NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTHMES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANASEPTEMBER 15 - OCTOBER 15

Each year, the United States honors the con-tributions that Latinos have made to ourcountry with a Hispanic Heritage Month cel-ebration that runs from September 15 toOctober 15. This annual celebration began21 years ago, but its inception stretchesback farther into our history. Congress firstpassed a resolution to celebrate Hispanicheritage at the national level as a weeklongevent on September 17, 1968. Nearly 20years later, on August 17, 1988, PresidentRonald Reagan stretched the celebrationsto a month, from September 15 to October15.

September 15 was chosen as this celebra-tion's start date in order to coincide withthe Independence Day celebrations of fiveLatin American countries: Costa Rica, El Sal-vador, Guatemala, Honduras andNicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chileobserve their independence on September16 and September 18, respectively.

This commemorative month honors the in-fluence and impact of Hispanics in allspheres of U.S. society, including science,art, politics, culture and the economy.Catholic Relief Services recognizes thatmore than 39 percent of U.S. Catholics areHispanic and is honored to join in celebrat-ing and paying tribute to the diversity ofcultures and accomplishments within theLatino community. The support of Latinosis crucial to our work as the official inter-national humanitarian agency of the U.S.Catholic community.

Throughout the history of CRS, our agencyhas been intimately linked with Latin Amer-ica. In fact, our very first project in 1943began south of the U.S. border when Colo-nia Santa Rosa, in Guanajuato, Mexico,gave shelter to 709 Polish refugees that wehelped place. This began a shared historythat continues more than 65 years later.Then, as now, our mission was to assist thepoor and suffering on the basis of need,without regard to creed, race or nationality.

Throughout the history of the UnitedStates, people have come from variousparts of the globe and have contributed tobuild this nation where we live today. Com-memorating Hispanic Heritage Month givesus an opportunity not only to feel proud ofour roots, but also to educate those whoare not Hispanic about the richness and di-versity of the various Latin American cul-tures.

Todos los años, desde hace 21 años, entreel 15 de septiembre y el 15 de octubre, loslatinos de los Estados Unidos celebramos elmes de la herencia hispana.

En realidad, el concepto de esta celebraciónhabía comenzado antes. El festejo de laherencia hispana fue primero aprobadocomo un festejo de una semana por unaresolución conjunta del Congreso de los Es-tados Unidos del 17 de septiembre de 1968.Veinte años más tarde, el 17 de agosto de1988, el Presidente Ronald Reagan ex-pandió las celebraciones a un mes, del 15de septiembre al 15 de octubre. Se eligió el15 de septiembre como la fecha de inicioporque ese día marcaba el aniversario dela independencia de cinco países lati-noamericanos: Costa Rica, El Salvador,Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua.Además, México y Chile celebran su inde-pendencia los días 16 y 18 de septiembre,respectivamente.

Así, este mes de celebraciones resalta la in-fluencia política, económica, social y cul-tural de los hispanos en los Estados Unidos.Catholic Relief Services (CRS) reconoce quemás del 39 por ciento de los católicos de losEstados Unidos son hispanos y se honra enadherirse a las festividades celebrando lasculturas, logros y herencia hispanas re-conociendo la importancia de los latinos ennuestra labor como la agencia oficial de lacomunidad católica de los Estados Unidospara ayuda humanitaria internacional.Una campesina beneficiaria de los progra-mas de CRS en Muruaya, Bolivia.

Además, los orígenes de CRS están íntima-mente ligados con Latinoamérica, ya queen la primera misión, allá por 1943, 709refugiados polacos se establecieron en laHacienda Santa Rosa, en Guanajuato, Méx-ico, dando así comienzo a una historia demás de 65 años asistiendo a los pobres y alos que sufren sobre la base de necesi-dades, sin importar raza, religión o na-cionalidad.

En el transcurso de toda la historia de losEstados Unidos, muchos grupos de per-sonas han llegado desde distintas partesdel mundo y han ayudado a construir lanación en la que vivimos hoy. Celebrar elmes de la herencia hispana no solamentees una oportunidad para sentirnos orgul-losos de nuestras raíces, sino también paraeducar a los que no son hispanos acerca delas diferentes culturas latinoamericanas.


Wherever he goes, GOP presidential candidate RickPerry proudly waves the flag of conservatism, often in-troducing himself with, "I simply want to get Americaworking again and make Washington, D.C., as incon-sequential in your life as I can."

But the Texas governor, a favorite of conservativesoverall, is taking criticism forbeing too moderate when itcomes to immigration. The rea-son: In 2001, his first full yearin office, he signed legislationthat grants in-state tuition ratesat Texas colleges and universi-ties to some illegal immigrants.

