Aspiring bilingual teachers cross the border to gain insight

by Suzanne Potter

Immigration is a hot-button issue these days, but people studying to become bilingual teachers at one California university are making an effort to lower the temperature.

San Diego State University’s bilingual credential program sends prospective teachers on a four-day trip to impoverished schools in Tijuana, to help them understand the conditions many of their future students experience.

Erika Sandoval from Santa Clarita is a teacher-in-training in her first year of the program. She migrated to the U.S. herself from Mexico at age nine.

“Going back and hearing their stories,” said Sandoval, “some of them having families in the United States, some of them attempting to cross the border – took me back to when my parents had made the decision to come to this country as well. It was very emotional, to be honest.”

The teachers visit a school in a migrant shelter, one that has a program for students who are blind, and a third that is in one of the city’s lowest-income neighborhoods.

Sandoval said kids may be at school in Tijuana one week, and in California the next. So, the empathy gained from a cross-border trip can improve teacher effectiveness going forward.

“When you’re able to connect with them and build that trust with them,” said Sandoval, “there’s community with you, and they’re able to engage them in what you’re teaching them.”

Sarah Maharonnaghsh is a lecturer in the Dual Language and English Learner Education Department at San Diego State University, who helps organize the trips.

She said the teachers in training are often impressed with the Tijuana kids’ behavior – even though they lack adults taking on yard duties, and school supplies are scarce.

“There’s nobody supervising them on the playground, and they all seem to self-regulate,” said Maharonnaghsh. “Or if there’s a box of crayons, the kids are sharing with each other. So, they just see that that collectivist component of Mexican culture.”

She said the program emphasizes respect for the students’ culture, and helps teachers focus on kids’ assets rather than their deficits.

144 migrants found in cargo train wagon in Coahuila

by the El Reportero‘s wire services

During a joint rescue operation in the northern state of Coahuila, 144 migrants were released from a sealed wagon of a cargo train on Sunday.

The humanitarian rescue took place near a crossroads known as “Hermanas” in the municipality of Escobedo, just north of the city of Monclova.

he operation was carried out by Mexican Migration Institute (INM) agents in cooperation with the Defense Ministry (Sedena), the National Guard (GN) and Coahuila state authorities. The private railroad consortium Ferromex also participated in a supporting role as the train was located on its property.

In a press release, INM reported that the migrants were provided medical treatment on site after which their immigration status was reviewed. The INM found that none of the migrants had proper documentation.

The 144 migrants were from seven countries: Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

Fifty-two of the migrants comprised family units, while the other 94 — including 13 unaccompanied children — were categorized as traveling alone.

The children were turned over to state social services authorities (DIF) while the remainder of the rescued people were taken to local INM facilities.

This is at least the third such operation in Mexico this year, after a total of 787 migrants were rescued in two separate incidents in January.

Sixty-one migrants were freed from a residential property in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas after they were reportedly abducted from a bus traveling on the Reynosa-Matamoros highway and stripped of their valuables. They were being held for ransom until they were released from captivity, although no details of the rescue operation were provided.

The 61 victims were provided with medical attention and also received legal advice ahead of a review of their migratory status.

Two weeks later, 726 mostly Central American migrants — including 75 unaccompanied minors — were found by INM, Sedena and the GN in an abandoned warehouse in the central state of Tlaxcala after an anonymous tip was phoned in to authorities.

Six men were also arrested and turned over to the Tlaxcala Attorney General’s Office.

Migrants traveling through Mexico are increasingly vulnerable to kidnapping for ransom by criminal gangs and human traffickers.

Social realist sex: the failed promise of the sexual revolution

by Robert Tracinski

I have argued for the necessity of a third alternative in the culture wars. If ever there was an issue on which this is desperately needed, it’s sex.

The Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, in whose aftermath we all live, billed itself as an attempt to sweep away the fire-and-brimstone Puritanism it attributed to the previous era. Yet it turned itself into a twisted mirror image of that very Puritanism.

This sort of thing happens all the time, on both the left and the right: the other side draws a caricature of you, and you “defy” them by embracing the caricature. The advocates of the Sexual Revolution agree that sex is dirty, filthy, disgusting, meaningless, impersonal, and brutishly physical—but they’re for it! The symbol of this, in my mind, is when I occasionally see a come-on for “adult” website, usually in a spam e-mail, with a sales pitch along these lines: “This is the filthiest, nastiest, most disgusting site on the Web!” Who sells their product this way? Who sells food by advertising the filthiest, most disgusting restaurant in town?

