Esperando en las sombras: cambios en la ley imigratoria; con una entrevista con Andrea Cruz, de SEGCC. 3 years ago
Por Juan Pedro Creighton-Padilla
Poco tiempo antes del Dia de la Raza, Presidente de los Estados Unidos, George W. Bush, y el secretario del Buro’ de Seguridad del Pais, Michael Chertoff, anunciaron cambios grandes en la politica de imigracion. La importancia que las instituciones esta’n dando ahora es tan al corriente que mientras este periodista estaba componiendo este articulo, por la Radio Nacional Publica anunciaban sobre estos mismos topicos de imigracion y seguridad. La administracio’n presente esta’ promoviendo un programa cuyos tres ramas son lo siguiente:
 Un fin a “detener y soltar.” A muchos de los individuos arrestados para estar presente en el pais illegalmente se dejan sueltos hasta que asistan a una audiencia en la cual se decide si deben estar deportados. Muchos se fugan antes de que pueden estar deportados. Se considera entre pensadores derechistas que ésta politica se debe realizarse en absoluto.
 No dar amnestia para los que quiebren la ley. El Presidente indico’ que ‘el dara’ un veto a cualquiera legislacio’n que ortega amnestia a individuos quie’n estan presente illegalment en los Estados Unidos Americanos.
 Alternatives legales. El Presidente hizo demanda para alternativas eficaces, efectivas, seguras, legales para que los empleadores acupen los trabajadores que necesiten.
 En Washington, D.C., el senador Saxby Chambliss (R, GA) anuncio’que él desea H28—un programa existente para trabajadores inmigrantes, sea ampliado para incluir la silvicultura, ajardinar, aves de corral, y el proceso de carne. Él también ahora quisiera que cada extranjero llevara una nueva forma de identidad con tecnología de la exploración. Él está llamando esto una “tarjeta azul.”
 El representativo James Sensenbrenner (R, PA) introdujo la legislación a la cámara de representantes que supuesto aumentarán grandemente seguridad, incluyendo el mandato de la comprobación de la identificación en los lugares de trabajo, y de autorizar por mandato el estado y la aplicación de ley local para realizar el trabajo que estaba antes en el dominio de la inmigración.


La Voz Latina se fue’ a Lyons, en el Condado de Toombs, el pasado martes, para saber de que manera los imigrantes hispanos e indigeno-americanos del sur de la frontera estaban recibiendo estos anuncios. Se notaba que en realidad muchos imigrantes tienen muchos mas preguntas que respuestas. Much gente parecia no saber nada de nuevo. En Southeast Georgia Community Center los imigrantes pueden enterarse donde obtener cuidado medico, educacion, comida, ropa, y un lugar donde conocer uno a otro, hacienda nuevas amistades.La Voz Latina: Como Usted debe haber aprendido, Seguridad de Patria y la Migra ha anunciado algunas politicas recientemente. Que comprehension se ha formado entre la gente Hispanica, y los imigrants aqui en está parte de la Georgia?
A. Cruz: Muy poca gente comprenden ésto… Ofrecemos un programa de radio que difunde la palabra. Es deprimiente. (El gobierno estadounidense y el estado de Georgia) se les hace muy dificil de permitir a ésta gente congregar, emergir—a hacerse mas indentificable—dentro de las comunidades integradas en general…El resultado parece que se esta’n volviendo clandestinos.
L.V.L.: ¿Esta nueva política realmente concede a inmigrante una posibilidad para entrar en una personalidad jurídica permanente?
A. Cruz: No hay forma . (La Migra no les ofrece avenida. Es mas o menos una barbaridad. Ha de haber gente inteligente que esta’n dirigiendo este pais, pero no ven mas alla de su vision mortal.
L.V.L. Asi’ que para los imigrantes hispanicos, les ofrece algo el prometido Programa de Trabajadores Huespedes?
A. Se me hace que es una manera de atrapar a ésta gente. Seis años (trabajan aqui) —y les dan la patada. (La Migra) puede averiguar ahora si han salido del pais.. ¿Que van a hacer en Mexico? ¿Morir de hambre? Por que esto es lo que esta’ pasando ein Mexico.
LVL Ha habido qualquiera otra alternative mas aceptable?
A. Cruz: Necesitamos un programa que les ofrecerá situacion jurídica permanente. Todos tenemos sueños. Vivimos en una nación de sueños. Queremos ver a nuestra gente salir adelante, “move forward.” Además, somos un pais formado de imigrantes. Asi que me parece dificil emocionalmente regresar a casa al atardecer, pensando lo que está hacienda mi pais—la USA (EEUU)—esta haciendo a (imigrantes hispanicos). De está gente son las manos que nos dan de comer, que siembran, que hacen la cosecha, que preparan la carne… Esta gente son los quienes hacen estos alfombras maravillosas.
LVL: Muchos norteamericanos (anglosaxones) estan quejandose que los estranjeros indocumentados estan quitandose trabajos de ciudadanos, que estan bajando el sueldo horario. Que opina Usted?
...Como intercesores, defensores, sentimos la necesidad de que (los que quejan Nos tienen que probar que NO nos necesitan como braceros. Que estan quitandose los trabajos de otros americanos, —es una gran mentira. Personalmente, no practico la politica partidaria. Practico sistemas y procesos para funcionar en sociedad. (Practico) informacion a un nivel fundamental que se puede compartir entre la gente a un nivel comunitariano, donde la gente pueden escucharla. Informacion que la gente puede utilizar, con buen provecho.
cafegroundzero: Hay algunos que se dirigen hacia otros partidos politicos o instituciones para encontrar soluciones, para decir, “ESTO es lo que necesitamos!”?
A. Cruz: El Consejo Nacional de la Raza, MALDEF estan llevando estos asuntos a lo mas alto. Hay mucho que se debe hacer. Estoy en la posicion de asegurar que está gente se eduque a un nivel local.
cafegroundzero: ¿En su entendimiento, que quiere decir un nivel local?
A. Cruz: A un nivel comunitario—condado, pueblo… Al nivel del estado o federal, estan ciegos a la realidad social. Ellos deben enfrentarse con los problemas que enredan a la gente local. [ las investigaciones hechas en los varios locales a través de los condados de Tattnall, largos, y de Toombs tendieron para apoyar observación de ms a Cruz la ’ que muchos de los inmigrantes, legales y de semejante indocumentado, se parecen no saber exactamente qué está sucediendo en los E.E.U.U. y la Georgia en grande. Se parece haber mucha confusión, y una carencia de la transparencia en los funcionamientos de la legislatura y de la burocracia ].


