Burkett & Sons, Inc.

WASHINGTON (AP):Texas lawmakers are call-ing on the Department ofHomeland Security to giveMexicans the same free-doms Canadians get whentraveling through theUnited States.

Mexicans can stay upto 72 hours in the UnitedStates, but must have aborder crossing card, alsoknown as a laser visa, froma U.S. consulate whentraveling to the UnitedStates for tourism, visitswith relatives or to dobusiness.

Their travel is restrictedto up to 25 miles from theborder, except at certainports of entry on the Ari-zona-México border.

Canadians can stay inthe United States up to sixmonths and are grantedentry with proof or decla-ration of Canadian citi-zenship. They are free totravel throughout theUnited States.

To stay in the countrysix months, a Mexicanmust have a border cross-ing card, submit a form,an I-94, at a port of entryand pay $6. A Mexicanwanting to travel beyondthe 25 miles from the bor-der must apply for a regu-lar tourist or businessvisa.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Rep. SolomonOrtiz, D-Corpus Christi,say the unequal treatmentof Mexicans, hurts theeconomies of U.S. com-

munities along the U.S.-Mexican border.

“I have not found anygood reason why we wouldtreat people from Méxicoand Canada differently,”Cornyn said. “Mexicanscome in. They invest in ourreal estate. They have busi-nesses. They make a tremen-dous contribution to oureconomy.” Cornyn plans tointroduce legislation on theissue as early as Friday.

Cross border traffic iscommon in many border cit-ies. At some U.S. malls onthe border, cars with Mexi-can license plates arereadily spotted in parkinglots. Some families haverelatives on both sides ofthe border and some busi-nesses have offices on eachside.

“We’re happy to workwith Congress on any rulesand regulations that theywould like to change. Wehave to look into it to seewhat should be or could bedone,” said DanielleSheahan, a spokeswomanfor Customs and BorderProtection in the HomelandSecurity Department. Shedid not immediately knowwhy the different restric-tions were created for Mexi-cans.

Ortiz was plans to send aletter to Homeland SecuritySecretary Tom Ridge urg-ing him to revise the poli-cies. Ortiz said the policiescan be changed administra-tively, without congres-sional action.

“We are asking that youdo precisely that,” Ortiz saidin the letter he was circulat-

ing among border statelawmakers Thursday forsignatures.

Border business offi-cials brought the differ-ences in treatment of Mexi-can and Canadian citizensto the lawmakers’ atten-tion.

“We see our Méxicoborder neighbors as one ofus. We’ve been raised hereand we see our neighborsas part of economic devel-opment,” said NorbertoSalinas, mayor of Mission.“When we go to México,we don’t get 72 hours.”

The disparity has be-come more visible as thefederal government hasadopted tighter border se-curity measures since theSept. 11, 2001 terrorist at-tacks.

Cornyn said that thechecks of some laser visaholders has shown thatsome Mexicans stay pastthe 72 hours, but the limitpreviously was not strictlyenforced.

He and Ortiz are con-cerned that as the federalgovernment puts in placean entry-exit system to en-sure foreigners don’t over-stay their visas, Mexicanswill have more troublecrossing into the UnitedStates.

“There’s just a big dis-connect between the real-ity of life on our borderand the understanding ofgovernment officials in-side the Beltway,” Cornynsaid. “We ought not to cre-ate obstacles for peoplewho contribute to theeconomy.”

Lawmakers want Mexicans, Canadianstreated equallyBy SUZANNE GAMBOAAssociated Press Writer NEWARK, N.J. (AP), Nov.

11: Workers recently arrestedin federal raids filed a rack-eteering lawsuit accusing Wal-Mart of conspiring with con-tractors in a criminal enterprisethat violated the civil rightsand wage protections of immi-grants who cleaned its stores.

The federal court lawsuitseeks class-action status forperhaps thousands of immi-grants, legal and illegal, hiredby the contractors to clean thestores of the world’s largestretailer, said a lawyer for theplaintiffs, James L. Linsey.

The scheme by Wal-Martand the contractors violatedthe Racketeering Influencedand Corrupt OrganizationsAct, known as RICO, by sys-tematically depriving theworkers of labor law protec-tions over at least the last threeyears, according to the lawsuit.

“It’s all designed to ex-ploit the weakest, most vul-nerable people in the world,”Linsey said Tuesday, a dayafter the lawsuit was filed.

The lawsuit seeks unspeci-fied monetary damages andan injunction barring Wal-Mart from further violations.

