Danza mexicana pondrá a bailar a San Diego
PERSPECTIVE
By Jim Estrada
It is becoming clear that too many
in our society have reached a level
of comfort with overt expressions of
bias and racial discrimination towards
non-whites, especially among those
who feel those “unlike” them are taking over “their” country. This fear of
invading hordes of those who are different or unknown is rearing its ugly
head in an increasing number of situations.
This form of xenophobia has manifested itself in a variety of ways, including permissive attitudes and actions among members of a declining
white “majority” towards former
“minority” groups that are becoming
the new “majority” in many parts of
the nation. For many xenophobes the
fear of losing their “majority” status
and historical entitlement of dominance is motivating their behaviors.
Their attitudes are frequently expressed by bumper sticker and
placard slogans like “We want our
country back!”
The vehemence of those espousing such expressions is no longer associated solely with white extremist
or supremacist groups. In spite of the
many contributions made to the USA
by citizens of all races, colors and
creeds, these increasing overt acts of
hate and bigotry belie the principles
of our democracy. For generations,
U.S. Americans have supported these
principles — many having paid the
ultimate price to insure “liberty and
justice for all.”
The killing this past November of
68-year-old African-American Marine veteran Kenneth Chamberlain,
Sr., who was fatally shot inside his
apartment by White Plains, NY police responding to a false alarm from
his medical alert pendant; the shooting of unarmed black teenager
Trayvon Martin while returning from
the store to his gated-community
home in Sanford, Florida; the hunting, shooting and killing of Latino immigrants from the U.S. border states
to the Northeastern Atlantic states,
and recent Tulsa, Oklahoma shootings
that left three black men dead and
two more wounded are examples of
the growing public display of disrespect and prejudice visited on nonwhite members across the country.
The recent NCAA basketball tournament game between Kansas State
University and Southern Mississippi
University, where the chant, “Where’s
your green card?” — a reference to
immigrant status — was directed at
K-State player Angel Rodriguez by
supporters of the opposing team.
Rodriguez, born in the U.S. Territory
of Puerto Rico, is a U.S. citizen — a
fact most high school and college students should have already learned in
their geography classes. Some consider such behaviors as aberrations,
actions of the criminal elements or kids
just having fun. But consider the examples parents and other adults are
providing for their children with the banning of ethnic studies in predominant
ethnic school districts, English-language only requirements, voter photo
ID laws, and the passage of anti-immigration laws in many states that
trample the civil rights of U.S.-born
and naturalized Latino citizens.
Add to them the racial invectives
and ongoing challenges to our President’s proof of U.S. citizenship, his
alleged relationship to Muslim radicals, and the public disrespect shown
him by his fellow elected colleagues
— actions that are rationalized as
political differences and the right to
free speech. These aforementioned
cases are but a few examples of the
xenophobic frenzy and overt prejudice that has become too common in
our public discourse. Actions like

La danza mexicana es uno de los
tesoros más preciados del País
Azteca. En gran parte se debe a que
cada región tiene su propia expresión
musical y dancística.
Es por ello que el 19 de mayo a
partir de las 3 p.m., se llevará a cabo
México a través de sus danzas, el
primer encuentro de danzas mexicanas en el Organ Pavilion ubicado
en el Parque Balboa.
El evento es organizado por el
Consulado General de México en San

un país con mucha diversidad, como
se refleja en los diferentes bailes
típicos.
Las danzas regionales son el eje
entorno al cual giran varios elementos,
de la cultura popular, lo cual, tiene
mucho sentido”, señaló la cónsul. “Es
muy importante subrayar que México
es un país plural de profundas raíces
populares, indígenas, mestizas, y que
las expresiones culturales varían
notablemente de una región a otra”.
Para Gómez Arnau, San Diego es
el lugar perfecto para hacer una
muestra de la danza mexicana.

‘Abuse of Power’ at Core of DOJ Lawsuit Against Arpaio
By Valeria Fernández
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
PHOENIX – Latino activists in Arizona
lauded the news that the Department
of Justice was filing a federal lawsuit against the Maricopa County
Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights
violations.
The suit, filed Thursday in federal
court, is the latest chapter in a fouryear-long investigation that began
after Sheriff Joe Arpaio started conducting immigration sweeps in Latino
communities, raising allegations of
racial profiling and discrimination.
“The wheels of justice move slow,
but they are still moving. In this case
our community has been waiting
close to four years for today,” said
Daniel Ortega, a civil rights attorney
and chairman of the board of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
“The racial profiling continues in this
community despite of what the Department of Justice has done.”
But some activists say the lawsuit
is not enough.
“What we’re asking is for the Justice Department to continue and indict Arpaio on the criminal charges
they are investigating for abuse,” said
Salvador Reza, an activist from
Tonatierra whose case is mentioned
in the lawsuit as a victim of alleged
retaliation.
The federal lawsuit comes as negotiations broke down with the
Sheriff’s office over the DOJ’s requirement to impose a monitor of the
law-enforcement agency, after the
Justice Department released a scathing report in December.
The findings alleged that sheriff
deputies engaged in a “pattern and
practice” of civil rights violations, including racial profiling during traffic
stops, discrimination against Latino
inmates in county jails, and acts of
retaliation against those who criticized
Arpaio.
But the DOJ findings went beyond
issues affecting the Latino community.
“At its core, this is an abuse of
power case involving a sheriff, and a
sheriff’s office that disregarded the
Constitution,” explained Perez.
It’s unclear how these allegations
could affect the ongoing separate
criminal investigation into Sheriff
Arpaio’s alleged abuse of power. The
complaint lists a number of critics of
the Maricopa County sheriff – not all
of them Latino – who were allegedly
subjected to acts of retaliation by
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Arpaio and former Maricopa County
prosecutor Andrew Thomas.
The Arizona State Bar recently
disbarred Thomas in connection to his
activities in the Maricopa County
Anti-Corruption Unit (MACE), which
he founded with Arpaio. The bar
claims that Arpaio, Thomas and others engaged in “a concerted effort to
wrestle power” against the Board of
Supervisors, judges and county officials to “instill fear in the hearts of
those who would resist.”
“Nobody is above the law, and
nobody can misuse the legal process
to silence those with different opinions,” said Perez.
No other choice
This week’s lawsuit is only the
second time in U.S. history that the
DOJ has to brought suit against a law
enforcement agency. Normally, the
Justice Department is able to come
to an agreement with agencies to fix
any problems. That’s what happened
in 1997, when the DOJ reached an
agreement the Maricopa County