He was forced to defend thatmove at last week's CNN/TeaParty-sponsored debate inTampa.

"If you are working and pursu-ing citizenship in the state ofTexas, you pay in-state tuitionthere. And the bottom line is itdoesn't make any differencewhat the sound of your lastname is," he said. "That is theAmerican way."

Perry's answer prompted boosfrom Tea Party activists in theaudience.

Opponents On The Offensive

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann compared Perry'sTexas immigration policy to the federal DREAM Act,which is supported by the White House. That proposalwould provide a path to legal U.S. residency for peoplewho arrived in the U.S. illegally as minors and whomeet certain conditions.

And there was this from former Pennsylvania Sen. RickSantorum: "What Gov. Perry's done is he provided in-state tuition for illegal immigrants. Maybe that was anattempt to attract the illegal vote — I mean, the Latinovoters."

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, consideredthe moderate among the top-tier GOP contenders, hasalso joined the attack.

While Perry does call for a much stronger federal pres-ence patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border, he opposesbuilding a wall. Romney calls for a high-tech fence tobe built, and he says, "As governor, I vetoed legisla-tion that would have provided in-state tuition breaksto illegal immigrants, and I strengthened the authorityof our state troopers to enforce existing immigrationlaws."

Focus On Latino Voters

Perry's outreach to Latinos includes a meeting behindclosed doors with Hispanic business leaders Mondayin New York City.

Among Latino voters, Democrats enjoy a tremendousedge. Mindful of that, the independent group Ameri-can Crossroads, founded by former George W. Bushadviser Karl Rove, has run Spanish-language ads thatkeep the focus solely on President Obama and theeconomy.

The message is about the impact the bad economyand the president's policies have had on Latino fami-lies.

Such ads are a recognition that tough talk on immigra-

tion now can hurt the GOP nominee come the generalelection. But Matt Barreto, a Latino political analyst atthe University of Washington, says even a focused eco-nomic message is still a very tough sell for Republi-cans with this group of voters.

"When we ask in our polling ... we find consistently

that Latino voters tell us that they trust Obama andthe Democrats at much higher rates, almost 3-1, thanthey do Republicans on fixing the economy," he says."When we go back to the Bush tax cuts, which Presi-dent Obama extended, we found that Latino voterswere opposed to that. They said they should have letthem expire."

But Roberto Suro of the Annenberg School at the Uni-versity of Southern California says the GOP goal is todiscourage Latino voters who once supported Obama.He says they may not vote Republican, but you mightget them to stay home.

"If you can move a fairly small percentage of Latinovoters in the right places, you can have a big differ-ence in the electoral college outcomes," Suro says.

Look at New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada, he says —all states that Obama carried in 2008, but also placeswhere President Bush won four years earlier. Each hasa big Latino population.

If Obama's total among those voters falls off signifi-cantly, that could be the difference between winningre-election or not.

Los candidatos republicanos a la presidencia en 2012han tenido oportunidad de responder a diversas pre-guntas sobre inmigración en los primeros debateselectorales. La postura de cada uno de ellos ante la re-forma migratoria será clave en su carrera hacia laCasa Blanca y ya es uno de los temas de la campañacuando todavía queda más de un año para elegir alpróximo presidente.

Si la política de inmigración de Obama ha puesto enjuego el apoyo de los votantes hispanos para su re-elección, los republicanos no arriesgan menos. El par-tido, además, ha cambiado radicalmente de posturaen los últimos años. John McCain lideró en 2006 el úl-timo intento de reforma legislativa, bajo la presiden-cia de George W. Bush. McCain, aspirante a la CasaBlanca en 2008, llegó a colaborar con el senador

demócrata Ted Kennedy para sacar adelante unanueva ley de inmigración, pero cambió de opinión de-spués de las elecciones. El partido reclama ahoraagentes y aumento de la seguridad en la frontera yrechaza cualquier propuesta para legalizar a indocu-mentados.

El debate afecta especialmente a RickPerry, gobernador de Texas, el estado conmás kilómetros de frontera con México.Perry tiene más experiencia que el restode candidatos en materia de inmigración,pero en los últimos debates le ha costadojustificar su postura. Si en el pasadoafirmó que el muro fronterizo nunca fun-cionaría, hace unas semanas declaró de-spués de un evento en Carolina del Surque “el gobierno federal debe poner los re-cursos, los agentes y los aviones paragarantizar la seguridad en la fronteraantes de tener cualquier conversaciónsobre la reforma migratoria”.