The nine named plaintiffs,all from México, were among250 people arrested Oct. 23 by

federal immigration agentsduring raids at 60 Wal-Martstores in 21 states, includingTennessee. They have beenreleased to await deportationproceedings, Linsey said.

Wal-Mart spokeswomanMona Williams said the claimshave no merit and the com-pany will seek to have thelawsuit dismissed.

“The Wal-Mart culture isbased on respect for otherpeople, and we would nevercondone treating anyonepoorly, legal or otherwise. Wewant to get to the bottom ofthis and are as eager as anyoneto see whatever evidence fed-eral officials might have,”Williams said.

She said some 700 of its3,000 U.S. stores are nowcleaned by outside contrac-tors, down from 1,500 severalyears ago.

The company acknowl-edged last week that federalprosecutors gave notice it isthe target of a criminal inves-tigation into the hiring of ille-gal immigrants.

An employer can face civiland criminal penalties forknowingly hiring illegal im-migrants or failing to complywith certain employee record-keeping regulations.

The nine workers, whocleaned stores in New Jersey,

maintain they were deniedovertime pay despite workingat least 56 hours a week andthat contractors failed to with-hold taxes or make requiredworkers’ compensation con-tributions.

The contractor arrange-ment was “an effort to disguiseWal-Mart’s role as a jointemployer of its janitors,” thelawsuit said. “Wal-Mart wasfully aware of and aided andabetted the rampant violationof immigration and labor lawand other laws by its variousjanitorial contractors.”

Wal-Mart shares rose 16cents to close at $58.28 on theNew York Stock Exchange.

Editor’s Note: TheWalmartization of the UnitedStates is having a drastic nega-tive impact upon the standardof living of many workers,many of whom live at povertylevels. Grocery stores in south-ern California are bracing forthe entrance of 40 new Wal-Mart supercenters next year.Wal-Mart is not unionized andpays its workers approxi-mately one-third less than itscompetitors. Wal-Mart is alsokeeping down its costs by us-ing undocumented immigrantworkers as illustrated in fed-eral agents raiding Wal-Martsin 21 states and seizing hun-dreds of its workers.

GUATEMALA (AP), nov.15: El ex dictador Efraín RíosMontt transmitió el primermensaje público desde eldomingo, cuando losguatemaltecos sepultaron enlas urnas sus aspiracionespresidenciales, lo que fueaceptado públicamente por elcandidato.

El general apagó elnerviosismo que provocabasu misterioso paradero alreconocer que su partidocomo institución del ordenpúblico hemos aceptado elresultado de la primera vueltaelectoral y reconocemos losresultados del TribunalSupremo Electoral.

Ríos Montt no dejó desembrar dudas entre sussimpatizantes cuando pidió

«a la familia guatemaltecaaceptar mi felicitación por elestoicismo con que soportó elvejamen a que fue sujeta por laalteración del pardon».

En el mensaje que fuetransmitido el viernes por lanoche por un canal detelevisión de coberturanacional el caudillo tambiéndestacó que «nuestro partidoes la primera fuerza nacional»,pues consiguió un alto númerode las 331 alcaldíasmunicipales y más de 40escaños en el congreso.

En 30 poblados del interiordel país existen conflictos yprotestas por supuestasirregularidades en los comiciosdel domingo y según AbnerParedes, coordinador de laorganización Mirador Elec-

toral 2003, «en la mayoría delos casos son manipuladospor los partidos politicos».

Ríos Montt terminó terceroen la contienda presidencialcon 18% de los votos y fuesuperado por Alvaro Colomde la Unidad Nacional de laEsperanza, que logró 27% yOscar Berger de la GranAlianza Nacional que sumó35,5%, quienes contenderánen una ronda final.

A pesar de la masivaasistencia de guatemaltecosa los centros de votación deldomingo la participación enlas elecciones fue del 55%,una cifra que no representa alnúmero de personas que seformaba por horas para podervotar y no lo consiguieronpor deficiencias en el padrónelectoral que los excluyó.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP):Ohio State University offi-cials say tighter security regu-lations implemented follow-ing the Sept. 11, 2001, terror-ist attacks are at least partly toblame for a drop in foreignstudent registrations.

This is only the secondtime in 50 years that OhioState has had fewer foreignstudents than the year before.

“The number of interna-tional students has droppedonly one other year. That wasin 1998 during the begin-ning of the economic crisis inAsia,” John Greisberger, di-rector of the school’s Officeof International Education,said Tuesday.

