MEXICO 4 deseptiembre del 2013 (AP):Una telenovelarecientemente estrenadaen México tiene una parejade enamorados, unantagonista y momentosde tensión que dejan alpúblico en pleno suspenso.Normal para este tipo deprogramas. La diferenciaes que este dramático estáhablado en maya.
Los actores, además, noson el clásico galán ni laclásica belleza de ojosclaros; son indígenas convestidos tradicionales y noviven en una mansióncuando logran su amor,sino en una casa en mediode la selva. “Baktun” estodo menos una telenovelacualquiera.
“Es ‘cinéma verité’,ningún actor esprofesional, ninguna de laslocaciones son diseñadas”,dijo el director y productorBruno Cárcamo Arvide enuna entrevista telefónicacon The Associated Press.
En vez de seguir unguion para cada una de las
escenas, se pidió a losparticipantes que hicieran loque acostumbrarían ensituaciones como las queenfrentaban en la historia.
“Incluso la comunidadestaba proponiendo y hacíapequeños ajustes hacia sucosmovisión y su maneracultural de actuar”, dijoCárcamo Arvide.
La telenovela es unamezcla de documental yficción, dijo y puso comoejemplo escenas de unaceremonia para pedir lalluvia que se hicieron al piede la letra, conforme a lo queles indicaron los sacerdotesdurante la grabación.
“No podemos entrar a unritual sin ser parte del ritual,no podemos ser visitantes,tenemos que formar parte delritual”, dijo Hilario ChiCanul, protagonista,guionista y asesor intercul-tural del proyecto, tambiénvía telefónica.
“Si no, es una ofensa ycreo que inclusive noshubieran sacado de lacomunidad”, agregó eltambién profesor de maya de
la Universidad de QuintanaRoo, quien ya había tenidouna experiencia previa enel cine como un asesor parala película “Apocalipto” deMel Gibson.
Cárcamo considera latelenovela, que se transmiteactualmente en latelevisión estatal deQuintana Roo, como unaherramienta para“empoderar” a la lenguamaya a través de los mediosmasivos, dijo, para “hacerque los mayas se puedanver en la pantalla”.
“La lengua maya no estáperdida, para nada estáperdida, está viva. Los queestán perdidos somos loshablantes. Hay muchoshablantes que no estánhablando maya”, señalóChi.
El maya, o la maya comola definen ellos, es unamezcla de lengua, cultura ytierra que los padresheredan a sus hijos. En latelenovela, Jacinto (Chi) lapierde y necesitareencontrarse con susraíces.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas1 de septiembre del 2013(AP) La víspera de sucumpleaños número 56,Gloria Estefan celebró elsábado a lo grande con unespectacular concierto de90 minu tos en e lAlamodome de SanAntonio.
Fue el momento cumbrede la segunda edición anualdel Festival People enEspañol que, producido porsu esposo Emilio Estefan Jr.,también contó con una sólidaactuación de AlejandroFernández y un cierre dePrince Royce como invitadosorpresa.
Si la primeraedición del festi-val en 2012 tuvom o m e n t o sbrillantes sobre elescenario (conOlga Tañón,3BallMTY y LuisMiguel, entreotros) y una pobre presenciade los fanáticos en lasbutacas, este año estuvo cercade ser exactamente al revés,si no fuera por elprofesionalismo de Estefan,Fernández y el jovenbachatero dominicano.
Al principio del show yase notaba que laconcurrencia sería muchomayor (al final de la noche,por lo menos el 75-80% delos 11.000 asientos estabanocupados, a diferencia de lamitad el año anterior), pero sibien Carla Mauri y JencarlosCanela podrían habercantado en vivo, era claroque sus músicos simulabantocar cuando en realidad loque sonaban eran pistas. Estofue prácticamenteconfirmado por Mauri yCanela.
“En partes (tocamos envivo)”, dijo Canela a TheAssociated Press cuando se
dirigía a la sala de prensaluego de su actuación. “Hubopartes que no, pero la mayorparte sí”.
“Eh. sí (la banda tocó envivo)”, dijo unasorprendida Mauri a la APluego de su actuación. “Yocreo que sí. No sé. Yo estabaen mi propia onda”.
