Myra Rosario is trying tobuild a media brand for Latinosacross Northeast Ohio.
As the Latino populationcontinues to grow in GreaterCleveland, the executive pro-ducer and TV host is hopingto expand not only the lengthof "Yo Soy Latino Cleve-land” (‘I am Latino Cleve-land’), she hopes to helpLatino organizations reachthe greater community.
The weekly program airson Fridays at 12:30 p.m. onWKYC-TV 3. The show justcelebrated its one-year anni-versary, starting out as a 15-minute program, then ex-panding to 30 minutes. It firstaired among Saturday morn-ing cartoons.
“The show highlights theHispanic culture in North-east Ohio. It highlights, pro-motes, and educates Hispan-ics regarding health, educa-tion, types of events that aregoing on. It also spotlightsLatino-owned businesses,”she explained.
The TV show recently re-ceived a better time slot be-cause of its popularity with ageneral audience, placed rightafter the noon news. Ms.Rosario credits the relation-ship she's “been able to culti-vate” with “an authentic part-ner” in supporting the His-panic community.
“The show is very muchfor the non-Hispanic audi-ence, as much as it is for His-panics. What we've found isthe show breaks down stereo-types and educates the non-Hispanic audience as to the21 different Latin cultures-Colombian, Peruvian, Mexi-can, and Puerto Rican-andwhat they love about the Latinlifestyle, which is the food,the culture, the dance, themusic," she said. “The showreally bridges the gap be-tween Hispanics and non-Hispanics and I think we'vedone a really great job doingthat.”
Ms. Rosario called herEnglish-language, news-talk
p rog ram“the firstshow of itskind on an e t w o r kstation inthe coun-try,” ex-p l a in ingmost localHispanic-o r i en t edshows endup on cableT V ,Telemundo,o rUnivision.There issome on-l o c a t i o nvideotaping involved.
“There's been a very posi-tive response from Hispanicsand non-Hispanics. For Hispan-ics, it's created and painted thecommunity in such a positivelight,” she said. “Non-Hispanicbusinesses are doing businesswith the Hispanic businesseswe highlight-whether it's the res-
taurant, the tree-cutting ser-vice. What I do is spotlight,for example, how a Latinojewelry store is different froman American jewelry store-how the gold is different, howthey customize a jewelrypiece that they get from PuertoRico or wherever.”

WASHINGTON, DC, 11XI 15 (AP): Como pruebade que él puede deportar enforma exitosa y humana alas aproximadamente 11millones de personas queviven en Estados Unidos demanera ilegal, elprecandidato presidencialrepublicano Donald Trumpsuele referirse a un plan dedeportación implementadodurante el gobierno deEisenhower en la década de1950.
Volvió a hacerlo en eldebate republicano de estasemana, al afirmar que “unono se vuelve más amable, nimás amistoso” de lo que erael presidente Dwight D.Eisenhower. “Sacaron a 1,5millones de personas” delpaís, afirmó el magnate delos bienes raíces. “Notenemos opción. Notenemos opción”.
Sin embargo, elprograma mencionado porel aspirante a la candidaturarepublicana, conocidocomo “Operación EspaldasMojadas”, fue unainiciativa complicada queen gran medida esconsiderada por loshistoriadores como uncapítulo oscuro en lahistoria de Estados Unidos.Otro factor que Trump nomenciona es que dichaoperación fue aplicada almismo tiempo que unprograma paralelo detrabajadores temporales enque se concedió estatus le-gal a cientos de miles demexicanos, en su mayoríatrabajadores del campo.
“Sólo está al tanto departe de la historia”, dijoMae Ngai, profesora dehistoria en la UniversidadColumbia.
La operación llevaba elnombre de un calificativoaplicado a los mexicanosque cruzaban el río Bravo yque ahora se considera uninsulto racista. La iniciativade 1954 estaba enfocada encapturar y deportar ajornaleros agrícolas quehabían cruzado la fronterasin permiso en busca detrabajo.
De acuerdo con uncompendio del proyectoelaborado por laAsociación Histórica delEstado de Texas, la PatrullaFronteriza de EstadosUnidos “apoyada por
9 XI 15: Pasada la aburrida,pero aparentemente popular entérminos de audiencia,intervención del precandidatorepublicano Donald Trump en elprograma Saturday Night Live dela cadena NBC, la atención pasaal próximo debate republicanoeste martes, el penúltimo del2015, en Milwaukee, Wisconsin,auspiciado por Fox Business.Mientras tanto, siguendefiniéndose con más claridadquiénes son losobjetivos centrales de los ataquesinternos en la lucha por lanominación presidencialrepublicana.
Trump acaparó la atención,pero es el senador republicano dela Florida, Marco Rubio, quien hasido atacado por todos los flancosde parte de republicanos ydemócratas.
Y no sólo por sus prácticasfinancieras, como el uso de tarjetasde crédito del PartidoRepublicano de Florida paragastos personales que él asegurapagó con su dinero.
Su camaleónicapostura migratoria es motivo deataques desde la punterademócrata, Hillary Clinton, hastasus copartidarios, como el propioTrump, y por la baseultraconservadora pococonvencida de la mano duramigratoria que el joven senadorahora esboza. Hasta sumentor político, el ex gobernadorde la Florida y tambiénprecandidato republicano, JebBush, atacó a Rubio en el pasadodebate por su récord deinasistencia al Senado, un trabajoque Rubio no parece tener enmucha estima.
La razón es obvia. El último ymaltrecho debate republicanoauspiciado por CNBCaparentemente favoreció a Rubioen las encuestas, entre losdonantes, y se han sumado a su
autoridades municipales, delcondado, estatales y federales,así como por las fuerzas arma-das, inició una operación casimilitar para buscar y detener atodos los inmigrantes noautorizados”.
El proyecto, dijo Ngai,comenzó con 750 agentes deinmigración y agentesfronterizos, que utilizaronjeeps, camiones, autobuses yaeroplanos para aprehender ainmigrantes en todo el país,incluidas las ciudades de LosÁngeles, San Francisco y Chi-cago. Detuvieron a 3.000 per-sonas diarias y 170.000 en losprimeros tres meses.
En una entrevista elmiércoles por la mañana en elprograma “Morning Joe” deMSNBC, Trump indicó queaplicaría un enfoque similar.
“Vas a tener una fuerza dedeportación, y vas a hacerlohumanamente”, afirmó.
Los críticos del programadicen que las condiciones queenfrentaron las personasaprehendidas no fueron paranada humanas. Muchos de losinmigrantes detenidos fuerontransportados en autobusesatestados y colocados al otrolado de la frontera en una formaque algunas personas de laépoca equipararon con el tratoque se le da al ganado.
En un incidente, dijo Ngai,88 mexicanos aprehendidosfallecieron de insolación trasverse sujetos a un calor de 44grados Celsius (112 Fahren-heit). La cifra podría haber sidomás elevada si no es porque laCruz Roja intervino.
Con el fin de impedir quereingresaran a Estados Unidos,algunos de los detenidosfueron enviados hacia zonascéntricas de México en tren oen buques de carga, cuyascondiciones atrajeron laatención de los reguladoresfederales.
En una investigación delCongreso se comparó unbuque de transporte en el queocurrió un motín con un“navío de esclavos del sigloXVIII” y un “barco penal delinfierno”.
Trump promovió elenfoque como una virtud delprograma de la era deEisenhower en el debate delmartes por la noche.
“Sacó a 1,5 millones deinmigrantes ilegales del país,justo al otro lado de la frontera.Regresaron. Los volvió a sacarun poco más allá de la frontera,
y regresaron. No les gustó”,dijo Trump. “Los sacó muyhacia el sur. Nuncaregresaron”.
Cuando habla de laestrategia adoptada en elgobierno de Eisenhower,Trump tampoco mencionael hecho de que el programafue desarrollado comocomplemento a otro detrabajadores temporalesque comenzó en la décadade 1940 y cuyo objetivoera permitir que jornalerosagrícolas mexicanosingresaran al país ylaboraran en EstadosUnidos legalmente.
Cientos de miles deagricultores participaron, yel esfuerzo de deportaciónfue concebido como unaforma de presionar a losempleadores a queutilizaran trabajadores dedicho programa.
“Fue como usar unazanahoria y un garrote”,señaló la profesora dehistoria.
Aunque Trump ha dichoque el número dedeportados fue de 1,5millones, la mayoría de lasversiones insinúan que lascifras fueron muchomenores, porque incluíana los que eligieron dejar elpaís en forma voluntaria,así como a la gente queregresó tras ser deportada yfue expulsada de nuevo.
Trump aún no explicaclaramente cómo rastrearíaa las personas que viven enel país sin autorización, ocómo determinaría cuálesson “los buenos” a los queles permitiría regresar.Tanto John Kasich,gobernador de Ohio, comoJeb Bush, exgobernador deFlorida, rechazaron el plandel magnate el martes porla noche al considerarlocruel y fuera de la realidad.
“Enviarlos de regreso,500.000 al mes, essimplemente imposible”,afirmó Bush. “Y no va deacuerdo con los valoresestadounidenses. Ydesbarataría comunidades.Y enviaría una señal de queno somos el tipo de paísque yo sé que EstadosUnidos es”.

