’s mother was permitted to return to the U.S. to be with her son until his death Thursday at his grandparents’ home in El Paso, Child Protective Services officials said. Protective services and the mother had shared custody of Luis. NASHVILLE, Tenesí (AP): El gobernador Phil Bredesen viajará a Arizona el jueves para ver a la Guardia Nacional de Tenesí en acción a lo largo de la frontera con México. Unos 800 guardias del estado se encuentran destacamentados en Arizona y se irán rotando cada cierto tiempo. Es la mayor cantidad de efectivos enviados por una entidad, indicó Bredesen. “El ver la situación allá abajo de primera mano es simplemente una parte esencial del proceso de toma de decisiones”, señaló el funcionario. Hay aproximadamente 6.000 soldados de la Guardia Nacional que proporcionan apoyo logístico a la patrulla fronteriza. El secretario de Seguridad Interior, Michael Chertoff, dijo que los soldados han provocado que el número de intentos para cruzar la frontera disminuya dramáticamente. Pero un encuentro entre cuatro guardias de Tenesí y un grupo de hombres armados no identificados— en el cual ninguna de las partes hizo disparos—a lo largo de la frontera mexicana en Arizona el mes pasado generó interrogantes en torno a las reglas que regulan dicho tipo de situaciones. De seis a ocho pistoleros—que probablemente se dirigían a México con dinero producto del tráfico de drogas—se acercaron a los soldados en un puesto de observación nocturna el 3 de enero. Nadie disparó, y el enfrentamiento concluyó cuando los efectivos estadounidenses se retiraron para ponerse en contacto con la patrulla fronteriza. Entonces los pistoleros huyeron hacia México. Bredesen ha hecho caso omiso de las exhortaciones de legisladores en Arizona y Tenesí para que permitan que la guardia pueda participar La Prensa is in need of sales & distribution personnel throughout Michigan, Ohio, & Indiana. If you want to make extra $$, contact Rico at 313-729-4435 or 419-870-6565. en confrontaciones armadas a lo largo de la frontera, y considera que dichos llamados son “políticos”. “No hubo ningún deseo de emplearlos (a los soldados de la Guardia) en operaciones directas para hacer cumplir la ley, en el sentido de rastrear a la gente y arrestarla”, señaló Bredesen tras un discurso el sábado ante la Guardia estatal en Nashville. “(El gobierno) tenía muchas ganas de tener observadores y personas para vigilar la frontera y poner a los agentes de inmigración en la pista de personas que estaban cruzando ilegalmente”, agregó. El general de división Gus Hargett, principal comandante de la Guardia de Tenesí, dijo que el pedirle a la guardia que se involucre en confrontaciones armadas es “una mala idea” que podría militarizar la frontera con México. “Luis was a remarkable boy, and I don’t think anybody around here will forget him soon,” child services spokesman Greg Cunningham said. “He showed incredible strength to hang on for so long. That really inspired a lot of people here.” Luis’ death came less than two years after his mother, Guadalupe Carranza, first brought him to Lubbock where hospital charity workers arranged for free bus tickets to come for treatment. Carranza was reported to the state after she was late for a few appointments and was later deported. As the boy’s condition worsened and a do-not-resuscitate order was granted, several people, including his doctors, attorneys, and even a judge contacted U.S. border officials, Mexican authorities and members of Congress to bring Carranza to her son’s side. In October, a judge allowed Carranza to cross the border and be with her son. An attorney in the case said that despite Luis’ condition, he seemed to sense his mother presence. “We all knew he was suffering and we’re all confident that he’s gone to a better place,” Cunningham said. Bodies of two México residents found in separate incidents TUCSON, AZ, Mar. 1, 2007 (AP): The bodies of two México residents have been found in Southern Arizona in separate incidents, according to authorities. On Tuesday, two undocumented immigrants flagged down a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle on the Tohono O’odham Nation saying they had left behind someone on the trail who had become ill. Agents retraced the men’s journey and found the man dead. Tribal police said the 40year-old man from Oaxaca may have been diabetic since needles and insulin were found in his backpack. On Sunday, a man studying jaguar populations in the Coronado National Forest found the body of a 37-year old woman from Oaxaca. Santa Cruz County Sher- iff Antonio Estrada said the woman apparently died of hypothermia and there were no signs of foul play. Estrada said it was the first known death of an undocumented immigrant in Santa Cruz County this year. The names of the two victims have not been released yet.