The Saga of Immigrant Youth — the gap between feeling American and
becoming American on paper
By Gaby Pacheco
LATINALISTA
Next month, the country’s educational community celebrates the 30th
anniversary of the U.S. Supreme
Court’s landmark decision in Plyler
vs. Doe. In Plyer vs. Doe, the high
court ruled in June 1982 that it was
against the law to prohibit primary and
secondary education to an undocumented student. Although the decision has stood for nearly 30 years,
attaining higher education for undocumented high school graduates has
been, for most, a long, distant dream
— a nightmare, even.
Too often, politics has gotten in the
way of common-sense policy. In
2001, a bi-partisan effort led by Sen.
Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Sen. Dick
(see License to Hate, page 4) Durbin (D-IL) resulted in the intro-
duction of the Development Relief for
Alien Minors Act, or the DREAM
Act.
This legislation, which many had
hopes of passing, came to a screeching halt after the September 11th
attacks. Since then, officials like Kris
Kobach (the Kansas Secretary of
State, who’s a key architect of
Arizona’s S.B. 1070 immigration bill)
have used fear tactics to fuel antiimmigrant sentiment.
A climate of hate, under the pretense that immigrants are criminals,
have defined the immigration narrative, especially within the extreme
wing of the Republican Party. When
the DREAM Act came up for a vote
in 2010, it was a Republican filibuster and five Democrats that altogether deferred the dreams of
thousands of immigrant youth.
Across the country, students who
were raised as Americans — who
attend public high schools, who seek
to become full-fledged, contributing
citizens of the country they call home
— live in limbo.
As we mark the Supreme Court’s
decision on Plyler vs. Doe, it’s fitting
that the DREAM Act and access to
higher education are again at the forefront of the contentious conversation
on immigration reform. Conveniently
enough, the attention also comes in
an election year, when both parties
seek the Latino vote, which will prove
critical, particularly in swing states.
For two years, the GOP has either
been silent or shown great apathy on
the issue. When asked about the
DREAM Act during the Republican
primaries, Gov. Mitt Romney said, “If
Congress was to pass the DREAM
Act, I would veto it.” But a few
weeks ago, surprisingly, the silence
and apathy was broken by Sen.
Marco Rubio (R-FL).
Rubio picked up the flag left behind in the battle field after the
DREAM Act vote and began talking
once again about education and immigrant youth — and a path to legalization for them.
United We Dream, the largest national organization of undocumented
youth, has not dismissed Rubio’s attempt just yet. We are eager to learn
the details of his upcoming bill. As the
people who are directly impacted by
this issue, we appreciate the senator’s
interest to listen to our stories. We
are thankful for being asked for our
ideas on what the legislation will say,

the public’s attention, we are
challenging Republicans and
Democrats and President
Barack Obama.
Four years ago, under the
banner of hope and change, he
promised to take on immigration reform during his first term.
Though the Department of
Homeland Security has offered some failed attempts of
relief, through prosecutorial
discretion, the Obama administration has also deported the
highest number of immigrants
in the history of the United
States.
But Obama can also execute
the power he holds in his hand
— the power to stop the deportation of immigrant youth
and grant them temporary relief, while Congress addresses
the issue in a more complete
and lasting way. After all, the
Obama administration has increasingly been using Executive power under the slogan
“We Can’t Wait.”
We will continue to push for
the President to take action.
Sitting through my American
history honors and AP classes,
and learning the basis and
foundation of this country, I’ve
learned that the road to justice,
though arduous, is one that
America has always found.
Immigrant youth, like myself,
fervently ask for an opportunity to adjust our undocumented status so that we can
then serve and participate fully
in our communities.
I graduated college in 2005;
since I haven’t been able to
work because I don’t have
papers, I went back to school
and earned two other degrees,
one of which is in special education. I love children. My
deepest desire is to one day be
in a classroom teaching elementary-school children with
Down Syndrome and autism so
that they too have a voice —
that they, too, matter in this
country.
We are hopeful that the gap
between feeling American and
becoming American on paper
soon becomes a reality. In the
meantime, trendsetters and
pioneers of education in this
country, like Dr. Eduardo

Ingeniero egresado
retorna a City College
Joel Valdovinos
Por Pablo Jaime Sáinz
Fue su amor por el fútbol
soccer lo que llevó a Joel
Valdovinos a matricularse en
San Diego City College hace
más de 20 años. Su coach de
fútbol de la high school, Milton
Hidalgo, iba a comenzar a
enseñar en SDCC, así que
Valdovinos decidió seguirlo.
También fue en parte su
amor por el soccer lo que hizo
que en su segundo año en el
colegio decidiera estudiar
ingeniería civil.
“Durante mi segundo año en
San Diego City College supe
que quería estudiar ingeniería
civil ya que la carrera proveía
ciertos componentes que
estaban en mi lista de gustos”,
dijo Valdovinos. “Por ejemplo,
preparar los planes (diseño),
trabajar dentro y fuera de la
oficina, trabajar como parte de
un equipo (como en el fútbol)
y el bono es que es una carrera
muy bien pagada”.
Después de 20 años, luego
de transferirse y graduarse de
San Diego State University, y
después de fundar su propia
compañía, CValdo Corporation, Valdovinos ha recibido dos
reconocimientos de su alma
mater, San Diego City College:
premios por desempeño a un
negocio de minorías.
La CValdo Corporation, con
sede en el Morena District, es
una compañía de ingeniería
civil de plan y diseño con
experiencia en obras públicas,
control de drenaje, calidad de
agua, desarrollo comercial y
residencial.
Valdovinos trabajó en City
College en un plan de prevención de contaminación de
agua de lluvia. El equipo de
Valdovinos fue reconocido por
su profesionalismo, atención a
los detalles y seguimiento.
“El trabajo fue hecho antes de que yo lo supiera, y fue
completado correctamente.
Recuerdo pensar que desearía
que todos los ingenieros civiles
fueran de esa manera”, dijo
Tom Fine, gerente de proyectos de City College.
Para Valdovinos, recibir
estos premios le han dado “un
sentimiento muy conmovedor
al saber que el esfuerzo y
trabajo puesto en este proyecto ha sido reconocido por
nuestro cliente”.
Dijo que su consejo para los
jóvenes latinos que están
pensando estudiar ingeniería
civil es no tenerle miedo a la
educación superior.
“Lo primero que comparto
es que la universidad es como
la high school, que hay muchas
maneras de pagar por la universidad y que ir a la universidad es una experiencia
única”, dijo Valdovinos. “Sin
mencionar los grandes beneficios que obtendrán al
graduarse”.
Valdovinos dijo que su experiencia de trabajar para el
San Diego Community College
District ha sido importante, al
igual que los tres años que pasó
como estudiante y jugador de
fútbol ahí mismo hace más de
20 años.
“Estamos más agradecidos
por la oportunidad y demostrar
que la gente local puede venir
en círculo y regresar a su
comunidad y ayudarla en
muchas maneras”, dijo.

