Immigration
Bill May Not Be
Everything You
Think It Is,
Activists Warn
By Valeria Fernández
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
PHOENIX -- Maricela De Jesus has
renewed hope that passage of an
immigration bill in the Senate will finally allow her and her husband to
step out of the shadows, after 13 years
of living in the United States without
legal documents.
“It would help me go back to
Mexico and see my family,” said De
Jesus. “My father died, and I couldn’t
go back to see him.”
Senate passage of the immigration
reform bill, S. 744, brought tears, joy
and hope to thousands of immigrant
families in Arizona and millions across
the nation. Yet, as it heads for a debate in the House of Representatives,
S. 744 may not be the saving grace
that many undocumented immigrants
like De Jesus believe it to be.
Despite the bill’s strong emphasis
on border security, a number of proimmigrant groups nationally have
been urging people to throw their support behind the bipartisan bill. For
some, the expansion of border enforcement activity is a bitter pill to
swallow, in exchange for a path to
citizenship for some of the 11 million
undocumented immigrants estimated
to be living in the United States.
But, a number of other pro-immigrant groups have come out strongly
against S. 744, citing a lack of analysis and honesty on the part of advocacy groups, politicians and the media, in the way the content of the bill
is being portrayed to the immigrant
community.
“Are people saying, ‘Sí, se puede’
to 700 miles of border fence, 20,000
more border troops, citizenship that
is going to be denied to millions? Yes,”
said Roberto Lovato, founding member of Presente.org, a pro-immigrant
group. “Do people know this? The
answer is no.”
A recent report by the Center for
Human Rights and Constitutional
Law estimates that between 4 to 5
million of the 11 million undocumented immigrants that live in the
country will not qualify for full legalization under the guidelines set forth
by S. 744.
The report, authored by immigration attorney Peter Schey, says immigrants will face a number of steep
obstacles in order to go beyond a provisional immigrant status, including
payment of back taxes, and showing
proof of continuous employment.
Many could be forced to the back of
the line on government waiting lists,
resulting in years of wait time.

La Jolla Playhouse Residency
by Michael Klam
La Jolla Playhouse (LJP) has
proudly announced Teatro Máscara
Mágica (TMM) as its 2013/2014 resident theater company.
TMM is now part of a growing
family of outstanding local theater
troupes in LJP’s annual residency.
Former appointees include Mo’olelo
Performing Arts Company, Moxie
Theatre, San Diego Asian American
Repertory Theatre and Eveoke
Dance Theatre.
Headed by founder and Artistic
Director William Virchis, TMM will
open in the Playhouse’s Theodore
and Adele Shank Theatre on Aug. 28
with a production of Josefina López’s
“Detained in the Desert.”
López’s play confronts Arizona’s
anti-immigration issues and the creation of violence against Latinos due,
in large part, to the inflammatory behavior of extremist media.
Lopez is a San Diego-bred, awardwinning playwright. Her best-known
works are “Simply Maria” and “Real
Women Have Curves.” The latter
became a film and earned the
Humanitas Prize and a slot at the
Sundance Film Festival. Virchis has
produced and directed several of
Lopez’s works.
“(TMM’s) mission is in concert
with the La Jolla Playhouse in that it
provides opportunities for creative, innovative, cutting-edge and thoughtprovoking theater,” Virchis said.
Playhouse Artistic Director Chris-
La Pastorela, Let the Eagle Fly, and I Am Celso, among others, are Teatro Máscara Mágica productions
that have garnered critical success and embedded their creative imprint on the cultural map of the city.
topher Ashley agreed. “(TMM’s) passion and dedication to shining a light
on diverse cultures and voices have
made them a fixture in San Diego’s
cultural community for 25 years, and
an ideal choice for our Resident The-
atre Program,” he said in a statement.
Virchis believes that both organizations consider theater as a place
where artists convey the truth of the
human condition. Performers com-
mit to telling stories that engage all
of us to think, laugh, cry and hopefully bring about change for the better, he said.

Filming freedom with a
Latino script
By Juan Miret
LATINALISTA
Founder and Artistic Director of Teatro Máscara Mágica,
William Virchis.
The typical image of an American
soldier is that of a strong, blond hair
and blue-eyed male.
That could be part of the script to
a predictable war movie. However,
the American armed forces are a microcosm of the real world, where ethnic diversity is not only inevitable, but
necessary. So, a better script would
be one showcasing precisely that.
Let’s say a Latino, who was born
on the 4th of July, in the cradle of
America – California. Add the twist
of being raised in Mexico, coming
back to the U.S. to attend high school,
joining the army, serving two tours in
Iraq and making a movie from a short
novel written by his wife. While such
a storyline has all the earmarks of an
Oscar award-winning script, it is real
life for Rogelio Almeida.
Californian Rogelio Almeida was
born 29 years ago on July 4th in the
city of Torrance, but raised in
Zacatecas, Mexico.
Almeida spent 12 years in a little
town called Encarnación, located in
the North Central part of Mexico. “It
is small and rural, but it is so colorful
and full of stories,” he said. “I knew
I had to leave Encarnación, then
come back to the United States and
study to pursue my dreams. All of my
dreams were connected to my dear
Mexico, but I needed a platform to
launch them.”
Mexico gave Almeida a unique
view: Diversity and multiculturalism.
“I quickly overcame cultural differences and different languages and
traditions,” he said with evident emotion in each word. “Being exposed to
my roots, to feel the warm breeze in
your face, to learn that life goes beyond Corporate America is a beautiful thing. Nothing can compare to
spending time with your family with

El Rastro

“Follow the Money” (sigue
el dinero), dicen los detectives
de los programas chafas de
televisión cada vez que no
tienen ninguna pista para
resolver un caso. Y por
chafas que sean, la receta no
falla. En la política gringa
esto no es la excepción sino
más bien la regla del juego. Y
en la atrocidad que nos
quieren vender como
“reforma migratoria”, es más
verdadero que nunca.
Empecemos a seguir el
dinero. En la última sesión del
Senado hubo varias
propuestas de cambio que no
se aprobaron porque “el arroz
ya estaba cocido” con el
acuerdo entre Demócratas y
Republicanos de “asegurar la
frontera” a base de meterle
millones de dólares, pero que
nos dejan ver como va a
venir la discusión en la Casa
de Representantes.
Entre otras cosas, se
propusieron: una multa para
las remesas si el que manda
lana no puede probar que
está aquí sin papeles;
extender la autorización de
un programa que dure hasta
el 2018 de “prevención del
crimen en la frontera” para
financiar gobiernos locales y
tribales; usar las multas que
paguen los indocumentados
para financiar la corte
migratoria, y una autorización
sin restricciones para que el
Departamento de Seguridad
Nacional compre “todo el
equipo que necesite” para
asegurar la frontera.
Para dar idea del “equipo
necesario”, nomás en el
Sector Yuma-Tucson de la
frontera se “requieren”: 50
torres de vigilancia; 73
cámaras fijas con sistemas
de vigilancia por video; 28
sistemas portátiles de
vigilancia con video; 685
sensores terrestres para
detección de temblores,
imágenes y con capacidad
infrarroja, y 22 equipos
manuales portátiles para
detección de imágenes
térmicas y lentes para visión
nocturna. Para toda la
frontera, se “necesitan” 86
torres de vigilancia, 286
cámaras fijas, 232 sistemas
de vigilancia móviles, 4,595
nuevos sensores, cuatro
aviones no tripulados
(drones), 27 nuevos
helicópteros, incluidos 10

Clowns, Cats and Corpses: Mexican Elections 2013
FRONTERA NORTESUR
Though downplayed by the
international press, strategic
state and local elections will be
held this summer in 14 Mexican states. The northern border states of Baja California,
Chihuahua, Coahuila and
Tamaulipas are among the entities where voters will go to
the polls in uncertain numbers.
As the July 7 election day
creeps closer, the political mood
is punctuated by accusations of
excessive campaign spending,
last-minute party switching,
charges of narco-infiltration,
church and state controversies,
popular revulsion, and renewed
predictions of widespread
voter abstention
Assessing this year’s competition as one that is not taken
seriously by the majority of the
electorate, Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez sociologist and columnist Carlos
Murillo Gonzalez writes that
electoral coalitions and alliances stripped of ideological
content, “cheap discourses,”
vote-buying, and “markedly
business candidacies” define
Decision 2013.
Scattered episodes of violence, especially in regions
dominated by organized crime,
have once again marred some
contests.
On June 27, the body of
Nicolas Estrada Merino was
recovered with signs of gunshot wounds. The president of
the Oaxaca state branch of the
PRD party, Estrada had been
missing since June 15 or 16.
On June 23, a hostile street
encounter between members
of two other rival political parties was blamed for the murders of two men in the Oaxaca
municipality of San Miguel
Soyaltepec.
Last week, violence also
flared in the northern state of
Sinaloa, where political leader
Eleazar Armenta Acuna was
found murdered on June 18.
Armenta was the coordinator
of a multi-party coalition consisting of the PAN, PRD and
PT parties, as well as an alternate candidate for the town
council of Sinaloa de Leyva.