Fue un sorpresivo iniciopara un festival con altopresupuesto que veníaprecedido de un alto nivel deproducción el año anterior yque este año, con la presenciade Estefan como productor,prometía aún más.
Pero todas las deudas delinicio fueron saldadas por
una Gloria Estefan magistral,tan magistral como sus 12músicos y tres coristas, todostocando y cantando en vivo.Como si Emilio se hubieseguardado todo su arsenalpara su esposa (y, luego,Alejandro Fernández), apartir de los compases de“Rhythm is Gonna Get You”,Gloria y los suyos dieroninicio a otra noche queofreció, ahora sí, todo lo queel festival prometía.
No hubo lugar para lasbaladas: Gloria entregó unfrenético recorrido por surepertorio más bailable detodos los tiempos. En lugarde promocionar su nuevoálbum (“The Standards’’, susversiones del cancionero popamericano que saldrá a laventa el 10 de septiembre),prefirió mirar atrás y dar lomejor de sí de todas lasépocas, incluyendo unafantástica versión de ``Mi
Tierra’’ que enganchó con lasección montuna de ``OyeMi Canto’’ y regresó a ``MiTierra’’, a modo deimpredecible suite.
Los momentos másemotivos de su set ocurrieroncuando amigos y famosos lasaludaron por sucumpleaños con mensajes envideo proyectados en unapantalla sobre el escenario, ycuando llamó a su hija Emily,quien está a punto de ingresara la prestigiosa EscuelaBerklee de Música en Bos-ton, Massachusetts.
“Es la mejor música detoda la familia”, dijo Estefan,quien no exageró. Emily toca
varios instrumentos ydemostró su habilidadcon un veloz ycomplicado solo deguitarra eléctricamientras su madre, asu lado, le dedicaba“Everlasting Love”.
Seguidamente, labanda empezó a tocar losacordes de “Birthday”, de losBeatles, y a los pocos minutosingresaron al escenario susobrina Lili Estefan y RaúlDe Molina (del programa “ElGordo y La Flaca”, deUnivisión, quienes oficiaroncomo conductores del festi-val), Monique Manso yArmando Correa, publishery editor de People EnEspañol, respectivamente, yla atmósfera festiva fueabruptamente interrumpidapor un homenaje que tuvomucho de marketing, ya queCorrea proclamó a la revistacomo “la voz más confiablede la cultura hispana enEstados Unidos”.
Pero todo pronto volvió asu cauce. El pequeñomariachi mexicano-estadounidense Sebastien dela Cruz, 10 (quien se hicierafamoso cantando el HimnoNacional de Estados Unidos
antes de un juego de los Spursde San Antonio), le dio unaserenata a Estefan: le cantó“Esclavo y amo”, de PepeAguilar, y luego lideró lasmañanitas junto a todo elAlamodome.
Estefan finalmente cerrósu brillante actuación con“Conga”, y la noche habíaquedado a salvo luego de uncomienzo lamentable.
A Alejandro Fernándezle tocó la difícil tarea decantar inmediatamentedespués de un show casiperfecto de Estefan, pero“El Potrillo” no desentonó.Aunque al final de suconcierto de casi dos horasmucha gente ya se habíaido (eran cerca de la 1 de lamañana, y el festival habíaempezado a las 7 de latarde), el hijo de VicenteFernández arrancó contemas de su nuevo disco,“Confidencias”, luciendoun impecable traje negro yuna banda muchos másjazzera y funk que decostumbre (¿a lo LuisMiguel?), pero con casi doshoras de show no habíamanera de que no hiciera unset de rancheras. Por lotanto, durante una parte in-strumental dejó el escenarioy, cuando regresó, lucía sutraje de charro. Terminó suset enloqueciendo alpúblico y muchos se
pararon para irse a casa.Pero faltaba el invitado
sorpresa.El escenario giratorio
(qué sólo se usó con losnombres más importantes dela noche) dio vuelta yapareció el neoyorquinoPrince Royce, quien está enel número uno de las ventaslatinas de Billboard con sutema “Darte un beso”, elprimer sencillo de su disco“Soy el mismo”, a lanzarse el8 de octubre.