campaña veteranas figuras deprevias campañas presidenciales.
Pero para Rubio eltema migratorio es uno de sustalones de Aquiles.
El senador integró el llamadoGrupo de los Ocho que negocióun plan bipartidista de reformamigratoria amplia con una larga ysinuosa vía a la ciudadanía. Elplan se aprobó en el Senado en el2013 y luego murió lentamente enla Cámara Baja de mayoríarepublicana porque un liderazgointimidado por el bandoantiinmigrante ni debatió nienmendó ese proyecto, el S. 744,ni presentó su propia versión.
Rubio enfrentó críticas por suapoyo al S. 744 y dio un viraje enfavor de lo que llama una reformamigratoria por etapas donde unaeventual legalización deindocumentados vendría sólodespués de que se “controle” lafrontera y de que se implemente unsistema de inmigracióndocumentada, con base en méritos y no necesariamente en lazosfamiliares. Ya su familia llegó haceaños procedente de Cubaprecisamente por vínculosfamiliares, así que la reunificaciónfamiliar de los demás no importa.Tampoco queda claro quién ycómo se determinará que la fronteraestá “controlada”, aunque loscruces no autorizados estén a susniveles más bajos.
Y esta pasada semana Rubio,quien ha ofrecido respuestasmigratorias de acuerdo a laaudiencia ante la cual se presente,dio otro viraje a la derecha en eltema de la Acción Diferida paraQuienes Llegaron en la Infancia(DACA) que ha amparado de ladeportación y concedido permisosde trabajo a más de un millón dejóvenes indocumentados,afirmando que el programa, giradomediante orden ejecutiva por elpresidente Barack Obama en juniode 2012, debe terminar aunque no
se haya implementado unareforma migratoria por la víalegislativa. Lo cual contradice loque Rubio había dichopreviamente de que DACA teníaque terminar, pero que debíahacerse cuando se implementarauna reforma migratoria.
En la lucha por ser el más rudoen inmigración, a Rubio no leimporta dejar expuestos a ladeportación a los jóvenesindocumentados que con supermiso de trabajo aportan anuestra economía y ayudan susfamilias.
Rubio quiere competir conTrump y su plan de deportar a 11millones de indocumentados ytraer de forma expedita “a losbuenos”; quiere distanciarse desu mentor Bush, quien aboga poruna vía a la legalización, perotambién ha flaqueado ante laembestida Trumpista; y quiereconvencer a la baseantiinmigrante que lo acusa deapoyar amnistías.
Y en el proceso quiere apelara los votantes hispanos y a loslíderes latinos republicanos,muchos alineados con Bush, quehan dejado en claro en los pasadosdías que no tolerarán posturas encontra de la comunidad latina.
El último debate republicanode este año, el 15 de diciembre,será en Nevada, un estado claveen la elección general donde casi30% de la población es latina ydonde el demócrata BarackObama arrasó con el voto latinoen 2008 y 2012.
A ver qué color asumeel camaleón migratorio Rubio asu paso por Nevada.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica,14 XI 15 (AP): El gobiernode Costa Rica está a la esperade que Nicaragua y Panamárespondan a sus llamadospara atender en conjunto alos migrantes cubanos querecorren Centroamérica conel objetivo de llegar aEstados Unidos.
Así lo afirmó el sábado elministro de RelacionesExteriores costarricense,Manuel González, quienaseguró estar a la espera de lareacción de sus paísesvecinos, los cuales hancerrado el paso a los casi 2.000cubanos que llegaron aterritorio costarricense estasemana.
“Hemos iniciadogestiones diplomáticas concada uno de ellos para buscaruna solución permanente,estable y que la situación seadebidamente atendida. Estegrupo de personas han idopasando de país a país, y sonpocos con la visiónhumanitaria que ha tenidoCosta Rica”, comentóGonzález.
El gobierno costarricenserecibió en su frontera conPanamá a 1.700 migrantescubanos sin visa, quepretendían pasar por elterritorio de Costa Rica comoparte de una ruta que iniciaen Ecuador y en la que setiene como fin arribar aterritorio estadounidense.
Las autoridadescostarricenses decidieron
terminar con la práctica dedar una citación a losmigrantes sin visa para quegestionaran su deportaciónhacia Nicaragua, lo que lespermitía continuar sucamino.
Costa Rica logró deportara Nicaragua a 82 cubanos,pero al enviar a otros 120 alpaís vecino del norte éstecerró sus fronteras, lo quedejó a estos migrantesnuevamente atrapados enterritorio costarricense. Lamisma situación se presentóen la frontera con Panamá.
El Consejo Nacional deMigración decidió el viernesextender a los cubanos unavisa extraordinaria detránsito con vigencia porsiete días, mientras elgobierno de Costa Ricanegocia con sus vecinos elatender a estas personas demanera conjunta.
La directora general deMigración, KattiaRodriguez, dijo a The Asso-ciated Press que este fin desemana esperan terminar conel otorgamiento de las visas,
de las cuales hasta elmomento se han entregado700. Estas incluyen a los 70cubanos que se encontrabanel viernes en la sede centralde Migración en San José.
Con relación a la políticaque asumirá Costa Rica antela llegada de más migrantes,Rodríguez respondió que elpaís analizará cada caso ensu momento, por lo que noestá claro si otorgará más visasde tránsito o volverá a abrirtrámites de deportación.
En lo que va del año,Costa Rica reporta que13.000 cubanos han pasadopor su territorio en su rutahacia Estados Unidos.
Los migrantes hanjustificado su viaje en laincertidumbre sobre lo quepase con el restablecimientode relaciones diplomáticasentre Cuba y Estados Unidos,particularmente con la Leyde Ajuste Cubano, queotorga a los cubanos laoportunidad de solicitar laresidencia estadounidensepermanente un año despuésde entrar a ese país.

