l 37% de los indocumentados que viven en Estados Unidos tienen acceso a una licencia de manejar, de acuerdo con un estudio publicado por el Pew Center (Pew Charitable Trusts). En 10 estados más el Distrito de Columbia (la capital) los extranjeros sin estado de permanencia legal en el país pueden gestionar un carné de manejar, aunque no todos bajo las mismas reglas. El informe, “Decidiendo quién conduce”, revela que cada una de las 11 jurisdicciones que conceden el documento a los indocumentados (California, Colorado, Connecticut, el Distrito de Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Nuevo México, Utah, Vermont
Washington) han tomado su propio camino a la hora de decidir quién maneja y quién no. A pesar de las diferencias, el reporte señala que “hay muchas similitudes” entre los estados favorables para otorgar los permisos de manejar a los indocumentados, y detalla que en Nuevo México y Washington los indocumentados reciben el mismo tipo de documento que los residentes legales permanentes o los ciudadanos. En los otros ocho estados y la capital se otorgan licencias específicas para los indocumentados con una denominación distinta al resto. El informe “puede servir de modelo o guía para los 39 estados que sopesan o en el futuro decidan extender el

beneficio a extranjeros sin papeles”. Advierte que el análisis no examinó los factores que contribuyen en las decisiones de los estados para otorgar licencias a los indocumentados o los méritos que tomaron en cuenta para extenderlas. Entre las opciones que algunos estados toman en cuenta para otorgar los permisos de manejo, se incluyen: - Establecer requisitos de elegibilidad (quién si quién no) - Qué documentos serán aceptados como prueba de identidad o cumplimiento - Crear un documento a prueba de fraude - Oficinas de atención y despacho a clientes A2

pesar de la gran cantidad de becas disponibles para estudiantes hispanos de toda condición migratoria y nivel académico, padres y estudiantes latinos ignoran la existencia de esos recursos, coincidieron expertos consultados sobre el tema. “La principal razón por la que los jóvenes hispanos no acceden a las becas es que simplemente no saben que existen becas para ellos, aunque sus calificaciones sean bajas y aunque no estudien en una universidad
de cuatro años”, dijo Nate Easley, director ejecutivo de la Fundación de Becas de Denver (DSF) en la capital de Colorado. “La falta de conocimientos de las becas y del sistema educativo impide que los jóvenes accedan a la universidad. Se trata de algo muy importante, ya que en sólo cinco años tres de cada cuatro trabajos requerirán algún título postsecundario”, agregó. Easley, con 25 años de experiencia educativa, se especializa en el éxito aca-
démico de estudiantes latinos, afroamericanos y desaventajados “para que concreten su sueño de una educación universitaria”. “Además de las becas tradicionales, existen becas para quienes quieran obtener un título asociado de dos años o para quienes quieran un certificado profesional en una escuela vocacional. Existen becas para estudiantes con un promedio académico de sólo 2.0, y tenemos becas para estudiantes sin presencia legal en el país”, comentó Easley. A2

Socialism is Changing Our Nation
olitical insiders play by their own rules. We have seen the Obama administration in the past seven years proclaiming rules and the Constitution are obsolete. Constituents are fed continual nonsense and made believe bread and butter is best provided by government. Federal numbers are phony, made to order, no longer valid as barometers of actual circumstance. Unemployment is calculated by eliminating those who have failed to find employment, have run out of benefits. Dropping them from the statistics does not make them employed, it makes them numerically irrelevant. They have become re-election numbers reflecting a false economic improvement. The Center for Immigrant Studies confirms 51% of immigrant households access welfare. Countering arguments by activists who insist the undocumented are doing us a revenue favor. For non-immigrants, the percentages are not encouraging, 30% now utilize some form of assistance. Many immigrants struggle to support children. A large share of welfare is received on behalf of U.S. born babies. Hence the importance of so called “anchor babies”. American born infants qualify for financial assistance. The 53 page report derived from census data sheds light on democrat politicians buying votes with American taxpayer dollars. The highest assistance recipients are paid by New York59%, Texas-57%, California-55% and Florida 42%. If Democrats get their way, 99% of homes in America will be dependent on government; monies taken from the 1% called “the wealthy”. Arguments in favor of “legal” immigration are deemed socially conservative, that is no accident. The left has been hammering conservatives for wanting “legal” immigration. In sharp contrast, the liberal segment wants “votes”. The security and economic wellness of our nation is reduced to implied bigotry. What if border security had been implemented as President Reagan wanted in 1985? What if national ID’s had been a primary
requirement for employment? Those “what if’s” are too lightly asked and answered. Once border security became a political issue for getting votes for democrats, we were on our way towards altering the character of our nation. Reaganite conservatism became an unacceptable notion. No matter what each of us define as national security, indifference by a major political party has marred our ability to protect our nation and economy. For too long we have been a nation of listeners and have not been willing to become participants. The intimate private conversation relating to the effect of undocumented immigrants in our country has now reached a crescendo. A crescendo of empty solutions punctuated by the Democrats advance towards “open borders” and instant voter rights. The equally nonsensical counter solution is rounding up the 12 million and shipping them back. Both scenarios are unlikely with “open borders” gaining ground. The simple “shrug of the shoulder” solution now accepted by 66% of America will affect the character of our nation. Absolution and blanket amnesty is being accepted as least harmful, until election time. We will find a direct link with liberal agendas, government intrusion and a slide towards socialism. The liberal party is now pushing for greater taxation, penalties on self sufficiency, on success, on wealth and committing the damnedest of frauds against advocates of being honest to the precepts of our constitution. Until now, freedom from theological and political oppression along with open opportunities for self sufficiency had been one of our greatest achievements. These are reasons immigrants by the millions chose to come to America. Today we find thousands of immigrants from different parts of the world arriving to change what we value as a nation. Our religious beliefs and our politics do not conform to theirs. The nation we for centuries struggled to become is under attack. Our clearly naive leadership today forces us to digest their arrogance and accept the pill of ignorance many have already bitten into.