éxitos y dejó el escenario enmenos de 15 minutos,cuando más de la mitad delpúblico ya se había ido. Fueun festival demasiado largoy desparejo, con una primeramitad pobrísima y unasegunda parte de primernivel.
El festival continúa eldomingo con Grupo Treo,Chris Pérez Project, NoelTorres, Kat Dahlia, Frankie J,Demi Lovato, Wisin &Yandel, 3BalllMTY y unaactuación especialauspiciada por la cadena detiendas Target.

Live music fans to enjoy Music Fest 2013Friday at UT, Sept. 13 México.- Las
manifestaciones de más de 20,000 maestros desde el pasado18 de agosto han trastornadoen un principio las actividadesde la capital del país, pero pocoa poco se han ido replicandoen diferentes estados. Lo cualha paralizado por completolas escuelas de los Estados deOaxaca, Chiapas y Guerreroprincipalmente. Todo paramanifestar su rechazo a laReforma Educativa aprobadapor el Senado.
En respuesta a esto,alumnos y padres de familia deOaxaca salieron también a lascalles para manifestarse y pedirel regreso de los maestros a lasaulas. En una escuela primaria,los padres de familia obligarona los maestros a dar clases ymontaron guardia para vigilarque cumplieran con suresponsabilidad. “No vamos adejar que sigan pasando losdías y nuestros hijos noestudien. Los maestros nohacían nada, se la pasabanperdiendo el tiempo entreellos; por eso tuvimos quetomar justicia por nuestracuenta”, dijo uno de los padresafectados. La sociedad seencuentra bastante molesta portodos los daños que estasmovilizaciones han causado.
Por su parte, los maestros através de las redes sociales hanasegurado que con la ReformaEducativa se avecina una grancrisis económica porque hay
millones de maestros en el paísque han obtenidos sus casas,autos, y necesidades básicas através de créditos pero ahora¿Qué sucederá con estosempresarios que ya no tendrána esos millones de profesoresde clientes? ¿Qué maestro searriesgará a sacar un auto?Ninguno, si ahora cada 6 mesesserá evaluado para saber simantiene su puesto o no.Mucha gente dice junto con elGobierno ¡Los maestrosBuenos si podrán! ¿Quién selos garantiza?
Esto es en respuesta a lasevaluaciones que contemplala nueva Reforma, losprofesores de nuevo ingreso—aquellos que seancontratados después de que laley entre en vigor— yreprueben las evaluaciones,serán castigados con la pérdidade su plaza. En cambio, losdocentes que actualmenteestán en activo seránremovidos de los salones declase pero no serán despedidos,sino que se les reasignará enotra área del servicio público(en tareas administrativas, porejemplo) o las autoridades losexhortarán a jubilarse. Este esel tema que más molestia hacausado entre los integrantesde la Coordinadora Nacionalde Trabajadores de laEducación (CNTE), quienesconsideran que esas medidasatentan contra sus derechoslaborales porque les harán
perder estabilidad en elempleo. Los líderes de lacoordinadora afirman que nose oponen a la evaluación, sinoa que ésta implique castigos.
Cabe destacar que enMéxico, el sindicato de mae-stros es el que tiene el controlcasi total del personalacadémico; lo que incluye elcorrupto sistema de venta yherencia de plazasmagisteriales, al que se atribuyegran parte del mal desempeñode las escuelas mexicanas, lascuales tienen costosrelativamente más altos y lospeores resultados entre los 34países que conforman laOrganización para laCooperación y el DesarrolloEconómico (OCDE).
Para expresar su rechazo ala nueva Reforma, los mae-stros se han manifestado frentea la Cámara de Diputados,Senado de la República, en lastelevisoras Televisa y TVAzteca, el Auditorio Nacional,la residencia oficial de LosPinos y han bloqueadoavenidas de acceso alAeropuerto Internacional dela Ciudad de México; entreotros puntos. Asimismo, hanamenazado conmanifestaciones en todo elpaís, mantener el plantón en elZócalo capitalino, y parosescalonados de labores.

