Ingrid Betancourt ridiculizada en tira cómica


Se llama "Ingrid de la jungle". Le toma el pelo a la ex rehén de las FARC y se ríe de su periodo en cautiverio. Es obra de tres franceses y se edita a pocos días de la salida de su propio libro de memorias.

UNA NOTA QUE COMPARTIR SOBRE EL DREAM ACT

Dream Act : Una estrategia política, pero razonable

El Senado tiene esta semana la oportunidad de votar por el DREAM ACT, la ley que permite a ciertos jóvenes sin documentos regularizar su situación migratoria mediante la educación universitaria o el servicio militar. La medida, que contaba con respaldo bipartidista, ahora corre peligro víctima de la política electoral.


La ley, que beneficia a los estudiantes que han cursado y se han graduado de la secundaria en Estados Unidos, está integrada al presupuesto de defensa lo que ha causado disgusto en la bancada republicana. Hasta el senador John McCain, quien ha respaldado la medida y es un duro en cuestiones de defensa, está dispuesto a bloquear la ley de presupuesto porque el DREAM Act fue colocado allí y lo considera como una maniobra demócrata.

THE DREAM ACT

For Immediate Release
The DREAM Act:
Creating Economic Opportunities
September 20, 2010

Washington, D.C. - As the bipartisan call for passing the DREAM Act gets louder - from military, education, faith, and Republican leaders alike - some may overlook the economic benefits of granting legal status to eligible undocumented youth who want to attend college or join the military. There are currently 2.1 million undocumented youths living in the U.S. who, without the DREAM Act, are unlikely to go to college and cannot work legally in the U.S. The DREAM Act, however, would provide an opportunity for them to live up to their full potential as future doctors, nurses, teachers, and entrepreneurs and make greater contributions to the U.S. economy and society.

The DREAM Act would give beneficiaries the opportunity to increase their standard of living - and their tax contributions: If legalized, DREAM Act beneficiaries would have access to greater educational opportunities and better jobs, which in turn means more taxable income. According to a study from Arizona State University, an individual with a bachelor's degree earns approximately $750,000 more over the course of his/her lifetime than an individual with only a high-school diploma.

The DREAM Act would save taxpayers money: A RAND study from 1999 shows that raising the college graduation rate of Hispanics to that of non-Hispanic whites would increase spending on public education by 10 percent nationwide, but the costs would be more than offset by savings in public health and benefits, as well as by increased tax revenues resulting from higher incomes.

The DREAM Act keeps talented students in the United States: Letting the talent of DREAM Act students go to waste "imposes economic and emotional costs on undocumented students and on U.S. society as a whole." The DREAM Act would stop brain drain by allowing our most talented students to remain in the country.

While some in Congress continue to play politics with the DREAM Act, America and its taxpayers continue to lose. Without the DREAM Act, the United States is missing out on talented workers and entrepreneurs, and is losing vital tax revenues and other economic contributions.

ACTION ALERT DREAM ACT

Dear LCLAA members,


This is a call to action on the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors known as the (DREAM) Act. If it's approved, this legislation would allow eligible students who entered the U.S. before age 16 and who have been in the United States for at least five years to earn legal status if they pass background checks, attend college, or serve in the military for at least two years.

The Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) recently announced that he would advance DREAM Act by introducing it this week as an amendment to the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization bill and we need your help in order to make legalization a reality for hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth, our youth. See the actions below and let us know who you've contacted and what their response has been. We thank you in advance for your calls and look forward to hearing from you!

TALKING POINTS on the DREAM ACT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DREAM Act provides a path to citizenship for children who were brought to this country by no choice of their own.

The DREAM Act would legalize approximately 800, 000 young immigrants who entered the United States as children, have been raised here, have excelled in school, and are committed to continued academic attainment or service in our armed forces.

