California bullet train deal: Hundreds of millions of dollars

Brown, legislators reach deal on bullet train funds in budget Democratic lawmakers were unable to secure extra funds for court operations in budget talksCalifornia’s controversial bullet train would receive hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming year under a budget deal reached by Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers Thursday, a critical step toward beginning construction as the project continues to face legal and political challenges.The agreement is one of several reached as the spending plan continued to take shape ahead of Sunday’s deadline. Democratic lawmakers successfully fought the governor’s proposal to cap how many hours caregivers could work in the state home care program, but they were unable to secure extra money for court operations or increase payments to doctors who serve poor patients enrolled in government healthcare.Bullet train funding had been a sticking point in budget negotiations. The money would be drawn from the cap-and-trade program, which charges fees to polluters who emit greenhouse gases above certain limits. Under the budget deal, $250 million would be allocated to high-speed rail in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. In each following year, the bullet train would receive 25% of cap-and-trade revenue.The final figures represent a compromise between Brown, who wanted 33% for the train, and Democratic lawmakers, who offered 15%.Cap-and-trade could provide billions of dollars for the bullet train over the next several years, a relatively small chunk of the project’s overall $68-billion price tag. However, the money would arrive at a critical time. Voter-approved bond funding has been stalled by lawsuits, and the state needs to begin matching federal grants with its own dollars next month.

H.D. Palmer, spokesman for Brown’s Department of Finance, said the governor is pleased that the budget includes “an ongoing source of funding to move this project forward.”The cap-and-trade program provides the “single largest new source of capital into our budget,” said Assemblyman Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), and the money is required by law to be spent on programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.|

Loan Modification? Short Sale? Refinance? Foreclosure? Bankruptcy? Which one is right for you? Maybe NONE of them!Real Estate Rescue reveals…

“What The Banks Don’t Want Homeowners To Know.”

It happens every day. Hundreds of California homeowners lose their homes to fraudulent banks and trustee companies while the government, the courts, and its judges just watch.

Fortunately, Real Estate Rescue is different. Located in Sacramento, Real Estate Rescue cares whether or not you lose your home to foreclosure (or short sale). They use state-of-the-art software and technology to monitor your trustee sale for you, absolutely free.

Real Estate Rescue can effectively educate you in legal methods that give you a fighting chance to keep your home. Referred to as the Anti-Realtor or Anti-Foreclosure professionals, Real Estate Rescue can put a stop to your foreclosure (or short sale). Why? Because what you don’t know about loan modification, short sale, refinance, foreclosure, and bankruptcy could cause you to lose your home!

“It seems criminal how realtors ‘forget’ to remind homeowners that a short sale leaves the homeowner with NO home and relatively little cash.”

Allowing a realtor to convince you that the best way to avoid a foreclosure is to conduct a short sale is like them selling your car (for no profit) instead of letting the bank repossess it. The outcome is the same. You lose your car. It seems criminal how realtors ‘forget’ to remind homeowners that a short sale leaves a homeowner with NO home and relatively little cash. Real Estate Rescue was created because homeowners don’t know that they do not have to give-up on their home. Furthermore, if you’re eligible, Real Estate Rescue may be able to continue its proven process long enough for you to learn ways keep your home for yourselves.

Real Estate Rescue also offers free solutions for you to get paid if you have already “lost” your home to foreclosure or short sale. If you qualify, Real Estate Rescue will find ways for you to get paid. Best part, it’s absolutely free!

Apart from the 25% earmarked for high-speed rail, the budget deal would direct 35% of cap-and-trade funds to other transit projects and affordable housing. The rest of the money would be available for initiatives involving natural resources, energy efficiency and cleaner forms of transportation.

In the wake of Mitt Romney’s stinging 2012 defeat, the Republican National Committee commissioned and released an autopsy of what was wrong with the party -- and how to fix it.

That autopsy, which was released in the spring of 2013, contained these three sentences on immigration reform.“We are not a policy committee, but among the steps Republicans take in the Hispanic community and beyond, we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only. We also believe that comprehensive immigration reform is consistent with Republican economic policies that promote job growth and opportunity for all.”It’s worth remembering those words today as all parties -- from President Obama on down -- have declared comprehensive immigration reform dead for this year and with many experts predicting that nothing will happen on the issue until after the 2016 presidential election. Because of the action – or, more accurately, the lack of action – from House Republicans in the year since a comprehensive bill passed the Senate, it is now more likely that the occupant of the White House after that election will be a Democrat.Don›t take my word for it. Here again, the Republican autopsy report.“If Hispanic Americans hear that the GOP doesn’t want them in the United States, they won’t pay attention to our next sentence. It doesn’t matter what we say about education, jobs or the economy; if Hispanics think that we do not want them here, they will close their ears to our policies. In essence, Hispanic voters tell us our Party’s position on immigration has become a litmus test, measuring whether we are meeting them with a welcome