Less than a week earlier, on
June 12, Jaime Orozco Madrigal, the PRI party candidate for
mayor of Guadalupe y Calvo,
Chihuahua, was discovered
murdered after being kidnapped.
Threats against other PRI
and PAN candidates have been
reported in the northern border state, prompting the PAN
to declare conditions did not
exist for it to run candidates in
the municipalities of Gomez
Farias and Maguarach; at least
six candidates are reportedly
receiving protection from the
Chihuahua State Electoral Institute.
Fears abound that continued outbreaks of violence in
the Chihuahua mountains could
result in not enough people
willing to staff the election on
July 7.
Additionally, the PAN reported that three of its campaign vehicles were firebombed in Tierra Blanca,
Veracruz, while the conservative party’s 2012 presidential
candidate, Josefina Vazquez
Mota, received a telephoned
threat not to visit Saltillo,
Coahuila, where the former
Calderdon administration official was headed to stump for a
candidate. Vazquez Mota was
undeterred, however.
An analysis by criminologist
Edgardo Buscalgia could be
useful in understanding the
mayhem behind some local
elections. According to the
transnational organized crime
expert, mafias typically seek to
control the municipal police
force, the mayor’s office and
the public works department
where inflated contracts can be
obtained for front companies
controlled by the underworld.
A noteworthy development
emerging from the 2013 elections is how widespread dissatisfaction with the political
system and the parties that
control it is encouraging innovative citizen initiatives
ranging from write-in protest
movements to unorthodox
candidacies.
Animal candidates are the
rage in 2013- Debora the
Snake of Cancun, Morris the
Cat, Tina the Chicken, and the
indomitable Burro Chon. In a
campaign laced with double
and triple entendres, “El Candigato” Morris has captured
the imagination of Veracruz and
much of Mexico. If elected,
the feline pledges to rid the city
of Jalapa of “ratas,” or rats,
which is standard Mexican
slang for thieves but increasingly synonymous with politicians. Morris even has a campaign jingle, written to the beat
of a cumbia
In the two-legged world, the
Citizen Movement party is running a pair of professional
clowns for two state legislative
posts in Sinaloa and Ciudad
Juarez, while the same political force is postulating a drag
queen for another Ciudad
Juarez legislative district.
Known for dressing up like
singer Paulina Rubio, Jose Luis
Delgado Pizano firmly backs
gay marriage and full equality.
“Society is ready to accept
us, and it’s only a question of
the rulers having more open
minds..,” Delgado proclaimed.
In Chihuahua City, meanwhile, rock singer Ivan
Chavero of the Seis Pistos
group is running for mayor as
a write-in with a far-less ambitious platform.
“Vote for me and I’ll tell you
right now that I will do nothing,” Chavero promises.
The long-shot admitted that
his principal objective in getting elected is to secure the legal immunity enjoyed by Mexican politicians so he can freely
skateboard down the street
without getting “hassled by the
police.” The bearded rocker
has a 39 second spot on You
Tube spiced with vulgar words.
Honesty is what distinguishes
his campaign from the others,
Chavero says.
In the border city of Ciudad
Juarez, the mayor’s race is
entering the final stretch with
a flurry of appearances by
frontrunners Enrique Serrano
of the PRI and Maria Antonieta Perez Reyes of the PAN.
Serrano, who is the predicted winner, has wielded a big
reach and a noticeable campaign war chest. Messages for
the seasoned politician are
flashed in movie theaters, displayed at the entrances to the
New Sinaloa and Chess nightclubs on Avenida Juarez and
beamed from the covers of
slick magazines. Participants in
a recent run for Serrano were
promised televisions, electronic
gadgets and clothing.
Serrano’s camp has made
inroads into the PAN’s base,
and courted evangelical
churches. “Nothing moves
without the will of God,” the
onetime personal secretary of
former Ciudad Juarez mayor
and maquiladora industry pioneer Jaime Bermudez was recently quoted. “It is (God) first
and our votes that will make
our triumph possible on July 7.”
In a bid to become Ciudad
Juarez’s first woman mayor,
the PAN’s Maria Antonieta
Perez is putting some distance
between the party and herself.
Running in a year when the
PAN is still licking its wounds
from recent major losses,
Perez stresses her independence and leadership in citizen
causes like the fight against the
pricing practices of Juarez
Natural Gas Company.
“I don’t have the support of
any powerful group, and I am
not protected by any politician,”
Perez said. “I am a woman
with her own political trajectory and an effort based on the
confidence shown by Juarez
residents when they elected
me as a federal legislator.”
In an unusual departure for
a member of the Mexican political class, Perez told an interviewer that tourism promotion would have to take second seat at the moment to
other, more pressing issues like
poverty and security.
“Of course, the tourist is an
important source of income,
but we have to worry about our
own people,” Perez said.
“When we manage to make the
city more dignified, the same
tourist will be inspired to come
to Juarez.”
Not to be outdone by either
Serrano or Perez, El Burro
Chon is making a late but concerted push to capture the border city’s highest office.
On Sunday, June 23, the
laid-back activist officially
launched his mayoral campaign
at the Benito Juarez Monument, the traditional gathering
place of the old braceros who
worked U.S. farms decades
ago but are now largely forgotten by governments in the
U.S. and Mexico.
The left-leaning contender
has released a quite detailed
political program that addresses economic development, environmental protection, human and labor rights,
femicides, public transportation, security, participatory budgeting and, not surprisingly,
animal rights.
The “dark donkey” candidate promises to open an animal shelter as well as prohibit
bull, cock and dog fights. El
Burro Chon is against the
privatization of water, and opposes the retention of it in New
Mexico’s Elephant Butte Reservoir upstream on the Rio
Grande.
The write-in candidate favors abortion rights, decriminalizing marijuana, prosecuting
current police Chief Julian
Leyzaola for alleged human
rights violations, demilitarizing
the drug war, and handing life
sentences to public officials
caught extorting the public.
Strongly backing a secular
state, El Burro Chon, pledges
to not deliver the “keys to the
city to any god,” out of respect
for minority religions and nonbelievers alike. “Besides, few
believe in the burro god,” he
says.
The four-legged, droopyeared darling of the borderland
concludes his program with a
revolutionary appeal: “Animals
of the World Unite!”
Under Mexican election
rules, write-in votes for El
Burro Chon will be dutifully
annulled and tossed out by officials, the candidate’s followers said.

Los casos de los abusos contra migrantes jornaleros agrícolas para el Gobierno prácticamente son inexistentes, los

mented. “I started using a digital camera during my second
tour in Iraq. I wanted to document it. It was part of the history. And that was my training, I would say a filming crashcourse,” said Almeida while
describing his service in the 3rd
Infantry Division of the Cobra
Battery in Operation Iraqi
Freedom, in 2003. “I learned
many things on the Internet and
I used my credit cards and savings to buy some equipment to
start filming.”
His wife, Nora ContrerasAlmeida, wrote a short novel
in high school: Yveete. So at
the end of his service, they
started dreaming something
big. “We want to make a
movie,” he almost shouted.
“We want to be filmmakers.”
So, like cooking a Mexican
menudo, they started gathering ingredients: No experience.
No professional actors. No
budget. Just talent and courage. Those were the flavorful
elements for the film. “And the
final dish was delicious,” he
said with a big smile on his
face. That was the first step
of his first film.
Almeida, who operates his
own filming business, described
how he taught himself to properly shoot a 35mm camera.
“The harder the goal, the better and tastier are the results.
It is like a good Mexican dish.
It takes forever to make it, but
it tastes so good at the end,”
he said while moving his hands
like he was holding his very first
digital camera. “It was a dream
come true, I mean, going back
to Mexico to turn my wife’s
short novel into a full length
movie”.
The 104-minute movie was
shot between Oklahoma and
Mexico. Since its premier in
2009, Yveete has been screened
in several film festivals such as
the Cine Film Festival in San
Antonio, Texas, the Latino Film
Festival in Chicago, Illinois and
the Barebones Film Festival in
Muskogee, among several others.
“It was a challenge,” explained Almeida. “My wife had
to play the leading role. We
needed a bilingual actress. I
think that was the secret of
moving that project forward.
We were deeply involved. A
dream in the making, we were
just using a film to make it
real.”
Some decisions are good.
Others are very good. And for
Almeida, joining the army was
an extraordinary decision.
“This country is amazing.
You are able to serve in a war
and at the same time explore
and find new dreams and
meanings in your life,” said
Almeida. “Even better, you are
able to showcase your roots,
your heritage, but not only to a
small group, but to everyone,
everywhere. That’s the magic
of filming. There are no borders, no languages, no barriers.
Just dreams.”