East Quad Auditorium of the Residential College of UM, Ann Arbor, MI. “A Rose of Two Scents” is undoubtedly one of the most frequently performed comedies in the world. Czechoslovakia, Spain, France, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, and México are just some of the many countries that have acclaimed this play. Theme: “Two women meet in the waiting room of a jail. One of them is cultured and refined. Enjoys reading a good book. Speaks English and French. The other one is extroverted, vulgar, and speaks in slang. Owns a beauty parlor. Both are there to pay bail …. the first, for her husband, and the second, for her lover.” This subtle comedy, with deep themes and interesting plot twists, remains current today in spite of having been written more than two decades ago, thanks to the playwright’s masterful weaving of his characters’ contradictory complexity. Tickets are $10 in advance (general admission).

By CONNIE MABIN Associated Press Writer MACEDONIA, OH, Mar. 2, 2007 (AP): For years, Lent meant huge chunks of fried fish on Fridays for George Ehrman, a longtime parishioner at Our Lady of Guadalupe in this northeast Ohio town. But the dinner plate was decidedly lighter for Ehrman at a recent Friday fish fry in the bustling parish hall: omega-3 filled grilled salmon, fiber-rich rice pilaf found out they were offering this for the first time,’’ said Ehrman, whose health requires him to eat a low-sodium diet, low-fat diet. “It’s very tasty, too.’’ Parishes have long used the Roman Catholic abstention from meat on Fridays during the Lenten season to hold fish fries that bring people together and raise money. Now with more people trying to live a healthy lifestyle, many churches are offering lighter Lenten fare, including grilled shrimp, There’s still plenty of battered cod, haddock and other types of seafood submerged in greasy oil. And there still are servings of potato-stuffed pierogies, macaroni and cheese, french fries or other heavy side dishes on parish menus. But reduced-fat Lenten menus are popping up across the nation. Milwaukee’s St. Florian Church lists “heart-healthy baked fish” alongside its famous beer-battered fillets. St. (Continued on Page 5) ¿Problemas de inmigración? ¡Nosotros ofrecemos soluciones!

Not your papá’s fish fry (Continued from Page 4) Ferdinand’s in Florissant, Mo., near St. Louis offers baked cod and blackened Cajun-style fish. In Cincinnati, St. Paul’s offers sauteed vegetables and tomato soup. At St. Irenaeus in Oakmont, Pa., near Pittsburgh, the parish has added baked fish, fresh tuna and a salad bar. Like many restaurants, it stopped using arteryclosing transfats for frying. Volunteers change the deep fryer’s oil after each batch and blot each piece of fried fish dry of extra grease. “We really baby it,’’ said Jeanne Kaus, who has volunteered for 25 years at the fry that draws 500 people a week. ``We have a fresh salad bar and we have hearthealthy baked fish.’’ Does the baked stuff go over well? “Oh gosh, yeah!’’ she said. “It just melts in your mouth.’’ Jananne Finck, who teaches nutrition and wellness at the University of Illinois Extension in Springfield Center, said that even with the healthier Lenten options many Catholics may feel married to tradition and opt for fried fish, particularly if they don’t eat many fried foods at home. That’s OK, she said, as long as fried foods are a rare treat, diners skip fatty condiments such as tarter sauce, and portions are small. “It’s telling yourself even if you’re served that, even if we grew up with, ‘Clean your plate,’ it’s probably in our best interest to take some of that home,” Finck said. Paula Turocy, chairwoman of the athletic training department at the Duquesne University, a Catholic school in Pittsburgh, said worshippers who choose lighter menus during Lent might unexpectedly find themselves forming healthier habits by Easter. “If this positive behavior can be maintained for six weeks, these new healthier behaviors can assist them in making a long-term commitment to improved health,’’ she said.