New York, NY, Novem-ber 16, 2015: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL)today said it was deeplydisappointed that in thewake of the terrorist attacksin France, a number of gov-ernors have announced that their states will refuserelocation of Syrian refu-gees. ADL urged other gov-ernors to keep their doorsopen during this humani-tarian crisis.
Jonathan A. Greenblatt,ADL CEO, issued the fol-lowing statement:
• This country must notgive into fear or bias byturning its back on ournation’s fundamental com-mitment to refugee protec-tion and human rights. Now
is precisely the time to standup for our core values, in-cluding that we are a proudnation of immigrants. To dootherwise signals to the ter-rorists that they are winningthe battle against democracyand freedom.
• The current refugee cri-sis in Europe is the worstsince World War II. The Jew-ish community is particu-larly affected by the imagesof men, women and childrenforced to flee their homesonly to find they are un-wanted anyplace else. Manyof these refugees are fleeingthe same terrorists who per-petrated the horrendous at-tacks on Paris.
• We therefore urge thegovernors who have an-
nounced their closed doorpolicies to look at the cur-rent multi-layered securityscreening already in placebefore reaching for new re-strictions to ensure that ad-ditional measures will ac-tually be effective.
In response to the grow-ing humanitarian crisis re-sulting from Syria’s civilwar in 2013, ADL joinedwith a number of other Jew-ish organizations to formthe Jewish Coalition forSyrian Refugees in Jordan.
Through legislative ad-vocacy, litigation and pub-lic awareness campaigns,the League has promotedfair and humane immigra-tion policies since itsfounding in 1913.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 9,2015: A new report by theACLU of Ohio exposes howpay-to-stay jail fees trap low-income people in cycles ofdebt and incarceration.
The report includes thefirst-ever analysis of all pay-to-stay jail fees in full-servicejails across the state, and pro-files the individuals whoselives have been ruined by largedebts from their incarceration.
“Pay-to-stay jail fees arethe next generation of unend-ing debts that seek to tetherlow-income people to the crimi-nal justice system,” said se-nior policy director MikeBrickner. “By loading for-merly incarcerated people withincreasing amounts of debt,these fees make it nearly im-possible for them to success-fully re-enter society. Thisstarts the cycle of poverty andcriminalization all over again,trapping people in the crimi-nal justice system.”

Doda apareció topless porprimera vez en el Condor Cluben 1964, lo cual rápidamentecambió el panorama de la vidanocturna de Broadway en SanFrancisco.

1968, en el que aparecía elgrupo los Monkees, ademásde ser mencionada en el libro“The Pump House Gang” deTom Wolfe.
“Cuando los (beatniks) leestaban pasando la antorcha alos hippies, una chica denombre Carol Doda cambió elmundo desde un tubo en unaesquina de Columbus Avenuey Broadway”, dijo su amigoLee Housekeeper.
Doda, conocida por susgrandes senos, aparecía en elescenario encima de un pianoen la plataforma de unelevador. Debutó el mismo díaen que el presidente LyndonB. Johnson atrajo una multitudde medio millón de personasdurante una visita a San Fran-cisco.
No pasó demasiado tiempoantes de que “La chica delpiano” fuera la gran novedaden la ciudad. Doda se convirtióen una leyenda y el CondorClub tenía un letrero luminosocon su silueta.
Dejó el centro nocturno en1985 y más tarde adquirió una
tienda de lencería, se integróa un grupo de rock, incursionóen el modelaje y la comedia,y también cantó y bailó enotro club.
Su viejo amigo Dick Winnle dijo al periódico San Fran-cisco Chronicle que Doda erauna “personamaravillosamente cariñosa”,sabía escuchar y siempreestaba dispuesta a dar unconsejo.
“Era mucho más que sólouna bailarina”, dijo Winn.
“Para mí y mis amigos,Carol siempre será una delgrupo”, añadió Housekeeper.
Doda creció en San Fran-cisco y abandonó la escuelaen octavo grado. Trabajócomo mesera de cocteles alos 14 años y despuéscomenzó a bailar en el Con-dor.
Nunca se casó ni tuvohijos.
“De alguna manera, elimpacto de Carol en la historiade esa época fue tan grandecomo el de Lenny Bruce”,aseguró Housekeeper.
incarceration, either through abooking fee, a daily fee, or both.The worst offender, Correc-tions Center of Northwest Ohioin Williams County chargesboth, which can total$11,996.20 for a 180-day sen-tence.
The justification for charg-ing these fees is that countiesmight recoup some of the costof incarceration, but this rarelyhappens, as the majority ofthose in jail are already indi-gent.
“While Ohio law states thatindividuals are not supposedto pay more in jail fees thanthey are able, we found that fewfacilities actively take indi-gence into consideration,”Brickner said. “Many of thesesame low-income people arethen turned over to collectionsagencies who hound them topay and ruin their credit, sink-ing them even deeper into debtwithout much hope of escape.”
The report calls for countiesto stop charging pay-to-stayfees entirely, as they are inef-
fective and counterproduc-tive. Short of ending thepolicies, the ACLU recom-mended that facilitiesshould assess for indigence,and allow programming andcommunity service in lieuof fees. Counties can alsowork to decrease local jailpopulations through pretrialrelease and use of ticketinginstead of arrest.
“Many in Ohio are turn-ing away from outdated anddangerous “tough on crime”policies that punish peopleto the detriment of our com-munities. Leaders are in-creasingly seeking new waysto reduce mass incarcera-tion and support policiesthat will promote redemp-tion and rehabilitation. End-ing pay-to-stay jail fees willgo a long way in doing that,”Brickner said.