mat or a closed door.”That’s strong language. But accurate given the daunting demographic challenges facing the GOP when it comes to the Hispanic vote.In the 2012 election, just one in every ten votes Romney won was non-white; he took a meager 27 percent of the Hispanic vote – down from the 31 percent for John McCain in 2008 and 40 percent for George W. Bush in 2004. The white vote also continued its steady downward slide as a percentage of the overall vote; in 2012, whites comprised 72 percent of the general electorate – the lowest ever measured.Republicans only need to look to California for a worst-case scenario of what their inability/refusal to pass legislation to reform the immigration system could mean. In the 1994 election, Proposition 187, which banned illegal immigrants from state-provided education and other social services, passed via a ballot initiative. Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, running for re-election that same year, strongly supported the measure. It helped Wilson win -- but also helped tank the long-term Republican prospects in the state. Check out this amazing chart via Latino Decisions about the pre-187 and post-187 political landscapes in California:Those are striking changes. And while they can’t be solely attributed to Prop. 187 and Wilson’s support for it, it was quite clearly a major factor in the turning of California from a swing(ish) state to a Democratic stronghold.Now, Prop. 187 and House Republicans’ unwillingness to pass any sort of immigration reform are not a perfect comparison. Prop. 187 was a vote that made quite clear how a majority of Californians (and the

state’s Republican governor) felt about a chunk of the state’s immigrant community. House Republicans were involved in no such prooactive move but rather more passively let the possibility of passing some sort of law wither on the vine. That might not be as bad as what happened in California 20 years ago in terms of alienating the Latino community but it certainly isn’t a good thing for GOPers. |

“It is encouraging that there are many Republican leaders both in the House and the Senate working on immigration proposals,” reads the Republican autopsy. “As the party advocates for positive solutions on immigration, we will be more successful appealing to Hispanic voters on other issues.” At the moment, Republicans are best known among Latinos for a lack of solutions on immigration. And that will come back to haunt them in 2016.

Three sentences on immigration that will haunt Republicans in 2016By CHRIS CILLIZZA

The president in his state of the union address mentioned Costco’s well-paid employees. True. In contrast, we have Sam’s Club that pays less. But the contrast does not stop there. Tom Sullivan, a Certified Public Accountant, television and radio commentator mentioned in his show that Costco employs less people and have greater work responsibility. Sam’s Club employs more people and share in many of the operational functions. Which is better? If I’m employed, obviously my choice will be Costco. If I’m unemployed, give me anything to survive and Sam’s Club looks like a survival option. The issue with increasing minimum wage is becoming a greater issue for the mom and pop business. It widens the gap between large and small business. Large institutions can manipulate, re-direct operational expenses and have access to capital via loans and investments. Small businesses do not have that luxury. They tend to work on a very low profit margin and, in some cases, at a loss. Their resource to seek additional capital is often non-existent.

When sales are stagnant, which doesn’t always reflect on better economic times, it becomes an additional financial burden. What do you do? There are options: Increase your price and/or decrease staff. The point is to keep your business afloat until better economic times return. The last options: close or move I get the new business listings monthly from my local city hall. I have noticed an increase of home-based businesses. Contractors are working with fewer employees and many of them are working by themselves or with family members. Restaurant owners and many professional service firms are asking family members to assist in running their establishment. “Keep the money in the family” motto applies. I recently spoke to a business owner and a long-time client in the security guard business. He stated that he wouldn’t mind paying more if the cost of having them on payroll was less burdensome; employer payroll tax and workers’ compensation is a major issue. With minimum wage increasing, the payroll cost of having employees’ increases too. A double whammy! What we have here is a “Catch 22” scenario. Yes, you want everyone making better wages to patronize your business. But you can’t afford to pay the new mandated minimum wage to service them. Expect the unemployment and part-time role to increase. I have clients already prepping to decrease their staff. |

Is increasing the minimum wage a good thing? For whom?

Los compradores de la Gran China, incluyendo a gente de Hong Kong y Taiwán, gastaron US$22.000 millones en hogares de Estados Unidos en el año hasta marzo, un 72% más respecto al mismo periodo en 2013.

Los compradores procedentes de China están haciendo subir los precios y alimentando nuevas construcciones en las zonas del sur de California. Henry Núñez, un agente de bienes raíces en Arcadia, California, que se reunió con muchos compradores de vivienda de China, compró una aplicación de traducción mandarín-inglés para su teléfono.

La compra de US$1,99 fue pagada el mes pasado, cuando vendió una casa de cinco dormitorios con arañas de cristal, suelos de mármol y dos cocinas, una diseñada para cocinar wok ahumado. Los compradores eran una pareja china que pagó US$3,5 millones en efectivo.

