ABOARD THE PAPALPLANE, Feb. 18, 2016(AP): Asked about DonaldTrump’s views on immi-gration, Pope Francis saidThursday that anyone whowants to build a wall alongthe U.S.-Mexican borderisn’t Christian.

Trump, a leading U.S.Republican presidentialcandidate, has promised tobuild a wall along theMexican border fromTexas to California andexpel 11 million peoplewho are in the countrywithout documentation ifelected president. ThePope’s comments en routehome from Mexico camehours after he prayed at theMexico-U.S. border forpeople who died trying toreach the United States.

“A person who thinksonly about building walls,wherever they may be, andnot building bridges, is notChristian,” Francis said.“This is not in the Gospel.”

Not having heardTrump’s border plans in-dependently, Francis saidhe’d “give him the benefitof the doubt.” But headded:

“I’d just say that thisman is not Christian if he

A BORDO DEL AVIÓNPAPAL, 18 II 16 (AP): El papaFrancisco decidió entrar alacalorado debate electoralestadounidense cuando eljueves dijo que DonaldTrump “no es cristiano” sipiensa sólo construir un muroa lo largo de la frontera entreMéxico y Estados Unidos.

De manera inmediata,Trump respondió ferozmentediciendo que es“vergonzoso” para un líderreligioso el cuestionar la fe deuna persona.

Éste inusual ida y vueltaentre un papa y un candidatopresidencial es el últimoepisodio de una extrañacontienda presidencialencendida por una retóricasin control y especialmentepor las controvertidaspropuestas de Trump en ma-teria migratoria.

Las declaraciones de Fran-cisco se produjeron horasdespués de que concluyerauna visita de cinco días aMéxico, donde oró en lafrontera por los migrantes quehan muerto en su intento porllegar a Estados Unidos.

Cuando iba camino aRoma, y en una charla conperiodistas a bordo del aviónpapal, a Francisco se lepreguntó acerca de la promesade campaña de Trump deconstruir un muro fronterizoy de expulsar a millones depersonas que viven en losEstados Unidos sinautorización legal.

“Una persona que sólopiensa en la construcción demuros, dondequiera que seencuentren, y no laconstrucción de puentes, noes cristiano”, dijo Francisco.“Eso no está en el Evangelio”.

El pontífice dijo que comono había escuchado laspropuestas políticas deTrump de manera directa,habría que “darle el beneficiode la duda”. Sin embargo,agregó: “sólo digo que estehombre no es un cristiano, silo dijo de esa manera”.

Trump, que espresbiteriano y lidera lacarrera a la Casa Blanca porel Partido Republicano,respondió en cuestión deminutos, durante un acto de

said it this way.”Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, an-

other Republican presi-dential contender, has alsosupported building a bor-der wall, and joked that hewill make Trump pay for it.

Trump, a Presbyterian,last week criticizedFrancis’ plans to pray atthe border. He said themove was ill-informed andshowed Francis to be a po-litical figure being ex-ploited by the Mexicangovernment.

“I don’t think he under-stands the danger of the openborder that we have withMexico,” Trump said in aninterview with Fox News. “Ithink Mexico got him to doit because they want to keepthe border just the way it is.They’re making a fortune,and we’re losing.”

Asked if he felt he wasbeing used as a pawn ofMexico, Francis said hedidn’t know.

“I leave that judgmentto you, the people.”

But he seemed quitepleased to hear that Trumphad called him a “politi-cal” figure, noting thatAristotle had described thehuman being as a “politi-cal animal.”

campaña en Kiawah Island,Carolina del Sur.

“Ningún líder,especialmente un líderreligioso, debe tener elderecho a cuestionar lareligión o la fe de otrohombre”, dijo. “Estánutilizando al papa como unpeón y deberíanavergonzarse de sí mismospor hacerlo, sobre todocuando se trata de tantasvidas y cuando lainmigración ilegal es tanabierta”.

También dijo que elgobierno mexicano lo habíadesprestigiado ante el papay dijo que si al grupo EstadoIslámico se le ocurre atacar alVaticano, “les puedoprometer que el papa sólohabría deseado y rogado queDonald Trump hubiese sidoel Presidente (de EstadosUnidos) porque esto nohabría sucedido”.

Más tarde, elmultimillonario magnate dela finca raíz dijo que era“totalmente respetuoso” delpapa, pero que no seretractaba de su respuesta.

Francisco, el primer papalatinoamericano, ha sido unelocuente defensor de unapolítica de inmigración máscompasiva. Durante unavisita que hizo a Washing-ton el año pasado,dirigiéndose a la plenaria delCongreso de Estados Unidos,el papa instó a loslegisladores a tratar a losinmigrantes “de manerahumana, justa y fraterna”.

En el mismo viaje, losllamados de Francisco aactuar globalmente en con-tra del cambio climáticotambién irritaron a losrepublicanos. Suscomentarios provocaronque algunos candidatospresidenciales del GrandOld Party (o GOP, comotambién se le conoce alPartido Republicano)pidieran al pontífice que nose involucrase en asuntospolíticos.

La inmigración es uno delos temas más polémicos dela política estadounidense.Los republicanos se hanmovido hacia una posición

de línea dura que hace énfasisen hacer cumplir las leyes ymejorar la seguridadfronteriza. En 2013, estepartido bloqueó un intentopor aprobar una ley que lehabría dado un camino a lalegalización y a la ciudadaníaa 11 millones de inmigrantesque viven sin autorizaciónlegal en el país.

Los hispanos, una franja devotantes en constantecrecimiento y con un altoíndice de votación en laselecciones presidenciales, hanvotado a los demócratas en losúltimos años. El presidenteBarack Obama obtuvo más del70% de su apoyo en laselecciones de 2012, lo quellevó a que algunos líderesrepublicanos concluyeran quepara recobrar la Casa Blancatenían que convertirse en unpartido mucho más atractivo aeste grupo de votantes.

Sin embargo, la principalcorriente del GOP ha estadodominada por una retóricacada vez más dura en materiamigratoria, con Trump a lacabeza. El precandidato hainsistido en que México debepagar por el muro fronterizo yque algunos mexicanos queentran a Estados Unidos demanera ilegal son asesinos yvioladores.

Aunque la retórica deTrump ha sido una de las másincendiarias, sus rivales en elpartido han asumidoposiciones similares. Elsenador de Texas, Ted Cruz, yel neurocirujano retirado BenCarson, se encuentran entrequiénes han pedidoexplícitamente construir lavalla fronteriza.