And then a show like “Girls” comes along and says: sex is also awkward and ugly and fraught with emotional confusion and insecurity. Great! Where can I sign up?

So what went wrong?

What Went Wrong with the Sexual Revolution

The Sexual Revolution was not just about removing artificial impediments to sexual enjoyment. What it advocated was not merely sex without guilt, but sex that is “zipless,” i.e., “without emotional involvement or commitment.” It is sex without meaning, context, consequences—or human connection.

This is quite perverse, when you think about it. You have a movement that says it is in favor of sex, which then tries to empty sexuality of all value and significance. They seek to liberate sex by trivializing it.

One of the consequences is the well-documented death spiral of the pornography addict who needs more and more stimulation—something weirder, more shocking, more over-the-top—just to get the same level of arousal, like a drug addict who acquires resistance and needs higher and higher doses. When sex is trivialized and deprived of meaning, people have to find some way to fill the emptiness. Some of them will try to make it up on volume.

This also explains what I find most disturbing about the recent “Fifty Shades of Grey” phenomenon: the assumption that you have to make sex weird, forbidden, kinky, and dangerous in order to make it really interesting.

But this is a consequence of the core premise of the counterculture. The Sexual Revolution invariably defined sexual liberation negatively, as a form of opposition to a traditional morality that it was trying to tear down. In practically every variant of its mythology, there is the priggish authority figure that we are all out to shock. (Until we reached the point, somewhere between the emergence of Madonna and that of Miley Cyrus, when there was no remaining way to shock anyone, and it all became hopelessly boring.)

Sex Has Become Politics, to Its Demise

In this as in many things the counterculture’s self-serving portrait of the previous era was cartoonish. Prior to the 1960s, there were plenty of portrayals of sex as something that could be a lot of fun, not to mention glamorous and romantic, without any compulsion to inflate it into a warped caricature in defiance of some authority figure.

But after the 1960s, liberation wasn’t just about enjoying sex. It was about sticking it to The Man.

All of this leads us to the dead end of the Sexual Revolution, in which sex has become all about the least sexy thing on earth: politics. It’s no longer about defying joyless authority figures, because there is no authority figure more joyless than the campus feminist. Instead, it’s about “smashing the patriarchy.”

A great example of this is the cultural left’s ambivalence about gay marriage. It was advertised as a way for homosexuals to embrace the joys of a meaningful, committed long-term relationship. But now some of its own advocates are restlessly admitting that their actual goal was simply to tear down traditional marriage and do away with the institution.

Sonny Bunch recently quoted a Soviet filmmaker who criticized a Sergei Eisenstein film because “There was no socialist element in it.” Read Bunch’s summary of this Social Realist theory of art:

Doesn’t that perfectly describe the modern left’s culture war on sexuality? Sex is treated as an instrument for a political end. Your sex life may not be politically correct if “there is no social justice element in it,” as decided by whatever arbiter of social justice is loudest on Twitter this morning.

This Women’s History Month, JPMorgan Chase’s Rosa Ramos-Kwok Talks Career, Finances and Achieving Success

Rosa Ramos-Kwok, copresidenta norteamericana de Adelante, el grupo de recursos empresariales hispanos y latinos de JPMorgan Chase. -Rosa Ramos-Kwok, North American Co-Chair for Adelante, the Hispanic and Latino business resource group at JPMorgan Chase.

Sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Women’s History Month is a time to come together to celebrate and recognize the achievements and contributions of women throughout the years. For this Women’s History Month, we spoke with Rosa Ramos-Kwok, North American Co-Chair for Adelante, the Hispanic and Latino business resource group at JPMorgan Chase, to discuss her career journey, share tips on taking charge of your finances and other recommendations to achieving success.

– What has been key to your success throughout your career?

Some of the constant components in my career has been my work ethic, my enthusiasm and willingness to learn and try new things, attention to detail and caring about others as well as my craft.

Also, I never forgot where I came from. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents when I was a toddler. I was raised in a Spanish speaking home with humility and faith. My immigrant roots are the foundation for my work ethic, which I learned from my parents.  English is my second language, I learned early on that in order to move forward, you have to branch out and try something that maybe even scare you a little. I have built my career in technology, being a logical thinker who pays attention to the small details has served me well, especially in my early days debugging code.

-Looking back, what is one think you wish you knew when you were first starting out in your career?

