>Grie Pioniet-bno

El prximo 15 de septiembre iniciamos la celebracin del mes de la cultura hispana en los Estados Unidos.

Cientos de aos, cientos de aportes, miles de personas que han contribuido a enriquecer la vida y la cultura

en cada uno de los estados de la unin americana.

Como aperitivo, por primera vez en la historia, un hispano fue el orador de orden en una convencin del par-tido demcrata esta semana. Independientemente del mensaje que el joven alcalde de San Antonio, Texas

haya compartido con sus co-religionarios y los americanos todos, lo que ms me llam la atencin fue su

juventud y el hecho de estar acompaado por su hermano gemelo que se ha presentado como candidato al

congreso por el mismo estado.

Digo que me llama la atencin porque estas nuevas estrellas en el espacio poltico estadounidense llevan el

mismo apellido que la gura ms odiada por las ltimas 5 dcadas de la poltica suramericana: Fidel Castro.

Y de ninguna forma el apellido le ha parado para incrementar su peso poltico, as como ya se anuncia un

aumento del 4 % de votantes hispanos en las prximas elecciones.

As como es cierto que llevar un apellido no desacredita a nadie, tambin es cierto que el ser hispano no hace

mejor ni pero a nadie, al tiempo que ser hispano no implica que el candidato

represente a los hispanos en general.

Es mas, me parece un tanto peligroso que un candidato se valga del hecho de ser hispano para ocultar

su falta de propuestas y plataforma poltica cuando lo que realmente importa es saber qu piensa hacer el

candidato para mejorar la forma de vida de sus electores o defender sus derechos y lograr sus aspiraciones.Sugiero que veamos con lupa el pasado de quienes nos proponen una opcin de voto, recordando que

muchos empleos diferentes con poca permanencia en ellos, solo denota una gran inestabilidad y sobre todo

una enorme ineciencia delatora.

Mucho recuerdo una ancdota que sucedi aos atrs en el colegio de

mis hijos. Un hispano se dedicaba a vender drogas y alguien coment que eso no importaba porque haba

que apoyarle por ser hispano como nosotros. En ese mismo instante dije claramente, yo soy hispano pero no

vendedor de drogas y eso s no lo acepto yo de nadie, no hay caso de defensa ni lo habr.

Volviendo a la celebracin de nuestra cultura, lamentamos comunicar que este ao no podr haber festival

hispano porque aunque se hicieron esfuerzos enromes, no se consigui el apoyo nanciero necesario para

llevarlo a cabo. Pero tendremos nuestro desle y muchas celebraciones en colegios y centros comunitarios,

por nuestra parte dedicaremos nuestras pginas a celebrar nuestra historia y nuestra gente.

On September 15th we begin the celebration of the month of the Hispanic culture in the United States.Hundreds of years, hundreds of contributions, thousands of people who have helped to enrich the life and

culture in each one of the states of the American Union.

As an appetizer, for the rst time in history, a Hispanic was the keynote speaker at a convention of the

Democratic Party this week. Regardless of the message the young mayor of San Antonio, Texas have

shared with his co-religionists and Americans all, what caught my attention was his youth and the fact of

being accompanied by his twin brother, who has presented himself as a candidate

to Congress by the same state.

It strikes me because these new stars in the American political arena bear the same surname as the most

hated gure for the last 5 decades of South American politics: Fidel Castro. And by no means his last name

has prevented him from increasing his political weight; and at the same token it has already been an-

nounced an increase of 4% of Hispanic voters in the next election.

While it is true that carrying a surname does not discredit anyone, it is also true that being Hispanic does

not make anyone better or worse, and also being Hispanic does not imply that the candidate is representing

Hispanics in general.

Whats more, it seems a little dangerous for a candidate to take advantage of him being Hispanic to hide his

lack of political platform and proposals when what really matters is knowing what the candidate intends to do

to improve the way of life of his constituents or defend their rights and achieve their aspirations.

I suggest we look closely at the past of whom are proposing us a voting option, remembering that many dif-

ferent jobs with little permanence only indicates considerable instability and especially

a huge accusing inefciency.

