NAM Commentary
Instead of fl owers, this Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the women who keep families together by giving them pay equal to men’s.
Women had to work al-most four extra months to earn what men did in 2008. For full-time workers, women earn just $78 per week com-pared to $100 for all men. Th e diff erence is even greater for some women. African-Ameri-can women earn only $62.20 and Hispanic women earn just $53.40 for every $100 earned by white men, who are the top earners.
Whether we look at jobs dominated by women, such as secretarial work or home health care, or jobs requir-ing more education, such as lawyers, pharmacists, teachers and nurses, in a typical week a woman working full-time

❑ Acting under the legal limits not the same as writing the limits.
CHISUN LEE
ProPublica
Last month, we noted that while the Obama administration promised not to prosecute CIA interrogators who acted within the legal limits laid out by the now-re-leased “torture memos,” it made no such promise for the Justice Depart-ment lawyers behind the memos. In remarks to reporters today, Presi-dent Barack Obama re-iterated his promise and more clearly suggested that the lawyers who signed off could face le-gal consequences.
When the memos were released last week, the administration was silent about consequenc-es for the Offi ce of Legal Counsel offi cials who gave authoritative ad-vice to counterterrorism agencies in those years. Much of that advice was repudiated [2], in wan-ing months, by the Bush Offi ce of Legal Counsel itself as “not sustain-able,” “doubtful,” “not supported by convinc-ing reasoning,” “highly questionable,” “not satis-factory,” “unpersuasive” and/or simply “incor-rect.”
Today, the president reiterated that prosecu-tion “would not be ap-propriate” for interro-gators “who carried out some of these operations
❑ The outcome was predictable based on such events in Iran in the past.WILLIAM O. BEEMAN
NAM Commentary
Roxana Saberi, the 32-year-old Iranian-American journalist convicted of espionage in Iran has been released to her fam-ily, and will soon return to the United States.
While her international community of family, colleagues and friends can rejoice in her re-lease, it was predictable from the moment of her arrest, based on the history of such events in Iran in the past.
Although no one will know
for sure exactly how events pro-ceeded against her, it is possible to speculate how Saberi’s arraign-ment and trial developed.
Th e espionage charges against Saberi were utterly unfounded. Th ey were likely the result of an escalation within the Iranian ju-dicial system as offi cial after of-fi cial tried to cover their tracks for a series of abortive attempts to charge her with a crime.
She was fi rst detained for the relatively minor off ense of hav-ing purchased a bottle of wine. Since religious minorities in Iran are allowed to manufacture, sell and consume alcohol, the coun-
of espionage was lodged. As foolish and unsubstantiated as this charge was, it was plausible in Iran. Rumors that American CIA operatives were active in Iran were widely promulgated in Iran. Th ese suspicions were rein-forced through extensive docu-mentation found in New York Times reporter James Risen’s 2006 book “State of War.” Ad-ditionally, on April 4, the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz confi rmed an earlier rumor that an Iranian nuclear scientist had been assas-sinated by the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, inside Iran.
Iran experienced one hor-rendous situation involving a foreigner arrested for spying in Iran in 2003. Canadian-Iranian Zahra Kazemi was raped, beaten and tortured to death (although Iranian authorities claimed she

makes less than a man doing the same job. Of more than 500 diff erent occupations for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks earnings data, women’s median earnings are higher than men’s for doing the same job in fewer than fi ve.
And while some women
work in the highest paid pro-fessions, such as doctors, chief executives and computer and IT managers, overall the work-force remains sex segregated. Women, and especially women of color, are more likely to land the worst, lowest paying jobs, without health insurance,
paid sick days or paid family care leave.
In any discussion of the gen-der pay gap, the word “choice” is bound to pop up. Some say women “choose” jobs that pay less, “choose” to have children or to interrupt their careers to raise them, or “choose” to work part-time. Up close, such “choices” look much more like responses to barriers.
Childcare is expensive and women’s typically lower earn-ings compared with their hus-bands’ make it more rational for mothers to stay home and take care of their kids. Twice as many women as men do part-time work “voluntarily” (that is, not because of cuts in hours by employers such as is hap-pening in this economic down-turn). Because part-time work in well-paid jobs is scarce, a shift to reduced hours for fam-ily care reasons often involves working below one’s skills and
try is awash in liquor. It is easily obtainable by everyone—even government offi cials. Most like-ly the arresting offi cial did not know that Saberi was an Ameri-can passport holder born in the United States, and was probably chagrined to discover that this case was likely to create interna-tional brouhaha.
A more serious charge was then sought to justify the fi rst ar-rest. Th e discovery that her press credentials had expired some months earlier provided that op-portunity. Saberi had continued to fi le stories for a number of American news outlets, report-edly because offi cials assured her that the expiration of her press pass was inconsequential. Since she could demonstrate that Ira-nian offi cials had allowed her to continue writing, this charge would also not hold water.
Finally, the serious charge