Engineering alumnus gives
back to City College
By Pablo Jaime Sáinz
It was his love for soccer
that made Joel Valdovinos enroll at San Diego City College
more than 20 years ago. His
high school soccer coach,
Milton Hidalgo, was going to
start teaching at SDCC, so
Valdovinos decided to follow
him.
It was also, in part, his love
for soccer that during his
second year at the college,
he decided to major in civil
engineering.
“During my second year at
San Diego City College I knew
I wanted to study civil engineering since the career provided
certain components that were
in my list of likes,” Valdovinos
said. “For example, prepare
the plans (design), work in and
out of the office, work as part
of a team (just like soccer), and
the bonus was the high paying
career.
More than 20 years later,
after transferring and graduating from San Diego State University, and after founding his
own company, CValdo Corporation, Valdovinos has received
two recognitions from his alma
mater, San Diego City College:
Recognition Award for Exemplary Performance by a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Recognition
Award for Exemplary Performance by a Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE).
CValdo Corporation, based
in the Morena District, is a planning and design civil engineering firm with expertise in public works, drainage and flood
control, water quality, commercial development and residential development.
Valdovinos was recognized
by campus project managers
throughout the SDCCD, and is
honored for his “excellent
work and great attitude” as
part of its first annual Contractor Recognition Program, honoring four small businesses for
exemplary performance, and
four construction management
and professional services firms
for exemplary practices in small
business outreach and engagement.
Brought on to work on a
storm water pollution prevention plan at City College in collaboration with an existing civil
engineer and project design
team, the CValdo team was
acknowledged for its professionalism, attention to detail and
follow-through.
“The work was done before
I knew it, and the task completed correctly. I remember
thinking that I wished all civil
engineers were this way,”
noted City College Campus
Project Manager Tom Fine.
For Valdovinos, receiving
these awards give him “a very
rewarding feeling to know that
the hard work and effort that
is placed on the preparing of
construction documents and
the coordination involved with
the many trades is recognized
by our client.”
The District’s five Recognition Awards for small and historically underutilized businesses (S/HUBE) acknowledge excellence in each nominated firm’s respective discipline or skillset, and in their performance on Propositions S
and N projects. Award recipients demonstrate adherence to
the District’s design, building,
and safety standards, assure
on-time delivery within budget,
and compliance with all regulatory requirements.
“It is always a pleasure to
work with civil engineers that
understand their business,”
said David Umstot, vice chancellor of Facilities Management for the San Diego Community College District.
“CValdo has performed exemplarily on a number of storm
water engineering projects for
us during the past two years.
We are pleased to recognize
them for their ‘can do’ attitude
and contributing to our bond
program infrastructure build
out necessary to support our
educational mission.”
Valdovinos said that, having
graduated from San Diego
High School and then attending San Diego City College, he
is a product of barrio schools.
“I attended the local barrio
schools where studying was
definitely not a priority, but
thank God to my parents that
showed me and my siblings
about respect to others, good
manners, and to focus on completing our homework, that
was a must in our house,”
Valdovinos said. “I strongly
believe this strong background
has carried me to where I am
now.”
He said that his advice for
young Latinos who are thinking of going into civil engineering is not to be afraid of higher
education.

Rolling Back Protections for
Domestic Violence Victims
By Lynn Rosenthal and
Felicia Escobar
Since 1994, the Violence
Against Women Act (VAWA)
has been an essential tool in
helping to protect victims of
domestic and sexual violence. While seeking to improve
criminal justice and communitybased responses to victims of
abuse, VAWA ultimately changed the landscape for those previously left to suffer in silence.
Since then, Congress – on a
bipartisan basis — has repeatedly shown its commitment to
preserving and enhancing the
core goals of VAWA by increasing protections in all subsequent
VAWA reauthoriz-ations. This
was recently demonstrated by
the Senate’s VAWA reauthorization bill (S. 1925) introduced
by Senators Patrick Leahy (DVT) and Mike Crapo (R-ID)
that passed last month on a vote
of 68 to 31, with strong bipartisan support. S. 1925 was introduced after months of input
from a wide range of stakeholders. Unfortunately, Republican leaders in the House have
taken a different approach,
with the introduction of H.R.
4970, a bill authored by Rep.
Sandy Adams (FL-24), that actually rolls back protections for
victims of domestic violence. On Tuesday, on a vote of
17-15, House Republicans
passed this measure out of the
House Judiciary Committee,
without properly considering the
cross-jurisdictional sections that
provide for protections on tribal
lands, in federal housing programs, and on college campuses
around the country.
The Adams bill adds burdensome, counter-productive requirements that compromise
the ability of service providers
to reach victims, fails to adequately protect Tribal victims,
lacks important protection and
services for LGBT victims,
weakens resources for victims
living in subsidized housing, and
eliminates important improvements to address dating vio-
lence and sexual assault on
college campuses. Among the
most troubling components of
this bill are those that jettison
and drastically undercut existing and important, long-standing protections that remain vital to the safety and protection
of battered immigrant victims.
Since its inception, VAWA
has reflected the unique circumstances that immigrant victims
face, and as such, has demonstrated a commitment to offering them protection and addressing the specific issues that endanger the lives of these particularly vulnerable victims. This
commitment includes addressing the problems faced by immigrants married to or in relationships with abusive citizens
or legal residents. In many of
these relationships, abusive partners use immigration status as
a tool to control and further
abuse immigrant victims. Currently, VAWA addresses this by
allowing battered immigrants to
petition for their own immigration status—independent of
their abusive spouses – freeing
them from their spouse’s abuse
and control.
The Adams bill takes a significant step backwards from
the existing law by allowing immigration officials to interview
an alleged offender and consider the information obtained
in making a determination
about the adjudication of a battered immigrant’s petition for
status. This not only undermines the critical protection of
confidentiality relied on by victims to find safety for themselves and their children, it also
allows abusers to manipulate
the immigration process to
cause further harm. Because
the risks of serious injury and
homicide increase when a victim is taking steps to leave an
abusive relationship, this provision puts victims directly in
harm’s way. This proposal guts
nearly 18 years of established
law and undermines the very
foundation of VAWA. Never
before have policy makers re-
treated on the core VAWA
principle of victim safety.
The bill also discourages immigrants from reporting sexual
assault and other crimes by
placing other unnecessary restrictions on the U visa program and fails to provide an
increase in the number of available visas. The U visa is a tool
widely used and supported by
law enforcement officials in
order to help keep our communities safe by prosecuting
criminals. Many law enforcement agencies have called upon
Congress to increase the number of available U visas so that
they can encourage victims to
come forward, report crimes,
and receive the help they need
to be safe.
Finally, the Adams bill will
decentralize the VAWA immigration adjudications process –
bypassing examiners who are
specifically trained in domestic violence and sexual assault
– and mandates additional interviews for battered immigrants, causing unnecessary
burdens on victims. Immigrant
victims often have limited options to escape abusive relationships and the provisions in
the Adams bill contradict the
very purpose of VAWA by putting victims’ lives, health, and
safety at risk.
Our nation’s laws should
continue to strengthen protections for our most vulnerable
populations – not roll back
those safeguards. The long
standing bipartisan commitment to ending domestic violence must continue to be
supported and strengthened to
better protect all victims from
violence, abuse, and exploitation. We urge the House of
Representatives to join with the
Senate in passing a bipartisan
VAWA reauthorization bill that
protects all victims.

House Advisor on Violence
Against Women. Felicia
Escobar is the Senior Policy
Director for Immigration.