“El año pasado, hubiera sido US$2,8 millones”, dijo Núñez, un agente inmobiliario desde hace 27 años en la ciudad a 20 millas (32 kilómetros) al este de Los Ángeles. “El mayor impulso es un montón de personas que quieren invertir su dinero aquí”.

Los compradores de la Gran China, incluyendo a gente de Hong Kong y Taiwán, gastaron US$22.000 millones en hogares de Estados Unidos en el año hasta marzo, un 72% más respecto al mismo periodo en 2013, y más que cualquier otra nacionalidad, dijo ayer la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios en su informe anual sobre las compras de casas extranjeras. Eso es 24 centavos por cada dólar gastado por los compradores internacionales, de acuerdo con la encuesta de 3.547 agentes de bienes raíces.

Es probable que las compras chinas de viviendas en Estados Unidos sigan aumentando a medida que las filas abultadas de consumidores ricos del país buscan refugio de la contaminación y la incertidumbre política y económica, de acuerdo con Thilo Hanemann, que monitorea la inversión transfronteriza para el Rhodium Group con sede en Nueva York.

“Mucha gente está tratando de protegerse contra una perspectiva general bajista para la economía china”, dijo Hanemann en entrevista telefónica. “La compra de bienes inmuebles en el extranjero en el pasado ha sido limitada a un grupo relativamente pequeño de individuos ricos y, a

veces, a los funcionarios del gobierno. Pero se ha convertido en una tendencia mucho más grande, que involucra a personas de clase media”.

Nueva construcciónLos compradores procedentes de China están haciendo subir los precios y alimentando nuevas construcciones en las zonas del sur de California como Arcadia, una ciudad de alrededor de 57.500 personas con escuelas de máxima categoría, una gran comunidad de inmigrantes chinos y una gran variedad de restaurantes y mercados chinos.

“Alrededor del 90% de mis compradores son de China”, dijo Peggy Fong Chen, una agente de Re/Max Holdings Inc., que vendió 80 casas en Arcadia el año pasado. “Ellos quieren nuevas construcciones. Quieren dos pisos. En China, se considera una mansión si tiene dos pisos”.Más de tres de cada cuatro compradores pagan en efectivo, dijo Chen, oriundo de Hong Kong que ha estado vendiendo bienes raíces durante 10 años. Al menos el 20% son propietarios ausentes que todavía no tienen visados de larga duración. Muchos compran casas para que sus hijos asistan a la escuela secundaria o la universidad, dijo.

Proporción crecienteLas ventas de casas de Estados Unidos a residentes extranjeros con visados prolongados y compradores no residentes representaron alrededor del 7% de los US$1,2 billones de transacciones de casas existentes en el año hasta marzo, dijo la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios.

A los chinos y canadienses les siguieron los pasos compradores de la India y el Reino Unido, donde inversores de cada uno de los países gastan US$5.800 millones en hogares de Estados Unidos. Los mexicanos gastaron US$4.500 millones, convirtiéndose en el quinto mayor grupo comprador internacional.

Es probable que la proporción de dinero que llega de China siga creciendo, según Lawrence Yun, economista en jefe de los Agentes Inmobiliarios.“Es sólo el comienzo de una ola gigantesca”, dijo en una entrevista telefónica.

Los compradores extranjeros están cambiando Arcadia, según Núñez, de 55 años, que ha vivido en la ciudad desde que tenía 6 años.“Por cada calle que uno va, hay tres o cuatro casas nuevas en construcción”, dijo. “La demanda es simplemente increíble”. |

Ley otorga licencias a indocumentados, pero persisten preocupacionesLa histórica ley 60 de la Asamblea de California —la cual entrará en efecto el 1 de enero de 2015— finalmente ofrecerá la posibilidad de adquirir licencias de conducir a los indocumentados del estado; sin embargo, muchos permanecen escépticos.Mientras que los simpatizantes de la AB60 dicen que más conductores con licencia harán los caminos de California más seguros, los escépticos están preocupados de que la información proporcionada al Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados (DMV) sea compartida con agentes de Inmigración (ICE).“Algunos están diciendo que es una trampa… que vamos a compartir la información con ICE, o que la policía va a detenerlos. Eso es absolutamente falso”, dijo Lizette Mata, directora de proyectos especiales del DMV, quien asistió a un foro educativo sobre la AB60 el pasado 21 de junio en Redwood City. “Nos estamos asegurando de que eso no pase. No vamos a compartir su información”.Aparte de eso, hay otras preocupaciones.Durante las audiencias públicas de la AB60 el 24 y 26 de junio en Los Ángeles y Oakland, respectivamente,

