It’s True: Latinos are Liberals,
and Other Important Matters
By Gary Segura and Shaun Bowler
Latino Decisions released a new poll finding regarding the debt and deficit as part of its ImpreMedia-Latino Decisions Tracking Poll. When asked
whether the preferred solution for closing the deficit was spending cuts, tax
increases on the wealthy or a combination of the two, Latino voters overwhelmingly lean in the direction of taxes.
As we illustrate in Figure 1, the plurality of respondents preferred a taxes
only solution (46%), with another 37% favoring a combination of taxes and
spending cuts. The GOP solution—of spending cuts alone—attracts only 8%
of all Latino registered voters. Put another way, 83% of Latino registered
voters favored at least some tax increases to close the deficit. Moreover, the
pattern was consistent across many sub-populations. Even among Republicans (who represent only about 20% of all registered voters), only 30% favor
the cuts-only approach while 57% favor at least some taxation as part of the
solution.
This finding, while specific to recent events and an ongoing debate, actually underlines the difficult challenge facing Republicans who wish to grow
their Latino vote share. At their core, Latinos are progressives. That is,
across a wide array of policy questions, Latinos on average sit significantly
to the left of white Americans. More importantly, when queried about their
core beliefs regarding government, its role, size and growth, Latinos (and
other minorities) regularly offer views that are left of center and left of
Anglos. This finding on their preferences regarding fiscal policy, then, is
consistent with a large array of public opinion data.

Aztecs’ Perez Eager to Build on
Last Season’s Success
By John Philip Wyllie
As late as last September, San Diego State kicker Abelardo Perez
didn’t know how much he would contribute to what was then his new
team. The Tijuana-born left footed
place kicker had excelled at Castle
Park High and then Southwestern
College, but kicking for a Division I
university like San Diego State presented a much bigger challenge. First,
he had to win the job from returning
senior Bryan Shields. Once that was
accomplished, Perez had to remain
consistent enough to stay on the field.
As it turned out, Perez was one of
the many bright spots on a team that
went 9-4 and won its first bowl game
in over 40 years. Long known for his
booming kickoffs, Perez improved his
accuracy last season nailing 17 of his
22 field goal attempts including one
from 53 yards. For his efforts, he was
selected second team All-MWC and
is the preseason favorite this year to
be the top kicker in the league.
Last year’s accolades mean little
to Perez now as prepares for San
Diego State’s home opener against
Cal Poly on September 3. He is hoping his offseason training regimen will
produce even better results this year.
“(Prior to) last year we didn’t have
a lot of time to work together as a
unit, but this offseason I got together
twice a week with my holder, Brian
Stahovich and snapper, Aaron Brewer
and we really got after it. I just hope
that it all transfers to the field,” Perez
said following Tuesday’s practice. “
As a kicker there is not much you
can do on your own, so them being
around has really helped me a lot and
given me more confidence.”
Perez didn’t want to discuss personal goals, only team goals.
“The only goal for me is to win the
Mountain West Conference, whatever happens after that is a bonus.
Winning that championship is the first
Kicker Abelardo Perez was one of the many brights spots on last
years Aztec team and looks to be again a major contributor. Photo

priority here.”
Kickers that can routinely drive a
football through the end zone on kickoffs are in high demand in the NFL,
especially those that can also make
80% of their field goal attempts. And
while he admits that a career in the
NFL would be a dream come true,
he doesn’t like to speculate on anything beyond the upcoming season.
With most of his family currently
living in Mexico Perez naturally has
reason to visit. He was surprised to
discover on a recent trip that he has
become somewhat of a hometown
celebrity.
“When I went down there recently
with my family I had a few people
noticing me. It was kind of funny. I
had no idea that anyone in Tijuana was
following the Aztecs. They told me
that they didn’t use to, but now with
me (at SDSU) they now have reason
to.”
The Aztecs unveil their 2011 team
Saturday evening, August 20th, at the
“Q” with Aztec Family Day. This free
event begins at 5:00 p.m. with an
alumni game and includes autograph
sessions the Aztecs Pep Band and
Cheer Squad and an intra-squad
scrimmage at 7:30.
Change in immigration case reviews signals a more
humane approach to deportations
By Marisa Treviño
LATINA LISTA
In our new book, The Future is Ours: Minority Politics, Political Behavior, and the Multiracial Era in American Politics, we examine the
core ideological commitments of Americans regarding the size of government, its role vis-à-vis that of the market, and preferences regarding important policy debates. Using data from the 2008 American National Election
Study and the 2004 National Politics Study, we gain important insight into
minority political views.
On Thursday, senior White House
officials delivered the news Latino
community activist groups have been
waiting for — all 300,000 cases
pending for removal from the country will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis.
What does that mean?
It means that the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) is going

to make room and time to focus on
high-level priority cases.
On top of that, senior management
at DHS will be sending out a memo
to their field agents to provide guidance and establish priorities for the
agents on who to take into custody
and who to leave alone.
Given past reaction to changes in
immigration enforcement in the past,
there will no doubt be vocal criticism
(see Humane, page 10)
New research shows how vital the role of all
Latinos is to the US economy
PERSPECTIVE
Figures 2 and 3 report what respondents believe about the growth of
government—that is, whether it was justified and helpful. The story from
these survey questions is the same: minorities are much less suspicious of
government, and more willing to have government intervene to address social problems, than are Anglos.
to review each case individually to
see whether the person warrants removal based on DHS’s criteria for
high-level or low-level threats.
If someone is found to be a lowlevel threat, their case will be stayed
and removed from the stack of
caseloads waiting to be seen by immigration judges. Senior White
House officials were quick to say that
at any time the case could be revisited but for the time being a case identified as low-level would be filed away
The power of political action committees is fierce. One has only to look
at the Tea Party to see what happens
when determination sets in to elect
only like-minded candidates.
That’s why news that a new political action committee was being
formed with another laser-specific
agenda caught most people off guard.
Former Rep. Tom Tancredo (RColo.) has filed the paperwork for a
“super” political action committee
that can raise unlimited donations to
spend for candidates that oppose illegal immigration.
The super PAC is calling itself the
American Legacy Alliance. The
website flashes a series of questions
alongside pictures of white families
and children, asking such things as
“Will they have use for English in their
own country?” and “Fight to preserve
your legacy to them” — flashed
alongside a picture of a white family.
The website makes it clear that
“something and someone” is causing
the downfall of the American
economy and society. The not so
subtle question about English directs
the reader as to who to blame.
The ignorance of Tancredo on just
how much Latino immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, contribute
and have always contributed to our
economy is mind-blowing. The sad
part is that Tancredo fully believes
his own distortions of facts that he
has been regurgitating for several
years to get people on his side.
If people only knew just how much
Latino immigrants contribute to the
US economy.
IBISWorld, a nationally recognized
independent source of industry and
market research, released a report
showing that the Latino demographic
— of which the undocumented comprise a sizeable portion — are contributing to the profitability of seven
specific industry sectors.
The Growing Hispanic Population
Means Big Business for These 7 Sectors report reveals:
By 2016, the Hispanic demographic will comprise 17.8 percent of
US residents and, while the nation’s
buying power is projected to grow
27.5 percent to $14.7 trillion, the Hispanic population’s buying power is
forecast to grow a whopping 48.1
percent to $1.6 trillion.
Hispanics are major purchasers of
children’s and infants’ clothing, accounting for about 19.2 percent of