El ex gobernador deFlorida Jeb Bush, uno de lospocos candidatosrepublicanos que proponen uncamino hacia la legalizaciónde quienes ya se encuentranen Estados Unidos de manerailegal, dijo el jueves que apoya“los muros y las vallas cuandoes apropiado”. Bush dijo queaunque “como católico” siguelas orientaciones del papa, nosigue las prédicas de Franciscosobre temas de “políticaeconómica o ambiental”.

Marco Rubio, otrocandidato católico que

también busca lanominación del PartidoRepublicano, dijo que sila Ciudad del Vaticanotiene derecho a controlarsus fronteras, lo mismopuede hacer EstadosUnidos.

Rubio dijo que siente“un enorme respeto yadmiración” por el papapero agregó: “no haynación en la tierra quetenga más compasión conel tema migratorio quenosotros”.

Cruz dijo que se queríamantener alejado de estacontroversia. “Eso es entreDonald y el papa”, dijo.“No voy a interferir entreellos”.

No está claro quéimpacto, si lo tendrá, van atener las declaraciones delpapa en la contiendarepublicana. Una encuestade octubre realizada porThe Associated Press y elNORC Center for PublicAffairs encontró que lamayoría de losestadounidenses no tienenuna posición definidaacerca de las posturas deFrancisco en asuntosmigratorios, aunque, entérminos generales, esvisto con buenos ojos.

Trump ya habíacriticado la semana pasadael plan de Francisco de oraren la frontera, como lo hizoen Ciudad Juárez elmiércoles. Dijo que hacerlono es una buena decisión,que estaba basada eninformación errónea, y dijoque Francisco era unafigura política que estabasiendo explotada por elgobierno mexicano.

Cuando se le preguntó aFrancisco si sentía queestaba siendo utilizado porel gobierno de México, Fran-cisco dijo que no lo sabía.“Eso lo dejo al juicio deustedes, de la gente”, dijo.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19,2016: Like clockwork, when-ever Bernie Sanders gets hitfor his vote against a 2007immigration bill — whichHillary Clinton’s campaignhas cited in an attempt to makehis immigration record an is-sue — Sanders begins by say-ing that LULAC (the League ofUnited Latin American Citi-zens) opposed the legislationtoo.

At the time the group said,“LULAC cannot support a billthat will separate families andlead to the exploitation of im-migrant workers,” pointing to,as Sanders has, guest workerprovisions that it found to bemorally wrong.

But LULAC eventuallydropped its opposition to thefilibuster of the bill, hoping,like other Latino and immi-grant groups such as NCLR,that it could be improved inthe House.

So how does the group feelabout Sanders using them as ashield to protect him from at-tacks on the vote? It turns outthey’re annoyed with Clintonfor making Sanders’ vote anissue.

“I really think it’s unfair forHillary to make an issue of thatvote,” LULAC executive di-rector Brent Wilkes toldBuzzFeed News. “I don’t re-ally know, it’s hard to separateHillary’s record from [BillClinton’s]. The Clintons, whenthey were in office, weren’texactly friends to immigrants.”

Wilkes said that, at the time,President Bush was saying that“temporary means temporary”

CIUDAD JUAREZ,México, 18 II 16 (AP): El papaFrancisco cerró su visita decinco días a México con unmensaje de amor y compasiónpara el pueblo y los migrantesque atraviesan el país caminode Estados Unidos. Para loslíderes políticos y religiososde México, el viaje fue másbien una lección en amor duro.

El pontífice utilizó suestancia para criticar a la clasedirigente mexicana por noproteger a la gente de lasbandas criminales y lacorrupción rampante, yreprendió a los obispos paraque se acercaran más a su greyy aliviaran su sufrimiento.También visitó a algunos delos más pobres del país y suszonas más violentas parallamar la atención sobre la durarealidad de sus habitantes.

El miércoles, último día dela gira, se produjo el momentomás simbólico y audaz desdeel punto de vista político,cuando cientos de miles depersonas se reunieron en unrecinto ferial de Ciudad Juárezmientras unos 30.000espectadores seguían laretransmisión en directo en unestadio de fútbol en El Paso,Texas, al otro lado del ríoBravo (conocido como ríoGrande en Estados Unidos).

Francisco también intentóenviar un mensaje al otro ladode la frontera, donde lacampaña electoral adopta cadavez un tono más duro sobre lainmigración en EstadosUnidos.

El pontífice pidió a losgobiernos que abrieran sucorazón a la “tragediahumana” de la migraciónforzosa. “íNo más muerte! íNomás explotación!”, imploró.

Francisco no pidióabiertamente que EstadosUnidos abra su frontera, peropidió que se reconozca que losque huyen de la extorsión ylos asesinatos de pandillas ensus países son víctimas.

“No podemos negar la cri-sis humanitaria que en losúltimos años ha significado lamigración de miles de perso-nas, ya sea por tren, porcarretera e incluso a pie,atravesando cientos dekilómetros por montañas,desiertos, caminosinhóspitos”, afirmó. “Sonhermanos y hermanas quesalen expulsados por la

when it came to the guest work-ers staying in the country, ineffect making the workers sec-ond-class citizens vulnerableto exploitation.

“We thought it was crueland would lead to bracero-like abuses,” he said, pointingto the 1940s program thatbrought in millions of Mexi-can nationals, who were in turntreated badly. Many were even-tually deported in the infamous“Operation Wetback.”

Wilkes said that NCLR, ledby Cecilia Muñoz at the time,who is now a top Obama offi-cial, leaned on LULAC to sup-port ending the filibuster, “butthere was a difference of opin-ion over whether it could beimproved” in the House.

Janet Murguía, the presi-dent of NCLR, said her organi-zation understood at the timethat any stalling would kill thebill, and they thought it hadenough positive elements thatmade it worth moving forward.

“You could argue that whatwe had in that bill could havesaved a lot of people from theagony and pain of having noaction,” she said, referring toseparated families in the fol-lowing years.

The Democratic candi-dates’ immigration records hadbecome a source of contentionin the final days leading up toNevada’s caucus on Feb. 20,2016, because of the personaland economic importance ofimmigration in the lives of resi-dents in the state.

At the MSNBC/Telemundo Democratic townhall on Thursday, Clinton made

a major shift, signaling thatshe would seek to introduceimmigration legislation in thefirst 100 days of her presi-dency, language that she hadpreviously staunchlyavoided.

On Friday, her campaignsent out a tough email, con-trasting the way Sandersspeaks about his 2007 immi-gration vote now with how heexplained the bill’s defeat atthe time.