decenas de personas testificaron que la documentación necesaria para probar su identidad —uno de los requisitos del DMV para aplicar— sería muy cara de obtener. Bajo el plan actual, el DMV ofrecerá cuatro opciones para probar la identidad de una persona, tres de las cuales requieren muchas formas de identificación, tales como un pasaporte o una identificación consular.“Esperamos verdaderamente que el DMV tenga en cuenta estos problemas porque fueron varios los que lo plantearon”, dijo Daisy Vieyra, asociada de comunicaciones de la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU) del Norte de California, quien asistió a la audiencia de Oakland. “Estamos optimistas con el DMV, el proceso en general y la implementación de la ley. En el centro de la ley, estamos hablando de mejorar la vida de la gente, permitiéndoles finalmente conducir para ir y venir a la escuela o al trabajo sin miedo de que su vehículo sea confiscado”.Otro problema que surgió durante el foro de Redwood City concierne al actual diseño de las licencias de manejo. Aunque éstas no señalarán a simple vista a un indocumentado, requerirá alguna marca que la

distinga de licencias ordinarias para cumplir con las leyes federales.A la mayoría de la gente no le gusta eso. “A mí tampoco me gusta mucho”, dijo Brenda (quien prefirió no dar su apellido), inmigrante indocumentada de México quien ha vivido en San Mateo por 9 años que asistió al foro. “Pero aún así es ganancia, es un adelanto”.El estado está solicitando que la marca permanezca

pequeña. Pero dejando a un lado el tamaño, la marca preocupa a algunos por posibles discriminaciones.“Yo creo que lo más importante es, ‘¿va a protegerme completamente contra la discriminación esta licencia?’ Desafortunadamente, nada te puede proteger contra la discriminación”, dijo Mata. “Sin embargo, esta licencia te permitirá conducir legalmente. Y te protegerá de manera que, si eres discriminado solo por tener este tipo de licencia, hay una parte de la ley que dice que puedes ir a un abogado… y ellos podrán ayudarte, porque los policías no deben hacer eso”.A pesar de las preocupaciones, la ley tiene a muchos esperanzados.“Vimos esto como un avance importante de los derechos humanos de todas las personas en California”, dijo Marco Negrete, cónsul de asuntos comunitarios en el Consulado Mexicano de San Francisco. “Personalmente creo que ya era tiempo. Es un alivio. Porque la ley tiene mucho sentido. En los EEUU necesitas manejar —para todo. Para ir a la escuela, para ir a trabajar, para ir al hospital, necesitas manejar”.El DMV, que ha trabajado de cerca con agencias tales como la Patrulla de Caminos de California (CHP), está esperando aproximadamente 2 millones de aplicaciones durante los próximos tres años y anima fuertemente a las personas a que estudien para los exámenes escritos y de manejo.“Definitivamente estamos tomando las experiencias aprendidas en el estado de Nevada”, dijo Mata, quien indicó que el 90% de los indocumentados de ese estado que aplicaron por una licencia de conducir no pasaron los exámenes. “Tenemos mucho que perder”.Para manejar el flujo, el DMV abrirá cuatro grandes centros de proceso donde los solicitantes podrán tomar el examen escrito con o sin cita. El centro del Área de la Bahía será en San José. Lo más pronto que se podrá hacer cita será el 17 de noviembre o 45 días antes del año nuevo.Saúl Mayen, quien maneja ilegalmente desde que inmigró a Redwood City desde su nativa Guatemala hace nueve años, no puede esperar a que llegue la fecha.“Lo único que nos resta es estudiar y prepararnos. Quiero ser uno de los primeros en recibir esa licencia”, dijo Mayen. “No queremos esos índices de reprobados en California. Si nos están dando la oportunidad, tenemos que aprovecharla. Para que vean que estamos interesados”. |—Traducción Carmen Ruiz

ARRIAGA, Mexico (AP) — On the last day of school Gladys Chinoy memorized her mother’s phone number in New York City and boarded a bus to Guatemala’s northern border.

With nothing but the clothes on her back, the 14-year-old took a truck-tire raft across the Naranjo River into Mexico and joined a group of five women and a dozen children waiting with one of the smugglers who are paid $6,000 to $7,000 for each migrant they take to the U.S.

The women and children waited by the train tracks in this small town in the southern state of Chiapas until the shriek of a train whistle and the glare of headlights pierced the night. Suddenly, dozens of teens and mothers with young children flooded out of darkened homes and budget hotels, rushing to grab the safest places on the roof of the northbound

freight train and join a deluge of children and mothers that is overwhelming the U.S. immigration system.

The number of unaccompanied minors detained on the U.S. border has more than tripled since 2011. Children are also widely believed to be crossing with their parents in rising numbers, although the Obama administration has not released year-by-year figures. The crisis has sparked weeks of bitter political debate inside the U.S., with the administration saying crime is driving migrants north from Central America and congressional Republicans saying Obama’s policies is leading migrants to believe children and their mothers will be allowed to stay.

In interviews along the primary migrant route north to the United States, dozens of migrants like Gladys indicated that both sides are right.

