Bajo la ley de los EE.UU. la Policía en cada estado tienen una capacidad limitada para hacer cumplir las leyes federales.  La inmigración es de jurisdicción federal, no la jurisdicción del Estado.  En general, la policía local  no han aplicado la ley de inmigración.

La nueva ley de Arizona que hacen que sea ilegal para ser indocumentados o "ilegales". Que permite a la policía estatal para arrestar a cualquiera que encuentran que es indocumentado.

"Una mujer que ha sido violada, un niño que ha sido abusado sexualmente, un padre cuyo automóvil fue robado, no será capaz de pedir ayuda a la policía si este ley pasa"

La mayoría de la gente cree que esto es una mala ley, porque los inmigrantes que son víctimas de un criminal no se puede pedir la asistencia de la policía. Por ejemplo, una mujer que ha sido violada, un niño que ha sido abusado sexualmente, un padre cuyo automóvil fue robado, no será capaz de pedir ayuda a la policía. si lo hacen, pueden ser arrestados y deportados bajo la ley de Arizona.

"La gobernadora Jan Brewer (un Republicano) ha dicho que apoya y que firmará estas leyes, a pesar del alto costo que pueden tener para el estado...En las últimas semanas, varias organizaciones en Arizona han llevado a cabo una intensa campaña para recaudar miles de firmas a través de todo el estado en contra de la aprobación de esta iniciativa. Estas firmas fueron entregadas a la oficina de la gobernadora republicana en el Capitolio en Phoenix", dice un articulo en La Voz.  Para otros reportes, buscas en Google por La Prensa y otro periodicos.

Si la ley pasa en Arizona, un trabajador indocumenta lo puede ser sabio para salir del estado de Arizona hasta que las leyes de inmigración se han ajustado.  Si no, puede ser ilegal para ser 'ilegal'.  Estamos a la madrugada de la reforma migratoria.  El objetivo final es entrar en el cumplimiento de las leyes de inmigración de EE.UU..   Sin duda, hare' estados mas amable legalmentemente a los indocumentados.  Mientras, hablas a tus primos para votar.  Hasta que cambio la clima politica, es el adminstracion Republicano que quiere pasar este ley, es tiempo a llevar otras personas a servir el gobiverno y los ciudanos en los E.E.U.U.  La governadora anterior, de el partido Democrata, rehuso a firmar este ley por la injusticia.

Reactions to Rifa march on Washington La reforma migratoria

Reactions from around the country to RIFA and the March on Washington D.C.

Michael Flores among the true believers: those convinced that with a lot of hard work, comprehensive immigration reform legislation could finally move forward in 2010, despite previous failures and the fact that Washington's attention is focused squarely on other issues.

"This is the time," said Flores, Southern Nevada director of Reform Immigration For America . "We're organized and we're not going to take no for an answer."  Americans for Immigration Reform

Posting for Department of Philosophy graduate - Maria Desangles

I am working full-time as an AmeriCorps member here at the Hope CommUnity Center (Office for Farmworker Ministry)...The work is wonderful! The people are amazing! I am working with students at Apopka and Wekiva High, that come from low-income, farmworking families. Many of them are undocumented, and as you can imagine just barely surviving this trying economic time. It is so rewarding, because I've realized that even the smallest of activities keeps these teens away from their homes, drugs, prostitution, gangs and depression.

Arrested 4 immigration reform

Every American, regardless of their background, has the right to live free of unwarranted government intrusion. Repealing the worst provisions of the Patriot Act will reign in this gross abuse of power and restore to everyone our basic Constitutional rights.

  Why do I do this?

Students for Fair Consideration

"Why do you do “this”? – Is a question I got from a 16 years old high school boy on my last classroom presentation at Roseland University Prep. At times I feel like my passion for “this” is so strong that it clearly shows on my face why I do this presentation"

Those who gave their lives… Miriam Vega 4 RIFA & Immigration Reform

Miriam Vega

"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." Mikhail Bakunin

     A Guatemalan immigrant who naturalized years ago, Miriam was a tireless worker for those who have no voice.  Though I did not know her, those who did had a great love and respect for her as a devoted citizen who worked ‘tirelessly to organize the community, to fight alongside them for immigration reform and against daily injustices suffered by the poorest workers”. 

     Today, the voice of the voiceless is being heard across the nation as those who participate together find the power and protection to speak out, most recently through the Reform Immigration For America campaign. Miriam was one of those who made all of this possible.

      You don’t have to die in battle to die a soldier for the cause.  Miriam perished in an automobile accident on her way to the March on Washington D.C. for immigration reform. 

     According to a report in Eye Witness News 3, a Mazda MS3 operated by Jamie Mejia, 20, of Stamford was traveling northbound in the southbound lane of Strawberry Hill Avenue when it struck a tree just before 5 a.m.. After hitting the tree, police said the car struck the passenger side of a Toyota RAV4 driven by Maria Sandoval, 41, of Stamford.  Maria’s passenger was Miriam Vega.

     The Jaws of life were likely used to cut Miriam from the wreckage.  She was transported to Norwalk Hospital’s critical care unit.  Miriam passed from her wounds.

     A message on the RIFA website says:

“Mrs.. Vega was a tireless fighter for the rights of all immigrants despite the fact that she herself had her papers. I think the least we can do as a community is to honor her work posthumously for her passion for helping her community even though she personally had no need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” said Claudia Carias, member of MIGUA in New York, who organized one of the hundreds of buses that went to DC on March 21. “ We need to do all we can to show our solidarity to the Vega family and the two survivors,” she added.

     All of us face mortality, a gift God has given us and which is so misunderstood.  I hope when it is my time I can go doing what I love so much, and in a cause so great.

     Miriam, you will be missed.  I did not need to know you in person to know of your great works.  There are those who seek the spot light, and those who make the voices for freedom from oppression heard.  Of the two, those who fight in the trenches have the valor, from my point of view.

     My prayers to the survivors, Jaime Mejia and Maria Sandoval.

     Tim Paynter, Attorney at Law, Denver, Colorado

A memorial mass will be held this Thursday, March 25, 6:00pm at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 19 Smith Street, Port Chester, NY 10573. To help support her family and community through this difficult time, please send Donations to her daughter Jennyfer Lima c/o First County Bank, Account# 669122162.