LOS ANGELES, 10 XI 15(AP): “Spectre’’, la 24apelícula de James Bond en 53años, recién se estrenó con lasegunda mejor recaudaciónen Estados Unidos para estaserie de películas. Pero desdehace meses, los seguidores dela saga se han preguntadoquién será el próximo 007pues Daniel Craig está al fi-nal de su participacióndespués de cuatro filmes.
Una de las posibilidadesmás populares ha sido el ac-tor británico de raza negra.Idris Elba, pero el creador deBond, Anthony Horowitz,hizo que la expectativa y ladiversión terminaran enpelea cuando comentó que elactor era “demasiadocallejero” para serconsiderado el agente 007.
Aunque Horowitz sedisculpó rápidamente,muchos admiradoresrecurrieron a las redes socialespara expresar su opinión y notodos los apoyaron a Elba.Para algunos, eso significabaque James Bond debía seguirsiendo blanco.
La controversia conHorowitz todavía reverbera,pues se trata de otrorecordatorio de las actitudesque han prevalecido en lasfranquicias del cine: que lospersonajes ficticios que hansido interpretados por blancosdeben seguir siendo blancos,aún si se reemplazan a susactores o los textos que
interpretan son adaptados.“Creo que esto es un
incidente que, en mi parecer,refleja lo que está mal en laindustria, la situación en laque se encuentra la indus-tria y el trabajo que necesitahacerse” para mejorarla, dijoDarnell Hunt, coautor delReporte Sobre Diversidad deHollywood 2015 y directordel Centro de EstudiosAfroestadounidenses RalphJ. Bunche de la Universidadde California en LosÁngeles, UCLA.
En una industria dondelas minorías raciales todavíano están suficientementerepresentadas en la pantalla,a pesar de constituir el 40%de la poblaciónestadounidense y 51% delpúblico frecuente en loscines, la resistencia a unelenco diverso pareceequivocada.
“Esto es lo que tengo quedecir: Cleopatra no se veíacomo Elizabeth Taylor. Finde la discusión”, dijo el di-rector Spike Lee, cuando lepreguntaron sobre el asunto.
No es la primera vez quelos admiradores han apeladoa la tradición de las películaspara acabar con los esfuerzospor diversificar los elencos,ya sean estos reales o deconjeturas.
Cuando elafrodescendiente MichaelB. Jordan fue elegido comoJohnny Storm en la película
“Fantastic Four”, estrenadaeste verano, la reacción fuetan negativa que Jordanescribió un ensayo para larevista EntertainmentWeekly sobre “terminar ladivisión racial”.
“Quizá, si yo pongo elejemplo, Hollywoodcomenzará a considerar másgente de color para papelesimportantes y quizápodemos llegar a gente queestá encasillada con la ideade que (la película) ‘tieneque ser fiel al cómic”’,escribió.
Lo mismo ocurrió con laa f r o d e s c e n d i e n t eQuvenzhané Wallis cuandola seleccionaron para “Anitala huerfanita”. E incluso huboquien criticó a “Los Juegosdel Hambre” por seleccionara la actriz Amanda Stenbergcomo Rue, aunque el libro ladescribe con la piel oscura.
En el lodoso terreno delas críticas en internet, enmuchos casos el racismo esmuy real. En otras ocasioneslas reacciones son el únicomotivo por el queescuchamos sobre estasituación.
Un reporte en internet dela publicación Mashabledescubrió que la ola demensajes con el hashtag(hash)BoycottStarWarsVII—supuestamente en contra dela elección de John Boyegapara representar aStormtrooper—no fue un
movimiento real: el sólo 6%eran mensajes de losllamados trolls (o personasque se dedican a criticardestructivamente en la red)y 94% era la respuesta encontra de los trolls. Al finalel hashtag se volviótendencia nacional enEstados Unidos.
En cuanto al elenco deBond, los productores Bar-bara Broccoli y Michael G.Wilson dijeron que el 007de Craig seguirá hasta el fi-nal y no permitieron que semencionara a Elba—o anadie más.
Conocen la pasión por el007, la cual se amplifica conel internet. Cuandoeligieron a Craig, con sucabello rubio y sus ojosazules, también generóquejas en su momento.
“Los fans y el públicotoman a Bond de maneramuy personal, al igual quenosotros”, dijo Broccoli.“Hay mucho debate y esonos parece maravilloso”.
Pero reconocen quenecesitan más diversidad enlas películas de Bond y, engeneral, en todas laspelículas.
“Esto debería ser un temade importancia”, dijo Broc-coli. “Definitivamente loapoyamos... es muyimportante tener diversidady debemos impulsarlo ennuestras películas y en otrascintas”.
Con “Skyfall” llegó laactriz de raza negra NaomieHarris en el papel deMoneypenny.
Umberto González, editoren jefe del sitio de internetHero icHol lywood.com,suele revisar lasnegociaciones sobre elencosy decisiones en la industriapor este tema y señala que laelección de Samuel L. Jack-son como Nick Fury en laspelículas de Marvel es unejemplo perfecto de lo rápidoque una elección así sepuede volver no sóloaceptada, sino muy querida.
“Los grandes personajestrascienden la raza en miopinión”, dijo González.
Agregó que, a veces, sonpersonas que trabajan en laindustria quienes comienzanlos rumores sobre los elencospoco convencionales, tansólo para ver cuál será lareacción de los admiradores.Al respecto, existe unentusiasmo real para que hayamás diversidad en papelesque históricamente han sidootorgados a blancos.
“Hay una desconexiónentre el conocimientoconvencional de Hollywoody lo que quiere la audiencia.Estados Unidos es un lugarmuy diverso y se vuelve másdiverso cada día”, dijo Hunt.“Queremos sentir que estánincluidos en el discurso, noes que sólo se quieran ver aellos, pero quieren ver una

imagen de Estados Unidoscomo se ve”.
Aunque puede que nohaya una correlación directaentre las campañas de internety las decisiones sobreelencos, Hunt dijo que estono es negativo.
“Cada que la gente lepuede demostrar al poder enla industria que losadmiradores piden másdiversidad y unaparticipación más diversa enla industria es algo bueno.Simplemente les recuerda loque debería ser obvio”, dijoHunt.
En el mundo de los com-ics también hay cambios.Marvel ha cambiadodramáticamente laconfiguración racial de suspersonajes clásicos: elCapitán América es negro,Thor es mujer, el nuevo Spi-der Man, Miles Morales, esnegro y latino, y Hulk prontoserá coreano. Todavía estápor verse si estos cambios sereflejarán en las versiones encine.
En televisión también hayprogreso, en “Supergirl”Jimmy Olsen es intperpretadopor Mechad Brooks.
“Las cosas estánmejorando, pero no losuficientemente rápido”, dijoHunt.