year investigation into the
Mexican drug cartels, their
close ties to Mexican officialdom, and the expansion of their
influence in Central and South
America.
“How else can you explain
how individuals running the cartels with almost no education
can outpace the US and Mexican intelligence agencies, the
Mexican Army and Mexican
law enforcement at all levels?
There is only one explanation,”
says Hernandez with a dramatic pause— “corruption.”
From Top to Bottom
For the 39-year-old Hernandez—now working on a
follow-up book focused on US
policies toward Latin America
in its war on drugs — corruption in Mexico is so pervasive
that it jumped the US border
many decades ago, back in the
1980s, during the Reagan administration, when senior officials facilitated the sale of arms
to Iran and through back-door
funding of the Nicaraguan
Contras, thereby bypassing the
oversight of Congress.
Much of the funding for the
Contras, according to Hernandez, came from illegal trafficking of cocaine through Central America en route to the
United States, with full knowledge of top CIA officials. Most
of these events were well
documented by several congressional commissions, as well
as independent reports. Yet,
only a handful of the US government officials involved got
prosecuted. They ended up
being pardoned or with commuted sentences.
At that time, Mexico’s rul-

ing party, the PRI (Institutional
Revolutionary Party) had total
control of the political power
in Mexico and the drug cartels
were left to mind their own
business with no interference,
as long as they paid a cut of
their profits to key government
officials, who in turn would
spread some of that money
around to make sure the drug
operations would run smoothly.
Things began to get shaky in
1985, with the execution of
Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a
US Drug Enforcement Agency
(DEA) agent who had investigated a 1,000-hectare marijuana plantation in the state of
Chihuahua. The killing of
Camarena unleashed outrage
from the US government and
pressured Mexican officials to
punish those responsible for the
murder. Miguel Angel Felix
Gallardo and Rafael Caro
Quintero —at that time two
very well know drug lords—
were apprehended and are still
in prison. Four others, including
a relative of former Mexican
President Luis Echevarria,
were also found guilty in a federal court in Los Angeles.
“The official records are
there,” declares Hernandez in
an interview with New America Media. “Then and now, US
and Mexican officials had been
involved in deals with the drug
lords and they are playing a
double moral standard in this
so called “war’’ against drug
trafficking that already cost
Mexico more than 40 thousand
victims.’’
She cites a more recent case
when the son of “El Mayo
Zambada,’’ Jesus Vicente
Zambada-Niebla (aka “Mayito”) claimed immunity from
prosecution early last week in
a federal court in Chicago, alleging that in 1998 he had an
agreement with top DEA and
US officials, in exchange for
his services as an informant on
the activities of the Sinaloa
cartel, led by his father and
Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman.
According to reports from
Reuters, US government officials in Mexico declined to
comment on Zambada’s allegations, and US prosecutors
have denied that Zambada had
been granted immunity. They
have until September 9 to file
a response with the court. But
if Zambada-Niebla’s claim is
upheld, it can potentially turn
into another embarrassment
for the US government, on a
par with the scandalous Operation “Fast and Furious,’’ in
which U.S. officials deliberately allowed the export of
high-power firearms into Mexico, then lost track of the arms.
“The only winner in this drug
war is the Sinaloa Cartel and
they can thank [Mexican]
President Felipe Calderon for
that,’’ says Hernandez.

It’s True: Latinos are
liberals
(con’t from page 1)
Figure 2 reports respondents’ take on why government has
grown so large. As you can see, non-Hispanic white voters
are more or less evenly divided over the question of whether
government stuck its nose into matters where it did not belong,
or whether government grew because our nation’s problems
required it. By contrast, look at the distributions among minority respondents. Huge majorities of every other group overwhelmingly report that the size and complexity of the nation’s
problems demanded government increase its capacity to address them. Between 72 and 78 percent of Asian Americans,
Latinos, and African Americans believe that government grew
out of necessity. This represents, we believe, a meaningful
and fundamental difference in how Americans of different racial
and ethnic backgrounds see the political world.
The results in Figure 3 are consistent with those in Figure 2.
Here the question is whether we want government to do more,
or whether the less the better. Again, racial distinctions on this
question are profound. Whites, again, are more or less evenly
divided. By contrast, almost 69 percent of Asian Americans
favor government doing more, and among African Americans
and Latinos, the comparable percentages are over 80 percent.
Minority voters and white voters have markedly different expectations regarding the vigor and reach of government.
Figure 4 reports results from a somewhat different question,
one designed to capture conviction in the core ideological belief
of free market conservatism—that the market can solve most
problems. It is clear that a majority of no group believes this.
Even among whites, almost two-thirds of the respondents say
that we need a strong government. But that number, again, pales
in comparison with the support for government action among
minorities. Almost 76 percent of Asian Americans and between
83 percent and 85 percent of African Americans and Latinos
place greater trust in government action to solve problems than
in the famous hidden-hand of the marketplace. These findings,
including the distribution among Anglos, gives lie to the oft-repeated contention that America is a center-right nation. A large
percentage of our citizens, of every group, prefer to rely on a
capable government than on the market to solve our problems.
What, then, can we say about free market values and minority politics? As we just indicated, the ideological distinctions between racial and ethnic groups regarding government action are
significant. Minority citizens prefer a more energetic govern-
ment, by large and statistically significant margins.
Such opinions, no doubt, feed stereotypic assessments of
minorities as wanting to rely on government for everything, an
erroneous interpretation of these data but one you are likely to
hear in the midst of heated rhetoric. Stereotyping notwithstanding, however, the belief in an energetic government aggressively
addressing social problems is not the same as dependence or a
“welfare mentality.” Belief in an effective government and belief in self-reliance and individual effort can go together quite
nicely. Bundling those attitudes merely involves recognition that,
for all their efforts, not everyone who works hard reaps the
benefits (and, though seldom discussed, not everyone reaping
the benefits of success has worked all that hard).
Table 1 reports what Americans believe about the relationship between hard work and success. It is pretty clear that
Americans of all racial and ethnic groups buy the central claim
of this “meritocratic” value. Among African Americans, 77.5
percent agree or strongly agree with this claim, and that is the
lowest number among the four groups. For non-Hispanic whites
and Asian Americans, the comparable numbers are 82 and
82.5 percent, respectively, and for Latinos, support for this
abstract commitment to hard work is a shockingly high 92.5
percent (with the vast majority of that group “strongly” agreeing. On this most basic measure of individualism, there are
few to no meaningful differences between whites, Asians, and
African Americans, and Latinos exhibit even greater commitment to this “American value.”
Taken together, these data suggest that stereotypes are in
error, and that self-reliance can be consistent with belief in energetic government. The ideology and partisanship of minority
Americans, then, are consistent and rational. It is likely, then,
that anticipation of a large movement of minorities into the GOP
camp is very likely to be in vain. If, for a moment, we can stereotype GOP ideology as “market good, government bad,” that
spending should be cut and taxes never increased, it’s just crystal clear that super-majorities of minority Americans do not agree.