Johnny Depp, the ‘Indian’:
Is He or Isn’t He?
By Angela Aleiss
INDIAN COUNTRY TODAY
As The Lone Ranger heads
for the big screen this summer,
many Native Americans are
questioning Disney’s campaign
to court their approval. They
believe that the studio’s public
relations gestures mask the real
issues of the marketing and
identity of indigenous people.
The movie, which stars
Johnny Depp as Tonto and
Armie Hammer as the Lone
Ranger, will hit theaters July 3.
Depp has enjoyed a long relationship with the film’s director Gore Verbinski and its producer Jerry Bruckheimer
through Disney’s recordbreaking Pirates of the Caribbean series. The megastar is
also one of The Lone Ranger’s
executive producers, and his
production company Infinitum
Nihil (Latin for “Infinite Nothing”) was involved with the picture.
But Depp’s claims of Cherokee heritage (put forth in 2002
on Inside the Actors’ Studio, although in 2011 speaking to Entertainment Weekly he added
“or maybe Creek”) along with
his streaked black-and-white
painted face and a stuffed crow
perched atop his head have
caused many to cry foul. Still,
others say that Disney—which
has a long history of working
with Native Americans—is not
adequately addressing their issues.
For his part, Depp told
MTV.com that the film is “an
opportunity for me to salute
Native Americans.” The actor
has said he hopes to fix years
of Indian misrepresentations in
Hollywood and has repeatedly
stated that his great grandmother had mostly Cherokee
blood.
But Native American leaders and educators are not buying it. They question Depp’s
claims of Cherokee heritage,
particularly the studio’s attempt to keep it ambiguous.
“Disney relies upon the ignorance of the public to allow
that ambiguity to exist,” says
Hanay Geiogamah, Professor
of Theater at UCLA’s School
of Theater, Film and Television. Geiogamah (Kiowa/Delaware) was a consultant for
Disney’s Pocahontas and
served as producer and co-producer for TBS’ The Native
Americans: Behind the Legends, Beyond the Myths aired
in the 1990s.
“If Depp had any legitimate
blood of any tribe, Disney
would definitely have all the
substantial proof of that already. It’s not that hard to establish tribal connections,”
Geiogamah says.
Richard Allen, Policy Analyst for the Cherokee Nation in
Johnny Depp as Tonto
Tahlequah, Oklahoma, agrees.
He says that many celebrities
have claimed Cherokee heritage—often based upon family
stories they’ve heard—but like
Depp they never try to verify
it. “They all tell me they have
high cheekbones,” Allen says.
Geiogomah believes that because so few roles in Hollywood go to Native American
actors, Disney’s big-budget
movie is a “missed opportunity.” Depp could have played
the Lone Ranger and instead
promoted a younger Indian
actor to play Tonto, he points
out. After all, Canadian Mohawk actor Jay Silverheels
portrayed the character in the
1950s TV series.
“Now they re-introduce
Tonto with a non-Indian. So
can you call that progress?”
Geiogamah asks.
Instead, he worries that
Disney’s Tonto feeds into nonNative expectations of Indians
frozen in a historic time frame.
“That costume ends up making us look like a bunch of
oddballs with dead birds on our
heads,” Geiogamah says.
But William “Two Raven”
Voelker, the movie’s Comanche
consultant, says that the costume—including the Crow
headdress—is authentic to
Comanche culture. “Everyone’s
got an opinion who has no
knowledge of our culture,”
Voelker says. “That’s the part
that wears me down.”
Voelker is co-founder of the
tribe’s Sia Essential Species
Repository, an organization
devoted to the rehabilitation
and breeding of bald eagles.
Comanche activist LaDonna
Harris, who adopted Depp into
her family, is also a member of
Sia’s Board of Directors.
Voelker says that Disney has
agreed that The Lone Ranger
will bring “open-ended” contributions to Sia.
But Gary Brouse, Program
Director of Policy and Governance at the Interfaith Center
on Corporate Responsibility
(ICCR), questions claims of
cultural authenticity. He had
contacted Disney and met with
the company’s Corporate Citizenship and Global Publicity
divisions prior to The Lone
Ranger’s production.
“That’s one thing that con-
cerns us is a company’s lack
of cooperation with indigenous
leaders in this particular field,
leaders that we recognize as
leaders rather than someone
they hire as a consultant,” he
says.
The New York City-based
ICCR encourages member institutions to integrate social
values into investor actions and
has fought against offensive
portrayals of Native Americans
in corporate commercials and
sponsorships. The organization
has successfully campaigned
against Denny’s “Chief Wahoo” images on company uniforms and Liz Claiborne’s
“Crazy Horse” fashions.
Brouse says that there is no
indigenous person at Disney
responsible for the company’s
policy toward Native American
people.
Disney responded that Christine Cadena, Senior Vice President of Multicultural Initiatives,
instead played a key role in liaising with the Native American community for The Lone
Ranger.
“I think Disney should hire
more indigenous people in all
kinds of roles,” Brouse says,
adding that the company should
also have a publicly disclosed
statement on record of their
policy when dealing with indigenous issues.
But Disney points out that its
Human Rights Policy applies
across all populations and regions. “Our collaboration with
a broad range of interested constituencies, including indigenous
people, keeps us sensitive to the
potential impacts of our products and services and the interests of our employees, customers and communities around the
world,” a Disney representative
replied through email.
Still, Brouse explains that
part of the problem was that
Depp had “a lot of say so” in
the film yet did not fully grasp
the project’s impact on Native
American communities. When
Brouse tried to invite Depp to
conference calls with Indian
leaders, nothing ever happened. “Disney conveyed that
Depp was very concerned
about this and just passed the
message along. We never really knew the reason why he
didn’t do it,” Brouse says.
Deadline Approaches for Chula Vista Residents
to Make Cell Phone Tax Refund Claims
The $8 million settlement of
a class action lawsuit between
wireless phone users and the
City of Chula Vista means
thousands of local residents are
eligible for refunds — but valid
claims must be filed by July 31,
2013 for eligible residents to
receive their cash payments.
The three payment options are
$35, $50 per year of cell phone
service ($150 maximum), or an
estimated full refund.
A final public meeting will
be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m.,
Monday July 15, to aid eligible
taxpayers in completing their
claims for payments. To be
held at the Chula Vista Civic
Library, Civic Center Branch
Auditorium, 365 F Street in
Chula Vista, the meeting will
explain specifically how citizens can apply for and receive
the cash refunds. Counsel and
representatives – English and
Spanish speaking – will assist
in answering questions and filling out claim forms. The refunds are available to Chula
Vista wireless phone users
who paid the City’s Telephone/
Utility Users Taxes (TUT/
UUT) on their wireless phone
bills from April 2010 through
April 2013. A valid claim must
be filed by July 31 to get payment – to obtain a full refund,
residents must get certain telephone records from their wire-
less phone carriers, which may
take several days.
Under the direction of a San
Diego Superior Court, all Chula
Vista residents received Claim
Form and Notice of Settlement
packages via mail in early May.
To request this information, residents can call 1-888-270-0735
and it will be mailed again. All
residents will receive reminder
postcards with settlement information around July 8.

Tribute to Gracia Molina de Pick to Honor life-long Educator,
Feminist, Philanthropist and Community Activist
August 8th fundraiser supports naming of the Gracia Molina de Pick
Glass Gallery at San Diego Mesa College
The San Diego Mesa College Foundation will host a
tribute to renowned educator,
activist, philanthropist, and
feminist, Gracia Molina de
Pick, on Thursday, August 8,
at 5:30 p.m. at its Kearny
Mesa campus.
This special evening will be
filled friendship, the sounds of
mariachi, Mexican antojitos, a
silent auction, and brief comments from individuals whose
lives have been touched by the
passion, teachings, philanthropy
and activism of Gracia Molina
de Pick, who is expected to attend. For information on taxdeductible sponsorship opportunities, please call 619-388-2759.
Ticket purchases can be made
online at atributetogracia.
eventbrite.com
Proceeds from the event
will support the design, fabrication and installation of
gallery signage, a plaque,
and a biographic narrative
for the Gracia Molina de
Pick Glass Gallery at Mesa
College. The six-panel
glass gallery, located in the
outdoor rotunda of the Humanities, Languages and
Multicultural Studies Building, will feature a series of
displays.
The first rotating exhibit,
dedicated to Molina de Pick’s
legacy, will debut at the glass
gallery in spring 2014. It will
feature the history and contributions made to Mesa College
as a faculty member in the
1960s and ‘70s, and include historical civil rights events and
moments throughout San Diego history.
For more than 60 years,
Gracia Molina Enriquez de
Pick has been an educator,
feminist, mentor of students
and community activist for
women’s equality, indigenous
communities, labor and immigrants’ rights. As an early
champion for bi-lingual education, Molina de Pick helped to
develop an academic program
at Mesa College that gave
birth to one of the first Chicano
Studies Department in the nation.
In March, 2013, Mrs. de
Pick gifted $80,000 to Mesa
College for the creation of an
endowment supporting the
Mesa College Chicana/o
Studies Department — which
she helped to found in 1970.
It is believed to be the largest of its kind awarded to support a Chicana/o Studies program at a community college.
The Gracia Molina de Pick/
Chicana and Chicano Studies
Department Endowment
Fund also supports an annual
student scholarship and a lecture series that honors her
legacy.
“We welcome everyone —
and especially those whose
lives have been personally
touched by the passion and
teachings of Gracia Molina de
Pick — to join us,” said organizer, Chicano Studies Department Chair, Professor Cesar
Lopez.