Perry ha firmado, además, la versión es-tatal del DREAM Act y que permite con-seguir la ciudadanía a jóvenesindocumentados que sirvan en el ejército -a diferencia del proyecto de ley federalque añade la posibilidad de acceder a lanacionalidad matriculándose en la univer-sidad. Este paso ha enfadado a laderecha, radicalmente opuesta acualquier medida que permita a una per-sona indocumentada conseguir la na-cionalidad.

Las decisiones de Perry en materia de inmigración leobligan a hacer malabares para convencer al elec-torado republicano. Mientras que ha firmado su ver-sión del DREAM Act y ha rechazado el muro en lafrontera para apoyarlo poco después, también quiereque los estados legislen en materia de inmigración,pero nunca aprobaría una ley como la de Arizona enTexas, donde residen más de nueve millones de his-panos. Y a pesar de que acaba de firmar otra ley queayuda a pagar la matrícula a estudiantes indocumen-tados -por la que recibió varias críticas durante el de-bate del pasado lunes-, últimamente conversa con JoeArpaio, el Sheriff del condado de Maricopa en Arizona

Michelle Bachman, que también buscó el apoyo delSheriff Arpaio en una visita reciente a Phoenix, de-fiende una de las posturas más tajantes en materia deinmigración. “En México estamos tratando con nar-coterroristas”, dijo durante el debate. “Es un problemamuy serio. Si no construimos un muro en toda la fron-tera, estaremos cediendo la soberanía de EstadosUnidos no sólo al Gobierno nacional, también a otrasnaciones”. La candidata se refería así al hecho de queel congreso legisle sobre inmigración y no los estadosde manera individual, como ella defiende.

Para Bachman, el sistema volvería a funcionar si serecuperan los valores de la década de los 50, cuando“los inmigrantes tenían que demostrar que teníandinero, que no sufrían enfermedades contagiosas yque no tenían antecedentes criminales”, comentó. “En-tonces debían prometer que no se convertirían en unacarga para los norteamericanos que pagan sus im-puestos. Eso es lo que debemos recuperar”.

Los expertos aseguran sin embargo que el sistemafuncionaba entonces por la impunidad con la que pe-queños y grandes empresarios podían contratar a in-documentados, ejerciendo tal presión que el Congresollegó a rechazar numerosas leyes prohibiendo estapráctica. El crecimiento económico y la reducción deldesempleo entonces impedían ver la inmigración comoun problema. La situación, sesenta años después, esdiferente.

En el debate del pasado mes de Septiembre, los republicanos intensificaron susposiciones extremas, dejando algo muy claro: Están buscando votos del Tea Party,no de los latinos.

“La retórica anti-inmigrante de los republicanos dejó algo muy claro anoche: estánbuscando el voto del Tea Party, no el de los latinos. Desde el apoyo de Perry por laley migratoria de Arizona, a las oposición de Romneycontra los descuentos universitarios para inmigrantesindocumentados, los republicanos han demostradoque, de obtener la presidencia, no promoverían solu-ciones de sentido común para nuestras familias. Mien-tras el Presidente Obama ha sido firme a favor de unareforma migratoria integral y del DREAM Act, los repub-licanos siguen impulsando posturas extremas que sonmalas para los latinos y malas para los inmigrantes.”

Republican Immigration Statements on GOP DebatePerry apoyó a Arizona al implementar su ley de inmi-gración. “I supported Arizona's immigration law by [get-ting] in that lawsuit to defend it. [Perry, Fox/GoogleDebate, 9/22/11]

Romney: Los descuentos estatales de matrícula univer-sitaria para inmigrantes indocumentados no son más que un “imán”. “Four years ofcollege, almost $100,000 discount if you are an illegal alien go to the University ofTexas. If you are a United States citizen from any one of the other 49 states youhave to pay $100,000 more. That doesn't make sense to me. That kind of madnessthat kind of magnet draws people into this country to get that education to get the$100,000 break. It makes no sense. We have to turn off the magnet of extraordi-nary government benefits like discount for going to the University of Texas thatshouldn't be allowed. It makes no sense.” [Romney, Fox/Google Debate, 9/22/11]

Gingrich: El E-Verify lo deben controlar companies de tarjetas de crédito; el pro-grama debería ser tan fácil como “deslizar una tarjeta”. “First of all I think we wouldbe better off to outsource e-verify to American Express, Master Card or Visa be-

cause they know how to run a program like that without massive fraud. Second, theprogram should be as easy as swiping your credit card when you buy gasoline.”[Gingrich, Fox/Google Debate, 9/22/11]