We all have dreams, I wish I would have dreamed even bigger!  Careers are long, and continuing to push yourself to navigate the “jungle gym” that is a career requires a balance of patience, perseverance, determination and grit.  Always keep at it, as long as you stay the course and challenge yourself – you will get to where you want to go and then some!

– What are some tips for women to take charge of their career and finances?

Surround yourself with people who not only support you and lift you up, but with people who also care about your career development (a mentor and a sponsor). Stretch yourself to try something that scares you – volunteer for a tough assignment or think about a lateral move to increase your skills. The one piece of advice that I have when it comes to finances, is to set financial goals on savings, as well as investments. You can start small and build on it.

– Who is a woman in your career who’s shaped you and how has that person inspired you?

My mother and my teachers were always an inspiration to me. My mom was my first role model,  I learned the value of working hard from her. My teachers were my earliest cheerleaders. They challenged me and opened my eyes to what was possible (school choices are a good example). I believe in pushing up and pulling up. Build your network and your brand – what are you known for?  What do you want to be known for?  Knowledge is power – build your power through knowledge and then share it and tell others what you can do. It’s not just marketing – it’s about truth telling.

– How can people get involved to celebrate and support women at work?

I am a big advocate of getting involved in employee resource groups.  This will help you build your network and more importantly offer a community of likeminded individuals that can be a support system.

– JPMorgan Chase’s Women’s Leadership Day is one example of how we’re celebrating and supporting women at the firm. During the annual leadership conference dedicated to celebrating and empowering women, the firm brings together thousands of employees and clients in New York City, as well as virtually around the globe. The event features prominent speakers across various industries to discuss issues disproportionately impacting women today — including career growth, entrepreneurship, financial health, allyship, representation in leadership, healthcare, and much more.

Adelante is one of 10 business resource groups within the firm’s diversity, equity and inclusion organization, which includes Women on the Move, a dedicated initiative focused on the empowerment and advance of women.

Mexico says it won’t accept migrants deported under controversial Texas law

by Mexico News Daily

Mexico will not accept repatriations of migrants by the state of Texas “under any circumstances,” the Mexican government said Tuesday after the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Lone Star state could begin enforcing a controversial immigration law.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision on Tuesday that enabled Texas to enact Senate Bill 4 (SB 4), a state law that allows Texas authorities to detain undocumented migrants and people suspected of crossing the border illegally. It also authorizes local judges to order the deportation of those found to have entered the state unlawfully.

However, a federal U.S appeals court issued an order late Tuesday that prevented Texas from enforcing the law. The case returned to court on Wednesday in Louisiana, where a panel of three federal judges “heard arguments over whether the law can take force while its constitutionality is being challenged in court” but “did not immediately issue a ruling,” according to a New York Times report Wednesday.

The Texas government, led by Governor Greg Abbott, did not announce any arrests made under SB 4 during the period on Tuesday that the law was in effect. The United States government is challenging the law, arguing that only federal authorities have the authority to detain migrants who enter the U.S. without authorization.

The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) published a statement on Tuesday to condemn “on behalf of the government of Mexico” SB 4’s entry into force.

The ministry said that the law “seeks to stop the flow of migrants by criminalizing them, and encouraging the separation of families, discrimination and racial profiling that violate the human rights of the migrant community.”

The SRE also said that “Mexico categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control, and to arrest and return nationals or foreigners to Mexican territory.”

“… Mexico reiterates its legitimate right to protect the rights of its nationals in the United States and to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory. … Mexico will not accept, under any circumstances, repatriations by the State of Texas,” the ministry said.

It also said that the federal government would file “a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, Louisiana, to provide information on the impact that this law will have on the Mexican and/or Mexican American community and its effect on the relations between Mexico and the United States.”

The federal government has been speaking out against SB 4 since last year. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador asserted in December that Governor Abbott was attempting to “gain popularity” with the implementation of antimigrant measures but claimed that he would instead “lose support because there are a lot of Mexicans in Texas, a lot of migrants.”

The law is “inhumane” and “politically motivated,” he said, adding that Abbott is a “man with a malicious nature” or, in his terms,  “un malo de Malolandia,” or a “baddie from Badland.”

On Tuesday, Mexico’s leading presidential candidates added their voices to the condemnation of SB 4.

Claudia Sheinbaum, the candidate for the ruling Morena party, said that the law criminalizes “not just migrants” but also other people based on the color of their skin or their way of speaking or dressing.

