THE PERFECT CENSUS STORM

ESPAÑOL

ENGLISH

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

na tormenta perfecta azota nuevamente a Puerto Rico, pero no se trata U de un desastre natural sino de una combi-

But in March, a day after the enumerators began their mobilization on the island, the government of Puerto Rico suspended operations. Residents of the island watched on television or listened to the ads for the multi-million-dollar ad campaign to fill out the Census questionnaire but did not have the package in their hands.

A menos de dos meses del vencimiento del plazo para completar el formulario censal el 30 de septiembre, luego que la administración Trump decidió sorpresivamente acortar un mes el plazo, apenas 28.3% de los residentes de la isla han enviado su respuesta. Se trata del porcentaje más bajo que cualquier otro grupo étnico en los Estados Unidos, de acuerdo con cifras oficiales actualizadas de la Oficina del Censo.

Some 10,000 enumerators returned to the streets in May to drop off the packages and managed to complete that part of the process at the end of June, however, the Census Bureau officials themselves acknowledge that they lost their “momentum”. The numbers speak for themselves. The proportion of residents who have completed the forms so far is half that of those who did in the 2010 Census and less than half the national average, which is over 60%.

nación perversa de factores que podrían hacer que una proporción de los residentes de la Isla del Encanto no sea contada para efectos del crucial Censo 2020.

La pandemia del COVID-19 detonó el primer problema, complicado por el hecho de que los recientes desastres naturales que golpearon a Puerto Rico habían provocado masivos desplazamientos de la población que perdió casas o abandonó la isla, por lo que era necesario iniciar una rigurosa verificación de los domicilios actuales.

Pero en marzo, un día después que los enumeradores iniciaron su movilización en la isla, el gobierno de Puerto Rico suspendió operaciones. Los residentes de la isla veían en la televisión o escuchaban en la radio los anuncios de la multimillonaria campaña publicitaria para llenar el cuestionario del Censo, pero no tenían el paquete en sus manos.

Unos 10,000 enumeradores regresaron a las calles en mayo para dejar los paquetes y lograron completar esa parte del proceso a finales de junio, sin embargo, los propios funcionarios de la oficina del Censo reconocen que perdieron el “momentum”. Las cifras hablan por sí solas.

La proporción de residentes que llenó los formularios hasta el momento es la mitad de quienes lo hicieron en el Censo 2010 y menos de la mitad del promedio nacional, que supera el 60%.

Aunque la oficina del Censo incrementó el presupuesto de publicidad electrónica y digital durante el verano y actualizó sus mensajes para tomar en cuenta el miedo y la preocupación de la población por los contagios del COVID-19, las cifras reales de llenado del formulario sugieren que la respuesta de la población boricua ha quedado por debajo de las expectativas oficiales.

Acaso reconociendo que la estrategia mediática inicial no cumplió con sus objetivos, el Censo decidió reclutar el apoyo de “influencers”.

Todo lo cual hacen más inexplicable la decisión de adelantar un mes el plazo para recolectar información, combinado con el polémico memorando de la administración Trump de excluir a los inmigrantes indocumentados del conteo censal para efectos de la redefinición de los distritos electorales de Estados Unidos en 2021.

El argumento oficial de la administración Trump es que tiene un mandato legal para completar el conteo del censo para diciembre 31 del 2020, pero desde mayo pasado el director adjunto de la oficina del censo para operaciones de campo Timothy Olson había dicho que ya no era posible cumplir con el calendario.

Aunque inicialmente el secretario de Comercio pidió al Congreso una extensión de cuatro meses para la entrega de los resultados, las acciones recientes del Censo sugieren que se apegaran al calendario

La Cámara de Representantes tomó cartas en el asunto al incluir una extensión del censo hasta el 30 de abril de 2021 en la iniciativa de Ley Héroes, pero las negociaciones con el Senado y la Casa Blanca no sólo siguen estancadas, sino que llevaron al presidente Trump a aprobar el fin de semana un paquete parcial de alivio a través de una orden ejecutiva, la cual podría ser impugnada en los tribunales bajo argumentos constitucionales.

Más allá del caso singular de Puerto Rico, la Asociación Nacional de Funcionarios Latinos Electos (NALEO) advierte que cumplir con los nuevos plazos implica sacrificar la exactitud del Censo, desperdiciar 16,000 millones de dólares y provocar la exclusión de grupos históricamente mal contados, incluyendo latinos, afroamericanos, nativos americanos, poblaciones rurales, hogares de bajos ingresos y niños. ¿Quién se beneficia con eso?

perfect storm hits Puerto Rico again, but it is not a natural disaster but rather a perverse combination of factors that could cause a proportion of the residents of Isla del Encanto to not be counted for the purposes of the crucial 2020 Census.

Less than two months before the deadline to complete the census form on September 30, after the Trump administration surprisingly decided to shorten the deadline by one month, only 28.3% of the island's residents have sent their response. This is the lowest percentage of any ethnic group in the United States, according to updated official figures from the Census Bureau.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the first problem, complicated by the fact that the recent natural disasters that hit Puerto Rico had caused massive displacement of the population that lost homes or left the island, making it necessary to initiate a rigorous verification of current addresses.

Although the Census Bureau increased the budget for electronic and digital advertising during the summer and updated its messages to take into account the fear and concern of the population about COVID-19 infections, the actual figures for filling out the form suggest that the response of the Puerto Rican population has fallen below official expectations.

Perhaps recognizing that the initial media strategy did not meet its objectives, the Census decided to recruit the support of "influencers".

