By Jennifer Chung Klam

In 2009, aboard the Space ShuttleDiscovery, José Hernández becamethe first astronaut to tweet from spacein Spanish.

“Espero la cosecha de mi sueñosirva como inspiracion a todos!” hewrote via Twitter. “I hope the har-vest of my dream serves as inspira-tion to all!”

His story was an inspiration to play-wright José Cruz González, whosenew play “Astronaut Farmworker” isloosely based on Hernández’s trajec-tory from agricultural fields to outerspace. The play will travel to elemen-tary schools throughout San DiegoCounty through April 3 as La JollaPlayhouse’s 2015 Performance Out-reach Program (POP) Tour produc-tion.

As a child, Hernández spent halfthe year in Mexico and half in theUnited States. He worked alongsidehis family in the fields of California,harvesting crops and moving wher-ever the work went. He didn’t learnEnglish until he was about 12 yearsold, when his family stopped movingback and forth between the UnitedStates and Mexico.

“His teacher was instrumental inconvincing his parents to stay,”González said.

González himself was born to mi-grant workers in Calexico, Calif., andspent afternoons, weekends and sum-mers working in the fields.

“I remember getting up really early

and getting in the car, being constantlyamazed by the stars,” González said.“José, who also saw the same stars,in his mind, he was asking questions.Where I didn’t become an astronaut,I became a playwright, I asked, ‘Whyare we here, what does it mean?’

“It’s about looking up at the im-possible and achieving it.”

“Astronaut Farmworker” tells thestory of a boy who dreams of reach-

ing the stars. He comes from a fam-ily of farmworkers from Mexico whotoil under the hot sun for long hoursand very little pay.

The play is told from the protag-onist’s point of view, so when he firstarrives in school, the other kids speakgibberish. Audience members will geta sense of what it’s like to be in astrange place and not understand thepeople around them.

“It’s overwhelming, but also com-pelling, moving and funny as well,”González said.

With a little determination and thesupport of his family and teacher, theboy finds success. The play is alsoabout the ability of teachers to posi-tively influence students, the play-wright added.

With the SerraCanonization:Franciscans need toapologize formistreating theMission Indians

Perspective

By Mark R. Day

If history is not just the past, butpart of the present, as WilliamFaulkner once wrote, then the storiesof the surviving families of NativeCalifornians have a lot to tell us aboutthe California mission period from1769 to 1833.

Memories of the suffering, abuse,deaths and destruction of their cul-tures are part of a legacy they livewith every day.

So they question the CatholicChurch’s plans to canonize FrayJunipero Serra, the founding father ofthe 21 California missions. To them,it is like pouring salt on wounds thatnever healed.

What should be the response, then,of the California Franciscans to thisevent? Will the Serra canonizationcreate an atmosphere of ecclesiasti-cal triumphalism, or will it provide anopportunity for long overdue apolo-gies and reconciliation?

Most recent commentaries on thissubject are written by white people,and not by natives who bore the bruntof the spiritual and political conquestof California.

That’s why the publication thismonth of “News From Native Cali-fornia” and its feature articles on“Surviving the Missions” is so timely.With art, essays and poetry, severalNative Californians tell their storiesof struggle and survival.

In one of the more moving essays,Deborah Miranda of Esselen /Chumash responds to a fourth gradernamed Sonora who wants to know ifthe Indians liked the missions and ifthe priests were good. Miranda writesthat although some Indians believe themissions brought them Catholicismand agriculture, others insist that any-thing that kills about 80 percent ofyour people can’t be all that good.

Miranda explains to Sonora thatonce the Franciscans baptized the In-dians, they refused to let them leavethe missions. Nor could their familymembers visit them unless they werebaptized. Girls under seven werelocked up in dirty rooms at the mis-sions (called monjerios) and got sickfrom the lack of sanitation. Meanwhiletheir parents were forced to work onthe mission’s farms.

It was during third grade that Ri-chard Huizar became aware he hada special talent for math.

“I have always been fascinated inmathematics since I was really little,”he said. “I learned that I had a talentin math when we had timed tests onmultiplication and divisions.”

Huizar is now developing that tal-ent even more as a student at Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology,where the north San Diego Countyresident is majoring in applied math-ematics, minoring in mechanical en-gineering, and is also completing aconcentration in economics.

Before transferring to MIT, Huizarattended MiraCosta College, inOceanside, after he had to cancel hisadmission to San Diego State Univer-sity due to financial reasons.

During his time at MiraCosta, hewas able to grow his love for mathand for anything that involved scienceand technology.

“MiraCosta picked me up andpushed me higher than I thought waspossible,” Huizar said. “MiraCostaCollege became my home, the placeI wanted to be as much as I could.The faculty cared about me specifi-cally and many went out of their wayto help me achieve my goals.”

Like Huizar, MiraCosta Collegewants to encourage more Latino boysand young men to pursue a career inscience, technology, engineering andmath (STEM), by holding theEncuentros Education & STEMCareer Exploration Conference, onSaturday, February 21, at the college’sOceanside Campus.

Daniel’s Story: A Mother’s Memories of an Ayotzinapa VictimBy Kent PatersonFRONTERA NORTESUR

Last summer, Daniel SolisGallardo was on top of theworld. The first to graduatefrom high school in his imme-diate family, the young residentof Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, wasin excellent physical shape,counted many friends, had agirlfriend, and held an admis-sion to the college of his choos-ing, the historic Atoytzinaparural teachers’ college locatednot far from the state capitalof Chilpancingo. But onlyweeks into his first year at theresidential school, the 18-year-old was cut down by policebullets in the city of Iguala,Guerrero.

In an interview with FNS,Solis’ mother shared importantbits and pieces of her son’s shortlife. Born to the union of InesGallardo Martinez and JaimeSolis Serrano on Father’s Day,June 16, 1996, Daniel was theoldest of three children. Rollingthrough her phone, Gallardoshowed off photos and videoand played some of the Daniel’sfavorite songs. Daniel elated atwinning a soccer match withhis team. Daniel and friendsplaying paintball. Daniel deckedout in a pink shirt and black tieat his high school graduationceremony.

A portrait emerged of Danielas a serious yet humorousyoung man with one foot inMexican tradition and one footin the globalized techno-worldof the 21st century.

According to mom, her old-est child liked enchiladas and redmole, banda and pop music, andFacebook. He excelled in En-glish, earning high grades in thesubject at his public high schooland enrolling in a one-yearcourse at a private school. Forvacation, Daniel loved to visithis paternal grandparents’ smallspread in the Costa Grande to-ward Acapulco and work withtheir cows. To his friends andfamily in Zihuatanejo, he wasnicknamed “El Borre,” short for“The Sheep,” because of hiscurly hair. To his grandparents,he was known as “El Becerro,”or “The Young Bull.”

Early in life Daniel showeda propensity for sports andphysical activity. He startedswimming when he was twoyears old.

“When it rains, arroyos are

created and we go have fun.He started learning how toswim,” Gallardo reminisced. Ashort woman with a darkcosteña complexion and burstsof the curly hair that earnedher son the nickname “ElBorre,” Gallardo said Danielwanted to avoid the substanceabuse that traps so many localyouth and become a teacher.

“He said he was going tostudy, because he did not wantto fall into drugs or drinking,”she added.

Describing her Daniel assomeone who was devoted tomaintaining his physique by thetime he was 15 or 16 years ofage, Gallardo chuckled how heused to say, “I don’t want tobe a cactus!”