Cuyahoga CommunityCollege (Tri-C) hosted a com-munity outreach and engage-ment luncheon Friday, Oct.30, 2015, with a number ofthe college’s Workforce,Community, and EconomicDevelopment (WCED) pro-gram managers making pre-sentations.
The aim is to link studentsand graduates with potentialemployers in the GreaterCleveland area by introduc-ing the various skilled tradesprograms to employers andcommunity leaders. Thehope is to recruit, train, andemploy more local Hispanicstudents, which already com-prise a large percentage ofTri-C’s population, or at leastlink them with potential His-panic mentors.
“We want to make sureour community is well repre-sented. We want to make surestudents here are supported.We also want to make sure wecontinue to increase our en-rollment in terms of our His-panic community,” saidMagda Gómez (manager, en-rollment communications atTri-C), who emceed the lun-cheon at Bistro 87, which ispart of the school’s hospital-ity management program.
Even the luncheon itselfwas a chance to showcase theschool’s culinary, catering,and hospitality classes, as themenu was prepared and servedby students. The menu in-cluded bistro salad with bal-samic vinaigrette and season-able vegetables, crispychicken confit, demi-glace,roasted fingerling potatoesand glazed carrots, and applecrumble with vanilla icecream; and a gift of granolawas given to those that at-tended.
Each of the hospitalitymanagement division stu-dents introduced themselves,many of whom would soongraduate. “We want you to beable to see the students learn-ing (put) into action,” saidMs. Gómez.
“Every day we get callsfrom employers looking foremployees. There is such ashortage in Northeast Ohioto supply the hospitality in-dustry,” said Karen Monath,director of the hospitalitymanagement program.“Right now we have 500 stu-dents enrolled in the hospi-tality management pro-gram—and if I had 1,000 stu-dents enrolled, I could getthem all jobs.”
Ms. Monath told the groupshe went on a “hard-hat tour”of the new Hilton hotel beingbuilt in downtown Cleveland,which will require 450 newemployees once it opens. Sheexplained not all of those willinvolve interaction withpeople, which makes it a per-fect career for someone whohas English as a second lan-guage. She also talked about
many new restaurants open-ing in The Flats, which arecompeting for the same poolof employees.
“Never since the GreatDepression has the subject ofworkforce development beenon the agendas of most everyindustry, most every organi-zation in the country,” saidWilliam Gary, Tri-C execu-tive vice president, WCED.“Of particular importance, Ithink, is the positioning ofcommunity colleges to ad-dress that particular chal-lenge and issue. Of particularimportance to us is the inclu-sion of people of color, who,up to this point, if not trainedproperly and adequately, willbe left out of the economicmainstream. That’s why thesepartnerships are key.”
Tri-C is Ohio’s oldestcommunity college andgraduated more than 4,300students last year, the high-est number of students inschool history.
“The reason we’re on thisincrease is because of thethings we’ve done on ourcompletion agenda,” said Dr.Alex Johnson, Tri-C presi-dent, who gave the openingremarks. “A lot of our stu-dents have come to us, notonly seeking associate de-grees, but also certificates.Across the college, we haveincreased certificates by over100 percent. That was anamazing number.”
Dr. Johnson told the audi-ence WCED programs saw a400 percent enrollment in-crease in certificate programsalone, which he attributed toserving as “a foundation tothose (students) who wouldlike to move forward with anassociate degree or a bacca-laureate degree.” He statedTri-C’s graduation rate alsoimproved 250 percent from2012 to this year.
He touted certificationsand degrees offered throughWCED as a means for gradu-ates to go into “viable jobs,high-tech, high-wage, fam-ily-sustained wages associ-ated with them.”
Michael White now headsTri-C’s Right Skills Now Pro-gram, which began in March2014. “This came about be-cause local companiesneeded CNC (computerizednumeric controls) operators.The workforce is aging.Trade operators are leaving,retiring—and they need tobring new people in,” Whiteexplained. “They were strug-gling to find the right peopleto replace the retirees. Theycame to us and we workedtogether to develop a train-ing program.”
The eight-week programtrains basic machine opera-tion in the advanced manu-facturing sector. Many adultslook for quick-turnaroundprograms like this one to re-turn to the workforce quickly
so they can support their fami-lies. Tri-C partnered with aSolon-based company thatdoes $2 billion worth of busi-ness each year selling valves,fittings, and tubing to transmitgas and other products. One ofthe most important aspects ofthe program is to teach stu-dents to carefully inspect theproducts to meet exacting tol-erances.
“These are not found inHome Depot. These are high-end products found in nuclearsubmarines, power plants,spacecraft, aircraft—so theircomponents cannot fail,” saidWhite. “They’re responsiblefor the end user’s safety.”
Trainees must maintain per-fect attendance and pass a cer-tification test with a 70 percentscore. They are then paired witha mentor at one of thecompany’s three suburbanCleveland plants. If they com-plete six months on the job, thecompany reimburses 50 per-cent of their out-of-pocket edu-cational expenses for the pro-gram. The other half is reim-bursed after one year on thejob. The company then offerstuition reimbursement so em-ployees can continue theirhigher education.
The internship-to-hire rateright now is 78 percent, farabove the 25 to 30 percenttemp-to-hire rate the companywas experiencing previously.
“They’re ecstatic about it,”bragged White. “After eightweeks, you’re not just in a job.You’re in a career with a chanceto move up in one of NortheastOhio’s top companies.”
James Boone told the crowdabout a fast-track welding“boot camp,” a ten-week pro-gram that takes a student fromno welding experience to threecertifications. The program isan intense experience that in-volves 280 hours of training inthat short span of time. But theprogram also includes train-ing in so-called “soft skills,”which make workers more reli-able on the job—showing upon time, taking assignments,interaction with others.
“That’s what the employeris looking for—something thatyou can bring to the table,” hesaid. “That seems just as im-portant as the technical side ofthe program.”
Once each program is com-plete, 20 local companies in-terview the graduates to behired or for possible intern-ships. The next group will startin January with about a dozenstudents.
Ian Wilson told the groupabout Tri-C’s short-term truckdriving program, which resultsin a student becoming eligiblefor a commercial driver’s li-cense (CDL). However, the pro-gram doesn’t last long enoughto make it eligible for financialaid. However, Ohio Means Jobswill assist to some degree, aswell as the state operating arevolving loan fund to help
students afford the $5,500cost of the program.
Alethea Ganaway ex-plained the communitycollege’s 3D digital designand manufacturing program,which just launched last Janu-ary. A $2.5 million federalDept. of Labor grant fundedthe program, which is the onlyone of its kind in NortheastOhio. The one-year certifi-cate program can then be ap-plied to an engineering tech-nology certification programand eventually an associatedegree in manufacturing in-dustrial technology.
“It’s an emerging technol-ogy, the process of taking athree-dimensional object.You send it to a printer, 3Dprinting, but it’s called addi-tive manufacturing because
you’re adding layers of mate-rial on top of each other,” sheexplained. “Our students canget done usually in two se-mesters, then we offer intern-ship and job placement op-portunities.”
Associate Vice PresidentJaNice Marshall (Access andCommunity Engagement,District Administrative Ser-vices) concluded with manyof the programs that Tri-Coffers via College Pathwaysincluding the Adult DiplomaProgram, followed by a ques-tion-and-answer narrated byMs. Gómez.
Many of the leaders in at-tendance represented majoremployers such as The Cleve-land Clinic, CuyahogaCounty, the City of Cleve-land (represented by Hispanic