Ohio State has long hadone of the largest foreign stu-dent enrollments in the na-tion.

This fall, Ohio State fellfrom seventh to 10th in for-eign-student enrollments, with4,274 students. Last fall, therewere 4,342 foreign students.

The federal governmentbegan tightening security onforeign visitors, including

Rare drop in number offoreign students

students, two years ago.Added security measures

include background checksfor students from certain coun-tries and those studying infields deemed sensitive. Allstudents are required to sub-mit more personal informa-tion and be interviewed.

The result is an unpredict-able waiting period, ranginganywhere from a few days tomonths after students havebeen accepted.

“We’re encouraging thegraduate programs to makequicker decisions because(students) may have a longwait before they’re going toget a visa,” said Marie Taris,director of graduate, interna-tional and professional ad-missions at Ohio State.

Some students who wantedto begin this fall have to startin the winter quarter becausethey had to wait for an inter-view, Taris said.

HOUSTON (AP): Federalprosecutors won’t seek thedeath penalty against an Ohiowoman charged in a smugglingoperation that led to the deathsof 19 illegal immigrants trappedin a sweltering trailer, accord-ing to a court motion.

Nancy Herrera, spokes-woman for the U.S. attorney’soffice in Houston, declined tosay Wednesday whether FatimaHolloway, 29, of Cleveland, washelping prosecutors in ex-change for leniency. Holloway

has pleaded innocent.“The assessment of the evi-

dence as it would be presentedat trial on Ms. Holloway’s roleresulted in (U.S. Attorney Gen-eral John Ashcroft’s) decisionauthorizing this office not toseek the death penalty,’’Herrera said.

Stanley Schneider,Holloway’s attorney, wouldnot elaborate on the govern-ment motion, filed last month.

“She gave a statementwhen she first went into cus-tody. That hasn’t changed,”he said. “There are no deals as

yet. There may never be a deal.”More than 70 immigrants

from México, CentralAmerica, and the DominicanRepublic were in the trailer,which was abandoned at atruck stop in Victoria, 100miles southwest of Houston,early on May 14.

Seventeen immigrantswere found dead in the trailerand two others died later. Thevictims, including a 5-year-old Mexican boy, sufferedfrom to dehydration, hyper-thermia and suffocation.

Fourteen people were in-

dicted in June on variouscounts of harboring and trans-porting illegal immigrants inwhat’s been called thenation’s deadliest smugglingattempt. Nine of the defen-dants were arrested while theother five remain fugitives.

Seven of those arrested, in-cluding Holloway, were eli-gible for the death penalty ifconvicted in the case.

The six other defendantswill learn by Dec. 1 if prosecu-tors will seek the death pen-alty. The case is to go to trialin June.

La Prensa DirectoryNovember/noviembre 19, 2003

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)You will see financial dealings improving this week. And

it may be best to stick to time-tested realities. Steer clear ofall who cannot be trusted, or seem to be working towards agoal purely for themselves. You enjoy change, variety andadventure.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Think before you speak and make sure you have all your

facts straight. If you are involved in a love affair, it can beespecially intense right now; and may be an excellent timefor a proposal. If uncommitted, it’s time to discuss the futurewith a potential mate.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)This week may not be the best time to settle old griev-

ances or new arguments, or try to make much of an impressionwith anyone. It may be best to adopt a low profile. Avoidhassling with a coworker, for it’s a no-win situation. Thereis high potential for monetary gains.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Now begins a fortunate period for your family and home

interests. It’s time to make a list of changes you’ve beencontemplating, perhaps a sale of real estate. Feelings areintense in the romance department, so sidestep a showdownthat could be memorable.

LEO: (July 24- August 23)Don’t bottle up your feelings; express your anger in a

positive way. Remember to speak clearly to avoid anymisunderstanding. During this year, relatives are bound toplay a bigger role in your life, and pleasantly so. Avoidarguing with family members.

