DERECHOS REPRODUCTIVOS: RESULTADOS DE LOS REFERENDOS EN 10 ESTADOS
José López Zamorano
La Red Hispana
Araíz
de la decisión de 2022 de la Suprema Corte de Justicia que revocó Roe vs Wade, el futuro de los derechos reproductivos está en manos de las ciudadanas y ciudadanos de Estados Unidos.
Sólo en las pasadas elecciones del 5 de noviembre se pusieron a voto 10 referendos relacionados con los derechos reproductivos, además de otras 6 iniciativas que habían sido votadas previamente.
La buena noticia es que 7 de los referendos para proteger los derechos reproductivos fueron aprobados por las y los votantes, de acuerdo con un monitoreo realizado por la Kaiser Family Foundation.
Arizona
Arizona aprobó por mayoría una iniciativa que protege el aborto hasta la viabilidad del feto Y protege la vida y la salud de la persona embarazada
Colorado
Colorado pasó un referendo que reconoce el derecho al aborto y deroga una enmienda constitucional anterior que prohibía el uso de fondos estatales para brindar cobertura del aborto.
Maryland
Maryland garantizó el derecho a la libertad reproductiva, incluida la capacidad de prevenir, continuar o interrumpir el propio embarazo.
Missouri
Missouri prohibió el aborto y protegió la libertad reproductiva y la capacidad de tomar y efectuar decisiones en torno a la salud reproductiva, incluido el aborto hasta la viabilidad.
Nebraska
Nebraska enmendó la constitución para prohibir el aborto en el segundo y tercer trimestre, excepto en emergencias médicas o cuando el embarazo sea resultado de violación o incesto.
Nevada
Nevada estableció un derecho fundamental al aborto hasta la viabilidad del feto o cuando sea necesario para proteger la vida o la salud de la persona embarazada.
Nueva York
Nueva York enmendó la Constitución sobre igualdad de derechos para incluir protecciones contra la discriminación en materia de embarazo, resultados del embarazo, atención médica reproductiva y autonomía.
Florida, Nebraska, Dakota del Sur
En contraste, en Florida fracasó un referendo para proteger el derecho al aborto hasta la viabilidad y cuando sea necesario para salvaguardar la salud de la persona embarazada. En Nebraska falló una iniciativa para establecer un derecho fundamental al aborto hasta la viabilidad del feto. Lo mismo en Dakota del Sur.
Wyoming
Y apenas esta semana la jueza Melissa Owens del Tribunal de Distrito del Condado de Teton dictaminó que dos prohibiciones estatales del aborto violan la Constitución de Wyoming y no podían aplicarse. Una de ellas prohibía el uso de píldoras para el aborto.
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS: REFERENDUM RESULTS IN 10 STATES
Las encuestas dejaron en claro, que por primera vez en varios ciclos electorales, el tema de los derechos reproductivos ocupó un alto nivel de preocupación de las y los votantes en Estados Unidos.
Y los referendos se han convertido en una herramienta crucial para que los ciudadanos tomen decisiones directas sobre este derecho fundamental. De esa manera las más importantes políticas públicas pueden ser determinadas por el voto libre, secreto y, esperamos, bien informado, de las y los ciudadanos.

ollowing the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe vs Wade, the future of reproductive rights is in the hands of the citizens of the United States.
In the November 5 elections alone, 10 referendums related to reproductive rights were put to a vote, in addition to 6 other initiatives that had been previously voted on.
The good news is that 7 of the referendums to protect reproductive rights were approved by voters, according to monitoring conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Arizona
Arizona approved by majority an initiative that protects abortion until the viability of the fetus AND protects the life and health of the pregnant person
Colorado
Colorado passed a referendum that recognizes the right to abortion and repeals a previous constitutional amendment that prohibited the use of state funds to provide abortion coverage.
Maryland
Maryland guaranteed the right to reproductive freedom, including the ability to prevent, continue, or terminate one's pregnancy.
Missouri
Missouri banned abortion and protected reproductive freedom and the ability to make and effectuate reproductive health decisions, including abortion up to viability.
Nebraska
Nebraska amended the constitution to ban second- and third-trimester abortion except in medical emergencies or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
Nevada
Nevada established a fundamental right to abortion up to fetal viability or when necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person.
New York
New York amended the Equal Rights Constitution to include protections against discrimination regarding pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive health care, and autonomy.
Florida, Nebraska, South Dakota
In contrast, a referendum in Florida to protect the right to abortion up to viability and when necessary to safeguard the health of the pregnant person failed. In Nebraska, an initiative to establish a fundamental right to abortion up to fetal viability failed. The same in South Dakota.
Wyoming
And just this week, Teton County District Court Judge Melissa Owens ruled that two state abortion bans violated the Wyoming Constitution and could not be enforced. One of them prohibited the use of abortion pills.
Polls made it clear that for the first time in several election cycles, the issue of reproductive rights was at the top of the list of concerns among voters in the United States.
And referendums have become a crucial tool for citizens to make direct decisions about this fundamental right. In this way, the most important public policies can be determined by the free, secret and, we hope, well-informed vote of citizens.

California
could be in for some big cuts to health care for low-income families under a second Trump administration, according to health experts.
Policy specialists at the nonprofit KFF said they are bracing for Trump allies in Congress to make major reductions to Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, in order to pay for big tax cuts promised by the president-elect.
Larry Levitt, executive vice president of health policy at KFF, said it would force states to backfill or raise costs.
"For the ACA, simply letting enhanced financial aid expire after next year would result in big out-of-pocket premium increases, reduced enrollment and more people uninsured," Levitt projected.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Trump's choice for Health and Human Services Secretary, did not say much
on the campaign trail about funding for Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act, so his positions are unclear. Kennedy has expressed skepticism about vaccines and has said the U.S. should stop putting fluoride in drinking water.
Jennifer Kates, senior vice president and director of the Global Health and HIV Policy Program for KFF, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cannot require states to follow its recommendations on vaccines and fluoridation.
"That's up to states and local governments," Kates
explained. "But CDC can recommend, and if those recommendations are not being made or being watered down or changed, that sends a message to states, to schools, to parents."
Health advocates are also raising concerns DACA recipients could lose access to health plans sold on the state marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act. Changes to so-called "public charge" rules could make families with mixed immigration status hesitant to use Medicaid benefits.

podría sufrir grandes recortes en la atención médica para familias de bajos ingresos bajo una segunda administración Trump, según expertos en salud.
Especialistas en políticas de la organización sin fines de lucro KFF dijeron que se están preparando para que los aliados de Trump en el Congreso hagan importantes reducciones a la expansión de Medicaid bajo la Affordable Care Act, para poder pagar los grandes recortes de impuestos prometidos por el
presidente electo.
Larry Levitt, vicepresidente ejecutivo de políticas de salud de KFF, dijo que obligaría a los estados a reponer o aumentar los costos.
"Para la ACA, simplemente dejar que la ayuda financiera mejorada expire después del próximo año resultaría en grandes aumentos de las primas de bolsillo, una reducción de la inscripción y más personas sin seguro", proyectó Levitt.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., elegido por el presidente electo Trump para Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos, no dijo mucho durante la campaña electoral
sobre la financiación de Medicaid o la Affordable Care Act, por lo que sus posiciones no están claras. Kennedy ha expresado escepticismo sobre las vacunas y ha dicho que Estados Unidos debería dejar de poner fluoruro en el agua potable.
Jennifer Kates, vicepresidenta senior y directora del Programa de Políticas Globales de Salud y VIH de KFF, dijo que los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades no pueden exigir a los estados que sigan sus recomendaciones sobre vacunas y fluoruro.
"Eso depende de los gobiernos estatales y locales", explicó Kates. "Pero los CDC pueden recomendar, y si esas recomendaciones no se hacen, se diluyen o se modifican, eso envía un mensaje a los estados, a las escuelas y a los padres".
Defensores de la salud también expresan su preocupación de que los beneficiarios de DACA puedan perder el acceso a los planes de salud vendidos en los mercados estatales creados bajo la Affordable Care Act. Los cambios a las llamadas reglas de "carga pública" podrían hacer que las familias con estatus migratorio mixto duden en utilizar los beneficios de Medicaid.

ELECTION RESULTS COULD BRING RENEWED EMPHASIS ON VOUCHERS, CHARTER SCHOOLS
RESULTADOS ELECTORALES PODRÍAN TRAER UN ÉNFASIS RENOVADO EN VALES Y ESCUELAS CHARTER
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL
DuringDonald Trump’s first term as president, he was reluctant to speak boldly about school choice.
That’s according to Kellyanne Conway, an aide to the president back then, and one of his former campaign managers. “He would say ‘Aren’t we the ones who say it [education] is local? Why would the president of the United States bigfoot all that?’”
Expect that reticence to be a thing of the past, Conway told the audience at an event last week devoted to promoting the benefits of school choice — from sweeping education savings accounts in the style of programs in West Virginia and Arizona to charter schools and microschools. On the campaign trail, Trump already has been vocal about his embrace of parental choice. “We want federal education dollars to follow the student, rather than propping up a bloated and radical bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.,” he said at a rally in Wisconsin last month.
(To be sure, Trump did issue an executive order near the end of his first term offering states the opportunity to use federal money to create school choice programs. When I looked into it a few years ago, I couldn’t find any state that had taken him up on the offer.)
Conway urged participants at the post-Election Day gathering to speak a certain way in their advocacy to lawmakers going forward. “Lead with solutions not problems. The problems can be the second part of the sentence, or maybe the second paragraph.” The panelists — including the founder of a group of charter schools for students with autism in Arizona, the leader of a private school for boys in Alabama and the head of a foundation that supports microschools — were all winners of the Yass Prize, fueled by billionaire Jeff Yass and run by the Center for Education Reform.
She also urged the crowd not to make school choice about teachers unions, “which is fun to do, especially this week but it doesn’t educate another child.” (The National Education Association, the nation’s largest labor union, generally has opposed private school vouchers and has been celebrating the defeat of school choice measures at the ballot box in three states. “The decisive defeat of vouchers on the ballot across multiple states speaks loudly and clearly: The public knows vouchers harm students and does not want them in any form,” NEA
Lawmakers who need convincing aren’t holding out just because of union pressure, Conway said. In Texas, for instance, rural lawmakers worried about the effect of vouchers on their schools have repeatedly voted down or torpedoed plans in that state that would allow parents to use public money for private school tuition. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott helped elect enough new members in place of those rural holdouts, however, that school choice may soon be a reality in his state.
The school choice event at the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C. was notable for the range of people it featured, including parents and pastors, people who are white, Black and Latino, and several Democrats, including Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and state Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams of Pennsylvania. Some of the speakers told stories about opening their own charter schools and private schools. They urged the president-elect to take action on choice, including allowing federal subsidies for school meals for children in low-income families to follow those kids to private schools or other settings outside public schools.
In Congress, with Republicans taking hold of the Senate and expected to retain control of the House, lawmakers already have proposed legislation that has, until now, mostly been a nonstarter. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who is likely to become chair of the committee that oversees education in his chamber, introduced a bill this session that would give families and corporations tax credits if they contribute to groups that give scholarships to students to attend private or parochial schools. It would target students whose families earn no more than 300 percent of the area median gross income. Cassidy’s wife, Laura, runs a charter school for children with dyslexia in Baton Rouge.
“I think that there’s going to be a real opportunity to promote innovation in school choice,” Cassidy said. “There is great promise in this administration, and I am looking forward to working with them.”