Santorum se opuso a los descuentos estatales de matrícula universitaria para hijosde inmigrantes indocumentados al decir “Sólo tienen que tomar dinero prestado y

encontrar otras fuentes de apoyo para estudiar”. “Noone is suggesting that the students that are illegal inthis country shouldn't be able to go to a college oruniversity. I think you are making this leap unless wesubsidize this, the taxpayers subsidize it they won'tbe able to go. Most folks who want go to the state ofTexas or any other state have to pay. The point iswhy are we subsidizing. They just have to borrow,find other sources to be able to go. Why should theybe given preferential treatment, as an illegal in thiscountry?” [Santorum, Fox/Google Debate, 9/22/11]

Bachmann se opone a la demanda contra la ley de in-migración de Arizona. “The reason why he's askingthis question is because the Federal Government hasfailed the American people and failed the states. It isreprehensible that President Obama has sued the

State of Arizona and the Governor of Arizona, for trying to protect the people inArizona. That's wrong.” [Bachmann, Fox/Google Debate, 9/22/11]

Bachmann apoya la construcción de un muro fronterizo con vigilancia a lo largo detoda la frontera entre EE.UU. y México. “As President of the United States, I woulddo what my job would demand of me. That's to uphold the sovereignty of theUnited States of America. To do that, I would build a fence on America's southernborder on every mile, on every yard, on every foot, on every inch of the southernborder that's what we have to do. Not only build it, but also have sufficient bordersecurity and enforce the laws that are on the books with the ICE agents and bordersecurity.” [Bachmann, Fox/Google Debate, 9/22/11]

DREAM YOUTHLEADER SHACKLEDAND FACING DEPORTATION,IMMIGRANT YOUTH DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITYFROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION,CALL ON THEPRESIDENTTO KEEP HISWORDWASHINGTON, DC- TheUnitedWe Dream Net-work (UWD), a nation-wide alliance ofundocumented youth,witnessed their formerboard chairman, Ma-tias Ramos, shackledwith an electronicmonitoring device andordered out of thecountry in 14 days.This happened without any provocationwhatsoever and is an outrage.

After deporting a record million plus im-migrants and inflicting unspeakable painon our families, the President effectivelyoffered hope and relief to entire cate-gories of immigrants outlined in hismemo on an individual basis. The immi-grant youth of UWD demand that thePresident put some teeth into his memoand follow through on his promise of cat-egorical relief and an opportunity to earna living. UWD and the Center for Com-munity Change also issued a call to theimmigrant community to monitor and re-port agents who fail to enforce this newpolicy through a new toll-free hotline.The Obama Administration and its agentsmust and will be held accountable.

Gerardo Noriega is also DREAM Act- eligi-ble and lives in Colorado. He faces depor-tation after being stopped for a brokenlicense plate light. “It’s not really living,it’s more of just surviving,” Noriega said.“It’s about trying to stay positive and con-tinue trying to go on, look ahead, lookforward to something better.”

“The Obama Administration is promisingprosecutorial discretion for low prioritycases, but this is clearly not being en-forced in the field,” stated FranciscoLopez, Executive Director of CAUSA-Ore-gon, and a Fair Immigration ReformMovement member.

Gerardo, Matias, and immigrant youthacross the country vowed to not let theirstories end with them.

MEDICARE CUTS TOAFFECT LATINOSENIORS MOST

SAN DIEGO — According to the latest U.S.Census data on poverty rates, 90 percentof Latino and African-American seniorsare considered financially vulnerable.Typically, these groups cannot save asmuch money for retirement. Latinos inparticular, are also the least likely groupto have health insurance coverage andthey rely heavily on Medicare benefits.In response to some of these trends, 10leading Latino advocacy groups are

launching a new campaign meantto educate the Latino communityabout the importance ofMedicare and Medicaid.

The group is opposed to the pro-posal to raise the Medicare ageto 67, claiming that this wouldcost Latinos more than $2.4 bil-lion in the first year alone. Mak-ing cuts to Medicare benefits,they say, would drive up healthcare costs for everyone--a $5.5billion cut to Medicare couldmean a $10 billion increase incosts for non-Medicare recipi-ents.

"What the government does is it shiftsthese costs to seniors, to employers, tostate and local governments," said JeffCruz, Executive Director of Latinos for aSecure Retirement, one of the membersof the new Latino coalition. "By makingcuts to Medicare, the government shifts itto current workers, to younger people.So it doubles the costs and just shifts itoff."

In a new report, the coalition of Latino or-ganizations suggests that the creation ofa Medicare offered prescription drug ben-efit with negotiated prices would cutspending by more than three times theamount cut from increasing the Medicareeligibility age.