All of which make the decision to advance the deadline for collecting information one month, combined with the controversial Trump administration memorandum to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census count for purposes of redefining US electoral districts in 2021.

The official argument of the Trump administration is that it has a legal mandate to complete the census count by December 31, 2020, but since last May the deputy director of the census office for field operations Timothy Olson had said that it was no longer possible to stick to the schedule.

Although initially the Secretary of Commerce asked Congress for an extension of four months for the delivery of the results, the recent actions of the Census suggest that they adhere to the legal calendar, with the new deadline to complete the data collection stage on September 30, despite the fact that the pandemic has disrupted original plans.

The House of Representatives took action on the matter by including an extension of the census until April 30, 2021 in the initiative of the Heroes Act, but the negotiations with the Senate and the White House not only remain stalled, but also led to President Trump to approve a partial relief package over the weekend through an executive order, which could be challenged in court on constitutional grounds.

Beyond the unique case of Puerto Rico, the National Association of Latino Elected Officials (NALEO) warns that meeting the new deadlines involves sacrificing Census accuracy, wasting $ 16 billion and causing the exclusion of historically undercounted groups including Latinos, African Americans, Native Americans, rural populations, low-income households, and children. Who benefits from that?

aving money is a top priority for many Americans, but it becomes even more important during times of economic turmoil. Luckily, there are many simple steps you can take to eliminate wasteful spending in your daily life.

Here are eight easy strategies to start saving more money now: 1. Track your personal expenses in a notebook or spreadsheet for 30 days. Doing this is as easy as writing down what, where, when and how much you spend on every transaction. It is only after you know what you are spending your money on that you can wisely choose where to reduce or cut.

2. Ask for discounts and use coupons when shopping for essentials. When possible, select nonbranded products, which are often found at a lower price than name brand goods. But be savvy and check for a trial price or return/refund guarantee.

3. Make major purchases using credit cards that offer product assurance guarantees and make filing disputes easy. If a product is defective or damaged, you may be able to get it repaired or replaced for free.

5. Contact service providers to confirm there are no other contract options that offer lower monthly service charges. Many companies offer varying service levels and contracts at different prices, but they won’t tell you about them unless you ask. For instance, you could avoid a $190 cable bill by paying only for the channels you most frequently watch.

6. Learn to say “no,” at least sometimes, to your kids and grandkids. Spending money, mobile phone plans, car insurance, gas money and car payments are a few things you may be supplementing for a child or grandchild that you might consider cutting out or at least reducing.

7. Set up different checking accounts for your nondiscretionary and discretionary spending. Arrange for monthly bills to be paid from the first account by a bill-pay service or electronic fund transfer. Conversely, use a debit card for personal spending. With two separate accounts, you can better manage and monitor your discretionary spending.

8. Consider creating a separate savings account at a different financial institution from where you have your checking account(s) so it is harder to transfer money. You can set up a direct deposit or auto-draft from your paycheck to do this each month without any effort on your end.

A Certified Financial Planner professional can also help you audit and discover expenses that can be reduced or eliminated. To find a CFP professional near you, visit letsmakeaplan.org.

These simple steps may seem small, but they can add up to big savings for you and your family.

horrar dinero es una prioridad máxima para muchos estadounidenses, pero se vuelve aún más importante en tiempos de agitación económica. Afortunadamente, existen muchos pasos sencillos que puede seguir para eliminar el despilfarro en su vida diaria.

Aquí hay ocho estrategias fáciles para comenzar a ahorrar más dinero ahora: 1. Lleve un registro de sus gastos personales en un cuaderno u hoja de cálculo durante 30 días. Hacer esto es tan fácil como escribir qué, dónde, cuándo y cuánto gasta en cada transacción. Solo después de saber en qué está gastando su dinero, puede elegir sabiamente dónde reducir o recortar.

2. Solicite descuentos y use cupones cuando compre artículos esenciales. Cuando sea posible, seleccione productos sin marca, que a menudo se encuentran a un precio más bajo que los productos de marca. Pero tenga cuidado y compruebe un precio de prueba o una garantía de devolución / reembolso.

3. Realice compras importantes con tarjetas de crédito que ofrezcan garantías de garantía del producto y faciliten la presentación de disputas. Si un producto está defectuoso o dañado, es posible que pueda repararlo o reemplazarlo de forma gratuita.

4. Verifique los extractos de su banco y tarjeta de crédito o la información de su cuenta en línea para ver

With a personal approach you can depend on, together we can build a better financial future.

5. Comuníquese con los proveedores de servicios para confirmar que no existen otras opciones de contrato que ofrezcan cargos de servicio mensuales más bajos. Muchas empresas ofrecen distintos niveles de servicio y contratos a diferentes precios, pero no le informarán sobre ellos a menos que los solicite. Por ejemplo, puede evitar una factura de cable de $ 190 pagando solo por los canales que ve con más frecuencia.

6. Aprenda a decir "no", al menos a veces, a sus hijos y nietos. Gastar dinero, planes de telefonía móvil, seguro de automóvil, dinero para la gasolina y pagos del automóvil son algunas de las cosas que puede complementar para un hijo o nieto que podría considerar eliminar o al menos reducir.

Haga arreglos para que las facturas mensuales se paguen desde la primera cuenta mediante un servicio de pago de facturas o transferencia electrónica de fondos. Por el contrario, use una tarjeta de débito para gastos personales. Con dos cuentas separadas, puede administrar y controlar mejor sus gastos discrecionales.

