Algunos residentes de Murrieta, California protestan la llegada de más de 100 inmigrantes, siendo traídos a su comunidad de Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (foto inferior), que no había participado en el movimiento de los inmigrantes, se encontró él mismo en medio de la protesta. “No importa de donde seán estos niños.

A young boy’s clothing is what helped Sheriff officials identify Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez who was found dead in a brush last month after crossing the Mexico and USA border. Some Murrieta, Calif. residents are protesting the arrival of over 100 immigrants, being flown in to their community from Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (lower picture) who had not been involved with the immigrant movement, founded himself in the middle of the protest. “It doesn’t matter where the children are from. Children automatically deserve respect. I cannot kick out a child from anywhere. I think that is inhumane,” Rivera told Fox News Latino.

La nueva ruta de autobús viene directo aquí y estamos en una de las calles principales para entrar a la zona. Creo que los nuevos negocios y la ruta del autobús traerá más gente a nuestro restaurante”, dijo Morales. Él ha estado en el negocio de alimentos durante unos 30 años. “Trabajamos para la comunidad hispana. Ofrecemos banquetes para quinceañeras, bodas, fiestas de cumpleaños, y podemos cocinar comida americana, italiana y mexicana, lo que el cliente quiera”, afirmó. Él ya está empezando a ver caras nuevas todos los días. Él siente que el negocio está creciendo de boca en boca y el acceso que otros ahora tienen a la zona. Los precios razonables del restaurante y el servicio rápido atraen a muchos empleados del ferrocarril, el banco y los consultorios médicos, deteniéndose para tomar un bocado rápido. “Me gusta cocinar y atender a los clientes. En este momento somos el único restaurante de comida mexicana en Argentine. Realmente me encanta lo que hago”, dijo. Además de proporcionar acceso a una alimentación sana, restaurantes, necesidades bancarias y la biblioteca, ahora los residentes tanto en Rosedale y Argentine tienen fácil acceso al Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas para todas sus necesidades de atención médica. “Esta nueva ruta le llevará directamente desde Argentine o Rosedale, al Centro Médico KU y a la línea del condado donde se conecta con el sistema de autobuses del Condado de Johnson”, dijo la Comisionada del 3er Distrito, Ann Murguía. Daniel Serda, designado en febrero por el Alcalde Mark Holland a la Junta de Comisionados de ATA, montó el autobús desde su barrio Rosedale a Emerson Park en Argentine en Kansas City, Kansas, la semana pasada. “Un gran mayoría de los residentes de la comunidad de Chef Miguel Morales opened his restaurant at 32nd and Strong in January. As new businesses come into the Argentine neighborhood, he has seen new customers come through his door. He’s been in the food business for almost 30 years. Morales moved his restaurant from the Johnson County into Wyandotte County. He likes the friendliness of the Argentine Community. El chef Miguel Morales abrió su restaurante en la calle 32 ª con Strong Avenue, en enero. A medida que nuevas empresas entren en el barrio Argentine, el ha visto nuevos clientes atravesar las puertas de su negocio. Él ha estado en el negocio de alimentos desde hace casi 30 años. Morales trasladó su restaurante del condado de Johnson a el condado de Wyandotte. A él le gusta la amabilidad de la comunidad del Argentine. Rosedale no tienen acceso a un coche. Con el fin de llegar a una tienda de comestibles o ir a una cita con su médico, los residentes tenían que pagar a los vecinos o tomar un taxi. Esta nueva línea de autobús resuelve esa cuestión. Ahora pueden tomar el autobús justo a la puerta de una tienda de comestibles. Pueden viajar en el autobús para ir a citas con el médico. Esta es la primera vez para este tipo de línea de autobús en el Condado de Wyandotte”, dijo Serda. En la presentación de la nueva línea de autobús, Mark Huffer, Gerente General de Kansas City ATA, dijo que era la primera vez en una década que una nueva ruta de autobús se ha añadido en Kansas City, Kansas. Heidi Holliday, Directora Ejecutiva de la Asociación de Desarrollo de Rosedale, (RDA por sus siglas en inglés) elogió la nueva línea que aumenta el acceso de los residentes de Rosedale al empleo, alimentación y educación por medio de la biblioteca. “Disminuye el aislamiento de las personas que no tienen acceso a un transporte fiable”, dijo Holliday. La tienda Wal-Mart se encuentra todavía en proceso de contratación. Las personas interesadas en solicitar empleo pueden hacerlo en el centro de contratación temporal ubicado en el número 2414 S de la calle 34, Suites B y C en Kansas City, Kansas. La nueva ruta de autobús puede llevar fácilmente a los empleados a sus puestos de trabajo