Expo Comida Latina brings all the
flavor of Latino cuisine to San Diego
By Pablo Jaime Sáinz
Latino food, especially
Mexican food, is good business.
Just in California, each year
the Latino food and beverage
industry represents sales of
$4.3 billion, according to
ProMéxico, a Mexican government agency that promotes
investment in Mexico and the
exportation of Mexican products.
It is estimated that sales of
Latino food in the United States
will be more than $7 billion in
2011, according to organizers
of Expo Comida Latina 2011,
which will take place at the San
Diego Convention Center from
Sunday August 28 through
Tuesday the 30th.
When one thinks of Latino
food, one might think tacos,
burritos, typical taco shop
menu. But as Expo Comida
Latina shows, Latino food goes
beyond that: It shows the diversity that exists in Latino
cuisine.
“Expo Comida Latina is
about food and beverage, from
ingredients to prepared meals,
influenced by the many Latin
countries and cultures from
around the globe (Mexico,
Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Peru
and many more),” said Liz
Plizga, show director for the
expo.
For popular Chef LaLa, who
appears on different English
and Spanish television shows to
promote Latino food, Expo
Comida Latina also proves that
Latino food, from its roots, is
very healthy.
“We use a lot of vegetables,”
said Chef LaLa, who will be at
the expo everyday making live
recipe demonstrations and promoting her new line of salsas,
“Chef LaLa Homemade”.
She is one of the biggest promoters of healthy Latino food,
to try to reduce and prevent the
effects that diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure, and other
diseases, have among Latinos.
“There are healthier ways to
prepare our traditional foods,”
she said, citing pozole, where
instead of pork, chicken can be
used.
Expo Comida Latina was
founded in 2002 and has been
held annually in Los Angeles.
This year the organizers are trying to expand the expo bringing
it to San Diego as they did in
2009.
The expo is open only to representatives of the food industry. The event is not open to the
general public. It includes food
companies of various Latin
American countries including
Mexico, Brazil, and Peru.
More than 70 percent of
U.S. households consume products of traditional ethnic food
Chef LaLa
and drink, according Plizga.
And of that total, 62 percent
buy Mexican and Latino products.
For the Consul General of
Mexico in San Diego, Remedios Gomez Arnau, this event
further confirms the popularity of Mexican food in America.
”The words salsa, guacamole and quesadilla find a way
into the daily lexicon of Americans,” said Gómez Arnau in
2009, when there was a Mexican pavilion in the Expo.
Expo Comida Latina 2011
will be held at the San Diego
Convention Center from Sunday 28 to Tuesday 30 of August. Hours are Sunday from
10 am to 5 pm, Monday from
11 am to 5 pm, and Tuesday
from 11 am to 4 pm.
Expo Comida Latina trae el sabor de nuestra cocina a San Diego
Por Pablo Jaime Sáinz
La comida latina, en especial la mexicana, es buen
negocio.
Tan sólo en California, cada
año la industria de alimentos y
bebidas latinas tiene ventas por
4.3 mil millones de dólares,
según cifras de ProMéxico,
una agencia del gobierno
mexicano que alienta la inversión en México y la exportación de productos mexicanos.
Se calcula que las ventas en
el mercado hispano en Estados
Unidos en el sector de alimentos representarán más de
7 mil millones de dólares en el
2011, según los organizadores
de la Expo Comida Latina
2011, que traerá al Centro de
Convenciones de San Diego
todo el sabor de la cocina latina
del domingo 28 al martes 30
de agosto.
Cuando uno piensa en la
comida latina, quizá lo primero
que viene a la mente son los
tacos, los burritos, el menú
típico de un “taco shop”. Pero
como demuestra la Expo Comida Latina, la cocina latina va
más allá: el evento muestra una
gran diversidad de alimentos.
“Expo Comida Latina es
acerca de alimentos y bebidas,
desde ingredientes hasta comidas preparadas, con influencias
de muchos países y culturas
latinas de todo el mundo”, dijo
Liz Plizga, directora del evento.
Para la popular Chef LaLa,
quien seguido aparece en
diferentes programas de televisión en inglés y en español
promoviendo la comida latina,
Expo Comida Latina también
comprueba que la comida
latina, en sus raíces, es muy
saludable.
“Usamos muchas verduras”, dijo Chef LaLa, quien
estará los tres días de la expo
haciendo demostraciones de
recetas así como presentando
su nueva línea de salsas “Chef
LaLa Homemade”.
Chef LaLa es una de las
más grandes promotoras de una
comida latina saludable, para

otras enfermedades comunes
entre los latinos.
“Hay maneras de preparar
nuestros platillos tradicionales
de maneras más saludables”,
dijo, citando como ejemplo el
pozole, donde en vez de puerco,
se puede usar pollo.
La Expo Comida Latina fue
fundada en el 2002 y se ha
realizado anualmente en Los
Ángeles. Este año los organizadores están tratando de
ampliar la expo trayéndola por
segunda vez a San Diego
como lo hicieron en el 2009.
La expo sólo está abierta a
representantes de la industria
de alimentos. No es un evento
abierto al público general.
Incluye compañías alimenticias de varios países latinoamericanos, incluyendo México, Brasil y Perú.
Más del 70 por ciento de
los hogares estadounidenses
consumen productos étnicos
tradicionales de comida y
bebida, según Plizga. Y de ese
total, el 62 por ciento compra
productos mexicanos y latinos.
Para la Cónsul General de
México en San Diego, Remedios Gómez Arnau, este
evento viene a reafirmar la
popularidad de la comida
mexicana en Estados Unidos.
“Las palabras salsa, guacamole y quesadilla las encontramos de manera cotidiana en
el léxico de los estadounidenses,” dijo Gómez Arnau en
el 2009, cuando hubo un pabellón de comida mexicana
dentro de la expo.
La Expo Comida Latina
2011 se realizará en el Centro
de Convenciones de San Diego del domingo 28 al martes
30 de agosto. Los horarios son:
domingo de 10 a.m. a 5 p.m.,
lunes de 11 a.m. a 5 p.m. y
martes de 11 a.m. a 4 p.m.
Sólo está abierto a representantes de la industria de
alimentos; el evento no está
abierto al público ni se permite
la entrada a menores de 18
años.

MAMIVERSE: Unleashing the Power of Mom
By Rene Alegria
My own Latina mom and
aunt raised my three male
cousins and me. Four boys
roughly the same age living
within a few blocks of one another can do a lot of damage.
We started to do just that.
Our moms put an end to
that, fast.
After doing what they were
supposed to at the time—marry
young and start families—my
mom and aunt decided that
wasn’t enough. Each worked
full time, while putting themselves through college. One
became an attorney and finally a judge, while the other
launch-ed a thriving business.
They showed us how to get
things done. They were tough
and fearless. They organized.
They delegated. They set goals
and achieved them.
And they made dinner, did
the laundry, washed the dishes…
Their refusal to let life’s unplanned predicaments unravel
our family’s future is something
with which most Latinos can
identify. Our moms are the pillars around which our families
are built.
Yet for whatever reason,
Latina moms have not had
media’s spotlight shine its glare
on their lives. Until recently,
Latina moms were an invisible
demographic, completely overlooked by corporate America,
politicians, and even our own
Defense Contracting
Conference Dedicated to
Small Business Success
Economists, economic development professionals and
President Obama agree that
small business owners & innovators will play the key role in
steering our troubled economy
out of the doldrums while putting the nations’ best & brightest back to work.
Now in its 23rd year, the
NAVY & the National Defense Industrial AssociationSan Diego Chapter have continued to embrace this theme
in bringing the Southwest Region the annual Navy Gold
Coast Small Business Opportunity Conference, simply known as the “Gold Coast”
conference, to the San Diego
Convention Center on Aug. 2224. With record attendance
expected to top 1,600 attendees, more than 250 exhibitors
and Lockheed Martin serving
as the Platinum Sponsor, the
Gold Coast conference is
poised to bring small businesses, large businesses and
high-level, Department of Defense (DoD) professionals together in the spirit of fostering
small business success with
global economic impact.
NDIA-SD and SPAWAR
have collaborated and created
a two-day program instrumental in highlighting effective
ways in which to work with
government partners & large
defense businesses. With more
than 250 exhibitors crowding
the convention hall showcasing new technologies & new
innovations; a matchmaking
session pairing a small business
and a large business together
to share business ideas that can
be captured NOW to help the
war fighter; and plenty of networking opportunities.