Durante
el primer mandato de Donald Trump como presidente, se mostró reacio a hablar con valentía sobre la elección de escuelas.
Eso es según Kellyanne Conway, asistente del presidente en ese entonces y una de sus exdirectoras de campaña. “Él decía: ‘¿No somos nosotros los que decimos que [la educación] es local? ¿Por qué el presidente de los Estados Unidos haría todo eso?’”
Espere que esa reticencia sea cosa del pasado, dijo Conway a la audiencia en un evento la semana pasada dedicado a promover los beneficios de la elección de escuela, desde amplias cuentas de ahorro para educación al estilo de los programas en Virginia Occidental y Arizona hasta escuelas autónomas y microescuelas. Durante la campaña electoral, Trump ya ha expresado abiertamente su aceptación de la elección de los padres. “Queremos que los dólares federales para la educación sigan al estudiante, en lugar de apuntalar una burocracia inflada y radical en Washington, D.C.”, dijo en un mitin en Wisconsin el mes pasado.
(Sin duda, Trump emitió una orden ejecutiva cerca del final de su primer mandato ofreciendo a los estados la oportunidad de utilizar dinero federal para crear programas de elección de escuelas. Cuando lo investigué hace unos años, no pude encontrar ningún estado que había aceptado la oferta.)
Conway instó a los participantes en la reunión posterior al día de las elecciones a hablar de cierta manera en su defensa ante los legisladores en el futuro. “Liderar con soluciones, no con problemas. Los problemas pueden ser la segunda parte de la oración o quizás el segundo párrafo”. Los panelistas, incluido el fundador de un grupo de escuelas autónomas para estudiantes con autismo en Arizona, el líder de una escuela privada para niños en Alabama y el director de una fundación que apoya las microescuelas, fueron todos ganadores del Premio Yass, impulsado por el multimillonario Jeff Yass y dirigido por el Center for Education Reform.
También instó a la multitud a no elegir la escuela en función de los sindicatos de maestros, “lo cual es divertido de hacer, especialmente esta semana, pero no educa a otro niño”. (La Asociación Nacional de Educación, el sindicato laboral más grande del país, en general se ha opuesto a los vales para escuelas privadas y ha estado celebrando la derrota de las medidas de elección de escuela en las urnas en tres estados. “La derrota decisiva de los vales en las boletas en varios estados habla en voz alta y claramente: el público sabe que los vales perjudican a los estudiantes y no los quiere de ninguna forma”, dijo la presidenta
la NEA, Becky Pringle, en un comunicado). Los legisladores que necesitan ser convencidos no se resisten sólo por la presión sindical, dijo Conway. En Texas, por ejemplo, los legisladores rurales preocupados por el efecto de los vales en sus escuelas han rechazado o torpedeado repetidamente los planes en ese estado que permitirían a los padres utilizar dinero público para la matrícula de las escuelas privadas. El gobernador republicano Greg Abbott ayudó a elegir suficientes nuevos miembros en lugar de los que se resisten en las zonas rurales; sin embargo, la elección de escuela pronto podría ser una realidad en su estado.
El evento de elección de escuela en el edificio Ronald Reagan en D.C. se destacó por la variedad de personas que contó, incluidos padres y pastores, personas blancas, negras y latinas, y varios demócratas, incluidos el gobernador de Colorado, Jared Polis, y el senador estatal Anthony. Hardy Williams de Pensilvania. Algunos de los oradores contaron historias sobre la apertura de sus propias escuelas charter y escuelas privadas. Instaron al presidente electo a tomar medidas sobre las opciones, incluido permitir subsidios federales para comidas escolares para niños de familias de bajos ingresos para que sigan a esos niños a escuelas privadas u otros entornos fuera de las escuelas públicas.
En el Congreso, mientras los republicanos controlan el Senado y se espera que conserven el control de la Cámara de Representantes, los legisladores ya han propuesto una legislación que, hasta ahora, en su mayoría no ha tenido éxito. El senador Bill Cassidy de Luisiana, quien probablemente presida el comité que supervisa la educación en su cámara, presentó en esta sesión un proyecto de ley que otorgaría a las familias y corporaciones créditos fiscales si contribuyen a grupos que otorgan becas a estudiantes para asistir a escuelas privadas o privadas. escuelas parroquiales. Se dirigiría a estudiantes cuyas familias no ganan más del 300 por ciento del ingreso bruto medio del área. La esposa de Cassidy, Laura, dirige una escuela autónoma para niños con dislexia en Baton Rouge.
"Creo que habrá una oportunidad real para promover la innovación en la elección de escuelas", dijo Cassidy. "Hay grandes promesas en esta administración y espero trabajar con ellos".

EARTHTALK Q&A: WHERE ARE THE CLIMATE REFUGES?
Dear EarthTalk: Have extreme weather events in places like Asheville, NC made people rethink where they consider to be good “climate refuges” as the world warms? - K.L., Raleigh, NC
ed by extreme weather.
Theconcept of the “climate refuge,” or a location relatively unaffected by extreme weather phenomena, arose in response to the growing frequency of tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, droughts and other disasters. According to the Global Climate Resilience Ranking, the U.S. has one of the world’s largest numbers of these “refuges” as a result of the nation’s geography and ability to efficiently protect and rebuild assets and infrastructure.
Experts have long predicted that these least climate-affected communities lie in the interior Northeast, Midwest and Rust Belt. Yet many have also viewed areas in the inland South as meeting the qualifications of climate refuge. However, these communities have increasingly dealt with their own disasters. Vermont, ranked at the bottom of the climate risk index, is still recovering one year later from the Great Vermont Flood of 2023 which caused several fatalities and roughly $2.2 billion in damage.
In late September 2024, mudslides in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina took dozens of lives and caused horrific damage. Asheville, NC, one of the hardest hit cities, has been one of the many “refuge” destinations for Americans moving inland from coastal areas, citing rising sea levels and heightened insurance costs as affecting their decision.
As the reach of disasters grows, experts push for investment into the states comprising the Rust Belt, interior Northeast and northern great plains. These fairly temperate states are located far from warming oceans, and are ideal geographically. However, there are other challenges to these “havens.” Much of the Rust Belt struggles with high poverty rates and would require significant aid and investment to support a large population influx. But as the effect of extreme weather in the South, West and exterior Northeast regions have escalated, so has federal and private investment. In late September, the Energy Department closed a $1.52 billion loan to revive the shuttered Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan. And the tech giant Micron Technology Inc. opened a 2022 chip plant in central NY, creating an anticipated 50,000 jobs.
The increasing reach of natural disasters across the U.S will likely shift the public’s idea of a “climate refuge” upwards and inwards. But while these regions may offer greater refuge from climate-impacted disasters, the idea of a completely immune “haven’ is unrealistic as proven throughout the past decade. Even the most isolated high-elevation community van be impact-

Elconcepto de "refugio climático", o lugar relativamente poco afectado por fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, surgió en respuesta a la creciente frecuencia de tornados, huracanes, inundaciones, sequías y otras catástrofes. Según el Ranking Mundial de Resiliencia Climática, Estados Unidos tiene uno de los mayores números de estos "refugios" del mundo como consecuencia de la geografía del país y de su capacidad para proteger y reconstruir eficazmente sus bienes e infraestructuras.

Los expertos llevan tiempo prediciendo que estas comunidades menos afectadas por el clima se encuentran en el interior del Noreste, el Medio Oeste y el Cin- turón del Óxido. Sin embargo, muchos también han considerado que las zonas del interior del Sur reúnen las condiciones de refugio climático. Sin embargo, estas comunidades se han enfrentado cada vez más a sus propios desastres. Vermont, clasificada en la parte inferior del índice de riesgo climático, sigue recuperándose un año después de la Gran Inundación de Vermont de 2023, que causó varias víctimas mortales y unos 2.200 millones de dólares en daños.
A finales de septiembre de 2024, los corrimientos de tierra en los Montes Apalaches de Tennessee y Carolina del Norte se cobraron decenas de vidas y causaron terribles daños. Asheville (Carolina del Norte), una de las ciudades más afectadas, ha sido uno de los muchos destinos "refugio" para los estadounidenses que se trasladan al interior desde las zonas costeras, alegando la subida del nivel del mar y el aumento de los costes de los seguros como factores que afectan a su decisión.
A medida que aumenta el alcance de las catástrofes, los expertos presionan para que se invierta en los estados que comprenden el Cinturón del Óxido, el noreste interior y las grandes llanuras del norte. Estos estados, bastante templados, están situados lejos de los océanos cálidos y son ideales geográficamente. Sin embargo, hay otros retos para estos «paraísos». Gran parte del Cinturón del Óxido lucha contra altos índices de pobreza y necesitaría importantes ayudas e inversiones para soportar una gran afluencia de población. Pero a medida que han aumentado los efectos del clima extremo en las regiones del Sur, el Oeste y el noreste exterior, también lo han hecho las inversiones federales y privadas. A finales de septiembre, el Departamento de Energía cerró un préstamo de 1.520 millones de dólares para reactivar la clausurada central nuclear de Palisades, en Michigan. Y el gigante tecnológico Micron Technology Inc. inauguró una planta de chips para 2022 en el centro de Nueva York, creando previsiblemente 50.000 puestos de trabajo.
El creciente alcance de las catástrofes naturales en todo Estados Unidos probablemente hará que la idea de "refugio climático" que tiene el público se desplace hacia arriba y hacia el interior. Pero aunque estas regiones puedan ofrecer un mayor refugio frente a las catástrofes provocadas por el clima, la idea de un «refugio» completamente inmune no es realista, como se ha demostrado a lo largo de la última década. Incluso la comunidad más aislada situada a gran altitud puede verse afectada por fenómenos meteorológicos extremos.