“At a time when the middleclass is shrinking, poverty isincreasing and millions ofAmericans are workinglonger hours for lower wagesit makes no sense to me tohave an immigration billwhich, over a period of years,would bring millions of ‘guestworkers’ into this country whoare prepared to work for lowerwages than American work-ers. We need to increase wagesin this country, not lowerthem,” Sanders said in a pressrelease at the time.

“We need an immigrationpolicy which addresses thevery serious problems of ille-gal immigration, continuesour historic support of legalimmigration, but protects theshrinking middle class,” heconcluded.

At the town hall on Thurs-day Sanders said he votedagainst the legislation for anumber of reasons.

“But I will tell you one ofthem, included in that legis-lation was a guestworker pro-vision which organizationssaw as almost akin to slavery,”he said.

pobreza y la violencia, elnarcotráfico y el crimenorganizado”.

“Es un mensaje dirigido atodos, desde las autoridadeshasta nosotros mismos comopersonas, y los americanosigual. Para que reciban a losinmigrantes y los vean comoson, personas igual que ellos”,comentó Natalia HerreraMiranda, vecina de Juárez.

Antes de la misa, Franciscohizo una parada en la fronterapara ofrecer una plegariasilenciosa en memoria de losmigrantes que murieronintentando llegar a EstadosUnidos. También bendijo avarios cientos de migrantessentados al otro lado de la cerca.

Angelica Ortiz, una de lasinvitadas a estar en el ladoestadounidense, dijo habersemarchado de Ciudad Juárezporque los narcotraficanteshabían amenazado la vida desu hijo, y ahora vive en El Pasotras obtener asilo.

“Estoy abrumada por laemoción, mucha emoción. Medesmoronaría si hablo más”,dijo tras el acto.

Ése fue el momento másemotivo del viaje, pero Fran-cisco empezó a dar que hablarantes incluso de aterrizar enMéxico.

En su vuelo desde elVaticano, el papa hizo primerouna parada en La Habana paraun encuentro y un abrazohistóricos con el patriarca Kirillde la Iglesia ortodoxa rusa, elprimer encuentro de esta claseentre los líderes de las doscomunidades desde el cismaque dividió a la cristiandadhace un milenio.

Una vez en México, Fran-cisco pareció ir un paso máslejos de las críticas amablesque suele hacer el pontífice ensus viajes al extranjero, y llamóal orden a los poderosos deMéxico una y otra vez.

En su primer día completoen el país, Francisco dijo en undiscurso en el Palacio Nacionalante el presidente, EnriquePeña Nieto, y otros miembrosdel gobierno que los cargospúblicos deben ser honestos yno verse seducidos por elprivilegio y la corrupción.

Después hizo una directaintervención ante sus propiosobispos, en la que les pidió quefueran auténticos pastores, noclérigos centrados en su carreraque ofrecen críticas inofensivas

como “el balbucear dehuérfanos como al sepulcro”.

El papa dijo que la Iglesiano necesita “príncipes”, sinouna comunidad de “testigosde Dios”.

Después se desplazó aEcatepec, un duro suburbiode México, donde condenó alos traficantes de drogascomo “traficantes de muerte”e instó a los mexicanos aresistir la tentación deldinero. Dos días más tarderepitió un mensaje similar enel estado de Michoacán,marcado por la violencia,donde dijo a los jóvenes queJesús “nunca nos invitaría aser sicarios”.

En el empobrecido estadode Chiapas, en el sur deMéxico, Francisco denunciólos siglos de explotación yexclusión sufridos por losindígenas mexicanos.También oró ante la tumbade un clérigo que convirtióen su misión la protección delos indígenas, a menudochocando con la jerarquía dela Iglesia en el proceso.

Los analistas señalaronque las acciones, palabras yelección de actividades delpapa indican que cree quetanto la Iglesia como elgobierno en México hanfallado a los más pobres yvulnerables del país.

“El papa de verdad creeque el diablo anda suelto enMéxico, sembrando muerte,miseria y resignación, y quecree que el estado, la Iglesiay los narcotraficantes soncómplices”, dijo AndrewChesnut, presidente deestudios católicos en laUniversidad Virginia Com-monwealth. “Cree queMéxico, con la segundapoblación católica másgrande del mundo, pasa poruna grave crisis moral ypolítica, y que la Iglesia debeconvertirse en un agenteactivo para construir unMéxico más justo”.

LANSING, Mich., Feb. 18,2016 (AP): State and federalofficials acted to send morehelp to Flint to deal with itslead-contamination crisis, asthe Michigan House ap-proved $30 million on Thurs-day to help pay residents’water bills and Gov. RickSnyder announced a $2 mil-lion grant to help the cityreplace some of its pipes.

The federal governmentis giving $500,000 to twohealth centers that are treat-ing and testing Flint residentsexposed to the lead-taintedwater.

That aid comes as a newcongressional report by thenonpartisan CongressionalResearch Service said theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency waited too long totake enforcement action af-ter learning of elevated leadlevels in Flint’s tap water.The EPA says it urged aquicker state and local re-sponse.

Snyder, who has apolo-gized for his administration’srole in the lead contamina-tion, credited lawmakers forworking to get funding to thecity quickly.

“Flint residents shouldnot have to pay for water theycannot drink,” Snyder saidafter House lawmakers unani-mously approved the $30million to help pay about 65percent of the drinkable wa-ter portion of their bills. Resi-dential customers would stillhave to pay for water used toflush toilets or do laundry.

The measure now goesto the Senate, which is ex-pected to approve it andsend it to the governor forhis signature.

Snyder also announcedthat the $2 million to helpFlint replace some of its leadpipes should happen within

Detroit, MI: El pasadomiércoles 17 de febrero [2016],el juez concedió una fianza de10 mil dólares a Roger Tam,dueño de la casa en dondemurieron cinco trabajadoresmexicanos, debido a unincendio ocurrido en Novi.Además, se le revocó supasaporte por el riesgo de fuga,y él tendrá que pagar por elmonitoreo electrónico que sele hará.

El Gobierno federal deMichigan anunció, el pasado12 de febrero, cargos criminalesen contra de Roger Tam poralbergar a los cinco inmigrantesindocumentados, incluyendotres adolescentes, a quieneshospedaba en su casa con lacondición de trabajar en surestaurante Kim’s Garden enturnos de 12 horas, seis días a lasemana, con comida chinaincluida mientras trabajaban,por un sueldo de $2000 dólaresal mes, el cual era pagado enefectivo.