FARMERS CLAIM IMMIGRATION LAWS

NEGATIVELYAFFECTING HARVEST

Farmers in one of Alabama’s leading agri-cultural areas asked legislators to makeemergency changes to the state’s toughnew law against illegal immigration, say-ing millions of dollars of crops are at riskin comingweeks be-cause of asuddenlack ofhands forharvest.

The law-makers

said they can’t do anything to the lawright now, and it may be months before itcan be changed.About 50 growers packed a truck-stopdining room 45 miles north of Birming-ham. They pleaded with three north Ala-bama lawmakers to amend the law andsave what they called the lifeblood of thestate’s agriculture operations: The His-panic workers who pick vegetables,gather chickens from poultry houses, pullsweet potatoes out of the ground andmake the cardboard boxes that hold pro-duce.

Those workers are leaving the state be-cause they are intimidated by the law,and without them, acres and acres ofcrops will be wasted, the farmers said.

The law makes it a crime to employ or as-sist an illegal immigrant in remaining inthe country. It allows police to jail peopleif they can’t prove they are in the UnitedStates legally, and the farmers said manySpanish-speaking workers who are in thecountry legally and illegally have movedfrom Alabama in fear.

The gathered farmers told lawmakersthey’d like to use U.S.-born citizens forthe work, but few are willing to sweat inthe fields and get dirty even thoughwages are usually well above minimumwage.

STUDY CONFIRMSCHILDREN OF

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTSSUFFER FROMNEGATIVE SELF

IMAGEMore than five million children inthe United States are “at risk oflower educational performance,economic stagnation, blockedmobility and ambiguous belong-ing” because they are growing up in im-migrant families affected by illegal status.This conclusion is according to a studypublished recently in the Harvard Educa-tional Review.

Children whose parents are illegal immi-grants or who lack legal status them-selves face “uniformly negative” effectson their social development from earlychildhood until they become adults, Thestudy is the first to pull together field re-search by social scientists nationwide totrack the effects of a family’s illegal im-

migration status onchildren from birthuntil they graduatefrom college and startto navigate the jobmarket. It covers immi-grants from a variety oforigins, including Lati-nos and Asians.The Harvard study re-

ports that “fear and vigilance” guide thehome lives of young children whose par-ents are illegal immigrants, making theparents significantly less likely to engagewith teachers or be active in schools.

Parents’ fears of deportation led to lowerlevels of enrollment of their Americanchildren in public programs for which thechildren were legally eligible, includingchild care subsidies, public preschool andfood stamps, the study found.

About 5.5 million children in this countryhave at least one parent who is an illegalimmigrant, according to an estimate bythe Pew Hispanic Center. Among them,about one million children were broughthere illegally by their parents, whileabout 4.5 million are United States citi-zens because they were born here.

Many illegal immigrant parents work longhours in low-wage jobs, sometimes morethan one job. New research on veryyoung children cited in the Harvard studyshowed that the undocumented parents’difficult work conditions “contribute sub-stantially to the lower cognitive skills ofchildren in their families.” This was trueeven though the children were morelikely to be in two-parent families thanAmerican children as a whole.

As teenagers, children without legal sta-tus face a hard awakening when theyapply for jobs, driver’s licenses or finan-cial aid for college and discover they arenot legally qualified for any of them.Their paths diverge from siblings who areAmerican citizens by birthright.“In late adolescence, they start to realize

their legal limitations,and their worlds turncompletely upsidedown,” said RobertoG. Gonzales, a sociol-ogist at the Universityof Chicago whose re-search on college-ageillegal immigrants iscited in the Harvardstudy.

Academic achievement does little to liftthe prospects of illegal immigrants whohave grown up here. Out of 150 immi-grants Professor Gonzales studied indepth, 31 had completed college or ad-vanced degrees, but none were in a ca-reer that matched their educationaltraining. Many were working low-wagejobs like their parents.

The Harvard study found that many ille-gal immigrant youths, facing the “re-duced promise of mobility,” had droppedout of school and begun the search forwork they could do without legal papers,“forced deeper and deeper into an under-ground work force.”

The researchers said that a generation ofyoung illegal immigrants raised in thiscountry was moving toward “perpetualoutsider-hood.”

JOSE A. CARDENAS,PIONEERINGEDUCATOR, DIESAT 80Jose A. Cardenas, teacher, researcherand pioneer in educating Hispanic chil-dren, has diedat age 80, ac-cording to theSan AntonioExpress-News.

The newspa-per reportedthat he wasfound in hishome. Carde-nas' sonMichael toldthe newspaperthat his fatherhad suffered strokes over the last sev-

eral years and never fully recovered.