‘A
PIVOTAL
MOMENT?’
WHY MANY LATINO VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA CHOSE TRUMP
In part due to economic and border security concerns, Latinos in California appear to have moved toward Donald Trump. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re abandoning the Democratic Party.
Yue Stella Yu CalMatters
MERCED
– At first, Marlyn Huesgew Mendoza registered as a Democrat. In 2020, she re-registered as a Republican and voted for Donald Trump for president, as she did this election.
The reason is simple: It was in 2018 — when he was in office — that her family was finally able to buy a house in Merced. The same year, the Trump administration approved her Guatemalan mother’s citizenship application — one that had been rejected under President Barack Obama, she said. The approval letter had Trump’s signature on it.
“She’s like: ‘Look who adopted me,’” said Huesgew Mendoza, a 25-year-old graduate from University of California Merced and an administrative assistant at the Merced County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
“Once he came in and it was just so easy for us, I was like, ‘Huh, he might not be as scary as people may think.’”
Most — if not all — of California’s 12 Latino-majority counties gave a larger share of their vote to Trump compared to 2020, and counties with a higher share of Latino population swung further toward Trump, according to a CalMatters analysis of state voting data. Trump also expanded his vote share in most other counties in California.
But does that signal a rightward shift among Latinos and a departure from the Democratic Party in California?
The answer is complicated.
Absent conclusive demographic data on votes cast in this election, pollsters disagree over how much their surveys show Latinos shifting toward Trump. The AP VoteCast, which surveyed more than 120,000 voters nationwide in English and Spanish, shows 55% of Latino respondents supported Vice President Kamala Harris, while 43% backed Trump. In 2020, Joe Biden won 63% of the vote among Latino respondents versus Trump’s 35%.
But almost all polls reached the same conclusion: Latino support has grown for Trump.
A mix of factors contributed to the apparent shift: Inflation blamed on an unpopular administration, concern over border security, resistance to Democrats’ messaging on cultural issues and Harris’ lack of appeal, according to pollsters, experts, political consultants and a dozen Latinos in the Central Valley who spoke to CalMatters.
How much other Republicans gained from the
growing support for Trump remains to be seen. Nationwide, Democrats won four of the five battleground U.S. Senate seats and declared victory on abortion rights ballot measures in Arizona, Missouri and Nevada.
In California, with 88% of the estimated vote counted, Trump has received slightly fewer votes than Republican U.S. Senate candidate Steve Garvey. And in some counties within the state’s toss-up congressional districts, Democratic candidates appear to be outperforming Harris. In Merced County, which falls entirely into the 13th Congressional District, Democrat Adam Gray has received 5 percentage points more of the vote than Harris, with nearly 80% of the votes counted.
For Gray, who is narrowly trailing Republican Rep. John Duarte, this election does not reflect voters flocking toward Republicans.
“What you want to call a rightward shift, I would call a rejection of more of the same. Voters are saying … ‘We want you guys to change,’” he told CalMatters. “I think people want to see us get back to the basics, and if I’m elected to Congress, I’m going to do just that.”
But Mike Madrid, a longtime GOP consultant with an expertise in Latino politics, called this election a “five-alarm fire” for Democrats, who he said have gradually lost support among Latino voters since 2012. He pointed to a pair of Pew Research Center surveys, which suggested Latino support for the Democratic presidential can-

‘The bottom line is money’ Huesgew Mendoza isn’t alone in believing that her life changed for the better after Trump took office in 2017.
Sandra Izaguirre, a 34-year-old in-home caretaker from Lancaster in Los Angeles County, said she supported Obama in 2008, but not in 2012. Then a first-time mother working at a fast food restaurant, Izaguirre needed health care. Obamacare required bigger businesses to provide fulltime employees health benefits or pay a fee, so Izaguirre said her employer just cut her hours to disqualify her.
“I wasn’t improving. If anything, I was hurting more,” she said. “I just wanted a change already.”
That drove her to vote for Trump in 2016. A year later, Izaguirre said, she was able to buy her first home.
didate dropped from 71% for Obama in 2012 to 59% for Biden in 2020.
In California, a majority of Latinos have firmly supported Democrats after former GOP Gov. Pete Wilson championed Proposition 187, which was approved by voters in 1994 to deny benefits to undocumented immigrants but was blocked by the courts. But that support could erode as cost of living increases, alienating working-class residents, many of whom are Latinos, Madrid said.
“I think this is a pivotal moment. I think it’s as significant as the Prop. 187 moment in 1994, except it was a wake-up call for Republicans,” Madrid said.
But some experts warned it may be too early to tell if the past three presidential elections are a referendum on the Democratic Party, given that Democrats have won toss-up statewide races in battleground states and have won every statewide race in California since 2006.
This election is an outlier, with Biden withdrawing from the race and passing the torch to Harris so late in the campaign, said Roberto Suro, a professor of journalism and public policy at the University of Southern California.
“You’ve got to put an asterisk on this election, or actually, multiple asterisks. Trump as a candidate is a giant asterisk,” Suro said. “Trying to say we are seeing any kind of permanent realignment is a mistake.”
But because she couldn’t work as an in-home caregiver during the COVID-19 pandemic, she said she almost defaulted on her house but was saved by a federal mortgage relief program approved on Trump’s watch. The economic downturn, mixed with the state’s failure to stop unemployment benefits fraud, was “a recipe for disaster,” she said.
Even economic concerns, however, weren’t enough to drive Izaguirre to the polls this November. But that’s not because she didn’t support Trump: She said her vote for him in deepblue California would not have made a difference anyway.
But the economy is top of mind among Latino voters, as well as among voters overall, as polls have consistently shown throughout the 2024 campaign. Latino and Black Americans are the most likely to feel the pinch of high inflation compared to the overall population, according to a 2022 analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Latinos in California make up 40% of the state’s population but more than half of poor Californians, according to an analysis by the Public Policy Institute of California last year. The poverty rate among Latinos rose to 16.9% in fall 2023 compared to 13.5% in fall 2021, the analysis shows.
It’s a pain felt by Annissa Fragoso, a Merced insurance agent who voted for Harris this year. As a business owner, she said, she’s “struggling a lot with the insurance industry” and growing frustrated with state Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, a Democrat.
“The Latinos in the past were registered and supportive of the Democratic Party, but it has not been very supportive of us,”

she said.
Fragoso, who lost in the March primary for the Merced County Board of Supervisors, said she spoke to a lot of Latino voters who saw Trump as an agent of change on the economy.
“The bottom line is money,” she said.
Adrian Jurado, a painter in Los Banos who said he never registered to vote since he believed he couldn’t make a difference, said that ever since the pandemic, there were fewer painting jobs because people weren’t willing to spend anymore. But when Trump was in office, he said, the economy seemed better.
“I’ve never had it like this,” he said. “It used to be that you could put a little bit away. I wasn’t able to put nothing away.”
While consumer prices have climbed by 20% over the past four years, average wage gains actually outpaced inflation, according to an analysis by the NBC News. But that does not match people’s perception, as expenses keep rising, the analysis says. Many voters frustrated with the economy embraced Trump, even as economists warn that Trump’s proposed tariffs could hike prices even further nationwide as well as in California.
But voters may be punishing incumbents rather than voting for Republicans, said Rodrigo Dominguez-Villegas, research director at the Latino Policy & Politics Institute of UCLA.
“You get reminded of those high prices every single day because you are buying something every single day,” he said. “High inflation was a global phenomenon. It was not unique to the United States. But who happened to be in power when it happened? It was Biden and Harris.”
Julián Castro, CEO of the Latino Community Foundation, said Trump’s win resembles the victories of Ronald Reagan in 1980 and George W. Bush in 2000: All three campaigned against a Democratic administration that “faced headwinds,” he said.
“In 1980, the economy was similar to 2024, at least in people’s minds,” Castro said. “In 2000, after eight years of Democratic governance, there was a pent-up demand for a change.”
But even though they are frustrated at the economy under the Biden administration, most Latinos who spoke to CalMatters said it doesn’t mean they will continue to vote Republican.
“I’ll just see how it goes in the (next) four years,” Izaguirre said.
‘That’s not me’
Trump has promised to conduct the largest deportation in American history, targeting immigrants in the country illegally, with or without criminal records.
But Izaguirre, as well as other Latino Trump supporters who spoke to CalMatters, said they do not want undocumented immigrants who have been working in the country for years to be deported. The majority of them supported providing legal status for those immigrants — a policy Democrats have championed.
Trump’s victory has terrified some migrants at the border and undocumented immigrants in California.
“I feel worried because I don’t know what the future will be for us people who don’t have documents, and we work here,” an undocumented immigrant in Delano told CalMatters in Spanish. CalMatters is not naming him due to his concern for his safety.
But others said Trump’s mass deportation plan would not touch them.
“He said he was going to deport people who have a bad record. That’s not me. I don’t have a bad record,” said a farmworker in Stanislaus County who spoke to CalMatters on the condition of anonymity and who said she came to the country by paying off a “coyote” — a term for
smugglers — 20 years ago.
Huesgew Mendoza likened Trump’s mass deportation to yelling fire in the theater. “It just sounds too scary, too major,” she said.
And Aaron Barajas, 46, who voted for Trump this year in his first presidential election, slammed policies that would “rip people apart from their family,” arguing those who are already established in the United States should be allowed to obtain legal documents. But he distinguished between those who are already living here and those who wish to come in, arguing Trump merely wants to “bring people into our country, but do it the right way.”
It appears Trump’s rhetoric on immigration has not deterred Latinos from voting for him, unlike the assumption Democrats have made following the passage of Prop. 187, Suro said.
“The hypothesis was that, when confronted with threats to the immigrant population and xenophobic rhetoric and harsh exclusionary measures toward immigrants … you would alienate Latinos,” he said. “Trump has very vividly disproven that.”
That’s in part because of “scapegoating” by Trump and his allies, who targeted migrants “physically at the border” for mass deportation, Castro said. “They cleaved the recent arrivals from people who have been here for a long time, and that’s why I think you hear people express confidence that he doesn’t mean them.”
Another factor could be the rapidly changing demographics among Latinos in California, as more young, U.S.-born Latinos become eligible to vote, experts say.
“Overall, fewer Latinos are as close as they used to be to the immigrant experience,” said Mindy Romero, founder and director of the Center for Inclusive Democracy at USC. “How close you are to the immigrant experience can directly affect how you view policy on internal (immigration efforts) versus border (immigration).”
The anti-immigrant sentiment could even be appealing to some Latino voters who are “fueled by a deep desire to assimilate or to be seen as belonging to a larger American culture and to differentiate themselves from those who are seen as outsiders,” said Dominguez-Villegas at UCLA.
A referendum on Democrats?
While it’s too early to draw firm conclusions from the election, the takeaway for Democrats is that they must be better at reaching Latino voters, something both major parties have done poorly in California, political consultants say.
California Democrats are “clearly in danger of losing Latino support long term” due to “bad branding” that lasted for more than a decade, Madrid said.
But, he added, “there’s very little evidence that suggests Latinos are becoming more conservative. There’s a lot suggesting they are becoming more populist.”
Michael Gomez Daly, a senior strategist with the progressive California Donor Table, said he’s unsure how best to counter the backlash Democrats faced from voters hurt by inflation, stressing that voters may remember Trump with “rose-colored glasses.”
However, he said, Trump proved “inspiring” among Latino voters even with his “problematic” rhetoric. Living in the toss-up 41st Congressional District where GOP Rep. Ken Calvert narrowly defeated Democrat Will Rollins, Gomez Daly said he saw conservative YouTube ads targeting young men all the time.
“I think Democrats need to recognize the economic situation that much of inland California is facing and speak to those problems and give hope to people,” he said. “I think that was lacking.”

