MEXICO (AP): El gobierno de México está dispuesto a examinar las preocupaciones expresadas por las autoridades estadounidenses tarjetas de identificación consular entregadas a mexicanos que viven en los Estados Unidos, dijo el miércoles el secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, Luis Ernesto Derbez. El funcionario respondió así a la aprobación por la Cámara de Representantes de una medida de control sobre la tarjeta de identidad, conocida como matrícula consular, y utilizada por ciudadanos mexicanos para abrir cuentas bancarias, enviar dinero u obtener una licencia de manejo en algunos estados. El gobierno de México continuará emitiendo esas matrículas a fin de ayudar a sus ciudadanos que viven en el extranjero, siguiendo las normas de la Convención de Viena sobre relaciones consulares, dijo Derbez. El funcionario dijo que «seguiremos emitiendo las tarjetas a través de los consulados». Al mismo tiempo, indicó la disposición del gobierno mexicano a continuar cooperando a fin de satisfacer los requisitos de seguridad interna tanto en Estados Unidos como en México, sobre «pero siempre dentro de los límites de la ley internacional». La medida de control de las tarjetas fue aprobada el martes por la noche por la Cámara de Representantes. Uno de los auspiciantes de la medida, el republicano John Hostettler, citó testimonios recientes del FBI ante la cámara en el sentido de que las cédulas pueden dar lugar a fraudes. Pero Derbez dijo que las tarjetas satisfacen los estándares «establecidos en cualquier departamento de policía o de transporte de los Estados Unidos».

But beyond the issue of the levy approval that TPS needs to avoid a $16 million-dollar revenue shortfall, Sanders continues to spread the word about what his administration has accomplished in his three years at the helm of the district and what he sees for the future. In an interview last week withla Prensa, Sanders addressed some issues of special concern for Toledo s Latino community. Upgrading the TPS outreach to Latino families is of major importance, said Sanders. Jose Luna, TPS staff member who has been a liaison to the Hispanic community will now be reporting to the Next Week superintendent s office so that Sanders can be directly involved in the decisions and programs that effect Toledo s Latino students.

El empresario artístico Emilio Estefan, por su parte, consideró que «Celia mantuvo a Cuba entre todos nosotros. Fue la más grande y está recogiendo lo que sembró».

3 July/julio 23, 2003 Lansing: Last week, state representatives Steve Tobocman (D-Detroit) and Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland) introduced the Michigan Immigration Clerical Act (MICA), legislation that will protect Michigan residents from the unscrupulous practices of those who would take advantage of immigrants in providing clerical assistance for immigration matters. Language barriers and lack of familiarity with U.S. laws and customs make immigrant communities particularly vulnerable to consumer fraud, particularly in migrant labor communities and areas with a large immigrant population, such as Southwest Detroit, Dearborn, and Holland. This problem is particularly prevalent in the Hispanic community, Tobocman said. Many businesses advertise as notario publicos, which often translates into licensed attorney in many Spanishspeaking countries. Yet, these businesses have no qualifications as either an attorney or sometimes even as a notary public. The result is that many Spanish-speaking immigrants end up paying thousands of dollars for little more than document transcription. This must stop. Abuse ranges from accidental acts of careless entrepreneurs to the outright despicable. There have been documented cases where a business promises to obtain permanent residency or citizenship status for an immigrant for a several thousand-dollar fee, only to have the scam artist close shop and run off with the immigrant s money. Other cases include individuals with little or no experience charging thousands of dollars to transcribe documents. The Michigan Immigration Clerical Act will: License and raise the standard for those profiting from the practice of assisting persons with immigration services; Guarantee consumers seeking immigration services from a notary public a written contract in both English and their native language; Protect consumers harmed by fraudulent notary publics and immigration clerical assistants with a surety bond of $50,000; Ensure that anyone advertising as a government-approved immigration clerical assistant clearly denotes that they are not attorneys; Be self-funding by having the licensees pay for the costs of administration and regulation, not the tax-paying general public; and, Exempt from regulation La Prensa Michigan Immigration Clerical Act introduced in the House to protect immigrants from unscrupulous business practices Los integrantes del cabildo de la ciudad de Muskegon aprobaron por unanimidad el reconocimiento de la MCAS como documento