Hace unos días participé en

que decenas de inmigrantes de

estado de Maryland. Los
graduados eran trabajadores
de todas las edades que invirtieron todo su empeño y
sacaron adelante distintos
cursos para superarse y mejorar sus condiciones laborales.
Verlos sonreír y recibir su
diploma con la esperanza
marcada en el rostro, me hizo

Durante la ceremonia de

al evento.
“Yo personalmente me siento muy orgullosa de haber

The First Lady’s Let’s Move! Child Care Initiative Selects Neighborhood Marines Create Footprint
House Association for Exceptional Work to Prevent Childhood Obesity Aboard USS San Diego
On May 9 First Lady’s Let’s
Move! Child Care initiative
recognized Neighborhood
House Association (NHA) of
San Diego for exceptional work
to promote young children’s
health and prevent childhood
obesity. NHA was recognized
at the Let’s Move! Child Care
Recognition Luncheon. The
Let’s Move! Child Care Recognition Luncheon Washington,
DC. featured White House Assistant Chef and Senior Policy
Advisor for Healthy Food Initiatives, Sam Kass who gave
the keynote speech highlight
NHA’s efforts.
NHA was selected for recognition for carrying out exceptional work to promote and
implement the goals of Let’s
Move! Child Care, including
using creative strategies, engaging families in obesity prevention efforts, and overcoming challenges to get children
moving and encourage healthy
eating in the early care and
education setting. NHA is one
of twenty selected for recognition, including early education
and child care programs and
networks, communities, and
states.
“NHA is honored to be recognized by the First Lady’s
Let’s Move! initiative, and to
contribute in the fight against
childhood obesity,” said
Rudolph A. Johnson III, President and CEO of NHA. “As a
large organization with a passion for preschool nutrition,
NHA believes that it has the
potential to positively impact
others that may want to duplicate our efforts. This recognition solidifies that NHA has
become a model for building a
healthier future for children and
families not just in San Diego,
but across the entire nation.”
Let’s Move! Child Care is a
nationwide call-to-action to
empower early education and
child care programs to make
positive health changes in children that could last a lifetime.
The initiative focuses on five
goals:
· Physical Activity: Provide
1-2 hours of physical activity
throughout the day, including
outside play when possible.
· Screen Time: No screen
time for children under 2 years.
For children age 2 and older,
strive to limit screen time to no
more than 30 minutes per
week during child care, and
work with parents and caregivers to ensure children have
no more than 1-2 hours of
quality screen time per day, the
amount recommended by the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
· Food: Serve fruits or vegetables at every meal, eat
meals family-style when possible, and no fried foods.
· Beverages: Provide access to water during meals and
throughout the day, and do not
serve sugary drinks. For children age two and older, serve
low-fat (1%) or non-fat milk,
and no more than one 4-6
ounce serving of 100% juice
per day.
· Infant feeding: For mothers who want to continue
breastfeeding, provide their
milk to their infants and welcome them to breastfeed during the child care day; and support all new parents in their
decisions about infants.
NHA’s efforts against the
prevention of childhood obesity
are primarily driven by a costeffective, groundbreaking preschool menu. The agency
implemented a menu overhaul
that was spearheaded by a
Registered Dietitian and professional chef to provide
healthy meals to over 2,000
children daily. The new menu
was designed to eliminate processed and pre-packaged
foods by including local, fresh,
natural, and organic foods. The
pioneering nutrition program
also partners with Farm to
Preschool to teach children
and parents about local produce, agriculture and the benefits of eating healthy foods.

resonate with claims brought
by another suit that is still pending against Arpaio, which was
filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the
Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
(MALDEF).
The racial-profiling lawsuit is
now reaching its litigation stage
and will go to court on July 19.
The federal court will have
to make a determination of
whether or not the DOJ lawsuit relates to the suit filed by
the civil rights organizations
and, if so, it could be assigned
to judge Murray Snow, who is
handling the other lawsuit. That
means that both cases potentially could be consolidated into
one, according to Perez.
(con’t from page 1)

around they wanted to ensure
they’d have a monitor to avoid
repeating history.
“I can’t think of any other
choice the federal government
could take than file this lawsuit,” said Antonio Bustamente,
attorney and pro-immigrant
activist.
The lawsuit addresses allegations of racial profiling
against the Latino community.
According to Perez, Arpaio
wasn’t only responsible for
these abuses; he was also responsible for a culture that “promotes and is indifferent to the
discriminatory conduct of its
law enforcement officers” and
has “virtually non-existent accountability measures.”
The lawsuit describes employees of the Maricopa
County Sheriff’s Office as frequently using derogatory comments to refer to Mexicans
like: “wetbacks” and “Mexican

Rights Act of 1964, explained
Mary Rose Wilcox, a Maricopa County supervisor.

meet in order to receive funding is to comply with the title

grounds of race, color or national origin.”
Joseph Popolizio, an attorney representing the Maricopa
County Sheriff’s Office, said
the Justice Department didn’t
simply want to have a monitor
supervise the agency but was
opening the door in many instances for the DOJ itself to
have veto power over the
sheriff’s decisions.
“I’m not going to surrender
my office to the federal government,” said Arpaio during
a press conference. “I will
fight this to the bitter end.”
The day before the lawsuit
was filed, Arpaio released a 17-
page document with new
guidelines to improve the relationship between his agency
and the Latino community.
But activists like Perez see
the document as “an admission
of the existence of a problem
… not a substitute for meaningful reform.”
During a press conference,
Sheriff Arpaio called the DOJ
lawsuit politically motivated,
saying it was simply an attempt
to attract the Latino vote in the
2012 presidential election.
It remains to be seen
whether the new lawsuit will
have an impact on voters in
Maricopa County when they go
to the polls in November to
choose a sheriff.

LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO
Prop. B, Pension Reform???
P
rop. B is extensive in its wording but in reality it boils down
to a couple of simple points:
the initiative would give most
new employees 401(k)s instead of guaranteed pensions and 2) it attempts to
impose a five-year freeze on employees’
pensionable pay. Pretty simple right? And
with the city of San Diego in deep, deep
financial problems and as most people
are themselves having to face harsh economic times, the initiative resonates
with a lot of folks.
Like Prop. B we could be wordy and
editorialize in length about this measure,
but we will keep it simple: this pension
reform plan will not work and it will not
save the city the millions as promised.
The pension reform will not work because you cannot freeze public employee
pay by vote and the 401(k) plan will only
affect new hires. It does nothing to
change the pensions or the payouts. And
more than likely, if this proposition does
pass, it will end up in court for a long
time before it can be implemented.
This pension reform is not really about
pension reform. It is not the employees
or their pensions that drove the city to
become the “Enron by the Sea.” At the
root of the pension debacle is that
elected officials and private sector corporations started the practice of diverting money from the pension fund to increase the city budget to pay for popular
city initiatives, such as the ballpark, the
convention center expansion, and for the
cost of hosting the 1996 Republican
National Convention.
During good times, when the stock market is booming, those expenses can be
covered. But when stocks crash… well
we all now know the results. The pen-
sion scandal itself arose when the pension board and then the city council voted
to lessen funding requirements and increased benefits (including to several
members of the pension board) and sold
municipal bonds without disclosing the
underfunding.
Nowhere in this $2 billion debacle was
it reported that it was the employees who
created this mess. Yet Prop B backers
want to try and fix this mess on the backs
of the employees by freezing employee
pay, after years of pay cuts, layoffs, and
furloughs???
We are not so naïve to say that there
are no problems with pension payouts
such as the DROP program, again another problem created by politicians.
There needs to be reform. But let us not
fool ourselves and blame the problem
solely on city employees. If there is to
be real interest in fixing the pension
problem the politicians should start by
reforming the pension board.
This pension reform is not about reform but is more of a political philosophical tug-of-war over who will control the city, corporate America or the
workers and their Unions. DeMaio wants
to continue feeding corporate America
and minimize the impact of the Unions
at city hall.
At La Prensa San Diego, we are going
to side with the workers. After decades
of work in the city, they deserve and
earned a guaranteed pension. The work
they do is not glamoures, nor is it high
paying. The rank and file worker are not
the ones abusing the pension system so
let’s not make them scapegoats on this
issue.
We recommend a No Vote on Prop. B.
Saving Paul
By Humberto Caspa
“I want to quit smoking,” pleaded Paul Wells
of 23 years of age. He was five when he, his
brother and sister arrived in the United States
from Poland after a long adoption process.
He had it all, a wonderful adoptive mother,
the nation safest city to live in, an excellent high
school in Irvine, new friend and relatives. However, his life took a bad shift when he lit his first
cigarette. It never crossed in his mind that as
teenager he would be so hooked on cigarettes.
Paul began smoking as early as 15 years of
age. Since he put a cigarette in his mouth, his
fingers have not stopped reaching for those
tiny rolled up papers containing harmful substances. He knows cigarettes are bad, but
wishes he had a real choice back then when
he was a teenager.
Without prevention programs against tobacco smoking at schools, teenagers like Paul
are easy prays to Big Tobacco. According to
government sources, each day over 3,800
minors under 18 years of age, smoke for the
first time, and over 1,000 become addicted
for life. “I never saw a prevention class in my
school,” pointed out Paul with disappointment.
In 1998, the tobacco industry agreed on a
monetary settlement with the states after prosecutors successfully proved this industry’s disingenuous portrayal of their product in the market. At the height of the trial, Dr. Victor De
Noble, former researcher at Philip Morris, became a key witness to unveil his former
employer’s unlawful activities. In the end, the
big three, Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds and
Lorillard, agreed to repay the states $246 billion over 25 years because states had absorbed massive bills from cancer patients and
other people affected with other illnesses related to tobacco smoking.
This year, states are expected to collect 25.6
billion in revenue from tobacco taxes and the
tobacco settlement. Nonetheless, only $456.7
millions (1.8 %) will be allocated in youth prevention and cessation programs. That figure
is about half of what states spent during the
first decade of the agreement. To make things
worse, states cut down another $61.2 millions
from prevention programs last year.
While states are doing less, tobacco moguls have multiplied their resources to lure
teenagers into smoking. According to the Federal Trade Commission, in 2008 they spent
around $10.5 billion in marketing. For every
dollar states spent on prevention, Big Tobacco
used up $27.00 to market its products.
Our youth is Big Tobacco’s primary target.
An addicted teenager insures solid profits for
at least 20 years or more. Adults, on the other
hand, are no longer reliable “markets,” as their
health are beginning to erode, and it is just a
matter of time before some of them seek remedies in public hospitals.
Our state might be in fiscal insolvency, but
our willingness to stop a tobacco onslaught
against our kids is not. Proposition 29 has all
the ingredients to change the dynamics of
smoking. In June 5, voters in California have
an opportunity to add $1.00 to a pack of
cigarette. It would be a major setback to the
tobacco industry. If passed, the state will collect about $835 million per year, which will
be used for cancer research, prevention programs and law enforcement.
High prices on cigarettes have been enemy
number one to Big Tobacco. The more expensive the pack, the less like teenagers will
get one. Even tobacco moguls recognize it.
“When the tax goes up, industry loses volume
and profits as many smokers cut back,”
stressed Ellen Merlo, senior Vice President
of Corporate Affairs at Philip Morris. No
wonder why they have raised nearly $40 million to stop Proposition 29.
For Paul Wells quitting smoking isn’t a personal decision anymore. He understands the
need of a special rehabilitation program to get
through his vice. Proposition 29 will give him
precisely that.

My Vote for Mayor: Nathan Fletcher
By Raoul Lowery Contreras
The U.S. Marines carefully worked their way
through the Iraqi village on foot towards their
vehicles outside the village. On both sides of
the road shops with metal corrugated roll-up
doors faced the road. Iraqis stood outside their
shops sullenly watching the Marines walk by;
obviously disliking these invaders of their homeland. One of the Iraqi men started loudly cursing the Marines in Arabic. The squad’s interpreter, a United States Marine born in Morocco,
verbally re-acted and their Arabic exchange
grew more intense every second. The Marine
was livid over the insults hurled at the Marines
by the Iraqi.
There is an old Marine maxim: You can insult a Marine but not the Marines. Sergeant
Nathan Fletcher approached the translator and
calmed him down. Once calmed down, Fletcher
started talking – through the interpreter – with
the excited Iraqi man. After some minutes
Fletcher got down on one knee talking to the
man while the translator changed his English
into Arabic. When done, Fletcher stood and the
Iraqi man shook Fletcher’s hand. So says Tom
Montero, the Miami-born Hispanic who was
mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher’s Commanding Officer in Iraq in 2004. Montero
(CWO 5, USMCR ret.) says he never saw
anything like what Fletcher did that day. Nor
did Fletcher flinch during any of the many actions or firefights Montero said in which
Fletcher was involved.
Montero says Fletcher worked well with him
and the other San Diego Hispanic, Lou Orozco,
in the unit as well as a Filipino American Marine Master Sergeant. In fact when Fletcher
was elected to the State Assembly, Montero
and Orozco flew to Sacramento to observe
Fletcher being sworn into office as the
Assemblyman’s guests.
Montero, a Rancho Bernardo resident is supporting Nathan Fletcher for Mayor.
La Prensa San Diego once asked why
Fletcher waited till now to create a Latino coalition to work with. Interestingly, he has significant Latino/Hispanic support of 25% in a survey released May 14th. His Coalition consists
mostly of young educated Mexican American
business and professional men and women and
it looks to this veteran political observer that
they really like him.
He didn’t need such a coalition to help him in
the old 75th Assembly district that he won twice
because there weren’t that many Latinos in
the district and he won the seat with percentages approaching 60%. Running in the City of
San Diego, however, is a different story.
Unlike his three opponents, Fletcher is acutely
aware that 51.4% of the city’s population is
Hispanic (28.8%), 15.9% Asian and Black
(6.7%).
This is proven by his widespread Hispanic sup-
port unlike his opponents; Carl DeMaio whose
television advertising shows but one minority
person out of dozens of supporters talking about
his being “courageous.” Bonnie Dumanis has
little if any “minority” support. Bob Filner has a
cadre of hard-core Hispanic support and some
Filipino support but that is not based on his 20
years in Congress, it is based on his labor union
and Democrat Party support.
Most importantly, “Councilman Carl DeMaio
voted against the (City Council censure on
Arizona’s infamous anti-Mexican SB 1070)…
because ‘We need to speak from a position of
principle and a position of fact as well as a
position of balance,’” DeMaio told the Union/
Tribune, May 3, 2010.
Comparing Bob Filner’s 20 years in Congress
to Nathan Fletcher’s four years in the State
Assembly in Sacramento draws a good belly
laugh. Fletcher has passed more bills into law
in four years than Filner has in 20 years in
Washington D.C. Fletcher has “Chelsea’s Law”
as his shining moment. Bob Filner has what?
What should be clear to San Diego’s 376,532
Hispanics is that Fletcher is the only mayoral
candidate who has worked in stressful situations with Hispanics, life or death situations.
He really knows Hispanics, having put his life
on the line for them and depended on them to
protect his.
He is clear on Hispanics and their place in
San Diego that no other candidate can possibly
have. Fletcher works well with Hispanics as
manifested by Tom Montero. But Montero is
not alone.
“He is well respected in the Legislature for
his willingness to work across party lines to
find thoughtful solutions for California,” Democrat Speaker of the Assembly John Perez told
the Associated Press.
Is there a Democrat alive that can say that
about Carl DeMaio, or Bonnie Dumanis, or is
there a Republican alive that can say that about
Democrat Bob Filner after 20 years in Congress?
The four candidates for mayor each bring
something to the race, yes. But three of them
fall short in knowing Hispanics, in serving Hispanics and in having worked under the most
stressful of circumstances with Hispanics.
The Marine Corps reports that in the Iraq/
Afghanistan wars one in five, 20%, of all Combat Marines were Mexicans and Mexican
Americans. Nathan Fletcher served with them
in Iraq, at the Battle of Fallujah and many other
engagements. He knows Hispanics.
Nathan Fletcher lives today because his back,
literally, was covered by Hispanics and they
live today for the same reason in that they trusted
Fletcher, to cover their backs.
San Diego Hispanics can count on Nathan
Fletcher when he is mayor of San Diego because he knows Hispanics better than most,
maybe even better than me.