en el lugar de venta. Holliday y Erin Stryka, también con RDA, se reunió con los residentes de Rosedale en las reuniones públicas llevadas a cabo para ayudar a diseñar una ruta que beneficiara a los residentes. “Heidi y Erin hicieron todo el trabajo en esta iniciativa con la ayuda de Mario Escobar, de Corporación de Mejoramiento del Argentine (ABC por sus siglas en inglés). Me mantuvieron informado y cuando estaba listo, lo tomé e hice que avanzara hacia adelante a través de la comisión. Yo presioné durante las audiencias de presupuesto y la comisión dijo que por supuesto. Esto es lo de lo que nos tratamos, una comunidad saludable”, dijo la Comisionada Murguía. El Gerente General de KCATA, Mark Huffer dijo, “Aplaudimos a los ciudadanos de estos barrios por trabajar para llevar el servicio de tránsito a sus barrios, facilitando el acceso a las oportunidades importantes para los residentes y empleados de la zona.” KCATA buses are clearly marked for residents who want to travel from Rosedale/Argentine neighborhoods. I think the new businesses and the bus route will bring more people to our restaurant,” said Chef Miguel Morales. Los Autobuses KCATA están claramente marcados para los residentes que quieran viajar desde los barrios Rosedale/Argentine. Creo que los nuevos negocios y la ruta del autobús traerá más gente a nuestro restaurante,” dijo el Chef Miguel Morales. CONT./PAGE 1 “The Argentine neighborhood is the right choice for us. The new bus route comes right by here and we are on one of the main streets coming into the area. I think the new businesses and the bus route will bring more people to our restaurant,” said Morales. He has been in the food business for about 30 years. “We work for the Spanish community. We cater quinceañeras, weddings, birthday parties, and we can cook American, Italian and Mexican food, whatever the customer wants,” he stated. He is already beginning to see new faces every day. He feels that business is growing by word of mouth and the access others now have to the area. The restaurant’s reasonable prices and quick service have many employees from the railroad, the bank and doctors office, stopping in to grab a quick bite. “I enjoy cooking and visiting with the customers. Right now we are the only Mexican food restaurants in Argentine. I truly love what I do,” he said. Besides providing access to healthy food, restaurants, banking needs and the library, now residents in both Rosedale and Argentine have easy access to the University of Kansas Medical Center for all their health care needs.

The Wal-Mart store is still in the process of hiring. People interested in applying for employment may do so at the temporary hiring center located at 2414 South 34th Street, Suites B&C in Kansas City, Kansas. The new bus route can easily get employees to their jobs at the retail site. Holliday and Erin Stryka, also with RDA, met with Rosedale residents at public meetings held to help design a route that would benefit the residents. “Heidi and Erin did all the work on this initiative with the help of Mario Escobar of Argentine Betterment Corporation (ABC). They kept me informed and when it was ready, I took it and moved it forward through the commission. I lobbied for it during budget hearings and the commission said absolutely. This is what we are all about … a healthy community,” said Commissioner Murguia. KCATA General Manager Mark Huffer said, “We applaud the citizens of these neighborhoods for working to bring transit service to their neighborhoods, providing important access to opportunities for area residents and employees.” Annual 1951 Flood Reunion Dance Pierson Hall Mercado en Central Avenue Celebrate Local Art! “This new route will take you directly from Argentine or Rosedale, to KU Med Center and to the county line where it connects to the Johnson County bus system,” said Commissioner Ann Murguia, 3rd District. Daniel Serda, appointed by Mayor Mark Holland in February to the ATA Board of Commissioners, rode the bus from his Rosedale neighborhood to Emerson Park in Argentine in Kansas City, Kansas last week. “A high majority of residents in the Rosedale community do not have access to a car. In order to get to a grocery store or go to their doctor’s appointment, residents had to pay neighbors or take a taxi. This new bus line resolves that issue. They now can take the bus right to the door of a grocery store. They can ride the bus to doctor appointments. This is a first for this kind of bus line in Wyandotte County,” said Serda. At the unveiling of the new bus line, Mark Huffer, general manager, Kansas City ATA, said it was the first time in about a decade that a new bus route has been added in Kansas City, Kansas. Heidi Holliday, executive director of the Rosedale Development Association, (RDA) praised the new line for increasing Rosedale resident’s access to employment, food and education through the library.