“We issue a complaint about this unjust decision. We will always raise our voices in defense of the Mexicans on the other side of the border, who, to a large extent, support the economy of Texas,” she wrote on the X social media platform.

Xóchitl Gálvez, the candidate for the three-party opposition alliance Strength and Heart for Mexico, said that the U.S. Supreme Court allowing SB 4 to take effect violated the human rights of migrants in the United States.

“The government of Mexico must act firmly in defense of our compatriots and demand, with forceful actions, the annulment of this law that puts our migrant brothers and sisters at risk,” she wrote on X.

Mexico was one of the top 10 exporters worldwide last year

Mexico was one of the world’s top 10 exporters in 2023, rising four places in the rankings to ninth, the El Economista newspaper reported.

Citing data from the World Trade Organization (WTO), Mexico’s national statistics agency INEGI and the Federal Customs Service of Russia, El Economista reported Tuesday that Mexico surpassed Russia, Canada, Hong Kong and Belgium to become the ninth largest exporter in the world last year.

Never before has Mexico ranked as high as ninth in the global export rankings, and only once before, in 2019, has it found a place among the top 10.

The value of Mexico’s exports increased 2.6 percent last year to reach a record high of US $593.01 billion, according to preliminary data published by INEGI in January. The increase was sufficient to take Mexico past Russia, Canada, Hong Kong and Belgium, all of which recorded year-over-year declines in the value of their exports in 2023, El Economista said.

Over 80 percent of Mexico’s non-oil export revenue last year came from products shipped to the United States, while manufactured goods — including cars, auto parts, computers and machinery — generated almost 90 percent of all export income. Mexico was the top exporter to the United States last year, and the largest trade partner of the world’s largest economy.

Generational wealth now in reach for first-time California homebuyers

Homeownership, often the first step for generational wealth, is ever-more unaffordable for California families — especially those of color

by Selen Ozturk

Mar 15, 2024 – Homeownership, often the first step for generational wealth, is ever-more unaffordable for California families — especially those of color.

Now, the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) is changing that for first-generation homebuyers with its Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program.

Dream For All

The program, now in its second round thanks to $250 million from the state legislature, helped 2,000 homebuyers in its first round in April 2023. Dream For All is aimed to help another 2,000 now through a mortgage-lowering loan of up to $150,000 or 20 percent of a house purchase price, whichever is less.

“With this program, we’re trying to jumpstart the generational wealth that owning a home can get you,” said CalHFA Information Officer Eric Johnson. “If it’s a 20 percent loan, for example, you do have to pay that 20 percent when you sell or refinance the home, plus 20 percent of what you’ve gained in the sale, so we can use that money to fund the next generation of new homebuyers.

To be considered a first-generation homebuyer, applicants must not have owned their first home in the last seven years, and their parents must not currently own a home — or, if they died, must not have owned one at their passing. Those who were in the foster care system at any time also qualify.

To qualify for the loan, at least one person on it must be a California resident and at least one person must be a first-generation homebuyer, but these need not be the same person.

Income limits also apply per county, though they are as high as $287,000 for buyers in Santa Clara County and $280,000 for San Francisco and Marin.

“It does feel a little bit strange that a low-to-moderate-income homebuyer can make that much, but that’s where California is these days,” said Johnson.

Unlike the “first come, first served” first round of loans in 2023, this application period will be a lottery randomly drawn from applications filed between April 3 and April 29, so that funds are distributed more fairly. Although no announcement date for drawn names is set after they’re audited, it will likely be the first or second week of May.

To enter the lottery, first-time homebuyers will need a credit approval letter from one of CalHFA’s approved lenders. Those who win the loan have 90 days to find and buy a home.

There are so many Californians who have a good income, who have good jobs and credit, but haven’t been able to save up for a downpayment, not having the advantage of intergenerational wealth,” said Johnson.

Generational and racial wealth gaps

A disproportionate amount of these homebuyers are from communities of color, said Maeve Elise Brown, Executive Director and Founder of Housing and Economic Rights Advocates (HERA).

In 2023, the homeownership rate for Black U.S. households was at 45.9 percent — 28.6 percentage points below the white rate of 74.4 percent. For Latino households, the gap was a similar 25.8 percent below the white rate.

A 2022 poll with similar results found that 38 percent of white adults said they’d received at least $10,000 in gifts or loans from a relative for large expenses like a down payment, while only 14 percent of Black, 16 percent of Latino and 19 percent of Native American adults had.