Pre-schoolers, a part of the Headstart Program, are eager learners at the Chicano
Federation’s child development center.
At the Chicano Federation’s
San Ysidro Child Development
Center at Casa Familiar, Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher
and Council President Tony
Young held the fourth meeting
in their seven-month education
listening tour. The meeting,
which focused on the importance of early education, is part
of a listening series designed
to gain a better understanding
of San Diego’s education system.
Early childhood education
focuses on giving children the
stimulation and experiences
necessary for physical, emotional, and intellectual growth.
Studies show that children
who are given the opportunity
to learn at an early age generally need fewer, costly special
education classes and are
more likely to graduate from
high school and to hold jobs.
“Every parent wants the
very best for their children,”
said Assemblyman Fletcher.
“As a parent and a legislator, I
know that nothing should be
more important than ensuring
our children have the strong
foundation they need to succeed in life. Quality early education builds an employable,
educated workforce so the investment in early education not
only has substantial benefits for
children, but for taxpayers and
our economy.”
The seven-month education
listening tour, which started in
May, focuses on drawing attention to effective educational
practices currently in our
schools and other ideas that
should be considered in efforts
to transform the public education system.
Fletcher and Young, both
passionate about education and
serious about ensuring success
for every child in San Diego, are
committed to bettering our
school system. Step by step,
ideas generated from the tour
will build on the premise that our
region’s schools need to be
great places to teach and to
learn, and where all kids are
supported to maximum achievement.
The tour’s remaining themes
include:
September-Career Tech-
nical Education: Career and
technical education is a core
pillar in education. As the use
of technology is accelerating,
education should also change
to reflect the needs of the
workplace. The purpose of this
forum will be to discuss the increased need for information
technology and career training
curriculum in schools.
October-College Readiness: What a child learns in
the early stages of educational
development plays a key role
in guiding their preparation for
postsecondary education. It is
critical that San Diego school
curriculum provide rigorous
academic preparation and parent support so that students
have what they need to be college-ready.
November-What Did We
Learn? The last meeting will
focus on discussing the tour’s
discovery items and how to
implement them.
“With these topics as our
goal, the tour is intended to be
part of a journey toward a better future for San Diego,” said

“Light Up San Diego”
A Multi-Cultural Lantern
Festival and Street Fair
The Little Saigon Foundation, a local non-profit organization, is hosting their second
annual San Diego Lantern Festival and Street Fair. A 2,000
year old celebration with a
modern twist, the festival is a
celebration that seeks to bring
together residents, community
organizations, local businesses,
students and visitors from all
over San Diego County to experience the illuminating elegance of thousands of lanterns brightening the night sky.
This year’s theme is “Light
Up San Diego” and will feature nearly 6,000 traditional silk
lanterns. Other attractions include a street fair (Saturday and
Sunday), lantern parades and

industry sales in 2011.
Hispanic men spend 7.0 percent more than non-Hispanic
men on clothing on a per capita
basis.
Hispanics are 7.0 percent
more likely than the general
population to own a smartphone, download music online,
utilize mobile video, use e-mail
and send or receive text messages.
By 2016, Hispanics will contribute roughly $14.0 billion to
the car and automobile manufacturing industry, representing
annualized growth of 7.4 percent from 2011 to 2016.
Restaurants across all food
types have also benefited from
the growing Hispanic population. Social factors, such as the
tendency to dine out with the
entire family, give this group a
substantial 11.4 percent share
of the single location full-service restaurants industry.
From 2011 to 2016, Hispanic
contribution to the credit card
processing and money transferring industries will grow at
an annualized rate of 7.2 percent, faster than the industry’s
revenue growth.
From these statistical facts
and projections, it’s clear the
role of Latinos, regardless of
citizenship, is and will continue
to be a vital component on
strengthening the health of the
US economy.
Unfortunately, if Tancredo
and others like have their way,
the American people will never
know the truth — until it proves
to be too late for our economy.

The Sweetwater Union High
School District’s Board of
Trustees is now accepting applications from qualified individuals interested in joining the
Prop O Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC). The
CBOC is responsible for providing oversight of the Prop O
construction bond program, a
$644 million school classroom,
safety and repair measure that
provides funds necessary to address the needs of 32 schools
in the District.
Members of the CBOC are
appointed by the governing
board of the District from a list
of candidates who submit written applications, based on criteria established by the bond
measure. Individuals interested
in serving on Prop O’s CBOC
can visit www.buildingpropo.

more information. Applicants
can submit their resume and
interest letter to info@building
propo.com.
Grade 8 Physical Science
(+9%); World History (+8%).
“We are extremely happy to
see our students, at all grade
levels, showing such tremendous growth in achievement,”
said School Board President
John McCann. “These results
show that effective teaching
and learning is taking place at
Sweetwater schools.”
Student proficiency improved in all areas tested from
the previous year, except in
Grade 9 English (-1%) and
Grade 7 math where no
change in score was posted.
Each spring, California students in grades two through
eleven take a STAR test to
evaluate performance in math,
reading, writing, science, and
history. In each subject area,
the tests are based on state
academic standards. Students
are rated as being at advanced,
proficient, basic, below basic
or far below basic level according to their scores.
“Sweetwater puts a premium
on improving instruction,” said
Acting Superintendent Ed
Brand. “We’ve increased academic rigor and aligned our
curriculum with state and federal standards. Clearly we’re
on the right track.”
In recent years, the district
adopted several initiatives to
raise achievement. Teachers
continually monitor learning by
administering standards-based
tests developed in the district.
This allows early identification
of struggling students so they
may be offered academic support at the first sign of learning
difficulties rather than waiting
for them to fail.
The district has streamlined
the curriculum to narrow the
focus to the core subject areas and has committed to making the course requirements for
the UC/CSU systems the default curriculum. This is aimed
at preparing more students to
be eligible to enter university.

Test scores are up, but don’t celebrate just yet!
T
he San Diego Unified School
District released their test
scores this past week. They
highlighted marked improvement in the overall scores: “Overall, students testing proficient or advanced on
the test increased by: English, 3 points
over 2010 and 14 points since 2007;
mathematics up 2 points from last year
and 12 since 2007.”
The same marked improvement was
also reported by the Sweetwater Unified
High School District: “The percentage
of students scoring proficient or advanced increased by 7% or more in
Spring 2011 compared with Spring 2010
in the following areas: Grade 10 English
(+8%); Grade 11 English (+8%); Algebra II (+10%); Biology (+7%); Grade 10
Life Science (+8%); Grade 8 Physical
Science (+9%); World History (+8%).”
The fact that test scores are improving
is a testament to the hard work and dedication by the teachers and school administrators who have had to overcome
monumental obstacles during these difficult years of continued cutbacks to
their budgets, resources, and yearly pink
slip threats.
Not only do teachers have to do more
with less, they have to spend more of
their own money and put in more hours
to ensure that their students have the supplies and support necessary to succeed.
On top of this, teachers have been under
greater scrutiny and focus as to what is
wrong with education. Yet despite the trials and tribulations of education, test
scores have improved in public schools.
So as critics blame public school teachers for all that is wrong with education,
they should praise them when there is
marked improvement in test scores. Hard
work and successful results should be
praised by pundits.
Adding to the validity of public education, the Los Angeles Times reported
Thursday that Los Angeles public schools
increased test scores more than the group
of schools operated by the mayor (who
tried to take over the whole school district six years ago) a charter organization
and others according to the Times analysis.
This is the good news. But we still have
a long ways to go as a Hispanic community!
Despite the improvement in test
scores, the achievement gap, which reflects the difference between Hispanic
learning versus the Anglo/Asian learning
achievement, is still significant. Hispanics and Black students are still learning
and achieving at a lower rate.
The dropout rate is still a major issue.
The California Department of Education
released figures for the dropout rate of
eighth graders. About 3.5 percent of
eighth graders — a total of 17,257 in all
— did not return for ninth grade. And
graduation rates showed “steep gaps,”
with graduation rate for Latinos 68 percent, 59 percent for African American
students and 56 percent for students who
are learning English. The graduation rate
is 83.4 for white students; for Asian students, it is 89.4 percent.
Finally, a report released by the White
House and the U.S. Department of Education details the current crisis in Latino
education. While one in four American
children is Latino, according to the document, the demographic has “the lowest
education attainment levels” in the country. More than 17.1 million Latinos
younger than age 17 live in the U.S.,
comprising more than 23 percent of the
country’s youth and nearly 22 percent of
all K-12 public school enrollment.
Sadly, less than half of such youths are
enrolled in early learning programs. Only
half of the population earns a high school
diploma on time, and when those students do, they’re half as likely to be
ready for college. The report goes on to
note that only 13 percent of the population holds a Bachelors degree.
So, yes, the fact that test scores are improving is indeed worth recognizing and
discussing. Although we are finally turning the corner on public education, it is
still too early to celebrate. When Hispanic students are at the same achievement level as their contempories, graduating in significant numbers, and equally
important succeeding in college, then we
can celebrate. Until then, we still have
much work to do.