Commentary/Opinion Page
An Illusion Becomes a Delusion: Maybe I am Missing Something
By Rodolfo F. Acuña
I recently relented to pressure of a former
student to go on Facebook. He persuaded on
its usefulness as an organizing tool. Once I got
on FB I could see that I could not break my
classroom habits and I feared that I would come
across as too peachy.
The more I got into the postings the more I
realized that much of the content is based on
touch feely, a highly sociable environment, which
I am definitely not a part of. I am the kind of
person who cannot stay on the telephone for
more than three minutes or talk to someone without multitasking. I even feel uncomfortable with
birthdays and I have walked out of birthday parties given to me by students. I have never seen
any reason to indulge people as they sing “Happy
Birthday” and spit on my cake.
Furthermore, from my perspective there is
disconnect between the various posts, lacking
common themes. I thought about it and concluded that the disconnect was a product of
generational differences. This is a generation
raised with commercials and theme parks – they
live fairyland existences where illusions become
delusions.
A young girl is enraptured by the illusion of
being Snow White and the delusion is that she
will be a princess. Parents encourage this.
When I was a child my parents would delude
us into believing that I would become like
Popeye, the Sailorman, if I ate my spinach.
The delusion takes over in ordinary life to the
point that we develop a false consciousness.
During 911, for example, many Americans were
convinced that we never violated the sovereignty of another state, although history is replete with examples to the contrary.
Thus, our delusions obfuscate reality. We
don’t know that Donald Duck is not real.
I guess illusions are great if you want to control children by fixating them on the television
tube. But when the illusions become delusions
and create false consciousness we have a problem.
This is how I felt about my last article deal-
ing with the Arizona Democratic Party, criticizing its neglect by not building a core and its
failure to protect the rights and interests of
Latinos within that state. A small sector of readers reacted as if I were criticizing Holy Mother
the Church.
Their defense of the Democratic Party was
delusional. I am accustomed to the excuse,
“Well I vote Democrat because it is better of
two evils.” I can buy that, but to say that the
Party is looking out for the interests of Mexicans in Arizona is a bit much.
The email that bothered me most was from
Luis Heredia, a longtime Democratic Party
operative. Heredia worked for Raul Grijalava
more than a dozen years ago. Since then he
has tied his kite to the official Party bureaucracy. His brother is the head of the Arizona
Mi Familia Vota.
Luis Heredia was appointed Executive Director of the Arizona Democratic Party in 2009
by then Arizona Democratic Party Chair Don
Bivens, a Phoenix attorney, who is known as
Party kingmaker. Bivens is a partner in the firm
that represented ex-state Senator Russell
Pearce, hardly a friend of Mexican Americans.
Heredia has led a number campaigns most
revolving around door-to-door voter contact and
voter registration drives. He has served in several capacities as a State and County Democratic Party Officer. Heredia was named the
Arizona Democratic Party’s Young Democrat
of the Year in 2005.
“Luis is deeply committed to the future of
Arizona, and we look forward to his leadership
and vision as Executive Director, “ beamed
Biven, an endorsement that was like a kiss of
death among many Latino activists.
A Party loyalist, Heredia has written columns
for the Huffington Post that give the illusion
that the Democratic Party is the champion of
progressive causes within the state.
Unfortunately, this is a delusion. The Democratic Party has been almost mute on immigration and has no policy toward SB 1070. Indeed, most candidates that criticize this ethnic
chauvinism don’t make it out of the primaries.
La evolución de Obama hacia el Sueño
Maribel Hastings
America’s Voice
La declaración del presidente Barack Obama
de que apoya los matrimonios entre personas
del mismo sexo se dio tras un proceso de
evolución, según afirmó, y de una cuestión de
principios, agregó.
Es un arriesgado paso político a meses de los
comicios generales que le ayudará con un
amplio e influyente sector de votantes y que
seguramente le afectará con otros. Esas
consideraciones se pesaron en la balanza
política antes de hacer pública su postura.
Pero lo interesante es cómo la presión de la
comunidad LGBT, sin prisa pero sin pausa, orilló
al presidente a cerrar el proceso de evolución
en favor de una postura políticamente arriesgada.
Si tan sólo Obama también evolucionara en
el tema de los Soñadores o DREAMers y ante
la falta de legislación federal les concediera un
amparo administrativo, como grupo, que les
permita estudiar y trabajar legalmente en
Estados Unidos sin miedo a la deportación.
La presión aumenta no sólo de parte de los
grupos pro inmigrantes y de los propios
Soñadores que vienen solicitando el amparo
luego de que la promesa de reforma migratoria
integral se hizo sal y agua. Pero ahora también
crece la presión por la posibilidad de que un
republicano, el senador de Florida, Marco Rubio,
potencial compañero de fórmula del virtual
aspirante presidencial republicano, Mitt Romney, se apreste a presentar su versión del
DREAM Act que el joven senador cataloga
como una “misión humanitaria”.
La medida no contiene una vía directa y especial a la ciudadanía, pero Rubio asegura que
los jóvenes podrán solicitar la residencia legal
por los mecanismos tradicionales.
Que la medida progrese en año electoral está
por verse. Rubio tiene que convencer a sus
colegas republicanos que le han dado la espalda
al DREAM Act, incluso quienes alguna vez
fueron autores o coauspiciaron la medida. Y el
presidente de la Cámara Baja, el republicano
John Boehner, ya advirtió que avanzar el
DREAM Act de Rubio será “difícil por demás”.
De todos modos, la idea de que sea un
republicano quien trate de buscar consenso en
un tema que goza de un abrumador apoyo entre los votantes latinos, debe enviar una señal a
los demócratas en el Congreso, a la Casa
Blanca y a la campaña de reelección de Obama.
Pero mientras el hacha va y viene, ICE no
descansa y la posibilidad de la deportación es
¡Anunciate en
La Prensa San Diego!
As mentioned in the last blog, I found
Heredia’s and the Democratic Party’s support
of Ann Kirkpatrick as the candidate for
Arizona’s First Congressional District very troubling. It is a Democratic-leaning district, which
the Democrats have a good chance of picking
up. It is 40 percent Democrat, 30 Republican,
and 30 percent Independent. Demographically,
it is 22 percent Native American, and 19 percent Latino. It has the highest percentage of
Native Americans in country.
Who is Ann Kirkpatrick? She is a former
Congresswoman who was beaten by a Tea
Party candidate. She has strong ties with
ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), the payday-loan industry, and Corrective
Corporation of America (CCA), none of whom
represent the interests of Latinos.
Ties and campaign contributions from ALEC
lobbyists to Kirkpatrick are well documented.
The most nefarious are her ties to former U.S.
Senator Dennis DeConcini who became a big
time lobbyist once he retired. As a member of
the Senate, DeConcini was part of the “Keating
Five”, the huge banking and political contribution scandal in eighties. DeConcini has donated
heavily to Kirkpatrick’s campaigns.
It is worth noting that DeConcini became a
lobbyist for the Corrective Corporation of
America (CCA) and sits on its Board of Directors. CCA and ALEC wrote SB1070 with
Russell Pearce. DeConcini endorsed and made
robocalls for Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
As a congresswoman Kirkpatrick voted to
keep tax cuts for the rich and supported SB1070,
referring to the U.S. Justice Department’s lawsuit as a “distracting sideshow.” She skipped
the vote on the DREAM Act.
In Tucson, the Democratic Party is controlled
by Blue Dogs, which ally with the Republican
Party. Both are in bed with the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, ALEC’s mini-me.
As Richard Martinez, the attorney in the suit
challenging HB 2281 and the counsel defending the Mexican American Studies program has
said “the Arizona Democratic Party should be
ashamed of their complete lack of any role,
support or action in combating HB 2281.”
Indeed, the Democratic Party has supported
Mark Stegeman, the head of the Board of Trustees of the Tucson Unified School District who
along with Superintendent John Pedicone have
viciously attacked the Mexican American community and students and dismantled the MAS
program, firing almost all of the teachers.
Where does Heredia stand in this?
At one time, I was a member of the Democratic Party. I worked through the Mexican
American Political Association in 1964 registering voters in conjunction with the California
Democratic Council. I tried to change the Party
and was a delegate for Eugene McCarthy during the 1968 California Democratic Party Presidential Primary. However, something called
principles and desire to give back and represent unrepresented Mexican Americans led to
a break. In other words, I grew up.
My delusions became a nightmare in August
of 1983 when the darling of liberals Arizona
Democratic Governor Bruce Babbitt sent the
state National Guard to Morenci-Clifton to
break a strike against Phelps-Dodge. The invasion included tanks and helicopters.
The consequence was that the union was
busted. The Miners that had been a majority
Mexican were now a majority white. Greenlee
County that had been historically Democrat
became Republican.
In ignoring the candidacy of Wenona
Baldenegro, Heredia and other Latino loyalists
are ignoring history. Without the Latino and
Native American vote there is no way that a
Democrat can get elected to the First Congressional District. Heredia is delusional in thinking
that he can sell his delusions to Latinos, Native
Americans and progressive whites.
My criticism of the Democratic Party is
based on principles, not on ambition. Unless, it
recognizes its chauvinism toward Latinos it
won’t be able to correct itself. The truth be
told, there is little difference between the Blue
Dogs and the Republicans.

