Activists fight on several fronts against Trump government’s “public charge” regulations

September 17, 2019

Pro-immigrant experts argue that families should evaluate whether or not they abandon certain benefits, as this could be unnecessary and counterproductive

Ethnic Media Services

Immigrants who fear using certain public services because of a new “public charge” rule change issued by the Trump administration should not rush into leaving their families without assistance because, in the long run, this could be counterproductive to the family’s health and even legal status, activists and attorneys said Thursday.

The sweeping rule change, scheduled to take effect Oct. 15, will allow the government to consider the use of food stamps, housing subsidies and Medicaid to claim that an immigrant is a public charge on his or her application for residency or change of visa.

“We recommend talking to an immigration attorney, preferably from a community organization, before deciding whether to use or stop using any public service,” said Amanda Lugg, director of the African Services Committee, a human services organization based in Harlem, New York.

Lugg, like other health leaders, has begun training her staff to advise the community on what steps to take for the new changes. In the face of the tremendous fear expressed by so many immigrants regarding this change, she recommends that they evaluate very carefully whether or not it is in their best interest to stop using services that can be crucial to maintaining the health of their families.

“If you have a medical condition and not have health insurance, or are disabled by chronic illness, the best thing you can do for you and your family is to regain health, find a job, and get ahead,” Lugg said. “By the time you have to apply for your green card, the government of this country may have changed or the public charge regulations may no longer exist.”

While battling the new regulation, activists have launched an educational campaign to counter fear in the affected community.

During a teleconference organized by Ethnic Media Services and the National Immigration Law Center’s (NILC) Protecting Immigrant Families Campaign, health care leaders and legal experts agreed that the regulation “has the potential to cause enormous damage to the health of immigrant and minority communities.”

They indicated, however, that the community should not act hastily in abandoning public programs, although they reported that unfortunately this began to happen even before the regulation was officially announced.

“Since the preliminary regulation was announced last year, our staff at health centers were able to feel the fear of the community and see customers returning their WIC checks or wanting their names removed from our databases,” said Lisa David, president of Public Health Solutions in New York City, an organization that provides social services to vulnerable communities.

WIC, a food program for women and children, is not even included in the rule announced on Aug. 12, but every time the issue of public charge was in the news or a step in that direction was announced, “the number of people requesting the help dropped in our clinics.”

The activists emphasized that many programs are not included in the rule and that, in any case, it is not retroactive, it does not apply to those who applied for a change of visa or residence before October 15 of this year or to Medicaid, SNAP or Section 8 benefits received before that date.

They also recalled that none of this will affect people who already have legal residency who seek citizenship, naturalized asylum seekers, or survivors of domestic violence or crimes who have received a T or U visa, for example.

The final “public charge” regulation was announced on August 12 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and it expands the programs and factors that will be considered when deciding whether an applicant for a visa or green card has been or may become a public charge.

“Previously, only cash assistance programs counted in defining who could be a public charge,” explained Connie Choi, Director of NILC’s Immigrant Family Protection Campaign. “The new rule now includes the use of other programs such as SNAP, Section 8 (housing subsidies) and Medicaid, among other factors such as health, age, income, and so on.”

Children under the age of 21 who use Medicaid as well as pregnant women and new mothers who access this health program are exempt from the rule.

Meanwhile, these groups are battling legally and politically against Donald Trump’s government to minimize the effect of the new “public charge” regulation, delay or impede its implementation.

There are now half a dozen lawsuits against the rule, and a lawsuit filed by NILC on August 15, just three days after the final rule was issued, requests the suspension of the rule based on constitutional violations and damage to the public health system.

“The regulation would dramatically reform our nation’s legal immigration system, adding a wealth requirement focused on racial animus,” the activist said. “To pass this test, only a family of four making more than $65,000 annual income would be safe. We estimate that 26 million families will be affected.”

Los Angeles Congresswoman Judy Chu said the executive rule contradicts previous U.S. Congressional decisions not to include non-cash services in the public charge immigration test and pointed out that this is one more of the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants.