A vast majority said they were fleeing gang violence that has reached epidemic levels in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in recent years. The migrants also uniformly said they decided to head north because they had heard that a change in U.S. law requires the Border Patrol to swiftly release children and their mothers and let them stay in the United States.

The belief that women and children can safely surrender to authorities the moment they set foot in the U.S. has changed the calculus of tens of thousands of parents who no longer worry about their children finishing the dangerous trip north through Mexico with a potentially deadly multiday hike through the desert Southwest.

“The United States is giving us a great opportunity because now, with this new

law, we don’t have to try to cross the desert where so many people die. We can hand ourselves over directly to the authorities,” Gladys said, adding that she hopes to become a doctor.

The smiling teenager with long black hair said she was more excited about seeing her mother again than she was scared about the trip. Her mother said she was aware of the dangers but finally decided the risk was worth it after five years apart.

Reached by phone at home, the mother said she decided to send for her daughter because “if she gets across she can stay here, that’s what you hear.”

“Now they say that all children need to do is hand themselves over to the Border Patrol,” said the mother, who declined to provide her name because she is in the U.S. illegally.

The migrants’ faith isn’t totally misplaced. While Mexicans generally are returned across the border quickly when they’re caught, overwhelmed border facilities leave the government with no way to care for most Central American children and their parents. The Central American minors who cross the border alone have generally been released into the care of relatives already in the U.S., while mothers with children are let go with a notice to appear later in immigration court.

While many children and families may eventually be ordered out of the U.S., many are reporting in calls back home that they’re free to move around the U.S. while their cases wend through a process that can take years.

The Obama administration estimates that between October 2013 and September 2014 it will have caught 90,000 children trying to illegally cross the Mexican border without their parents. Last year, the U.S. returned fewer than 2,000 children to their native countries.

“The story is that you have to give yourself up to the Border Patrol, provide a contact in the United States

Niños en la frontera: ‘Esto es un asunto urgente humanitario’

Por Hirania Luzardo

El Presidente Barack Obama calificó de un “asunto humanitario urgente” el creciente aumento de niños que cruzan solos la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, de acuerdo con un memorando enviado desde la Casa Blanca este lunes.Obama reiteró que se necesita un «esfuerzo federal unificado y coordinado» para enfrentar el problema y que «las autoridades de las agencias federales dispondrán del personal, equipo, suministros, instalaciones, servicios técnicos y de asesoramiento para ofrecer ayuda humanitaria a los niños afectados, entre la que se comprende vivienda, atención y tratamiento médico, así como transporte».Craig Fugate, director de la Agencia Federal de Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA), está a cargo de un plan de respuesta de varias entidades federales, que incluyen al Departamento de Seguridad Interior y los de Defensa, Estado, Salud y Servicios Sociales, de acuerdo con la agencia AP.El mes pasado el gobierno informó al Congreso que había subestimado cuánto costaría hacer frente a la llegada de niños que cruzan solos la frontera. El gobierno ha solicitado 1,400 millones de dólares adicionales para hacer frente a la situación.Sólo en una semana se encontró a cerca de 370 menores aparentemente abandonados por los llamados “coyotes”,

según informó el Instituto Nacional de Migración.

Los niños y adolescentes fueron rescatados en 14 estados mexicanos entre el 17 y el 24 de marzo y el menor de ellos tenía nueve años. Más de 160 niños viajaban solos, de acuerdo con BBC Mundo.En el 2013, alrededor de 40,000 menores intentaron ingresar a Estados Unidos y fueron detenidos por las autoridades migratorias, informó la organización Kids in needs of Defence (KIND, por sus siglas en inglés).KIND es una organización sin fines de lucros que busca ayuda legal para niños desamparados en la frontera. Si quieres ser voluntario o ayudar en la causa, visita la página supportkind.org.Por otra parte, la organización Coalición Internacional contra la Detención (IDC, por sus siglas en inglés) en su estudio “Niñez Capturada” resaltó el “impacto negativo” que sufren los niños al sufrir prisión a causa de los procesos de detención y posterior deportación a sus países de orígenes.

El drama de los niños en la fronteraEl gran problema es que una gran mayoría de niños quedan abandonados por los coyotes.

Los niños migrantes abandonados en el desierto pueden sufrir asfixia, deshidratación, heridas; ser enganchados a redes del crimen organizado; sometidos a explotación sexual o laboral.

Hispanic Millennials Comfortable With English And Spanish MediaIt’s not news that Hispanic millennials born in the U.S. are more likely to consume English-language media than their foreign-born counterparts -- but what may be surprising is that U.S.-born Hispanic millennials also appear to consume Spanish-language media more than older Hispanics born in the U.S.