Políticas que salvan vidas: Reduciendo el humo de
segunda mano en los centros de salud en San Diego
Hubo un tiempo cuando el
fumar era socialmente aceptable en todas partes. Fumar
ocurrió dentro de aviones,
hospitales, edificios gobernamentales y restaurantes. Lo
bueno es que esos dias ya
han pasado. Segun el American Cancer Society, el fumar
continúa matando más americanos que la suma de los
accidentes de automovilísticos, sida, homicidio, uso de
drogas ilegales y uso del alcohol. En el estado, millones
de californianos continúan
con la batalla con la adicción
de la nicotina, mientras que
otros sufren de las consecuencias de estar expuestos
a el humo de tabaco de
segunda mano.
Aunque hay una ley en California que prohíbe fumar en el
interior de muchos lugares de
trabajo, muchos empleados y
clientes están expuestos al
humo de segunda mano en el
interior y exterior, especialmente si hay lugares
designados de fumar cerca de
las entradas, ventanas y otros
lugares donde la gente está
susceptible a respirar el humo
de cigarro.
Desafortunadamente muchos establecimientos de la
salud no están inmune a este
tipo de contaminación. El
proyecto Smoke-Free For All
San Diegans en Caridades
Católicas, Diócesis de San
Diego está consciente de los
desafíos que muchos admi-
nistradores y dueños enfrentan
para reducir el humo de segunda mano en instalaciones
de salud, de atención residencial e instalaciones de vida
asistida. El humo de segunda
mano viaja en el interior por
paredes, tomas de corriente,
ventanas abiertas, puertas y por
sistemas de ventilación compartidos. Los no fumadores que
trabajan, viven o se recuperan
en un ambiente donde se fuma
tiene un riesgo elevado de
desarrollar cáncer de pulmón,
enfermedades del corazón y
problemas respiratorios so se
exponen durante periodos
prolongados de tiempo.
Reducir el humo de segunda
mano no es fácil bajo ciertas
circunstancias, especialmente
cuando una instalación tiene
un gran número de fumadores
o si hay una creencia entre el
personal que la adopción de
una política libre de humo será
una amenaza para su negocio
por alienar a clientes potenciales que son fumadores.
Aunque estas preocupaciones son comprensibles, es
importante que las instituciones
de la salud protejan el bienestar
de los clientes vulnerables y de
los seres queridos de visita. El
proyecto Smoke-Free For All
San Diegans ofrece servicios,
materiales y asistencia técnica
gratuita a instituciones de la
salud e instalaciones residenciales en un esfuerzo para
avanzar la implementación de
medidas voluntarias que van a
reducir el riesgo a los clientes
que estén expuestos al humo
de segunda mano. A través de
los últimos tres años, 31 instalaciones en el condado de San
Diego han implementado
medidas voluntarias que
prohiben el fumar.
Un mundo totalmente libre
de humo ofrece la mejor
protección posible contra el
tabaquismo, los avances en
relación con la reducción de
humo de tabaco en lugares
tales como centros de salud, es
un paso importante hacia la
creación de un entorno más
saludable para todos, especialmente aquellos que son más
susceptibles a problemas de
salud, tales como personas
mayores o personas con discapacidad mental. Se ha informado de los riegos asociados con el fumar, por
medio de la educación, o
eliminando todas las áreas
designadas para fumar para
clientes y empleados en una
ubicación.
Smoke-Free For All San
Diegans le da la bienvenida a
peticiones de asistencia para
crear ambientes libre de humo
en lugares de atención residencial e instalaciones de vida
asistida. Para más información

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
El Soporte Informativo Para Millones
de Hispanos
Por Luisa Fernanda Montero
Reforma, futuro y
realidad
Después de tantos años de
lucha, es gratificante saber que
hay esperanzas. Es posible que
los más de once millones de
inmigrantes que viven y
trabajan en este país, alcancen
el lugar que merecen en la
sociedad a la que aportan todos
los días. Si, es posible.
El hecho de que el senado
haya aprobado el proyecto de
ley de Reforma Migratoria
Comprehensiva – CIR – significa muchas cosas. Significa
que vamos avanzando en el
camino de la justicia, que el
trabajo que se ha venido
realizando desde distintas
organizaciones en todo el país
no ha sido vano, que la voz de
millones de hispanos e inmigrantes de otros continentes ha
sido escuchada.
Significa también que valió
la pena dejar claro en las urnas
que no pensamos seguir tolerando la intolerancia y la
discriminación de las que han
sido víctimas nuestras comunidades y que los que tenían
que escuchar, escucharon.
Todo ello, debe llenarnos de
fuerza y de optimismo para
seguir luchando; porque aún no
hemos alcanzado nuestra meta.
El futuro de la reforma está
ahora en manos de los representantes de la cámara baja.
Y allí son muchos los proyectos
que fracasan a pesar de haber
sido aprobados en el senado.
¿Qué significa esto? Significa que aun no estamos
hablando de una ley. La reforma migratoria aun no es una
realidad; debe recorrer aún un
largo camino para llegar a
serlo.
Eso no quiere decir que
seamos pesimistas y nos
demos por vencidos, quiere
decir que tenemos que seguir
insistiendo. Las posibilidades
de que el proyecto se convierta
en ley son muchas. No sólo
está en juego el futuro de
millones de inmigrantes, estamos hablando también de la
realidad política de los partidos,
que viven un momento crucial
en el que se están jugando su
futuro en las urnas. Recordemos, para no ir muy lejos,
que el voto hispano ha sido
determinante en las dos últimas
contiendas electorales por la
casa blanca.
Las proyecciones optimistas
hablan de la posibilidad de que
el proyecto se priorice en la
cámara y tengamos una ley
aprobada para finales del
verano. Las pesimistas sostienen que la batalla será dura
y que son muchos los tropiezos
que pueden dar al traste con la
reforma.

Author Junot Díaz talks about love and infidelity Immigration
Bill
By Juan Carlos Pérez-Duthie
Five years after winning a
Pulitzer Prize, Dominican
American author Junot Díaz
launches a collection of love
stories, Así Es Como La
Pierdes (This Is How You
Lose Her) published by Vintage Español.
Díaz is back in familiar territory, revisiting the lives of
characters that have become
staples of his writing, like the
philandering Yunior. From New
York City, where he lives, Díaz
discusses his latest book.
Was this bookgoing to be a
novel that you turned into short
stories?
I don’t get that lucky where
I discover, or I’m not that flexible, where halfway through I
can suddenly change. This
book began in the same way it
ended, as a collection of connected stories.
You are known to spend a
long time working on your writing. Was it any easier now with
this book?
Uff, I mean, this one was a
tough book. It took about 16
years to finish. Yeah, I’m very
slow. But even I outdid myself
in this one.
I was writing Oscar Wao at
the same time, but this book required a certain kind of honesty. Sometimes you gotta
grow up to write a book.
There’s a part of me, I can’t
describe it or give it a name,
but really a part of me needed
to grow up, and it took a long
while for that to happen.
Compared to when you
started, how are you different
now as a writer?
As a writer, I am just still so
slow. As a person, what little I
can tell complete strangers, I’m
not... I guess I have a lot more
doubt, about myself, about the
world in general.
More doubt?
I think I used to be more