“This regulation puts a price tag on entry into this country, and at the same time it will make it harder for immigrant families to progress in this country,” Chu said. “It is ironic that the goal is to separate families, since immigrants ask for less public aid if they have families to support them. Staying together has been and continues to be a guarantee of success for immigrant families. ”

Chu has introduced a bill (HR 4422) with 92 co-sponsors that would prevent the use of federal funds to implement this regulation.

Thu Quach of Public Health Solutions, an Asian and Pacific community-focused health organization based in Oakland, said all the work the groups are doing to educate the community, including providing immigration legal advice, “takes resources away from health care.”

“All of this diverts resources that would have to be used in patient care and has an effect on the health system, the community and the organization,” Quach said.

Migration to US reduced by 56% between May and August: Foreign Affairs Secretary

September 17, 2019

Mexican National Guard played a key role in ‘a successful deployment’

The government reduced migration through Mexico to the United States border by 56% between May and August, Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said on Friday.

Ebrard told reporters at the presidential press conference that the reduction in the number of migrants “is a result of diverse measures that the government has taken in compliance with Mexican immigration law.”

They include the deployment of the National Guard to step up enforcement against undocumented migrants, a measure to which Mexico agreed in June as part of a deal with the United States to end a threat to impose tariffs on all Mexican goods.

The number of people detained by the U.S. at its southern border dropped from 144,266 in May to 63,989 in August, according to information presented to reporters.

Ebrard said that 25,451 National Guardsmen have been deployed to the north and south of the country to stem the flow of undocumented migrants, highlighting that there have only been seven official complaints about their operation.

“The National Guard has participated in a very distinguished way…We only have seven complaints at the [National] Human Rights Commission. In other words, it’s a successful deployment,” he said.

Ebrard said that 2,186 migrants traveling in semi-trailers towards the northern border have been “rescued” and that more than 1,000 people have been charged with human trafficking or people smuggling offenses.

The foreign secretary also spoke about the implementation of Mexico’s development plan in Central America.

With limited resources, Mexico has shown that jobs can be created in countries such as Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, Ebrard said. Job creation “is better than any other policy” to reduce migration, he added.

President López Obrador pledged in July to give US $90 million a year in development aid to the three Northern Triangle countries of Central America, where Mexico is supporting reforestation programs that are expected to generate tens of thousands of jobs.

López Obrador has consistently argued that stimulating economic and social development in Central America and southern Mexico is the best way to reduce migration to the United States.

Ebrard, who will discuss Mexico’s efforts to curb migration with United States officials in Washington D.C. next week, said the government is committed to supporting development in the region long term.

“Mexico will continue this strategy. I don’t expect a [new] tariff threat because there is a [migration] reduction of 56 percent. We urge the government of the United States to support Mexico’s [development] strategy,” he said.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, President Trump thanked Mexico, the Mexican government and the “great president of Mexico for helping us” to reduce migration.

“They’re helping us in a very big way. Far bigger than anybody thought even possible,” he said.

As part of the bilateral agreement struck in June, Mexico also agreed to accept the return of all asylum seekers that passed through the country as they await the outcome of their claims in the United States.

Official U.S. data on illegal crossings at the Mexico-United States border will be released next week, acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said.

AMLO celebrates sweeping away the corruption of the past 30 years

Five presidents used their time in office to loot the wealth, charges Mexico’s López Obrador

President López Obrador has declared that there is “zero corruption” in the federal government as a result of his dedication to “sweeping away” what has developed over the past 30 years.

Speaking at an event on Friday at the Matehuala Rural Hospital in San Luis Potosí, López Obrador railed against his predecessors, declaring that the past five presidents from Carlos Salinas de Gortari to Enrique Peña Nieto used their time in office to loot the country’s wealth.

On the same day as he denounced the excessive spending of the Peña Nieto government on supplies for the presidential plane, the leftist leader accused past presidents of reckless extravagance, claiming that they squandered public money on things such as luxury toilet paper and overseas junkets.