Organizers bring in leaders and experts in the field to address questions and provide strategies for dealing with issues associated with heart disease. “One of the most amazing things I run into all the time is people that don’t want to admit that they have heart disease, or they have someone that they know that has heart disease,” Smith explained. “When we have these kinds of events we do it in a fun manner so that people can have that aha! moment. You know that moment maybe resonates with them.” Smith noted that the emphasis of the workshop discussion is prevention. “Heart disease is one of those things that we can prevent. Although we do have some risk factors we can’t control such as our age, our race, our family history, there are many more that we can control,” she emphasized. “Our ideal is that we bring them in a fun place where you may be more open to admitting that you may have heart disease or you may have the risk factors.” Christina Hernandez, workforce development manager with GCI, attended last year’s event and felt that it needed to be reintroduced to a broader audience. “I think the audience there last year was learning, however it a was a smaller audience and it was a great event,” she recalled. “I thought we needed to have this happen on an annual basis at least. Getting that health education out there is critical, not only to ourselves but our community at large.” Tru–Kecha Smith Hernandez noted that women often are the last ones to seek medical attention. “They are the ones that take care of others. So with [heart disease] being the number one killer for females, I think it is critical that we have that education and pass that on to our daughters, our grand daughters, our neighbors and take care of ourselves in better ways so that we can take care of everyone else.” Jaclyn Acosta, registered nurse at TMC, talked with Hispanic News about the importance of the issue in the Hispanic community, specifically when it comes to diet and exercise. “When we are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, it can be difficult because a lot of the food that could be heart healthy can be more expensive. … As a young child there was also more activity then there is today for the children there is more a sedentary lifestyle with all of the gadgets [like] phones and Ipads. I remember as a little girl playing outside until it got dark, so it has changed,” she said. Preventative health is a key in combating heart disease. Acosta pointed out that heart disease is labeled as the silent killer for a reason – heart disease left untreated can lead to heart failure, which can be life threatening. “If you are waiting for signs or symptoms to go to the doctor, that is something very dangerous,” she stated. “You need to be on top of it and know your numbers like your blood pressure. Take care of yourself and things that you can have control over like your lifestyle, activity, diet, and smoking and excessive alcohol use. These are things you can control to help lower your risk of heart disease.” Acosta added that in the Latino community people are less disposed to seek out medical help unless it is an emergency, which can contribute to added expenses in higher prescriptions prices as people deal with conditions that may have been alleviated by better life choices. “In our community we are probably not the best sometimes at taking care of ourselves. We definitely take care of others, but maybe not ourselves and when we have families it can be difficult,” she said. Youth is not a refuge from heart disease. Acosta referenced a fellow worker who is only 27 and is dealing with heart issues. “It doesn’t matter how young and healthy you think you are. You want to be on top of knowing what your risk factors are and what your numbers are.” friend. “My father had heart surgery and heart dysfunction runs in our family on my father’s side. I am here to learn a little more about that along with stroke. … “I thought it would be nice to come and see what kind of information is being presented.” Hernandez could be a poster child for the proactive approach that Acosta and Smith encouraged. “I actually go to the website and get recipes and stuff like that. … Just the information is really good to try and share with people,” she explained. “Sometimes when you are a busy person, it is hard to fit things in but I think if you try slowly and gradually you might meet that expectation and try to get that goal. Our family is trying to work to that goal.” Hernandez has taken a heart healthy approach by cutting down on the traditional Mexican foods that she indulged growing up. “We are watching calories and … things like that and trying to get away from getting too much protein in our system,” she added. “We have had our lipo-protein profiles done. … It tells you where you are with your cholesterol levels and most people are not aware of that and how they affect your body. We are teaching ourselves a little more about that in the family.” Hernandez’s approach validates the purpose of the luncheon. “We shed light on the