I remember an anecdote that happened years ago at my childrens school. A Hispanic was selling drugs and

someone said it did not matter because we had to support him for being Hispanic like us. At that moment

I made it clear, Im Hispanic but not drug dealer, and that is something that I will not tolerate from anyone,

there is no defense case and there will not be.

Returning to the celebration of our culture, we regret to announce that this year there will be no Hispanic

festival because although enormous efforts were made, the necessary nancial support to carry it out was

not achieved. But we will have our parade and many celebrations in schools and community centers, and as

for us, we will devote our pages to celebrate our history and our people.

Requirements forDeferred ActionIt makes no sense to expel talented young people, who, for all intents and pur-

poses, are Americans.-Barack Obama

What is Deferred Action?

Deferred Action is a new policy which has been designed by the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) in order to allow certain people, who did not intentionally infringe the immigration laws,continue to live and work in the United States.This means that children that entered illegally and that have grown up in the United States did nothave the intention of violating immigration laws. Given that they are not responsible for what hap-pened when they were young, it is illogical for them to receive sanctions. DHS has determined that

it is unnecessary to deport eligible immigrants if they meet certain criteria.To receive this benet, you must submit a request for Deferred Action together with an applicationfor employment authorization. If this is approved, you may work in the United States legally.Due to the complexity of the immigration law and the unprecedented amount of requests, it is likelythat the forms be closely inspected by the USCIS, which stresses the importance of working withpeople who are familiar with what, for many, is a very complicated six-page form. Any errors in theapplication, including the inadequacy of information, could extend the waiting period. In addition, ifan applicant fails to respond properly to an order of the USCIS for more information, he/she couldbe denied the benet.Ofcials from the USCIS that review requests will be under minimal supervision, another reasonwhy each case should be prepared in a clear and meticulous manner. Once denied, Deferred Ac-tion for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) requests may not be appealed.

Who is eligible for the Deferred Action?

To be eligible for Deferred Action, you should:

Have come to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;Have resided in the United States for a minimum period of ve years as of June 15th, 2012 (shorttrips outside the United States for humanitarian reasons do not affect this requirement);Be 15 years old or older when presenting the application;Not be older than 30 years of age;Have graduated from high school or equivalent, be enrolled in school or be a veteran of the armyof the United States;Undergo a background check and have a clean record for serious crimes, misdemeanors (exceptone or two non-signicant minor offenses) or any other evidence of you posing a threat to thecountry.

What are the documents required to apply for Deferred Action?

When requesting Deferred Action, you must provide documentation proving that you qualify.

To prove that you entered the United States before age 16, have resided in the country for at leastve years and were in the country as of June 15th, 2012, you will need:

Financial Records,Medical Records,School Records,Employment Records orMilitary Records.

To prove you attend school, have graduated, are serving in the army or are an honorably dis-charged veteran, you will need:Diploma,General Educational Development (GED) diploma,Transcripts,High School Diploma or Certicate of Completion,Military Report of Separation,Military Personnel Records,Military Health Records.

[ cartas al editor / letters to the editor ]ObAMA AND ROMNey NeeD tO Get ReAl ONJObS POlicyIts a testament to how bad the American employment market has gotten that themost recent jobs report was met with applause.The Labor Departments July jobs gures showed that employers added 163,000new workers last month. That exceeds what most forecasters were predicting. Butits only barely enough to keep up with population growth. And the overall unemploy-ment rate actually increased slightly, to about 8.3 percent.Jobs have been and will continue to be the most important issue to voters come

November. A new Gallup/USA TODAY poll nds that 92 percent of likely voters ratecreating good jobs as either a very important or extremely important priorityfor the next president. That was a full ve points ahead of the second most popularissue (reducing corruption in government).The issue has bipartisan salience. Unlike healthcare reform or tax cuts, creatinggood jobs is a high priority for Democrats and Republicans alike, with 48 percent ofeach ranking it as extremely important.

And yet neither Obama nor Romney has provided anything remotely resembling arobust, detailed policy package for spurring job grow and getting the employmentmarket back on track.Sure, Romney has his 59-Point economic plan. But he hasnt done much to marketit. No one has read it. And while the plan itself does contain some sensible policyreforms - cutting corporate tax rates and expanding domestic energy production, forexample - it mostly just nibbles around the edges.The President did actually present jobs legislation to Congress. But while it includedsome smart reforms, it was too limited. And it went nowhere.