López Obrador also took aim at past governments’ “forgiveness” of the tax debt of large companies and the nation’s wealthy, charging that public coffers were deprived of 400 billion pesos (US $20.5 billion) in revenue during the administrations of Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderón alone.

“A famous bank didn’t pay taxes while farmers, doctors, nurses and workers did,” the president said.

Under his administration, tax debt forgiveness has been eradicated, López Obrador declared using a colorful colloquialism to make his point.

“There is zero corruption” in the cabinet and government departments, the president said, adding that citizens now need to follow his example and put an end to – or “sweep away” – the “cancer” that afflicts Mexico more broadly.

López Obrador cited his government’s crackdown on fuel theft as one of the big challenges it inherited from past administrations, which he claimed tacitly approved the crime and even factored in the revenue losses it caused.

The president claimed that on his watch, petroleum theft has declined 95% from 80,000 barrels per day to 4,000.

As a result, 50 billion pesos (US $2.6 billion) that would have been lost had theft levels remained the same will flow into government coffers, López Obrador said, pointing out that the amount is higher than the entire annual budget of the state of San Luis Potosí.

El Chapo says assets should go to Mexico’s indigenous peoples

September 17, 2019

Former cartel boss says money belongs to Mexico, not US: lawyer

by the El Reportero’s wire services

Convicted drug trafficker Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán wants his money to go to Mexico’s indigenous communities, a lawyer for the former Sinaloa Cartel leader said on Wednesday.

José Luis González Meza said that his client told his mother and sisters via telephone that he was aware that the United States was seeking to seize US $14 billion of his assets.

Guzmán “said the money doesn’t belong to the United States but to the government of Mexico,” the lawyer told a press conference.

González added that “El Chapo” expressed his full support for his wealth to be returned to Mexico on the condition that President López Obrador distribute it to indigenous communities.

The announcement of Guzmán’s wish came two and a half months after López Obrador said that his government would seek to seize the former drug lord’s assets.

To that end, the Senate is proposing the creation of a binational commission to negotiate the return of assets seized from Guzmán and any other Mexican criminals who are tried and convicted in the United States.

The president said on Thursday he liked the idea. “. . . it looks good to me. I applaud the announcement.”

González also said yesterday that he is seeking Guzmán’s repatriation to Mexico. He was extradited to the United States in January 2017 and found guilty on trafficking charges in February.

During his 11-week-trial, jurors heard tales of grisly killings, political payoffs, high living and a massive drug-smuggling operation that resulted in huge quantities of cocaine and other drugs crossing Mexico’s northern border.

At a sentencing hearing in July, federal Judge Brian Cogan handed down a prison term of life plus 30 years and ordered the 62-year-old former narco to forfeit US $12.6 billion, an amount that represents the total amount of illegal drugs the jury determined he shipped to the U.S.

Guzmán is now incarcerated is the so-called “Supermax” prison in Florence, Colorado, the United States’ most secure penitentiary.

Former Mexican police officers request million-dollar compensation

Thirteen former Mexican policemen implicated in the disappearance of the 43 student teachers of Ayotzinapa, released without charges in an irregular manner, are now demanding millions in compensation, denounced the Governor of Guerrero, Hector Astudillo, on Friday.

Astudillo called on judges to act in accordance with the law and the seriousness of the acts, in the face of the imminent release of another 50 alleged perpetrators.

This Friday it was reported that in Iguala, search teams have recorded the disappearance of 1,200 people since 2010.

The former officers are demanding compensation from the municipality of Iguala of 13 million pesos for lost earnings, revealed Mayor Antonio Jaimes Herrera, who warned that the figure could skyrocket, leaving the city in ruins, if more officers are exonerated.

The release of Gildardo Lopez, ‘El Gil,’ from the Altiplano prison, by decision of Judge Samuel Ventura, has aggravated this chaotic situation, with the expected release of fifty more police officers and civilians who will also demand compensation, search groups emphasized.

Astudillo condemned the exoneration of El Gil, the main suspect in the case, and recognized leader of the United Warriors hitmen, responsible for hundreds murders, and urged the authorities to halt the releases.