risk factors that are preventable,” said Smith. “There are different things you can do so that you don’t have a heart attack. … You can be a little more heart healthy. It is all in moderation. We all live these busy lives now, and busy lives don’t allow for healthier lifestyles, but you just have to commit and realize that heart disease is real for all of us.” Lisa Hernandez attended the event at the invitation of a “La Enfermedad Cardíaca Es Una De Las Cosas Que Podemos Evitar” CONT./PÁGINA 1 Tru-Kecha Smith, Directora Regional de Equidad Sanitaria para AHA, habló con Hispanic News acerca de la finalidad del almuerzo. “En las comunidades minoritarias luchamos con enfermedades del corazón y en última instancia nos gusta unir a la gente de una manera divertida, y no en un área mal ventilada, sino en un lugar donde tener un almuerzo gratis y tener ese tipo de conversación en torno a la salud del corazón”, ella dijo. Los organizadores reúnen a líderes y expertos en el campo para hacer frente a las preguntas y proporcionar estrategias para hacer frente a los problemas asociados con las enfermedades del corazón. “Una de las cosas más increíbles con la que me encuentro todo el tiempo es que la gente no quiere admitir que tiene enfermedades del corazón, o que conocen a alguien que sabe que tiene enfermedades cardiacas”, explicó Smith. “Cuando tenemos este tipo de eventos, se puede hacer de una manera divertida para que la gente pueda tener un momento ¡aha!. Usted sabe que tal vez el momento resuene en ellos”. Smith señaló que el énfasis de la discusión del taller es la prevención. “La enfermedad cardíaca es una de las cosas que podemos evitar. Aunque tenemos algunos factores de riesgo que no podemos controlar, como nuestra edad, nuestra raza, nuestra historia familiar, hay muchos más que podemos controlar”, enfatizó. “Nuestro ideal es traerlos a un lugar divertido donde se puede ser más abierto a admitir que pueden tener una enfermedad cardiaca o puede que tengan los factores de riesgo”. Christina Hernández, Gerente de Desarrollo de Fuerza de Trabajo con GCI, asistió al evento del año pasado y sentía que tenía que ser presentada de nuevo a un público más amplio. “Creo que el público allí, el año pasado, estaba aprendiendo, sin embargo fue un público más pequeño y un gran evento”, recordó. “Pensé, necesitamos que esto ocurra una vez al año por lo menos. Conseguir que la educación sanitaria llegue a la gente es fundamental, no sólo para nosotros mismos, sino para nuestra comunidad en general”. Hernández señaló que las mujeres a menudo son las últimas en solicitar asistencia médica. “Ellas son las que se ocupan de los demás. Así que (con las enfermedades del corazón) siendo la principal causa de muerte para las mujeres, creo que es fundamental el tener la educación y pasar eso a nuestras hijas, nuestras nietas, nuestros vecinos y cuidarnos a nosotras mismas de mejores formas para que podamos cuidar de los demás”. Jaclyn Acosta, enfermera registrada en TMC, habló con Hispanic News sobre la importancia del tema en la comunidad hispana, especialmente cuando se trata de la dieta y el ejercicio. “Cuando estamos tratando de vivir una vida sana, puede ser difícil, porque muchos de los alimentos que pudieran ser saludables para el corazón pueden ser más caros. Cuando se era un niño pequeño también había más actividad, entonces hoy en día para los niños hay un estilo de vida más de sedentario con todos los dispositivos, como los teléfonos y iPads. Recuerdo cuando era niña, jugando afuera hasta que se hacía de noche, eso ha cambiado”, dijo. La salud preventiva es una clave en la lucha contra las enfermedades del corazón. Acosta señaló que la enfermedad cardíaca es etiquetada como el asesino silencioso por una razón - la enfermedad cardíaca sin tratar puede llevar a la insuficiencia cardíaca, que puede ser potencialmente mortal. “Si usted está esperando por signos o síntomas para ir al médico, es algo muy peligroso”, afirmó. “Hay que estar al tanto y conocer sus números, como su presión arterial. Cuide de usted misma y de las cosas sobre las que puede tener control como su estilo de vida, la actividad, la dieta y el tabaquismo y el consumo excesivo de alcohol. Estás son cosas que usted puede controlar para ayudar a reducir su riesgo de enfermedades del corazón”. Acosta agregó, que en la comunidad latina, la gente está menos dispuesta a buscar ayuda médica, a menos que sea una emergencia, lo que puede contribuir a los gastos agregados, a precios más altos en recetas mientras las personas lidian con las condiciones que pudieron haber sido aliviadas con mejores opciones de vida. TU CONEXIÓN LATINA DESDE 1996 “En nuestra comunidad es probable que a veces no seamos los mejores al cuidar de nosotros mismos. Definitivamente cuidamos de los demás, pero a lo mejor no a nosotros mismos y cuando tenemos familias puede ser difícil”, dijo. La juventud no es un refugio contra las enfermedades del corazón. Acosta hace referencia a un compañero trabajador que sólo tiene 27 años, y se esta tratando de problemas del corazón. “No importa