Getting Daniel off to collegewasn’t easy for his family. Dadworks maintenance and is amiddle school graduate. Momonly completed elementaryschool and cleans houses.Nonetheless, the parents con-veyed a message to Daniel andtheir siblings that higher edu-cation is a must.

“We tell our children theyhave our total support to studyand get ahead and not be likeus,” Gallardo mused. Daniel’scompletion of high school wasa “huge” event for the strug-gling family, she added.

Having an uncle who hadattended Ayotzinapa, Danielwas attracted to a school thatdoesn’t charge tuition but sub-sists on threadbare resourcesand, according to the accountsof former and current students,the sheer willpower of the all-male student body. Yet, gettingadmitted to Ayotzinapa is notan easy matter, as a series ofrigorous tests await prospec-tive students in order to weedout the weak from the strong.

“It’s very difficult to get in.There’s an admission examfirst, an exam in socio-eco-nomics and a one-week trial inwhich (freshmen) hardly sleep.Little food and hard exercise.They sleep on the floor,”Gallardo said. “This is done totest the students because theygo on to become teachers inthe mountains, where theyhave to walk five to nine hoursat a time, cross rivers and walka lot. There are (poor) fami-lies where they go and theyhave to be like them.”

Daniel passed the initialtests. “He was very happy.

They were small farmers at the(semester’s) beginning, plant-ing corn,” Gallardo recalled.During the few weeks Danielwas enrolled in Ayotzinapa, hisfamily kept in touch over thephone but was unable to visitthe school because of Daniel’sbusy schedule.

On September 27, 2014, thefamily rushed to Ayotzinapa af-ter they were informed of theprevious evening’s events inIguala by a cousin of Daniel´s;no authority initially contactedthe family to say Daniel had beenshot and killed, Gallardo said.

Months later, the mother ofthree said she still has seriousdoubts about what really hap-pened the Night of Iguala, asthe Mexican newsweeklyProceso has coined the policemassacre and mass disappear-ance of students. Gallardo de-mands clarification of the kill-ings and, attuned to reports ofsoldiers harassing studentsseeking help for injured class-mates in an Iguala hospital,endorses growing calls for aninvestigation of the army’s rolein the cataclysmic evening.

Gallardo told FNS that she’dseen the case file in whichmunicipal policemen detainedin connection with the Igualaviolence declared their inno-cence, but did not know abouta recent story in Proceso thatreported on the purported tor-tures of some of the arrestedsuspects. “I’m going to look forit,” she said.

Daniel Solis Gallardo wasamong three Ayotzinapa stu-dents who were slain outrightby police in the streets ofIguala during confrontationslast September 26 and 27. Afourth student, Aldo Gutierrez,remains in a coma from his in-juries, while the remains of afifth, Alexander Mora, waslater identified by the Univer-

sity of Innsbruck in Austria. 42students are officially listed asforcibly disappeared by policeand other gunmen linked to or-ganized crime.

Happening on the proverbialwrong place at the wrong time,three other civilians who hadnothing to do with the deadlypolice-Ayotzinapa student en-counter were also moweddown by police gunfire.

Digging into their own pock-ets to purchase bus fare,Gallardo and her husband trav-eled to Iguala so they couldattend a January 30 court hear-ing for the arrested policemen.After a journey that lastedhours, they arrived in a city lo-cated on the other side of thestate only to learn that the ses-sion had been abruptly can-celed because paperwork hadnot arrived in time from MexicoCity. A court date is expectedfor later in February, she said.

Last year, Gallardo joinedother relatives of Ayotzinapavictims in Mexico City for anunprecedented meeting withPresident Enrique Peña Nietothat lasted from the early af-ternoon to about nine o’clockin the evening.

Since then, Gallardo cameto the conclusion that PeñaNieto dropped the ball. “Hefailed us, he is turning his backon us,” she contended. TheGuerrero native praised theoutpouring of international soli-darity with the students andtheir families, but insisted thatjustice has to come from withinMexico.

“The principal support shouldbe from the president of thecountry,” the mother held. “Onthe contrary, he’s attackingpeople instead of supportingthem.” In terms of the Igualaslaughter serving as a catalystfor transformation, Gallardojudged the country as having a

long way to go. “We need tounite ourselves in order tochange things,” she said.

Daniel’s death was a “hardblow” to the family, The grand-father was deeply affected,Gallardo and her husband havehealth problems, and Daniel’s7-year-old sister just doesn’tunderstand. “The little girldoesn’t stop asking for him.She says she misses him,”Gallardo said.

Daniel Solis Gallardo is farfrom forgotten. Among thenumerous Ayotzinapa protestbrigades that have formedaround the country in recentmonths, some have borne hisname. Recently, a friend ofDaniel’s told Gallardo that anexpectant new son will benamed after his murdered pal.

In a mother’s remembrance,the story of Daniel Solis Gallar-do could serve as an inspirationfor all. Although the teen neverrealized his dream of becominga teacher and working with chil-dren, Gallardo’s account of herson’s violently truncated life tes-tifies to a young man whosepath eventually touched the en-tire world.

“It was a tremendous loss.He wasn’t a mean person. Hegot along with everyone,” shesaid while holding back tears.“He had all the gumption in theworld to get ahead. He mas-tered whatever he set out todo. He did not have the cow-ardice to say, ‘I can’t do it.’”

By Jennifer Chung Klam

In the 1980s, a team of un-likely runners from an impov-erished, predominantly Latinohigh school overcame socialand economic hurdles to win anumber of state champion-ships.

The cross country runnersfrom McFarland High School,in the San Joaquin Valley ofCalifornia, inspired the film“McFarland USA,” set to bereleased Feb. 20. The film fol-lows a group of Latino studentsand their new gym teacher JimWhite, played by Kevin Costner,who put together the highschool’s first ever cross coun-try team.

The team faces many chal-lenges.

“This is a farming town,” acolleague tells White as hestarts his new job at the highschool. “These kids workinghere are invisible. They comefrom the fields and they goback to the fields.”

Coach White becomes morethan a mentor to the boys, hebecomes something of a sec-ond father to them, with a com-mitment that blurs the line be-tween work and home. Alongthe way, he learns a lot abouttheir culture, strong family re-lationships and work ethic. Thefilm also tackles real life issuessuch as prejudice and crime.

With hard work and deter-mination, the runners build achampionship team and beattheir much more affluent com-petitors from around the state.

The true story of the cross-country runners from McFar-land High School was detailedin a 1997 Los Angeles Timesarticle about the team. Follow-ing the story’s publication, Jim

White received an outpouringof support from strangersaround the state. He receivedenvelopes with checks, offersfrom individuals and corpora-tions to buy clothing, food andathletic gear for the boys – andcalls from movie companies in-terested in their story.

Not a whole lot has changedin McFarland since the team’sfirst state championship in1987. McFarland is still amongthe state’s poorest cities, withper capita income of $8,903,according to the most recentU.S. Census data. More than90 percent of the population isLatino, with the majority hail-ing from Mexico. Most of thesefamilies work in the fields, har-vesting the rich bounty ofgrapes, peaches, plums, nec-tarines, watermelons and bellpeppers. They eke out a livingwith the help of wages earnedby their children – some whostart working as young as 8.

As one runner in the filmsays, “There ain’t nothingAmerican Dream about thisplace.”

In the summer months, kidsin McFarland would toil along-side their parents, picking cropsfrom sunrise to sundown. Atthe end of the day, CoachWhite would lead the boys onthe team back through thefields, running for miles. Theyran with hand-me-down run-ning shoes, sometimes withoutenough food in their bellies.