Longtime colleague Rosie Castro toldthe newspaper that Cardenas "pio-

neered the idea that children whoare bilingual learned differently. Itwas a novel idea that the educationculture had never looked at andwas well proven out later. In the'60s and '70s, it was very new."

In addition to being an authority inschool finance reform and earlychildhood, multicultural and bilin-gual education, Cardenas champi-oned civil rights, zeroing in oneducational justice and equity, hasdied.

"We have lost a real champion," AlKauffman, former attorney for the Mexi-can American Legal Defense and Educa-tional Fund, told the newspaper. "Hewas the leading Latino educator in thehistory of the United States."

Cardenas is survived by his wife, LauraDoreen Tobin Cardenas; two sons, JoseAngel Cardenas Jr. and Dr. Michael Cár-denas; two daughters, Christine Carde-nas Boehme and Laura CardenasSchwarz; and eight grandchildren.

ESCALATINGIMMIGRATION ATTACKS MAYNOT ONLY KILLPERRY, BUT ALSOTHE GOP’S WHITEHOUSECHANCESWhy Aren’t anyAdults in the PartyChallenging Romneyand Field as theyPander to the Ex-treme Right andAlienate Latino Vot-ers?

Washington, DC – Will they ever learn?Republican presidential contenders, es-pecially Mitt Romney, are following awell-trodden and politically perilouspath when it comes to the politics ofimmigration. They lurch hard right dur-ing the primary in search of base votersand in the process of doing so makethemselves radioactive with the fastestgrowing group of voters in the nation –Hispanics. It seems Romney and otherswant to follow the path of other politi-cal successes such as Governor MegWhitman, Governor Tom Tancredo andSenator Sharron Angle.

It is about to get worse. According

to POLITCO, a “Romney campaign re-search document coming out later high-lights similarities between Perry andObama on immigration policy…TheRomney camp tastes blood in thewater.”

According to Frank Sharry of America’sVoice, “Romney’s shameless panderingmight work to help defeat Rick Perry forthe nomination, but it also might helpdefeat Mitt Romney in the general elec-tion. The road to the White House goesthrough the Latino community, espe-cialIy in the swing states of Florida, Ne-vada, Colorado and New Mexico. It iswidely accepted that the GOP nomineewill have to win 40% of the Hispanicvote nationwide to have a chance to winthe general. If Romney continues tomake the outlandish and fact-free claimthat educating kids who came to Amer-ica in their diapers through no fault oftheir own is an incentive for illegal im-migration, he would be lucky to win20% of the Hispanic vote in 2012.”

Even more remarkable is the accusationthat Perry is a moderate on theissue. He is not. Perry is against com-prehensive immigration reform andthe federal Dream Act, spouts the sameborder-first nonsense as the other can-didates, and has pushed for harsh en-forcement-only laws in Texas. But therest of the Republican field is driving sofast and furious to the right that Perryappears moderate in comparison. Per-haps the main take away is that it is theRepublican Party that has lurched so farright on immigration that true moder-ates, such as President Ronald Reaganand President George W. Bush, wouldget booed off a Republican stage in2011. In doing so, Party leaders seemunable or unwilling to learn the lessonsof 2006, 2008, or 2010, elections inwhich tacking hard right in the primar-

ies cost Hispanic sup-port in the general.

Added Sharry, “It ap-pears the nativist in-mates are running theRepublican asylum. Ifso, where are the re-sponsible party lead-ers who know that it’sboth the right thingand the smart thing to

do to stand up to the hard-right pander-ing we’re witnessing? Are they afraidthey might get booed, too? In the faceof such ugly intolerance and hostility toLatinos in the nomination race, their si-lence is deafening.”

JOHNNY GARCIA WINS FIGHT AT CIVIC CENTER

The Dominican Baseball Guy is happy to blog that the top two pitchers onthe MLB.com list of Top 5 Latin pitchers are both Dominican. As the Do-minican Baseball Guy blogged yesterday, Pedro Martinez was voted thesecond best Latin pitcher of all-time.

And today, the voters announced the top Latin pitcher of all-time, and thehonoree is Juan Marichal.

Marichal won 191 in the 1960s, more than Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson,and Don Drysdale. He went on to win 243 games, and is probably most

well known by baseball laymen for his trademarkhigh leg kick, as pictured below. O, and just toshow how big of pansies modern day pitchers are,Marichal pitched 243 complete games and won 25games in a season three times

He is also known for the Roseboro incident in whichhe hit opposing catcher John Roseboro in the headwith a bat. This incident and the fallout has beenmythologized in a play. However, luckily the inci-dent did not define his career in the long term.

