Two countries in criminal war

International The punitive proposal could be approved in the Yankee Senate Two countries in criminal war By: Carlos Damian July 17, 2013 The policemen will multiply in the “tortilla’s wall” México. - The proposal of an integral reformation goes in path toward its approval for the American Senate, but the price is a dramatic increment in the “militarization” of the frontier and the migrant population's bigger control in that country, while the destination of the initiative faces a more and more uncertain future in the Chamber of Representatives, where all this effort could be annulled. Last Monday (6/24/13), the Senate agreed to proceed toward the approval of an amendment that, according to the legislatives’ strategists, they almost assure the approval of the integral reformation that could be carried out in this same week. These migratory measures move away from the “good neighbor" The amendment, result of a negotiation to facilitate the vote of republican legislators of the whole package approval, proposes an additional expense of between 30 thousand and 46 thousand million dollars along 10 years for security in the frontier, including the recruiting of other 20 thousand agents of the Border patrol, that which almost would duplicate the current total number (which is double what there was 10 years ago), to enlarge the use of new technologies of surveillance, among them the airships to remote control (drones), and to conclude the construction of a barrier of more than a thousand kilometers (700 miles) in the border line. The amendment is baptized as “border arises", in reference to the massive resources that would be devoted to the security of the frontier with Mexico. All this would have to complete and in accordance with the requirements inside the law’s proposal, as the electronic system of verification of the documents of workers when requesting employment and a system of registration of entrances and exits in air and marine ports, before those are emitted 'green cards' that are the papers of illegal aliens legalization. In exchange for this new amendment, the legislators’ strategists calculate that they were added between 12 and 15 republican senators to the law’s proposal, with that which their approval was guaranteed in that Chamber next days, perhaps next Thursday (6/27/13). That would be a victory for the White House, the group bi-party of legislators that elaborated the law’s proposal, and the formidable coalition of national groupings from the Chamber of Commerce until labor power stations, churches and some Latin organizations that have promoted the reformation, since underlines that this maintains like key part a path toward the legalization and potential naturalization of 11 million illegal aliens. It is not acceptable the amendments made to the migratory law President Barak Obama has deposited considerable political capital in promoting the migratory reformation this year and he has repeated that although nobody will even obtain all that wants, him inclusive, the current law’s proposal is been of negotiations among the two official parties where all have had to make concessions. That message has been repeated by the wide fan of national groupings that they impel the reformation. In fact, the ‘National Council of the Race’ that says to be the biggest Latin organization in the country, emitted a message to its bases, on Monday requesting that they pressed its senators to approve this amendment certainly without explaining its contained anti-migrant, arguing that it would be the key to achieve that the project of the migratory reformation prospered in the Senate. Maria Elena Durazo, secretary executive treasurer of the labor power station AFL-CIO, commented that “there is not higher priority that to win this way to the citizenship, since that implies that millions of workers can leave the shades" that at the moment they suffer abuses and they are not well paid, she said in a forum with journalists. Frank Sharry, executive director of ‘America's Voice’, organization dedicated to promote the migratory reformation, recognizes that the measures and amendments focused in security and migratory control are not welcome, but that at the same time it is accepted that they should be included to achieve the approval of a project with enormous benefits for the immigrant community. He affirm that the “reason for which we have been able to have this debate now on the migratory reformation in the Congress is for the depth, width and it forces of the movement in support to the reformation that it has its center in the way toward the citizenship". But for some groupings of migrants, Latin organizations and defenders of the rights of the immigrants, of that movement, this law’s proposal, especially after the last amendment, it is no longer acceptable. The States is a country in quarantine for national security Antonio Gonzalez, veteran national Latin leader and president of the Institute William C. Velasquez, considers that the project in the Senate continuous “its tortuous transformation of a reformation concept ostensibly very deliberate to a punitive project of national security", and he noticed that Latin leaders are questioned more and more if this initiative is worthwhile to approve it just as it is. For Oscar Chacon, executive director of the Latin American and Caribbean National Alliance of Communities (Nalacc), he affirmed: "we don't agree” with those who argue in Washington that one has to accept bigger militarization of the frontier in exchange for the approval of the migratory reformation, “since that it is only a great concession to the political forces motivated by the racism and the xenophobia". Other organizations like presente.org and regional groupings in Texas and Carolina of the North, among other, they are making echo of these critical. Although everything indicates that the migratory reformation will be approved by the Senate, it is also clear that still faces an uncertain future. The senatorial president, John Boehner, already warned to his republican colleagues that control it with a significant majority that any project of migratory reformation won't be presented before the full of the Chamber if a majority of the republican representatives doesn't support it, and certainly there is a wide sector ultra-conservative that doesn't hide its position any project of integral migratory reformation. An adviser to the republican leadership of the Chamber commented to 'The Washington Post' that if the law’s proposal is approved with more than 70 votes in the Senate, the path is to 218 votes that it is the approval required for a law’s proposal, if it is full with dangers. The desire of the promoters of the reformation in the Congress is that the Senate approves it before the recess of June 4 (independence Day, holiday), and that the Chamber of Representatives begins the debate of a parallel version during the following month, to culminate the negotiations among both Chambers and to formulate a consent version that would be clever to be approved and to be promulgated as law in next Autumn. However if the things don't change dramatic way in the political dynamics of the representatives, what is clear for the time being is that although soon it will be able to take place a victory of the reformation in the Senate, their tally is still an obstacle that could mark, at the end, its defeat, once again. Countries in war for migration Legislators of the Congress of the Union and specialists reacted in against the plan of The States to seal the Mexican frontier. The coordinator of the PRD in the Senate, Miguel Barbosa, pointed out that that decision makes evident for that country it is that the migrants are criminal; while Fernando Garcia, director of the Border Net for the Human Rights (BNHR), he said that this “only leaves among countries in war". It is a limitless aggression to the communities of the frontier. He complains that this new aggression you add it "long way” that will have to travel the eventual beneficiaries of a migratory reformation to reach the citizenship that could extend until for 10 years. Senator Marcela Guerra, president of Relations Foreigner Commission for America of the North, said that unfortunately the current government doesn't have majority in the Congress and due to it approved it an expense of 30 thousand million dollars to seal the border fringe. "The vision that they have of a migratory politics is the one of seeing the migrants as criminals, as things, they don't see as people to the migrants that ends up contributing to strengthen the economy of that nation".