servants can perform for half the cost.
None of these actions requires a two-thirds
vote.
These common sense moves would spark
a robust economic recovery in California and
free up resources to shore up many of those
education and health and human service programs that have been shredded over the last
several years.
It’s curious that such common sense measures are considered bold in Sacramento.
Fortunately, it seems that voters have come
to realize that California needs a fair tax system to fund our state’s future.
A recent Gallup poll found that 66% of
Americans support raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires.
This includes 45% of Republicans and 37%
of Tea Party supporters.
Meanwhile, polls in March and April in
California found similar results.
Almost 80% of California voters supported
raising the personal income taxes of individuals making $500,000 or more (78%).
As we move further into the fiscal year, it
would behoove our elected officials to heed
the will of the people.
Recent news reports concerning lower than
expected revenues in California during the
month of July have prompted some to ask
whether it will be necessary to enact additional budget cuts at the state level.
According to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for Governor Jerry Brown’s Department
of Finance, such talk is premature.
Palmer said that more sales tax receipts have
recently come in, and that July is not a big
month for revenues.
Aside from the fact that all of this could have
been easily avoided by extending revenues
from expiring sales, car, and state income
taxes, as the governor initially proposed, this
new development presents another opportunity to point out where the real waste in Sacramento lies.
If further budget cuts are needed, the ax
should fall first on the state’s failed enterprise zone program.
This useless program has been shown to be
ineffective at creating jobs and funnels about
$500 million of our precious taxpayer dollars
annually into the pockets of private businesses
through wasteful tax subsidies.

First Amendment Rights:
Under Fire in San Diego
Petitioners Experience Harassment &Threats
(Editor’s Note: For the past month signature gathers/petitioners you see on the street,
in front of stores, and even knocking on your
door, have come under heavy negative attacks. Lost in the attacks is the fact that the
petitioner on the street is just a working person trying to earn some money and for the
most part, are honest citizens. One of these
petitioners is an occasional writer for La
Prensa San Diego, Vivian Dunbar. The following is her perspective as a person in the
trenches facing the escalating harrasement
of the petition worker.)
By Vivian Marlene Dunbar
America’s first amendment rights are being
challenged on a daily basis here in San Diego
lately: the battlegrounds are our neighborhood
storefronts and shopping centers.
Most local shoppers have encountered at
least one person holding a clip board and asking them, “are you a registered voter,” then
asking them to sign a ballot initiative. Unfortunately, to those holding that clip board, most
shoppers seem quite unaware as to what a “petition” actually is. Petitioners, or circulators as
they are sometimes called, are often seen as
store front nuisances, and most recently, because of a very negative news campaign to
discourage voters from signing petitions, as
potential identity thieves.
Our local storefront petitioner is providing
voters with an opportunity to let their voice be
heard by helping get an issue on the ballot. The
signature is never a “yes” or “no”, simply an
agreement that the issue should be put to vote.
Usually, these petitions present an issue that
has been of current concern to the general public on either the local, city, county or state level.
Petitioners also bring hundreds of new and updated voter registrations to their respective offices each week.
Petitioners are protected by First Amendment
Free Speech rights, as well as California laws
and city codes, which include the right of anyone conducting peaceful political activities to
have access to any place that the public may
go, including parking lots and store fronts.
According to Wikipedia, “In the US, the right
to petition is guaranteed by the first amendment to the Federal Constitution which specifically prohibits Congress from abridging “The
right of the people...to petition the government
for a redress of grievances” “The right to petition is fundamental in a representative democracy, such as the US, as means of protecting
public participation in government.”
One of the very first significant uses of the
petition in our country was to abolish slavery,
by petitioning Congress back in 1830. 13,000
signatures were collected.
Our right to petition has been firmly upheld
by our Supreme Court on numerous occasions,
proving that it is considered an inalienable right.
I myself circulate petitions on a part time basis,
and would like to share my experiences and
that of my fellow petitioners, with San Diego
readers.
Despite the power of these first amendment
laws, the average petitioner is routinely disrespected. Shoppers often accuse the petitioner
of being a “hustler,” or “peddler.” One of the
female petitioners was actually called “a signature whore.” Major stores place signs next
to the petitioner, assuring shoppers that they
“do not support solicitors or petitioners in front
of their store” and further advise the shoppers
“not to sign their petitions.” Almost all petitioners have had bad experiences with individual
store managers around the county: some stories of hostile managers are traded like war
stories between petitioners. A variety of attempts are made to discourage petitioners, often these will include a threat to call the police.
Local police do know the first amendment laws,
as well as the city codes.
Lately, a very negative media campaign has
included an advertisement warning shoppers
not to sign petitions because of the possibility
that their information will be used for identity
theft. One ad goes so far as to suggest that the
signatures “will be sold to India” and that signature gatherers are potential criminals.
According to Jane Tomczac, owner of Victory Consultants, a firm that manages signature gathering, “all petitioners are subjected to
a thorough background check before becoming independent contractors for Victory Consultants.” Mrs. Tomczac’s North Park company has been serving the San Diego area for
over 20 years.
Three of the petitions being currently circulated are “labor sensitive,” or, according to
some, out and out “anti-union.” This perception disregards the purpose of all petitions,
which is merely to get an issue on the ballot.
In the Zip code area of 92154 and other city
zip code areas, home of the “pension petition”,
petitioners are being harassed by union blockers.
These are men who show up at the store, usually in a small group, and commence to interrupting petitioners as they try to gather signatures. The situation has gotten so bad that petition offices are giving out phone numbers to
circulators to call if confronted by blockers.
Anti-blockers arrive; attempt to runoff the union
blockers. Often the police, who can’t really do
much other than keep a brawl from occurring,
show up as well. This commotion has been
occurring on an almost daily basis in front of
stores in the Clairmont area and other locations around the city. Petitioners have also had
to endure being videotaped by people who
refuse to identify themselves. One lady petitioner arrived at the north park office in tears
after being harassed by union blockers.
In regards to the charge of identity thief I
have had to explain to people that the information we collect is the same as what anyone
could find in the telephone book. I also add that
we are registered with offices around the city
and cannot just simply hang out in front of a
store registering people to vote and gathering
signatures.
The most disheartening thing I myself and
other petitioners encounter in our daily work is,
not the negative TV ads, or hostile store owners, but the attitudes of the people passing by.
Many, many people just say “I don’t ever sign
those things!” “I stopped voting years ago!”
Or “the government just always does what it
wants anyway!” About 60-70% of shoppers
are in too much of a hurry to stop and sign an
initiative. Worse, most people, if asked, are
clueless as to what their First Amendment
Rights are, or what they stand for. People seem
to have lost an interest in their country.
In some states, legislators are attempting to
pass laws that will restrict petitioners in different ways, including attempting to control what
we say and how we say it.
Unfortunately it seems that a petitioner, trying to gather signatures for a ballot initiative in
front of our neighborhood grocery store, might
been seen a bit like a bald eagle, a symbol of
our American democracy, in danger of becoming extinct.