But for some of them, run-ning meant a way out of thefields and out of poverty. Doz-

ens have gone on to get col-lege educations and becometeachers, prison guards andjournalists. Many would returneach year to attend meets, andalso help mentor and train anew group of runners.

In reality, the team went onto win 25 section titles since1987 in divisions V through II.But due to a one-of-a-kindcompetitive equity model,which allows restructuring ofdivision based on wins as wellas school size, last year theschool was elevated to Divi-sion I. McFarland, which has750 students, was forced tocompete against schools thathave more than 2,000 students.

The team was knocked outby the larger schools, andmissed the state competitionfor the first time in 24 years.

The runners from this small,underfunded school will haveto work harder than ever towin another state champion-ship. But if history is any indi-cation, the McFarland cross-country team is up for the chal-lenge.

“McFarland, USA,” pro-duced by Disney, is directed byNiki Caro. The film starsCostner and Maria Belloalongside a number of youngLatino actors, including “TheBridge’s” Carlos Platts, andactual McFarland student run-ners. Latin music superstarJuanes recorded the film’s titletrack, “Juntos (Together).”

New film depicts Latino cross-country teamrunning to victory

“I thought this would be agreat story for children tohear,” said González. “It’s apowerful story about never giv-ing up on your dream, andworking toward your dreamdespite all odds.”

González teaches theaterarts at California State LosAngeles. He has written for“PAZ,” the Emmy Award-nominated television series pro-duced by Discovery Kids forThe Learning Channel. He isa playwright-in-residence withSouth Coast Repertory andChildsplay. Just a few of hisplays include “The Long RoadToday,” “The San Patricios,”“The Sun Serpent,” “SuperCowgirl and Mighty Miracle”and “Invierno.”

He is one of the most com-missioned and most producedplaywrights in theater foryoung audiences, and his playsaddress themes children faceevery day.

“He writes with honesty andbeauty. His work can really betransformative for young au-diences,” said Steve McCor-mick, director of education andoutreach for La Jolla Play-house.

Each year the Playhousecommissions a new play foryoung audiences. The POPTour productions are seen byabout 20,000 kids each year.“Astronaut Farmworker” willplay for 2nd through 5th gradeclasses in close to 50 schoolsthroughout San Diego County.The set, costumes and propsare designed to fit into a vanand be set up in just 30 min-utes.

Prior to each performance,a Playhouse teaching artist vis-its each school to oversee aninteractive workshop to explorethe play’s issues and themes.

Following the 45-minute per-formance, the cast and crewconduct a question and answersession with the audience.

There will also be four pub-lic performances, at 1 p.m. and3:30 p.m. on Feb. 14-15.

The Playhouse has beencommitted to producing the-ater for children since 1987.McCormick said the Playhousegives POP Tour plays the sameresources and attention asother theatrical productions.

“We don’t look at it as a‘precious’ experience, it’s nota ‘sweet’ thing that we get todo. We believe strongly in cre-ating work for a multigenera-tional audience,” McCormicksaid.

As theater for young audi-ences has evolved, plays havebecome more meaningful and

relevant, featuring more com-plex characters and themes.McCormick said it is vitallyimportant for the Playhouse todo work for children that ischallenging, and to provideshared experiences that are notstatic and passive.

“So much entertainment foryoung people is candy, pretty,simplistic, didactic, and as-sumes that young people aren’tsmart enough to actually com-prehend or wrestle with bigideas,” he said. “It’s importantthat we as artists are creatingwork that shows that theseyoung people are capable ofprocessing information, anddeserve high-quality art thatdoesn’t speak down to them.”

“The Encuentros Educationand STEM Career ExplorationConference is an empoweringevent for all middle and highschool Latino students who arethe youngest, largest and fast-est growing population in theUnited States,” said Dr. SunitaCooke, president/superinten-dent of MiraCosta College.“MiraCosta College is honoredto be able to host this event ev-ery year to help encourage andsupport these young men toachieve their educational goalsand succeed in the world.”

And when it comes to STEMcareers, Latino boys and youngmen need all the help they canget. According to EncuentrosLeadership founder and chiefoperations officer, RobertoRivas, 53 percent of Latinoboys in California do not finishhigh school.

The conference is part ofnon-profit Encuentros Leader-ship’s efforts to bridge the edu-cation gap among Latino boys,he said, especially when itcomes to STEM careers andcollege enrollment.

“By advocating about thecurrent impact of STEM, stu-dents are not only given theopportunity to learn about fu-ture trends and careers in hightech, they also connect the dotsback to how education impactstheir future today,” Rivas said.

Since 2004, more than 10,000North County Latino studentshave attended the Encuentrosconference. Rivas said that ithas had a tremendous impactin the area.

“We have collected datatracking many of our first at-tendees in 2004 and have dis-covered that many have pur-sued and achieved their under-

graduate degrees,” he said.“Many of the boys who at-tended our first Conferenceshave returned as volunteers andhave spoken eloquently in testi-monials of how Encuentros in-spired their educational goals.”

This year, Huizar will talkabout his experience transfer-ring from MiraCosta to MITin a talk titled From commu-nity college to MIT. Duringthe conference student partici-pants from local middle andhigh schools will have the op-portunity to meet with Latinoprofessionals and start think-ing about their future careers.

Huizar, the student at MIT,said he still can’t get his mindaround being at one of the topuniversities for math and tech-nology.

“I still am trying to believethis amazing opportunity I getto have,” he said. “I am still

overwhelmed by the welcom-ing atmosphere and the manyopportunities at this fine institu-tion. Every day I wake up andwonder if I am really here. Ican’t wait for the next day tolearn more from the amazingfaculty and spend time with myfriends learning and growing.”

There is no cost to attend theconference; however pre-reg-istration is suggested and is ona first-come, first-served basis.Organizers expect around 200students will attend the event.

Muchas personas pasan porla vida sin descubrir cuál es suverdadera vocación, muchasincluso, escogen cualquiertrabajo que pague sus cuentas,sin pensar en cuál es su misiónen esta tierra, a que vinieron o,al menos, que les gusta.

Pero otros tienen su pro-pósito de vida muy claro y seencaminan en él sin dificultad,eso, más que una virtud, es unprivilegio.

Anabel Castro Thompsonuna hispana que se dedica a laenfermería o lo que aquíllamamos nurse practitioner,en el área del cuidado paliativoy que tiene algo para decirle aaquellos que están tratando dedeterminar qué hacer con suvida, sobre el campo de laenfermería: “hay muchosdiferentes lugares donde unopuede trabajar; en una clínica,en una escuela, en un centrocomunitario, y uno siemprepuede avanzar, puedes cambiarde especialidad lo más quequieras”.

Anabel recuerda, además,que la necesidad de enfer-

meros -y enfermeras- bi-culturales y bilingües, es cadavez más amplia, en un país enel que la comunidad hispana esla minoría más importante ennúmero y continúa creciendo.

La oferta es atractiva si sepiensa que según Anabel, deacuerdo a la especialidad, elcampo, la experiencia y lamodalidad de trabajo, un enfer-mero puede ganar de 80 a 150mil dólares al año.

Sin embargo, actualmente,de acuerdo con la AsociaciónNacional de Enfermeros His-panos, NAHN, la cantidad dehispanos que decide dedicarsea la enfermería es mínima, ylos números no han cambiadoen los últimos 10 años.

Con seguridad la ignoranciasobre lo que realmente es laprofesión y las posibilidadesque ofrece han impedido quemuchos se decidan por unacarrera plena de posibilidades.

tament to VAYA’s core mis-sion, which is empoweringyouth to be involved in theircommunities,” VAYA presidentAndy Nguyen said. “This hasbeen what VAYA is all aboutand I’m proud to see it con-tinue to prosper.”

