WASHINGTON (AP):Democrats and Latino law-makers last Wednesdaycriticized House approvalof a measure that authorizesregulation of an identifica-tion card used by Mexicancitizens for opening bankaccounts and other purposesin the United States.

MEXICO (AP): Elgobierno de México estádispuesto a examinar laspreocupaciones expresadaspor las autoridadesestadounidenses sobretarjetas de identificaciónconsular entregadas amexicanos que viven en losEstados Unidos, dijo elmiércoles el secretario deRelaciones Exteriores, LuisErnesto Derbez.
El funcionario respondióasí a la aprobación por laCámara de Representantesde una medida de controlsobre la tarjeta de identidad,conocida como “matrículaconsular”, y utilizada porciudadanos mexicanos paraabrir cuentas bancarias,enviar dinero u obtener unalicencia de manejo enalgunos estados.
El gobierno de Méxicocontinuará emitiendo esasmatrículas a fin de ayudar asus ciudadanos que viven enel extranjero, siguiendo lasnormas de la Convención deViena sobre relacionesconsulares, dijo Derbez.
El funcionario dijo que
«seguiremos emitiendo lastarjetas a través de losconsulados». Al mismotiempo, indicó ladisposición del gobiernomexicano a continuarcooperando a fin de satisfacerlos requisitos de seguridadinterna tanto en EstadosUnidos como en México,«pero siempre dentro de loslímites de la leyinternacional».
La medida de control delas tarjetas fue aprobada elmartes por la noche por laCámara de Representantes.
Uno de los auspiciantesde la medida, el republicanoJohn Hostettler, citótestimonios recientes delFBI ante la cámara en elsentido de que las cédulaspueden dar lugar a fraudes.

Celia Cruz in Cuba in the1950s.

fanáticos, colegas y amigos.El exilio cubano
esperaba con dolor la llegadadel cuerpo de Cruz para darlesu último adiós, el sábado enel emblemático edificio dela Torre de la Libertad, dondemiles de cubanos acudíanpara tramitar sus documentosy recibir ayuda en el centrode refugiados que allífuncionó entre 1962 y 1974.
«Celia va a dejar un granvacío», manifestó a la AP elalcalde del condado de Mi-ami Dade, Alex Penelas.
«Ella fue un puente entreEstados Unidos y Cuba paralos que no tuvieron elprivilegio de conocer la isla.Como Celia no hay ninguna.La vamos a extrañar, peroseguirá viviendo a través desu música y sus canciones»,declaró el joven político, deorigen cubano.
La artista cubana murióel miércoles en la tarde en suvivienda de Fort Lee, NuevaJersey. Tenía 78 años ypadecía cáncer cerebral.
Cruz, exiliada en EstadosUnidos desde la década de
1960, nunca vivió en Miami,pero la consideraba como susegunda casa. Había pedidoque su cuerpo fuera velado enesta ciudad y luego enterradoen Nueva York.
Sus familiares organizanjunto a las autoridades de estaciudad un homenaje para elsábado en la Torre de laLibertad, que estaráacompañado por una misa yotros actos.
«Celia era un símbolo de laCuba libre, va a seguirviviendo en nuestroscorazones por generaciones ...ella quería un velorio grandeen Miami y luego su entierroen Nueva York», dijo a la APJorge Plasencia, amigo per-sonal de la cantante cubanadurante más de 14 años.
El empresario artísticoEmilio Estefan, por su parte,consideró que «Celiamantuvo a Cuba entre todosnosotros. Fue la más grande yestá recogiendo lo quesembró».
Aunque las ceremoniasoficiales comenzarán el fin desemana, la población yaempezó ha rendir tributo a su«reina», intérprete de loséxitos «La negra tiene
tumbao», y «Que le den can-dela», entre otros.
La torre de la libertad lucíala bandera estadounidense amedia asta. La estrella debronce con el nombre de Cruzestampada en la típica CalleOcho de la Pequeña Habanaestaba cubierta de flores rojas,amarillas, blancas y rosadasdepositadas por fanáticos, queen cualquier lugar queestuviesen hablaban de laguarachera de América.
«Ella era una cubana converg Juenza, con moral, unadama. Nunca va a haber unaigual», dijo a la AP Marta Chiu,una cubana de 73 años que seacercó a dejarle un ramo deflores. «Ella tenía lo que
tenemos todos los cubanos: eldeseo de llegar a ver una Cubalibre».
«Celia eternal», decía laprimera página del diario ElNuevo Herald, dedicadacompletamente a la muerte dela artista cubana. «Se nos fuela guarachera de Cuba»,«Gracias Celia por tu arte»,eran algunos de los titularesincluidos en las cinco páginasdestinadas a informar lanoticia.
«Adiós to the Queen ofSalsa», (Adiós a la reina de lasalsa) rezaba la portada delThe Miami Herald, escrito eninglés.