Servicios y Turismo de laCiudad de México (Canaco),las protestas han dejado hastael momento, pérdidaseconómicas por 767 millonesde pesos (aproximadamente6 millones de dólares).
La aprobación de laReforma
Hace unos días, el Senadoavaló con 102 votos a favory 22 en contra, la Ley Gen-eral del Servicio Docente. Lasleyes secundarias indispens-ables para que funcione lareforma educativa quedaronaprobadas en su totalidad enel Congreso mexicano y, paraque entren en vigor, sólo falta
que las promulgue elpresidente Enrique Peña Nieto,lo que se prevé ocurra en lospróximos días, según informóel propio mandatario.
Peña Nieto aseguró que suGobierno agotará las vías deldiálogo con la CoordinadoraNacional de Trabajadores dela Educación (CNTE), pero“no hay marcha atrás”.
La Reforma Educativa fuepresentada el 11 de diciembredel 2012 por el titular delPoder Ejecutivo Federal,Enrique Peña Nieto, y el día 20del mismo mes, fue aprobadapor la Cámara de Diputados ypor el Senado de la República.En febrero de 2013, la reforma
fue declarada constitucionalpor el Poder Legislativo Fed-eral, promulgada por elEjecutivo el 25 de febrero de2013 y publicada al díasiguiente en el Diario Oficialde la Federación.
Entre los elementos quecontempla dicha Reforma,se encuentran:
Primero. Se pretende crearel Sistema de ServicioProfesional Docente, el cualestará integrado por concur-sos de ingresos para docentesy para la promoción a cargoscon funciones de dirección yde supervisión en la educaciónbásica y media superior. Con
dicha creación seestarían fijandolos términos parael ingreso, lapromoción y lapermanencia en elservicio. Loscriterios paradeterminar lapromoción o elsistema dereconocimientosc o r r e s p o n d e r á nexclusivamente al mérito y ala preparación de cada mae-stro. Este esquema hoy esmanejado por el SindicatoNacional de Trabajadores dela Educación (SNTE), mismoque determina plazas, salarios,
cargos, etcétera. ElInstituto Nacionalpara la Evaluación dela Educación (INEE)tendrá atribucionespara evaluar eldesempeño yresultados delSistema EducativoNacional. Para esto,la reforma buscadotarlo de autonomíaconstitucional y conello otorgarlefacultades paradiseñar y realizar loscambios necesariosque vaya requiriendoel sistema educativo.Se buscará que elINEE esté formadopor personas conr e c o n o c i d a
capacidad y que sea un cuerpocolegiado el que realice laselección de estas, aunque elpresidente de la junta degobierno del INEE serápropuesto ante el Senado de laRepública por el titular delPoder Ejecutivo nacional.
Segundo. Se busca que laevaluación magisterial, enprimer lugar, no seapotestativa o voluntaria, sinoobligatoria para todos losmaestros; segundo, que laevaluación no sea pactable; ytercero, que tengaconsecuencias jurídicas, esdecir, el maestro que repruebela evaluación se tendrá que ir.Hay que recordar que en laúltima evaluación nacionalreprobó el 75 por ciento de losmaestros.
Tercero. Se crean lasescuelas dignas y escuelas detiempo completo con criteriosde calidad, equidad yautonomía de gestión de lasescuelas, es decir, se buscadarle a cada escuela, los mediosnecesarios para que cada di-
La Reforma Educativa en México(Continuación de p.12)
rector haga las mejoras deinfraestructura, compre losmateriales didácticos, equipea las escuelas, etcétera.
Cuarto. Se crea el Sistemade Información y GestiónEducativa. Este tiene comopropósito realizar un censo deescuelas, profesores yalumnos, con el fin decorroborar datos, porque porincreíble que parezca no sesabe con exactitud cuántasescuelas, alumnos, o maestroshay en el sistema educativomexicano.
Y quinto. Se quiereimpulsar el suministro dealimentos nutritivos y prohibirla comida que no favorezca ala salud de los educandos. Losalimentos que se proveerántendrán que cumplir con lasnormas oficiales de laSecretaría de Salud. Además,por mandato constitucional sebusca prohibir la comida‘chatarra’. Sin duda, una vezaprobada, esta será una de lasmás grandes e históricasreformas en México.