Hoping in the shadows: changes in the law imigratoria; with one it interviews with Andrea Cross, of SEGCC.
By John-Peter Creighton-Padilla
Just a short time before the Columbus Day, the President of the United States, George W. Bush, and the secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Tchertoff, announced great changes in immigration policy. The importance that the institutions are giving now is happening so fast that while this journalist was composing this article, National Radio Publishes was broadcasting in-depth stories on problems involving communities in Massachussetts, Rhode Island, Georgia, and Hispanic nationals in those states.
The current administration is vaunting a program whose tripods are the following:
• /An end to “catch and release.” Many individuals arrested for being unlawfully present are released until a judicial hearing determines whether they should be deported. Many abscond before they are deported. Ending this practice is vital.
• No amnesty for lawbreakers. The President warned that he will veto any legislation that grants amnesty to individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States.
• Legal alternatives. The President called for efficient, effective, and secure lawful alternatives for employers to get the workers they need.
• In Washington, D.C., Senator Saxby Chambliss (R, GA) announced, as La Voz was going to press, that he wants H28 expanded to include forestry, landscaping, poultry, and meat processing. He also wants every alien now to carry a new form of identity with scanning technology. He is calling this a “blue card.”
• Representative James Sensenbrenner introduced legislation to the House of Representatives which supposedly will greatly increase security, including mandating checking of identification at workplaces, and empowering state and local law enforcement to carry out work that formerly was in the domain of Immigration.

Lav Voz Latina went to Lyons, Toombs County, to meet and interview the director of this centre, where immigrants can find out where to get health care, education, food, clothing, and find a place to meet others.

Lav Voz Latina: As you may have heard, Homeland Intelligence and the Immigration and Naturalization Service has announced some policy changes recently. What news has filtered down to the Hispanic or indigenous Latin American immigrants here in this (southeastern)part of Georgia?
A. Cruz: Very few people understand this… We have a radio show which puts out the word. It’s depressing. (The U.S. government and the state of Georgia) is making it very hard to allow these people to come together, to come out—to become more identifiable—into the communities…It’s like they’re going underground.
Lav Voz Latina. Does this new policy really grant an immigrant a possibility to enter into a permanent legal status?
A. Cruz: There’s no form. They’re not giving them any options. It’s basically a joke. We’re supposed to have intelligent people in the country, but they don’t see beyond their (finite) vision.
Lav Voz Latina. So what does the Guest Worker program do for Hispanic immigrants?
A. I think it’s a way to trap these people. Six years (they work in this country), and you’re out. They’re able to detect that you left the country. What are they (then) going to do in Mexico? Starve? Because that’s what they’re doing in Mexico.
Lav Voz Latina. Has there been any other program put forward?
A. Cruz: We need to have a program which will offer them permanent legal status. ... We all have dreams. We live in a country of dreams. We want to see our people salir adelante, move forward. Another thing, we’re a country of immigrants). So it’s really hard to go home in the evenings, and think what my country—the USA—is doing to (Hispanic immigrants). These people are the hands that feed us, that plant, sew, harvest, butcher… that make all these wonderful carpets for our homes.
LVL: Many Americans are saying that the undocumented aliens are taking away jobs, are depressing the wages. What do you say to that?
A Cruz: As advocates we need to be proven wrong We need to be shown that they are NOT needed. That they’re taking away jobs from other Americans—that’s a big lie. I personally don’t practice politics. I practice policy. (I provide) low level information that can be shared with real people who need to hear it. Information that they can use is what we offer.
L.V.L: Are there any people going to other parties or institutions to try to get solutions, to say “THIS is what we need?”
A. Cruz: The National Council of La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC, they’re taking these issues higher. There are a lot of things that need to be done. I’m in the right place to see that these people are educated at a local level.
LVL: To you all, what is a local level?
A. Cruz: At a local level—county, city, town… At the state level the leadership are blind to reality. They need to tackle these issues that are confronting the people locally.