lo joven y saludable te crees que eres. Tú quieres estar al tanto de cuáles son sus factores de riesgo y cuáles son sus números”. prevenir”, dijo Smith. “Hay diferentes cosas que puede hacer para que usted no tenga un ataque al corazón. Usted puede intentar ser un poco más saludable para su corazón. Todo está en la moderación. Todos vivimos estas vidas ocupadas ahora, y las vidas ocupadas no permiten estilos de vida más saludables, pero sólo hay que comprometerse y darse cuenta de que la enfermedad cardíaca es real para todos nosotros”. Lisa Hernández asistió al evento por invitación de un amigo. “Mi padre fue operado del corazón y la disfunción cardiaca prevalece en nuestra familia por parte de mi padre. Yo estoy aquí para aprender un poco más sobre eso, y acerca de un derrame cerebral. “Pensé que sería bueno venir y ver qué tipo de información se está presentando.” Hernández podría ser una niña de cartel por el enfoque proactivo que Acosta y Smith animan. “De hecho, voy a la página electrónica y solicito recetas y cosas por el estilo. Simplemente la información es muy buena para tratar de compartir con la gente”, explicó ella. “A veces cuando tú eres una persona ocupada, las cosas son difíciles de encajar pero creo que si se intenta lentamente y poco a poco, va a encontrar esa expectativa y tratara de conseguir ese objetivo. Nuestra familia está tratando de trabajar con ese objetivo”. Hernández ha adoptado un enfoque saludable para el corazón mediante la reducción de los alimentos tradicionales de México que comía mientras crecía. “Estamos cuidando las calorías y ese tipo de cosas, y tratando de alejarnos de meter demasiadas proteínas en nuestro sistema”, agregó. “Hemos realizado nuestros perfiles proteicos grasos. Te dice dónde te encuentras con tus niveles de colesterol y la mayoría de la gente no es consciente de eso y de cómo afectan a su cuerpo. Estamos aprendiendo un poco más sobre eso en la familia”. El enfoque de Hernández valida el propósito del almuerzo. “Nos arrojan luz sobre los factores de riesgo que se pueden YOUR LATINO CONNECTION SINCE 1996 10 de Julio de 2014 I kchispanicnews.com “Están Exhaustos” CONT./PÁGINA 1 La posterior investigación revelaría que el cadáver era el de un niño de 11 años de edad, llamado Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juárez, nacido en San José Las Flores, provincia de Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Él cruzó la frontera entre Texas y México algunas semanas antes de que se encontrara su cuerpo. Se dirigía hacia el norte a pesar de las reiteradas peticiones de su madres de que no se fuera. Su motivación, según los informes publicados, era hacer el cruce para encontrarse con otro hermano que vive en Chicago y ganar dinero para enviar a Guatemala, y ayudar con los tratamientos de la epilepsia de su madre. La madre de Ramos, Cipriana Juárez Díaz, fue citada por Associated Press, “lo mejor habría sido si se hubiera quedado”. Ramos se ha convertido en el rostro del crítico flujo de niños y jóvenes no acompañados que inundan las regiones fronterizas. Con tanta migración, incluso los hechos son turbios. Ramos resulta tener 15 años de edad, la lejanía de la aldea donde vivió obstaculiza los esfuerzos para registrar su certificado de nacimiento, hasta muchos años más tarde, cuando la traición de la memoria hacía más fácil utilizar la misma fecha que otro de sus hermanos. El comunicado del Sheriff del Condado de Hidalgo sugiere que él pudo haber estado viajando con un tío y se separó después de la detención de su tío por los agentes de aduanas de Estados Unidos. El último contacto con su familia parece haber sido 25 días antes de que se descubrió su cuerpo. Un rosario blanco que le había dado su madre como protección fue encontrado alrededor de su cuello. Hispanic News se puso en contacto con la oficina del Sheriff de Hidalgo y habló con el ayudante del sheriff, José Rodríguez. “Es lamentable que el niño fuera encontrado muerto en la maleza. No es el primer caso al que nos hemos enfrentado, el de un cuerpo que se encuentra en la maleza de las zonas rurales”, dijo Rodríguez. “Somos agentes de la ley, y sí, a veces estamos insensibilizados debido a nuestra exposición diaria a este tipo de incidentes, pero no nos gusta oír hablar de una situación en la que ha muerto un niño”. Rodríguez añadió que no es raro que muchas personas indocumentadas se acercan a la policía y se entreguen porque “están agotados, y se quedaron sin comida y agua y no tienen ningún otro recurso”. “Queremos aconsejar a los padres que no envíen a sus hijos al peligro”, advirtió. “Hay mucho riesgo, la temperatura es extrema aquí en el sur de Texas, y sólo eso hace que sea peligroso para un niño estar sin comida ni agua. Reconocemos y entendemos que a veces sus intenciones es tener una vida mejor para sí mismos y para sus hijos, pero no vale la pena el riesgo, y no queremos que suceda la tragedia”. Ramos no es sino uno de los miles de jóvenes que han cruzado la frontera y ahora están detenidos en centros de procesamiento. Algunas proyecciones indican que hasta