A smart, specic set of pro-jobs policies now could win the presidency.Here are the two Id start with. Theyre palatable to the base of both parties andwould generate widespread public support.First, prioritize and pass pending trade deals. Scaling back trade barriers makes

it easier for foreign countries to buy American-made products, boosting domesticbusinesses and stirring job growth. US rms get access to cheaper foreign goods,leaving more money to invest in their domestic operations and grow their work-forces.The Trans-Pacic Partnership Agreement (TPP) between the US and key Asia-Pa-cic economies is undergoing its next round of negotiations in a few weeks in Lees-burg, Virginia. This is the kind of agreement the candidates should be promoting.

Among other things, the TPP establishes strong, universal patent protections forinnovative industries like technology and pharmaceuticals. Reaching agreement onTPP would incentivize the next generation of breakthrough ideas - and all the new

jobs that come with them.Same goes for the African Growth and Opportunity Act, a free trade bill between ourtwo continents that just passed the Senate and House.Second, a pro-jobs move for Romney or Obama would be to stand rmly againstblind, across-the-board cuts in Medicare and other public insurance programs.Lately, this kind of reform has become distressingly popular. Instead of doing thehard work of identifying and eliminating the parts of these programs that are genu-inely wasteful, policymakers are just pushing for huge, brainless cuts.Obamas health bill creates a new Medicare advisory board that will soon startbringing down program expenses with massive cuts in physician reimbursements

completely insensitive to the quality of care provided. Similarly, Congress is consid-

ering brute-force cuts in Part B and Part D.These plans arent just dangerous to patient health - theyre dangerous to jobgrowth. For many hospitals and doctors ofces, public insurance is an importantsource of revenue. If payments from these programs dry up, providers could beforced to scale back or even close operations, laying off nurses, physician assis-tants, technicians, and others in the process.Theres a lot of work to be done in Washington to make American workers wholeafter years of job stagnation. No more sloganeering and vague promises. Obamaand Romney need to start getting specic.

Means for 2012 and Beyond (Rowman and Littleeld).

RePUblicAN cONVeNtiON

Ann Romney during the Republican Convention You are the best of American...Wow... Only the republicans are the best of USA???Oh, yes she try to connect with single mothers.. (Not very good at it). No connec-tion, no motivation. We have a real marriage, she said... What does that mean?.She later said: No one care more? (referring to Romney) Really?? Care aboutwho? Attack in Romney success? He has more negative advertisement aboutPresident Obama than what he promise he can do for the country. By the way theConvention looks more like Romney than the average America. Is the convention

representative in how his government cabinet is going to look like? God save us.Governor Chris ChristieI havent always agree with him but his passion is admirable and I respect him forit. The man can deliver a great speech. Our leaders should work togetherI agree with him and I agree that he has done a great bipartisan job in New Jerseybut our current Congress has forget to negotiate anymore so it took 2 years to ap-prove 1 bill in Health Care Reform and another to conrm it (which by the way is asimilar bill that Romney proudly create, sponsor and sign in his state when he wasgovernor) Mr. Christie talk about bipartisan work is his state, however, he wentback to say that Republicans are the ones who hold the truth... He came back tobe and repeat the same speech that Republicans have been saying all night long(I guess he has to) Reach compromise? Sure, in your state not in Congress wherethe majority is Republicans and they have made every effort to block every singlepiece of legislation that has come from President Obama. People will think that Iam totally bias. Maybe, because I do believe in Social Responsibility (that is why Ido what I do every day working with people who work hard but are poor) but whatI have stated it is not far from the truth and those are facts. It is not a good feelingwhen your best choice is the best between two bad choices. Will see. God protectand guide this great Nation!

camos n ursoEn mis cincuenta aos de existencia, hay una cosa que s con certeza y es que la vida es constanteen cuanto a los cambios en curso. Esperemos que los cambios vividos sean para bien y para elaprendizaje y el crecimiento que tenemos que hacer para vivir una vida a plenitud para ver converti-dos en realidad nuestras metas y sueos.