La celebración de una fiesta
de Quince fabulosa lleva años
de sueños y mucha planificación. Para muchas familias
hispanas, la fiesta de Quinceaños es una tradición importante en la que se celebra el paso
de niña a mujer. Lo que comenzó como una celebración formal, que consistía en una misa
en la iglesia y una recepción
similar a la de una boda, se ha
transformado para muchos en
bailes coreográficos, cambio de
vestimenta y mucho más.
En la actualidad, la tradición
de celebrar los Quince se ha
convertido en una industria de
$680 billones de dólares.
Además de los más de 200

perfecta en una forma económica. El evento permite que
las jóvenes y sus familias
tengan acceso a expertos,
cambios de look y desfiles de
moda para encontrar el vestido
perfecto para la fiesta. En las
exposiciones de este año, las
jóvenes tienen la oportunidad
de conocer en persona a los
ganadores del Latin GRAMMY, 3BALL MTY, que
visitarán ocho ciudades de los
EE.UU. El grupo 3BALL
MTY no sólo actuará en las
exposiciones de Mis Fabulosos
Quince, sino también hará una
presentación especial en la
fiesta de Quince de una joven
afortunada. Durante los últimos
seis años, Verizon ha ayudado
a las jóvenes a que tengan la
fiesta de Quince que siempre
soñaron a través del concurso
de ensayos Mis Fabulosos
Quince de Verizon. La ganadora del premio mayor del concurso de este año recibirá una
fiesta de Quince con todos los
gastos pagados, en la cual

“About 4 to 5 million immigrants will most likely be left
facing an extremely harsh and
unforgiving set of laws almost
certain to eventually force their
detention and deportation (if
detected) or more likely leave
them in undocumented status
for the rest of their lives (if undetected),” reads the report.
Lovato, a pro-immigrant activist, political strategist and journalist, argued that pro-immigrant
groups are “not being completely
honest with the community about
how horrible these bills are,” out
of a concern that they would
lose support and momentum for
their cause.
The media, Lovato said, has
also done a poor job of informing the public, by framing the
entire debate as one where
immigrants are equated with
criminals.
“How does the fact that
most of the legislation is about
repression not [get] communicated?” he questioned.
A poll by Presente.org and
Latino Decisions conducted at
the end of May found that
more than 80 percent of Latino
voters said they follow the immigration debate.
About 54 percent reported
knowing little about specific provisions of S. 744 related to increased spending on border security, and 47 percent had heard
little or nothing about the increase of border patrol agents.
Dulce Matuz, director of the
Arizona Dream Act Coalition
(ADAC), had mixed emotions
when she watched the U.S.
Senate cast a 68-32 vote in
favor of S. 744.
“It was a moment of pause,
a reality check,” she said.
Matuz’s concerns center
around the border enforcement
component of the bill, as well
PAGE 5
as the number of people that
may be left out of the legalization equation. She added, however, that reaching some form
of legalization is better than
being left empty handed.
Promesa Arizona, a pro-immigrant group that has been
involved in Latino voter mobilization, celebrated the Senate
vote as a victory.
“I tell the community that
things may change in the
House. At this point, we have
to be hopeful and create the
power we need to change the
[frame of mind] of the House
of Representatives,” said Petra
Falcón, the group’s director.
In Arizona, strict state immigration laws like SB 1070,
which made it mandatory for
local police to report people
suspected of being undocumented to federal immigration
authorities, have taken a toll on
the local immigrant community.
“We have felt the worst impact in the country and we’ve
been fighting, and winning,” she
said. “This is a victory because
we’re still in the fight and it’s
moving forward.”
Where some see progress,
others see sacrificial lambs.
“In this instance, it is not a
matter of nobody gets what
they want. It’s a matter of one
set of people paying the entire
price for this (immigration
bill),” said Alfredo Gutiérrez, a
former Democratic Senator
and author of the book “To Sin
Against Hope,” a memoir that
is critical of the Obama administration’s record deportations.
Carlos Garcia, director of
PUENTE, a grassroots proimmigrant group in Arizona,
said the organization hasn’t yet
taken a stance on the bill, but
its members are concerned
about those that will be left out.
“People are thinking 11 million will benefit, when in reality it is only going to be about
half,” he said. “This is [being]
done on purpose. People are
being asked to call for reform
blindly, but there’s no conver-
sation of what we want.”
PUENTE works with immigrants who have been arrested
in raids orchestrated by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
and convicted of felonies, for
working with false documents.
“Most people we work with
know they won’t qualify if they
have this felony,” he said.
The Human Rights Coalition, Coalition to Defeat SB
1070, and No More Deaths are
among some of the groups that
are opposing S. 744 in Tucson.
“This is only going to get
worse in the House (of Representatives),” said Isabel
Garcia, an activist and director of the Human Rights Coalition in Tucson. “In the House,
they want to have the states
do something like SB 1070.”
Keenly aware of why so
many are eager for change –
any change -- in Arizona,
Garcia said she doesn’t want
to be critical of other groups
who are choosing to support
the bill.
“The immigrant community
is so desperate that they’re led
to believe that they’re going to
be one of the lucky ones, But
the Dreamers who are the
lucky ones are saying, ‘What
about our parents?’” said
Garcia.
Under the current bill,
Dreamers — youth who were
brought to the United States
before they were 16 and have
no criminal record — would
qualify for an expedited path to
citizenship.
Groups like the National Day
Laborers Network (ND-LON)
and Puente in Arizona are remaining neutral on the bill, but
calling for President Obama to
use his executive privilege to
expand deferred-action to protect not only Dreamers, but also
entire families from deportation.
Chris Newman, the legal programs director for NDLON,
added: “While the debate in
Congress is uncertain, there’s
a certainty that the president has
the power to stop deportations.”

Court ruled that the coverage formula in
Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional for purposes of identifying
the jurisdictions that must submit voting
changes for federal review (preclearance)
before they can be implemented. The Court
did not find the Section 5 preclearance requirement itself unconstitutional, but the ruling appears to bring federal review of voting changes
under Section 5 to a halt until Congress enacts
a new coverage formula.
Shelby County v. Holder involves the 2006
reauthorization of Sections 4 and 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). Section 5 of
the VRA requires certain states and sub-jurisdictions with a persistent history of racial voting discrimination to obtain preclearance by the
Department of Justice or a federal court before they may enforce any changes in voting
practices or procedures. Section 4 of the VRA
contains the formula that identifies those jurisdictions subject to the preclearance requirement
of Section 5. To obtain preclearance, a jurisdiction must demonstrate that a proposed voting change neither has a discriminatory purpose nor a discriminatory effect. In April 2010,
Shelby County, Alabama (a largely white suburb of Birmingham) filed suit in federal court in
Washington, D.C., asking that Section 5 be
declared unconstitutional. Both the federal district court and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Shelby County’s claims before
the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
“This decision disregards the documented history of ongoing voting discrimination in the covered states and paralyzes Section 5, which has
blocked thousands of racially discriminatory
voting practices and procedures before they
could ever take effect,” said Lawyers’ Committee President and Executive Director Barbara Arnwine. “Civil rights and civic organizations must now unite with the American people
– fighting new discriminatory voting laws lawsuit by lawsuit and state by state – until Congress acts decisively to repair what has been
one of the most effective civil rights laws ever
passed.”
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion for
the Court, joined by Justices Scalia, Kennedy,
Thomas and Alito. Justice Thomas filed a con-
curring opinion, and Justice Ginsberg filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Breyer,
Sotomayor, and Kagan.
The Lawyers’ Committee represents Bobby
Lee Harris, a Shelby County resident and
former member of the Alabaster, Alabama,
town council, who intervened in the case in
August 2010 to defend the constitutionality of
Section 5. In September 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia upheld
the constitutionality of Congress’ 2006 reauthorization of Section 5 and dismissed the case.
In May 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the
district court’s ruling, by a vote of two to one.
Both courts conducted detailed reviews of the
massive evidentiary record before Congress in
2006 and concluded that Section 5’s review
process remains necessary due to the record
of ongoing recent voting discrimination in the
covered jurisdictions.
“The Supreme Court has effectively gutted
one of the nation’s most important and effective civil rights laws,” said Lawyers’ Committee Chief Counsel Jon Greenbaum. “Minority
voters in places with a record of discrimination
are now at greater risk of being disenfranchised
than they have been in decades. Today’s decision is a blow to democracy. Jurisdictions will
be able to enact policies which prevent minorities from voting, and the only recourse these
citizens will have will be expensive and timeconsuming litigation.”
This ruling shifts the cost, delay and other
burdens involved in blocking discriminatory election practices onto minority citizens until Congress enacts a new coverage formula. Section 5 has been extraordinarily effective at
blocking discriminatory voting changes before
they could harm minority voters. Relying upon
traditional litigation in the future makes it far
more likely that discriminatory voting changes
will be put into effect, and the damage done to
those fundamental constitutional rights can
never fully be undone after the fact.
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
(Lawyers’Committee), submitted the commentary. The
Lawyers’ Committee is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that was formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy to involve the private bar in providing legal services to address racial discrimination.