más de 60 mil jóvenes serán detenidos este año en la frontera. Los intentos de las autoridades locales y federales para hacer frente al hacinamiento ha provocado un aumento de las tensiones entre las fuerzas anti inmigración y los que piden la reforma. En Murrieta, California, los manifestantes bloquearon los autobuses que transportaban algunos de los detenidos de Texas al ingresar en un centro de procesamiento en la zona. Las manifestaciones de los grupos de ambos lados del problema llenaron las ondas radiofónicas. El Presidente Barack Obama, se ha comprometido a hacer algo acerca de la situación actual y hacer frente al estancamiento sobre cualquier movimiento en la reforma migratoria. “El fracaso de la Cámara Republicana para aprobar una maldita ley es malo para nuestra seguridad, es malo para nuestra economía, y es malo para nuestro futuro”, dijo Obama en el Rose Garden, de la Casa Blanca. “Estados Unidos no puede esperar por siempre para que ellos actúen. Es por eso, que hoy estoy empezando un nuevo esfuerzo, para arreglar lo que pueda por mi cuenta gran parte de nuestro sistema de inmigración”. El abogado de inmigración local, Raymond Rico, habló con Hispanic News acerca de las razones predominantes por las que muchos jóvenes están haciendo la caminata hacia el norte desde los países más profundos en América Central, como Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador. “¿Por qué vienen a los Estados Unidos? ¿De qué están huyendo? Tal vez están huyendo de padres abusivos o tal vez sus familias han sido blanco de pandillas y de la violencia de las drogas en sus barrios”, se preguntó. “En este momento, Honduras es considerado el país más peligroso del mundo y hay ciudades enteras que están básicamente dirigidos por pandillas u organizaciones de tráfico de drogas”. Rico descarta que el Dream Act, y otras iniciativas como la Acción Diferida, están contribuyendo al éxodo. “Los jóvenes han estado viniendo a los Estados Unidos por años. Incluso antes del programa Dream Act, (la inmigración juvenil) fue en aumento. Esto no se debe a eso, sino a las condiciones en su país y su deseo de reunirse con la familia que ya está aquí en los Estados Unidos”. Traduce Gemma Tornero “They Are Exhausted” CONT./PAGE 1 Later investigation would reveal that the dead body was that of an 11-year-old boy named Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez born in San Jose Las Flores, Huehuetenango province, Guatemala. He crossed the border between Texas and Mexico some weeks before his body was found. He was headed north despite his mothers repeated requests that he not leave. His motivation, according to published reports, was to make the crossing to connect with another brother who living in Chicago and earn money to send back to Guatemala to help with his mother’s epilepsy treatments. Ramos’ mother Cipriana Juarez Diaz, was quoted by the Associated Press, “the better treatment would have been if he had stayed.” Ramos has become the face of the critical flow of unaccompanied children and teens flooding the border regions. Like much about that migration, even the facts are cloudy. Ramos turns out to be 15 years old, the remoteness of the village he lived in hindering efforts to register his birth certificate until many years later when the treachery of memory made it easier to use the same date as another of his siblings. The Hidalgo County Sherriff’s release suggests that he may have been traveling with an uncle and was separated after the uncle’s detention by US Customs agents. The last contact with his family appears to have been 25 days before his body was discovered. A white rosary given to him by his mother as protection was found around his neck. Hispanic News reached out to the Hidalgo Sheriffs office and spoke with Deputy Sheriff Jose Rodriguez. It is unfortunate that the child was found deceased in the brush. It is not the first case we have dealt with where a body is found out in the rural areas in the brush,” said Rodriguez. “We are law enforcement officers and yes sometimes we get desensitized due to our daily exposures to these types of incidents, but we don’t like to hear of a situation where a child has died.” Rodriguez added that it is not unusual for many undocumented people to approach the police and turn themselves in because “they are exhausted and have ran out of food and water and have no other recourse.” “We want to advice the parents not to send their children into harm’s way,” he cautioned. “There is so much risk, the temperature is just extreme here in south Texas and that in itself makes it dangerous for a child to be without food and water. We recognize and understand that sometimes their intentions is to make a better life for themselves and their children, but it is not worth the risk and we don’t want tragedy to happen.” Ramos is but one of the thousands of youths that have crossed the border and are now being held in processing centers. Some projections indicate that as many as 60,000 plus unaccompanied youth will be detained along the border this year. Attempts by