Ayer por la noche, despus de ver y escuchar el discurso de orden televisado de Julin Castro,Alcalde de la Ciudad de San Antonio, Texas, en la Convencin Nacional Demcrata en Charlotte,Carolina del Norte, sent mucho orgullo por lo que l representaba. He aqu un joven de treintay tantos aos de edad, hombre profesional, exitoso latino que comparti su historia deretos y sueos. Una historia que es tan familiar para m en ms de una manera.

Ongong changsIn my fty years of existence, there is one thing I know for sure and that is that life is constant ofongoing changes. Hopefully, the changes lived are for the better and for the learning and growth we

need to make in order to live a life at plenitude in orderto make and see a reality our goals and dreams.

Last night, after watching and listening the televised keynote address of Julian Castro, Mayor of theCity of San Antonio, TX, at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC; I felt

much pride for what he represented. Here is a young thirty-something year oldprofessional, successful Latino man that shared his story of challenges and

dreams. A story that is so familiar to me in many ways than one. His storyrepresented the stories of successes of many of my Latinos friends. Hespoke about his grandmother and his mother and all the struggles theyendured in order to reach goals and dreams that were set on course by

his mother and grandmother many years before him.

Then, it was Michelle Obamas turn to address the audience, and I haveto say, this woman has so much charisma. With her heart felt words, she

was able to engage her audience in a way that was relatable by many. Shetoo shared her story. A story lled with hopes, dreams and goals that were

also made by her parents many years before her. The common theme on thosetwo speeches was that their parents wanted a better life for their children. A life with

greater opportunities and that is why this country attracts so many, because it is the countryof endless possibilities. The First Lady also spoke lovingly about her husband, our President and

these words stayed with me when she spoke about him Being president does not change who youare, it reveals who you are, loved it! How many people do you truly know that their lives work pas-sion truly reveals the essence of the person they are meant to be? I found that for me, my role as a

mother revealed who I was in a way I never saw myself to be. That is why I can truly understand andappreciate her words. I am still on the fence as to how should I vote this year, because I believe thatnot voting is not the answer and changes in general can take time, sacrice and patience. There are

a couple of months left before Election Day; hopefully I can make up my mind. It is very interesting tosee how there is so much focus towards the Women and the Latino vote. After all, I am guessing that

they have nally realized that we have become a power of our own.

leFtiSt, RADicAl teXAS KeyNOte SPeecH?By Raoul Lowery Contreras

Israel-hating Democrat Convention goers outshouted pro-Israeli colleagues, when-out-of-the-blue Platform amendments were offered (At President Obamas personal request)Wednesday afternoon to amend the ofcial Party Platform.

One reinserted the word GOD that had been dropped from the platform despite pres-ence in past platforms. The other was recognizing Jerusalem as Israels capitol that tradition-ally has been in party platforms but was dropped from this one.

Two embarrassments hit the convention this day: One, Israel-hating and God-hatingdelegates clearly defeated by voice vote the platform amendments to recognize Jerusalem asIsraels capitol and to reinsert GOD into the Platform.

There was a far worse embarrassment to the Party and to Convention Chairman, LosAngeles Mayor Antonio (I cant pass the Bar Exam) Villar Aigosa as he conducted voice votenumber one, which obviously lost. He called for a second voice vote a yes or no vote anddeclared a two-thirds afrmative vote was necessary to pass. The nos were clearly more thana third, probably 50% or more the second time.

Looking like a headlight-blinded tiny deer, Villar Aigosa stood there frozen, grim-faced,eyes darting around looking for help. This featured Mexican American front man for the Demo-crat Plantation had no idea what to do with an obvious NO voice vote. It was painful to watch.

He started to say in the opinion of the Chair, then, he stopped and said I guessAfter a few seconds instructions came through a lady who walked up and told him what

to do probably directly from President Obama. He called for another voice vote with a two-thirds majority required to pass the amendments.

Once again, the Nos carried the vote. Villar Aigosa looked out over a predominatelyNo crowd and declared that the Ayes having two thirds of the votes, the amendments pass.