En comunicado de prensa,David Molloy, Jefe de Policíay Director de Seguridad Públicade la Ciudad de Novi, dijosentirse orgulloso por el trabajoque realizó el equipo deprofesionales eninvestigación. “En todos losaños que llevo aplicando laley, nunca había sido testigode tal falta de respeto a la vidahumana. Tanto la salud, laseguridad y el bienestar de losresidentes y negocios en Novison nuestra principalpreocupación, actividadescomo éstas no se tolerarán yserán procesados con todo elrigor de la ley”.

“Mi inmediata percepciónes que esta trágica pérdida devidas pudo haberse evitado”,dijo Marlon Miller, AgenteEspecialista a cargo de Home-land Security Investigation(HSI) en Detroit. “HSI secompromete a investigar aquienes albergan inmigrantes

the next 30 days. The governorsaid the pipe project will startwith priority lead lines, withthe help of estimates from theLansing Board of Water andLight, which has replacedmuch of Lansing’s lead pipingin the past.

The new funding wouldpay for pipe replacement inseveral hundred homes, but theFlint City Council and thecity’s chief financial officer stillhave to take action to receivethe grant funding.

Flint’s tap water is contami-nated with lead because thecity for 18 months used waterfrom the Flint River withoutreducing corrosiveness. Thewater leached lead from oldhome plumbing. If consumed,lead can cause developmentaldelays and learning disabili-ties in children.

Environmental regulatorsin Snyder’s administration re-peatedly downplayed thethreat until Flint doctors lastfall pounded the table withresults of lead tests from chil-dren.

Snyder, asked about his rolein the events that led up to thewater crisis, provided an im-passioned response Thursday,saying he wants “to fix thisproblem” and that he is “tryingto stand up and take responsi-bility like our value systemsays we should.”

The Congressional Re-search Service report, mean-while, said the EPA did not useits emergency powers to pro-tect human health until Janu-ary—nine months after offi-cials became aware of watercontamination in Flint. It saysstates have first-line enforce-ment responsibilities, but theEPA is required to take en-forcement action if a violationcontinues 30 days after theagency notifies the state andwater utility of an infraction.

EPA officials said theagency worked within theframework of the law to “re-peatedly and urgently com-municate” steps that the stateof Michigan and city of Flintneeded to take to properlytreat Flint’s water. A spokes-woman said the EPA’s abil-ity to oversee the situationwas limited by “resistanceand failures at the state andlocal levels to work with EPAin a forthright, transparentand proactive manner.”

Snyder has said he’s hope-ful that the federal govern-ment will expand Medicaidcoverage to people under 21and pregnant women whohave been exposed to Flint’swater. He said it could ben-efit about 15,000 people.

The money being ap-proved for Flint water billswould provide a credit for theestimated portion of the wa-ter that has been or will beused for drinking, cookingor bathing from 2014 untilthis spring, when officialshope the water is declaredsafe to drink again without afilter.

Some Democrats say thestate should pay for more than65 percent of residents’ bills.Rep. Sheldon Neeley, D-Flint,offered an amendment todouble the figure to $60 mil-lion during the House ses-sion Wednesday. But the pro-posal couldn’t get sufficientsupport in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

“To make Flint’s resi-dents pay for even 1 percentof their poisoned water is aterrible mistake,” Neeley saidin a statement.

Associated Press writersMatt Daly in Washington,D.C., and Mike Householderin Flint, Michigan, contrib-uted to this report.

Arturo Quintero has spentan entire career helping others,but not wanting to draw atten-tion to himself or his efforts.

But his friends and col-leagues in city governmentpaid him homage anyway.

The Toledo Hispanic Af-fairs Commission (HAC) metThursday, Feb. 18, 2016 at theCinco de Mayo Restaurant onAirport Hwy. for its regularmeeting, as well as to honorMr. Quintero for his long pub-lic service career.

“There is not anyone in thisroom he has not touched,” saidLisa Canales, HAC chairper-son. “We know you didn’t wantthis, but you have just been soamazing to so many people. Ijust want to thank you for allyou have done. You have beena true leader in the Latino com-munity.”

Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson presented Quinterowith a proclamation in honorof his 30-plus year career incity government. MayorHicks-Hudson recalled firstmeeting Quintero when shewas a legal aid lawyer and hewas working at Advocates forBasic Legal Equality (ABLE).

“You have always been atireless advocate for those whodidn’t have a voice,” said themayor. “You’ve always been

one to strive for excellenceand have foresight, and dowhat it means to be a goodlawyer and know that involvesgive-and-take, but alwayslooking for justice and alwayslooking for fairness. I have justalways been proud to knowyou. It’s going to be a big holefor us in the city.”

Mayor Hicks-Hudson cred-ited Quintero for writing thelegislation that created theHispanic Affairs Commission,which drew applause from thosein attendance. The proclama-tion read, in part, “this remark-able individual whose knowl-edge and work ethic has beenan inspiration to all employ-ees and a tremendous benefitto all citizens in the city ofToledo.”

Linda Alvarado-Arce, ex-ecutive director of the ToledoBoard of Community Rela-tions, also presented him witha framed 1997 edition of LaPrensa, which has a front pagearticle on Quintero as the “high-est ranking Hispanic in citygovernment” when he was atop administrator for then-mayor Carty Finkbeiner.

“I expected less people tobe there. They told me they’djust bring a cake and have asmall celebration,” Quinterosaid. “Obviously it turned out

to be a lot more for them—andfor me. It felt good. There werea lot of good people there thatI have been with before, haveworked with. I think it was avery nice send off.”

Quintero, 69, plans to stayvery busy in retirement, expandhis volunteer activities, as wellas travel the country with hiswife Gail, continue to ride bi-cycles and motorcycles, andpursue his passion for photog-raphy. Myrtle Beach andFlorida are on the immediatedestination list.

“I’ve been telling peoplemy volunteer work and myhobbies were getting in the wayof my real work,” he joked. “Iguess my volunteer work andhobbies won out.”

Quintero remains very ac-tive with the Sofia QuinteroArt and Cultural Center(SQACC), serving as the non-profit group’s unofficial pho-tographer, as well as many otherroles. He plans to remain activewith SQACC, doing whateverhe can to help Joe Balderasmaintain the grounds, commu-nity gardens, and the center’sequipment.

“I want to compete with Joe[Balderas] to see how manywoodworking tools I can getmy hands on,” he said with alaugh. “I’m going to ease my-

self in there, because Iknow Joe is pretty territo-rial. Whatever the build-ings need, I want to workwith Joe as much as pos-sible.”