WASHINGTON, DC, Nov.5, 2015 (AP): The Obama ad-ministration will ask the Su-preme Court to save thepresident’s plan to shield asmany as 5 million immigrantsliving in the country illegallyfrom deportation, after lowercourts blocked it.
A federal appeals court inNew Orleans on Monday up-held a Texas-based federaljudge’s injunction againstPresident Barack Obama’splan. Obama has issued execu-tive orders to protect from de-portation parents whose chil-dren are citizens or legal per-manent residents, along withother immigrants who came tothe country illegally as chil-dren.
The Justice Departmentsaid Tuesday it disagrees withthe 2-1 ruling by the 5th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals andwould appeal to the high court.
Republicans have criti-cized the plan as illegal execu-tive overreach since Obamaannounced it last November.Twenty-six states challengedthe plan in court.
The administration arguedthat the executive branch waswithin its rights in deciding todefer deportation of selectedgroups of immigrants, includ-ing children who were broughtto the U.S. illegally.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbottpraised the ruling.
“President Obama shouldabandon his lawless executiveamnesty program and startenforcing the law today,”
Abbott said in a news release.“We strongly disagree
with the 5th Circuit’s deci-sion,” the White House saidin a statement. “The SupremeCourt and Congress havemade clear that the federalgovernment can set prioritiesin enforcing our immigrationlaws.”
The ruling further dimsprospects of implementationof the executive action beforeObama leaves office in 2017.Appeals over the injunctioncould take months and, de-pending on how the case un-folds, it could go back to theTexas federal court for moreproceedings.
Justice Departmentspokesman PatrickRodenbush said in a state-ment that the department “re-mains committed to takingsteps that will resolve theimmigration litigation asquickly as possible” so thatthe Department of HomelandSecurity can prioritize “theremoval of the worst offend-ers, not people who have longties to the United States andwho are raising Americanchildren.”
Part of the initiative in-cluded expansion of a pro-gram called Deferred Actionfor Childhood Arrivals, pro-tecting young immigrantsfrom deportation if they werebrought to the U.S. illegallyas children. The other majorpart, Deferred Action for Par-ents of Americans, would ex-tend deportation protections
to parents of U.S. citizens andpermanent residents who havebeen in the country for years.
The 70-page majority opin-ion by Judge Jerry Smith,joined by Jennifer WalkerElrod, rejected administrationarguments that the districtjudge abused his discretionwith a nationwide order andthat the states lacked standingto challenge Obama’s execu-tive orders.
They acknowledged an ar-gument that an adverse rulingwould discourage potentialbeneficiaries of the plan fromcooperating with law enforce-ment authorities or payingtaxes. “But those are burdensthat Congress knowingly cre-ated, and it is not our place tosecond-guess those decisions,”Smith wrote.
In a 53-page dissent, JudgeCarolyn Dineen King said theadministration was within thelaw, casting the decision todefer action on some deporta-tions as “quintessential exer-cises of prosecutorial discre-tion,” and noting that the De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity has limited resources.
“Although there are ap-proximately 11.3 million re-movable ‘aliens’ in this coun-try today, for the last severalyears Congress has providedthe Department of HomelandSecurity with only enough re-sources to remove approxi-mately 400,000 of those aliensper year,” King wrote.

CLEVELAND: (AP):A U.S. Justice Depart-ment (DOJ) report re-leased on December 4,2014 spared no one inthe Cleveland policechain of command amidfindings of excessiveuse of force and civilrights violations.
It was the second timein recent years the DOJhas taken the Clevelandpolice to task over theuse of force. But unlikein 2004 , when theagency left it up to lo-cal police to clean uptheir act, federal au-thor i t i es in te rvenedthis time by way of aconsent decree.
“These are problemslong in the making,”said U.S. Attorney Gen-eral Eric Holder duringa news conference inCleveland on Dec. 4,2014.
Holder said the DOJ’s18-month investigationwas prompted by morethan the November 2012event in which 13 po-lice officers fired 137shots into a car after ahigh-speed chase, kill-ing two unarmed sus-pects. Ohio AttorneyGeneral Mike Dewinehas called the killings
of Timothy Russell andMalissa Wil l iams a“systemic failure” onthe part of the police.
The American CivilL iber t ies Union o fOhio had issued a state-ment following the re-lease of the DOJ con-sent decree with thec i ty o f Cleve land :“This is a step forward,but this is truly onlythe beginning,” saidChristine Link, executivedirector of the ACLU ofOhio. “To change the cul-ture of the police force,which has been engagedin unfair and unjust treat-ment of people of colorfor so long, will not hap-pen overnight. It will takea strong and vibrant part-nership with communitymembers based on respectand trust, as well as theresolve of officials to notallow discrimination andunconst i tu t ional prac-tices fester within theCleveland Police Depart-ment any longer.”
The DOJ’s findings re-quire the city to work withcommunity leaders andother officials to devise aplan, which a judge will haveto approve and an indepen-dent monitor will oversee.Eight other police depart-
ments in the country nowoperate under federal con-sent decrees.
It was from these find-ings and consent decreethat Cleveland MayorFrank Jackson hosted asummit a t CuyahogaCommunity College (Tri-C) on November 14,2015, reaching out tocommunity leaders andorganizations, includinggroups from the barrio.The mayor urged the 100or so present to do theirpart in reforming thecity’s police department,stating: ‘that communityengagement is essentialfor the success of real re-form’.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT LORAIN PUBLICLIBRARY SYSTEM’S MAIN LIBRARY
Lorain: More than 500people attended El Centro’s41st annual gala HavanaNights on Saturday, Nov. 7,2015 where it was announcedthe non-profit organization willevolve into a community devel-opment corporation in the nearfuture, making it eligible forfederal and state governmentgrant funds.
That proved to be the larg-est crowd to ever attend thegala, easily eclipsing a 2014gathering that drew 420 people.The event, which was held atDeLuca’s Place in the Park,6075 Middle Range Rd, Lorain,sold out in late October.
“Thank you for the supportyou give our organization.Thank you for the support yougive to El Centro. We feel thelove,” said Victor Leandry, ElCentro executive director.
Leandry noted a new part-nership with Lorain CitySchools through a programbeing offered by the NationalCouncil of La Raza (NCLR),designed to empower parentsto take advantage of all theservices and courses offeredto Latino students and theirfamilies.
But the most important de-velopment to El Centro’s fu-ture is its board’s decision tomove forward with the effort tobecome Lorain’s only CDC,which will mean big changes tothe structure of the organiza-tion going forward.
“Write it down. Three yearsfrom now we will be celebrat-ing that here,” said DirectorLeandry. “We are taking ourtime because we want to makeit right. We asked the commu-nity and they think we can doit. The community thinks wehave the capability to do it. Weare going to visit other LatinoCDC’s throughout the countryto see what they’re doing andhow they’re doing it.”
El Centro’s [officially, ElCentro de Servicios Sociales,Inc.] executive directorthanked the board of directors
for supporting the decision tomove forward, including boardpresident MargaritaQuiñones, vice president Rob-ert Christmas, secretaryAdrian Bautista, and treasurerVictor Ortiz. Other board mem-bers include: Bobby Jackson,Isabel Pallens, JeffreyBirdwell, Matt Almady, EdwinGarcia, Mildred González,Karen Mahan, Dr. Rosa E.Rivera-Hainaj, MarisolRichards, and Max Schaefer.
The event featured a recep-tion and dinner, followed byan evening of dancing andentertainment provided byPapo Ruiz y la Dulzura de laSalsa and DJ Desmond J.Carter. The celebration alsoincluded completion of a re-cent capital campaign that ledto El Centro’s new headquar-ters at 2800 Pearl Ave., Lorain.
According to staff, the mis-sion of El Centro is ‘to en-hance the socioeconomic sta-tus of the greater Lorain com-munity by providing essen-tial social, educational, cul-tural, and community devel-opment services. The non-profit organization covers five,basic program areas: adultsupportive services, employ-ment/education, money man-agement, youth leadership,and El Dorado seniors.’
El Centro services include:The Adult Supportive Ser-
vices Program (ASSP) case-workers are trained 211 opera-tors who provide Spanishphone support for the UnitedWay’s information and refer-ral service.
ASSP caseworkers also ad-minister a monthly food pan-try program at El Centro’s of-fices and have been trained byNCLR to conduct a nutritioneducation program known asComprando Rico y Sano (Buy-ing Tasty and Healthy), whichis based on the federal FoodPlate model. ASSP casework-ers also provide medical inter-pretation services at doctor and
mental health appointments,deliver a six-week chronic ill-ness management course, andenroll client families and indi-viduals in an array of availableenergy assistance programs.
El Centro also offers ten-ant-based rental assistancethrough the city of Lorain,onsite GED and English as aSecond Language (ESOL)classes through Lorain CountyCommunity College, and willbegin to offer medical officecareer developmentcoursework starting next year.El Centro also offers a com-puter lab to clients and entre-preneurship classes, whichstarted earlier this year. Thereare also onsite counseling ser-vices available through part-ner agencies.
El Centro served more than2,700 individuals and fami-lies last year. 95 percent ofthose clients are consideredlow-to-moderate income. Theadvocacy group became thefirst to serve primarily theLatino community when it wasfounded in 1974. El Centro isa member of the Lorain CountyBoard of Mental Health net-work, United Way, and Na-tional Council of La Raza(NCLR).