The Crabs, A Never Ending Story
By Rodolfo F. Acuña
There are reoccurring themes in Chicana/o
history such as the Sleeping Giant that echo
the aspirations and frustrations of a community. This expression says that somehow we
are going to wake up as a people and become
a political force, and consequently get equal
opportunities.
The Sleeping Giant is a sort of modern day
version of the Rip Van Winkle tale. It was popularized in the 60s because for years Mexican
Americans were the nation’s second largest
minority group, but they were invisible to policy
makers who did not take them into account.
The origin is unknown, but I have heard some
say that it once referred to volcanoes that slept
until the day they suddenly erupted. I searched
the web for an answer; however, the results
were far from conclusive.
An interesting version is that it was first spoken by a Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. In a
1970 film “Tora! Tora! Tora!” the admiral says
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve,”
referring Americans reaction to the attack.
During the 1960s, the expression was popular among Mexican American leaders who took
ownership of the narrative. Although I cannot
pin down when and where I first heard it, the
best explanation is that Chicanas/os first used
it in Crystal City, Texas during a 1963 electoral
victory celebration.
Hundreds of Mexican Americans gathered
near a statue of Popeye the Sailor, and celebrated the takeover of the city council. Although Mexican Americans outnumbered
whites by two to one, the gringos had controlled
all five seats on the Crystal City Council.
As a consequence of a highly successful
voter registration drive Mexican Americans
won control of the council. Albert Fuentes, who
led the voter registration campaign, reportedly
declared, “We have done the impossible. If we
can do it in Crystal City, we can do it all over
Texas. We can awaken the sleeping giant.” The
victory raised hopes nationally that the system
would finally pay attention to Mexicans.
As chignon as the expression sounds, Mexican Americans were probably not the first to
use the Sleeping Giant metaphor. A better explanation is that it is the minority’s version of a
political epiphany. It leaves unanswered the
question of what we were going to do once we
awoke from the nightmare.
Another allegory that is frequently used by
Chicanas/os was the crab mentality, which referred to the problems Mexicans had in organizing a movement. Dr. Ernesto Galarza once
said, referring to the infighting amongst Chicana/
o leaders, “I don’t know why it is so hard to
organize Mexicans, there are plenty to go
around,” adding “you take 50 and someone else
takes on 50 and so on.”
Invariably the crab mentality is used as an
explanation for a lack of unity.
This stereotype is not exclusive to Mexicans.
It has been popular among most minorities for
some time. My cursory research says that the
phrase was first popular among Filipinos, who
attributed it to writer Ninotchka Rosca who
made reference to crabs in a bucket. Rosca
describes a way of thinking, which he summarizes as “if I can’t have it, neither can you,”
using the metaphor of crabs in a pot.
When I was a kid my father would use the
expression envidiosos (envious people)) or
celosos (jealous people). In conversations, the
elders would say “No tengo enemigos simplemente los envidiosos me odian por como
soy” (I do not have enemies only the jealous
people hate me for what I am).
The moral of the story is that individually the
crabs could easily escape from the pot and escape their collective misery, but instead, they
grabbed at each other and prevented anyone
from escaping ensuring that they remained in
the bucket. Likewise humans “pull down” or
minimize the importance of any member who
achieves success beyond the others.
It was a theme in Oscar Lewis’ The Chil(see A Never Ending, page 7)
Republicans have historic opportunity to
improve standing among Latinos – or else
By Matt Barreto
LATINO DECISIONS
On Thursday June 27, the U.S. Senate voted
68 - 32 to pass comprehensive immigration reform that included significant border security
components, as well as a path to legal status
and eventually citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Among
the 68 yes votes were 14 Republican Senators
voting yes in support of immigration reform,
most vocally Senators Lindsey Graham and
Marco Rubio who implored their party that they
must support a more pro-immigrant position to
improve their standing with Latino voters.
Graham and Rubio are absolutely correct. A
Latino Decisions poll released just a few weeks
ago noted that 45% of Latino voters would be
more likely to support a Republican candidate who took a leadership role in passing comprehensive immigration reform - including 44%
of Latinos who identify as Democrats. What’s
more, after hearing a pro-immigration reform
quote from Marco Rubio 69% of Latino voters said they had a more favorable impression
of Rubio.
At the same time, 32 Republican Senators
voted against the bill, some quite adamant in their
opposition such as Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn
and Chuck Grassley. In addition, while some
GOP Senators helped push the bill along to passage, the official National Republican Senatorial
Committee says they will run campaign ads attacking Democrats for supporting immigration
reform. NRSC spokesman Brad Dayspring told
The Hill that Republicans plan to use immigration as a wedge issue and pit support for immigration reform against “middle-class men and
women struggling in their home states.”
The Republican Party is at a crucial crossroads. If House Republicans stall or block immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants, it
will be almost impossible for the party to compete nationally for Latino votes. In our June 2013
survey we found the Republican Party had an
overall approval of 27% among Latinos. However when we informed half the sample that 3
Republicans had voted in favor of the immigration bill in Judiciary and helped move the bill forward Latino approval of the Republican party
rose to 54%. In contrast, when Latino voters
were told that 5 Republican Senators had voted
against the immigration bill in committee, only
8% said it made them more favorable to the
GOP, while 59% said that information made them
less favorable to the GOP.
Back in May 2013 just as the immigration
debates were heating up, we asked Latino voters how they would evaluate the Republican
Party in the case of a mixed outcome - where
some Republican support immigration reform,
but other Republicans work to defeat the bill.
As we noted in our May 3, 2013 post, Latinos
will view Republicans even more negatively
than they did in 2012 if the GOP now blocks
the immigration bill:
There is an important caveat though —
they must actually pass the bill in order to
open a door with the Latino electorate. The
Republican Party will not be rewarded simply for trying to pass a bill if their party also
blocks it. We find the GOP will further damage their dismal standing with Latino voters if they block or otherwise thwart the effort that has enjoyed significant bi-partisan
support among elected officials and the national electorate.
However, if more conservative voices in
the Republican Party work against the current bipartisan efforts, they run a significant
risk of further worsening their image among
Latinos – even below 2012 levels. In a new
impreMedia-Latino Decisions poll released
May 3, 2013, we asked Latino eligible voters how they would evaluate the Republican Party in light of both their outreach to
Latinos, but also the potential opposition to
the immigration bill.
Overall, we found 18% of Latino eligible
voters would have a more favorable view of
the Republican Party given their efforts to
work on the immigration bill, however 41%
would have a more negative view than the
Republican Party if some Republicans work
to defeat the immigration bill, and 39% say
their image of the Republican Party would
not change from the past year. Because Republicans like Marco Rubio and John McCain
have raised the immigration issue and said
their party is committed to working on this
issue, they have raised the stakes with Latino
voters. If conservative forces in their party
now work to defeat the bill, they will not only
get little credit, but their image could grow
even worse than in 2012.
It is no wonder that Republican strategist Karl
Rove has spoken out three times via Wall Street
Journal editorials to direct his party to pass comprehensive immigration reform and do more
outreach to Latino voters. Rove first spoke out
in November 2012, two weeks after the dust
had settled from Obama’s 75% margin among
Latinos. According to Karl Rove, all the talk
about self-deportation lost Romney the Latino
vote. Turns out Rove was right. When asked in
the impreMedia-Latino Decisions November
2012 poll of Latinos voters, 57% of 2012
Latino voters said Romney’s self-deportation
views and opposition to the DREAM Act made
them less favorable towards the Republican
candidate. Only 7% of Latinos liked what Romney had to say.
Next, Rove spoke to Republicans in a June
6, 2013 op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in
which he correctly noted, “Immigration reform
is now a gateway issue: Many Hispanics won’t
be open to Republicans until it is resolved.” On
Wednesday the 26th - the day before the Senate vote - Rove reminded Republicans, again
via his WSJ op-ed that “Immigration reform is
a top issue for Latinos as it is being debated in
Washington.” In case the GOP forgot, Rove
was the last to oversee a successful Republican White House run, and in 2004 helped W
win close to 40% of the Latino, and along with
it they won Florida, New Mexico, Colorado,
Nevada, and Virginia.
When we have asked Latino voters how they
would react to the Republican Party if they
blocked immigration reform one of the most
interesting findings of our March 2013 poll was
that 33% of Latino Republicans said they would
be less likely to consider voting Republican. The poor showing that Mitt Romney had
among Latinos in 2012 could actually get worse
if Republicans are now branded as the party
that brought down comprehensive immigration
reform with one-third of Latino Republicans
switching sides.
Now that comprehensive immigration reform
with a path to citizenship has passed the U.S.
Senate with bipartisan support, Republicans in
the House of Representatives face a crucial test
in the eyes of Latino voters. If Republicans
demonstrate leadership on immigration reform
behind the likes of Mario Diaz-Balart, Paul
Ryan, and even John Boehner they have a great
opportunity to improve their standing among
Latinos. However if they resort to anti-immigrant tactics like trying to repeal DACA or pass
the SAFE Act, they will lose all hope of repairing their image with Latino voters, and perhaps
with it, any hopes in 2016.