8. Considere la posibilidad de crear una cuenta de ahorros separada en una institución financiera diferente a la que tiene su (s) cuenta (s) corriente (s) para que sea más difícil transferir dinero. Puede configurar un depósito directo o un giro automático desde su cheque de pago para hacer esto cada mes sin ningún esfuerzo por su parte.

-- Como en las universidades tradicionales, los programas educativos en prisión han tenido que hacer grandes cambios a raíz de la epidemia, incluso mientras el Congreso decide si hace permanente el programa que les sostiene. Robert Rundquist, del "Chaffey College" en el sur de California, dice que su institución se ha convertido a un modelo de curso por correspondencia hasta que no haya peligro en el aprendizaje presencial.

"Antes los profesores iban y daban sus clases presenciales. También teníamos centros de tutorías y laboratorios de cómputo, así como consejería y debido a la pandemia ya no hemos podido tener acceso al edificio para ese tipo de oportunidades."

Varias escuelas de California, como Cal State L-A y Southwestern Community College en San Diego, trabajan con las cárceles para ofrecer títulos de Asociado y de Licenciatura a los estudiantes prisioneros.

Rundquist dice que las comunidades se benefician cuando a la gente encarcelada se le da la oportunidad de estudiar y obtener un título.

"Por cada dólar gastado en la educación carcelaria, se ahorran cinco dólares en otros costos del estado por encarcelar personas.

OSTON - Hace setenta y cinco años este sábado, el Japón imperial anunció su rendición, poniendo fin a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Ahora, un sobreviviente estadounidense de Iwo Jima está hablando sobre las lecciones que se deben aprender, entonces y ahora.

El teniente retirado de la Armada (J.G.) Robert Pennoyer, de 95 años, tenía solo 19 años cuando su unidad ayudó a ocupar la isla de Hokkaido, en el norte de Japón. Dijo que es un tributo a la cultura japonesa que hayan podido aceptar la ayuda del general Douglas MacArthur y la transición a una democracia.

"Pudieron cambiar y convertirse en una nación amante de la paz, y ese fue realmente un cambio notable", dijo Pennoyer.

"Pero conseguir el control de las fuerzas armadas, deshacerse de las fuerzas armadas, no dejar que las fuerzas armadas dominen su política exterior, esa era la clave".

Pennoyer dijo que aunque no tuvimos otra opción en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Estados Unidos se ha vuelto demasiado rápido en las últimas décadas para usar la fuerza militar para imponer nuestra voluntad a otros países.

"El problema no son los militares, sino los líderes civiles en la Casa Blanca que, debido a la arrogancia sobre nuestro poder, lo usan y abusan y nos llevan a guerras injustas como la guerra de Irak y Vietnam", dijo Pennoyer.

Pennoyer recomendó un mayor uso de la diplomacia y dijo que deberíamos gastar mucho menos dinero en el ejército y mucho más en ayuda exterior y preocupaciones internas como la educación.

OSTON -- Seventy-five years ago this Saturday, Imperial Japan announced its surrender, ending World War II. Now, an American survivor of Iwo Jima is speaking out on the lessons to be learned, then and now.

Retired Navy Lieutenant (J.G.) Robert Pennoyer, 95, was just 19 when his unit helped occupy Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. He said it is a tribute to the Japanese culture that they were able to accept General Douglas MacArthur's help and transition to a democracy.

"They were able to change and become a peace-loving nation, and that was really a remarkable change," Pennoyer said.

"But getting control of the military, getting rid of the military, not letting the military dominate their foreign policy, that was the key."

Pennoyer said he was amazed at how well the Japanese people treated American soldiers after the war.

A grandson of J.P. Morgan, he went on to become assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York under President Dwight Eisenhower and served on the boards at Columbia University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pennoyer said although we had no choice in World War II, the U.S. has become too quick in recent decades to use military force to impose our will on other countries.

Pennoyer dijo que estaba asombrado de lo bien que los japoneses trataron a los soldados estadounidenses después de la guerra.

"The trouble is not the military but the civilian leadership in the White House who, because of the hubris about our power, misuse it and abuse it and take us into unjust wars like the Iraq War and Vietnam," Pennoyer said.

Nieto de J.P. Morgan, se convirtió en fiscal federal adjunto en el Distrito Sur de Nueva York bajo la presidencia de Dwight Eisenhower y fue miembro de las juntas directivas de la Universidad de Columbia y el Museo Metropolitano de Arte.

Pennoyer counseled greater use of diplomacy and said we should spend much less money on the military and much more on foreign aid and domestic concerns such as education.

ashington, DC – The AfricanAmerican senator and former Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris, was elected on Tuesday by the virtual democratic presidential candidate of the United States, Joe Biden, to accompany him as his candidate for Vice Presidency in the elections that will take place on the 3rd of November.

This turns the senator into the first African-American woman nominated as Vice President in one of the two big parties and she will have to cope with criticism about her controversial history as a strict district attorney in the era of protests against police brutality and the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Biden ya dijo cuando afianzó sus aspiraciones como candidato demócrata a presidente que su elección para vicepresidente sería una mujer, mientras que con el correr de los meses comenzó a quedar claro que las favoritas eras todas afroamericanas.

“I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked Kamala Harris — a fearless fighter for the ordinary citizen, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate”, said Biden in the message in which he announced his running mate.

of the votes.