¿POR QUÉ MUCHOS VOTANTES LATINOS DE CALIFORNIA ELIGIERON A DONALD TRUMP?
En parte debido a preocupaciones económicas y de seguridad fronteriza, los latinos de California parecen haberse inclinado por Donald Trump, pero eso no significa necesariamente que estén abandonando el Partido Demócrata.
Yue Stella Yu CalMatters
MERCED
– En un principio, Marlyn Huesgew Mendoza se registró como demócrata. En 2020, volvió a registrarse como republicana y votó por Donald Trump para presidente, como lo hizo en esta elección.
La razón es sencilla: fue en 2018, cuando Trump estaba en el cargo, cuando su familia finalmente pudo comprar una casa en Merced. Ese mismo año, la administración Trump aprobó la solicitud de ciudadanía de su madre guatemalteca, que había sido rechazada durante el gobierno del presidente Barack Obama, dijo. La carta de aprobación tenía la firma de Trump.
“Ella dice: ‘Mira quién me adoptó’”, dijo Huesgew Mendoza, una graduada de 25 años de la Universidad de California Merced y asistente administrativa en la Cámara de Comercio Hispana del Condado de Merced.
“Una vez que llegó y fue tan fácil para nosotros, pensé: ‘Vaya, puede que no sea tan aterrador como la gente piensa’”.
La mayoría de los 12 condados de California con mayoría latina (si no todos) dieron una mayor proporción de su voto a Trump en comparación con 2020, y los condados con una mayor proporción de población latina se inclinaron más hacia Trump, según un análisis de CalMatters de los datos de votación estatales. Trump también amplió su participación en la mayoría de los demás condados de California.
Pero ¿eso indica un giro hacia la derecha entre los latinos y un alejamiento del Partido Demócrata en California?
La respuesta es complicada.
A falta de datos demográficos concluyentes sobre los votos emitidos en esta elección, los encuestadores no están de acuerdo sobre en qué medida sus encuestas muestran que los latinos se inclinan por Trump. AP VoteCast, que encuestó a más de 120,000 votantes de todo el país en inglés y español, muestra que el 55% de los encuestados latinos apoyaron a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, mientras que el 43% respaldó a Trump. En 2020, Joe Biden ganó el 63% de los votos entre los encuestados latinos frente al 35% de Trump.
Pero casi todas las encuestas llegaron a la misma conclusión: el apoyo latino a Trump ha crecido.
Una combinación de factores contribuyó al aparente cambio: la inflación atribuida a una administración impopular, la preocupación por la seguridad fronteriza, la resistencia a los mensajes de los demócratas sobre cuestiones culturales y la falta de atractivo de Harris, según encuestadores, expertos, consultores políticos y una docena de latinos en el Valle Central que hablaron con CalMatters.
Todavía queda por ver cuánto ganaron otros republicanos con el creciente apoyo a Trump. A nivel nacional, los demócratas ganaron cuatro de los cinco escaños disputados en el Senado de Estados Unidos y declararon su victoria en las propuestas de ley sobre el derecho al aborto en Arizona, Missouri y Nevada.
En California, con el 88% de los votos estimados contados, Trump ha recibido ligeramente menos votos que el candidato republicano al Senado de Estados Unidos, Steve Garvey. Y en algunos condados dentro de los distritos electorales indecisos del estado, los candidatos demócratas parecen estar superando a Harris. En el condado de Merced, que cae completamente en el Distrito Congresional 13, el demócrata Adam Gray ha recibido 5 puntos porcentuales más de los votos que Harris, con casi el 80% de los votos contados.
Para Gray, que está muy cerca del representante republicano John Duarte, esta elección no refleja una tendencia de los votantes a inclinarse por los
republicanos.
“Lo que ustedes llaman un giro hacia la derecha, yo lo llamaría un rechazo a más de lo mismo. Los votantes están diciendo… ‘Queremos que ustedes cambien’”, dijo a CalMatters. “Creo que la gente quiere que volvamos a lo básico, y si soy elegido para el Congreso, voy a hacer justamente eso”.
Pero Mike Madrid, un consultor republicano de larga trayectoria y experto en política latina, calificó esta elección como un “incendio de cinco alarmas” para los demócratas, quienes, según él, han perdido gradualmente el apoyo entre los votantes latinos desde 2012. Señaló un par de encuestas del Pew Research Center, que sugirieron que el apoyo latino al candidato presidencial demócrata cayó del 71% para Obama en 2012 al 59% para Biden en el 2020.
En California, la mayoría de los latinos han apoyado firmemente a los demócratas después de que el ex gobernador republicano Pete Wilson defendiera la Proposición 187, que fue aprobada por los votantes en 1994 para negar beneficios a los inmigrantes indocumentados, pero que fue bloqueada por los tribunales. Pero ese apoyo podría erosionarse a medida que aumenta el costo de la vida, lo que aliena a los residentes de la clase trabajadora, muchos de los cuales son latinos, dijo Madrid.
“Creo que este es un momento crucial. Creo que es tan significativo como el momento de la Propuesta 187 en 1994, excepto que fue una llamada de atención para los republicanos”, dijo Madrid. Pero algunos expertos advirtieron que puede ser demasiado pronto para decir si las últimas tres elecciones presidenciales son un referéndum sobre el Partido Demócrata, dado que los demócratas han ganado carreras estatales en estados indecisos y han ganado todas las carreras estatales en California desde 2006.
Esta elección es un caso atípico, ya que Biden se retiró de la carrera y le pasó la antorcha a Harris tan tarde en la campaña, dijo Roberto Suro, profesor de periodismo y políticas públicas en la Universidad del Sur de California.
“Hay que ponerle un asterisco a esta elección, o más bien, varios asteriscos. Trump como candidato es un asterisco gigante”, dijo Suro. “Intentar decir que estamos viendo algún tipo de realineamiento permanente es un error”.
“Lo importante es el dinero”
Huesgew Mendoza no es la única que cree que su vida cambió para mejor después de que Trump asumió el cargo en 2017.
Sandra Izaguirre, una cuidadora a domicilio de 34 años de Lancaster, en el condado de Los Ángeles, dijo que apoyó a Obama en 2008, pero no en 2012. En ese entonces, Izaguirre, madre primeriza y trabajadora en un restaurante de comida rápida, necesitaba atención médica. Obamacare exigía que las empresas más grandes brindaran beneficios médicos a sus empleados a tiempo completo o pagaran una tarifa, por lo que Izaguirre dijo que su empleador simplemente le redujo las horas para descalificarla.
“No estaba mejorando. En todo caso, me dolía más”, dijo. “Sólo quería un cambio ya”.
Eso la llevó a votar por Trump en 2016. Un año después, dijo Izaguirre, pudo comprar su primera casa.
Pero como no pudo trabajar como cuidadora a domicilio durante la pandemia de COVID-19, dijo que casi dejó de pagar su casa, pero que se salvó gracias a un programa federal de alivio hipotecario aprobado durante el mandato de Trump. La crisis económica, combinada con el fracaso del estado para detener el fraude en los beneficios por desempleo , fue “una receta para el desastre”, dijo.
Sin embargo, ni siquiera las preocupaciones económicas fueron suficientes para llevar a Izaguirre a las urnas en noviembre. Pero eso
no se debió a que no apoyara a Trump: dijo que su voto por él en California, un estado profundamente demócrata, no habría hecho ninguna diferencia de todos modos.
Pero la economía es una prioridad entre los votantes latinos, así como entre los votantes en general, como lo han demostrado consistentemente las encuestas a lo largo de la campaña de 2024. Los estadounidenses latinos y negros son los más propensos a sentir el impacto de la alta inflación en comparación con la población en general, según un análisis de 2022 del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York.
Los latinos en California representan el 40% de la población del estado, pero más de la mitad de los californianos pobres, según un análisis del Instituto de Políticas Públicas de California del año pasado. La tasa de pobreza entre los latinos aumentó al 16,9% en el otoño de 2023 en comparación con el 13.5% en el otoño de 2021, muestra el análisis.
Es un dolor que siente Annissa Fragoso, una agente de seguros de Merced que votó por Harris este año. Como propietaria de un negocio, dijo, está “luchando mucho con la industria de seguros” y cada vez está más frustrada con el Comisionado de Seguros del estado, el demócrata Ricardo Lara.
“Los latinos en el pasado estaban registrados y apoyaban al Partido Demócrata, pero éste no nos ha apoyado mucho”, dijo.
Fragoso, quien perdió las primarias de marzo para la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Merced, dijo que habló con muchos votantes latinos que vieron a Trump como un agente de cambio en la economía.
“Lo importante es el dinero”, dijo.
Adrian Jurado, un pintor de Los Banos que dijo que nunca se registró para votar porque creía que no podía hacer una diferencia, dijo que desde la pandemia, hubo menos trabajos de pintura porque la gente no estaba dispuesta a gastar más. Pero cuando Trump estaba en el cargo, dijo, la economía parecía mejor.
“Nunca me había pasado esto”, dijo. “Antes podía ahorrar un poco, pero yo no podía ahorrar nada”. Según un análisis de NBC News, si bien los precios al consumidor han aumentado un 20% en los últimos cuatro años, los aumentos salariales promedio en realidad superaron la inflación. Pero eso no coincide con la percepción de la gente, ya que los gastos siguen aumentando, dice el análisis. Muchos votantes frustrados con la economía apoyaron a Trump, incluso cuando los economistas advierten que los aranceles propuestos por Trump podrían aumentar los precios aún más en todo el país y en California.
Pero los votantes pueden estar castigando a los titulares en lugar de votar por los republicanos, dijo Rodrigo Domínguez-Villegas, director de investigación del Instituto de Política y Política Latina de la UCLA.
“Todos los días te acuerdas de esos precios altos porque compras algo todos los días”, dijo. “La alta inflación fue un fenómeno global. No fue algo exclusivo de Estados Unidos. Pero, ¿quién estaba en el poder cuando ocurrió? Eran Biden y Harris”.
Julián Castro, director ejecutivo de la Fundación Comunitaria Latina, dijo que la victoria de Trump se asemeja a las victorias de Ronald Reagan en 1980 y George W. Bush en 2000: los tres hicieron campaña contra una administración demócrata que “enfrentaba vientos en contra”, dijo.
“En 1980, la economía era similar a la de 2024, al menos en la mente de la gente”, dijo Castro. “En 2000, después de ocho años de gobierno demócrata, había una demanda reprimida de un cambio”.
Pero aunque están frustrados por la economía bajo la administración de Biden, la mayoría de los latinos que hablaron con CalMatters dijeron que eso no significa que seguirán votando a los republicanos.
“Veré cómo va en los (próximos) cuatro años”, dijo Izaguirre.
‘Ese no soy yo’
Trump ha prometido llevar a cabo la mayor deportación en la historia de Estados Unidos, dirigida a inmigrantes que se encuentran en el país ilegal-
mente, con o sin antecedentes penales.
Pero Izaguirre, así como otros latinos partidarios de Trump que hablaron con CalMatters, dijeron que no quieren que los inmigrantes indocumentados que han estado trabajando en el país durante años sean deportados. La mayoría de ellos apoyan la legalización de esos inmigrantes, una política que los demócratas han defendido.
La victoria de Trump ha aterrorizado a algunos migrantes al borde y a los inmigrantes indocumentados en California.
“Me siento preocupado porque no sé cuál será el futuro para nosotros, la gente que no tiene documentos y trabajamos aquí”, dijo a CalMatters en español un inmigrante indocumentado en Delano.
CalMatters no lo nombra debido a que le preocupa su seguridad.
Pero otros dijeron que el plan de deportación masiva de Trump no los afectaría.
“Dijo que iba a deportar a las personas que tienen malos antecedentes. Yo no soy así. Yo no tengo malos antecedentes”, dijo una trabajadora agrícola del condado de Stanislaus que habló con CalMatters bajo condición de anonimato y que dijo que llegó al país pagando a un “coyote” (un término para referirse a los contrabandistas) hace 20 años.
Huesgew Mendoza comparó la deportación masiva de Trump con gritar “¡fuego!” en un teatro. “Suena demasiado aterrador, demasiado importante”, dijo.