The Tet festival, the Viet-namese New Year celebration,started in 2006 at QualcommStadium and then moved toBalboa Park in 2008. Becauseof the construction and prepa-ration for the Centennial cel-ebration, the festival thenmoved to Mira Mesa in 2013.

“The construction at BalboaPark was a big reason why wemoved to Mira Mesa, but be-cause of the outpouring of sup-port from the community, wedecided to stay and continueto host the festival here,”Nguyen said.

With the 10th anniversarycelebration, the group is doinga bit of reminiscing about notonly its history, but also the his-tory of Vietnamese people inUnited States. Next year isalso the 40th anniversary of theFall of Saigon and the start ofthe Vietnamese diaspora. It isalso the 45th anniversary of theHue Massacre where morethan 4,000 civilian victims werekilled during the Communistoccupation of Hue.

This is the reason why thisyear’s festival theme is Springof Nostalgia, Nguyen said.

Some of the new attractionsplanned for this year include arevamped Cultural Village thatwill incorporate some of thehistory of Vietnamese life inAmerica since the Fall, the re-launch of the Golden Voice

competition and an expandedentertainment program.

The festival, which attractsmore than 20,000 people eachyear, promises fun for wholethe family with such activitiesas carnival rides and games,authentic Vietnamese food, liondancing and firecrackers.

The upcoming year, beingthe year of the goat, there willalso a goat petting zooe for thekids to enjoy.

Festival Dates and Hoursare: Friday, Feb. 20, 2015 from5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday,Feb. 21, 2014 from 11 a.m. to10 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 22,2014 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.Admission is free.

WASHINGTON - Acknowledg-ing the growing number of His-panic Catholics in the UnitedStates, diocesan social actiondirectors strategized Feb. 6 onhow to better integrate themnot just in their local parish, butin the wider church.

There was no shortage ofideas offered during the day-long meeting of the RoundtableAssociation of Catholic Dioc-esan Social Action Directors,and one of the sponsors of theFeb. 7-10 Catholic Social Min-istry Gathering in Washington.

Rich Fowler, a former so-cial action director in the Dio-cese of Stockton, California,recalled how Bishop StephenE. Blaire of Stockton wantedstrong peace and justice com-munities in every parish in thediocese — and he didn’t wantthe parish leadership to be justAnglo.

One ready resource for En-glish-speakers, Fowler said,was the “Good News People”program available from Just-Faith. But “Good NewsPeople” wasn’t available inSpanish, Fowler said, and thepossibility existed that a trans-lation into Spanish of Anglospirituality would not work wellwith Hispanics.

However, Fowler cameupon “La Justicia Brota de laFe” (“Justice Flows FromFaith”), a formation programoffered by Renew Interna-tional that was not only con-ceived in Spanish, but was im-bued with Latin Americanspirituality. English speakerstook the one-year “Good News

People” series, while Spanishspeakers are just now finish-ing up the two-year “La Justi-cia” program.

Representatives of JustFaithand Renew who were in at-tendance at the Roundtablemeeting said they would workto cross-promote the other’sprogram to twin with theirown.

Jesuit Father Allan FigueroaDeck, who was the first ex-ecutive director of the U.S.bishops’ Secretariat for Cul-tural Diversity in the Church,outlined some the differing ap-proaches to spirituality taken byAnglos and Hispanics.

Anglo approaches to spiri-tuality, he said, tend toward theindividual, to reason, the prag-matic, the analytic and the dis-cursive. The Hispanic ap-proach, Father Deck added, isnot individual but collective innature, and often emotive, con-crete and immediate, graphicinstead of analytical, andstresses both the transcendentand the a “learn by doing” na-ture.

Symbolism cannot be dis-counted, Father Deck said. Thebanner of Our Lady of Guada-lupe used by the United FarmWorkers union at its start 50years ago “galvanized a move-ment,” he added.

Leadership in Hispanic min-istry must work together on ad-vocacy issues, said EstelaVillagran Manancero, presi-dent of the National CatholicAssociation of Diocesan Di-rectors for Hispanic Ministry,and director of the Office of

Latino Ministry for the Arch-diocese of St. Paul and Min-neapolis.

Such issues go from improv-ing border management to“making college possible foryoung Latino immigrants,” shesaid. On schooling issues, shesuggested connecting Catholicschools “with the number ofyoung Latino children whowould love to be in ourschools,” adding it could alsofoster vocations.

Seemingly simple initiativescould have a profound effect,such as how the Society of St.Vincent de Paul is now urgingits chapters that run thrift shopsto pay a living wage to theirworkers so the employeesdon’t have to avail themselvesof the bargain-priced goodsthey sell.

Diocesan “Justice for Immi-grants” activities are “orga-nized around the popular cel-ebrations of spirituality” in theHispanic community “to getpeople to engage in advocacy,”said Marco Raposo, director ofPeace and Justice Ministry forthe Diocese of El Paso, Texas.

“We started with posadas,which have been around forhundreds of years,” Rapososaid. A posada re-enacts theefforts of Joseph and Mary tofind lodging in Bethlehem be-fore the Christ child is born.“Then we turned it into migrantposada. ... During Lent wehave the migrant Way of theCross.”

New bilingual online platform helps DREAMers and otherimmigrants navigate, complete and file immigration paperwork

Filing government or legal pa-perwork is a necessary eye-crossing task that most of us haveto do more often than we like.Thank goodness we live in thetech age. Software and/orwebsites have been created tomake the whole process easierand less time consuming. Fromfiguring out how much we oweUncle Sam to creating a will orstarting a business, technologyhas opened the door to morepeople accomplishing thesetasks that before would have costmost people a chunk of theirpaycheck, time and sanity.

Yet, for immigrants whosewhole future in the UnitedStates depends on filling outpages of confusing legal paper-work, it’s important that it notonly be done correctly but ascost-effective as possiblegiven the high cost of immigra-tion fees. For students knownas DREAMers, their immedi-

ate future of getting a job andmoving freely depends evenmore heavily on getting theirpaperwork right the first time.

Horror stories exist of im-migrant families and DREAM-ers relying on others, who saythey know how to navigate therequired paperwork, left fac-ing deportation because theforms weren’t filled out cor-rectly. Not only are these im-migrants facing deportation butsome have usually paid theirhard-earned money for nada.

San Francisco entrepreneurand son of Italian immigrants,Cesare Alessandrini, knewthere was an easier way forall immigrants to fill out thepaperwork they needed to stayin the United States. After all,if people could generate anonline form to file their taxesor create a business, why nottheir immigration papers?

“My family and I have per-

sonally experienced the confu-sion and anxiety involved incompleting immigration pa-pers,” said Cesare Alessand-rini. “I founded FileRight to helpthe millions of immigrants andDREAMers file their paper-work right.”

At FileRight, users find thedocument they need, fill it outonline by answering somequestions and then follow thestep-by-step directions on howto file it correctly. Once it’sfiled, all that’s left is to wait tohear from the government.

Alessandrini is so convincedthat people will experience suc-cess with his platform that “hepromises to reimburse custom-ers the cost of FileRight feesplus their government filingfees (for DACA that’s $465)if their application is denied.”

The forms are available inboth Spanish and English andtech support is promised 24/7.

When the city council ofChula Vista appointedSteve Miesen, thecouncilmembers noted

the potential of a conflict. The generalpublic has talked about the conflict ofinterest. Jill Galvez felt strongly enoughabout the conflict of interest that shewrote a commentary on it. And recently,the Star News has reported about thepossibility of a conflict of interest withthis appointment.