What BS! If it had been any other Democrat this wouldnt matter much. However, follow-ing the convention keynote speech by San Antonio Mexican American Mayor Julian Castro byjust hours, Mexican American Villar Aigosa looked like a fool.

Castro did not look too foolish. He looked like he had never spoken to a large audience.He grinned throughout the entire speech, though, which, by itself, made him look a little foolishbut not as foolish as Antonio V.

His speech was so-so. His familys story saved the speech. His attacks on Mitt Romneyand Paul Ryan were ludicrous. He lied about Romney/Ryan plans. In a word, Julian Castro isfull of crap AKA Democrat talking points. Did he save Marco Rubios Bad President? Did hereect political introspection Like Governor Susan Martinez did At the GOP convention?

Did he talk about the future? No. Did he talk about saving Medicare? No. Did he talkabout raising education quality? No. Did he talk about creating 12 million jobs? No. Did he tellus how the taxpayers have sunk over $20 billion dollars into General Motors which, Obamaclaims is an Administration achievement? No. Did he tell us how Obama would trim millions

of people receiving government welfare/food stamp benets off of welfare? No. Did he lamentthat one-in-ve Hispanics are out of work or work part-time? No. Did he lament Obamas bro-

ken promise to create Comprehensive Immigration Reform in his rst year? No. Did he notethat Obamas health insurance scheme is abhorred by a majority of Americans? No.

His grandmother arrival from Mexico as a child and how she worked all her life; hismother being the familys r st to attend college -- appealed to me. To this, I say, however...Isnt that the story of many who came from Mexico? His grandmother cleaned houses andbaby sat. My great-grandmother worked in tuna packing plants on San Diego Bay, while my17-year-old mother brought to the U.S. a 3 year-old-boy and her 8th grade education andfound work despite not speaking a word of English.

Castros mother has been generously described as a political activist by a fawning/friendly media. They and Julian leave out a critical fact of his mothers political background.She was not a mainstream or even liberal Democrat. Unlike my mother who was a Californiamainstream-elected-Democrat ofcial for almost three decades, Castros mother was a radicalleftist revolutionary and that is how she brought up her sons. To a trained ear, it was apparentin his speech.

She was of La Raza Unida, the leftist radical Chicano political party based in CrystalCity, Texas (The Spinach Capitol of the World), that ran candidates for Texas ofce but wononly some local ofces. La Raza twice ran a gubernatorial candidate who was convicted ofdrug charges and sent to prison. The party disappeared.

Hispanic men love their mothers despite their politics. I know. We wonder how much of

Julians politics were inuenced by his mother.

Requirements forDeferred ActionIt makes no sense to expel talented young people, who, for all intents and pur-

poses, are Americans.-Barack Obama

What is Deferred Action?

Deferred Action is a new policy which has been designed by the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) in order to allow certain people, who did not intentionally infringe the immigration laws,continue to live and work in the United States.This means that children that entered illegally and that have grown up in the United States did nothave the intention of violating immigration laws. Given that they are not responsible for what hap-pened when they were young, it is illogical for them to receive sanctions. DHS has determined that

it is unnecessary to deport eligible immigrants if they meet certain criteria.To receive this benet, you must submit a request for Deferred Action together with an applicationfor employment authorization. If this is approved, you may work in the United States legally.Due to the complexity of the immigration law and the unprecedented amount of requests, it is likelythat the forms be closely inspected by the USCIS, which stresses the importance of working withpeople who are familiar with what, for many, is a very complicated six-page form. Any errors in theapplication, including the inadequacy of information, could extend the waiting period. In addition, ifan applicant fails to respond properly to an order of the USCIS for more information, he/she couldbe denied the benet.Ofcials from the USCIS that review requests will be under minimal supervision, another reasonwhy each case should be prepared in a clear and meticulous manner. Once denied, Deferred Ac-tion for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) requests may not be appealed.

Who is eligible for the Deferred Action?