Commentary/Opinion Page
Perry’s Hiding Record Behind Angry Rhetoric
By Maria Cardona
Texas Gov. Rick Perry wants to be the next
president of the United States. He announced
his candidacy on Saturday and has since campaigned like an angry bull cornered by a Matador, no-holds barred—even going so far as to
seem to threaten bodily harm to the chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, Ben Bernanke. This
approach may help win him the nomination, but
it also will help lose him the White House.
Perry said at a campaign stop that they would
treat Chairman Bernanke “pretty ugly down in
Texas” if the Fed decided to implement a specific policy called quantitative easing, which
means the government puts more money into
circulation. Putting the policy itself aside, this
kind of talk is exactly what voters think is wrong
with Washington.
The firebrand technique may endear him to
the tea party faithful, but it will alienate him from
the critical voting bloc made up of sensible, rational, moderate, mainstream independent and
even Republican voters put off by the extreme
right-wing factions of their party. To listen to
Rick Perry and his supporters you might not think
he’d need the scorched-earth rhetoric. After all,
his boast that as Texas governor he has created
many jobs in Texas, in addition to his other accomplishments should be enough to catapult him
into frontrunner status.
And is it so important to Perry to try to outMichele-Bachmann Michele Bachmann, and
wrest from her the mantle of “tea party
frontrunner,” which is exactly what his inflammatory comments are designed to do? And how
to explain his hard-right tack, aimed at making
him the darling of the conservative movement,
bar none? It speaks volumes when one GOP
candidate says or does something that makes
the rest of this field look almost reasonable.
Moore: A tale of two Texans
What should voters make of Rick Perry’s personal insults and ugly rhetoric? Should we take
him at his word that he is just “passionate” about
these issues? Or should we look further and
perhaps wonder whether his “Texas Miracle”—
which is the way he refers to Texas under his
leadership — is not so miraculous after all. Let’s
take a look:
— When Perry took over as governor, unemployment was 4.2%. By last June it had risen to
8.2% from 8.1% the year before. Not the right
direction for job creation.
— More than a quarter of Texans have no
health care coverage.
— Texas ranks as one of the worst states in
education and education investment. A Texas
Legislative Study Group Report found that the
state ranks 43rd in high school graduations, 45th
in SAT scores, 44th in per pupil expenditure on
education and dead last in the percent of population 25 and older with a high school diploma
The group also reported that Texas ranks first in
the nation of states that allow toxic chemicals to
spew freely into the air and water.
— The job growth that has occurred in Texas
has happened because of independent factors
that had little to do with Perry, such as growth in
military spending and the increase in the price
of gasoline. Ironically, the majority of jobs that
have been created have been government jobs.
Over the past three years the Army has relocated about 14,000 troops to Fort Bliss, which is
outside El Paso, and plans to permanently relocate an additional 6,000 troops there in the next
two years, according to CNNMoney. According to a fact sheet issued in August of 2009 by
the Fort Hood Public Affairs Office, “Fort Hood
is the largest single site employer in Texas, directly inserting nearly $3 billion annually into the
Texas economy.”
Frum: Rick Perry’s strength and weakness:
Jobs
— The balanced budget that Perry likes to
brag about was made possible by accepting $6.4
million in stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — the program
that Perry loves to rail against every chance he
gets. Perry recently said “Washing-ton’s insatiable desire to spend our children’s inheritance
on failed stimulus plans and other misguided economic theories have given us record debt and
left us with far too many unemployed.”
Maybe that’s why he is so hot-tempered and
frazzled. But while the anger and frustration about
the economy and Washington D.C. among voters is real, it doesn’t mean the candidates need
to act it out in extreme ways by threatening violence. In fact, voters — at least general election
voters — want leaders who know how to lead,
how to solve, how to work together for the good
of the country, how to look to the positive side of
America and not appeal to the lowest common
denominator among us.
Certainly in recent weeks and months, Republicans have not demonstrated they know how
to do that. The debt ceiling debacle hurt
Washington’s image, but the current unfavorability numbers for the GOP are particularly dismal (almost 60% of Americans have an
unfavorable view of the GOP according to a
recent CNN poll).
If Rick Perry wants to be president, he should
think about taking a crash course in economic
and monetary policy (and perhaps some anger
management classes) so as not to scare away
the critical support of investors and business leaders who happen to respect the Federal Reserve
chairman, and with whom, if Perry wins, he will
have to work.
More importantly, he will need to find a way
to appeal to the conservatives who make up a
disproportionately high voting percentage within
the GOP primary process without destroying his
ability to credibly come back to the center and
talk about more moderate positions that the sensible mainstream of America wants from its leaders. At the moment, Rick Perry certainly does
not fit the bill.

Protecting Californians from Higher Taxes
ByAssembly Republican Leader
Connie Conway
Independence Day came early this year for
hard-working California taxpayers.
On July 1, higher taxes that began two years
ago expired and the average California family
will see a $1,000 dollars in tax savings.
Taxpayers saw their sales tax drop by one
cent, their car tax bill dropped by nearly half
and their full child dependent tax credit restored,
which is in addition to the lower income tax
rates that began on Jan. 1.
This much-needed relief comes because Assembly Republicans stood strong for the only
special interest group we represent: hard-working taxpayers. We remained united in your defense because we believe you deserve to keep
more money in your pocket.
Families struggling to make ends meet will
now be able to keep more of their hard-earned
money to spend on their needs, not fueling an
unsustainable state government. This will also
give a shot in the arm for the economy — particularly when too many Californians are out
of work.
All year long, Democrats and the “tax-andspend” lobby pressured Republicans to raise
taxes by $58 billion dollars through higher sales,
income and car taxes on Californians over five
years. These painful tax increases would have
hurt families and employers alike.
But we knew that struggling taxpayers could
not afford more burdens and that the budget could
be balanced without tax hikes, while still prioritizing funding for what we believe is important.
Assembly Republicans put forward a budget
proposal that keeps government out of your
wallet, while protecting funding in the classroom for our children and quality teachers,
where it belongs. It also ensures our police and
sheriff have the resources they need to keep
us safe.
In contrast, legislative Democrats passed a
majority-vote budget that contained hundreds
of millions in illegal fee increases and lacked
common-sense reforms. The Democrats’ budget rejected much-needed reforms to grow the
economy, cap spending and end unsustainable
gold-plated pensions for public employees.
Despite the problems with this majority vote
budget, the simple truth is Democrats demonstrated that a budget solution can be achieved
without massive tax hikes. Sadly, this realization may be short-lived. The majority party is
so hungry for more of your money that they’re
building a false case for future tax hikes. The
budget passed this week by Democrats relies
on scare tactics with so-called “triggers” if $4
billion in revenue does not materialize.
We are told that if we only take in $2 to $3
billion of the additional revenue that Democrats
project, we could see $100 million in new cuts
to both the UC and CSU systems.
We are told that if we take in $2 billion or less,
we could see a $1.5 billion reduction to our public schools. Democrats say this would mean
seven fewer classroom days and the elimination
of most state funding for school bus service.
When you see potential cuts like this, you
get a better sense of Democrats’ priorities.
However, economists estimate that the state
will take in $7.4 billion in projected revenue.
This is more than enough to fully fund our local schools and public safety programs without new taxes.
It all comes down to a question of our priorities. Assembly Republicans believe it makes
much more sense to fund our top priorities first
before we fund the extras. Let’s protect our
classrooms, public universities, law enforcement and infrastructure and cut union giveaways as well as big government programs we
can’t afford.
It’s time we stopped scaring Californians and
started being honest with them. It just requires
the political will to do so.
Assembly Republicans refuse to give up on
the fight to ensure that this independence from
taxes isn’t just a short-lived holiday.
In the Debate Over Immigration and
Deportations, the Facts Matter
By Cecilia Muñoz
conducted by law enforcement officials as they
fight crime in their communities, is central to
this strategy. It is the primary reason that the
deportation statistics show a dramatic increase
in the number of criminals deported from the
United States. The results of this strategy are
striking:
· There was a greater than 70% increase in
the deportation of those with criminal records
from FY2008 to FY2010, and a decrease of
those without criminal records.
· Today more than half of all removals are
people with criminal records.
· And among those removed who had no
criminal records, more than two thirds were
either apprehended as they crossed the border,
were recent arrivals, or were repeat violators
of immigration law, meaning that they had previously been deported.
Those statistics matter. While we have more
work to do, the statistics demonstrate that the
strategy DHS put in place is working. At the
same time, the Administration has also been
open and receptive to feedback from communities across the country. On June 17, DHS
announced important changes to the Secure
Communities Program, including creating an
ongoing review of the program so that DHS
can assess its effectiveness, and taking care to
protect witnesses or victims of crimes. Nothing can make up for the lack of comprehensive
reform, but the facts show this has been a good
strategy we can be proud of.
The Secure Communities Program is a powerful tool to keep the government’s immigration enforcement resources focused where
they belong – on those who fit within DHS’s
highest enforcement priorities, such as those
who have committed crimes in the United
States.
As too often happens in the debate over immigration, anger and heated rhetoric from all
sides dominate while the facts tend to get lost
along the way. So it’s important to set the record
straight. Fixing the broken immigration system
so that it meets America’s economic and security needs has been and continues to be a priority for President Obama. The President has
laid out a clear, detailed blueprint for reform
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/
rss_viewer/immigration_blueprint.pdf), but the
only way to do what’s necessary is for Congress to act and pass bipartisan legislation the
President can sign into law. Failing to act simply perpetuates a broken system. Unfortunately,
as the President has said, he needs a dance
partner across the aisle to move legislation forward, and so far the floor is empty.
While the President continues to work every
day to fix what’s broken about our immigration
system, he has also been clear that the executive branch has a responsibility to enforce the
law, and to do it in a way which is both vigorous and smart. So while legislation is pending,
this Administration has focused on improving
our immigration system by making enforcement
smarter and more effective. The fact is, Congressional funding for immigration enforcement
and deportations has been on the rise for the
past decade. For the first time ever, those resources are being used in a strategic and targeted way to ensure we’re maximizing public
safety.
Under the President’s direction, the Department of Homeland Security for the first time
ever has prioritized the removal of people who
have been convicted of crimes in the United
States. The Secure Communities Program