died of a stroke) for allegedly having pho-tographed prohibited parts of Evin Pris-on, where she was later incarcerated. Her death caused an international uproar. Th e Iranian government, clearly badly burned by the Kazemi case has since been care-ful to make sure that her situation is not repeated.
Foreigners -- dual nationals -- ac-cused of espionage have been held for a time, usually in conspicuously humane circumstances, while the government wrings as much publicity out of the event as possible for a domestic and regional audience. Th e accused prisoners are then released in a show of clemency.
Th is was the case with Haleh Esfandi-ari, director of the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Ms. Efandiari was visiting her 90-year-old mother in 2006 when she was arrest-ed. It is likely that her connection to Lee Hamilton, director of the Wilson Center, made her an object of suspicion. Hamil-ton had long connections to the CIA and to groups promoting democratic revolu-tions in places like Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.
Kian Tajbakhsh was arrested at about the same time on the same charges. Taj-bakhsh worked for George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Soros had also been ac-tive in the same “revolutions” in the re-

educational achievement. And when a child is sick, without legal protection against being fi red for taking time off , mothers risk their jobs, and hence lose seniority when they must start over again at the bottom. Choice has pre-cious little to do with it.
In any case, none of these factors fully explain the pay gap. Th e case of Lilly Ledbetter, who for years was paid less than equally (and less) experienced male managers at Goodyear, shows that discrimination is still blatant. Th e gap is also caused because women’s work
MOTHER, DE LA PG. 1is undervalued. For example, a truck driver typically earns twice as much as a childcare worker. Truck driving is a responsible job that requires some spe-cialized learning. But so is caring for children.
Women’s earnings are crucial to their families, so the wage gap hurts the whole family. More than three-quarters of all children have mothers who work for pay. Almost one quarter of all moth-ers are the sole earners in their families.
Many observers have noted that more men than women are being laid off in this recession. Few have noted that women’s lower earning power is all that is holding up many families. Job
losses have been much worse in “male sectors” of the economy, such as con-struction and manufacturing than in the traditionally “female sectors,” such as healthcare or education. Families who relied on two paychecks now must make do with one that is often lower paid, without benefi ts.
Th is Mother’s Day, policymakers should vow to make sure that women’s work is valued and paid the same as men’s. Mothers, and all women, need stronger laws to challenge pay discrimi-nation and create employment protec-tions for parents. Th at says, “We love you, Mom” more than any bouquet of roses.
gion.Both Esfandiari and Tajbakhsh were
held under relatively humane circum-stances and released some months later.
Th e Iranian presidential election next month was also a likely reason for a quick dispensation of Saberi’s case. Iran would like the world to focus on the election, and not on an ongoing saga of an inter-national journalist in their prison system.
In the Saberi case, Iran actually did itself some good. It showed that it had a functioning judicial system—however imperfect—with an appeals process that eventually yielded the correct result.
Th e Obama administration, by engag-ing in diplomacy and sober statements of concern regarding Saberi, not only aided the process of her release, but likely set the stage for further improved relations between the United States and Iran. We now have a situation where Iran under-took an action of which the United States disapproved. Th e United States expressed itself in a non-hostile manner, and the Iranian government responded with a positive redress of that action. Th is bodes well for future U.S.-Iranian relations. It is only regrettable that this had to come at the price of Saberi’s unjust incarceration.

has lived and worked in Iran for more than 30 years. His most recent book is Th e “’Great Satan’ vs. the ‘Mad Mullahs’: How the Unit-ed States and Iran Demonize Each Other” (University of Chicago Press, 2008).