Baseball analysts and historians agree, he was thegreatest Latin pitcher of all-time. Baseball historian

Rob Ruck says, "the greatest right-hander of his era," Ruck said, "at a time

when there were great pitchers to be found."

And Marichal's peers and countrymen agree too.According to Indians manager and native DominicanManny Acta: "he was on top of the list. He was theguy."

Juan was elected to the National Baseball Hall ofFame in 1983, and he remains the only Dominicanplayer to have that honor. See his Hall of Fame pro-file.

He is still beloved by Giants fans andmemorialized in a statue in front of theGiant's San Francisco home.

He is from Laguna Verde, DR, and hetook a simple approach to the game,perhaps drawn from his life in the Do-minican Republic: I have five pitches.Fast ball, change, curve, slider, screw-ball. I don't know any hitters. Catcher,he tells me what to do. I can get anypitch I want over the plate.

NO.1 ALL-TIME LATINO PITCHER: JUAN MARICHAL

En tres semanas Rigoberto “Español” Álvarez estará acari-ciando la posibilidad de convertirse nuevamente en campeóndel mundo y reinar en la división superwelter, en la que suhermano “El Canelo” es soberano en el ámbito WBC.

Álvarez se disputará con el australiano Anthony Mundine elcinturón interino WBA (Asociación Mundial de Boxeo) el 19 deoctubre en Newcastle, Australia.

El noqueador jalisciense, de 33 años, se entrena bajo la super-visión de José “Chepo” Reynoso.

'Lanzar muchos golpes en todas direcciones me dará el triunfopor cualquier vía', afirmó Álvarez.

Hace siete meses el zurdo de Juanacatlán dejó en manos delestadounidense Austin Trout, elfajín que intentará recuperar. Enaquella ocasión Álvarez no pudosoltar sus puños con la frecuen-cia que hubiera querido.

Mundine, su rival en turno de 36años, ostentó el cetro Superme-dio WBA entre 2007 y 2008.

Rigoberto Álvarez (27-3, 20ko´s) y Anthony Mundine (42-4,25 ko´s), quienes alcanzan elmetro con 80 centímetros de es-tatura, han noqueado cada unoa más de la mitad de sus con-trincantes.

Skin expert shares his expert-ise. Despite being a perfectlynatural feature of the femaleform – you can see dimpled fleshin many Renaissance portraits –cellulite has only recently be-come an apparent ‘problem’ inwestern cultures. But for thosewho would prefer smoother skinon their thighs and bottoms, weasked cellulite expert Dr NyjonEccles of the Chiron Clinic in Lon-don’s Harley Street (www.chiron-clinic.com; 0207 224 4622) toshare his expertise on the causesand ‘cures’.

What causes cellulite?We don’t know for sure, butthere appear to be common fac-tors that combine to create theorange-peel effect: fat accumula-tion under the skin, compro-mised lymphatic drainage andreduced circulation. If you dosomething about those three fac-tors, it generally improves.

Why does it look so distinctive?The structure of the tissue on theparts of the body where womentypically find cellulite – thighs,bottom and sometimes the belly– is what predisposes women,rather than men, towards dimplyflesh. There is a lattice-shapestructure to the connective tis-sue, which is mainly made up ofcollagen and elastin, and there’smore fat in those areas [to pro-tect reproductive organs]. Build-up of fluids, reduced oxygen andincreased physical pressurecaused by the amount of fatpushes the cells through this lat-tice towards the surface wherethey therefore appear dimpled.

What can you do yourself to re-duce its appearance?Simply, increase circulation, re-duce fat accumulation and im-prove lymphatic drainage.Exercise will work on all three;you may need to do more to re-duce the factors that predisposeyou to weight gain, most obvi-ously looking at your diet. Aswell as cutting down, you shouldconsider what you eat, too. Amore alkaline diet – one that’splant based with fewer animalproducts – will reduce acidity inthe diet which increases circula-tion and improves oxygen sup-ply.

So what treatments do youthink are effective?Massage is always helpful. Sup-plements of L-carnitine may helpas it’s a fat burner. Advancedlymph drainage with pulsed lightis ten-times more efficient thanmanual lymph drainage, increas-ing oxygen into the tissues andhelping unblock lymph while im-proving circulation. Many clinicsuse pulsed electricity that openspores in the skin to force activeingredients deep below the sur-face where they can be more ef-fective. As for shop-boughttopical treatments, they’ll have asuperficial hydrating effect thatmay reduce s uperficial dimpling.But I’d be sceptical that therewould be a significant effect on along-term basis.