Y Aaron Barajas, de 46 años, que votó por Trump este año en su primera elección presidencial, criticó las políticas que “separarían a las personas de sus familias”, argumentando que a quienes ya están establecidos en Estados Unidos se les debería permitir obtener documentos legales. Pero distinguió entre quienes ya viven aquí y quienes desean venir, argumentando que Trump solo quiere “traer gente a nuestro país, pero hacerlo de la manera correcta”.
Parece que la retórica de Trump sobre la inmigración no ha disuadido a los latinos de votar por él, a diferencia de lo que supusieron los demócratas tras la aprobación de la Propuesta 187, dijo Suro. “La hipótesis era que, ante amenazas a la población inmigrante y retórica xenófoba y duras medidas de exclusión hacia los inmigrantes… se alienaría a los latinos”, dijo. “Trump ha refutado eso de manera muy vívida”.
En parte, esto se debe a que Trump y sus aliados han buscado “chivos expiatorios” y han elegido a los migrantes “físicamente en la frontera” para deportarlos en masa, dijo Castro. “Separaron a los recién llegados de las personas que llevan aquí mucho tiempo, y por eso creo que se escucha a la gente expresar confianza en que él no se refiere a ellos”.
Otro factor podría ser el rápido cambio demográfico entre los latinos en California, a medida que más latinos jóvenes nacidos en Estados Unidos se vuelven elegibles para votar, dicen los expertos. “En general, cada vez menos latinos están tan cerca de la experiencia de los inmigrantes como antes”, dijo Mindy Romero, fundadora y directora del Centro para la Democracia Inclusiva. “El grado de cercanía que tengamos con la experiencia de los inmigrantes puede afectar directamente la forma en que consideramos las políticas sobre inmigración interna en comparación con las políticas sobre inmigración fronteriza”.
El sentimiento antiinmigrante podría incluso resultar atractivo para algunos votantes latinos que están “impulsados por un profundo deseo de asimilarse o de ser vistos como pertenecientes a una cultura estadounidense más amplia y de diferenciarse de aquellos que son vistos como forasteros”, dijo Domínguez-Villegas de la UCLA.
¿Un referéndum sobre los demócratas?
Si bien es demasiado pronto para sacar conclusiones firmes de las elecciones, la moraleja para los demócratas es que deben mejorar su capacidad para llegar a los votantes latinos, algo que ambos partidos principales han hecho mal en California, dicen los consultores políticos.
Los demócratas de California están “claramente en peligro de perder el apoyo latino a largo plazo” debido a una “mala imagen de marca” que duró más de una década, dijo Madrid.
Pero, añadió, “hay muy poca evidencia que sugiera que los latinos se están volviendo más conservadores. Hay mucha evidencia que sugiere que se están volviendo más populistas”.

Michael Gomez Daly, estratega senior de la progresista California Donor Table, dijo que no está seguro de cuál es la mejor manera de contrarrestar la reacción que enfrentaron los demócratas por parte de los votantes afectados por la inflación, y enfatizó que los votantes pueden recordar a Trump con “lentes color de rosa”.
Sin embargo, dijo, Trump resultó ser “inspirador” entre los votantes latinos, incluso con su retórica “problemática”. Gómez Daly, que vive en el indeciso distrito 41 del Congreso, donde el representante republicano Ken Calvert derrotó por un estrecho margen al demócrata Will Rollins, dijo que veía anuncios conservadores en YouTube dirigidos a hombres jóvenes todo el tiempo.
“Creo que los demócratas deben reconocer la situación económica que enfrenta gran parte del interior de California y abordar esos problemas y dar esperanza a la gente”, dijo. “Creo que eso fue lo que faltó”.