Reforma Migratoria: en la otra cancha ¡ASK A MEXICAN!
WASHINGTON, DC — El debate de la
reforma migratoria se traslada al pariente
incómodo del Senado, la Cámara de
Representantes, donde el próximo 10 de julio
el fracturado caucus republicano se reúne para
discutir sus diferencias con la esperanza de
eventualmente sortear una estrategia legislativa
viable.
Antes de plantear algunos escenarios,
pasemos revista por lo que se sabe hasta ahora.
Se sabe que el presidente de la Cámara Baja,
John Boehner, ha sido claro en dos cosas: que
la Cámara Baja producirá su propio proyecto y
no considerará el que aprobó el Senado; y que
(hasta ahora), para llegar al pleno, el plan
migratorio tiene que tener el apoyo de una
mayoría de la mayoría republicana. Es decir,
que no hay planes de romper la llamada Regla
Hastert (a nombre del ex presidente cameral
republicano, Dennis Hastert) de sólo llevar al
pleno medidas que cuenten con el apoyo de
una mayoría de los congresistas republicanos.
La oficina de Boehner incluso aclaró días atrás
que tampoco planifica romper la Regla Hastert
para llevar al pleno el proyecto conciliado que
resulte de una potencial negociación bicameral,
si la Cámara Baja aprobara un proyecto o
varios proyectos.
También se sabe que el caucus republicano
está dividido entre una mayoría negada a
considerar un plan de reforma que incluya, como
la versión aprobada por el Senado, una vía a la
ciudadanía para millones de indocumentados,
y una minoría republicana que, haciendo los
debidos cálculos políticos, entiende que para
dar la pelea electoral a los demócratas en
elecciones generales los republicanos tienen
que impulsar una solución migratoria bipartidista.
Se sabe que hay un grupo bipartidista de siete
congresistas, algunos con años negociando un
plan migratorio con una vía a la ciudadanía que
sea digerible para los republicanos de la Cámara
Baja. Pese a varios intentos, ese plan —al
momento en que escribo—, sigue sin presentarse.
Se sabe que lo único que ha avanzado en la
Cámara Baja son medidas migratorias punitivas.
El Comité Judicial, por ejemplo, aprobó el
proyecto SAFE Act que criminaliza a los
indocumentados. Y la Cámara Baja, con el
apoyo de 221 republicanos, votó a favor de
cancelar el financiamiento del programa de
Acción Diferida (DACA) que protege a los
DREAMers de la deportación y les concede
permisos de trabajo.
Lo que no se sabe es cuál será la estrategia
republicana.
Si, por ejemplo, se presenta un plan bipartidista
que incluya una vía a la ciudadanía aunque más
dificultosa que la del Senado y que contenga
severo lenguaje de seguridad fronteriza y al interior del país pese al duro lenguaje del Senado
en ese rubro. Luego se planchan las diferencias
en la negociación bicameral y bipartidista que
ocurriría si la Cámara Baja actúa. Esa
negociación bicameral para dirimir las
diferencias de sus respectivas versiones es la
que produce el proyecto final que luego debe
ser ratificado por ambas cámaras antes de llegar
a manos del presidente para convertirlo en ley
con su firma.
Otro escenario: sólo se aprueba uno o varios
proyectos de seguridad y medidas policiacas
en la frontera y al interior del país sin vía a la
ciudadanía y luego la medida o medidas se
concilian con el proyecto que aprobó el Senado
el 28 de junio que sí incluye esa vía a la
ciudadanía.
Tratar de negociar la vía a la ciudadanía en
la potencial negociación bicameral es una
posible avenida, según explicó a America’s
Voice la congresista republicana de Florida,
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
“Vamos a tener en la Cámara muchos
proyectos para tener más seguridad en la
frontera y ojalá que después en la conferencia
(bicameral) podamos pasar el proyecto para
legalizar el estatus de las personas y tener esa
vía a la ciudadanía”, afirmó Ros-Lehtinen.
“Yo voy a trabajar arduamente para que el
proyecto final tenga la legalización de los no
documentados y también un estatus para la
ciudadanía. Eso es lo que yo quiero y voy a
hacer todo lo posible para que ocurra”, agregó
Ros-Lehtinen.
Otra posibilidad es que la Cámara Baja no
actúe y la reforma muera; o que el proceso de
negociación bicameral fracase.
Ambos partidos tienen algo que perder si la
reforma no progresa, pero la mayor presión la
tienen los republicanos.
Un nuevo sondeo de Latino Decisions y
America’s Voice encontró que los potenciales
aspirantes republicanos a la nominación
presidencial tienen bastante trabajo por delante
para atraer a los votantes latinos y la reforma
migratoria parece ofrecerles esa vía de
rehabilitación.
El sondeo encontró, por ejemplo, que un
potencial aspirante, el senador republicano de
Florida, Marco Rubio, se beneficia de su apoyo
a la reforma con una vía a la ciudadanía. Al
apoyar el plan, un 21% de los votantes latinos
dicen que es “muy” probable que voten por
Rubio si fuera el candidato presidencial
republicano, y 33% dijo que sería “algo” probable. Al plantearles la alternativa de que Rubio
se opusiera a la reforma, 14% dijo que era
“muy” probable y 15% contestó que era “algo”
probable que votaran por Rubio.
El senador republicano de Arizona, John
McCain, dijo el domingo que no cree apropiado
decirle al presidente cameral Boehner cómo
proceder, pero agregó: “Me parece que los
republicanos se dan cuenta de las implicaciones
para el futuro del Partido Republicano en
Estados Unidos si no pasamos la página en este
asunto”.
En la otra cancha tienen que decidir su
jugada.

A Never Ending
Story
During my over 50 plus years of activism I
have found both of these expressions a bit irritating not so much because they lack some
validity, but because they always seem to be
betting on the come. The Sleeping Giant presumes that numbers and unity will solve all of
our problems without considering the growing
class gap in our community. It also assumes
that the right way is to work within the system.
The Sleeping Giant has problems. Recently
some of my colleagues on the left have resurrected the National Question assuming that
conditions are the same as they were in the
19th century. I consider this trying to fit a square
peg into a round hole. There are so many more
variables today such as the differences within
the disparate Latino groups, class and race to
name a few.
In any event the Sleeping Giant is anesthetizing. My feeling is that the only thing that has
anchored us is the Immigrant Question, and even
then we are divided on strategy with some of
us blindly cheerleading for President Barack
Obama. The issue of education seems to have
gotten away from us, and we fail to articulate
how the state has manipulated us into thinking
that we have won when we get a favorable
court ruling, forgetting that this can be erased
by the Supremes in white robes. In other words,
we are grateful for the crumbs.
The crab allegory is probably the one with
the longest life. The cellos and the pettiness
seem to have increased especially among small
inbreeding groups within academe. Within
Chicana/o academic circles some people are
jealous because someone else publishes a book.
It is all too common for those doing nothing to
take pot shots at those who are on top thinking
that in some way it will make them their equal
and give them a slice of fame.
This is not to say that we should not criticize
– criticism is the basis for correction. But the
criticism should be constructive offering alternatives and a path to a conversation. Too often
people sit around in academe labeling themselves progressives and doing nothing about
building a foundation so people can escape the
bucket.