The only people who don’t seem to careare the very people who should care themost, the city council. Instead of doingthe right thing by finding a qualified per-son to serve, the council settled on ex-pediency and set aside the conflict ques-tion and went ahead and appointedMiesen.

In this instance the City Attorney pro-vided the council members the coverthey needed to make the appointment.The City Attorney, Glen Googins, took avery narrow view, looking at only the fi-nancial disclosure form, and stated thatbecause the city contract with RepublicServices, where Miesen serves as Divi-sion Manager, would not come up in thenext two years, that he was good to go.

We see two problems with this legalopinion by Googins: First, Googins is anelected official whose primary role is toprovide the citizens of Chula Vista withlegal representation that reflects the bestinterest of the city, not the city councils’personal yes man. Secondly, if Googinshad looked beyond the financial disclo-sure form and looked into the Conflict ofInterest publication issued by the Califor-nia Attorney General, he would have foundplenty of code violations that the appoint-ment represented. But he didn’t and assuch never brought those issues beforethe city. Googins failed the citizens ofChula Vista in this instance.

To clarify, Steve Miesen is DivisionManager of Republic Services, the soleprovider of trash pick-up, recycling, andmanagement of a landfill on public lands.Republic Services is considered a PUB-LIC/PRIVATE partnership. That meansthey are a private contractor that has beenoutsourced to provide a city service. Thiswould be similar to Sweetwater Author-ity, a public agency that serves the needsof the city. A water district and an electedoffice was cited as an example of incom-patible offices which “presented a sig-nificant potential for a clash of dutiesand loyalties...”

Because Miesen is simultaneouslyserving as the head of a public privatepartnership and as an appointed citycouncil person whose job it is to over-see the outsourcing contract, the Miesenappointment would fall under the Com-mon Law doctrine prohibiting “self-deal-ing”, the statutes relating to incompat-ible offices (offices referring to publicoffices as well as positions of authorityin other organizations), and CaliforniaLaw, section 1090. According to the At-

torney General, “Section 1090 essen-tially prohibits a public official frombeing financially interested in a contractin both the official’s public and privatecapacities.” Miesen not only owns sharesof Republic Waste, but he also collectsa substantial salary as Division Manager.Without the Chula Vista contract, wouldhe even have a job?

Or Googins could have referred toChapter XIV. CODE OF ETHICS Gov-ernment Code Section 8920 et seq.,which in part states: E. Potential Con-flict in Duties or Functions - The incom-patible offices prohibition does not re-quire proof of an actual clash betweenthe two offices in the context of a par-ticular decision. It is enough that thereis the potential for a significant clashbetween the two offices at some pointin the future.

These are just two examples of the lawwhich outline the conflict of interest withthe appointment of Miesen and just anexample of the laws ignored by City At-torney Googins. These issues that shouldhave been raised and discussed prior tothe appointment of Steve Miesen.

While Googins fell down on the job,our disdain is reserved for the city coun-cil members themselves. The membersknew that this appointment would be anissue. They knew that there was a con-flict of interest here, they even talkedabout it before the appointment and in-stead of doing the right thing, they choseto sacrifice their character, their integ-rity at the altar of expediency!

We are especially disappointed incouncilmember Pat Aguilar who in herfirst term presented herself as a politi-cian of integrity, a politician with prin-ciples.

This appointment process was toughfor a variety of reasons and instead ofcinching up their belts and going to workto achieve the best possible outcome,this council took the easy way out, evenif it meant doing the wrong thing. Notonly does this reflect badly on this pro-cess but it brings into question future de-cisions that this council will be making.

This council will have to make muchtougher decisions, on much bigger is-sues, dealing with millions of dollars. Isthis a prelude to how they will make fu-ture decisions?

With the way this council went aboutthis decision how can the citizens ofChula Vista trust them to do the rightthing in the future?

Lastly, we wonder if Miesen read theConflict Rules himself? If he had hewould have noted that once his term isexpired he will be prohibited from ad-dressing the city council, or meetingwith city council members for one (1)year, either orally or in writing, which isreferred to as the “revolving door.” Asthe head of a Public/Private agency thiscould hamper his ability to conduct busi-ness, which may not make the corporateheads too happy!

It is not a question of if…It IS a conflict of interest!

When fences go up instead ofPOE infrastructure,

thousands of jobs andbusiness enterprises are lost

By Barbara Zaragoza

In the past several weeks, a smallconstruction crew has been puttingup bollard fencing to seal anotherpiece of the San Diego-Tijuana bor-der near the Pacific Ocean. Untilnow that particular space has alwaysbeen borderless due to the steepmountain terrain. The crew appears to haverazed down portions of the mountain and cre-ated a smooth road on the American side forborder patrol vehicles. The construction showsthat the border fence is like a living organismthat continues to grow and expand.

America’s obsession with fence building at theU.S.-Mexico line began in 1955 when peoplefeared that Red China was deliberately smug-gling illegal drugs through the border in order todope up American youth and weaken capital-ism. A chain link fence was constructed that ranfrom San Ysidro through the Tijuana River Val-ley. That fence remained for another four de-cades, until a series of economic blows in Mexicosent the peso spiraling. By the early 1990s,America’s response was Operation Gatekeeper:Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) increasedsecurity and replaced the chain link fence withmilitary landing mat. The result: between 1995and 2005 the number of illegal Mexican immi-grants jumped up from 2.9 to 6.3 million.

Many attributed the increase to NAFTA,which was introduced at the same time. Thefree trade agreement dealt a devastating blowto farmers who could no longer compete withimported American goods. As a consequence,many Mexicans workers had to go North toprovide for themselves and their families.

After 9/11 politicians once again enacted leg-islation to increase border security, often citingthe potential for terrorist threats. According toan NBC News report, the CBP spent $2.4 bil-lion between 2006 and 2009 to complete 670miles of border fence. The result? Drug andcontraband seizures nearly doubled. While ille-gal entries to the United States fell by 69%between 2006 to 2011, CBP said they couldnot account for the impact of the fence.

Now, H.R.399 or the “Secure Our BordersFirst Act,” wants to authorize $1 billion in spend-ing each year from 2016 to 2025 to further in-crease militarization at the U.S.-Mexico line.The bill wants more fence construction andadded technologies, such as subterranean sur-veillance and unmanned aerial vehicles. Inter-estingly, if the bill were to come into law, theSecretary of Homeland Security would be ex-pected to provide metrics that weigh the ef-fectiveness of the new security measuresagainst the impact upon industry and jobs.

But don’t those metrics already exist?The above numbers demonstrate the effec-

tiveness of previous border building. What themedia often fails to examine are the economicimpacts on legal crossings when border build-ing takes financial precedence over infrastruc-ture improvements at the ports of entry.

Mexico is our third largest trading partner. In2013 the two-way trade was $507 billion.Mexico was also our second largest goods ex-port market.

For California, Mexico was the state’s num-ber one export market in 2013, accounting for14 percent of all California exports (or $23.9billion). A full 99% of total trade between Cali-fornia and Mexico was transported by trucks.

Mexican shoppers have also been anothervital economic stimulator for the San Diego andCalifornia economy. More than 68% of the 1.6million people living in Tijuana cross the borderto shop. They spend at least $6 billion a year,or more than $1 of every $8 in retail sales. Thatmeans the Mexican population pours at least

$480 million sales tax dollars into the economyevery year.

This number, however, is stifled due toAmerica’s border security obsession, whichfails to adequately respond to the needs of le-gal crossers. According to SANDAG, inad-equate infrastructure at the ports of entry trans-late into an estimated loss of $7.2 billion in grossoutput and a loss of 62,000 jobs.