The 55 year old senator, daughter of a Jamaican dad and an Indian mother, was the Attorney General of California before she won a seat in the Higher Chamber of the United States Congress in 2016, and she has become famous for being especially tough in her district attorney´s office as well as in her inquisitive interventions during Senate hearings.

The most progressive wings of the party haven´t stopped their attacks against Harris since she made her ambitions clear, especially with the growing debate and protests against police brutality, taking into account that during her time as General Attorney she was particularly harsh in her persecution of minor crimes, which especially affected communities of color.

Harris makes history as Biden´s choice as she is the first woman of color who aims to be the Vice President of the U.S., a candidacy that will be officially signed in the Democratic National Convention in the middle of this month and for which she competed with high profile women, such as the former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice and the congresswomen Val Demings and Karen Bass.

“Kamala is a cop” is one of the most repeated attacks against her from left-wing activist as well as from those of the extreme right who want to fire up the political debate on social media.

“Joe Biden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us.

And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals. I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief”, announced Harris on Twitter today, as soon as the decision of her nomination went public.

Biden had already said that his pick for Vice President would be a woman, when he consolidated his candidacy as democratic candidate for presidency and as the months went by it became clear that all of his favorites were African Americans.

Harris has had a stunning career up to the highest power in Washington: After graduating in Political Science and Economy at Howard University, one of the AfricanAmerican universities of excellence, she specialized in the war against crime and was elected Attorney General of California in the second round in 2003, a position for which she was reelected in 2007 with 98%

Last year in December she announced that she would withdraw from the presidential race in which she competed against Biden, who gave us a great surprise this Tuesday, as all bets were on Harris as the favorite and least risky choice.

Harris hasn´t denied her past and she has demonstrated her profile as “hard hand” against crime during her campaign with which she took the convictions of guilt to the maximum during her time as General Attorney but also with which many African-Americans spent many years in jail for crimes that are not even considered offence nowadays.

After George Floyds death at the hands of the Minneapolis Police, which unleashed protests all over the country, Harris assured that ”systemic racism” does exist in the United States and that “police brutality is a matter of life and death for black people in this country”.

Harris has the support of ex-President Barack Obama and her nomination is a setback for the wing closest to the social democracy of the Democratic Party that, in spite of having gained influence and seats in Parliament over the last years, sees how the “establishment” imposes its will again.

Joe Biden nailed this decision. By choosing Senator Kamala Harris as America's next Vice President, he's underscored his own judgment and character”, assured Obama.

"Tengo el gran honor de anunciar que he seleccionado a Kamala Harris -una intrépida luchadora por el ciudadano de a pie, y una de las mejoras funcionarias públicas- como mi compañera de candidatura", dijo Biden en el mensaje en el que anunció a su compañera de fórmula electoral.

La senadora, de 55 años, hija de padre jamaicano y madre india, fue fiscal general de California antes de ganar su escaño en la Cámara Alta del Congreso estadounidense en 2016, y se ha granjeado una fama de ser especialmente dura tanto desde la Fiscalía como en sus intervenciones inquisitivas en las audiencias del Senado.

Harris hace historia al ser elegida por Biden como la primera mujer de color que aspira a la Vicepresidencia de EE. UU., una candidatura que quedará finalmente rubricada en la Convención Nacional Demócrata de mediados de este mes y para la que competía con mujeres de muy alto perfil, como la exembajadora ante las Naciones Unidas Susan Rice y las congresistas Val Demings y Karen Bass.

"Joe Biden puede unir al pueblo estadounidense porque se ha pasado su vida luchando por nosotros. Como presidente, va a contribuir a un Estados Unidos que esté a la altura de nuestros ideales. Es un honor unirme a él como nominada del partido a vicepresidenta y haré lo que sea necesario

Harris ha tenido una trayectoria fulgurante hacia lo más alto del poder en Washington: graduada en Ciencias Políticas y Economía en Howard University, una de las universidades afroamericanas por excelencia, se especializó en la lucha contra el crimen y fue elegida en 2003 como fiscal general de California en segunda vuelta, cargo para el que fue reelegida en 2007 con el 98 % de los votos.

En diciembre pasado anunció que se retiraba de la contienda por la candidatura presidencial en la que competía contra Biden, quien este martes no dio una gran sorpresa, pues todas las quinielas situaban a Harris como la favorita y la elección menos arriesgada.

Las alas más progresistas del partido no han cesado sus ataques contra Harris desde que dejó claras sus ambiciones, especialmente con el aumento del debate y las protestas contra la brutalidad policial, al considerar que en su tiempo de fiscal fue especialmente dura en su persecución de crímenes menores, que afectan especialmente a las comunidades de color.

"Kamala es un poli" es uno de los ataques más repetidos contra ella tanto por activistas de izquierdas como por aquellos de extrema derecha que quieren incendiar el debate político en las redes sociales.

Harris no ha renegado de su pasado y ha hecho gala durante su campaña de su perfil de mano dura con el crimen, con el que llevó las condenas de culpabilidad a máximos durante su época como fiscal, pero también a que muchos afroamericanos pasaran largos años en prisión por crímenes que hoy no son ni considerados faltas.

Tras la muerte a manos de la Policía de Mineápolis de George Floyd, que desencadenó protestas en todo el país, Harris aseguró que existe un "racismo sistémico" en Estados Unidos y que "la brutalidad policial es un asunto de vida o muerte para las personas negras en este país".

Harris cuenta con el apoyo del expresidente Barack Obama y su designación es un varapalo para el ala más cercana a la socialdemocracia del Partido Demócrata, que pese a haber estado ganando influencia y escaños en los últimos años, ve cómo el "establishment" vuelve a imponer su voluntad.