He may combine someactivities—for example,biking through naturewith a camera.

“We’ll see where itgoes. I like photograph-ing people. I like photograph-ing landscapes,” he said.

Quintero also promisedhimself he would volunteer atthe Toledo VA Clinic on S.Detroit Ave. and already hasan orientation scheduled withVeteran’s Administration staffnext week.

“I told them I would doanything they wanted. I woulddrive the bus, if that’s whatthey wanted, help clean up thebuilding,” he said. “They’regoing to put me in the front atthe beginning. They want tosee if I can work with theirlegal clinic.”

Quintero plans to maintainhis law license and has al-ready met his continuing le-gal education requirements forthe year. He stated he’ll “playit by ear to see what comesalong” with the VA.

The retired prosecutor alsoplans to become more activewith Ss. Peter and Paul Catho-lic Church, telling FatherMolina he would coordinatewith long-time office managerMary Torres on what kind ofrole he could play to help pa-rishioners.

Quintero and his wife Gailcelebrated their 20th weddinganniversary last August. Thecouple used to go on medicalmissions—once to Hondurasand five times to the Domini-can Republic. They intend toget back to their missionarywork in the coming years.

Quintero has held any num-ber of positions within To-ledo city government over thepast 30 years, most recently as

an assistant prosecutor in To-ledo Municipal Court for thepast decade. Prior to that, heserved as a special projectscommissioner in the publicutilities department, a seniorattorney in the law department,but started his municipal gov-ernment career as the execu-tive officer to Mayor CartyFinkbeiner, duties which in-cluded overseeing the YouthCommission, Board of Com-munity Relations, and the Of-fice of Affirmative Action, aswell as crafting legislation andsupervising the mayor’s officestaff, among other duties.

The former Marine servedtwo tours of duty in the Viet-nam War, earning three PurpleHearts, a presidential unit cita-tion, and a combat action rib-bon. When he returned state-side, he graduated from theUniversity of Toledo in 1975with a history degree focusingon Latin American studies, thenreturned to UT to earn his lawdegree in 1978.

Quintero began his careeras the program coordinator forVets for Veterans, whichworked to help Vietnam veter-ans and others assimilate backinto civilian life and obtainmilitary benefits.

Prior to his city service,Quintero held a number of postsat ABLE, first as a staff attorneyin the migrant farm worker di-vision. He became the agency’smanaging attorney in 1983, apost he held for about a yearbefore becoming executive di-rector at Mexican-AmericansUnited for Health, which was

known as the Toledo FamilyHealth Center.

A little more than five yearslater, Quintero became the as-sociate director of the North-west Ohio Psychiatric Hospi-tal, where he was second-in-command to the CEO until hewas hired by the mayor in1996.

HAC board memberspresent also included: Mario S.Vargas, Josh Flores, DonatoIorio, and Hernán Vásquez.Others in attendance included:Denise Alvarado, RosalindaContreraz-Harris, LindaAlvarado-Arce, RaquelMartínez, Lulu Perales, LindaParra, Graciela Lerma,Guisselle Mendoza, CarlosRuiz, Tanya Durán, GaryJohnson, attorney Roman Arce,Lulu Perales, David Ibarra,Ursula Barrera-Richards,Silvia Jiménez, LauraAlvarado, and Rico Neller.

“What we want you to knowis that we are here for you,” saidMs. Canales. “We want to take alook at anything to do with em-ployment, education, immigra-tion, community outreach—soif there’s any of that that you’rehaving, please let us know. Weare here for you. We want tosupport all the other Latinos. Wewant to have one voice. Pleaseknow that is our mission.”

The HAC already has twovacancies due to the recentresignations of Louis Escobarand John Escobar. Toledo’smayor makes appointments tothe seven-member commis-sion, which are then conformedby Toledo City Council.

NUEVA YORK, 18 II16 (AP): Ningún nombreresuena tanto en Holly-wood en este momentocomo “Chivo”.

Ése es el apodo delafamado director dec i n e m a t o g r a f í amexicano EmmanuelLubezki , cuyosacrobáticos planossecuencia y luminosasimágenes hechas con luznatural le han merecidoadmiración como a muypocos y quizás le den sutercer Oscar consecutivo.

Lubezki está detrás dealgunas de las fotografíasmás deslumbrantes delcine en los últimos años:la tormenta de asteroidesprecipitándose por elvasto espacio tridimen-sional de “Gravity”, elaparente plano secuenciaentre los bastidores deun teatro en “Birdman”,la belleza elemental delos filmes de TerrenceMalick. Sus secuenciasaudaces en tiempo reallo han hecho sinónimode una magia nunca an-tes vista en la granpantalla.

“Creo que fue JohnHuston el que dijo,‘cuando fi lmo unaballena, le filmo la cara yluego corto y filmo lacola. Y todo el mundoentiende que hay unaballena”’, dijo Lubezki.“Pero a veces cuando unomuestra la ballenacompleta y muestrapartes que no parecen tanimportantes, hay unaconexión más profunda”.

Tras ganar Premios dela Academia los últimosdos años por “Gravity”de Alfonso Cuarón y“Birdman” de AlejandroGonzález Iñárri tu,Lubezki compite esteaño con el épico westernde Iñárri tu “TheRevenant”, y se esperaque se lleve el premio.Gran parte de los elogiosque recibió el filme (elmás nominado del añocon 12 candidaturas)fueron por su exuberanteinmersión en una crudaselva en el siglo XIX (serodó mayormente en lasMontañas Rocallosascanadienses) y por sussofist icados planossecuencias, en especialen la escena del ataquedel oso.

Y Lubezki es tanmodesto como grandiosaes la cinematografía de“The Revenant”.

“No sé si soy unfotógrafo increíble perodefinitivamente soy unartesano que trata deencontrar un lenguajepara cada proyecto y esoes lo que realmente me

emociona”,d i j orecientementea la AP, eni n g l é s .“Cuandou n osiente quefunciona,e lsentimientoes muypoderoso. A veces uno nipuede dormir por laemoción”.

Lubezki ha trabajado conlos hermanos Coen (“BurnAfter Reading’’), MichaelMann (“Ali’’) y Tim Burton(“Sleepy Hollow’’). Pero losdos directores con los queha colaborado másincondicionalmente sonMalick (“Él me haimpactado casi más quenadie’’, dice Lubezki) yCuarón.