One of those will be Jim Gant, a lawyer in the City of Toledo’s Law Department who will be the Auditor’s HR Director/ General Counsel. Gant is African-American, a matter of no small concern to López who notes that among the current cabinet in the Auditor’s Office, there is “no diversity among the decision makers – in the real estate section, yes, but not at the top.” The Auditor’s Office is a sizeable move up for López with its 150 or so employees (“I literally have not been able to get a straight answer about how many employees are over there”). The Recorder’s Office has 16 employees. ¿Te gustaría tener un cartoon de ti o de tus amigos? —de parte de Davide García ¡¿Qué esperas?!

Javier di a Rico au Qualifications La Prensa asked López why she felt qualified for the job given her lack of accounting background. “I think I’m qualified, number one, by virtue of the fact of my ability to understand legally how to operate,” she says. “It’s the enforcement of the law that matters and my legal background helps me understand [the issues.] In addition, my years as an administrator have prepared me to understand how to get the job done. My ability to take responsibility and my talent at holding people’s feet to the fire. “I’m not going to be in the office crunching numbers but I can orchestrate the abilities of others who do that.” Chief among her tasks will be to focus on the issue of property valuation, a subject she devoted much time during her campaign holding the incumbent’s feet to the fire. “We have to revamp the system,” she says promising to stay personally involved in such matters. Indeed the board of revisions deadline, she mentions, is on March 31, 2007, and she is already encouraging homeowners who have questions about their properties’ value to contact her office at 419213-4412 or 419-213-4406. The board of revision’s telephone number is 419-2134464. The move to the Auditor’s Office marks the most recent transition for López, who has encountered criticism in recent years due to her failure to finish a term in elective office – even as she continues to win elections. She was elected to the Toledo Board of Education in 2002, ran for and was elected to the Lucas County Recorder’s Office in 2004 and ran, in 2006, for Auditor. What’s the next move, we asked jokingly? “I promise the public, my husband and my mother that I will finish my four years here,” López responds with a laugh. Cl admits López, is the fact that she has had some personal history of financial struggles and she has learned lessons from those difficult times that are not easily forgotten or dismissed. As a college and law student, for example, she had to overcome some hardships in making ends meet and getting through school. Some of those hardships were brought to light during the recent campaign by her opponent as a way to discredit her. “I was so poor in college that they couldn’t even garnish my wages,” she recalls also noting that her opponent managed to cast the roles of the two candidates as one of “borderline corruption versus struggling girl.” Ultimately, the voters could relate to her economic struggles, she says, and “people know that I will never forget those struggles in the administration of my office.” But even before she has had the opportunity to assume her new duties, she has encountered struggles. First, a number of non-supervisory employees decided to join a bargaining unit. Then, as she questioned the fact that the jobs of current Auditor’s family and friends were being protected, communication and cooperation shut down completely. López attributes part of those difficulties to the fact that Kaczala was anticipating a judicial appointment in the waning days of the Bob Taft administration. Most of his friends and family would have gone with him. When the appointment failed to materialize, his friends and family attempted, in large measure, to lock down their jobs in the Auditor’s Office. López was particularly incensed when she discovered that managers in the Auditor’s Office were hiring their offspring for intern positions, even for relatively low wages of nine dollars per hour. “What we have here are two worlds colliding,” she says. “I told them ‘do you know how many people there are who could change their families’ lives with this position?’ I said ‘there’s a student at UT now trying to live on Ramen Noodles every day who would love to have a nine dollar an hour job and whose dad doesn’t make $99,000 per year.’” That situation has improved recently, says López, as she has clearly stated her intentions not to permit such cronyism to continue and she feels that she is somewhat back on track with her transition plans. “Citizens are entitled to people who are dedicated and looking out for their well-being,” she says of what she expects in a staff. “Each individual will be held accountable to do their job and do it well – union, nonunion, my cabinet. We are going to weed out those who don’t. If there is cleansing to be done, I won’t shy away from it.