What’s more, in 2008 northbound vehiclecrossings fell by 12.9 % and continued to de-cline each year thereafter. Declines up to 10%were also seen in individual crossings. Whileeconomists may point to the sub-prime mort-gage collapse and the U.S. recession as thecause (the numbers have again been increas-ing in the last two years), the declines in cross-ings also happened to have coincided with in-creased border militarization.

Illegal immigrant crossings constitute any-where from a high estimate of 2%, but morelikely 0.2% of the total number of people cross-ing the border each year. Paul Carr, Supervi-sory Border Patrol Agent in the San Diego sec-tor said that for 2013, Border Patrol made27,496 arrests. That constitutes about the samenumber for one year as the number of legallaw-abiding pedestrians who cross the borderat the San Ysidro Port of Entry each day.

Even if we were to take a very inflated num-ber, such as 1 million illegal crossings throughthe entire 1,954 mile range and compare thatto the number of legal vehicle and pedestriancrossings per year at only the San Ysidro portof entry (where 50 million vehicles and pedes-trians cross annually) we would still get a maxi-mum of 2% illegal crossings, in comparison tothe 98% of legal crossings done by individualswho will inject the U.S. economy with revenue.

A CRS Report for Congress estimated thatillicit drug sale earnings ranged from $13.6 to$48.4 billion annually. That means H.R. 399would spend $1 billion in taxpayer dollars onstemming an illicit trade that reflects 3% - 9.5%of the total amount of legal trade taking place.

Meanwhile, the federal government appro-priated only $741 million for the entirereconfiguration of the largest land port of entryin the world, San Ysidro, even though reportsshow that by 2030 the number of vehicles andpedestrians at that port of entry could increaseby 87%.

Spending a proportional amount of federal dol-lars to improve the infrastructure at the 47 portsof entry along the U.S.-Mexico border couldprovide a colossal stimulus to our economy, in-fusing many industries with revenue and creat-ing thousands of jobs. On the other hand, exor-bitant spending to seal the border could poten-tially send the economy into another recession.

Ever since Operation Gatekeeper, border mili-tarization has been a unilateral project wherethe U.S. has kept Mexico out of the negotia-tions. The fence has always been constructed 3to 300 feet away from the line, exclusively onAmerican soil. As Washington D.C. continuesto send our neighbor the message that they area threat, could it eventually come to pass thatMexico will decide they’ve been slighted anddisrespected one too many times? If they closetheir borders to the U.S., they’ll be taking $480million in tax dollars and $507 billion in trade else-where, and perhaps, for example, to our otherprimary trade partners, Canada and China.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!

Commentary/Opinion Page

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: Can you pleaseexplain to me the basis as to why someChicanos and mexicanos get offendedwhen you speak to them in Spanish? Asa fellow Chicano, I find it hard tobelieve that raza gets offended by thisgenuine approach to them. Have younoticed this behavior yourself? Thatlittle dirty look that comes from whenyou say “Hola” to them makes it hardto even approach. Is this pattern moredeeply rooted in the times wherespeaking Spanish was shameful act inthe U.S.? And to be accepted, manyChicanos were prohibited from speakingSpanish? If the Reconquista was to everbe fulfilled, how would Spanish-speakingChicanos, and non-Spanish-speakingChicanos get along?

Habla Henry

Dear Henry is Speaking: As if Mexicansdon’t have it hard enough—narcos backhome, Know Nothings in the States, and aMexican soccer team that probably won’twin the FIFA World Cup in our lifetime—comes this conundrum. I get the underlyinganger of Chicanos and Mexicans who don’twant to speak Spanish—they’re upset youdon’t think they’re smart enough tounderstand English, or are so ashamed ofnot knowing Spanish that they take it out onyou. But the flip side to that is Mexicanswho get enojados if you address them inEnglish—as if you’re supposed to knowthey don’t speak it! Can’t paisas andpochos get along? And the answer is ofcourse, no. That’s why the Mexican alwaysgreets everyone, regardless of linguisticability, with a mariachi cry, the universallanguage of chingones, and goes fromthere.

I have to do an interview report onMexican culture and I need to interviewa person that’s from Mexico but I don’tknow about that culture even thoughI’m Mexican myself but you Mexicanscall me a whitewashed Mexican so I

don’t think I willhave the questionsthat I will need soanyways what goodquestions should Iask when I do myinterview reportabout Mexicanculture or anythingabout the Mexican things?

Run Ronaldo Run

Dear Wab: Asking the Mexican aboutquestions to ask Mexicans about Mexicans?How meta! The only real pregunta I havefor my raza that I don’t have an answer foris why more of you didn’t buy my TacoUSA: How Mexican Food ConqueredAmerica, or how come someone hasn’tstarted a torta chain that’ll turn Chipotle intothe next Chi-Chi’s.

CONFIDENTIAL TO: Know Nothingswho are trying to blame the recent measlesoutbreak on Mexicans—it ain’t happening.Vaccination studies show that Mexicans areamong the most vaccinated people in theUnited States, whether getting shots here aschicos or those crazy needles that ourparents and cousins had to undergo back inMexico that left a giant mark on their armsthat looks like a Neolithic-era ceremonialscarring. The least vaccinated people in losEstados Unidos, on the other hand, aregabachos: Amish, survivalists, and suburbanmoms who lunch on kale. The myth ofMexicans bringing pandemics to kill offgabachos is a tool that the Right tries to useagain and again to further their career, butthe last guy who tried it? Former CNN hostLou Dobbs? Remember him? He’scompeting against a UHF signal nowadays,and that destiny will happen to allconspiracy-spewing gabachos like him—oh, and beautiful half-Mexican grandkids.

By Grace Flores-Hughes

There is a federal government process thatgoes on in the nation’s capital that very fewAmericans know about, and even less have ex-perienced: The Senate Confirmation.

Yet, it’s one of the most important processesin our federal government, and it all has to dowith the United States holding hearings andeventually (not always) confirming thepresident’s high-level appointees that will servein his or her administration. This process is partof the Senate’s constitutional “advice and con-sent” responsibilities.

Those of us that have experienced a “Sen-ate confirmation,” know firsthand how intenseand nerve wrecking the process can be. Theidea of appearing in front of a group of Sena-tors, some of who aren’t warm and fuzzy tobegin with, and who are worse in their ques-tioning, can be a scary thing indeed. Never mindthat preparing for the hearings can be worsethan preparing for college senior finals.

However, it usually boils down to this; yousimply have to know why you want the posi-tion, what the position entails and how you planto carry out your duties. To some this processis a “cake walk” especially if they have gonethrough the process before.

But for those of us going in for the first time,it’s definitely a sleepless night before hearingday and even more sleepless nights until theSenate vote comes in.

It was indeed an honor for me to be nomi-nated by President Reagan to be the Directorof the Community Relations Service at the De-partment of Justice. His announcement of mynomination was made in the Rose Garden ofthe White House, and it was if I may be somodest, a big deal.

The anxiety that accompanies a SenateConfirmation hearing

There were cameras positioned throughoutthe Rose Garden and both President Reaganand Vice President H.W. Bush were on stagewith me and a few other top-level appointees.

But that was the easy part. Once the inves-tigation of my background began it was if “allthe dogs were let lose” to attack me and noone else.

Everything about me since the day I was bornwas fair game, federal agents called on oldfriends, neighbors, work colleagues even fright-ening some of my mother’s viejita neighborswho couldn’t understand why I was being in-vestigated. But the investigation was nothingcompared to the problems I faced from de-tractors that didn’t want to see me as the headof the Community Relations Service.