"Joe Biden lo ha clavado con su decisión.

Al elegir a la senadora Kamala Harris como la próxima vicepresidenta, ha puesto en evidencia su juicio y carácter", aseguró Obama.

TRUMP ESCALATES WAR ON IMMIGRANTS AMIDST WORSENING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

T

SUNITA SOHRABJI Ethnic Media Services

he Trump Administration has made 400 policy changes detrimental to immigrants through its tenure at the White House, with 63 fresh blows meted out amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Migration Policy Institute in a report released July 31.

“Many of the changes reflect the administration's really strong knowledge of immigration law and regulations, and their willingness to enforce things that have been on the books for years, but have never been implemented,” said Sarah Pierce, a policy analyst at MPI, who co-authored the report with MPI associate policy analyst Jessica Bolter.

The entire report can be downloaded here: https:// www.migrationpolicy.org/research/us-immigrationsystem-changes-trump-presidency Pierce discussed the report at an Aug. 7 briefing on the accelerating erosion of immigrant rights, organized by Ethnic Media Services. Attorney Kalpana Peddibhotla spoke of the enormous changes in business immigration since the pandemic began taking its toll in the U.S. And Ignacia Rodriguez Kmec, an immigration policy advocate with the National Immigration Law Center, spoke about

President Donald Trump’s recent changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, following a Supreme Court decision which ruled against the Administration.

At the briefing, Pierce said that the Administration’s relentless battle against immigration — both legal and undocumented — was unprecedented. Some of the 400 changes are small and technical. “But when you take these all together, it has added up to really monumental,” she said.

One of the most profound changes the Administration has made during the pandemic is implementing a 1944 rule which allowed the Surgeon General to restrict any individual coming into the country who could be considered a public health threat. In March, the Centers for Disease Control — citing “a danger to public health” — used that rule to issue a directive which disallowed people without proper travel documents from entering the country.

“The effect of that has been essentially ending asylum at the southern border and that's actually something the Administration has been working on for years,” said Pierce, noting that the vast majority of asylum seekers have been expelled in recent months.

Pierce said a future Democratic Administration may not be able to immediately roll back the excesses

of Trump’s immigration policies. “Democrats have not been very active or interested in acting on immigration. They haven't really put forward a vision for what that immigration system should look like, so I think that there's just a lack of willingness there to undo each of these changes,” she said.

es, which in turn create jobs for U.S. workers — and the job multiplier effect.

Peddibhotla, who formerly served as the co-chair of the South Asian Bar Association’s committee on immigration, said the President has used the pandemic to forward his agenda on limiting business immigration. “The proclamations post covid-19 are essentially a sledgehammer to business immigration,” she said.

Rodriguez Kmec of NILC said the COVID pandemic has highlighted the importance of essential workers, especially those involved in agriculture. However, the Administration has done nothing to support them: undocumented workers were denied a $1,200 stimulus check, which was distributed to most Americans in April and May. Moreover, undocumented workers are also ineligible for federal unemployment stimulus support, which — until July 31 — added an extra $600 per week bonus to state unemployment checks.

On June 22, citing the stark rise in unemployment levels amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump signed a proclamation temporarily banning new foreign workers from entering the U.S. Visa categories included in the ban are H-1B workers and their spouses; H-2B visas for non-agricultural workers; J visas for student exchange programs; and L visas for intra-company transfers. The ban does not impact foreign guest-workers already in the U.S. On Aug. 3, the president issued a largely posturing proclamation barring the federal government from hiring H-1B workers. Fewer than 2,000 H-1B workers are currently employed by the Federal government.

“These are the critical workers. They are the workers that are allowing us to have Zoom calls. They're the ones that we need to allow us to get back on our feet and be able to work remotely and provide the technologies that we all need,” stated Peddibhotla.

The attorney cited multiple studies showing that H-1B and other business-related guest-workers are helping to grow the American economy, through innovation, entrepreneurship — foreign born workers are twice as likely as U.S. natives to found business-

“The overall ripple effect is there's actually job creation and our economy does better with immigrants,” she stated.

On June 18, the Supreme Court upheld DACA on a 5-4 vote, ruling that the Trump Administration had acted improperly to terminate the Obama-era program, which provides relief from deportation to thousands of undocumented youth who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives. A month later, Trump, via executive order, reshaped the program, allowing no new applicants and shortening the length of a renewal to just one year, rather than the previous two years.

Rodriguez Kmec said this would have a devastating impact on young people, who would be forced to pay out $495 — the filing fee — every year to renew their status.

“At a time when many are facing unprecedented financial hardship, this additional fee could hinder eligible individuals from applying, putting at risk their employment authorization and protection from deportation in the middle of a health and economic crisis,” she said.

LA GUERRA DE TRUMP CONTRA INMIGRANTES NO HA PARADO DURANTE LA PANDEMIA Defensores de inmigrantes continúan desafiando en cortes las directivas más recientes del presidente Donald Trump. Esperan que esta comunidad sea incluida en los paquetes de alivio de COVID que se debaten en el Congreso.

Jenny Manrique Ethnic Media Services

la Corte Suprema restauró por considerarlo “arbitrario”, varias medidas han intentado cortar o restringir sus beneficios.

C

on más de 400 acciones ejecutivas, el presidente Donald Trump ha cambiado drásticamente el sistema de inmigración en el país desde que llegó a la Casa Blanca. Y en los últimos meses, con el pretexto de proteger a los estadounidenses de la pandemia del COVID-19, esta guerra contra los inmigrantes que son los trabajadores esenciales del país, no ha hecho otra cosa que escalar.