local and federal authorities to address the overcrowding has led to increasing tensions between anti immigration forces and those calling for reform. In Murrieta, California, protesters blocked buses carrying some of the detainees from Texas from entering a processing center in the area. Demonstrations between groups on both sides of the issue fill the airwaves. President Barack Obama has pledged to do something about the current situation and address the stalemate that has stalled any movement on immigration reform. “The failure of House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it’s bad for our economy, and it’s bad for our future,” Obama said in the White House Rose Garden. “America cannot wait forever for them to act. That’s why today I’m beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own.” Local immigration attorney Raymond Rico talked with Hispanic News about the prevailing reasons that many youths are making the trek north from countries deeper in Central America such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. “Why are they coming to the United States? What are they running away from? Maybe they are running from abusive parents or maybe their families have been targeted by the gang and the drug violence in their neighborhoods,” he asked. “Right now Honduras is considered the most dangerous country in the world and there are whole cities that are basically run by gangs or drug trafficking organizations.” Rico discounted charges that the Dream Act, and other initiatives such as the Deferred Action, is contributing to the exodus. “Youths have been coming to the states for years. Even before the Dream Act program, [youth immigration] was on the rise. It is not due to that but rather the conditions in their country and their desire to reunite with family that are here in the United States already.” “100,000-Plus Kids - Blame Obama, Bush, Or Who?” By Guest Writer Raoul Lowery Contreras S ome Americans are going berserk over the huge numbers of children walking into the United States through Mexico from Central America; e.g. -some cable news, some radio talk shows. Additionally, there is a loud minority that point to the porous South Texas border as the ultimate result of Barack Obama’s perceived Open Border policies. That emotional cohort, however, is wrong that President Obama is totally responsible for the thousands of children and some adults that have overwhelmed thousands of Texas-based Border Patrol agents. Obama deserves only one third of the blame for the situation. One third of the blame belongs to six Democrat U.S. Senators, five of whom voted against proceeding in 2010 to passage of what became known as the DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Act) that had passed the House 216-198. The five who voted against ending debate were Montana’s Max Baucus, now Ambassador to China; Montana’s Jon Tester, Nebraska’s Ben Nelson (now a lobbyist) Kay Hagan of North Carolina currently not favored for re-election this November and Arkansas’ Mark Pryor considered the Senate’s most endangered incumbent this November. The sixth Senator to be blamed for the DREAM Act defeat was Majority Leader Harry Reid who desired a defeat in order to blast Republicans; enough Republicans voted for proceeding with the Dream Act to have passed so Harry Reid’s Democrats killed the Dream Act which would have allowed children brought here illegally to be legalized with a path to citizenship. Naturally President Obama blamed Republicans for killing the Dream Act, but the real blame lay with his five Democrats and Harry Reid who didn’t “whip” his own people to make sure they were voting for the Act which the majority and enough Republicans wanted passed. The remaining third of blame for today’s border mess lies with former Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and his political off-spring, Congressmen Steve King of Iowa, lame duck Michele Bachman (R-MN) who is leaving Congress in December and somewhere between 40 and 60 like-minded Republican representatives who are death on Comprehensive Immigration Reform. This group of mostly backbench Republicans screams when anyone mentions immigration reform. The number one scream of these people and their enablers in talk radio is the word “A-M-NE-S-T-Y.” There is no amnesty proposed by anyone in the Senate or the House. Doesn’t matter, the enablers of stopany-immigration-reform movement don’t care, they deceitfully label “legalization” with many conditions as amnesty and further are really death on a “path to citizenship.” The current crisis on the Texas border and basically only on the Texas border can be blamed equally on Obama, on those five Democrat senators who were so frightened by someone running against them this year and the few dozen anti-immigration-reform-ofany-sort Republicans. In the final analysis, however, Barack Obama is the principal bogey-man because when he became President in 2009 he had a Democrat House and TU CONEXIÓN LATINA DESDE 1996 Senate and he did nothing on immigration reform, didn’t offer any