Lubezki y Cuarón seconocieron de adolescentesmientras estudiaban cine enla Ciudad de México. Jun-tos, frecuentaban un cine dearte y ensayo y veíanpelículas de AkiraKurosawa, AndreiTarkovsky y Francis FordCoppola que a veces sep r o y e c t a b a naccidentalmente en copiasque pantalla completa quemostraban equipos derodaje como micrófonos deboom y luces.

Lubezki, quieninicialmente quería serfotógrafo, se pasó a cine auna semana de empezar susestudios. Cuarón lorecuerda como un matrimo-nio orgánico: “Él y el medioeran uno”.

“Le fascinaba la luz”,dijo Cuarón. “Lo que haceque esté entre los grandesdirectores decinematografía es queentiende el cine comolenguaje. El modoconvencional de ver lacinematografía es solo unjuego de herramientas”.

En cintas como “Y tumamá también” de 2001 y“Children of Men” de 2006,Cuarón y Lubezki lograronmaravillosas tomas largas yfluidas utilizando cámarasdigitales más pequeñas yaprovechando laflexibilidad del Steadicam.

“Recuerdo que en ‘Y tumamá también’ empezamosdiciendo que la toma debíadurar hasta la consecuencianatural”, dijo Cuarón.“Supongo que desdeentonces fue muy difícilvolver atrás”.

Lubezki ha estado alfrente de una tendencia quefavorece el realismo visceralde las tomas largas sobre elmontaje. Cineastas comoSteve McQueen (“12 Yearsa Slave’’) y Cary Fukunaga(“True Detective’’) también

han ido más allá de losmíticos planos secuenciade ``Touch of Evil’’(“Sombras del mal’’) deOrson Welles o ``Rope’’(“La soga’’) de AlfredHitchcock.

Tales hazañas puedencaer en la ostentación, peroen las manos de Lubezkipueden seri m p a c t a n t e m e n t eenvolventes, presentadasa través de una nítidaventana digital. Escenascomo la emboscadaindígena de la compañíade tramperos al principiode “The Revenant” sedesarrollan en tiempo real,directamente en el mediode una tormenta de acciónde 360 grados. El tensosilencio previo, el caos dela batalla y la retirada dequienes huyen por el ríotranscurren sin un solopestañeo.

Lubezki advierte que“este maravilloso truco”siempre debe encajar conel material (en “ElPadrino”, apunta, seríadesastroso) y que dependede un director que sepacómo cerrar la escena. Perosí percibe un cambio en ellenguaje cinematográfico.

“Cuando uno crea estastomas largas, para mí, sesiente como si a uno lotransportaran ahí. Sesiente más peligroso y másmisterioso”, dijo Lubezki.“Cortar y rodar conmúltiples cámaras era muyefectivo hace 10 años peroquizás ya no lo sea.Probablemente este trucode la toma larga se volveráviejo en unos añostambién, y tendremos queinventar otro truco”.

Pero Lubezki no esningún mago de un solotruco. Sus películas conMalick (incluyendo “Treeof Life” y la cinta depróximo estreno “Knightof Cups”) sonimpresionistas yfragmentadas. Atraído porlos ambientes reales yenemigo de la luz artifi-cial, se ha dedicado ahacer cine de un modomás naturalista que puederayar en lo sublime.

“Quizás”, dijo, “hayalgo que de pronto se filtraen la película que sesiente espiritual, que sesiente conectado con algomás grande”.

En los Oscar, el nombre que más suena es elde “Chivo”Por JAKE COYLE, Associated PressThe Toledo International

Youth Orchestra (TIYO) is re-hearsing feverishly while try-ing to raise funds for a June[2016] trip to Cuba. TIYO willbe one of the first youth or-chestras to go to the islandnation since travel restrictionswere eased last year.

Members of the media weregiven access to the group’srehearsal at Toledo School forthe Arts one evening last weekto draw attention to the tripand fundraising efforts.

TIYO is an orchestra com-prised of musicians, ages 12 to21. The musicians represent13 schools in eleven schooldistricts throughout North-west Ohio and include musi-cians in both junior and seniorhigh school. The mission ofthe youth orchestra is “bridg-ing cultures through music.”

To achieve its mission, theyouth orchestra welcomesmusicians of all racial, eth-nic, and religious back-grounds. The orchestra’s rep-ertoire includes music whichrepresents cultures around theworld. TIYO performs atmulticultural eventsthroughout the community.

To make the Cuba trip pos-sible, the youth orchestra needsto raise $150,000 for travelexpenses and shipping instru-ments and musical equipment.While the youth orchestra isactively seeking corporatesponsors, individual donorscan contribute though thecrowd-funding websitewww.crowdrise.com. Donorswill fund the fundraiser underthe heading “Bridging Cul-tures Through Music.” Dona-tions are tax-deductible, be-

cause the group isa 501(c) 3 non-profit group.

One of themost challengingobstacles forTIYO is fundingtransportation forlarge, delicate in-struments. Forprevious trips, the group hasrented large instruments, butmusical instrument rental busi-nesses don’t exist in Cuba.

“Our biggest concern istransporting cellos, stringbasses, and percussion instru-ments,” said Jerome Walenc,one of three TIYO conductors.“Many of our students do notown the instruments they play,because they rent their instru-ments or borrow instrumentsfrom their school. Hard-shellprotective cases are very ex-pensive. These instrumentscannot be handled like lug-gage, because it would riskdamaging the instruments, soraising the money to cover thesecosts will be a high priority.”

All funds raised will be di-vided equally among all of the56 students scheduled to makethe trip. The goal is to ensureeach musician can travel with-out any out-of-pocket costs.Another challenge is helpingstudents whose families maystruggle to afford the opportu-nity to travel.

“Several of our students ex-perience food and housing in-security, and many of them areon the free or reduced lunchprogram,” said TIYO boardpresident Dr. ElizabethAthaide-Victor. “We don’twant any musician to be ex-cluded from this extraordinary

opportunity because theycan’t afford to go. Just imag-ine how life-changing this tripcould be for those kids.”

Among the high schoolsrepresented in TIYO are: To-ledo School for the Arts(TSA); St. John’s Jesuit; St.Ursula Academy; Whitmer,Start, Lakota, andSouthview high schools;Timberstone and Jeffersonjunior high schools; Fassettand Springfield middleschools; Maumee ValleyCountry Day School, andthe University of Toledo.The students play stringed,brass, woodwind, and per-cussion instruments.

The featured selections forthe Cuba trip represent an in-ternational musical repertoire,including music from Spain,Portugal, Latin America, En-gland, Thailand, Italy, Rus-sia, and the Middle East. Therealso will be U.S. patriotic andAfrican-American spiritualselections. There will be well-recognized movie music,such as selections from StarWars and Sleeping Beauty.