Utah Weekly News / Utah Semanl – 3MAY 8, 2009
❑ Asian countries had mobilized quickly, having learned from their battles with SARS and avian flu.
SANDIP ROY
NAM Commentary
One day before the Maoist-led coali-tion government fell in Nepal, the front page photo in The Himalayan Times, the leading English daily, was of three men wearing white masks. Nepal wasn’t sure if its fledgling democracy process was going to implode, but it was deter-mined to keep swine flu out.
As our aircraft touched down in Tribhuvan airport, we were surrounded by immigration officials in masks. The woman listlessly sweeping the empty arrivals hall was wearing a mask. Even the four guys sitting in the back of the currency exchange booth playing cards (and having zero contact with any-one getting off any airplane) had their masks on.
“Are you from America?” asked the immigration official. As I had flown across the Pacific from San Francisco to Kathmandu, I heard that question over
and over again. Are you from America? Have you been to America or Mexico in the last seven days?
Usually Americans get to ask that question. Have you been to a malarial country? Have you been to a yellow fever zone? America was where you went to get away from strange diseas-es borne by parasites and mosquitos. Sniffing dogs at the airport make sure we don’t bring in some illegal alien kari-leaf or mango that might punc-ture our bubble. Swine flu has reversed the equation. As we deplaned for the transit lounge in Seoul, Americans filled out questionnaires about coughs and runny noses (with a hefty fine if you lied).
Asian countries had all mobilized quickly, having learned from their bat-tles with SARS and avian flu. “Hong Kong has never taken down their ther-mal systems to monitor temperature,” says Yuen Ying Chan, director of media studies at the University of Hong Kong. “But it’s not just gadgets. People are just more prepared psychologically.”
No one complained about inconve-nience, even as the Chinese government quarantined hotel guests and work-ers. The Politburo called an emergency meeting and announced the discus-
If Pigs Could Fly: Traveling in the Time of Swine Flu
sion, an unprecedented step says Chan. “SARS taught them to respond faster,” says Chan.
Even low-tech Nepal thinks it’s ready for the swine flu. Face masks have always been popular because of the pol-lution in Kathmandu. Now they are even more popular. In Nepal’s touristy Darbar Square, people roamed around wearing masks, occasionally pulling them aside for a smoke break.
“We have really beautiful masks with embroidery and in different col-ors,” says Nepalese TV journalist Sau-rav Dhakal. No one is sure whether a hand-knitted mask can really keep out the swine flu virus but it’s really handy for your girlfriend to wear when she is riding pillion on your scooter through Kathmandu’s dusty streets. It looks el-egant, keeps out the dust “and is a good disguise,” says Dhakal. “People can’t tell who she is.”
More than panic, it’s theater abetted by 24/7 television images. From a pha-lanx of toilet cleaners scrubbing airport toilets with disinfectants to immigra-tion officials suddenly looking like they had stepped out of a hospital emergency room, it’s good drama.
Americans, on the other hand, aren’t used to their new role in the script. “It’s not like we flew in from Mexico,” one said to another as we queued up to get thermometers stuck in our ears in Seoul’s Inchon airport’s transit lounge. But the sign made it clear – Both Mex-
ico and the United States were regarded as swine flu zones. Even as the United States tries to erect border fences to sep-arate the two, the swine flu has been a reminder that we aren’t that separate at all. In the rest of the world’s eyes, we are one landmass. In a sense, in the eyes of the men and women in green hospital masks in airports around the world, we are all Mexicans now.
In the end we were all allowed in to Nepal with stern warnings to report to Tribhuvan hospital at the first sign of a cold. I was relieved, although I still wasn’t sure if I could sneeze safely.
It’s not unlike how you’d feel when relatives and friends finally procured that American visa and cleared immigra-tion and showed up in the arrivals area in New York or San Francisco, pushing their luggage cart, red-eyed and bleary, squinting at all the faces, trying to find yours. That sense of relief that they had made it through, that some dour visa officer hadn’t just stopped them in their tracks, was palpable.
But maybe there’s a silver lining, even to pandemics.
As you land in Seoul, New Delhi or Kathmandu, and the signs around you herald your arrival from the land of pandemic flu, you could also read it as saying, “Americans, Welcome to the Rest of the World –- your era of splen-did isolation is over.”
I thought that would never happen. At least not until pigs could fly.