To be eligible for Deferred Action, you should:

Have come to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;Have resided in the United States for a minimum period of ve years as of June 15th, 2012 (shorttrips outside the United States for humanitarian reasons do not affect this requirement);Be 15 years old or older when presenting the application;Not be older than 30 years of age;Have graduated from high school or equivalent, be enrolled in school or be a veteran of the armyof the United States;Undergo a background check and have a clean record for serious crimes, misdemeanors (exceptone or two non-signicant minor offenses) or any other evidence of you posing a threat to thecountry.

What are the documents required to apply for Deferred Action?

When requesting Deferred Action, you must provide documentation proving that you qualify.

To prove that you entered the United States before age 16, have resided in the country for at leastve years and were in the country as of June 15th, 2012, you will need:

Financial Records,Medical Records,School Records,Employment Records orMilitary Records.

To prove you attend school, have graduated, are serving in the army or are an honorably dis-charged veteran, you will need:Diploma,General Educational Development (GED) diploma,Transcripts,High School Diploma or Certicate of Completion,Military Report of Separation,Military Personnel Records,Military Health Records.

[ cartas al editor / letters to the editor ]ObAMA AND ROMNey NeeD tO Get ReAl ONJObS POlicyIts a testament to how bad the American employment market has gotten that themost recent jobs report was met with applause.The Labor Departments July jobs gures showed that employers added 163,000new workers last month. That exceeds what most forecasters were predicting. Butits only barely enough to keep up with population growth. And the overall unemploy-ment rate actually increased slightly, to about 8.3 percent.Jobs have been and will continue to be the most important issue to voters come

November. A new Gallup/USA TODAY poll nds that 92 percent of likely voters ratecreating good jobs as either a very important or extremely important priorityfor the next president. That was a full ve points ahead of the second most popularissue (reducing corruption in government).The issue has bipartisan salience. Unlike healthcare reform or tax cuts, creatinggood jobs is a high priority for Democrats and Republicans alike, with 48 percent ofeach ranking it as extremely important.

And yet neither Obama nor Romney has provided anything remotely resembling arobust, detailed policy package for spurring job grow and getting the employmentmarket back on track.Sure, Romney has his 59-Point economic plan. But he hasnt done much to marketit. No one has read it. And while the plan itself does contain some sensible policyreforms - cutting corporate tax rates and expanding domestic energy production, forexample - it mostly just nibbles around the edges.The President did actually present jobs legislation to Congress. But while it includedsome smart reforms, it was too limited. And it went nowhere.

A smart, specic set of pro-jobs policies now could win the presidency.Here are the two Id start with. Theyre palatable to the base of both parties andwould generate widespread public support.First, prioritize and pass pending trade deals. Scaling back trade barriers makes

it easier for foreign countries to buy American-made products, boosting domesticbusinesses and stirring job growth. US rms get access to cheaper foreign goods,leaving more money to invest in their domestic operations and grow their work-forces.The Trans-Pacic Partnership Agreement (TPP) between the US and key Asia-Pa-cic economies is undergoing its next round of negotiations in a few weeks in Lees-burg, Virginia. This is the kind of agreement the candidates should be promoting.

Among other things, the TPP establishes strong, universal patent protections forinnovative industries like technology and pharmaceuticals. Reaching agreement onTPP would incentivize the next generation of breakthrough ideas - and all the new

jobs that come with them.Same goes for the African Growth and Opportunity Act, a free trade bill between ourtwo continents that just passed the Senate and House.Second, a pro-jobs move for Romney or Obama would be to stand rmly againstblind, across-the-board cuts in Medicare and other public insurance programs.Lately, this kind of reform has become distressingly popular. Instead of doing thehard work of identifying and eliminating the parts of these programs that are genu-inely wasteful, policymakers are just pushing for huge, brainless cuts.Obamas health bill creates a new Medicare advisory board that will soon startbringing down program expenses with massive cuts in physician reimbursements

completely insensitive to the quality of care provided. Similarly, Congress is consid-

ering brute-force cuts in Part B and Part D.These plans arent just dangerous to patient health - theyre dangerous to jobgrowth. For many hospitals and doctors ofces, public insurance is an importantsource of revenue. If payments from these programs dry up, providers could beforced to scale back or even close operations, laying off nurses, physician assis-tants, technicians, and others in the process.Theres a lot of work to be done in Washington to make American workers wholeafter years of job stagnation. No more sloganeering and vague promises. Obamaand Romney need to start getting specic.