That’s according to data from the Hispanic Millennial Project, a collaboration between Sensis and ThinkNow Research. Among Hispanic millennials born in the U.S., 19% said they consume only English-language media, with another 22% consuming “mostly” English-language media, Sensis and ThinkNow found. Some 40% said they consume English- and Spanish-language media equally, 10% said they consume mostly Spanish-language media, and 9% said they consume only Spanish-language media. By comparison, among foreign-born Hispanic millennials, 31% said they

consume “mostly” Spanish-language media, and just 7% said they consume only English-language media. These findings are generally in line with the standard acculturation model, but interestingly, U.S.-born Hispanic millennials were also more likely to say they consume both English- and Spanish-language media than their older U.S.-born counterparts: among

Hispanics ages 35-64 who were born in the U.S., 32% said they consume English- and Spanish-language media equally, compared to 40% for Hispanic millennials.The difference could be the result of a number of factors, including a greater desire to embrace Hispanic identity among younger U.S.-born Hispanics and

their parents (versus previous generations’ desire to “blend in”), and growing availability of Spanish-language media over time. Media companies and research outfits are grappling with the complexity of this rapidly growing market.

In May, Pulpo Media, a cross-platform digital media network targeting Hispanic audiences, unveiled a new acculturation model that combines online and offline data to create more targeted segments within the overall U.S. Hispanic market. The model combines data from the U.S. Census with proprietary first- and third-party data, including country of birth, parent’s country of birth, age of immigration, number of years spent in the U.S., language preference at home and English proficiency, and analyzes the data to create segments that can be targeted down to the ZIP code level. |

and you’ll be freed even though they give you a court date far in the future,” said Ruben Figueroa, a member of the Mesoamerica Migrant Movement, who works in a shelter for migrants crossing the southeast Mexico state of Tabasco. “If you combine this information with the violence in the streets and extortion keeping people from living their lives, the result is a massive exodus.”

Rocio Quinteros worked selling snacks in front of a school in San Miguel, 80 miles outside the capital of El Salvador, until gangsters’ demands for a percentage of her income made it impossible to make a living.

She said that when she could no longer afford to pay, members of the Mara Salvatrucha gang threatened to recruit her 14-year-old son instead. This month, she told local gang members she was taking her four children, ages 11 to 17, to see their sick grandmother in another city. Then they abandoned their packed-dirt home on the northeastern edge of the city and headed north.

“They ask you for 100 and you give it, then they ask for 200, and they suffocate

you until you have to hand over everything, even your house,” she said as she waited with her youngest child in the women’s section of Arriaga’s migrant shelter. “If we had stayed in El Salvador, I already would have had to bury one of my sons.”

With no toys to entertain them, the children in the women’s section watch TV until their parents hear the train is on its way. As she waited, Quinteros spoke to her older children through the bars of the metal door of the men’s section of the shelter.

In Carmensa, the neighborhood that she and her children abandoned, dozens of homes sit empty because their owners have gone to the United States. The remaining residents described daily lives marred by constant fear.

Gonzalo Velasquez, 66, said he had fled the countryside for San Miguel when El Salvador’s 1980s civil war forced him off his small farm in the countryside.

“I lived through the war but this is different,” he said. “Before, we knew who was shooting. Today nobody knows ... If you have little kids, young ones, it’s better to go so they don’t go into the gangs . the stores are closing because

they get asked for payoffs and can’t pay, so it’s better to close.”

Quinteros said she believed she was saving her children by fleeing to a place where they wouldn’t be subject to gang recruitment.

“On the way north you have the hope of living and the risk of death,” she said. “Back home death is certain.”

The Obama administration said Friday that it was opening family detention centers on the border to reduce the number of women and children that are released. Vice President Joe Biden flew to Guatemala the same day to emphasize the dangers of the northbound journey and the low chances of staying in the U.S. for good.

It’s a tough sell for Central American migrants who say life at home has simply become intolerable.

As Gladys and her companions boarded the train Thursday night, Natanael Lemus, a 30-year-old mechanic from El Salvador, dragged his 10-year-old son, Edwin, and 12-year-old daughter,

Cynthia, by the hands as he ran alongside, asking those already aboard

for help getting them onto the roof.On the crowded and slippery roof, Lemus cut black plastic trash bags into raincoats for his wife and kids and tied them to the train with ropes so they wouldn’t fall off. He explained that he wanted to leave behind his workshop in the capital, San Salvador, because extortion made it impossible to earn a living.

“If you buy a car, they come to extort you. A machine for the workshop, they come to extort you. If they see you put on some nice pants or sneakers, they come to extort you,” Lemus said. “You can’t work like that. You go bankrupt.”He said that after taking his wife and children safely north he would wait in Mexico for a chance to cross on his own and hopefully not get caught.