When an all-white jury decided that the fatal beating of Luis Ramirez was only worth a misdemeanor conviction, they sent a clear and chilling message to all Hispanics in this country. The life of a Latino immigrant has no weight on the balance of justice.
The facts are these: Six white football players beat and kicked Luis Ramírez. His skull was fractured in two spots. He was left convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Last week, a Pennsylvania jury found two youths involved in the beat-ing guilty of simple assault. (One of the defendants, Derrick Donchak, added insult to injury by wearing a U.S. Bor-der Patrol t-shirt to a Halloween party after Ramirez died.)
The outcome has triggered ques-tions about the earnestness with which this case was prosecuted and, yet again, whether the judicial system can act fairly when the victim is a Latino im-migrant.
One only has to look at the slew of
comments online to get a snapshot of the anti-immigrant hate that has sur-rounded this case. The ugly postings blame Ramirez for his own death at the hands and feet of the white gang: had he not been here illegally, they say, he would not have triggered the beating that led to his death.
Others want to cast the stomping of Ramirez, as he lay on the ground, as a street fight that went bad – a Rodney King defense.
During the preliminary hearing, a retired police officer testified that she heard the defendants yell racial slurs. Yet the jury acquitted them of ethnic intimidation.
“The first thing that got me out of my room was the “f ” word the “Spic” word, you know what I mean?” Eileen Burke, a witness, told WNEP. But Burke was not called to the stand. She also said that the pros-ecution did not convey what she saw and heard. Why?
We urge the Department of Justice to take action and let Hispanics know that their lives count, that there are real consequences to the hatemongers who would assault us.

Only God is dependable, but even so, we don’t always have the evidence we would like. So we have to trust him. As Job said, even though he kills me, I will trust him (Job 13:15). Only he offers the hope of eternal life. Only he offers a hope that life makes any sense or has any purpose.
Part of growthBut still, we sometimes
wrestle with doubts. That is simply part of the process of growing in faith, of learning to trust God with yet more of life. We face the choices set be-fore us and once again choose God as the best choice.
As Blaise Pascal said cen-turies ago, if we believe for no other reason, then at least we ought to believe because God is the best bet. If we follow him and he does not exist, then we have lost nothing. But if we do not follow him and he does exist, we have lost everything. So we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by believing in God, by living and thinking that he is the surest reality in the universe.
This does not mean that we will understand everything. No, we will never understand everything. Faith means trust-ing in God even though we do not always understand. We can worship him even when we have doubts (Mat-thew 28:17). Salvation is not an intelligence contest. The faith that saves does not come from philosophical arguments that answer every doubt. Faith comes from God. If we rely on having answers to every ques-tion, we are not relying on God.
The only reason we can be in God’s kingdom is by grace, through faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. If we rely on our obedience, or anything else that we do, then we are relying on the wrong thing, an unreli-able thing. We need to re-form our faith (allowing God to re-form our faith) into Christ, and him alone. Works, even good works, cannot be the basis of our salvation. Obedi-ence, even to the commands of Jesus, cannot be our source of assurance. Only Christ is trustworthy.
As we grow in spiritual ma-turity, we often become more aware of our own sins, and our own sinfulness. We realize how far we are from Christ, and this can lead us to doubts, too, that God would really send his Son to die for people as perverse as we are.
The doubt, no matter how real, should lead us back to greater faith in Christ, for only in him do we have