All children, regardless ofimmigration status, can attend afree public school in the UnitedStates. This right is guaranteedby law. In 1982, the United StatesSupreme Court decided a casecalled Plyler v. Doe. This caseinvalidated a Texas statute thatdenied enrollment in the publicschools to children not “legallyadmitted” in the country.
The Supreme Court said thatdenial of education violates notonly our political and culturalhistory, but also the Equal Pro-tection clause of the U.S. Consti-tution. Justice Brennan, whowrote the Supreme Court opin-ion, said, “Education providesthe basic tools by which indi-viduals might lead economicallyproductive lives to the benefit ofus all.
In sum, education has a fun-damental role in maintaining thefabric of our society. We cannotignore the significant social costsborne by our Nation when selectgroups are denied the means toabsorb the values and skills uponwhich our social order rests.”
What does the Supreme Courtdecision in Plyler v. Doe mean toundocumented children? Itmeans that public schools maynot:
- Deny admission to a studentduring initial enrollment or atany other time on the basis ofundocumented status;
- Treat a student differently toverify residency;
- Engage in any practices that“chill” or hinder the right ofaccess to school;
- Make inquiries of studentsor parents that may expose theirundocumented status.
UNDOCUMENTED CHIL-DREN HAVE THE RIGHT TOENROLL IN SCHOOL- WHATSCHOOLS CAN AND CAN-NOT REQUIRE?
• Are schools allowed to re-quire Social Security Numbers?
NO – According to the Pri-vacy Act of 1974, social securitynumbers are not required for en-rollment. While a school mayask for a number, it must explainat the same time that it does notrequire the number and that itwill assign a unique identifier toany student who does not have asocial security number.
• Are schools allowed to re-quire Birth Certificates?
NO - Birth Certificates can-not be required for enrollment.The Michigan Revised SchoolCode (MCL 380.1135(1)) pro-vides that a person enrolling inschool can have either (1) a cer-tified copy of the birth certifi-cate; OR (2) other reliable proofof the student’s identity and ageAND an affidavit explaining theinability to produce a copy of thebirth certificate. The RevisedSchool Code is flexible as towhat constitutes other reliableproof that could serve as an alter-native to a birth certificate.
Examples of documents thatcould be accepted by schools inthe alternative are:
- Church Record (baptismaldocument – showing date, placeof child’s birth, names of child’sparents);
- School Record (informationshowing date of admission,child’s date of birth or age at thetime, the place of birth, the namesof the parents);
- Census Record (state or fed-eral census record showing thenames, place of birth, date ofbirth, or the age of the personlisted);
- Affidavits (written state-ments sworn to or affirmed bytwo persons who were living at
the time and who have personalknowledge of the child’s birth).
• Are schools allowed torequire Immunization Proof?
YES – Under the MichiganCode (MCL 333.9208,333.9215, 380.1177), immuni-zations may be required beforea child can be permitted to enteror attend school. School dis-tricts may require that parents orguardians present documenta-tion at the time of registration ornot later that the first day ofschool that: (1) their child hasreceived all required doses ofvaccines OR (2) that their childhas received at least one dose ofeach of the required vaccinesand is waiting to receive thesubsequent doses.
Vaccinations may bewaived if there is a valid medi-cal complication or the parentshave opposing religious con-victions. The key issue withrespect to immunizations is thatchildren should not be treateddifferently because of their na-tional origin, English profi-ciency, or migrant status. Allchildren should be treatedequally under the schooldistrict’s policy. School districtsmay not require additional ordifferent immunizations forimmigrant or migrant children.
UNDOCUMENTED CHIL-DREN HAVE THE RIGHT TOPARTICIPATE ON SCHOOLPROGRAMS
• Are undocumented chil-dren entitled to participate onThe Free and Reduced SchoolLunch or Breakfast programs?
YES – According to federalregulations (7 C.F.R.245.3(b)(2); 245 6(a)), the Freeand Reduced School Lunch orBreakfast programs are avail-able to low-income childrenregardless of their immigrationstatus or their parent’s immigra-tion status. While the applica-tion for the free and reducedmeal programs has a blank for aparent or guardian’s social se-curity number, parents who havenot been issued a social secu-rity number may state “none.”