The Toledo InternationalYouth Orchestra has previ-ously traveled to: Peru,China, Canada, Poland, Ger-many, Tanzania, Japan, En-gland, Austria, Poland, andSouth Korea.

LA HABANA, 18 II 16(AP): La luz al final del túnelestá más cerca. Muchoscubanos piensan que el viajedel presidenteestadounidense BarackObama a Cuba podríasignificar el fin de más decinco décadas dehostilidades y el inicio deuna anhelada prosperidadeconómica.

“Esta visita para mí y paratodos los cubanos vendríasiendo una puerta abierta alo que nos hace falta: quenos quiten el bloqueo quenos golpea”, dijo a la AP,Yosvany Martínez, cuidadorde autos de 36 años queestaba encantado con la ideade ser testigo de la primeravisita de un mandatarioestadounidense en más decinco décadas desde eltriunfo de la revolución.

Ubicado a un costado dellujoso Hotel Nacional deesta capital, rodeado de au-tos clásicos, descapotablesy vehículos de la épocasoviética, Martínez hizoalusión así al embargo, lassanciones impuestas porWashington a la isla en los60 a fin de presionar uncambio en su modelopolítico.

Muchos cubanos sefueron enterando, de boca enboca, por internet oposteriormente a lo largo deldía mediante la prensa localde que Obama viajará a la islael 20 y 21 de marzo [2016].

Sin embargo, noparecieron sorprendidos. En

los últimos meses músicosfamosos, actrices, políticos ycientíficos estadounidenses sedieron cita en la isla, en el focode los reflectores mediáticos.

Aunque el turismo todavíano es libre desde EstadosUnidos a la isla, Obamaflexibilizó las condiciones yunos 160.000 ciudadanos deese país visitaron Cuba en2015, un 76% más que el añoanterior.

“Siento un cambio por lomenos en el crecimiento delturismo, hay más alegría en lagente, pero en la economía degente como yo o que viven deun salario, todavía no”, agregóMartínez, cuando se leconsultó sobre si percibe quealgo se modificó desde elanuncio de deshielobinacional en diciembre de2014.

Washington y La Habanasorprendieron al mundo conel inicio a finales del 2014 deun calendario deacercamiento diplomático decamino a la normalización delas relaciones binacionales,rotas por cinco décadas.

Tras décadas dehostilidades, los cubanosvieron izar la bandera de lasbarras y las estrellas y la isla enWashington en julio pasado.

“Las relaciones son unproceso largo, no es algo quese vaya a dar de la noche a lamañana”, explicó a la AP, JoséMiguel Gómez, un capitán dela marina mercante.

Para Gómez las reformasperceptibles en la sociedadcubana como la extensión de

la telefonía móvil, unpequeño acceso a internet, ola ampliación de los permisospara el ejercicio del trabajoindependiente comenzaroncon el mandato de RaúlCastro—quien reemplazó asu hermano en 2006—y nopor el deshielo, pero esteacercamiento con la potenciamás grande del mundo y soloa 150 kilómetros serádeterminante para el futurode la isla.

Desde la cancilleríacubana también le dieron labienvenida al presidente yaseguraron que la visita “seráuna oportunidad” paraadelantar en el diálogo y paraque el gobernante vea en vivoy directo a Cuba.

“Esta visita constituirá unpaso más hacia la mejoría delas relaciones entre Cuba ylos Estados Unidos”, dijo aperiodistas la Directora Gen-eral de la Dirección Generalde Estados Unidos de laCancillería Josefina Vidal.

Vidal destacó que inclusotemas polémicos para losgobiernos de ambos paísescomo derechos ciudadanoso democracia forman partedel diálogo binacional.

“Por supuesto para llegara la normalización(completa) de esas relacionestendrían que solucionarseasuntos claves pendientesincluyendo el levantamientodel bloqueo y la devolucióna Cuba del territorio ocupadoilegalmente por la base Na-val de Guantánamo”,advirtió la funcionaria.

LA PRENSA SALES: CLEVELAND 216-688-9045 TOLEDO 419-870-2797 • DETROIT 313-729-4435 • LORAIN 440-320-8221

TOLEDO, Feb. 23, 2016:The founder and president ofthe Farm Labor OrganizingCommittee (FLOC) contendsthere are some unintendedconsequences happening inNorthwest Ohio because of in-creased immigration enforce-ment by Border Patrol Agentsand stepped-up deportationsby the Detroit office of Immi-gration and Customs Enforce-ment (ICE).

FLOC leader BaldemarVelásquez fears many farmerswill turn away from labor in-tensive crops such as cucum-bers and peppers this summer,because there won’t be enoughmigrant farmworkers to pickthem. Instead, small farmerswill turn to corn, wheat, andsoybeans to survive.

Velásquez maintains con-struction of a new Border Pa-trol station in Sandusky is di-rectly to blame for the outflowof migrant farmworkers, manyof whom are undocumentedimmigrants.

“It chilled the area, as faras being a welcoming areafor many immigrant, undocu-mented workers who came towork in the fields,” he said.“So farmers are finding itharder and harder to get work-ers and cutting back theiracreage every year. We’relosing a lot of acreage everyyear, and thus, jobs. The buy-ers of the cucumbers are notgoing to buy and contractacreage unless the labor sup-ply is available.”

That law of supply-and-demand is forcing the hand ofFLOC and farmers alike to lookelsewhere for an availableworkforce.

“We’re forced to look at

the guest worker program asan option to replace theworkforce that we need andretain the industry here inNorthwest Ohio,” saidVelásquez, speaking byphone while attending anAFL-CIO executive councilgathering in San Diego.“We’re 200 workers short ofour need and we’re going tosee if we can fill that void bymaking a last-ditch attemptto get some workers fromMexico with a visa.”

Second front in battleA second front in that battle

is trying to prevent the un-documented immigrantworkforce that is availablelocally from being forced outof the country.

“We’re going to continueto defend the immigrant work-ers in our community, in ourarea by defending them fromdeportations, pushing home-land security to use theprosecutorial discretion thatthey are supposed to be using,which they do not,” saidVelásquez.

Velásquez estimates thereare between 6,000 and 10,000undocumented immigrants inToledo alone. But many oth-ers are staying away from ruralNorthwest Ohio, fearing theefforts of ICE and possibledeportation will tear theirfamilies apart. The FLOCleader maintains the Detroitoffice has the third highestdeportation rate in the U.S.out of 28 regional offices na-tionwide.