Unlikely enemies in during SenateConfirmation

It became a total shock to learn that thosecausing my confirmation problems were mem-bers of my very own Mexican-American com-munity. They simply didn’t want me in that posi-tion because they wanted a friend of theirs in-stead. They wanted their friend to be the one torun the conflict resolution agency, and they werepulling all the stops to derail my nomination.

I am not the first nominee to endure suchopposition, but to put up a fight for such a smallagency against people from my own ethnicbackground was certainly a first and to say the

least “shocking”.It got to the point where I thought about with-

drawing my nomination. But I figured that giventhat I had survived my challenging, mental andemotional childhood upbringing I could surelysurvive this, which I did.

But certainly it would never have happenedhad I not had the support of one particular sena-tor who knew me much better than the others;he was my next-door neighbor and friend, formerSenator Al Simpson of Wyoming. I was lucky,some nominees have no one to help them whenthey get in trouble during the confirmation pro-cess. Still others are so controversial no matter“who they know” that none will help them.

The “Senate Confirmation” process does nothave to be so difficult, but it is for some and itis certainly not for the faint hearted. Like ev-erything about Washington, D.C. politics, it’s atough experience. Some make it through theconfirmation, and some don’t.

The Maria Echaveste debacleI was especially sad to hear that my old friend

Maria Echaveste withdrew her nomination asPresident Obama’s pick to be our country’sAmbassador to Mexico. I wonder where wasthe Hispanic community during her fight—whyweren’t they backing up her nomination andcalling for senators to confirm her? Or washer nomination doomed in the new Republicancontrolled Senate?

Ms. Echaveste cited family concerns alongwith the short period of time left in Obama’sadministration as the reasons for her withdrawaland to be sure those are valid considerations.However, the other side of the coin is that shewould have been the first woman appointed asambassador to her family’s native country andwould have served her country well.

But here again, “Senate Confirmations” canbe a brutal process that serves the masters morethan the nominees. Hispanics didn’t fare wellwith Eschaveste, but they did with the confir-mation of Dallas prosecutor, Sarah Saldana,thanks to Senator Ted Cruz’s naiveté of Sen-ate proceedings.

In an attempt to force a vote on Obama’simmigration policies, he invoked a parliamen-tary procedure that didn’t go anywhere but itdid allow the Democrats to keep the Senate insession allowing them time to confirm severalof Obama’s nominees including Sara Saldana.

Interestingly, both Texas Senators JohnCornyn and Ted Cruz opposed Saldana’s con-firmation but Cruz who seems to talk more thanlisten these days, handed the Democrats a bigwin – its fair to say that it is most likely thatnone of these nominees would have won con-firmation in a Republican controlled Senate andMs. Saldana would have been out like Ms.Echaveste.

There you have it, an interesting process ofour American government that very few expe-rience but that is waiting for the next batch ofwell deserving Americans brave or luckyenough to see it through.

Over 3 decades, Grace Flores-Hughes hasserved in the administration of three presi-dents, including that of President GeorgeW. Bush who appointed her to the FederalService Impasses Panel. In 2011 she pub-lished her memoir, A Tale of Survival. Re-printed from VOXXI (http://voxxi.com/)

The brutality of the SenateConfirmation Process

the missions, for reverting to their native reli-gious practices, gathering wild food, hunting,or visiting their families.

Moreover, the friars made changes to theIndian’s diet, supplanting it with European foodsthat weakened their immune systems and madethem prey to diseases such as smallpox,measles and tuberculosis.

The mission system, Miranda explains toSonora, was a disaster. The Indian populationwas decimated because of European diseases,and the Indians lost their land, their religion,their language and their communities. And af-ter the mission period ended in 1833, the re-maining land was taken over by non-Indiansand later by Anglo settlers who arrived withthe Gold Rush.

As for the priests, said Miranda, some wereconsidered kind, and others mean. Father Serra,she says, defended the Indians at times, but“he never thought to ask, as you did, Sonora,what the Indians thought of the missions or thepriests.”

Serra, Miranda writes, believed that the Span-iards’ way was the only way, that Indians hadto change, even if it meant killing them, orspreading disease, or denying their human rights.“This way of thinking is called colonization—avery strange way of seeing the world. Goodluck with your report.”

In other thoughtful essays, Native Americaneducators deal with the sensitive question ofhow to talk to children about Spanish coloniza-tion and the missions. How does one tell thetruth without terrifying the students? And howdoes one discuss the Spanish colonizers with-out demonizing them, since many were sincereand well intentioned?

In another powerful essay, “Under the Lockand Key,” Terria Smith of the Torres MartinezDesert Cahuilla writes that the priests taughtIndians patriarchy, a system that was violentand male dominated. Rape, physical abuse andimprisonment were commonplace at all themissions.

Serra himself complained about the soldierslassoing Indian women and raping them. “Attimes Indian men would try to defend theirwives, only to be shot down with bullets,” hewrote.

Smith believes the legacy violence and abuseagainst native American women is still a com-

mon phenomenon, but that “an essential partof the healing process is to understand whatour ancestors went though.”

The canonization of Fray Junipero Serra, thatwill take place in Washington D.C. this fall islargely the work of Catholic church dignitarieswith a Eurocentric view of history. Chancesare that if Native Californians had any say inthis process, they would vote against it.

Serra was not a champion of Indian rights.He occasionally intervened on their behalf, buthe was a hard–nosed administrator who be-lieved floggings were necessary if the Indiansdisobeyed the rules. Despite his good intentions,he was essentially a company man.

True saints are not company men. They thinkoutside the box. They are rebels andwhistleblowers. They make things messy. Thepowers that be don’t want them around andtry to silence them.

Given the deep wounds created by the mis-sion legacy, the California Franciscans shouldfollow the example of Bishop Francis A. Quinnof Sacramento who made a public apology tothe Miwok Indians of Mission San Rafael in2007 for the church’s “cruel punishment ofthem” two centuries earlier.

“Some of the missionaries treated them un-fairly for not accepting European Catholicismand disciplined them for not following what theytaught them,” said Quinn. He added that sev-eral Miwoks wept when they heard him speakand said his remarks were historic.

And what about Francis of Assisi, whofounded the Franciscan order? He was a paci-fist who treated all creatures with deep loveand respect. He even moved a worm from oneside of the road to the other, so that “brotherworm” would not be run over. He would neverhave tolerated abuse in any form to anotherhuman being.

Francis would have vigorously opposed thedisastrous and bloody joint venture of his friarswith the Spanish military in the conquest ofCalifornia.

It’s time for the friars to apologize.

Canonization(con’t from page 1)

Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.

Todos sabemos que el gobierno de Califor-nia prefiere gastar una gran suma de dinero enel mantenimiento de las cárceles que invertiren la educación universitaria.

Actualmente el gobierno del estado gira uncheque de alrededor de $34,000 anuales porcada uno de los encarcelados. Mientras tanto,día a día el gobierno exige a los estudiantesque paguen más en colegiaturas y otrosservicios universitarios.

A pesar de que las cárceles están bastantebien subsidiadas, los problemas dentro de estosrecintos de “rehabilitación” siguen aumentandoy siguen creando dolores de cabeza al fisco.

El gobernador Jerry Brown cree queincrementando el presupuesto en un 87% —una tasa anual de $62,396 por encarcelado—resolvería los problemas en las cárceles.