• Should schools providespecial Language classes forchildren whose English is nottheir first language?
YES - A school could becommitting national origin dis-crimination under Title VI if itfails to provide some form oflanguage assistance to limitedEnglish proficient students whoare otherwise precluded fromparticipating meaningfully inschool. This law is from a casecalled Lau v. Nichols decidedby the Supreme Court of theUnited States.
• Are undocumented chil-dren entitled to participate onSpecial Education Needs Pro-grams?
YES - Migrant students withspecial education needs areentitled to receive free appro-priate education.

• School districts have theresponsibility to adequatelynotify parents of national ori-gin minority group students of
school activities that are calledto the attention of the other par-ents.
Notification must be suffi-cient so that parents can makewell-informed decisions aboutthe participation of their chil-dren in a district’s programs andservices. Districts may be re-quired to provide notificationin the parents’ home language.This information was publishedon The Provision of Equal Edu-cational Opportunity to Lim-ited-English Proficient Stu-dents published by the U.S. De-partment of Education Office of
Civil rights in August 2000.• The state of Michigan and
each school district that receivesmonies from the federal migranteducation program for a regularschool year program must havea migrant parent advisory com-mittee to develop a comprehen-sive plan according to the NoChild Left Behind Act of 2002.

All U.S. citizens andeligible immigrantsshould be able to accessfood stamps and other ben-efits without fear of familyseparation. However,Michigan’s immigrantcommunities may haveheard rumors of a new De-partment of Human Ser-vices (DHS) policy thatwould require DHS em-ployees to report anyonewho they are told is anundocumented immigrantto homeland security.There is no new change toDHS policy regarding re-porting undocumentedaliens to homeland secu-rity.
This is what Happened:Earlier this year,
Michigan’s Department ofHuman Services (DHS)told their employees thatstarting October 1, 2011,when individuals came into apply for food stamps orState Emergency Relief(SER), “any time a clienttells DHS that the client oranyone else in their homeis an illegal alien, the ille-gal alien has to be reportedto homeland security.”
Fear of this new policyspread rapidly through im-migrant communities, andadvocates across the stateimmediately responded bypressuring DHS to clarify
“Not in Michigan!”“Yes, in Michigan.”I have this conversation
several times a week. It startswhen I tell a communitymember, a lawyer, a politi-cian, or just about anyone,that I represent victims ofhuman trafficking. They as-sume my clients were vic-timized in India or Mexico,or maybe New York City orLos Angeles.
The reality is that there ishuman trafficking in all thoseplaces, but it is also righthere in Michigan. We knowhuman trafficking has oc-curred in metro Detroit, theU.P., and in rural communi-ties in western Michigan.
So, what is human traf-ficking? Human Traffickingis a form of modern day sla-very. Under U.S. law, humantrafficking is divided intolabor and sex trafficking.Labor trafficking is the ex-ploitation of a person forlabor or services throughforce, fraud or coercion. Sextrafficking is when a personis compelled to engage in acommercial sex act by theuse of force, fraud or coer-cion. However, if the personengaging in the commercialsex act is under 18, thenforce, fraud or coercion isNOT required. Most impor-tantly, human trafficking ISA CRIME, and anyone canbe a victim of this crime.
What does force, fraud,or coercion look like? Forcecan take many forms such asrape, beatings, or being con-fined to a small space. Fraudis when the trafficker tellsthe victim lies in order topersuade the victim to dowhat the trafficker wants.Common lies include falseoffers of employment, mar-riage, an education, or just abetter life generally. Coer-cion is any plan or patternintended to make the victimbelieve that if they do not dowhat the trafficker says,something adverse will hap-pen to the victim or thevictim’s family, friends, orcommunity.
Traffickers frequentlythreaten the victim or theirloved ones with physicalharm; threaten to call thepolice or use the law againstthem; tell victims that whatis happening to them is legalin the U.S. or the police arecorrupt and involved in thecriminal activity; or deprivevictims of basic needs suchas medical care or nutrition.