(NAPSI)-Every day, an estimated 850 children are caught up in America’s court and child welfare maze because they are unable to live safely at home. Suddenly, into these children’s lives come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, therapists, social work-ers, judges, lawyers and more. Hopefully, one of these strangers is a Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer.
The National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association is a nonprofit organization that recruits volunteers who are appointed by judges to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in family court.
Judges, attorneys, child welfare workers and parents over-whelmingly report that volunteers make a difference with the children they serve. Children who are paired with CASA advo-cates are half as likely to remain in long-term care--defined as more than three years in care.
CASA is the only program in which everyday citizens are ap-pointed by judges to speak up for a child’s safety and well-being. These volunteers come from all walks of life, and people from all cultures, professions, and ethnic and educational backgrounds are welcome. Roughly half of CASA volunteers work full-time.
Foster Care AwarenessDuring National Foster Care Awareness Month this May, or
at any time of year, it is essential to give attention to America’s forgotten children--and seek out dedicated individuals to become CASA volunteer advocates.
CASA volunteers spend most of their volunteer time in con-tact with a child. They generally handle just one or two cases at a time so that they can give each child’s case the sustained, personal attention that he or she deserves. To a child, that means a consis-tent and caring adult presence in his or her life.
Positive OutcomesA major factor in avoiding bad outcomes for an abused child
is the presence of a concerned adult in that child’s life. As a result of CASA volunteers’ help, these children receive the care and ser-

vices they need, and are placed into safe, permanent and nur-turing homes.
In addition, CASA advo-cacy saves taxpayer dollars. If the median length of stay were shortened for children in fos-ter care by just one month, it would realize a national savings to taxpayers of approximately $2.75 billion.

El departamento de policía debe hacer un esfuer-zo razonable para determi-nar la situación migratoria de una persona acusada de cometer un delito grave o un delito por manejar bajo la infl uencia del alcohol. Si en 48 horas, a partir de la detención, no se ha lle-gado a una determinación, el departamento de policía deberá ponerse en contacto con el DHS-ICE (Inmi-
Victimas Enfrentan
Deportación❑ Indocumenta-dos que testifi c-aron en contra de mujer acusa-da de fraude de inmigrantes seran deportados.
Richard Lemos fue a las autoridades para denun-ciar un delito creyendo que estaba haciendo la cosa re-sponsable. A cambio de sus esfuerzos, se le dio una or-den de deportación.
Lemos, originario del Uruguay, es uno de 28 in-migrantes indocumentados de Utah, que están siendo deportados después de que testifi caron en contra de una mujer que supuestamente les defraudo miles de dólares a gente desesperada por en-contrar una forma legal para permanecer en el país.
Leticia Ávila utilizaba conexiones de su Iglesia Mormona y les ofrecia la promesa de cooperación de un alto funcionario de in-migración. Les pedia 4.000 dólares a cada uno de los inmigrantes indocumenta-dos que intentaban obtener visas legales, de acuerdo con más de dos docenas de declaraciones juradas de las víctimas.
A la hora que Lemos y otros fi rmaron las declara-ciones juradas, dicen que un funcionario de inmigración les ofreció visas de trabajo a cambio de su testimonio. Lemos incluso participó en una llamada telefónica grabada y supervisada por funcionarios de Inmigración y Aduanas. Las visas de tra-bajo, pero nunca llegaron. En cambio, cuatro años después de que ellos y otros coop-eraron con la investigación penal, Lemos, y su esposa, Nancy Hernández, agentes de ICE se presentaron a su puerta y los arrestaron. Los agentes dijeron que el caso contra Ávila se vino abajo por falta de pruebas y ya no los necesitavan. Por lo tanto se les deportaria.
Es un clásico ejemplo,