Food Conquered America (out April
2012) and is thus at the rancho, getting
handmade tortillas made by his chica in
pigtails while I work on rewrites. But instead

One guy calls his kids a mick-mockmex: quarter-Irish, quarter-Jewish
(“mock” was apparently a Jewish epithet)
and half-Mexican. Someone who is partMexican, -Italian and -Polish calls
themselves a Mexpotalian.
Other Latinos also joined the game. A
half-Spanish, half-American called
himself “spam,” a Cuban Jew goes by
Jewban, while a Peruvian from
Minnesota describes herself as a
Minneruvian. Meanwhile, a Puerto
Rican from New York insisted
thatdominicanos were half-Dominican,
half-anus (ano is “anus” in Spanish).
And a half-Indian, half-Jew wrote in at
the last moment with his moniker:
Gandhistein. But the final, wisest word
goes to a full-bloodedgabacho:
How about an American, like all of us
mutts?
Don’t see your nickname? E-mail me,

below described: 10169 Presley
St San Diego California 921265138 within Township 2S, Range
1W, Section 32, Aliquot NE NW

(1) THE CHARACTER OF SAID
PROPERTY SO CLAIMED BY
PATENT, and legally described
and referenced under Patent
listed above is:
THE LAND IS SITUATED IN
THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO,
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND

RIGHT OF ENTRY ON THE
SURFACE OR WITHIN A VERTICAL DEPTH OF 5OO FEET
BELOW THE PRESENT NATURAL SURFACE OF THE GROUND.
APN: 341-403-05-00.
And a Land Patent is the only
way a perfect title can be had in
my name: Wilcox v. Jackson
13 Pet. (U.S.) 498 , 10 L.Ed.
tions and mandamus proceedings will not lie against it:
Litchfield v. Register 9 Wal
(U.S.) 575, 19 L.Ed. 681.
(2) NOTICE AND EFFECT ON
LAND PATENT. A grant of land
is a public law standing on the
statute books of the State, and
is notice to every subsequent
purchaser under any conflicting
sale made afterwards: Wingmon
v. Gastrell 54 Fed 819, 4CCA
596, 2 US App. 581. A Patent
alone passes title to Grantee:
Wilcox v. Jackson, 12 Pet
(U.S.) 498, 10 L. Ed. 264.
Where the United States has
parted with the title by a patent
legally issued upon surveys legally made by itself and approved by the proper department
, the title so granted cannot be
impaired by any subsequent
survey made by the government
for its own purposes: Cage v.
Donks 13 LA. ANN. 128.
(3) LAND TITLE TRANSFER,
LEGAL TITLE- The patent vest
the legal title in the patentee (assignee) and is conclusive evidence of title. Gibson v. Chauleau 80 US 92, 20 L. Ed. 534,
TRANSFER OF PATENTEE(
ASSIGNEE) – Title and rights of
bonafied purchaser from patentee (assignee) will be protected

vest the legal title in the patentee (assignee) and is conclusive
evidence of title, Gibson v.
Chauleau 80 US 92, 20 L. Ed.
534.
This existing system of land
transfer is a long and tedious
process involving the observance of many formalities and
technicalities, a failure to observe any one of which may
defeat title , even where these
have been traced to its source,
the purchaser must but at his
peril , there always being in spite
of the uttermost care and expenditure, the possibility that his title
may turn out bad: Yeakle Torrens
System 209. If this land Patent
is not challenged within sixty (60)
days in a court of law by someone, or by the government, it
then becomes my property, as
no one has followed the proper
steps to get legal title, the final

Eight New Cabins Open at County’s
William Heise Park
Families Can Sleep Under a Roof,
Hike in Nature, Explore Julian
On Tuesday, County Supervisor Dianne
Jacob joined County Parks and Recreation to
open eight new family cabins at William Heise
Park in Julian, more than doubling the number
of cabins available at the popular mountain
park.
“This park has it all—gorgeous views, plenty

said Supervisor Jacob. “These smartly designed cabins invite a huge segment of the
population who enjoy getting out in nature, but

With the new additions, Heise now offers
the most cabin sites at a County park— 14—

an outdoor picnic table, fire ring and grill. The
cabins are situated for views and privacy.
Seven of the cabins are 14 by 16 feet and,

COOKING WITH THE DUTCHESS:

Artistas latinos brillan en festival Outside Lands
By Hanneke Eerden
Vegetable Pie
As you might know,
I’m not quite a vegetable fan. I’m a
meat fan! But I understand that vegetables are necessary (so they say…)
so I try and I try. And
Hanneke Eerden
sometimes I come up
with a fantastic way
to serve these! Like this time, I have a super
tasty vegetable pie for you!
Last week when I visited a supermarket in
Germany (that’s about 15 minutes from my
home) I saw puff pastry rolls in the fridge. Super easy! It’s a large sheet, and way better then
the small square puff pastry sheets I always
used to buy. One roll (or sheet) is enough for
one large pie and then the idea of this vegetable
pie started to bubble up in my mind. Okay I
admit, other pies too but those didn’t had anything to do with vegetables so I’m going to leave
those out of this story!
I never liked vegetables, so it’s nothing new.
When I was little my Mom had to puree all the
vegetables for me otherwise I couldn’t eat them.
Yes it’s true, and I understand you think it’s weird
but it gets weirder… I added apple sauce to
every vegetable… sorry to mention that but I
told you it would get weirder! Luckily that
doesn’t happen anymore but it took me a long
time to break that habit. Thinking back, I can’t
imagine it anymore and I really seriously doubt
the fact that it made things tastier… sweeter
yes and the taste of apple sauce probably covered up all the other tastes. When you look at it
that way I can only say that I was actually a
smart kid! Yes, with a very bad taste, I know!
Back to today’s recipe: for this pie I went a
little more southern into Europe, and sprinkled
a little touch of France and Italy into the recipe.
Of course you’re free to add or leave out ingredients that you don’t like (or you can’t find).
But first I give you the advice to try this version
I’m giving you, it’s really good!
Good to know: these amounts are for a small pie (2 persons)
Ingredients:
Puff pastry
1 zucchini
½ roasted red bell pepper
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
1 cup mushrooms
2 slices anchovies fillets
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg
Pepper/salt
1 cup grated cheese (I used Gouda cheese, you can pick one with an aged taste)
Chipotle chile seasoning
Récord de asistencia en la cuarta edición del evento
Por Eduardo Stanley
SAN FRANCISCO — Outside
Lands cumplió cuatro años de
vida y ya se ha convertido en
el evento musical de gran parte
de California.
Aunque predomina el rock
en casi todas sus variantes, hay
buena representación de otros
géneros musicales entre sus
casi 75 artistas que se presentan en sus cuatro escenarios durante los tres días de
duración del evento, que este
año transcurrió entre el 12 y el
14 de agosto.
La presencia latina estuvo a
cargo de Ana Tijoux, Ximena
Sariñana, Julieta Venegas y el
DJ Instituto Mexicano del
Sonido.
“Me gustó mucho estar
aquí”, dijo muy animada Ximena Sariñana —quien cumplirá 26 años en octubre—
después de su actuación. “Uno
no sabe qué esperar en este
tipo de eventos”.
Ximena representa a una
nueva generación de artistas
mexicanos que mezcla rock,
electrónica y jazz en su música.
Su nuevo CD, que lleva su
nombre, es en inglés. “Estuve
en los premios Grammy de
2009 y allí me ofrecieron la
oportunidad de hacerlo para
acceder a un mercado más
internacional y me pareció una
buena idea”.
Ana Tijoux, nacida en Francia
de padres chilenos, también
estrenó canciones ya que su
nuevo CD está próximo a salir
a la venta. Ella y su hip hop han
dado la vuelta al mundo y su
presentación en Outside Lands
creó expectativas. Ana se
popularizó con su tema “1977”,
difundido el año pasado.
La presentación de Julieta
Venegas atrajo a centenares de
sus seguidores. Vestida de
manera sobria, elegante, Julieta
paseó su música con talento y
con una amplia sonrisa. Pasó
de teclados a la guitarra y, por
suspuesto, al acordeón, en
transiciones musicales afinadas
que despertaron el aplauso y los
vítores de la audiencia.

Outside Lands de San Francisco. Foto: Eduardo Stanley
“Estoy felíz de poder ver a
Julieta”, dijo Javier Zaragoza,
uno de sus fans. “Veo más
bandas latinas aquí, me parece
muy bien”.
Por su parte, Instituto Mexicano del Sonido se presentó en
una carpa reservada a los DJs
y puso a bailar a cientos de
jóvenes con sus mezclas de
temas tradicionales con nuevos
sonidos.
El festival Outside Lands ha
ido creciendo en importancia
y creatividad. Este año, en uno
de sus tres días llegó a su
máxima capacidad de 60 mil
asistentes.
Este festival tiene lugar en
el bello parque Golden Gate de
San Francisco. Además de
escenarios hay varios eventos
y presentaciones que atraen a
una amplia variedad de público.
Por ejemplo, un pequeño circo
con entretenidas funciones que
incluyen vaqueros, bailes y
música.
El festival simboliza además
el placer de los residentes de
esa ciudad por la buena comida
y el buen vino: 30 bodegas se
hacen presentes para ofrecer
sus productos a los visitantes.
“Aquí encuentras 110 tipos
diferentes de vinos”, explicó
Peter Eastlake, curador de la
carpa de vinos llamada Wine
Lands. “Las bodegas no solo
traen sus productos, también
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Chop all the vegetables, and don’t chop them too coarsely.
Line a pie mold with parchment paper and then fold in, carefully, the puff pastry. With a fork
stab a few times on the bottom and the sides, otherwise the pastry will be too thick after it’s
done. The pastry that falls over the edge of the mold you can cut it off (a scissor is the best
thing to use).
Add the vegetables. In a large measuring cup whisk the egg and add the heavy cream, pepper/
salt and the cheese. Whisk it again and then pour it over the vegetables. The cheese will end up
on top and that’s perfect.
Sprinkle the chipotle chile seasoning over it and put it in the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes before you remove the mold. Great to serve with grilled chicken
and potatoes! More pictures of this recipe you can find on my website.
It’s Dinner Time!

Humane attitude to
deportation is adopted
by the White House
(con’t from page 1)
by some agents. If the DHS is
sincere in implementing this
new policy they need to make
sure all agents are on board,
or at least publicly on board.
In the past, criticisms by federal agents have caused confusion and fear among most
immigrant communities which
lead to a breakdown of trust
between the communities and
DHS.
With such an important
change in policy, something
like that doesn’t need to be repeated.
With this blanket review,
most groups are assuming that
this change explicitly means
that DREAM Act students
won’t be deported. For all
practical purposes, that should
be the case since a student in
good standing with high moral
character (two requirements to
qualify as a DREAM Act student) would meet the low-level
criteria.
However, nowhere does it
explicitly say DREAM Act students. Unfortunately, in the past
what is assumed doesn’t always mean certainty. DHS
agents have a tendency to disregard anything that is not explicitly spelled out in guidelines.
Hopefully, this is not one of
those times.
While many in the Latino
community are praising this
move, hardened skepticism remains, especially in light of a
federal judge’s statements that
immigration officials purposely
mislead states and governments on the immigration enforcement program known as
Secure Communities.
“There is ample evidence
that ICE [Immigration and
Customs Enforcement] and
DHS [Department of Homeland Security] have gone out
of their way to mislead the public about Secure Communities,”
U.S. District Judge Shira A.
Scheindlin wrote in an opinion
on the release of the documents. “In particular, these
agencies have failed to acknowledge a shift in policy
when it is patently obvious —
from public documents and
statements — that there has
been one.”
No one in the Latino community is stupid enough to not believe that this sudden change of
heart is a way to win Latino
votes. Most see today’s action
as a direct response to the mass
rallies and protests against the
Secure Communities program
being held across the country
this week, even at Obama’s
campaign headquarters.
No doubt this “enlightened”
way to deal with our broken
immigration system is a political move but above all, it’s the
right move.
However, it remains to be
seen if it’s enough of a move
to garner votes in 2012 — now
that we officially know the
truth about the Secure Communities program.

Y como esto es San Francisco, la comida es de mejor

dependiendo de las bandas o
artistas que se presentan”, dijo
Andie Yamagani, de Gordo
Taquería, especializada en
venta de burritos. “Me gusta
hablar con la gente que viene
aquí”, dijo con tono alegre.
“Quiero ver a Julieta Venegas!”, dijo Guiselle Osorio,
dueña del stand Sabores del Sur,
un puesto de comida que se
especializa en empanadas y
alfajores —populares en Sudamérica. Guiselle es chilena y
dice que disfruta el trabajo que
hace aunque es “muy estresante”. Y agrega, de buen humor: “hoy vino un señor de San
Diego a comprar alfajores, dijo
que los había probado por
primera vez con nosotros el año
pasado!”
Pero Outside Lands presenta más opciones, como

es popular entre latinos—,
hula-hula para quienes pueden
mover a gusto las caderas y
hasta una “troupe”, banda informal de músicos y bailarines
se pasean con sus instrumentos llevando alegría e
invitando a bailar a quien
quiera.
No sorprende entonces el
deseo de José González, líder
de la banda sueca Junip, cuyo
estilo folk cautivó a la audiencia
de Outside Lands, “Me gusta
el estilo relax de este festival…

Igual que nosotros.