San Diego will move to Mexican dance
By Pablo Jaime Sáinz
Mexican dance is one of the
most precious treasures in the
Aztec country. That is due to
the fact that each state has its
own musical and dance expressions.
That is why on May 19, starting at 3 p.m., the first festival
of Mexican dance, “México a
través de sus danzas,” will take
place at the Organ Pavilion in
Balboa Park.
The event is organized by the
Mexican General Consulate in
San Diego to celebrate the 150
anniversary of Cinco de Mayo.
It also celebrates the 100 year
history of the Mexican Consulate in San Diego.
The free festival is open to the
public and participating dance
troupes include Ballet Tierra
Caliente; Wa-kushma (Wa:
family y Kushma: dancer);
Grupo Folklórico Yoneme de la
Preparatoria Federal Lázaro
Cárdenas and Danzarts, Sabor
México, which will offer a
showcase of representative
dances from eight Mexican
states, including Sinaloa, Baja
California, Jalisco, Oaxaca, and
Veracruz.

Aunque de Segunda…
De hecho, en los dos países
seguimos fregados. De este
lado no nos dan más que el
camino pa’ nuestra casa, y
mientras no regresemos, de
allá no recibimos mucho más.
En el 2006, además de la
marchas, ya no hicimos
nuestro famoso “ejercicio
ciudadano” porque ya había
voto desde el exterior para los
mexicas. Cortesía del PRI y el
PAN, México recuperó
algunos ciudadanos.
Apenas 54 mil mexicanos
en el exterior mandaron ese
año su solicitud de registro en
el Padrón Electoral del IFE,
para votar por presidente
desde el extranjero. El IFE
tuvo a bien rechazar a 14 mil
de ellos, yo entre ellos, por
quien-sabe-qué problema con
la papelería.
De los aceptados, unos 40
mil, solamente 30 mil votaron,
de los cuales 28 mil lo hicieron
desde Estados Unidos.
Este año el IFE recibió un
total de 61 mil 687 solicitudes
de registro desde más de 100
países, un mísero aumento de
5 mil comparados con el 2006.
Aún no se sabe a cuántos
hayan rechazado, aunque un
sistema de corrección de
errores debe reducir el
porcentaje de casi 20 por
ciento en el 2006.
En aquél año, entre Felipe
Calderón y Andrés Manuel
López Obrador se llevaron el
91 por ciento de los votos
desde el exterior. Dicen que
por el Peje votaron 11 mil y
por Calderón 19 mil, aunque
dado el fraude de esas
elecciones nunca se sabrá en
realidad. Supuestamente mil
360 votaron por el PRI.
Esta semana llegaron los
paquetes electorales para los
afortunados que el IFE aceptó
para registrarlos en el Padrón
Electoral. Y ya comenzaron
las denuncias de que faltan
muchos, de que el correo no
ha dejado los avisos para irlos
a recoger a la oficina cuando
el destinatario no está en casa
y demás.
Por supuesto, sigue siendo
un voto mocho y ciego. Es
mocho porque solamente
permite votar y no ser votado,
solamente por presidente y no
por otras autoridades. Es
mocho porque aún no se
puede sacar una credencial
del IFE en el exterior. De
hecho, negarnos la credencial
es una forma de negarnos la
ciudadanía, porque solamente
el ejercicio del voto nos hace
ser ciudadanos. De otra forma
Mexican Consul Remedios
Gomez Arnau said that Mexico
is a diverse country, as reflected in its traditional dances.
“Regional dances are the
center from which several elements circulate, including
popular culture,” she said. “It
is very important to point out
that Mexico is a pluralistic
country with deep popular, indigenous, mestizo roots, and
that cultural expressions vary
from one region to another.”
Jose Jaimes, director of Ballet Folklórico Tierra Caliente,
which works with youth in
Vista, in North County, said that
dance is a perfect way to celebrate Mexico.
“Since the Mexican community in San Diego is huge, it is
very important to promote our
roots through dance, to identify
ourselves and present us as we
truly are: A strong, united,
multicultural community,” Jaimes said. “This event not only
celebrates our roots, but it
opens many artistic and cultural
doors in our community.”