Sánchez, living with his family in a Mexico City
ghetto, wins the lottery and prepares to move
out of it, his former neighbors and friends shun
the family.
The metaphor has been used frequently in
novels, describing workers or small towns. It
criticizes short-sighted and non-constructive
thinking versus unity. It generalizes that there
are individuals or communities attempting to improve themselves, but that neighbors and coworkers work against each other. This behavior also occurs between ethnic and racial groups
such as competition between Chicanas/o and
African-Americans who sometimes fight each
other over crumbs instead of fighting those in
power.
Dr. José Angel Gutiérrez used the crab metaphor in his book A Gringo Manual on How to
Handle Mexicans Americans (1975) where he
took a tongue and cheek swipe at those breeding internal dissention. Columnist Frank Del Olmo
in 1989 wrote in the Los Angeles Times “Latino
Power and the Last Cliche: Accomplishment
Overtakes the Crab-in-a-Bucket Fable.”
Del Olmo rebutted the stereotype and the
criticism of Latino efforts at unity because “It
presumes that Mexican-Americans can’t work
together (or Puerto Ricans and other Latinos),”
can’t work together.” He adds that “As far
back as the 1920s, Mexicans who sought refuge here during the Mexican Revolution organized themselves into self-help groups centered
on their community churches. Some even
formed labor unions to organize Mexican workers on the farms and in the mines of the Southwest. If those movements failed to achieve all
their potential, it was usually because employers, farmers and other powerful interests did
all they could to repress them.” Del Olmo called
the story of the Mexican crab simplistic.
Dear Readers: My columna a couple of
weeks ago about whether Aztec savagery
influences violence in Mexico today drew
muchos responses, both bueno and malo.
Here are two:
Dear Mexican: I enjoy reading all
your replies and was thinking about the
last reply you wrote about the violence/
Aztec blood question posed to you. I
grew up in Huntington Beach and am a
“brown’ man” (Iranian decent). I’m
currently in Shitzona finishing up pharmacy school and made an interesting
(to me) observation today at a gas station. The reason Mexicans are the way
they are “sketchy” or “violent” or
whatever the stereotype is due to the
level of treatment they receive from
their respective environment. I’ve
played lots o’ fútbol back home and
worked lots of jobs where I worked
side-by-side with Mexicans. What I
have found is that while back home, the
Mexicans still had some of
Napoleanesque machismo complex
complete with super pervy sexual
(toma, güey, etc.) behavior. Here in this
hellhole joke of a state, the Mexicans
are about double the classic stereotypes that I encountered back home.
It got me thinking, and what I’ve
found is that the pinche güeros here
are about seven to ten times more ignorant, and this naturally lends itself to
overt racism. While I grew up in bro-y,
stars-and-stripes, surf Nazi punk HB,
AZ seems to have beat conservative
Orange County over in terms of its discrimination (as everyone knows). This
donkey’s ass level of ignorance results
in a level of treatment from the white
ruling class that is extremely cold, condescending, rude, arrogant and downright oppressive to the minority class
which in this case is overwhelmingly
Mexican. This level of intolerance of la
raza I feel is what develops the combative nature of the Mexican. While
this is a very simple observation, I
wanted to get your thoughts on it, as I
have always been very bewildered by
some of the actions of the Mexicans I
have interacted with throughout life.
and acting out the
very stereotypes that
the dominant culture
imposes on them.
Such pathologies
usually manifest
themselves in longestablished minority
cultures, though; in
the case of recent Mexican immigrants,
blame any fulfilled stereotypes on the fact
that most foreign men overcompensate
their machismo to mask their pain of living among Know Nothings—and if you
don’t believe me, look at Marco Rubio.
You missed an opportunity to correct
a misunderstanding about the in your
reply to Puzzled by Narco Violence
when he describes the Aztec as “notorious butchers and cannibals.” Yes, human sacrifice was practiced by
Mesoamerican cultures like the
Mexica, but in the context of religious
ceremonies they believed to be necessary to appease their gods so that the
universe would not come to an end. It
was part of their belief system and was
performed by priests in a very strict
ritual and although is was done on a
vast public scale, the goal was to recall
the spiritual justification for the empire
by its subjects. In that respect, they
were not much different from their European counterparts, where public executions drew huge crowds and where
the goal was to reassert the
sovereign’s divine power after it had
been injured by a criminal act. The important thing is that neither society
should be judged by its brutality and
that in their appetite for death as spectacle they were not fundamentally different. (On the subject of cannibalism,
I would remind the writer that recent
evidence has proved that it was practiced in Jamestown, Virginia by the pilgrims).

Mexican-American Players Finally Starting to Be
Noticed by U.S. Soccer
By John Philip Wyllie
There was a time and it wasn’t long ago that
you would rarely find a Hispanic player, let alone
a Mexican-American player in uniform for the
U.S. National Soccer Team. In the 90s, a handful of players such as Marcelo Balboa,
Fernando Clavijo, Tab Ramos and Hugo Perez
were regular contributors, but there weren’t
many others that made much of an impact. That
is all changing under now that former German
superstar Jurgen Klinsmann is calling the shots
as the USMNT coach.
The U.S. team plays tonight at Qualcomm
Stadium in a Gold Cup tune-up match against
Guatemala (kick-off 8:00 p.m.) Among those
vying for playing time tonight will be a record
six players currently playing in Liga MX including three from Tijuana’s League Champion
Xolos (Herculez Gomez, Joe Corona and Edgar
Castillo). In addition, three others of Hispanic
origins will be suiting up for the U.S.A. The
broadened talent search under Klinsmann is already paying dividends and will likely continue
doing so as the U.S. prepares for next year’s
World Cup to be hosted by Brazil.
Former Sweetwater High School 2008
Player of the Year Joe Corona, who now stars
for Tijuana’s Xolos, is one of the rising Mexican-American stars. La Prensa San Diego
caught up with him Tuesday as he arrived in
the downtown San Diego team hotel. Naturally,
he is excited to play for the first time in his
hometown as a member of the U.S. National
Soccer Team.
“I haven’t touched bases with coach (on the
amount of playing time) but I want to be a big
part of the game whether or not I start,” Corona said. “They usually use me as an attacking midfielder, but sometimes I play out on the
wings, but I will play anywhere. It doesn’t really matter. The game is just a friendly, but I
am really looking forward to it. It’s a different
feeling playing here in San Diego where I grew
Sweetwater High school star, Joe Corona
up and knowing that I am going to have my
whole family behind me.”
Corona comes from an interesting family. His
father was born in Mexico. His mother was
born in El Salvador and he was born here in
the U.S. As a result, Corona was eligible for
three national teams.
“I grew up here and the United States team
was the first team to contact me. They built a
relationship with me and took the initiative. I
thought that was more important than anything
else. I have never had any regrets. I am very
happy here. I feel at home. My relationship
with our coach and the other players has been
very good. I want to keep it that way and become somebody important here like I was when
I played for Sweetwater High.”

Teatro Máscara Mágica Lands in La Jolla
(con’t from page 1)
TMM was the first “common ground” theater in San
Diego, founded in 1989, according to Virchis. Generations
of patrons have come to
TMM’s plays and have followed the troupe faithfully,
“from the Old Globe Theatre
where it all began, to the San
Diego Repertory Theatre, to
other local venues and now to
the jewel on the hill, the La
Jolla Playhouse,” Virchis said.
As a common ground theater, TMM’s culturally diverse
team of artists and supporters
believe that “all races, creeds
and cultures in the United
States should have opportunities for artistic expression,”
Virchis explained.
In December, TMM is planning the 25th Anniversary of
its holiday tradition “La Pastorela,” written by Max Branscomb at the San Diego Repertory Theatre Company. “La
Pastorela” is an award-winning, bilingual family tradition
heralded as one of the Southwest’s best holiday productions
by audiences and theater critics.
One of TMM’s objectives is
to make tickets affordable to a
broader theater-going public,
providing accessibility to underserved communities. Prices
for “Detained in the Desert”
are $25 general admission, $15
for students and military and
$10 for seniors and groups of
10 or more.
According to Ashley, all
ticket proceeds go to the company in residence to support
their programming and future
endeavors. The relationship
between TMM and LJP is a
win-win situation.
“It’s like moving into a mansion, and you are living and
working in one room for one
year,” Virchis said. “The impact of the residency can be
tremendous for both theater
companies. TMM needs to
drive people to the jewel. We
want them to come visit the
room and stay with us for the
residency and beyond,” he
said.
Ashley confirmed that the
Resident Theatre Program has
“deepened the Playhouse’s relationship with very exciting
San Diego artists, and deepened our roots in the community.”
“It has been very important
to us that we open the doors to
a broad and diverse audience,”
he said.
Choosing TMM also confirms, in part, the Playhouse’s
connection to higher education
in San Diego. The two founding fathers, Virchis and Jorge
Huerta, Ph.D., have both been

award-winning dramaturge/professors, Virchis at Southwestern
College and Huerta at UCSD.
TMM is also committed to
education, developing new talent and introducing multi-cultural theater to students from
kinder through university with
a focus on supporting disadvantaged youth.
Virchis plans to continue
TMM’s educational touring
company, an educational outreach program that enhances
the theatrical arts in local
schools, he said.
“Art in the education system
is an inherent part of what
TMM looks to offer to the
youth of our community,”
Virchis said.
TMM’s professional actors
donate their time to mentor students and act beside them in
their own renditions of culturally rich productions, he added.
The experience exposes students to the key players in theater: actors, playwrights, directors and stage technicians.
“Detained in the Desert” will
run from Aug. 28 through Sept.
15. TMM will present another
production in May-June.
“As a possibility, we are
working on an original musical
that is about the relationship of
Pancho Villa and Emilio Zapata
and the Mexican Revolution,”
Virchis said. TMM is also exploring a revival of “Selena
Forever,” the musical about the
famous singer-songwriter
Selena, Virchis said.
Another option is a Latino
version of the “Odd Couple,”
starring Paul Rodriguez.
“Whatever we produce will
be in concert with our mission
and the mission of the La Jolla
Playhouse Residency Program,” Virchis said.