A estas alturas, por más que se le aumente elpresupuesto a $100,000 por encarcelado, losproblemas en las cárceles seguirán siendo losmismos y no se van a resolver. Es decir, losproblemas no son necesariamente de tipoeconómico, sino que existen cuestiones de éticae ideología que raras veces han sido con-templados o discutidos por nuestros gobernantesdel estado.

¿Cómo es posible que se le pida a una per-sona confinada que se rehabilite y busquemaneras idóneas de reinserción en la sociedadsi lo primero que aprende en las cárceles essegregarse y pisotear los valores de ladiversidad, pluralidad y tolerancia?

Desde el primer momento que hacen su ingresoen las cárceles, los internos son separados deacuerdo a su etnicidad y color de la piel. Loslatinos son intencionalmente recluidos con gentede su propio grupo, lo mismo sucede con losafroamericanos y los anglosajones.

De acuerdo a los dirigentes carcelarios, lasegregación es una política positiva que evitapeleas y mantiene el orden dentro de losreclusorios estatales.

En corto plazo, está muy claro que esta políticade segregación arroja resultados positivos,especialmente para los administradores y losoficiales de las cárceles. Sin embargo, en el largoplazo, la segregación crea nuevas patologías,nuevos prejuicios e intencionalmente generaindividuos más destructivos.

Por consiguiente, con todo ese dinero que segasta en las cárceles es necesario crearverdaderos centros de rehabilitación. Uno de losprimeros pasos a seguir es abolir las políticas desegregación e implementar nuevos programasde rehabilitación y reinserción que preparen aestas personas a adaptarse a sociedades diversasy tolerantes como la nuestra.

El gobernador Brown puede incrementar elpresupuesto de las cárceles del estado, pero sino tiene una política de desegregación, suproyecto seguirá confundiéndose con aquellosprogramas del pasado que no hicieron más queaumentar los problemas en las cárceles delestado.

Los californianos merecemos verdaderoscentros de rehabilitación y no centros desegregación.

No segregación en las cárcles

todo lo posible para ayudarmea alcanzar mis metas”.

MiraCosta College quiereanimar a más niños y jóveneslatinos a elegir una carrera enla ciencia, tecnología, ingenieríay matemáticas (STEM), me-diante la Encuentros Educa-tion & STEM Career Explo-ration Conference, el sábado21 de febrero, en su campusde Oceanside.

“La Encuentros Education& STEM Career ExplorationConference es un evento deempoderamiento para todos losestudiantes latinos de se-cundaria y preparatoria que sonlos más jóvenes, y el segmentode más crecimiento de lapoblación en los Estados Uni-dos”, dijo la Dra. Sunita Cooke,presidenta / superintendente deMiraCosta College. “ParaMiraCosta College es un honorpoder acoger este evento cadaaño para ayudar a alentar yapoyar a estos jóvenes aalcanzar sus metas educativasy tener éxito en el mundo”.

Y cuando se trata de ca-rreras STEM, los niños yjóvenes latinos necesitan todala ayuda que puedan conseguir.Según el fundador y directorde operaciones de EncuentrosLeadership, Roberto Rivas, el53 por ciento de los niñoslatinos de California no terminala high school.

La conferencia forma partede los esfuerzos la organi-zación Encuentros Leadershippara cerrar la brecha educativaentre los niños latinos, dijo,especialmente cuando se tratade carreras STEM y la matrí-cula en universidades.

“Al abogar por el impactoactual de STEM, a los estu-diantes no solo se les da laoportunidad de aprender sobrelas tendencias y las futurascarreras de alta tecnología, sinoque se dan cuenta de cómo laeducación influye su futurodesde hoy”, dijo Rivas.

Desde 2004, más de 10,000estudiantes latinos del CondadoNorte han asistido a la con-ferencia Encuentros. Rivas dijoque ha tenido un enormeimpacto en la zona.

“Hemos recogido los datosde seguimiento de muchos denuestros primeros asistentes en2004 y hemos descubierto quemuchos han intentado y lo-grado sus títulos “, dijo. “Much-os de los niños que asistieron anuestras primeras conferen-cias han regresado comovoluntarios y han habladoelocuentemente en testimoniosde cómo Encuentros inspirósus metas educativas”.

Este año, Huizar hablará desu experiencia en la trans-ferencia de MiraCosta al MITen una charla titulada Fromcommunity college to MIT.Durante la conferencia los

estudiantes de secundaria y dehigh school tendrán la opor-tunidad de reunirse con pro-fesionales latinos y de empezara pensar en su futuro pro-fesional.

Huizar, el estudiante delMIT, dijo que todavía no puedecomprender del todo poderestar en una de las mejoresuniversidades para las mate-máticas y la tecnología.

“Todavía estoy tratando decreer esta increíble opor-tunidad que tengo”, dijo. “To-davía me siento abrumado porel ambiente acogedor y lasmuchas oportunidades en estagran institución. Todos los díasme despierto y me pregunto siestoy realmente aquí. Nopuedo esperar al día siguientepara aprender más de losincreíbles profesoras y pasartiempo con mis amigos apren-diendo y creciendo”.

No hay ningún costo paraasistir a la conferencia; sinembargo se sugiere pre-regis-tro. Los organizadores esperanalrededor de 200 estudiantesen el evento.

que su partido tiene mayoríaen las dos Cámaras delCongreso.

Interesantemente, nosolamente no quieredevolverle ni un centavo a losindocumentados, sino queademás quiere quitarle dineroa las compañías que violan laley. Junto con el tambiénsenador Republicano JackReed, acaba de presentaruna propuesta de ley que lesacaría un montón de lana auna serie de compañías,llamada Ley de Reforma yTransparencia en lasNegociaciones.

Sucede que las compañíasy corporaciones acusadas dealgo por el gobierno, porejemplo de robarle salarios asus trabajadores o poner susvidas en peligro o lo que sea,usualmente resuelven lasdemandas en negociacionesdirectas, antes de arriesgarseal veredicto de un juez. Losjueces únicamente apruebanla negociación, y entonces lascompañías ahorran dinero.Primero, se ahorran los

gastos legales, y segundo,pueden deducir de susimpuestos todo el dinero queno le tengan que pagardirectamente al gobierno. Loúnico que no pueden deducirson las multas del gobierno,pero usualmente no haymultas cuando hay arreglos.

Por ejemplo, una pizzeríaPapa John’s le tiene quepagar 800 mil dolares desalarios robados a sustrabajadores, pero ese dinerono va al gobierno sino a lostrabajadores, así que el dueñolos puede descontar de susimpuestos. La propuesta deReed y Grassley le quitaría alas compañías la posibilidadde descontar este tipo depagos de sus impuestos.

Otro ejemplo: Apple,Google, Intel y Adobeaceptaron pagar $415millones de dólares por haber“conspirado en secreto” paradividirse las contratacionesde trabajadores disponiblespara sus industrias ymantener sus salarios bajos.Los impuestos de $415millones serían considerables.

Curioso que losRepublicanos se lancencontra las empresas, pero afinal de cuentas todo es cosade lana.

Por éso no les gusta lo delas devoluciones y créditos deimpuestos a losindocumentados. Hastaahora, pagar impuestos conITIN es una ganancia netapara Estados Unidos. En2010, los indocumentados quedeclararon impuestospagaron unos 10 mil millonesde dólares al gobierno, sinrecibir a cambio ni serviciosni reembolsos.

Peor aún, sin el ITIN, perocon números inventados delSeguro Social, el dinero se ibaal Fondo en Suspensión delSeguro Social, que acumuló345 mil millones de dólares.

Por una vez, parece que losRepublicanos se estánportando parejos con losinmigrantes y con lascompañías. ¡Quierenfregarlos a todos!