Who would possibly dothis? I can’t draw a picture ofthe typical trafficker be-cause it does not exist. Traf-fickers are U.S. citizens andforeign nationals; strangers
publicly that this is not theirnew policy. In response tothis reaction, DHS informedadvocates that they sent anemail to DHS managers ex-plaining that the new policyrequiring DHS staff to re-port undocumented aliensto homeland security wasincorrect and should be dis-regarded by all DHS em-ployees.
DHS’s ACTUAL Policy:DHS only reports an un-
documented alien to home-land security if they haveclear knowledge of thatperson’s undocumentedstatus. Generally, thismeans that the DHS em-ployee must physically seea deportation order issuedby an immigration judge.DHS will not ask to see adeportation order, and youshould never bring a depor-tation order for anyone intoa DHS office.
DHS policy and the CivilRights Act of 1964 strictlylimit any questions regard-ing the immigration statusof non-applicants who arein the same household asapplicants for benefits.
Undocumented, non-ap-plicant household membersshould not tell DHS any in-formation about immigra-tion status. It is not true thatDHS’s computer system
needs the immi-gration status ofnon-applicants toprocess the appli-cation for house-hold memberswho are applying.
How It WorksLet’s say you are an un-
documented parent withU.S. citizen children andyour household income islow enough to qualify forfood stamps for your U.S.citizen children. Becausethey are children, you mustgo to the DHS office to ap-ply for them. Though youare actually the person fill-ing out the forms, you are a“non-applicant” becauseyou are not applying forany benefits for yourself.
• DHS can ask you aboutthe status of any applicantsfor benefits. In this case,your children.
• DHS cannot ask youabout the immigration sta-tus of any non-applicants.In this case, that means youand any other non-citizenin your house who is notapplying for benefits. If DHSdoes ask, simply state: “I amnot applying for benefits.”It is not true that DHS’s com-puter needs your immigra-tion status to process theapplication for benefits.
• DHS can ask you about

Slavery: Right Here inMichigan!By Elizabeth Campbell, Staff AttorneyUniversity of Michigan Law School Human Traffick-ing Clinic in collaboration with the MichiganImmigrant Rights Center
and loved ones; rich andpoor; male and female. Mosttraffickers prey on those thatare vulnerable – without themost basic resources or pro-tections. Thus, traffickersoften prey on the vulnerabili-ties of children because theylack the same knowledge andresources as adults. Simi-larly, foreign nationals areoften victims because of lan-guage barriers, lack of a com-munity support system, orbecause they are in the U.S.without status. All of thesefactors are then manipulatedby the trafficker.
For instance, traffickerswill hold identifying docu-ments such as passports orvisas, making the victimentirely reliant on the traf-ficker.
What happens to a victimthat does not have status inthe U.S.? Foreign nationalvictims of human traffick-ing may be eligible for immi-gration relief. The U.S. gov-ernment created the T Visato assist and protect victimsof human trafficking. In or-der to be granted a T Visa theforeign national must be avictim of human trafficking;must be in the U.S. becauseof the trafficking situation;if over the age of 18, mustassist law enforcement in pur-suing criminal chargesagainst the traffickers; andwill suffer severe hardship ifremoved from the U.S. Ifgranted a T Visa, the victimbecomes eligible for servicesand other forms of immigra-tion relief.
What can you do? In therare case, all this may soundvery familiar because of yourown situation or someoneyou know. However, moreoften human trafficking isnot easily seen.
Thus, the best thing thatyou can do is to be aware ofyour surroundings - the sur-prisingly youthful girl paint-ing your fingernails; the bus-boy or cook at your favoriterestaurant that is not allowedto speak to customers; yourfruit that manages to stay thesame price as gas prices goup; the young woman wholives and works for the fam-ily next door and neverseems to leave the house byherself; the rather large groupof people living in the smallapartment next door that arepicked up and dropped off atthe same time every day, bythe same car – these are allpossible signs of human traf-ficking and one phone callmay be the key to freeingvictims. If it is an emergencycall 911, otherwise call theNational Human TraffickingHotline at 1-888-3737-888.