Esas son las principales conclusiones del más reciente informe del Instituto de Políticas de Migración (MPI en inglés) que le puso la lupa a un extenso catálogo de cambios en las políticas migratorias hechos por Trump desde enero de 2017.

Según Sarah Pierce, analista de MPI y una de las autoras del estudio, estas directrices han estado en los libros durante años pero nunca antes se implementaron, lo que refleja “el conocimiento de la administración (Trump) para hacer cumplir las leyes de inmigración”.

“Cerrar los beneficios humanitarios, sellar la frontera sur, hacer que la vida en el interior sea incómoda para los migrantes legales y los no autorizados y reducir la inmigración legal en el país… la pandemia no ha hecho otra cosa que acelerar estos cambios”, observó Pierce durante una conferencia vía zoom organizada por Ethnic Media Services.

La llegada del COVID-19 le dio a Trump nuevas oportunidades para impulsar esas políticas, de las cuales tres son las más impactantes en tiempos de pandemia, dijo Pierce.

La primera ha sido bloquear la inmigración en la frontera bajo el Título 42 del Código de los Estados Unidos, que prohíbe la entrada de extranjeros si existe un "grave peligro de entrada de enfermedades a los Estados Unidos". Esto en línea con las directivas de los Centros para el control y la prevención de enfermedades (CDC en inglés) que buscan evitar la transmisión del coronavirus.

“Como resultado los solicitantes de asilo han sido expulsados de la frontera sur… quienes argumentan miedo a ser torturados de regreso a su país (la mera persecución ya no es una razón suficiente) tienen alguna chance de aplicar a beneficios humanitarios”, dijo Pierce. “Pero la verdad no sabemos mucho sobre los procedimientos del CBP (Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza), no sabemos quién es elegido y por qué”.

El más reciente memorando del 28 de julio del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS en inglés) le ordena al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigracion de Estados Unidos (USCIS en inglés) rechazar cualquier aplicación nueva de DACA, es decir que aquellos que nunca lo han tenido no pueden iniciar su proceso, lo que deja a 300,000 jóvenes por fuera del alivio migratorio.

Adicionalmente, renovar los permisos de trabajo a un costo de $495, ahora será posible solamente por un año, cuando en el pasado se hacía por dos.

La segunda es una proclamación del 22 de abril con la que Trump restringe la emisión de visas argumentando que por la crisis económica que ha disparado el desempleo, los estadounidenses estarían en seria desventaja para reintegrarse al mercado laboral si hay más inmigrantes. Esto afecta la regulación de visas con base en lazos familiares, en específico a padres, hermanos y cónyuges de ciudadanos estadounidenses e hijos de residentes legales permanentes. Adicionalmente restringe los cupos para la lotería de visas de diversidad.

“Esto busca la reducción de lo que la administración ha llamado ‘migración en cadena’, para lo que antes necesitaba la cooperación del Congreso”, explicó Pierce.

Y una más reciente directiva del 22 de junio, busca restringir la entrada de trabajadores en las distintas categorías de visas H-1Bs, H-2Bs, H-4s (trabajadores extranjeros, especializados y por temporada), L1 (gerentes ejecutivos) y J1 (visitantes de intercambio). Los únicos excluidos de esta medida fueron los trabajadores agrícolas.

“Esto tiene impactos significativos en la industria tecnológica y en la innovación”, sostuvo Kalpana Peddibhotla, abogada de inmigración de la firma Mathews Peddibhotla. “Los trabajadores de alta tecnología ayudan a las compañías a alcanzar ciertas metas y son multiplicadores de trabajo… De hecho los inmigrantes (emprendedores) tienen el doble de probabilidades de iniciar negocios que los nativos nacidos en los Estados Unidos”.

Con este último memo, Trump no solo restringe la inmigracion empresarial, sino que ataca directamente la inmigracion le-

gal al país. Sus directivas han complicado la emisión de visas de trabajo, requiriendo tres veces más documentos que la administración anterior, incluso para trabajadores altamente calificados. El papeleo que los empleadores antes tardaban dos semanas en completar, ahora toma meses, y las extensiones de visas ya no son automáticas sino que el aplicante tiene que comenzar su proceso desde cero.

“Desde presidencia argumentan que 525,000 trabajos serán protegidos con estas acciones. Pero hasta el momento a 167,000 inmigrantes se les ha negado la entrada. Ni siquiera bajo la falacia del reemplazo de trabajos uno a uno, las matemáticas dan”, anotó Peddibhotla.

Un estudio del American Enterprise Institute encontró que por cada 100 trabajadores patrocinados con visa H-1B se crean 183 empleos para los nativos estadounidenses y en el caso de 100 visas H-2B, el resultado es la creación de 464 trabajos para los locales.

Estos cambios siguen siendo desafiados en las cortes por individuos y organizaciones civiles y más recientemente por la Asociación Nacional de Fabricantes, y la Cámara de Comercio de EE. UU. “Seguimos gobernando las leyes de inmigración a través de la acción ejecutiva y los miembros (demócratas) del congreso continúan diciendo: por favor sigan demandando”, dijo Peddibhotla. “Es importante que continúen las demandas”.