reform program and didn’t mention immigration reform. To this day, Obama has not offered a written plan or proposal for immigration reform like George W. Bush did in 2006 and 2007. Obama has failed, utterly failed the Hispanic community that is concerned with immigration. Can the situation be fixed? Not the immediate problem, we just will have to deal with it. But the long range problem can be alleviated by, of all people, Eric Cantor, whose defeat in the 7th Virginia District primary will end his congressional run this December. If Speaker John Boehner cooperates, Eric Cantor can partner with the Cuban American Republican congressmen from Florida, Democrat Luis Gutierrez of Chicago and a couple of Hispanic congressmen from California and Texas and offer a House comprehensive reform bill with five basic elements: A reformulation of the existing Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a field agency of real sworn border cops, not cast-offs from other agencies; more than nine border sectors so agents can be moved around on a moment’s notice not as now with union rules. No more agents are necessary than the 20,000 on payroll now. Annual or bi-annual work permits applied for by employers of workers already here or needed in the future, all employment categories, no felony records, labor laws applicable to all Residential permits for families here already with American born citizen children Permanent residency for foreign college graduates in FYI FORMER MAYOR KAY BARNES LOOKS AT THE CIVIC-MINDED WOMEN Who Helped Take Down The Pendergast Machine Kansas City, Missouri - In the 1920s and ‘30s, Kansas City was defined by the corruptness of the political machine run by “Boss” Tom Pendergast. The machine finally was brought down, in no small part through the efforts of reform-minded women. Former Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes tells their story in Civic Housekeepers and More: Kansas City Women v. Pendergast on Sunday, July 20, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St. The efforts of these reformists culminated in Pendergast’s imprisonment on a tax-evasion conviction, the election of a crusading new mayor in 1940, and the smashing of machine-mob rule. Barnes was the first woman elected as mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, serving two terms from 1999-2007. Earlier, she was one of the first two women on the Jackson County Legislature and a member of the Kansas City City Council. Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, she received degrees in secondary education from the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Barnes is now back at KU as a nontraditional student. This presentation is part of the Missouri Valley Sundays series, a program of the Missouri Valley Special Collections at the Central Library. The series is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Admission to the event is free. Free parking is available in the Library District parking garage at 10th and Baltimore.

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

TU CONEXIÓN LATINA DESDE 1996 YOUR LATINO CONNECTION SINCE 1996 10 de Julio de 2014 I kchispanicnews.com Help The American Red Cross Prevent A Summer Shortage KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The American Red Cross urges eligible blood donors to roll up a sleeve and give to help prevent a summer blood shortage. Blood donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative are especially needed. The Red Cross is seeing fewer appointments at its blood donation centers and blood drives this summer than what is needed to ensure blood and platelets continue to be available for patients. During the summer months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer donors make an appointment to give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer. Blood and platelet donations are needed every day for patients with many serious medical conditions. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood. To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS.

Persons with disabilities, older adults and families with children are the primary groups assisted. In the winter of 2014, nearly 48,000 households received an average benefit of $449. This year, funding is available to provide an additional benefit to those households for energy costs. This is not a new application period. Households that applied and received a benefit during the regular application period will automatically be issued a supplemental benefit of approximately $74, bringing the average benefit for the year to more than $520. The supplemental funds are in the process of being dispersed. Funding for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program is provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Service through the Federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. For more information on the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, visit http://www.dcf.ks.gov/ services/ees/Pages/Energy/EnergyAssistance.aspx or call 1-800-432-0043 toll free.