valido de identificacion para los Ciudadanos Mexicanos que soliciten o acudan a los servicios que ofrece esa ciudad. La presentación de la iniciativa de reconocimiento estuvo a cargo del Alcalde de la ciudad, Sr. Stephen Warmington y conto con el cabildeo de varios lideres de family, friends, accredited representatives, attorneys and supervised law students. Additionally, churches, nonprofit organizations and others not seeking to profit off these services could obtain exemptions from the licensure and bonding requirements by providing evidence of their qualifications; and, Ensuring that anyone who profits from helping people with immigration services is properly qualified and licensed will stop the con artists and thieves who prey on those who wish to become American citizens, Huizenga said. I believe the state should do everything in its power to protect these hopeful citizens from these kinds of scams, and this legislation would be the first step in the right direction. La ciudad de Muskegon en Michigan, reconocio martes el 8 de julio la Matricula Consular organizaciones comun-itarias, entre otras, Connie Navarro, Mary McDonald de la Community Foundation, la Hermana Lupita, de la Iglesia Catolica de San Juan, Armando Hernández de BankOne y la Sra. Marilu Olivarez Manson, de la Comision de Asuntos Hispanos del Gobierno de Michigan, quienes sostuvieron diversas reuniones tanto con el administrador como con los integrantes del Concejo de la ciudad para hablar de la nueva Matricula y sus beneficios a la comunidad y a los ciudadanos Mexicanos que viven, trabajan, estudian o transitan por esta region del pais. Muskegon es una localidad situada en el suroeste Michigan, riverena del lago Michigan, con habitantes y sede del condado del mismo nombre que agrupa una poblacion cinco veces mayor, en donde el porcentaje de poblacion Mexicana o Mexicoamericana es del 7%, según datos del ultimo censo. Su origen se remonta al siglo XIX, y esta ligado a la economica de explotacion de madera, luego el petroleo y ahora los servicios turisticos. Con la incorporación de esta importante ciudad, la cobertura de ciudades y condados que reconocen la MCAS en esta jurisdiccion consular incluye las ciudades de Muskegon, Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Pontiac, Monroe, Southgate, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo y los condados de Wayne y Ocena en Michigan, asi como Cleveland, Toledo, Femont y el condado de Sandusky en Ohio. Mexican ID cards (Continued from Page 1) foreign aid programs, passed the House Tuesday evening, The larger bill passed Wednesday. One of the measure s sponsors, Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., cited recent testimony by the FBI in a House hearing that the cards are vulnerable to fraud. The cards, known as matricula consular, are issued by the Mexican government to its citizens living in the United States. It allows cardholders to get driver s licenses in some states, open bank accounts and send money home. Police have found them useful when arresting some illegal immigrants. Steven McCraw, with the FBI s Office of Intelligence, testified at a House hearing in late June that the card is not a reliable form of identification because there is no way to verify the card holder s identity. Multiple cards can be issued under the same name, address and photograph because the Mexican government does not have a centralized cardholder database and does not have the technology to verify identities of card applicants, McCraw said. The White House is leading a review of the consular cards. A White House spokesman was not available for comment. Hostettler said in a statement that the provision, cosponsored by Rep. Elton Page 3 Gallegly, R-Calif., does not address acceptance of the card or prohibit their issuance, but extends authority to the State Department to regulate them. Rep. Ciro Rodríguez, Congressional Hispanic Caucus chairman, said the measure is one of an onslaught of continuous anti- Hispanic amendments the Republicans insist on submitting. One thing that needs to be clarified in their muddy argument is the fact that immigrants cannot use matriculas to obtain work authorizations, the right to vote, to obtain public benefits, nor do they provide an immediate legalization status, said Rodríguez, D-Texas. Hostettler s measure includes allowing the State Department to require that countries issuing the cards provide them only to citizens of their country and to verify identities. It also allows the State Department to require countries have accurate records of cards issued and to have anti-fraud systems. It provides penalties for countries whose violations create a national security risk or facilitates fraud. The measure requires the State Department to stop issuing visas to citizens of countries committing violations. Ironically, the Indiana governor s office announced last week that state agencies would recognize the Mexican card as a form of identification. Jef effr frey C.