Veto a nuevos aplicantes de DACA Otros de los afectados por esas acciones ejecutivas son los beneficiarios del programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA por sus siglas en inglés). Desde el memo de Trump que rescindió el programa en 2017 y que

“La capacidad de pagar las tarifas relacionadas con DACA ha sido durante mucho tiempo un obstáculo para muchos beneficiarios”, explicó Ignacia Rodríguez, defensora de políticas en el Centro Nacional de Leyes de Inmigración. “En estas dificultades financieras sin precedentes (por COVID) el cambio es un riesgo para la autorización de empleo y la protección contra deportaciones”.

Rodríguez contó que su organización está presionando al Congreso para que en los paquetes de alivio de COVID-19, las familias de estatus mixto sean incluidas al igual que una extensión automática de los beneficios de trabajo para beneficiarios de DACA y del estatus de protección temporal (TPS).

“La gente no tiene acceso a servicios legales, las oficinas están cerradas (durante la pandemia)” argumentó Rodríguez.

“Nos preocupa que los problemas de presupuesto de USCIS y los cambios en los manuales de políticas hagan los procesos más demorados… Más aún el factor discrecional de USCIS para otorgar otros alivios migratorios”.

Las analistas fueron moderadas al discutir cambios bajo una probable administración de Joe Biden pues el país enfrenta urgencias como la crisis del sistema de salud por la pandemia, una tasa de desempleo por encima de dos dígitos, y los apremiantes cambios para atacar el racismo estructural.

“Pareciera fácil porque todos los cambios se han hecho con órdenes ejecutivas”, dijo Pierce del MPI. “Pero lo han hecho de una manera tan rápida que un gobierno demócrata necesitará muchos recursos y voluntad política para dedicar tanto tiempo a la inmigración”, concluyó.

EARTHTALK Q&A: DOES WATERFALLS MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD?

EARTHTALK Q&A: ¿LAS CASCADAS PROVOCAN BIENESTAR?

Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that being around a waterfall makes you feel good? – S.B., Lewiston, ME

Dear EarthTalk: ¿Es cierto que estar cerca de una cascada te hace sentir bien? - S.B., Lewiston, ME

T

he notion of waterfalls making you happy is often viewed as an “old wives’ tale,” but there may be some truth to it given the so-called “negative ions” pervasive in such environments. The collision of water molecules with each other causes water to be positively charged and surrounding air to be negatively charged. According to Pierce Howard, Ph.D., author of The Owner's Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind-Brain Research, it makes sense that waterfalls can make you feel good, given that negative ions hitting our bloodstream can produce biochemical reactions linked to alleviating depression, relieving stress and boosting energy.

“High concentrations of negative ions are essential for high energy and positive mood,” he reports. “Negative ions suppress serotonin levels in much the same way that natural sunlight suppresses melatonin. Hence the invigorating effect of fresh air and sunshine and the correspondingly depressed feelings associated with being closed in and dark.”

“The atmosphere we breathe normally is full of positive and negative ions,” he adds. “Airconditioning, lack of ventilation, and long dry spells remove negative ions...the best ratios of negative to positive ions are associated with waterfalls and the time before, during and after storms,” says Howard. “The worst are found in windowless rooms and closed, moving vehicles.”

Our love of waterfalls only underscores that people thrive when they are exposed to nature on a regular basis. A 2013 study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology definitively linked exposure to nature directly with improved mental health, comparing the mental health of those who moved from city landscapes to greener, more natural settings with those who relocated in the reverse direction. Researchers found that those who relocated to settings with a higher exposure

to nature were noticeably happier during the three-year study period. “[E]nvironmental policies to increase urban green space may have sustainable public health benefits," they concluded.

In another recent study, researchers sampled the effects of nature on 537 University of Rochester students in both real and imagined situations, and found that individuals who spent time outdoors—or even just imagined themselves in nature—consistently experienced higher energy levels and increased feelings of happiness. Study participants who spent just 20 minutes outdoors a day experienced significant increases in energy levels as well as noticeable mood boosts. Even indoor plants played a role in helping study participants feel more energized.

Another way to look at it would be to consider our sedentary, indoor lifestyle as a drain on our energy reserves and taxing to our mood and general sense of well-being. In the landmark 2005 book Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv coined the term “nature deficit disorder” to explain how our lack of time outdoors has led to behavioral problems in kids and adults alike. Louv’s prescription? Spend more time outdoors (away from screens) interacting with nature and each other.

In case you needed another reason to get off the couch and out into the woods on a waterfall hike, now you have it. You’ll be sharper. You’ll be more productive. You’ll be invigorated. And you’ll be happier.

L

a noción de cascadas que te hacen feliz a menudo se ve como un "cuento de viejas", pero puede ser algo de verdad dados los llamados "iones negativos" que dominan tales entornos. La colisión de las moléculas de agua entre sí hace que el agua se cargue positivamente y el aire circundante se cargue negativamente. Según Pierce Howard, Ph.D., autor de The Owner's Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from MindBrain Research, tiene sentido que las cascadas puedan hacerte sentir bien, dado que los iones negativos que golpean nuestro torrente sanguíneo pueden producir reacciones bioquímicas vinculadas para aliviar la depresión, aliviar el estrés y aumentar la energía.

"Las altas concentraciones de iones negativos son esenciales para tener mucha energía y un estado de ánimo positivo", informa. “Los iones negativos suprimen los niveles de serotonina de la misma manera que la luz solar natural suprime la melatonina. De ahí el efecto vigorizante del aire fresco y la luz del sol y los correspondientes sentimientos de depresión asociados con estar encerrado y oscuro ".