gración) para obtener mayor información. Esto incluye una sospecha de que el inmigrante indocumentado puede huir al otorgarle libertad bajo fi anza.
¿QUE SIGNIFICA ESTO?Si usted es acusado de
cometer un delito grave o de manejar bajo la infl uencia del alcohol en Utah, su situación migratoria será revisada por el Departamento de Policía. Si no tiene consigo prueba de su situación migratoria, entonces llamarán al Departamento de
Seguridad de la Nación (De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity– DHS) y al Departamento de Inmigración (ICE). Si usted ha cometido un delito grave y no tiene prueba de su situación migratoria, puede ser detenido por inmigración (ICE). Si in-migración (ICE) lo ha deteni-do y averigua que ha sido
acusado de un delito grave, no se le permitirá salir de la cár-cel, aún pagando una fi anza.
Si usted no ha sido acusado de un delito grave, es posible
que tenga derecho a fi anza. Sin embargo, para tener derecho a una fi anza, usted deberá demostrarle a la corte que usted no presenta riesgo de fugarse, comprobando lazos en su comunidad (fa-milia, amigos, trabajo,) y que tiene toda la intención de comparecer ante el juez para responder al delito del que a sido acusado.

❑ Entre las vícti-mas hubo salva-doreños que viaja-ban con destino a EE.UU.CORTESIA EL DIARIO DE HOY
La Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos (CNDH) de México denunció que en dos op-erativos donde fueron capturados 223 indocumentados centroamer-icanos hubo abusos cometidos por personal de la Marina y del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) en Oaxaca, sur del país.
Entre los inmigrantes agredi-dos habían 20 salvadoreños. La suerte de los connacionales no fue conocida luego del hecho.
“Con la pretensión de encu-brir los excesos, ambas autoridades emitieron informes médicos y de hechos defi cientes y subjetivos”, detalló la CNDH en un comuni-cado emitido el domingo.Abuso de fuerza
El operativo de los militares
Comisión Pide la investigacion de Paliza Contra Migrantes
se desarrolló en la comunidad Las Palmas, en Niltepec, Oaxaca, donde los inmigrantes fueron sometidos a palos y golpes por agentes de Migración y de la Fuer-za Armada de México.
Este organismo público y de-scentralizado con funciones de Defensoría del Pueblo denunció, además, que personal de la Ma-rina vulneró también el derecho a la libertad de expresión en uno de los casos, al agredir a un reportero
gráfi co que cubría los hechos el 31 de marzo del pasado año.
Al periodista, originario de Michoacán y residente en Mine-sota, Estados Unidos, se le detuvo, fue amenazado de muerte, trasla-dado a la estación migratoria de Tapanatepec y denunciado por “pollero” (trafi cante de personas) antes de ser liberado.
A fi nes de febrero de ese año un indocumentado que sufrió los abusos denunció que el 28
de febrero había tenido que saltar de un tren para evitar ser captu-rado por las autoridades mexica-nas en el poblado oaxaqueño de Palmas, detalla el comunicado de la Comisión de Derechos Huma-nos.
Posteriormente, el reportero también hizo públicos los hechos, lo que motivó la investigación de la CNDH y el anuncio este do-mingo de la presentación de send-as recomendaciones a la Secretaría (ministerio) de Marina y al INM, para que corrijan sus prácticas.
Pese a su carácter no vincu-lante las recomendaciones son la acción más decisiva que puede realizar la CNDH en los casos de violaciones a los derechos huma-nos en México.
Aunque la Marina abrió un proceso por los presuntos abusos, reconoció que hubo “uso excesivo de la fuerza” y sancionó “a dos te-nientes, un primer maestre y un cabo”, la CNDH demandó hoy una investigación mayor y depu-rar las irregularidades administra-
Los inmigrantes centroamericanos fueron vapuleados por soldados mexicanos el 31 de marzo del año pasado. Las imágenes fueron captadas y difundidas ampliamente, lo que dio pauta para que el caso fuera denunciado e investigado.