de un país, pero no
ciudadanos. Y es voto ciego
porque el paquete trae las
plataformas de los partidos,
pero absolutamente
insuficientes, y sigue estando
prohibido hacer campaña en el

Aunque de Segunda…
De hecho, en los dos países
seguimos fregados. De este
lado no nos dan más que el
camino pa’ nuestra casa, y
mientras no regresemos, de
allá no recibimos mucho más.
En el 2006, además de la
marchas, ya no hicimos
nuestro famoso “ejercicio
ciudadano” porque ya había
voto desde el exterior para los
mexicas. Cortesía del PRI y el
PAN, México recuperó
algunos ciudadanos.
Apenas 54 mil mexicanos
en el exterior mandaron ese
año su solicitud de registro en
el Padrón Electoral del IFE,
para votar por presidente
desde el extranjero. El IFE
tuvo a bien rechazar a 14 mil
de ellos, yo entre ellos, por
quien-sabe-qué problema con
la papelería.
De los aceptados, unos 40
mil, solamente 30 mil votaron,
de los cuales 28 mil lo hicieron
desde Estados Unidos.
Este año el IFE recibió un
total de 61 mil 687 solicitudes
de registro desde más de 100
países, un mísero aumento de
5 mil comparados con el 2006.
Aún no se sabe a cuántos
hayan rechazado, aunque un
sistema de corrección de
errores debe reducir el
porcentaje de casi 20 por
ciento en el 2006.
En aquél año, entre Felipe
Calderón y Andrés Manuel
López Obrador se llevaron el
91 por ciento de los votos
desde el exterior. Dicen que
por el Peje votaron 11 mil y
por Calderón 19 mil, aunque
dado el fraude de esas
elecciones nunca se sabrá en
realidad. Supuestamente mil
360 votaron por el PRI.
Esta semana llegaron los
paquetes electorales para los
afortunados que el IFE aceptó
para registrarlos en el Padrón
Electoral. Y ya comenzaron
las denuncias de que faltan
muchos, de que el correo no
ha dejado los avisos para irlos
a recoger a la oficina cuando
el destinatario no está en casa
y demás.
Por supuesto, sigue siendo
un voto mocho y ciego. Es
mocho porque solamente

denas, in Tijuana, said that this
event will promote cultural exchanges between both sides of
the border.
“Most likely it will start a interchange relationship that’s
more constant, in addition to offering people a variety of folkloric dances from different regions from our country,” Lopez
Maldonado said.
Jaimes said that what makes
Mexican dance unique is its
diversity.
“Mexican folkloric dance
stands out because it is a collage of many countries, includ-
ing European and African,
which make it different and rich
in styles, musical sounds, and
dress,” he said.
More than anything, Jaimes
said, Mexican dance is a way
to teach people about Mexican
history through dance and music.
“Dance is a way of telling our
country’s history and of showing that we’re a very rich culture,” he said.

con jóvenes del área de Vista,
en el norte del condado, indicó
que la danza es una excelente
manera de celebrar a México.
“Ya que en San Diego la
comunidad mexicana es muy
grande, es muy importante el
dar a conocer nuestras raíces
por medio de la danza, el lograr
identificarnos entre nosotros y
presentarnos como lo que
somos: una comunidad fuerte,
unida y multicultural”, dijo
Jaimes. “Este evento sirve no
sólo para celebrar nuestras
raíces, sino pera abrir muchas
puertas artísticas y culturales
en nuestra comunidad”.
Fernando López Maldonado,
profesor y director del Grupo
de Danza Yoneme de la Preparatoria Federal Lázaro
Cárdenas, en Tijuana, recalcó
que este evento unirá aún más
el intercambio cultural entre
ambos lados de la frontera.
“Seguramente dará inicio a
una relación de intercambio
más sistemática, además de
que con la participación de los
cinco grupos (incluyendo el
nuestro) se ofrecerá al público
un variado mosaico de danzas
folclóricas de diferentes
regiones del país”, señaló
López Maldonado.
Jaimes resaltó que lo que
permite votar y no ser votado,
solamente por presidente y no
por otras autoridades. Es
mocho porque aún no se
puede sacar una credencial
del IFE en el exterior. De
hecho, negarnos la credencial
es una forma de negarnos la
ciudadanía, porque solamente
el ejercicio del voto nos hace
ser ciudadanos. De otra forma
solamente somos “nacionales”
de un país, pero no ciudadanos.
Y es voto ciego porque el
paquete trae las plataformas de
los partidos, pero absolutamente
insuficientes, y sigue estando
prohibido hacer campaña en el
exterior.

Sabor a Mexico.
hace única a la danza mexicana es su diversidad.
“La danza folklórica mexicana se caracteriza por ser
una amalgama de muchos
países entre ellos los de Europa
y Africa, que es lo que la hace
diferente y rica en estilos,
sonidos musicales y vestuarios”, indicó.
López Maldonado comparte
esa opinión.
Hay un reconocimiento internacional en el sentido de que
la nuestra es una de las danzas
más ricas y variadas del mundo
ya que la idiosincrasia, la forma
de ser del mexicano, se manifiesta de muy diversas
maneras en las diferentes
regiones del país; tenemos
poblaciones que viven en zonas tropicales, desérticas,
costas, valles, en grandes
ciudades o pequeñas ciudades,
donde el contexto histórico local y social son factores que
inciden en las expresiones
culturales que con su diversidad
enriquecen nuestro mosaico
cultural.
Más que nada, aseguró Jaimes, la danza mexicana es una
manera de instruir al público
acerca de la historia de México
a través del baile y la música.
“La danza es una forma de
contar la historia de nuestro
país y de demostrar que somos
una cultura muy rica en muchos
aspectos”, dijo. “Con la danza
uno puede instruir a la audiencia
los distintos eventos más impactantes de nuestra República
Mexicana, desde lo prehispánico, la conquista, la época
porfiriana, la Revolución
Mexicana, sólo por mencionar
algunos”.