“Though homeownership has been a generational economic driver, property values are outpacing our ability to pay them” — the average California home price is over $765,000 as of March 2024 — “and the debt people of color carry, especially student debt, creates a downpayment and safe loan credit barrier,” said Brown.

Black bachelor’s degree holders, for instance, have an average of $52,000 in student debt, and four years after graduation they hold nearly twice as much debt as their white peers. 46 percent of Black student borrowers are likely to put off buying a home due to this debt.

As this wealth gap expands, the racial homeownership gap is stagnating, said Ria Cotton, a broker and owner of Cotton Realty.

As of 2022, 72 percent of white Americans, 63 percent of Asian Americans, 51 percent of Hispanic Americans and 44 percent of Black Americans owned a home.

While the overall American homeownership rate rose from 64.7 percent a decade prior to 65.5 percent in 2022, the Black-white homeownership gap rose from 26 percent to 29 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors.

“The Dream For All loan lets people historically disadvantaged from buying a home leverage that generational wealth, but we can’t stop there,” explained Cotton. “We have to start with helping communities build credit, minimize debt-to-income and save for a downpayment, and talk about what happens after you buy — from foreclosure prevention, to developing more property, to using your credit for equity, like buying a car for lower interest rates.”

“Our message with this loan program is: ‘There’s hope. It’s still possible to buy a house in California,’” added Johnson.

“We have a wealth gap in this country that’s driving unequal homeownership, and this loan shows us how much your generational legacy matters in powering through it,” said Cotton.

Joaquín Murieta mural to be restored in East Los Angeles

by Truth Press

The Joaquín Murieta mural created by Willie Herrón III in East Los Angeles will be restored and reinstalled on the building when its reconstruction is completed early next year.

The mural depicts Murieta, a legendary Mexican and Chilean figure who starred during the California Gold Rush as the “Robin Hood of El Dorado.” Willie Herrón III created it for the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) in 1972 with the purpose of honoring the struggle and resistance put up by the Mexican miners, who in those days days they suffered violent discrimination as they sought economic opportunities in California. The artist himself will restore the work personally and the process will be documented by LAFLA itself.

The mural is part of the LAFLA en el 5228 del bulevar Whittier, Los Ángeles 90022.

“I am honored that this piece of art of mine has become a historical landmark that is an integral part of the East Los Angeles community today. I am very proud to have contributed to the legacy of this organization, LAFLA, which has been fighting poverty and discrimination in my hometown for more than half a century,” Herrón said.

The LAFLA organization opened its offices in East Los Angeles in 1972 and plans to rebuild its headquarters in the same current location in order to expand the services it provides to the community, facilitate access to them and generate a welcoming atmosphere for both customers and staff. Private interview rooms will allow lawyers working at the foundation to interview their clients in comfortable environments that allow confidentiality. Finally, a children’s play area will make it more accessible for families to visit services offered for families without child care, and a dedicated event space will allow LAFLA to host more legal clinics for immediate on-site services.

The new building is scheduled to begin construction this spring. During the course of construction, this East Los Angeles LAFLA branch will continue to provide services across the street at 5301 Whittier Boulevard, 4th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90022.

Los Mesoneros – Rock their lollapalooza Chile stage debut and premiere

Chile, Santiago – March 19, 2024 – The acclaimed alternative pop rock band, Los Mesoneros, burst onto the main stage of Lollapalooza Chile this past weekend with a performance that captivated the audience. Their debut at Lollapalooza Chile marks the beginning of an exciting year for the band, who recently released their new single ‘Su Lado De La Cama’. The song was performed live for the first time in front of the 210,000 people who attended the 12th edition of the festival. The next day, the band offered an additional show at the Sala Metrónomo in the same city, concluding their visit to Chile in a stunning way.

Produced by Los Mesoneros, ‘Su Lado De La Cama’ not only paves the way for the band’s fourth studio album, but also captures the essence of their alternative pop rock. Returning to their roots, the song highlights the prominence of the guitar and aims to revive the characteristic energy of their live performances, as they will demonstrate on March 29th and 30th at the prestigious Tecate Pal’ Norte in Monterrey, Mexico. In the event, they will share the stage with renowned bands such as Blink 182, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Arcade Fire, and Limp Bizkit, among others.

In May, the band will kick off their highly anticipated Los Mesoneros Tour 2024 in Mexico with performances in cities including Puebla, León, Guadalajara, Querétaro, and Tijuana, and additional dates to be announced very soon. Subsequently, in September, the band will bring their music to the United States, with shows in Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, New York, and Miami.