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)Expectations are high and you are apt to run into ob-

stacles wherever you turn. It may be best to lie low, and notmake waves, waiting for a more opportune time. Moneytrends are promising, but not immediate. People you dealwith tend to be overemotional.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Happiness and financial success are surely on their way

to you. Someone may be trying to involve you in a financialdeal that just does not feel right for you—hold your ground.There is delightful rapport with a mate, lover or close friend.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)A new romance may be waiting in the wings for you. It

might not be a new person, but somebody you already know,and hadn’t realized the possibilities before. You will makegreat progress in self-knowledge and spiritual growth in thecoming year.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)It’s an excellent time for beginning a domestic project or

closing a real estate deal. Most of the week will find you inan upbeat mood, possibly planning a get together withfriends. Don’t let minor money problems dampen yourspirit—things will work out.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)There seems to be questions from all sides regarding your

career and business interests. But after this week, theseproblems will clear up for many months. Meanwhile, it maybe best to postpone important decisions. There may betension on the home front.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Your physical energy is at a low point this week. In the

next few weeks, you are bound to make major decisionsregarding your personal life, so think about your moves andplan accordingly. It looks like time to cultivate a whole newcircle of friends.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)This week will basically be another struggle for survival,

primarily on the job, but also in other people’s conflicts. Itwill be tense for a while, and it would be best for you to treadvery lightly on others’ sensitivities. Keep business facts toyourself for now.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Look towardsthe goal you’ve established for yourself in your career. Tryto sidestep any minor difficulties and see the whole picture.Pay attention to your mental and physical vitality, and stayaway from situations that will end in overspending, overdo-ing or overindulging.

Last week at Club International are: Stephanie Crichley, singer and student ofPASMT; Carla Soto, reporter of La Prensa and DJ of LatinoMix 1230AM, Toledo;and Batman and Paquita from La Explosiva 1440AM, Detroit.

Guadalajara vence 1-0 al Atlas y sigue con vida

joven. Toledo nunca ha tenidoun grupo de ritmos tropicales.Aun así, existe la fanaticada ysigue creciendo así como lacomunidad latina en el area.

En 1999, el año del “BoomLatino” en la culturanorteamericana, Toledo vio surgirun interes por la salsa y el meren-gue, la cual el conocido TonyRios respondio abriendo elentonces popular club nocturnoTonic en el centro de Toledo.

Desde entonces varios salonesde bailes han abierto sus puertasofreciendo los generos musicalesde salsa, merengue y bachata enuna región predominatementetejana/mexicana.

Luis Reyes, tecladista,comenzo el grupo a mediados deeste año.

“Aquí hay el talento, solo quenadie se arriesga”, me comentaReyes, quien me confienza quetenía una gran necesidad deexpresarse musicalmente.Originario de Valencia, Venezu-ela, Reyes tomo estudios de pi-ano y música latina. Estudiantede ultimo año de negocios en laUniversidad de Toledo,

Reyes se dio la tarea deencontrar musicos y cantantes enel area para formar el grupo. Pocoa poco y despues de muchasllamadas y busquedas, encontroa un grupo de talentosos einteresados jovenes para proveeral area música tropical en vivo.

Su amigo y compatriotaCristian Ferrer es bajista y coristadel grupo. En su natal Caracas,Venezuela, crecío escuchandosalsa, merengue y cumbia y tocabaska, rock en español y reggue convarios grupos.

“Siempre he amado la música”,dice Ferrer, un guitarrista porestudio.

En 1995 vino a Toledo comoestudiante de intercambio. Segraduo de la Universidad de To-ledo con un bachillerato eningenieria eléctrica ypresentemente continua en launiversidad para obtener sumaestría.

¿”Por que te uniste al grupo”?le pregunte.

“Pense que era una granoportunidad para tocar otro tipo

de música. ¡Ademas, me sonodivertido”!

Pero no todos losintegrantes del grupo estabanfamiliarizados con estosritmos. Parte del grupo es dedescendencia mexicana y porsu interes de expander suconocimiento en la música esque han embarcado en estecamino de aprendizaje.

Entre las cantantes, seencuentra Natasha Salazar,de descendencia mexicana yconocida localmente por susinterpretaciones de cumbia ypop. Por año y medio dejo decantar, dedicandose a su hijo,Romeo, de 3 años y a susestudios. Estudiante detecnologia automotriz en elOwens Community College,Salazar nunca había cantadoritmos tropicales.

Ella ha demostrado suabilidad vocal dominandoahora ritmos como el meren-gue pero continua con losritmos que la dieron a conocercomo la cumbia.

Con su interpretación de“Historia de Amor”, un clasicomerengue de la New YorkBand, ella vuelve a demostrarsu talento con una nueva faceta.

“Queria vovler a cantar ypense que sería divertidounirme al grupo”, dice Salazar.