Passing the DREAM Act would allow a group of talented, multi-lingual and multi-cultural workers to contribute to our tax base and return the investment that taxpayers have made in the public education of these children.
  Many of these kids do not even realize they are “illegal” until years after they came to the U.S., before they can even remember. The U.S. is the only country they ever called home.

· Now they live in fear of deportation to a country where they may not have any family or have any connection to.

· These kids have the same hopes and dreams as any other kid in America. They want to make the most of their lives and give back to their country.

The DREAM Act IS NOT AMNESTY– eligibility requirements for legal status are strict and legal status must be earned.

· The DREAM Act does not provide automatic citizenship for these kids – legal status must be earned.

· Eligibility for legal status under the DREAM Act is strict. Kids must be physically present in the U.S. for at least 5 consecutive years prior to the date of enactment of the law. This will not be a magnet for more illegal immigration.

· Under the DREAM Act, only kids who were under 16 when they came to the U.S. are eligible for legal status. And those who are 35 at the time of enactment are no longer eligible.

· To earn legal status, young people must meet the DREAM Act’s high standards and work through a lengthy process that includes graduating from high school, being of good moral character, passing background tests and continuing their education at college or in the military.

NOTA SOBRE EL DREAM ACT

825,000 estudiantes se beneficiarían con la propuesta actual del Dream Act

La ley concedería un plazo de seis años de residencia legal a los graduados de secundaria que han vivido en EE.UU. en forma continua durante cinco años y que arribaron al país con 15 años o menos. Estas personas podrían solicitar la ciudadanía si asisten a la universidad o se incorporan a las fuerzas armadas durante dos años de su período de residencia legal.

Elecciónes primarias en Nueva York confirman radicalización del Partido Republicano

Triunfo de Paladino y otros favoritos del Tea Party generan más dudas que entusiasmo

Brentwood, NY- A pocas horas de haber participado en las elecciones primarias del 2010, muchos residentes del estado de Nueva York estudiosos de la política están todavía intentando digerir y asimilar los resultados de la jornada de ayer. Si bien se oía hablar de una base republicana furiosa y descontenta, ni los mejores encuestadores pudieron predecir el catastrófico resultado que obtendría Rick Lazio en la primaria republicana para la nominación a gobernador. El margen alcanzado por el millonario candidato originario de Búfalo, Carl Paladino, fue casi de 2 a 1 (Paladino 62% vs. Lazio 28%).

Central Islip- El vapuleado representante demócrata Charles Rangel ganó el martes una muy concurrida elección primaria demócrata, luego que los votantes de su distrito en la Ciudad de Nueva York prefirieron respaldar al político veterano pese a enfrentar más de una decena de acusaciones éticas.

Con el resultado, Rangel prácticamente garantizó su reelección en noviembre, pues su distrito es mayoritariamente demócrata.

Rangel, quien ha pasado 40 años en la Cámara de Representantes, venció a cinco oponentes, entre quienes estuvieron Adam Clayton Powell IV, un asambleísta estatal e hijo del legendario político de Harlem a quien Rangel derrotó en 1970.

Como si del imperio de la sofística se tratara, a veces da la sensación de que la política es el reino de la opinión. El lenguaje es sin duda uno de los grandes perjudicados en los círculos políticos, en los que parece que no existiera ninguna verdad. Las palabras se devalúan y se diluyen en el interés. No hay un análisis serio de la realidad a partir de la cual se forma la opinión sino que esta nace de la ideología, del posicionamiento previo. Da igual cómo sean las cosas: lo importante es sólo la versión. La nuestra, claro. La verdad se ajusta a las necesidades del partido y todos continúan como si tal cosa. Es el circo del absurdo: pase lo que pase los interesados se justifican y ofrecen la más favorable de las interpretaciones, mientras que la oposición adopta como el punto de partida el rechazo más absoluto y la crítica, aunque sea injustificada. Por eso no sobra el escepticismo cuando se habla del gran logro social y político que implica la democracia: el paso de la fuerza como origen del poder a la palabra.