El secreto para combatir la celuli-tis está en conocer más acerca deesta patología que afecta sola-mente a las mujeres. Y, porsupuesto, en modificar algunoshábitos, no sólo alimentarios sinotambién de nuestra vida cotidi-ana.El agua, fuente vital1. El 70 por ciento de nuestrocuerpo es líquido. El líquido queno eliminamos no va al cerebro,al pulmón o al hígado. Va a lascélulas grasas y las inflama. Estainflamación se llama celulitis.2. La celulitis es toxinas, materialde desecho y grasa no metabo-lizada. Para eliminar toxinas,bebe agua.3. Durante una dieta de-tox bebe2 vasos de agua mineral antes dela comida principal. (¡No! Tomarlíquido y tomar agua no es lomismo. ¡Prefiere el agua!)4. Bebe hasta 3 litros de aguapor día. Más no porque puedesdesmineralizarte.5. La celulitis no aparece de lanoche a la mañana. No pre-tendas erradicarla de la noche ala mañana. 6. Si vas a hacer dieta, no ex-ageres eliminando por completolos carbohidratos. Puede pro-ducirte “ketosis”, que causa debil-idad.7. La dieta de los atletas consisteen un 60 por ciento de carbo-hidratos “complejos”. Estos in-cluyen: verduras, frutas ycereales en grano, como la avenay el arroz.

Cocina

Cuántas veces hemos preferido sacrificaruna comida en toda regla para tenertiempo y poder ir a hacer un poco de gim-nasia, leer un libro, ver una buena películao, por qué no, para seguir jugando a lascartas. En esta circunstancia se encontrabaprecisamente el cuarto conde de Sándwich,jugador empedernido de naipes, cuando undía, el camarero de su club social le anun-ció que su carne estaba servida, a lo que elaristócrata respondió rápidamente: “¡Puesque me la traigan entre dos rebanadas depan!”. Y así, de esta curiosa manera, fuecomo nació el sabroso sándwich que todosconocemos hoy.

EL PAN Lo habitual es preparar los sándwiches conpan de miga o pan de molde pero, cuidado,porque si viajamos a otros países, comonuestra vecina Francia, veremos que sellama sándwich a lo que nosotros llamamosbocadillo. Por lo tanto, si lo que queremoses un sándwich de pan de molde propia-mente dicho, deberemos especificarlo.

Podemos preparar sándwiches más ligerosa partir de pan con fibra (tiene un poder sa-ciante mayor), que rellenaremos, por ejem-plo, con pavo y manzanas. Aparte del panque se encuentra previamente cortado enmuchas panaderías, se puede utilizar elpan de molde entero, que haremos cortar anuestro gusto, más fino o más grueso. Lasrebanadas más anchas resultan idóneaspara sándwiches que pensamos servirtostados.

LA PRESENTACIÓN Aparte de presentar los sándwiches en laforma tradicional, en triángulos, cuadradosy rectángulos sobre una fuente o plato,también existen otras posibilidades:- Si se va a servir a niños, le sugerimos quecomponga una casita colocando dos pilasjuntas de sándwiches rectangulares cubier-tos con algunos de forma triangular coloca-dos encima, a modo de tejado. Con unpoco de mantequilla blanda puesta en lamanga pastelera podrá dibujar las ventanaso las puertas de la casita.

- También puede sacar, cortando con uncuchillo bien afilado, la miga de un pan demolde entero, dejando hueco el interior.Luego cortará esa miga en cuadrados pe-queños que, posteriormente volverá a in-troducir en el pan de molde. Así, el mismopan le servirá como original caja de pre-sentación. - Otra forma muy habitual es presentar el

pan sin los bordes. Podrá encontrarlopreparado ya de esta manera en tiendas ysupermercados.

MAKE HEALTHIER SANDWICHES:

- Use low-fat or fat-free lunch meats. Theyare good in sandwiches or cut into stripson top of a salad.- Buy leaner meats, such as turkey, chickenor veggie dogs.- Put leftover chicken or turkey strips in atortilla to make a cold fajita (add strips ofraw red and green peppers and onions).Use fat-free sour cream as a dressing.- Stuff a pita-bread "pocket" with vegeta-bles, fat-free cheese and bits of leftovergrilled chicken.- Cut up vegetables such as onion, carrot,celery and green peppers to add to tunasalad. Mix vegetables and water-packedtuna with fat-freemayonnaise or, fora different taste,mix with a fat-freesalad dressing.- Chunky bits ofleftover chickenmixed with fat-freemayonnaise,raisins, shreddedcarrots and slicedalmonds is a greatchicken salad.- Serve it in a pita-bread pocket. Topit with salsa for aSouthwestern fla-vor.