WHAT TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION PLANS MEAN FOR THE U.S.
Selen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to launch the largest deportation program in U.S. history.
This was estimated by Vice President-elect JD Vance to involve one million removals yearly.
Can the U.S. afford these policies? What do these crackdowns mean for undocumented and legal immigrants? Mass deportation
Based on Census data surveys, there are an estimated 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. as of July 2023 — about 3.5% of the total population, and up 800,000 from the previous July.
The all-time peak is 12 million immigrants, reached in 2008.
The highest year of deportations from the U.S. interior is 238,000 immigrants, reached in 2009.
“Currently, most people we deport are already in detention. The government just picks them up … and figures out whether they’re allowed to be here and how to get them back, and if the country will take them back,” said Jeremy Robbins, executive director of the American Immigration Council, at a Friday, November 15 Ethnic Media Services briefing on Trump’s promised immigration policies.
“With mass deportations, however, we’re talking about finding people in their communities,” he continued. “The two branches of the Department of Homeland Security that specifically do that do not have the capacity. It’s extremely expensive … Nor do we have the detention capacity. You’d need a whole new set of asylum facilities and judges before even getting people home.”
Deporting all undocumented immigrants, which represent about 4.8% of the U.S. workforce as of 2022, would cost about $315 billion and have between a 4.2% and 6.8% negative impact on GDP, by conservative estimates.
By comparison, the national GDP fell 4.3% during the Great Recession, from 2007 to 2009.
“For most things Congress will fund, they’ll need 60 votes. Budget reconciliation needs 50. It’s far from clear they can fund these measures … but they can repurpose money from elsewhere,” said Robbins. “It’s possible to use forms like the military, but our resources are already strained.”
The existing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget — $107.9 billion for fiscal year 2025 — exceeds all other federal law enforcement budgets combined.
The current daily detention capacity is estimated around 50,000.
Congress has provided approximately $3.4 billion to detain a daily average of 41,500 noncitizens in 2024, of which 60.1% have no criminal record.
For comparison, funds in 2023 were $2.9 billion to detain an average of 34,000 noncitizens daily.
Along with difficulties getting bipartisan Congressional support, “Biden has already maximally deployed existing resources for enforcement,” said Greg Chen, senior director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association.“They don’t have the resources to do much more … and contracting with private facilities, or training state and national guards, will mean more expensive delays.”
DHS data from 2023 shows that, in absolute terms, 3.5 times as many people were removed under Biden than under Trump.
Of the 1.4 million arrests made in the 24 months of 2019 and 2020 under Trump, 47% were removed from the U.S.
In the first 26.3 months under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests, of which 51% were removed.
Legal immigration
“Trump has been talking so much about mass deportations that we rarely hear about impacts on the legal immigration system, meaning the hundreds of thousands of employment visas, family visas and humanitarian visas coming through every year,” said Chen.
Annual new legal permanent residents fell under Trump from 1,183,500 in 2016 to 707,400 in 2020, according to DHS data; the numbers have shot back up since then to 1,173,000 in 2023.
“During the first Trump administration, we saw retrogression — meaning it took much longer to process these cases,” Chen continued. “For an employment or family
LO QUE SIGNIFICAN LOS PLANES MIGRATORIOS DE TRUMP
El impacto de las medidas represivas contra la inmigración propuestas por Trump podría dañar la diplomacia y las relaciones internacionales, las comunidades locales y los intentos de prohibir ciertas categorías de inmigrantes, utilizando criterios ilegales como la raza o la religión.
visa that might typically take three to six months, we saw those times typically double.”
He added that these backlogs are often created by understaffing departments and by Requests for Evidence, which are “ways of asking for more information on a case to ferret out fraud. But if used unnecessarily, it simply becomes red tape … and if immigration is unavailable to people who are trying to come here through legal means, we’ll be seeing greater amounts of illegal migration.”
Currently, immigrants arriving at official crossing points on the border can make an appointment through the CBP One app and wait months to be processed into the U.S. with temporary humanitarian parole.
“People who try to enter between those points have a very hard time qualifying to begin the process towards asylum,” said Julia Gelatt, associate director of the Migration Policy Institute’s U.S. immigration policy program.
“Under Trump, we can expect that the CPB One process at ports of entry will end, meaning that it will be very difficult for people coming to the border to access legal asylum proceedings,” she continued.
“Instead, we’ll likely see what we’ve seen before: people paying smugglers to sneak them into the United States, rather than to the border, where many people now present themselves to border authorities to ask for protection,” she added.
Trump has also suggested that he’ll scale back the use of Temporary Status — which covers over one million immigrants, mostly Venezuelan, Haitian and Salvadoran — and eliminate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), on which about 580,000 immigrants rely.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that the president can terminate DACA, a policy which gives some people who came to the U.S. illegally as children the right to study and work in the country.
“Most employers want to hire a legal workforce. If their workers lose authorizations like DACA and TPS, they’ll have to let them go,” said Gelatt. “We’re an aging country … and when we lose immigrant workers, it doesn’t necessarily create jobs for U.S. workers. If an employer loses the immigrant workers they rely on, they might contract out their operation or close up shop altogether. Immigrants and US workers are compliments in the labor force.”
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that the unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers in 2023 was 3.6%, the lowest on record.
That year, the share of employed prime-age (25 to 54) U.S.-born workers was 81.4%, the highest rate since 2001.
While mass crackdowns on these immigrants “will take more resources than the new administration will have, resulting in economic devastation across the country, they’re still counting on instilling fear in communities,” added Chen. “We have people with legal status calling our attorneys because they’re afraid that they’ll be rounded up because they’ll be profiled. Those are legitimate concerns in this new environment.”
“What does it look like when that intimidation campaign is working? It looks like kids not going to school because their parents fear being deported, shortages of health care workers because people move to safer states or are removed from the country, like shortages of teachers here on TPS and DACA,” said Elizabeth Taufa, policy attorney at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
“Even if they can’t afford to enforce these policies, they’re unraveling the threads of our American communities,” she added.
Selen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services
Epresidente electo Donald Trump ha prometido lanzar el mayor programa de deportación en la historia de Estados Unidos.
El vicepresidente electo, JD Vance, estimó que esto implicaría un millón de deportaciones al año.
¿Pueden los EE.UU. permitirse estas políticas? ¿Qué significan estas medidas represivas para los inmigrantes legales e indocumentados
Mass deportation
Según las encuestas de datos del censo, se estima que hay 11,7 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en los EE. UU. en julio de 2023, alrededor del 3,5% de la población total, y 800.000 más que en julio anterior.
El pico histórico es de 12 millones de inmigrantes, alcanzado en 2008.
El año con mayor número de deportaciones desde EE.UU. interior es de 238.000 inmigrantes, alcanzado en 2009.
“Actualmente, la mayoría de las personas que deportamos ya están detenidas. "El gobierno simplemente los recoge... y determina si se les permite estar aquí y cómo traerlos de regreso, y si el país los aceptará", dijo Jeremy Robbins, director ejecutivo del Consejo Estadounidense de Inmigración, en una reunión. Viernes, 15 de noviembre Reunión informativa de Ethnic Media Services sobre las políticas de inmigración prometidas por Trump.
"Sin embargo, con las deportaciones masivas, estamos hablando de encontrar personas en sus comunidades", continuó. “Las dos ramas del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional que específicamente no tienen la capacidad. Es extremadamente caro… Tampoco tenemos la capacidad de detención. Se necesitaría un conjunto completamente nuevo de instalaciones de asilo y jueces antes incluso de llevar a la gente a casa”.
Deportar a todos los inmigrantes indocumentados, que representan alrededor del 4,8% de los EE.UU. La fuerza laboral a partir de 2022 costaría alrededor de 315 mil millones de dólares y tendría un impacto negativo de entre 4,2% y 6,8% en el PIB, según estimaciones conservadoras.
En comparación, el PIB nacional cayó un 4,3% durante la Gran Recesión, de 2007 a 2009.
“Para la mayoría de las cosas que el Congreso financiará, necesitarán 60 votos. La conciliación presupuestaria necesita 50. No está nada claro que puedan financiar estas medidas... pero pueden reutilizar dinero de otros lugares”, dijo Robbins. "Es posible utilizar formas como el ejército, pero nuestros recursos ya están bajo presión".
El presupuesto actual del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) (107,9 mil millones de dólares para el año fiscal 2025) excede todos los demás presupuestos federales para el cumplimiento de la ley combinados.
La capacidad actual de detención diaria se estima en unas 50.000 personas.
El Congreso ha proporcionado aproximadamente
3.400 millones de dólares para detener a un promedio diario de 41.500 no ciudadanos en 2024, de los cuales el 60,1% no tiene antecedentes penales.
A modo de comparación, los fondos en 2023 fueron de 2.900 millones de dólares para detener a un promedio de 34.000 no ciudadanos diariamente.
Además de las dificultades para obtener el apoyo bipartidista del Congreso, “Biden ya ha utilizado al máximo los recursos existentes para hacer cumplir la ley”, dijo Greg Chen, director senior de relaciones gubernamentales de la Asociación Estadounidense de Abogados de Inmigración. “No tienen los recursos para hacer mucho más… y contratar instalaciones privadas o capacitar a guardias estatales y nacionales significará demoras más costosas”.
Los datos del DHS de 2023 muestran que, en términos absolutos, 3,5 veces más personas fueron deportadas bajo Biden que bajo Trump.
De los 1,4 millones de arrestos realizados en los 24 meses de 2019 y 2020 bajo Trump, el 47% fueron expulsados de Estados Unidos.
En los primeros 26,3 meses de Biden, el DHS realizó más de 5 millones de arrestos, de los cuales el 51% fueron eliminados.
Inmigración Legal
“Trump ha estado hablando tanto de deportaciones masivas que rara vez escuchamos sobre los impactos en el sistema de inmigración legal, es decir, los cientos de miles de visas de trabajo, visas familiares y visas humanitarias que llegan cada año”, dijo Chen.
Los nuevos residentes permanentes legales anuales cayeron bajo Trump de 1.183.500 en 2016 a 707.400 en 2020, según datos del DHS; las cifras se han disparado desde entonces hasta 1.173.000 en 2023.
“Durante la primera administración Trump, vimos un retroceso, lo que significa que tomó mucho más tiempo procesar estos casos”, continuó Chen. “Para una visa de trabajo o familiar que normalmente demora de tres a seis meses, vimos que esos tiempos generalmente se duplicaban”.
Añadió que estos retrasos a menudo se deben a la falta de personal de los departamentos y a las solicitudes de pruebas, que son “formas de solicitar más información sobre un caso para descubrir fraude. Pero si se usa innecesariamente, simplemente se convierte en burocracia... y si la inmigración no está disponible para las personas que intentan venir aquí por medios legales, veremos mayores cantidades de migración ilegal”.
Actualmente, los inmigrantes que llegan a los puntos de cruce oficiales en la frontera pueden programar una cita a través de la aplicación CBP One y esperar meses para ser procesados en los EE. UU. con lema humanitario temporal.
"Las personas que intentan ingresar entre esos puntos tienen muchas dificultades para calificar para comenzar el proceso de asilo", dijo Julia Gelatt, directora asociada del Instituto de Política Migratoria de EE.UU. programa de política migratoria. “Bajo Trump, podemos esperar que el proceso CPB One en los puertos de entrada termine, lo que significa que será muy difícil para las personas que llegan a la frontera acceder a procedimientos de asilo legal”, continuó.

“En lugar de eso, probablemente veremos lo que hemos visto antes: gente que paga a contrabandistas para que los introduzcan a escondidas en Estados Unidos, en lugar de ir a la frontera, donde muchas personas ahora se presentan ante las autoridades fronterizas para pedir protección”, añadió.
Trump también ha sugerido que reducirá el uso del Estatus Temporal –que cubre a más de un millón de inmigrantes, en su mayoría venezolanos, haitianos y salvadoreños– y eliminará la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA), de la que dependen unos 580.000 inmigrantes.
La Corte Suprema dictaminó en 2020 que el presidente puede rescindir DACA, una política que otorga a algunas personas que llegaron a EE. UU. ilegalmente siendo niños el derecho a estudiar y trabajar en el país. “La mayoría de los empleadores quieren contratar
mano de obra legal. Si sus trabajadores pierden autorizaciones como DACA y TPS, tendrán que despedirlos”, dijo Gelatt. “Somos un país que envejece... y cuando perdemos trabajadores inmigrantes, no necesariamente crea empleos para los estadounidenses. trabajadores. Si un empleador pierde a los trabajadores inmigrantes de los que depende, podría subcontratar sus operaciones o cerrar la empresa por completo. Los inmigrantes y los trabajadores estadounidenses son elogios en la fuerza laboral”.
Los datos de la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales muestran que la tasa de desempleo de los trabajadores nacidos en Estados Unidos en 2023 fue del 3,6%, la más baja registrada.
Ese año, la proporción de trabajadores nacidos en Estados Unidos en edad productiva (de 25 a 54 años) fue del 81,4%, la tasa más alta desde 2001.

Si bien las medidas enérgicas masivas contra estos inmigrantes “requerirán más recursos de los que tendrá la nueva administración, lo que resultará en una devastación económica en todo el país, todavía cuentan con infundir miedo en las comunidades”, añadió Chen. “Tenemos personas con estatus legal que llaman a nuestros abogados porque temen que los arresten porque los perfilarán.

ABOUT JOSÉ HERNÁNDEZ AND MARIACHI SOL DE MÉXICO – MARIACHI AMBASSADORS
José is a master of mariachi music. He is a Grammy Award-winning world-renowned musician, composer and mu-
sic educator. He is founder of the worldfamous Mariachi Sol de México and America’s first all-female professional mariachi ensemble Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles. José also directs the mariachi ensemble that plays at L.A. Rams football games.
José’s family hails from the town of Miraflores, Jalisco. He is a seven-generation mariachi whose family has played music professionally since the 1700s when Mexico was New Spain. Arguably, the longest surviving family that continues to play mariachi music. José’s daughter Crystal is following the family tradition, joining her father’s ensemble Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles.
José and his Mariachi Sol de México received their latest Latin Grammy nomination in 2024 for their album Romances Eternos (Eternal Romances), a collection of romantic classics.. José counts with 9 Latin Grammy Nominations and the ensemble has 8. In addition, José’s symphonic arrangements and orchestrations have led his mariachi to share the stage with Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and Jalisco Symphony. He recently traveled to The Czech Republic where the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra debuted his composition “Rapsodia para un mariachi,” and most recently, he composed his “Jarabe Sinfónico No. 1 para orquesta.” José and his Mariachi Sol de México have played sold out concerts from Madison Square Garden to Beijing, China and Pyongyang, North Korea. They have been invited to play for five U.S. Presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama.
The versatility of Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández led to amazing collaborations with legacy artists such as The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Selena, Linda Ronstadt, Juan Gabriel, Jose Feliciano, Vicente Fernández and a record-breaking
tour with superstar Luis Miguel. The ensemble has also provided music for the soundtracks for such films as Old Gringo, American Me, Rango, Glory Road, Sea Biscuit, Don Juan de Marco, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and many more.
José’s passion is to bring mariachi music to audiences around the world. In addition to leading two mariachi ensembles, he works tirelessly to inspire and empower the next generation of musicians. José helped to create mariachi music programs in schools in 37 states and his Mariachi Academy curriculum is taught in 22 schools throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties in Southern California. José also founded The José Hernández' Mariachi Nationals and Summer Institute, a mariachi music Summer intensive and competition which brings together some of the country’s top student mariachi ensem-
bles and the Mariachi Heritage Society, which teaches mariachi music and folk dancing to new generations. José is also the Musical Director of several prestigious mariachi festivals. In 2021, José received the Cesar Chavez Legacy of Service Award, recognized for his work elevating the perception of mariachi music throughout the world and inspiring future generations of mariachi students via educational scholarships, gifting instruments and via his Mariachi Heritage Society.
José’s musical inspirations are rich and diverse, ranging from Agustín Lara to José Alfredo Jiménez. One of José’s proudest achievements is establishing the Sol de México® symphony orchestra, bringing this powerful and vibrant sound to mariachi lovers around the world.