“La atmósfera que respiramos normalmente está llena de iones positivos y negativos”, agrega. “El aire acondicionado, la falta de ventilación y los períodos secos prolongados eliminan los iones negativos ... las mejores proporciones de iones negativos a positivos están asociadas con las cascadas y el tiempo antes, durante y después de las tormentas”, dice Howard. "Lo peor se encuentra en habitaciones sin ventanas y vehículos cerrados en movimiento".

Nuestro amor por las cascadas solo subraya que las personas prosperan cuando están expuestas a la naturaleza de forma regular. Un estudio de 2013 en la revista Environmental Science & Technology vinculó definitivamente la exposición a la naturaleza directamente con una mejor salud mental, comparando la salud mental de quienes se mudaron de paisajes urbanos a entornos más verdes y naturales con quienes se mudaron en la dirección opuesta. Los investigadores encontraron que aquellos que se trasladaron a entornos con una mayor exposición a la naturaleza fueron notablemente más felices durante el período

de estudio de tres años. “Las políticas [e] ambientales para aumentar los espacios verdes urbanos pueden tener beneficios sostenibles para la salud pública”, concluyeron.

En otro estudio reciente, los investigadores tomaron muestras de los efectos de la naturaleza en 537 estudiantes de la Universidad de Rochester en situaciones tanto reales como imaginarias, y encontraron que las personas que pasaban tiempo al aire libre, o incluso simplemente se imaginaban a sí mismos en la naturaleza, experimentaban consistentemente niveles de energía más altos y mayores sentimientos de felicidad. Los participantes del estudio que pasaban solo 20 minutos al aire libre al día experimentaron aumentos significativos en los niveles de energía, así como un notable aumento del estado de ánimo. Incluso las plantas de interior contribuyeron a que los participantes del estudio se sintieran con más energía.

Otra forma de verlo sería considerar nuestro estilo de vida interior sedentario como un drenaje de nuestras reservas de energía y que pone a prueba nuestro estado de ánimo y la sensación general de bienestar. En el histórico libro de 2005 El último niño en el bosque, Richard Louv acuñó el término “trastorno por déficit de naturaleza” para explicar cómo nuestra falta de tiempo al aire libre ha provocado problemas de comportamiento tanto en niños como en adultos. ¿La receta de Louv?

Pase más tiempo al aire libre (lejos de las pantallas) interactuando con la naturaleza y entre ellos.

En caso de que necesitara otra razón para levantarse del sofá y salir al bosque en una caminata en cascada, ahora la tiene. Serás más agudo. Serás más productivo. Estarás revitalizado. Y serás más feliz.

"No tienen la oportunidad de recrearse al aire libre, no tienen la capacidad de absorber la contaminación de estas características naturales y no tienen el control del estrés, los beneficios para la salud mental", dijo Edberg.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Low-income families of color in California, especially those with children, are twice as likely as their white counterparts to live in areas without easy access to parks and other natural areas, according to a new report.

Researchers looked at how much land has been lost to development, particularly near urban areas, and found the so-called "Nature Gap" is even worse on the national level. Report co-author Shanna Edberg, director of conservation programs at the Hispanic Access Foundation, said this partly explains why people of color have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

"They don't have opportunities to recreate outside, and they don't have the pollution-absorbing abilities of these natural features and they don't have the stress control, the mental-health benefits," Edberg said.

The report suggests setting a goal to protect 30% of the country's land and waters by 2030.

The authors also recommend hiring more people of color in the park service, better funding school outdoor-education programs, and coordinating more effectively with Native American tribes.

Another of the report's authors, Jenny Rowland-Shea, senior policy analyst for public lands at the Center for American Progress, said the key is to make sure the benefits are evenly distributed.

"One piece of LWCF which is specifically meant for parks and recreational opportunities in lowincome and urban areas will be particularly important," Rowland-Shea said.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - Las familias de color de bajos ingresos en California, especialmente aquellas con niños, tienen el doble de probabilidades que sus contrapartes blancas de vivir en áreas sin fácil acceso a parques y otras áreas naturales, según un nuevo informe.

Los investigadores observaron cuánta tierra se ha perdido debido al desarrollo, particularmente cerca de áreas urbanas, y encontraron que la llamada "Brecha de la naturaleza" es aún peor a nivel nacional. La coautora del informe, Shanna Edberg, directora de programas de conservación de la Hispanic Access Foundation, dijo que esto explica en parte por qué las personas de color

El informe sugiere establecer una meta para proteger el 30% de la tierra y las aguas del país para 2030. Los autores también recomiendan contratar a más personas de color en el servicio del parque, financiar mejor los programas escolares de educación al aire libre y coordinarse de manera más eficaz con las tribus nativas americanas.

Un aspecto positivo es la aprobación de la Great American Outdoors Act, promulgada la semana pasada, que reautoriza permanentemente el Land and Water Conservation Fund, el programa que financia parques públicos en todo el país.

Otra de las autoras del informe, Jenny RowlandShea, analista sénior de políticas de tierras públicas en el Center for American Progress, dijo que la clave es asegurarse de que los beneficios se distribuyan de manera uniforme.

"Una parte de LWCF que está diseñada específicamente para parques y oportunidades recreativas en áreas urbanas y de bajos ingresos será particularmente importante", dijo Rowland-Shea.

El informe pide que se dé prioridad a la naturaleza, porque los datos muestran que cada 30 segundos en los EE. UU., Un pedazo de tierra del tamaño de un campo de fútbol es arado para casas, autopistas, desarrollo energético, agricultura o tala.