También cantando estaRosalinda “Lila” Angel, unagran interprete de músicaranchera. De descendenciamexicana y criada en Toledoy Degollado, Jalisco, estajoven tampoco había cantadosalsa ni merengue.

Estilista en el salon debelleza Soto’s y maestra de suarte de parte de BumbleBumble, una famosa linea deproductos para el cabello deNueva York, admite que nuncahabía cantado publicamente,a menos que fuera entre amigosy familiares.

“Yo no tengo antecedentesmusicales ni cantoprofesionalmente,” me diceAngel sonrientemente.

Angel afirma esto por elpercusionista del grupo. JesusDelgado, originalmente de De-fiance, Ohio y de descendenciamexicana, es estudiante depercusion en la Unversidad de

Salsa y merengue en vivo porOasis Tropical(Continued from Page 1)

Toledo. Ya en su ultimo año dela universidad, este joven deapenas 24 años, demuestra unagran abilidad con los timbales ytambores, instrumentos que tocaen Oasis Tropical, aun que enrealidad no conocia mucho losgeneros tropicales.

“Nunca había tocado los tim-bales. Así es que hize misinvestigaciones para saber comotocarlos,” me dice Delgado eninglés pues no habla español yaun que al tocar parece que yaestaba familiarizado con la salsay el merengue.

Lydia Alejandro, coordinator for the 2nd Statewide Ohio Latino/Hispanic HealthDispairites Conference, scheduled for November 21, being interviewed by VJ Tony Riosfor the Voces Latinas television show, standing in front of the offices of La Prensa.

Various members of Toledo City Council in support of the First Amendment right offreedom of speech, joining Councilmen Pete Gerkin and Frank Szollosi, who weredenied that right when ejected by Ohio State Troopers last week from the GovernmentCenter in downtown Toledo. The councilmen were subsequently granted the right tohave the news conference in the Government Center the following week.

The 2nd Ohio Latino/Hispanic Health Dispari-ties Conference is beingheld this Friday, Novem-ber 21 at the Radisson Ho-tel and Conference Centerin Worthington, Ohio, from7:30AM to 4:30PM.

According to LydiaAlejandro, the conferencecoordinator, “the theme forthis year’s conference is:‘Strengthening ourhealthcare leadership andnetworking skills.’”

The conference is spon-

Latino health coalition to host disparity conferencesored by the Ohio Latino/Hispanic Health Coalition,a network of Latino healthprofessionals and advocates.

The coalition was formedin 1999 by three Latinas—Mary Isa Garayua of Young-stown, Alejandro of Toledo,and Crystell Llado ofLorain—all of whom wantedto address the health dispar-ity issues affecting Latinos.

The morning session willinclude a panel presentationby panelists Andres Gonzáles,executive director of Hispanic

UMADAOP; Ivan Rosa, clinicaldirector of CASA ALMA in Cleve-land; Dorothy López, clinicaltherapist at Harbor BehavioralHealthcare in Toledo; GuillermoChacon, executive director of theLatino Commission on AIDS inNew York; Dr. Nick Espinoza ofthe Oakmont Medical Center inPerrysburg, Ohio; and Dr. LuisVillaplana of Youngstown.

The afternoon workshopsinclude:

1) “Barriers to AccessingHealthcare Services,” presentedby attorney Patricia Hernández

of Legal Services of North-west Ohio, located in Fremont,and Isabel Framer, state certi-fied interpreter in Oregon andTennessee;

2) “Strenthening Leader-ship and Networking Skills,”presented by Dr. Gilda I.Mateo of Forum Health, lo-cated in Youngstown, andSonia Troche, communityofficer for the Puerto RicoFederal Affairs Administra-tion; and

3) “Improving Media—In-crease Public Awareness on

Health Disparity in the LatinoCommunity,” presented by di-rector Robert Torres of Toledo’sOffice of Latino Affairs.

Alejandro informed LaPrensa, “the National Coun-cil of La Raza has publishedapolicy/briefing this year anda section of this book wasdevoted to health care issues.

“NCLR found that ‘theLatino population currentlyfaces a number of significanthealth challenges and dispari-ties, including disproportion-ately high rates of diabetes,asthma, HIV/AIDS, tubercu-

losis, and heart disease. Manyof the health concerns thatplague the Latino communitycould be prevented or moreeffectively managed given ac-cess to quality health care.’”According to Alejandro,“There is no registration feefor this conference and lunchis provided. There will also bea Networking reception onThursday, November 20 at7:00PM at the Radisson.”