4 Página 4 La Prensa July/julio 23, 2003 Former government worker pleads guilty to smuggling immigrants DETROIT (AP): A former government worker has pleaded guilty for her role in a scheme to illegally obtain documents that allowed immigrants to remain in the United States, a prosecutor said Thursday. Janice Halstead, a former employee of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, was accused of illegally distributing forms to people who sought help from an immigration consulting business in Dearborn. The forms gave socalled advance parole status to people otherwise not legally admissible to the United States. The status allows legal aliens to leave and then re-enter the country. About 130 people from Yemen and Lebanon are believed to have benefited from Halstead s efforts. Halstead pleaded guilty to conspiracy to smuggle aliens into the United States and accepting money in exchange for issuing documents for entry into the United States, U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Collins said. The violations allegedly were committed from 1998 through 2002 when Halstead, formerly of Detroit, worked as an information officer for the INS, now the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Collins did not say when Halstead would be sentenced or what her sentence could be. WASHINGTON (AP): The House Judiciary Committee approved a free trade agreement with Chile on Wednesday, but the pact still faces opposition from lawmakers unhappy with its immigration provisions.

Contact Marisol Ibarra, or EEUU: Inmigración es parte de polémica sobre acuerdo con Chile Por NESTOR IKEDA WASHINGTON (AP): El tratado de libre comercio con Chile fue aprobado el miércoles en un comité clave de la Cámara de Representantes, pero no pudo librarse de la polémica de los temas migratorios que amenazan su aprobación expeditiva. El tratado fue aprobado por votación oral en el Comité de Asuntos Jurídicos cuando el presidente del comité, el republicano James F. Sensenbrenner, pidió la votación sin debate ni enmienda. Sin embargo, luego, la representante Sheila Jackson-Lee, demócrata de Texas, cuestionó el tratado afirmando que contenía cláusulas sobre inmigración que aparentemente los negociadores estadounidenses no tenían autoridad para negociarlos. Las preocupaciones por esas cláusulas han sido una constante en el debate en ambas cámaras a las que ha sido sometido el tratado hasta ahora. Jackson-Lee puso en duda la autoridad de la Oficina del Representante Comercial de los Estados Unidos (USTR) de negociar acuerdos de inmigración. Richard Mills, portavoz de USTR, no estuvo disponible para un comentario al respecto pedido por AP. Pero el lunes, al comparecer ante un comité, Regina Vargo, subdirectora del USTR y principal negociadora del acuerdo con Chile, dijo que si bien los acuerdos tenían efectivamente provisiones sobre inmigración éstas respondían al propósito de competitividad empresarial. «Los acuerdos van a facilitar el ingreso temporal de empresarios, pero éstos no podrán solicitar al amparo de ese ingreso, residencia permanente, empleo o ciudadanía», dijo Vargo. El senador Orrin Hatch, presidente del Comité de Asuntos Jurídicos, ha dicho que el Senado debatirá el tratado y posiblemente tomaría una decisión antes del receso de agosto. Ese también era el propósito de la Cámara (Continued from Page 1) wants to see TPS initiatives brought in line with the needs of the community. First, he wants to see Latino academic performance enhanced. Second, he wants to explore how to enlist more Latino mentors and tutors. Third, he wants to see a focus on improving the graduation rate of Latino students. In Toledo, the Latino dropout rate is close to 50 percent. For this effort, Sanders envisions a twofold approach that will look at both the school structure or curriculum and look to the home environment to assist in promoting school efforts. We have difficulty, said Sanders, combating cultural and environmental challenges that don t tie into our school objectives. Fourth, Sanders wants to look at the increased recruitment of Latino teachers and leaders for prominent roles within the district. Sanders expressed confidence that the challenges of the Latino drop out rate and educational attainment can be successfully met in his term in office even as he recognizes the battle [in the Latino community] between what education has to offer and the other factors that may not best be represented by continued education. Indeed, as Sanders reflects on his three years to date as TPS superintendent, he believes he has every reason to believe that his administration is not only on track but also is capable of a good deal more. Proficiency scores, as he predicted at the onset of