But most important, he said, was getting his wife and children into the hands of the Border Patrol, the first step in what he hoped would be a new and better life. |

A mural shows popular routes through Mexico at a shelter in Tenosique, Mexico.As Americans continue to debate border security, deportation policies and the possible path to citizenship for people living in the country illegally, the Obama administration is facing a political crossroads as it tries to cope with an immigration system that is overwhelmed.Among the issues is the skyrocketing number of unaccompanied minors. Since October, more than 47,000 children traveling without parents have been caught trying to cross the southwest border, a 92 percent increase over the same period last year. The administration said last week that it was starting a program to provide lawyers for children facing deportation, many of whom are fleeing poor conditions in their home country.Julia Preston and Kirk Semple, who cover immigration for The Times, and Damien Cave, who covers Mexico,

Central America and the Caribbean, will answer readers’ questions about immigration and the road ahead for the administration.Mr. Cave is currently traveling up Interstate 35 chronicling how immigration has changed the middle of America and transformed many aspects of communities along the way.Please post your questions in the comments section of this article. Answers to selected questions will be published below.Q. PogoWasRight from Melbourne, Fla., asked: Will any immigration reform stop the current hoardes of unaccompanied children? How?A. Immigration reform could lessen the flow of unaccompanied minors, depending on the legislation. Many unaccompanied children in the current surge are hoping to reunite with parents and families who have long been living in the United States. The children cross the border illegally because there are no

legal pathways for them to come to the United States or for parents to visit home countries and be able to return here. Legalization, even with no pathway to citizenship, would give documents to immigrants here illegally so they could travel home to see families left behind, relieving some of the pressure. Also, a major cause of the crisis is inadequate resources for enforcement in South Texas and, especially, for the struggling immigration court system nationwide. Many children end up in legal limbo because of backlogs and lack of good representation for them in the courts. The Senate bill passed last year would provide more than $40 billion for border security and significant new funds for the courts. — JULIA PRESTONQ. Siobhan from New York asked: The last time people here illegally were given legal status, there were many more than anticipated. The approved estimate for the number of immigrants here illegally is 11 million. But there are

other estimates that put that number at over 20 million. What will happen if that latter number is closer to the real one? What will the impact be on programs where they now qualify?A. Thanks for your question. The federal government is scrambling to respond to the wave of unaccompanied minors attempting to cross the southwest border into the United States. Most of those who are detained by Customs and Border Protection, an arm of the Department of Homeland Security, are put into deportation proceedings and, within several days, handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services, which cares for them until they can be released to family members or legal guardians in the United States. (Most illegal immigrants from Mexico can be sent back across the border almost immediately.)Those who are facing deportation are released with orders to appear before an immigration judge on a specific date. Many of them, usually with the help of legal counsel, may decide to apply for some form of relief, such as asylum or special visas for victims of crime or abuse. It will fall to the judges in the immigration and family courts to determine the validity of these claims. — KIRK SEMPLEQ. PogoWasRight from Melbourne, Fla., asked: U.S. officials expect that this year there will be, instead of the normally expected 10,000, more than 100,000 unaccompanied, “illegal immigrant”, children crossing our Southern border. Alone. Why have 200,000 Central American parents, in a short span of time, all decided almost as one, to abandon their children and send them, alone, to the U.S.? Does anyone know?A. I think a lot of people are still trying to figure out the exact causes of this surge of young people from Central America trying to get across the border, and based on my reporting in the region and with experts, there is not one cause, but many.The two countries that are the sources

for most of the unaccompanied children showing up at the border – at least as of last year – are Honduras and Guatemala. In Guatemala, according to researchers who have interviewed dozens of these children, many are fleeing areas that experienced horrific storms and flooding over the past couple of years, increasing desperation and leading many young people, mostly teenagers, to pack up and flee.Violence in Guatemala, especially the area near the Mexican border where drug cartels hold sway, is also a factor there, and especially in Honduras, which has the world’s highest murder rate. But the challenges go beyond just violence; what you also have in many cases are families divided by previous migration and – ever since Honduras’ 2009 coup -- declining work prospects even for children who are strong students from relatively middle-class families.Let me give you an example: A teenaged girl from Honduras who I met at a legal clinic in Los Angeles. She had just arrived from Honduras, and she had an infant in her arms. She was pregnant when made the arduous journey and she came to L.A. because her mother lived there but they had not seen each other for around a decade because her mother had come north to try and make the money needed to support her family. It had worked for a while; the girl told me she was studying at a private school. But then, she said, she hit puberty and gang members in her neighborhood started to harass her, as they do to most girls coming of age.She tried to avoid them, she said, but ended up getting raped by a particularly aggressive thug. Her grandmother, who she lived with, shunned her. She lived with the parents of a friend in another part of the city for a while, but then decided to come north.Now how much of that decision had to do with the policy that allows most unaccompanied minors to stay in the United States at least temporarily? I’ve written about a Mexican town where rumors about the United States’ asylum