“With respect to those who for-mulated those legal decisions, I would say that that is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general,” he said. If there is going to be “a further accounting,” Congress might consider a bipartisan or independent commis-sion, he suggested.

también pueden expedir identificacio-nes (I.D) oficiales.
Las identificaciones (I.D) sólo serán otorgadas a Ciudadanos y Residentes Legales Permanentes. Las personas que no son ciudadanas o residentes perma-nentes podrían recibir la identificación, al comprobar su situación migratoria regular o que su proceso de regular-ización migratoria está pendiente. Sin embargo, las identificaciones estarán vigentes sólo por el tiempo
que el/la inmigrante esté autorizado para permanecer en los Estados Unidos (o por un año). La identificación de-berá indicar que es temporal, incluyen-do fecha de expiración. Para renovar la identificación deberá presentar la docu-mentación de el DHS (Departamento de Seguridad de la Nación).
Las instituciones educativas pueden otorgar identificaciones a individuos indocumentados si la identificación muestra claramente que solamente es válida en los límites de la institución educativa. Las licencias de privilegio de manejo no serán afectadas.
¿QUE SIGNIFICA ESTO?A partir del 1 de Julio, 2010. Las
identificaciones expedidas por institu-ciones que no sean del gobierno o de instituciones educativas, no serán váli-das para establecer su identidad (como las identificaciones de los bancos). Sola-mente las identificaciones del gobierno y de las instituciones educativas serán aceptadas. Las identificaciones otorga-das a inmigrantes tendrán que renovarse regularmente al presentar la documen-tación apropiada de inmigración. Las licencias de privilegio de conducir sólo son válidas para manejar y no como identificación (esto no
representa ningún cambio en la ley existente)
>> USO DEL SISTEMA DE VER-IFICACION DE SITUACION MI-
GRATORIA (E-VERIFY)Los empleadores, así como sus
contratistas, deben utilizar el Sistema de Verificación de Estado Legal (SVS) para comprobar la situación migratoria de toda persona empleada o contratada a partir del 1 de julio de 2009. Los em-pleadores públicos no pueden despedir a un ciudadano o Residente Legal Per-manente de Estados Unidos para rem-plazarlo, con conocimiento o sabiendo, que se trata de un trabajador indocu-mentado. Si el empleador está inscrito en el sistema SVS y lo utiliza, no será demandado ni será investigado por vio-lar esta ley.
¿QUE SIGNIFICA ESTO?Los nuevos empleados que obtengan
trabajo en alguna institución pública, de gobierno o contratados por dichas instituciones, estarán expuestos a la re-visión, por medio del sistema SVS, de su situación migratoria, así como de su elegibilidad para trabajar. El estado le-gal de los nuevos empleados será revisa-do después de haber sido contratados. Tambien los ciudadanos serán objeto de esta revisión. Si usted comenzó a traba-jar para alguna institución pública, de gobierno o fue contratado antes del 1 de julio de 2009, el empleador no está obligado a verificar su situación migra-toria a través del sistema SVS.
El sistema de verificación (E-verify) tiene sus fallas y podría mostrar incor-rectamente que un ciudadano o Resi-dente Legal Permanente no puede tra-bajar. Estos errores deben ser corregidos por el empleado en un periodo de 10 días, de lo contrario, el empleador re-cibirá una carta (“No Match”). La carta (“No Match”) no requiere que el em-pleador notifique a inmigración (ICE) acerca de la situación migratoria del empleado.

tivas que hubo.Por su parte, el INM, que al ser inves-
tigado sostuvo que “no visualizó ningún hecho de violencia o agresión hacia las per-sonas indocumentadas” en un primer mo-mento, deberá investigar más a los funcio-narios que supervisaron el operativo, según la CNDH.
“Las contusiones presentadas por las víctimas no fueron descritas ni certifi cadas de manera adecuada por los médicos de las estaciones migratorias del INM”, indica el organismo.
La misma iglesia católica de Oaxaca se pronunció en contra de las agresiones que sufrieron los inmigrantes y pidió que el caso fuera investigado.