his term, have risen in the district. Excitement about several new projects for the upcoming school year, particularly the two elementary singlesex academies at Lincoln and Stewart, has been building, not just district-wide, but around the nation, said Sanders. He pointed to an editorial that had run the previous week in the Cleveland Plain Dealer commending TPS for taking such initiative. He also spoke of the increased online capabilities that all parents will have in the very near future to communicate with TPS officials and to access information about what their children are doing in school, what homework assignments students have and what major student school projects lie ahead. But there will apparently never be any sense for Sanders that his mission is complete and he can stand pat. Introducing reform and change, he made clear, is his If we do not care for each other, who will care for us? It is not our preferences that cause problems, but our attachments to them. AUSTIN (AP): A disproportionate number of Hispanics and blacks are in Texas prisons, according to a study released Tuesday. While four in every 10 Texans are either Hispanic or black, the minorities account for about seven in every 10 Texas prisoners, according to the report by the National Council of La Raza. We are extremely troubled by these data, said Raul Yzaguirre, NCLR president. These are not just stade Representantes. El tratado con Chile fue endosado la semana pasada por el Comité de Medios y Arbitros de la cámara baja y el Comité de Finanzas del Senado. A su paso por el Congreso, los legisladores podrán rechazarlo o aprobarlo, pero no enmendarlo, según la ley de promoción comercial o fast track. La Cámara de Representantes sesionará esta semana y la próxima antes de entrar en receso de todo el mes de agosto. El Senado operará todavía una semana más. El acuerdo con Chile abre formalmente el ingreso a Estados Unidos de inversionistas, visitantes con motivo de negocios y trabajadores profesionales temporales chilenos. Jackson-Lee considera que ese aspecto es también discriminatorio porque concede visados a personas que no han tenido que hacer un turno como muchos en el exterior e incluso en Estados Unidos, donde están a la espera de regularizar su estatus migratorio. Sanders stumps for school innovation for Latinos mission. Such innovation, he said, will eventually turn TPS into a world-class school district which will play a huge part in the revitalization of Toledo itself. And, some of that, gets back to the money, of course. Should the renewal of the operating levy fail in August, the negative impact on TPS and the Toledo community will be huge, Sanders emphasized. If the renewal fails, more staff layoffs and program cutbacks are inevitable and funding for future innovations, such as the single-sex academies, will evaporate. In the midst of criticism about funding, about innovation, about progress on proficiency scores, about building new schools, Sanders has managed to maintain his perspective. Recently his plan for singlesex academies was assailed by one critic as being a move of desperation, not innovation. Sanders can see the viewpoint of that particular critic. As far as our schools are concerned, said Sanders, we are desperate for improvement.

Quedara viva en en nuestros corazones gracias a la gran variedad de de música que nos a dejado a toda la comunidad latina. CELIA CRUZ; Nacio en el barrio de Santo Suarez de la Habana Cuba un 21 de octubre de Sus padres eran humildes pero siempre la impulsarón a estudiar. En su adolesencia ganó un concurso de nuevos talentos llamado la Hora del Te, el mismo que le habrió las puertas para entrar al grupo de la Sononora Matancera, y con los cuales abandonó Cuba. Al principio del 2003 se le detecto cancer cerebral por el cual fue operada de emergencia. Durante su carrera como cantante Celia Cruz grabó mas de 50 discos, participó en una pelicula llamada The Mambo Kings (los reyes del mambo) con Antonio Banderas y participó en varios programas de televisión y novelas mexicanas. Falleció en su penthouse de Fort Lee, Nueva Jersey el pasado16 de julio de 2003, a causa del cancer cerebral. LA REINA DE LA SALSA o también conocida como la GUARACHERA CELIA CRUZ. Sera enterradá en Nueva York este martes 22 de julio. Y no debemos de guardar un minuto de silencio si no toda una vida recordando a una persona la cual nos a hecho bailar y cantar por muchas decadas y lo seguira haciendo atravez de su legado musical, y si no como muestra basta solo un botón. Aquí les doy unos titulos de la gran cantidad que ella nos a dejado, Bemba Colora.- La Negra Tiene Tumbao,- y Carnaval, y presisamente recuerden eso que «QUE LA VIDA ES UN CARNAVAL». Descanse en Paz!