The twelve players come from different countries, including: Brazil, Trinidad, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, the United States, and France. Players selected from the United States reside in Texas, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio. The ages of these players range from 12-15. Each of the twelve student-athletes have been scouted either through the PSA ID Camps or assessed from the PSA England Tour and PSA Bolivia Tour. Five of the student-athletes were part of the PSA Bolivia Team that competed in the Tahuichi Mundialito Cup held in Bolivia earlier in 2007. Teams such as Chivas (México), San Paolo (Brazil), Danubio (Uruguay), and Tahuichi were participants. “This was a great competition for PSA to be involved in, and for myself and the coaching staff it served as the proper environment to assess each player during an international tournament,” said Desmond Armstrong, a scout for PSA. The total number of student-athletes for the inaugural 2007/2008 academic year is anticipated to top out at 24 even though the maximum for the residential component is 30. “Because of the uniqueness of PSA being the first professional-style youth academy in America that accepts players from all parts of the globe, we want to make sure that we offer enough opportunities by which players can show their ability. Recently, we have established a scout- Julie Neller Picknell ing network in Tennessee, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and California,” said Armstrong. Armstrong and members of the PSA scout team will be attending the multiple PSA ID Camps and PSA Fever 5 Fútbol Tournaments scheduled for June, 2007. It is anticipated that final selections for the yearround academy positions will be completed at the conclusion of the Ohio – PSA ID Camp scheduled for the week of June 25th.

Atlas, en tanto, superó 1-0 a Veracruz con gol de penal del chileno Reinaldo Navia y se mantuvo como líder general con 17 puntos, mientras que Pumas venció 1-0 al Monterrey y posiblemente le dio la estocada final al técnico de los Rayados, Miguel Herrera. En Guadalajara, las Chivas mantuvieron su buen paso en el torneo al doblegar 2-0 al Querétaro. Omar Bravo cobró un penal a los 25 y Ramón Morales envió a la red un tiro libre a los 31 para el actual campeón del fútbol mexicano, que ahora suma cinco juegos en fila sin derrota. En Chiapas, Tigres se impuso 3-2 sobre Jaguares para lograr su primer triunfo a domicilio en casi un año. López marcó el gol del triunfo a los 24 minutos, con un soberbio tiro desde más atrás de la medialuna que pasó por encima de la barrera y se incrustó en el ángulo derecho del arco defendido por el portero Jesús Corona. En Monterrey, el defensa Israel Castro sentenció el resultado con el único gol del partido a los 66 minutos. Rayados no gana desde la primera fecha del torneo y marcha último en el Grupo 2 y penúltimo en la tabla general. Atlante, por su parte, goleó 3-0 al Necaxa con dianas de Christian Bermúdez, el uruguayo Gustavo Biscayzacú y el argentino Javier Muñoz. Los Hidrorrayos suman cinco juegos consecutivos sin ganar en el torneo local, aunque llevan dos triunfos al hilo en la Copa Libertadores. Francisco Fonseca y el paraguayo Julio César Cáceres remecieron las redes en la victoria de Tigres ante Jaguares. El argentino Javier Cámpora anotó los dos goles del club de Chiapas y se colocó como máximo artillero del campeonato con seis tantos. Emmanuel Cerda hizo la otra diana del equipo de Monterrey. Tigres llevaba 14 partidos, desde el 26 de marzo del 2006, sin ganar fuera de su estadio. Cámpora abrió el marcador a los 13 minutos al aprovechar el rebote en la espalda de un defensor después de un remate de Santiago Salcedo. Tres minutos después empató Cerda tras un buen pase del argentino Walter Gaitán dentro del área. Cáceres hizo su primer gol en el fútbol mexicano a los 28 minutos con un cabezazo en tiro de esquina de Javier Saavedra; “Kikín” Fonseca aumentó la diferencia a los 34 con un pase de Aldo de Nigris que lo dejó solo en el corazón del área; y Cámpora descontó a los 43. El domingo (4 de marzo de 2007) América se mide con Pachuca (Pachuca ganó, 1-0), Toluca con San Luis, y Santos con Morelia (Santos ganó, 2-1).