“That’s incredible, consid-ering the fact we don’t havethe immigrant population thatNew York, Chicago, Miami,

or Los Angeles, San Francisco,San Diego, and many otherSouthwest cities have, whichmeans we’ve got someone withthe attitudes of Donald Trumprunning the office in Detroit—deporting everybody that theycan get their hands on,” hesaid. “There has to be some-thing done in the meantime todefend them.”

Velásquez stated FLOCplans to pressure Congress-woman Marcy Kaptur to spon-sor legislation “that wouldgive every worker who’s set fordeportation proceedings aseven-day reprieve and enablethem to get access to legalcounsel and their due process(rights).”

“Many undocumentedpeople are deported withouttheir due process. They pushthem or force them to sign thesevoluntary deportations, whichdoesn’t have to be the case,” hesaid. “They just don’t knowtheir rights. Everyone in thecountry has the right to dueprocess—and homeland secu-rity is certainly not advisingpeople of those rights.”

Recent Arizona reportA recent public radio report

in Boston suggested the num-ber of undocumented workersin Arizona, which shares a 340-mile border with Mexico, hasdropped 40 percent since 2010,mainly due to the get-toughpolicies of that state and theU.S government. Numbers inother border states with heavyundocumented immigrantpopulations also are down bydouble digits.

“There is a challenge to findworkers willing to do thiswork,” Magnus Lofstrom, a

labor economist and seniorfellow at the Public Policy In-stitute of California, a non-partisan think tank, toldWBUR last week. “They haveto look for an alternative strat-egy to produce the goods andservices that they’re involvedwith and they have to look foralternative technologies. Thefarmer is using a different tech-nology, but he’s cutting downon how much he’s producing.When he’s hiring workers, he’susing less of them but he has topay them more.”

According to a recent re-port in the Wall Street Jour-nal, the loss of undocumentedimmigrants also hurt the con-struction industry in Arizona,because there were not enoughday laborers and other work-ers to help with a recent hous-ing boom. About half of theundocumented immigrantsleft because of the recessionand the other half left becauseof anti-immigration policies.

Ohio also is considered aborder state. Northwest Ohiosits near that border, one in-stance where the region’s lo-cation is not a plus—unlike intransportation and tourismwhere this area is frequentlycalled the Crossroads ofAmerica.

“The Border Patrol has theright to patrol 100 miles fromthe border—and technically,the shores of Lake Erie is theCanadian border,” he said. “Sothat covers the distance waydown past Lima and coversthe entire region where agri-cultural jobs are inundatedwith immigrant workers.When they poured all thosenew officers into that new fa-cility, they certainly weren’tlooking for white Canadianssneaking across the lake.”

Mr. Velásquez paints a pic-ture of a strategic, methodicaleffort by the Border Patrol totarget weekend raids.

“They wait to pick them upon a Friday and then over theweekend, it’s impossible forthe person to find someone tohelp on a Saturday or Sunday.Come Monday, they’re pro-cessed rapidly for deportationand flown out of the airport inToledo on Tuesday morn-ings,” he alleged.

“If they had a seven-dayreprieve, it would allow the

person to com-municate withan attorney, callfamily membersand gather themoney to paythe attorney, sohe can exercisehis due processand push hishearing to immi-gration courtand argue thediscretionarypolicy,” headded.

The FLOCleader lamentedthe loss over theyears of sugarbeet crops, toma-toes, and theirrelated process-ing plants. Hecalls the current situation atipping point with dire conse-quences.

“If we don’t do somethingto replenish the labor force,we’re going to lose the entirelabor-intensive crops here,”predicted Velásquez.

“Northwest Ohio is no longerfriendly territory”

Word has spread amongthe migrant farmworker popu-lation that Northwest Ohio isno longer friendly territory,so they’re staying away indroves—and out of the reachof the Border Patrol.

“They’re sticking to themiddle of the country. They’rein the Deep South—NorthCarolina, for instance. Rightnow, the agricultural popula-tion in North Carolina aloneis 100,000 to 130,000 work-ers—and 90 percent of themare undocumented,” he said.“So you’re talking 100,000undocumented people inNorth Carolina, just in the last12 or 13 years. Many of themwould have come to Ohio.”

The FLOC leader statedsmall-scale farmers have a hugestake in what is going on, be-cause their survival dependson a big enough workforce toharvest labor-intensive, so-called “cash crops.”

Small family farmers needcash flow to sustain theeconomy of such an opera-tion, Velásquez explained.Grain futures keep the farmersfrom selling corn, soybeans,

and wheat as soon as they har-vest them, instead waiting forthe market.

“So they don’t see thatmoney for some time after theyharvest it,” he said. “In themeantime, what are they goingto survive on—to run their trac-tors and their machinery. Youneed a cash crop, like cucum-bers and tomatoes and peppersto keep the farm economyalive.”

So a shortage of migrantfarm workers means smallerfamily farms stand to lose theirlivelihoods unless somethingis done about the problem.

Yet the FLOC leader re-mains positive the battle willbe won—even if it is an uphillfight.

“When we succeed in get-ting these guest workers to cometo Ohio, then I think we’re go-ing to be in a position to extendthe life of the industry for someyears yet,” said Velásquez.

But the battle against de-portations is about preservingthe current and futureworkforce, so many more mi-grant farm workers won’t beforced to return to Mexico—causing a need for even moreguest workers and visas in thenear-term.

Of course, Velásquez haslong maintained the key to astable workforce long-term is alegal pathway to citizenshipfor undocumented immigrantscurrently in the U.S., a hot topicof debate in a presidential elec-tion year.

The U.S. Supreme Courtappeared ready to add someclarity to that debate, but theuntimely death of JusticeAntonin Scalia and the result-ing political fight over appoint-ing his replacement has mud-died those waters and addedthe possibility of a 4-4 tie votein cases involving thepresident’s executive author-ity on immigration reformssuch as DAPA and DACA.

“Somebody’s got to fight it.There’s too just much compla-cency in our society in terms ofthat nothing can be done orwoe is me, throw their hands inthe air,” said Mr. Velásquez.“That’s the way things werebefore the civil rights move-ment. It’s more convenient tonot make things worse thanthey already are.”

FLOC will host a strategysession on Thursday, March10, 2016, 6 p.m., at its Toledoheadquarters on Broadway todiscuss the loss of migrantfarmworkers, the lack of edu-cation among the children ofundocumented immigrants,and the underemploymentand wage theft of that samepopulation.