A BAYOU SPLASH:
TIANA’S BAYOU ADVENTURE REIMAGINES A PORTION OF DISNEYLAND PARK INTO ONE OF JAZZ, RENOVATION AND A NEW ORLEANS MELTING POT
As Bayou Country opens and its signature ride takes on new life and meaning, we hear from the past and present on how it came to be a love letter to the region and The Princess and the Frog
Althoughit can be seen as simply a theme park, Disneyland could also be likened or compared to the evolution of American society and social progress. It is everchanging and evolving.
Take for instance this quote from Walt Disney himself from a 1956 interview:
"I wanted something live, something that could grow, something I could keep plussing with ideas, you see? The park is that. Not only can I add things but even the trees will keep growing; the thing will get more beautiful every year. And as I find what the public likes— and when a picture's finished and I put it out—I find out what they like, or they don't like, and I have to apply that to some other thing; I can't change that picture, so that's why I wanted that park."
Walt Disney always wanted his theme park, located in what was once orange groves as far as the eyes could see, a magical place that transported guests from the present time to various lands of wonder and fascination.
One other quote distills his vision and the ethos of the Disney company more than anything:
“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”
With the renovation of one of its most popular rides, Splash Mountain, Disneyland again proves that ethos that its founder preached about since the parks inception, always moving forward, to always add and innovate the park.
Opened on November 15,
2024, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the surrounding retheming of what was once Critter County, and before that Bear Country, is now a slice of the Southern Bayou, brimming with lush vegetation, Jazz music and the lively notes of Louisiana culture. It makes a lot of sense to turn the area from a non-specific whimsical woods setting into a continuation of the Southern charm that you see as you walk from either Frontierland or Adventureland and enter New Orleans Square, which already has the French Quarter vibe from its namesake. Across from this is the Rivers of America, a tribute to what was once the frontier for Americans traversing through the West.
Now, as you move on from New Orleans Square and into the dilapidated but beautiful architecture of The Haunted Mansion you will enter Bayou Country, where critters once roamed are more critters, but these are specific to the film
As detailed as a hand drawn animated film must be to capture the audience, so must a land that is based on that film do so in real life to capture the senses of people walking through it. The scale, the aesthetics, the scents, the flavors, they should all work together to effectively transport guests into another time and another world.
As Bayou Country proves, the idea of ‘Disneyland magic’ exists and continues Walt’s legacy because of the very real dedication of its engineers, artists, culinary experts and historians.
By renovating into the picturesque qualities of the Bayou and exploring the AfricanAmerican experience, along with the many other cultures that have lent their hand in cre-
Not only [do] the characters created represent the diversity of the flora and the fauna of the bayou, but the sounds are so diverse and they had diverse origins and so we wanted to find ways to kind of introduce that to people, not in the history lesson, but in a way that made it fun, you know. And maybe makes people curious.

ating the identity of New Orleans, they have created a time and place that is full of joy and has given a voice to the region and the people.
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
Splash Mountain opened up in 1989 to fanfare and excitement, and later opened versions in Tokyo Disneyland and Orlando’s Magic Kingdom in 1992. Ever since it has continued to deliver excitement to millions who have come to the parks and braved the log flume ride until it’s final descent, into prickly thorn bush (which was perfectly safe, it was just perspective that made it seem to be what the riders ran into at the bottom of the drop) and the opportunity to become soaked with this final splash.
For years, it was known that the ride was, like many rides at Disneyland properties now, based on a film or Disney IP, such as many of the rides in Fantasyland like Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, or more recent entire lands like Cars Land or Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
With Splash Mountain, the theme of the ride was based on the 1946 Disney film Song of the South. The film follows
for Walt Disney
Johnny, a boy who goes to his grandmother’s plantation in Reconstruction Era Georgia and befriends Uncle Remus, a storyteller based on a character created in 1881 as a narrator of traditional AfricanAmerican folktales. The stories Uncle Remus tells are shown in animated segments and follow the adventures of Br'er Rabbit.
It should be said though that controversy has followed the film since its production and subsequent release. Although Splash Mountain is based only on the animated segments, the film has been criticized for decades for its racist portrayals of African-Americans.
This is why there has never been American releases of the film on any video format, and cannot be found on any streaming service. When Splash Mountain was being designed, Uncle Remus was not included, although much has been written about the tropes of the animated characters who make up the narrative of the ride, who have been seen as characteristics of a minstrel show, the 19th century stage entertainment meant to parody Black culture in that time.
Imagineering
Birth of the Bayou
With the uncomfortable legacy of the film attached to the ride, it was only a matter of time before Disney made the decision to retheme the ride to one of its more appropriate and modern day creations.
Their 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog fit like a glove, with its entertaining story, positive portrayals of African-American culture, the first every African-American princess, the second American Disney Princess after Pocahontas, and it’s lively vision of the Southern Bayou regions of the United States. It celebrates a slice of America that is very diverse and is best seen in its cooking and music.
Its cooking, like the literal melting pot of Gumbo and its Indigenous, African-American, African, and French cooking origins. And in its music, The Princess and the Frog has an incredible Jazz-centric score. All of these elements, coming together from Black, Indigenous, Spanish and French inspirations to name a few, come together to weave the sights, sounds and traditions that are still practiced in the region.
With that in mind, the task of transforming Critter County into a land based on The Princess and the Frog and a ride that channeled the world of the film came down to the staff at Disney and the Imagineers who turned the blueprints into real life.
A Melting Pot of History
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has made the park better by its addition, and made the ride so much more than it was before with its narrative, songs, aesthetics and effects. From the artistic details and history that came together to the Imagineers that worked on constructing and revamping Splash Mountain, it is a labor of love for the employees and designers who worked bringing a new soul to the ride that far outpaces its original narrative.