system led many families to head north, surprising immigration officials in San Diego. The degree to which the United States welcomes immigration and immigrants (officially or unofficially, through employers) always plays some kind of role in the decision to migrate. But for many, like that girl, the factors pushing them away tend to be extremely powerful and they are often disconnected from parents.In the United States, these issues tend to be less understood or emphasized in discussions about the issue. But with more and more children coming north, the challenges of Central America are increasingly difficult to ignore. — DAMIEN CAVEQ. Siobhan from New York asked: The last time we gave legal status to people here illegally, it ushered in a “land rush” of millions more. Right now, we’re seeing tens of thousands of kids pouring over the border, or mothers with young children, because–if quotes from those arriving are to be believed–of a perceived change in how they will be handled. How will we handle this? Will these be more people who should not be separated from their families?A. Many of the unaccompanied minors say they have been driven to migrate because of violence and the threat of gang recruitment in their hometowns. Others have been motivated by economic imperatives or by a desire to rejoin parents who immigrated to the United States years ago. And as you suggested, some have apparently been motivated by a perceived change in the way the United States handles child immigrants. The Obama administration has emphasized that there has been no change in the country’s policies toward undocumented immigrant children -- at least, no change that would affect the status of the new arrivals. Part of the misunderstanding, officials say, may be due to a two-year-old policy that offers certain young undocumented immigrants a temporary reprieve from deportation. But one of the strict conditions for eligibility is that an applicant must have continuously

resided in the United States since June 15, 2007.Meanwhile, as the government responds to the crisis on this side of the border, it is also trying to curb the flow at its source. Federal officials say they are in constant contact with their counterparts in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico and have launched public-information campaigns in those countries dissuading people from making the perilous journey and clarifying that newcomers would not be eligible for residency under any pending immigration-reform bills. — KIRK SEMPLEQ. Hallam Tuck from Gallatin, N.Y., asked: Although it seems unlikely that comprehensive immigration reform will be passed in the near future, what do you believe to be the level of preparation at the federal and state levels, and how do you believe any obstacles to the implementation of legalization would be best overcome?A. We have the recent example of the DACA program – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. In two years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, in a superhuman bureaucratic effort, approved more than 550,000 deportation deferrals, including work permits. The agency survived a big rush in the early days and has kept DACA reviews going at a reasonable rate. Many Obama administration officials and advocates regarded that as an encouraging test run for a larger legalization. There was a cost, though. Because USCIS staff was shifted to DACA, thousands of U.S. citizens were separated for many months from foreign spouses and children abroad due to slow processing of family visas. USCIS is a fee-based agency that receives no substantial federal funding. So the trick would be to charge fees and penalties high enough to pay for an efficient legalization program, but not so high that immigrants couldn’t afford it. The Senate bill passed last year has unspecified fees and a $1000 penalty. We have not seen any legalization bill from the House. — JULIA PRESTON |

Jeb Bush says all the speculation about whether he’ll run for president in 2016 is actually getting him more attention than if he had already entered the race.The former Republican governor of Florida said that’s not by design, and that he’ll make his decision before year’s end.He told Fox News Channel in an interview that the state of politics is “crazy right now.”Bush says one factor in his decision will be whether he can deliver an optimistic, hopeful message without getting drawn into a political “mud fight.” He says the other main factor in his decision will be whether it’s OK with his family if he ran.Bush has antagonized many Republicans by supporting an immigration overhaul and educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade known as Common Core.On immigration, he said that those who come into the country illegally generally do so because they had no other means to provide for their family, and what they did is “not a felony.”“It’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family,” Bush said. “I honestly think that that is a different kind of crime. There should be a price paid, but it shouldn’t rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families.”The interview with Bush occurred at his father’s presidential library during the celebration of the 25th anniversary of George. H. W. Bush’s presidency.©2014 The Associated Press.

Billboard Promoting Health Care for ALL - including Undocumented Immigrants Banned from from Sacramento Airport

The banned billboard courtesy of KCRA.comHere is some news from California, not Arizona, that will surprise you. A billboard promoting health care for all -- including the undocumented -- has been banned from the Sacramento International Airport because airport authorities have deemed it to be “too controversial.” The banned ad featured undocumented immigrants promoting health care for all.Airport officials in a statement sent to KCRA 3 that «In-terminal advertising at Sacramento International Airport is managed by Clear Channel Airports under a contract with the Sacramento County Department of Airports. The California Endowment ad was

declined because it did not meet the advertising display policy set forth in the agreement we established with Clear Channel, which requires that under no circumstances shall advertising be displayed that would ‹involve the country or the airport in controversial, social, moral, political or ethical issues.’”Officials from the California Endowment, a nonprofit health foundation, expressed surprised that the billboard was rejected, despite a $40,000, three-year contract for ad space at the airport. Similar ads have run in convenience stores and small markets and laundromats and can be found all over the state. |