Douglas E. Schoen is a political strategist, Fox News contributor,and author of several books including the recently released, Hope-lessly Divided: The New Crisis in American Politics and What It

Means for 2012 and Beyond (Rowman and Littleeld).

Ann Romney during the Republican Convention You are the best of American...Wow... Only the republicans are the best of USA???Oh, yes she try to connect with single mothers.. (Not very good at it). No connec-tion, no motivation. We have a real marriage, she said... What does that mean?.She later said: No one care more? (referring to Romney) Really?? Care aboutwho? Attack in Romney success? He has more negative advertisement aboutPresident Obama than what he promise he can do for the country. By the way theConvention looks more like Romney than the average America. Is the convention

representative in how his government cabinet is going to look like? God save us.Governor Chris ChristieI havent always agree with him but his passion is admirable and I respect him forit. The man can deliver a great speech. Our leaders should work togetherI agree with him and I agree that he has done a great bipartisan job in New Jerseybut our current Congress has forget to negotiate anymore so it took 2 years to ap-prove 1 bill in Health Care Reform and another to conrm it (which by the way is asimilar bill that Romney proudly create, sponsor and sign in his state when he wasgovernor) Mr. Christie talk about bipartisan work is his state, however, he wentback to say that Republicans are the ones who hold the truth... He came back tobe and repeat the same speech that Republicans have been saying all night long(I guess he has to) Reach compromise? Sure, in your state not in Congress wherethe majority is Republicans and they have made every effort to block every singlepiece of legislation that has come from President Obama. People will think that Iam totally bias. Maybe, because I do believe in Social Responsibility (that is why Ido what I do every day working with people who work hard but are poor) but whatI have stated it is not far from the truth and those are facts. It is not a good feelingwhen your best choice is the best between two bad choices. Will see. God protectand guide this great Nation!

Licencia y AccionDiferidaAlgunos gobernadores de estado han vetado que se les conceda la

licencia de manejar a los jvenes beneciarios del DACA.

No es el caso de Delaware en donde, de acuerdo a la Divisin de Vehculos

Motores, esto es lo que pasa:

Las personas podrn solicitar una licencia o tarjeta de identicacin Delaware si son capaces de

demostrar su presencia legal. Por ejemplo, debern aportar documentacin, tales como una tarjeta

de autorizacin de empleo, tarjeta de seguro social de la Administracin del Seguro Social, y dos

comprobantes de residencia. No se les calicarn diciendo simplemente que ellos estn bajo el

proceso de Accin Diferida.

La nica manera de que un individuo a quien se la ha concedido la Accin Diferida sea capaz de

obtener una licencia o identicacin de Delaware es si l o ella tiene los documentos de USCIS que

demuestren que su presencia legal y vlida. Los documentos deben tener un nmero de Extranjero

(Alien#) o un nmero de la I-94 con fecha de vencimiento de por lo menos 60 das. Vericamos

todos los documentos a travs de USCIS y no podemos emitir una licencia o tarjeta de identicacin

hasta que recibamos la aprobacin a travs de ellos. Por lo tanto, siempre y cuando USCIS verique

que los documentos de la persona son legtimos y que la persona que est aqu legalmente, puede

solicitar una licencia o tarjeta de identicacin.

License and DACASome state governors have vetoed the driver license to be granted to the

young beneciaries of DACA.This is not the case in Delaware, where according to the Division of Motor Vehicles, this is what

happens:

Individual will be able to apply for a Delaware license or ID card if they are able to prove legal

presence. For example, they must provide documentation such as an employment authorization

card, social security card

from the Social Security

Administration, and two

proofs of residence. They

will not qualify by simply

stating they fall under the

Deferred Action Process.

The only way an individual

that has been granted the

deferred action is able to

get a Delaware license

or ID is if he or she has

documents from USCIS

showing valid legal pres-

ence. The documents

must have an Alien or I-94

number with an expira-

tion date of at least 60

days away. We verify all

documents through USCIS

and we cannot issue a

license or ID card until we

receive approval through

them. Therefore, as long

as USCIS veries the

individuals documents are

legit and the person is here

legally they can apply for a

license or ID card.