WASHINGTON, DC, Nov.12, 2015 (AP): Los senadoresrepublicanos y precandidatosa la presidencia Marco Rubioy Ted Cruz están dando marchaatrás frenéticamente mientrastratan de ganarse la partidauno al otro en torno al tema dela inmigración.
Rubio fue coautor de unenorme proyecto de ley de2013 sobre inmigración quefue aprobado por el Senado.Hoy en día lo rechaza, peroCruz no deja de hablar de ello.
Cruz se opuso al proyecto,pero ofreció enmiendas paraaumentar la inmigración le-gal. Ahora dice que esa no esuna buena idea después detodo, pero Rubio no permitiráque se zafe tan fácil.
Ambos senadores realizanmaniobras para atraer a losvotantes conservadores de laselecciones primarias deprecandidatos presidencialesdel Partido Republicano enuna campaña ensombrecidapor el aspirante DonaldTrump, que desea deportar atodos los 11,5 millones deinmigrantes que radican enEstados Unidos sinautorización legal.
La postura de línea dura deTrump ha empujado a todo elterreno republicano hacia laderecha y podría generarproblemas para el eventualcandidato del partido, queenfrentaría un electorado más
WASHINGTON, DC,Nov. 12, 2015 (AP): Re-publican presidential ri-vals Sens. Marco Rubioand Ted Cruz arebackpedaling furiously asthey try to outmaneuvereach other on immigration.
Rubio co-wrote a mas-sive 2013 immigration billthat passed the Senate. Hedisavows it now, but Cruzwon’t stop talking aboutit.
Cruz opposed the bill,but he offered amend-ments to massively in-crease legal immigration.Now he says that’s not agood idea after all, butRubio won’t let him offthe hook.
Both senators are ma-neuvering to appeal toconservative GOP presi-dential primary voters in acampaign shadowed byDonald Trump, who wantsto deport all 11.5 millionimmigrants in this countryillegally. Trump’s hard-line stance has pushed theentire GOP field to theright and may create prob-lems for the eventual GOPnominee facing a more di-verse general election elec-torate. Former Florida Gov.Jeb Bush pointed to thatpossibility in Tuesdaynight’s GOP debate whenhe said that HillaryRodham Clinton’s Demo-cratic campaign would bedoing high-fives at suchtalk.
On Thursday Cruz did acomplete about-face onone of his long-held immi-gration stances, tellingconservative talk hostLaura Ingraham whenasked whether he wouldincrease the numbers of le-gal immigrants to the U.S.:“I don’t believe that’s agood idea.”
diverso en las eleccionespresidenciales. El exgobernador de Florida JebBush señaló esa posibilidaden el debate entre republicanosdel martes por la noche cuandodijo que la campaña demócratade Hillary Rodham Clintonestaría contenta de que losrepublicanos tengan taldiscurso.
El jueves, Cruz modificóradicalmente su posición conrespecto a una de sus posturassobre inmigración que más hadefendido, al decirle a lapresentadora conservadoraLaura Ingraham cuando éstale preguntó si incrementaría elnúmero de inmigrantes le-gales en Estados Unidos: “Nocreo que esa sea una buenaidea”.
Pero durante el debate en elSenado respecto a lainmigración hace dos años, elsenador por Texas se mostrócomo un abierto defensor delaumento de la inmigraciónlegal, particularmente parainmigrantes altamentecalificados. Consideró a lainmigración legal “un pilar dela herencia y fortaleza denuestra nación” y presentóenmiendas para duplicar eltope de inmigrantes legales ypara aumentar 500% el númerode visas de inmigrantesaltamente calificados.
Cruz también propuso unaenmienda para eliminar la ruta
But during the Senateimmigration debate twoyears ago the Texas senatorwas an outspoken advocatefor increasing legal immigra-tion, particularly for highlyskilled immigrants. He calledlegal immigration “a pillarof our nation’s heritage andstrength” and introducedamendments to double thecap on legal immigration andincrease the number of high-skilled immigrant visas by500 percent.
Cruz also proposed anamendment to eliminate thepath to citizenship in theSenate bill, allowing immi-grants in the country ille-gally to end up with legalstatus short of citizenshipinstead.
Rubio highlighted thosestances in a campaign ap-pearance in South Carolinaon Thursday, saying: “Ted isa supporter of legalizingpeople that are in this coun-try illegally. ... If you look atit, I don’t think our positionsare dramatically different.”
Brian Phillips, Cruz’srapid response director, dis-puted that over Twitter, ar-guing in a series of tweetsthat Cruz was not seeking tosupport legal status for im-migrants in the country with-out documentation, only tooppose citizenship. “For the1000th time, his aim hadnothing to do with legaliza-tion. He intentionally fo-cused on citizenship only ...to illustrate that Demsweren’t serious about pass-ing real reform.”
For his part, Cruz soughtto use his appearance onIngraham’s show to highlightRubio’s role authoring theSenate immigration bill withits divisive path to citizen-ship for many of the immi-grants in this country ille-gally. The legislation passed
the Senate on a bipartisanvote in 2013 but ended updying in the House, andPresident Barack Obamaultimately addressed theissue through executiveactions now tied up incourt.
When asked aboutRubio, Cruz said, “Youknow where someone isbased on their actions, asthe Scripture says, youshall know them by theirfruits,”
Speaking of Rubio andthe other authors of theSenate bill, Cruz also said,“They fought tooth andnail to try to jam this am-nesty down the Americanpeople’s throat over andover and over again.”
Rubio now says that asingle, comprehensive im-migration bill is not theway to go and he wouldnot address the status ofthe people in this countryillegally before securingthe border and remakingthe legal immigration sys-tem. Ultimately he wouldstill allow people here il-legally to qualify for citi-zenship, but only after 15years.
Sen. Rand Paul of Ken-tucky, appearing sepa-rately on Ingraham’sshow, also discussed the2013 Senate immigrationbill. He contended thatRubio had struck a “secretdeal” with another authorof the bill, DemocraticSen. Chuck Schumer ofNew York, to block anyconservative amendmentsto their legislation. In fact,the deal among all eightbipartisan authors of thebill to vote as a group todefeat troublesomeamendments was wellknown at the time and nota secret.
que permita obtener laciudadanía en el proyecto deley en el Senado, lo queconcedería que los inmigrantesque radican en el país sinautorización legal terminencon el estatus legal, en lugarde con la ciudadanía.
Rubio subrayó talesposturas en un acto de campañaen South Carolina el jueves,en el que dijo que “Ted espartidario de la legalizaciónde personas que se encuentranilegalmente en este país... Siuno lo analiza, no creo quenuestras posturas seandrásticamente distintas”.
Brian Phillips, el directorde respuesta rápida de Cruz,rechazó tal comentario a travésde Twitter, argumentando enuna serie de mensajes en lamisma red social que Cruz notrata de respaldar el estatuslegal de los inmigrantes queviven en Estados Unidos demanera irregular, sólo deoponerse a que reciban laciudadanía.
“Por 1000ma vez, suenmienda nada tenía que vercon la legalización.Intencionalmente se enfocóen la ciudadanía sólo... parademostrar que los demócratasno hablaban en serio sobreaprobar de verdad unareforma”.