Sin embargo, el destino sí pudo unirlas precisamente en esa ciudad para filmar la historia visual del tema.

The one-year pilot program will allow approved Mexican trucks to deliver their goods beyond the 2025-mile border zone for the first time since 1982. Since that time, Mexican trucks that cross the border have been required to unload their cargo at warehouses in cities such as Nogales. The cargo is then transferred to a U.S. truck that transports it to its destination. The program was originally authorized by the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement but was delayed more than 12 years due to concerns that Mexican trucks weren’t safe. Government officials and border trade alliances say the program will streamline the flow of goods across the border and enhance U.S. and Mexican economies. The process of unloading Mexican cargo at U.S. warehouses along the border “is a waste of time, energy and money, and that is about to change,” said Mary Peters, U.S. Department of Transportation secretary, who was in Nogales on Friday to make the announcement. “Now that the safety and security programs are in place, the time has come for us to move forward on a long-standing promise with México.” Critics question the measures taken to ensure safety of Mexican trucks and worry about the potential • Mon - Sat 9:00AM - 9:00PM • Sun 9:00AM - 6:00PM Mexican Village Restaurant & Grocery • Menudo y Barbacoa on Weekends • Jesse Noriega 419-943-3858 131 E.

Selected Mexican companies will be given certificates its drivers can show at the ports of entry that will allow them to drive into the interior. However, the trucks will still be subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, said Michael P. Jackson, deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. “From the perspective of security, this initiative is absolutely consistent with our firm commitment to having the strongest security at our borders,” Jackson said. Peters said U.S. officials will choose as many as 100 Mexican companies from 800 that have signed up for the pilot program. Inspectors will conduct on-site audits of the companies to ensure their trucks and drivers meet all U.S. safety and security requirements, according to Peters who added that the federal government has 540 trained inspectors ready.

March/marzo 9, 2007 Guestworker program (Continued from Page 2) Central Americans to work in the construction and service industries in the south. Bush supports México’s call for a U.S. immigration accord allowing Mexicans to seek temporary U.S. work visas, but Congress has instead voted to harden the border and increase security. Washington also has urged México to do more to stop Central and South Americans who hop freight trains north and head for the United States. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the Bush administration has offered to advise México on securing its southern border. México said it detained 182,705 undocumented migrants last year; the United States caught more than a million people crossing México’s northern border without documentation. Calderón sees it as a lawand-order problem: Central American gangs operate on both sides of México’s border with Guatemala, robbing migrants and running drugs, and migrants also are mistreated by Mexican police and immigration officials. Last year, 187 migration officials were disciplined, said Cecilia Romero, México’s top immigration official. Her department’s plan aims “to entirely eliminate this terrible situation” by improving detainees’ access to lawyers and human rights defenders and prohibiting undocumented migrants from being held in common jails. “It’s harder to go through México than getting into the U.S.,” said Richard Garcia, a Honduran waiting for a northbound train in this industrial hub outside México City. “At least in the U.S. they just pick you up and return you. Here you get robbed, beat up.” Garcia, 31, said at least a dozen men from his Atlantic coast village of Triunfo de la Cruz have lost limbs riding trains across México. Riding with him this time was Dilcia Ortiz, a 27-yearold mother of four from Tela, Honduras who was trying to reach her husband in New York City.

Adalis said nothing would stop him from meeting his family in Houston _ even the chance to work legally in México. “If México wants us to work here, then they have to pay in dollars,” he said. Garcia said he would consider joining a Mexican guest-worker program, “but I still don’t understand why México cares.” “We’re passing through. We don’t affect anything. It’s obvious they’re just trying to please Washington,” he said. “They should let us through so we don’t have to die falling off a train.

If you realize there is a whole new world opening up to you, you will learn to experiment, laugh at the failures, and enjoy the successes. At first, I think we all have a similar reaction. “What do you mean I can’t have anything made with flour?!” “I might as well lie down now so I don’t fall over from starvation.” Then, after we calm down, we find help. We find each other and the many internet resources, organizations, and support groups. We exchange information, stories, recipes, and ideas with others like ourselves. Celiac Disease is manageable.