de crisis; ayuda temporal en albergues, así como ayuda de corto plazo para protección de la vida y seguridad. Los individuos que falsifi quen solicitudes recibirán cargos criminales.
¿QUE SIGNIFICA ESTO?Esta ley no representa ningún cam-
bio respecto de la ley actualmente en vigor en Utah. No debería tener im-pacto alguno para aquellos que ya re-ciben benefi cios públicos o aquellos que busquen de estos.
>> UNIDAD DE IDENTIFI-CACION DE DOCUMENTOS FRAUDULENTOS
El Fiscal General de la Ofi cina del Estado creará una Unidad de Investig-ación de Documentos Fraudulentos para investigar, arrestar y procesar a quienes participen en la venta o distri-bución de documentos fraudulentos.
¿QUE SIGNIFICA ESTO?Las personas que compren o vendan
documentos falsos corren mayor riesgo de ser aprendidas y recibir cargos. Más latinos e hispanos (incluyendo aquellos que están aquí legalmente) podrían ser
detenidos o interrogados. Usted debe re-portar cualquier acoso o acto de racismo.
>> ACUERDOS DE ENTEN-DIMIENTO (“MOU”)
El Fiscal General negociará acuer-dos (MOU) con Inmigración (DHS) para permitir que la policía local y es-tatal aplique las leyes migratorias. Los gobiernos locales no pueden emitir leyes que limiten o prohíban que las instituciones del gobierno cooperen o transmitan información a Inmigración (DHS), sobre inmigrantes indocumen-tados,. Los ciudadanos y Residentes
Legales Permanentes pueden escri-bir un mandato judicial (writ) para ob-ligar a las instituciones
a que cumplan con esta ley.
¿QUE SIGNIFICARA ESTO?Actualmente las prisiones de Utah
cuentan con presencia de policías (sheriff ) que han sido entrenados por Inmigración (ICE) para determinar la situación migratoria de nuevos presos. Los nuevos acuerdos incrementarán el número de fuerzas policíacas y depar-tamentos de policía, bajo la supervisión de la Ofi cina del Fiscal General.
La confi anza del público hacia la policía podría disminuir debido a la rel-ación con ICE y DHS (Inmigración) o la percepción de ésta relacion. Más la-tinos e hispanos (incluyendo aquellos que están aquí legalmente) podrían ser detenidos o interrogados. Usted debe reportar cualquier acoso o acto de rac-ismo.
>> TRANSPORTE O ALBERGUE DE “ILEGALES”
Es un delito de categoría A (“Class A Misdemeanor”) el transportar o al-bergar a personas indocumentadas con objetivos comerciales o de lucro, sabi-endo o haciendo caso omiso sobre la situación migratoria indocumentada de la persona. Esta ley excluye a las institu-ciones públicas, de caridad y a servicios religiosos gratuitos.
¿QUE SIGNIFICARA ESTO?Aún cuando la intención es castigar
a los trafi cantes de personas y emplead-ores sin escrúpulos, no está claro si estas regulaciones afectarán a los dueños que rentan o alquilan viviendas a personas indocumentadas.

• Evite cualquier ne-
gocio que promete
salvar su casa si hace
los pagos hipotecarios
directamente a ellos y
no a su prestamista.
(NAPSM)-La posibilidad de perder su casa en una ejecución hipotecaria puede resultar aterra-dora. La realidad, estafadores que están aprovechándose de la vulner-abilidad de los dueños de vivienda desesperados, es igualmente ater-radora. Muchas de las supuestas compañías de rescate de ejecución hipotecaria o fi rmas de asistencia para ejecuciones afi rman que pu-eden ayudarle a salvar su casa. Al-gunas de estas compañías son tan descaradas que hasta ofrecen una garantía de devolución de dinero. Lamentablemente, cuando estos estafadores se quedan con su dine-ro lo dejan sin recursos sin hacer lo que le dijeron que harían.
Usted puede ahorrarse dinero y más disgustos evitando a los nego-cios que hacen o dicen lo siguien-te:
• Le garantizan detener el pro-ceso de ejecución sin consideración de sus circunstancias particulares.
• Le dicen que no se comuni-que con su entidad de préstamo, abogado o asesor de crédito o de vivienda.
• Le cobran un cargo antes de prestarle el servicio.
• Únicamente aceptan pagos efectuados con cheques de caja o transferencia de fondos.
• Le alientan a alquilar su casa para comprarla nuevamente con el transcurso del tiempo.
• Le dicen que les pague di-rectamente a ellos las cuotas de su hipoteca en lugar de pagárselas a su entidad de préstamo.
• Le aconsejan que transfi era la escritura o título de propiedad de su vivienda a nombre del negocio.