Executive Creative Director for Walt Disney Imagineering, is one of the Imagineers who oversaw the work on the land and the ride, and he told a story of discovery and how it connected him to the ride because of his Filipino heritage.
When first migrating from the Philippines, Robledo’s family were struck by the big new intimidating place.
One thing he did was research with his family and show his mother that Filipinos had been in the region far earlier than they had assumed, that they had connections to this land they could be proud of.
“We learn from doing our research from New Orleans, turns out the first Filipinos came north from South America and settled here in Louisiana, when it was a Spanish colony, predating the United States because they were part of working ships for the Spanish Empire, and they got off there in Louisiana.”
“I thought, you know what that memory that I have about my mom being so excited about [learning] that, there would have been folks like us here in that time, so there's one guest in the party who's dancing, who's in that traditional Filipino dress. She's having a great time.”
These details that connect to the Imagineers and those working on the ride can be traced by history and that amount of realism is on display in the magical world of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Even Latinos can trace Louisiana traditions back to their ancestors. Robledo was keen on talking about how the traditions of the brass bands iconic to New Orleans and used in various musical styles there came from Mexico.
“We came to learn that a lot of the tradition of the brass bands came from a military ban from Mexico and that person who was part of that military band ended up settling in New Orleans and was sort of the introduction of these brass instruments, which then became incorporated there into what we think about jazz and all the different styles of music from Orleans.”
“But in all of that learning you realize it's not just French-speaking, it's not just African American, it's not just, you know, European colonists, it's not just you know, Latinos from Mexico or Cuba, we started to really realize that wow, this is an amazing melting pot. I have to imagine it's probably the first melting pot in the United States, and even the music of New Orleans has that Spanish influence in rhythm.”
An original song created for the ride written by composer PJ Morton, “Special Spice,” and recorded by Anika Noni Rose, the voice of Tiana from the film, has the elements of big band, jazz and contemporary music. It transmits the big, celebratory melting pot nature of the city and region and is coursing within the ride.
Robledo adds, “And that's why in the ride we have these different styles of music, because not only [do] the characters created represent the diversity of the flora and the fauna of the bayou, but the sounds are so diverse and they had diverse origins and so we wanted to find ways to kind of introduce that to people, not in the history lesson, but in a way that made it fun, you know. And maybe makes people curious.”
In fact, speaking of history, Leah Chase was a famous American chef from Louisiana who started off as a waitress in the French Quarter and worked her way up with her husband to start an iconic restaurant called Dooky Chase, which showcased her Creole family recipes. It also was a beacon during the civil rights movement, where it hosted voter registration and political meetings between Civil Rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.
Her life was the inspiration for Tiana from The Princess and the Frog
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the entire world of Bayou Country is now open at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
UN CHAPOTEO DE BAYOU: LA ATRACCIÓN TIANA’S BAYOU ADVENTURE REINVENTA UNA SECCIÓN DEL PARQUE DE DISNEYLAND CON JAZZ, RENOVACIÓN Y UN CRISOL DE CULTURAS DE NUEVA ORLEANS
A medida que Bayou Country se abre y su atracción característica adquiere nueva vida y significado, escuchamos del pasado y del presente cómo llegó a ser una carta de amor a la región y a The Princess and the Frog.
Arturo Hilario El Observador
Aunquepuede verse simplemente como un parque temático, Disneyland también podría compararse con la evolución de la sociedad estadounidense y el progreso social. Está en constante cambio y evolución.
Tomemos, por ejemplo, esta cita del propio Walt Disney de una entrevista de 1956:
"Quería algo vivo, algo que pudiera crecer, algo que pudiera seguir aportando ideas, ¿ves? El parque es eso. No sólo puedo agregar cosas sino que incluso los árboles seguirán creciendo; la cosa se pondrá más hermosa cada año. Y a medida que descubro lo que le gusta al público, y cuando termino una película y la publico, descubro lo que le gusta o no le gusta, y tengo que aplicar eso a alguna otra cosa. No puedo cambiar esa película, por eso quería ese parque".
Walt Disney siempre quiso que su parque temático, ubicado en lo que alguna vez fueron campos de naranjos hasta donde alcanzaba la vista, fuera un lugar mágico que transportara a los visitantes del tiempo presente a diversas tierras de maravillas y fascinación.
Otra cita destila su visión y el espíritu de la compañía Disney más que nada:
“Disneylandia nunca estará completa. Seguirá creciendo mientras quede imaginación en el mundo”.
Con la renovación de una de sus atracciones más populares, Splash Mountain, Disneyland vuelve a demostrar el espíritu que predicó su fundador desde el inicio del parque, siempre avanzando, para siempre agregar e innovar el parque.
Inaugurado el 15 de noviembre de 2024, Tiana's Bayou Adventure y la remodelación circundante de lo que alguna vez fue el condado de Critter, y antes Bear Country, ahora es una porción del sur de Bayou, rebosante de exuberante vegetación, música de jazz y las animadas notas de la cultura de Luisiana.
Tiene mucho sentido convertir el área de un entorno de bosque caprichoso no específico en una continuación del encanto sureño que se ve al entre a New Orleans Square desde Frontierland o Adventureland, que ya tiene el ambiente del Barrio Francés de su homónimo. Frente a esto se encuentra Rivers of America, un tributo a lo que alguna vez fue la frontera para los estadounidenses que atravesaban Occidente.
Ahora, a medida que avanza desde New Orleans Square hacia la ruinosa pero hermosa arquitectura de The Haunted Mansion, ingresará a Bayou Country, donde las criaturas que alguna vez vagaron son más criaturas que nunca, pero específicas de la película The Princess and the Frog, de 2009. Película de animación de Disney conocida como la última película dibujada a mano del estudio.
Tan detallada como debe ser una película animada dibujada a mano para capturar a la audiencia, un lugar basado en esa película debe hacerlo en la vida real para capturar los sentidos de las personas que caminan a
través de él. La escala, la estética, los aromas, los sabores, todos deberían trabajar juntos para transportar eficazmente a los huéspedes a otra época y a otro mundo.
Como lo demuestra Bayou Country, la idea de la “magia de Disneylandia” existe y continúa el legado de Walt gracias a la dedicación muy real de sus ingenieros, artistas, expertos culinarios e historiadores.
Al renovar las cualidades pintorescas del Bayou y explorar la experiencia afroamericana, junto con muchas otras culturas que han contribuido a crear la identidad de Nueva Orleans, han creado un tiempo y un lugar llenos de alegría y dado voz a la región y a la gente.
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
Splash Mountain se inauguró en 1989 con fanfarria y emoción, y luego abrió versiones en Tokyo Disneyland y Magic Kingdom de Orlando en 1992. Desde entonces, ha seguido brindando emoción a millones de personas que han venido a los parques y han desafiado el paseo por el canal de troncos hasta su descenso final, hacia un espinoso arbusto (que era perfectamente seguro, era solo la perspectiva lo que hacía que pareciera que era con lo que se topaban los pasajeros al final de la caída) y la oportunidad de empaparse con ese último chapoteo.
Durante años, se sabía que la atracción, como muchas atracciones en las propiedades de Disneyland ahora, estaba basada en una película o IP de Disney, igual que muchas de las atracciones en Fantasyland como Dumbo the Flying Elephant y Pinocchio's Daring Journey, o tierras completas más recientes como Cars Land o Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
Con Splash Mountain, el tema del viaje se basó en la película de Disney de 1946 Song of the South. La película sigue a Johnny, un niño que va a la plantación de su abuela en la Era de la Reconstrucción de Georgia y se hace amigo del tío Remus, un narrador basado en un personaje creado en 1881 como narrador de cuentos tradicionales afroameri-
canos. Las historias que cuenta el tío Remus se muestran en segmentos animados y siguen las aventuras de Br'er Rabbit.
Sin embargo, hay que decir que la controversia ha seguido a la película desde su producción y posterior estreno. Aunque Splash Mountain se basa únicamente en segmentos animados, la película ha sido criticada durante décadas por sus representaciones racistas de los afroamericanos.
Es por eso que nunca ha habido lanzamientos estadounidenses de la película en ningún formato de video y no se puede encontrar en ningún servicio de streaming. Cuando se estaba diseñando Splash Mountain, no se incluyó al Tío Remus, aunque mucho se ha escrito sobre los tropos de los personajes animados que componen la narrativa de la atracción, quienes han sido vistos como características de un espectáculo de juglares, el entretenimiento escénico del siglo XIX pretendía parodiar la cultura negra de esa época.
Nacimiento del Bayou
Con el incómodo legado de la película adjunto a la atracción, era solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que Disney tomara la decisión de cambiar el tema de la atracción a una de sus creaciones más apropiadas y modernas.
Su película animada de 2009, The Princess and the Frog, le quedó como anillo al dedo, con su entretenida historia, representaciones positivas de la cultura afroamericana, la primera princesa afroamericana, la segunda princesa estadounidense de Disney después de Pocahontas, y su vivaz visión del sur. Regiones pantanosas de los Estados Unidos. Celebra una porción de Estados Unidos que es muy diversa y se ve mejor en su cocina y música.
Su cocina, como el crisol literal de Gumbo y sus orígenes culinarios indígenas, afroamericanos, africanos y franceses. Y en su música, The Princess and the Frog tiene una increíble partitura centrada en el jazz. Todos estos elementos, provenientes de inspiraciones negras, indígenas, españolas y france-

sas, por nombrar algunos, se unen para tejer las vistas, los sonidos y las tradiciones que todavía se practican en la región.
Con eso en mente, la tarea de transformar el condado de Critter en una tierra basada en The Princess and the Frog y una atracción que canalizara el mundo de la película recayó en el personal de Disney y los Imagineers que convirtieron los planos en la vida real.
Un crisol de historia
Tiana's Bayou Adventure ha mejorado el parque con su incorporación y ha hecho que la atracción sea mucho más que antes con su narrativa, canciones, estética y efectos. Desde los detalles artísticos y la historia que se unieron hasta los Imagineers que trabajaron en la construcción y renovación de Splash Mountain, es un trabajo de amor para los empleados y diseñadores que trabajaron para darle un alma nueva a la atracción que supera con creces su narrativa original.
Ted Robledo, director creativo ejecutivo de cartera de Walt Disney Imagineering, es uno de los Imagineers que supervisó el trabajo en el terreno y la atracción, y contó una historia de descubrimiento y cómo lo conectó con la atracción debido a su herencia filipina.
Cuando emigró por primera vez desde Filipinas, la familia de Robledo quedó impresionada por el nuevo e intimidante lugar.
Una cosa que hizo fue investigar con su familia y mostrarle a su madre que los filipinos habían estado en la región mucho antes de lo que habían supuesto, que tenían conexiones con esta tierra de la que podían estar orgullosos.
Los personajes no solo representan la diversidad de la flora y la fauna del pantano, sino que los sonidos son muy diversos y tienen orígenes diversos, por lo que queríamos encontrar formas de presentar eso a la gente, no como lección de historia, sino de una manera divertida, ya sabes. Y tal vez despierte la curiosidad de la gente.
- Ted Robledo, Portfolio Executive Creative Director for Walt Disney Imagineering
“Aprendemos al hacer nuestra investigación en Nueva Orleans. Resulta que los primeros filipinos llegaron al norte desde América del Sur y se establecieron aquí en Luisiana, cuando era una colonia española, anterior a los Estados Unidos porque formaban parte de los barcos de trabajo para el Imperio español y se bajaron allí en Luisiana”.
“Pensé, ¿sabes cuál es ese recuerdo que tengo de que mi mamá estaba tan emocionada por [aprender] eso? Habría gente como nosotros aquí en ese momento, así que hay un invitado en la fiesta que está bailando, que está vestido con ese traje filipino tradicional. Se lo está pasando genial”.
Estos detalles que conectan con los Imagineers y aquellos que trabajan en la atracción se pueden rastrear a través de la historia y esa cantidad de realismo se muestra en el mundo mágico de Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Incluso los latinos pueden rastrear las tradi-
ciones de Luisiana hasta sus antepasados. Robledo estuvo interesado en hablar sobre cómo las tradiciones de las bandas de música icónicas de Nueva Orleans y utilizadas en varios estilos musicales allí provienen de México.
“Llegamos a aprender que mucha de la tradición de las bandas de latón vino de una prohibición militar de México y esa persona que era parte de esa banda militar terminó instalándose en Nueva Orleans y fue una especie de introducción de estos instrumentos de latón, que más tarde se incorporó allí a lo que pensamos sobre el jazz y todos los diferentes estilos de música de Orleans”.
“Pero en todo ese aprendizaje te das cuenta de que no son solo los francófonos, no son solo los afroamericanos, no son solo los colonos europeos, no son solo los latinos de México o Cuba, comenzamos a darnos cuenta realmente de que este es un crisol
increíble. Tengo que imaginar que probablemente sea el primer crisol en los Estados Unidos, e incluso la música de Nueva Orleans tiene esa influencia española en el ritmo”.
Una canción original creada para el viaje escrita por el compositor PJ Morton, “Special Spice”, y grabada por Anika Noni Rose, la voz de Tiana de la película, tiene elementos de big band, jazz y música contemporánea. Transmite el carácter de gran crisol festivo de la ciudad y la región y recorre el recorrido.
Robledo agrega: “Y es por eso que en el paseo tenemos estos diferentes estilos de música, porque no solo los personajes creados representan la diversidad de la flora y la fauna del pantano, sino que los sonidos son muy diversos y tienen diversos orígenes y por eso queríamos encontrar formas de presentárselo a la gente, no como lección de historia, sino de una manera que lo hiciera divertido, ya sabes. Y tal vez despierte la curiosidad de la gente”.
De hecho, hablando de historia, Leah Chase fue una famosa chef estadounidense de Luisiana que comenzó como camarera en el Barrio Francés y se abrió camino con su esposo hasta abrir un restaurante icónico llamado Dooky Chase, que mostraba sus recetas familiares criollas. También fue un faro durante el movimiento de derechos civiles, donde albergó el registro de votantes y reuniones políticas entre líderes de derechos civiles como Martin Luther King Jr.
Su vida fue la inspiración para The Princess and the Frog