Accin Diferida ySeguro SocialA pesar de que el proceso de Accin Diferida, si es otorgado, implica un

permiso de trabajo, consultamos sobre la obtencin de la tarjeta del se-

guro social, y esto nos respondieron:

Las personas que son elegibles para la Accin Diferida pueden solicitar y obtener autorizacin de

empleo del Servicio de Ciudadana e Inmigracin de los Estados Unidos (USCIS por sus siglas en

ingls). Si una persona solicita el proceso de Accin Diferida y cumple con los criterios establecidos

por el USCIS, podemos procesar una solicitud de tarjeta de Seguro Social si el individuo tiene unestatus vlido, vigente y legal que lo autoriza para trabajar. Un extranjero autorizado para trabajar

debe proporcionar evidencia de estatus migratorio legal con autorizacin para trabajar. La Adminis-

tracin del Seguro Social (SSA por sus siglas en ingls) no le asignar un nmero de Seguro Social

a un extranjero que resida ilegalmente en los EE.UU. o que no tenga autorizacin de trabajo, a

menos que el extranjero tenga una razn no laboral vlida, de acuerdo a la poltica del SSA . Tenga

en cuenta que una ley federal o una ley estatal o local que requiera de un nmero de Seguro Social

para recibir benecios de asistencia pblica son las nicas razones vlidas aparte de las razones de

trabajo.

Con el n de procesar una solicitud de tarjeta de seguro social, el individuo debe tener una autor-

izacin para trabajar vlida o una causa justicada no laboral. Por favor, pngase en contacto con

su ocina local del Seguro Social con respecto a su solicitud de un nmero de Seguro Social, si su

cliente cumple los requisitos basados en nuestra poltica.

Deferred Action andSocial Security

Although the Deferred Action process -if granted- involves a work permit,

we consulted on obtaining a social security card, and following is the an-

swer we obtained:

Individuals who are eligible for the deferred action may apply and obtain employment authoriza-

tion from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If an individual applies for

the deferred action process and meets the criteria set out by USCIS, we can process an SSN card

request if the individual has valid, current, lawful, work-authorized status. An alien allowed to work

must provide evidence of work-authorized lawful alien status. SSA will not assign an SSN to an alien

who is residing illegally in the U.S. or does not have work-authorization, unless the alien has a valid

non-work reason per SSA policy. Please note that a Federal statute or a State/local law requiring anSSN for public assistance benets are the only valid non-work reasons.

In order to process an SSN card request, the individual must have valid work-authorization or a valid

non-work reason. Please contact your local Social Security Ofce regarding your request for aSocial Security Number, if your client meets the qualications based on our policy.

Aclaratoria: Estimado Editor,

Despus de revisar el artculo escrito por Gabriel Pilonieta-Blanco, pareca que haba algunos

errores que hemos querido traer a su atencin. Es crtico que la informacin que se comparte con

la comunidad sea exacta. Agradecemos la oportunidad de corregir esta informacin en su prximapublicacin.

Correcciones al artculo La Escuela Bilinge Tony Alonso publicado en agosto de 2012:

El nombre de la escuela es Academia Antonia Alonso. La escuela tambin se reere a s misma

como La Academia.

La escuela se encuentra actualmente en el proceso de solicitud del Edicio de Educacin de la

Comunidad como una posible ubicacin para la escuela. El edicio de Educacin de la Comunidad

est estrechamente conectado con la Fundacin Longwood, pero es una entidad separada. Se trata

de un proceso competitivo; otras escuelas chrter tambin estn aplicando al Edicio de Educacin

de la Comunidad. No hay ninguna garanta de que La Academia ser aceptada. La Junta Directiva

de la Academia Antonia Alonso tambin est investigando otras oportunidades, pero se sentira

honrada si su solicitud por el edicio CEB fuera aceptada. Sin embargo, no hay negociaciones entre

la Academia Antonia Alonso y la Fundacin Longwood.

Una vez ms, gracias por su atencin a este asunto.