BURLINGTON, Vt. ,Nov. 12, 2015 (AP): Awhite man who prosecu-tors say distributed KuKlux Klan recruitment fli-ers to two members of thecity’s small minority com-munity is facing criminalcharges.
The fliers didn’t in-clude a call to violence,bu t d i s t r ibu t ing themonly to a black woman anda Latina shows an intentto threaten and thereforedoesn’t fall under free-speech pro tec t ions ,Chittenden County State’sAttorney T.J. Donovansaid Thursday.
William Schenk was ar-rested Thursday on disor-derly conduct charges,prosecutors said. Becausehis conduct was moti-vated by race, the penaltycould be enhanced to morethan four years in prison ifhe is convicted, they said.
Schenk, 21, is expectedto be in court Friday. It wasunknown if he had a law-yer, and no phone numberfor him could be located inBurlington or inWilmington, North Caro-lina, where he used to live.
KKK fliers were discov-ered late last month inBurlington, whose popu-la t ion i s a lmos t 90percent white. People pro-testing racism later heldrallies.
The two women toldpolice they received fli-ers at their homes on thesame street in late Octo-ber, according to an arrest

warrant affidavit.Police said they also
were notified by workersat a local FedEx businesscenter that a KKK flier hadbeen left there in a copymachine. A video obtainedfrom the center depicted aman and was released tolocal media outlets lastweekend, and police saida Plattsburg, New York,woman came forward andsaid she was sure the manwas Schenk because sheused to date him and he isa member of the KKK, asecretive society orga-nized in the South afterthe Civil War to assertwhite supremacy, often us-ing violence.
The af f idavi t s ta tesSchenk told police theKKK has no members inVermont or New Hamp-shire so he traveled to Ver-mont to try to recruit some.
“It was just kind of likea recruitment, you know,”the a f f idav i t quo tesSchenk as saying. “It’snothing to deal with hate.”
Pol ice sa id tha t a l -though Schenk told them
he distributed 40 to 50fliers they could find noother recipients during acanvass of the neighbor-hood.
The writing on the fli-ers included “The clockis ticking, wake up WhiteAmerica” and “Blacks ares ta t i s t i ca l ly 50 t imesmore l ike ly to a t tackwhites than vice versa,”according to depictionsin the arrest warrant affi-davit.
A roommate inBurlington told policethat Schenk, who still hasa North Carolina driver’slicense, had moved inroughly two months ago.
Some of Burlington’s42,000 residents said theywere pleased Schenk hadbeen arrested but addedthey have a long way togo to end bias in the state.
“I’m really happy wewere able to secure this winagainst racism in Ver-mont,” community leaderEbony Nyoni said in a state-ment issued by Rights &Democracy, an organizerof anti-racism efforts.

One other segment dem-onstrated how home-healthnurses who speak Spanish areimportant to overcoming thelanguage barrier and culturalcompetence with an elderly,non-English patient. Shenoted that the ClevelandClinic has more than 120 em-ployees of Latino descent whocan assist in that process. Shehopes the show will growenough to get its own studioand set.
Ms. Rosario is founderand president of the LatinoCleveland Media Group, aHispanic-based marketingconsulting firm. The com-pany co-brands events andentertainment, as well ashosts the popular websiteLatinoCleveland.com, anonline companion resourceto the TV show.
“I take pride in being anauthentic community outlet,so that's my next step in devel-oping LatinoCleveland.com.Our tagline has always been'to be the source for all thingsHispanic in Northeast Ohio,'"she said. "When we don't havetime to do a full story on theshow, we can maybe follow-up on the website, as a direc-tory of anything Latino thatyou need to know.”
Ms. Rosario is trying tostay true to her Latino roots,born and raised in the 25thand Clark area of Cleveland,what she calls the "Latinohub." Her family immigratedfrom Puerto Rico and she de-scribed her parents as "verytraditional Puerto Rican." Thethird-generation Clevelanderhas a 15-year old daughterand twin, three-year old sons.
“We really believe that

engaging ourselves in thecommunity through Latinoevents, whether it's a festivalor tying in to a health fair orwhatever it is, it's importantfor us to be seen and be in theLatin community," she said."We'll always be true to ourmission and that is to givesomething to the Hispanics.They're not used to spon-sored events, things like that-putting together qualityevents like you'd find in thegeneral market.”
Among her more favoriteevents the website has co-sponsored or promoted in-clude Fiesta Latina, held atthe I-X indoor amusementpark. The event generated arecord-breaking weekend ofover 22,000 attendees. Ms.Rosario recently served as amedia partner for a CuyahogaCommunity College lun-cheon held for Hispanic lead-ers to promote the school'sworkforce development di-vision, with the hope of at-tracting more business part-ners and Hispanic enrollment.
Ms. Rosario, 39, beganher professional career 18years ago in radio sales andmarketing. Those skills andexperience led her to focusher career on media buying,marketing, and advertising,and staging local and re-gional events for the His-panic community. Her com-pany now employs severalfull-time workers and free-lancers.
"I really would like to fine-tune what I already have,which is to develop furtherthe website, to build a stron-ger television show and in-corporate other on-air talent,"
she said. "There is a huge ex-pansion into other markets thatis definitely a part of the plan."
Ms Rosario won the Cleve-land Foundation's 2010 CivicInnovation Lab grant and hasreceived funding from Glo-bal Cleveland, a regional de-velopment nonprofit with amission of attracting native-and foreign-born newcomersto the city.
Ms. Rosario has been rec-ognized by Cuarenta/Cuarenta, Kaleidoscope'smagazine which features 40Hispanic leaders age 45 andunder who are making signifi-cant contributions in theGreater Cleveland area. Shewas also featured last year onthe cover of Cleveland Busi-ness Connect magazine.
“I never want to forgetwhere I come from. I alwayswant to make sure I'm provid-ing or servicing a need andbeing a liaison for the commu-nity, that spokesperson for ourLatino community with non-Hispanic organizations or cor-porations, be the voice for themand continue to showcase thepride that we have, how we'redifferent-how we speak a dif-ferent language, how we havea different culture, and to makeNortheast Ohio an attractivedestination to live.”
That's her point-”Yo SoyLatino Cleveland” on TV andLatinoCleveland.com onlineserve as complements to eachother-a sort of double-barreledmegaphone to tout all thingsLatino across Northeast Ohio,the means to promote an over-looked population that hasincreased by nearly 14 per-cent, according to 2010 U.S.Census data.