como ella quería, cantando,bailando ... ¿Para qué derramarlágrimas», dijo un oyente denombre Valdés a Radio Unica,minutos antes de quecomenzara a resonar por esaradioemisora el himno a laesperanza de Cruz, «La vidaes un carnaval», en quepregona que no hay que llorarporque las penas se vancantando.
Pero las lágrimas igual sedesparramaban por las callesde esta ciudad.
«Me siento mal, he
llorado», expresó DayseeSolis, una exiliada de 64años que no podía ocultarel brillo de las lágrimas ensus ojos. «Siempre estuvoen favor de Cuba, era unagran mujer ... hoy Dios nosla quitó y es ciudadana delcielo», dijo la mujer quellegó desde la isla a Miamien 1971, mientrasrecordaba numerosasanécdotas junto a decenasde cubanos apostadosalrededor de la estrella deCruz.
noticia de su muerte ha causadouna enorme tristeza.
«No creo que haya nadieque tenga contacto con estemundo, que no tenga que sentirla inevitable partida de unaseñora tan grande y tan buenacomo Celia Cruz», dijo el com-positor mexicano ArmandoManzanero en declaraciones alnoticiario Radio Red, el jueves.
«No sólo Cuba, AméricaLatina, México y el mundohan perdido dos músicosextraordinarios, pierden dosemblemas de cubanía, dosembajadores de lo que significa
ser cubano en el mundo», dijopor su parte Amaury Pérez, alreferirse también a la muertereciente del ilustre soneroCompay Segundo.
«Ambos tuvieron una vidafecunda», declaró el productorcubano a la emisora Horizonteslamentando la desaparición deambos artistas.
«Queda la intensidad de suvida y de su legado cultural ymusical y el echo de que nopasaron inadvertidos por elmundo, que su vida no fueestéril», apuntó Pérez.
La expresión de Manzaneroresumió aquí el sentir de lacomunidad artística tras lamuerte de la famosa cantante
ocurrida en la víspera en suresidencia de Nueva Jersey,aquejada por un cáncer cere-bral. Tenía 78 años.
Celia Cruz comentó el añopasado que «Sé que en Méxicome quieren mucho y no megustaría que por mi causa sepusieran tristes y que lloraran....Me encantaría morir en elescenario, pero fuera de aquí.No quiero darles ese dolor... eldía que me muera quierodespedirme con azúcar. Perosólo Dios sabe cuando sera».
Una tras otra, desde elamanecer, numerosasradioemisoras localestransmitían éxitos de «La reinade la salsa», desde las
inolvidables «Tu voz», «Elyerbero moderno» y«Burundanga», que hicierapopulares con la SonoraMatancera, hasta «Mi vida escantar», «Usted abusó», y lacontagiosa «La vida es uncarnaval».
La prensa por su partedestacó con grandes titularesel deceso de la extraordinariacantante y los canales detelevisión 22 y 40 le dedicaronemisiones especiales de largaduración reseñando su ampliay fructífera trayectoria.
«La reina ha muerto»,«Conmoción en el mundohispano», tituló el matutino ElGráfico; «Murió la reina !Vivala reina!», dijo por su parte eldiario La Crónica, en tanto sucolega Reforma, a media plana,anotó «Morir cantando» y«Tumban a la reina».
El diario deportivoOvaciones destacó una foto deCelia Cruz en toda su primeraplana con el escrito «Azúcaramarga», en tanto el diario Estohizo lo propio rubricando: «Lamúsica está de luto».
«Nos deja un ejemplo, sobretodo a los que estamos en estenegocio y los que locomenzamos. El ejemplo de lagrandeza, de esa fuerza paratrabajar siempre, de ese éxitoconstante, de no tener ningúnmomento de cansancio ni nadapor el estilo, de esa alegría paratrabajar», agregó Manzanero.
«Celia Cruz nos deja unagran sabor, fue una señora tangrande y con una inmensafacilidad de contacto... fueinolvidable», dijo el autor de«Adoro».

Mexican ID cards(Continued from Page 1)
Lansing: Last week, staterepresentatives SteveTobocman (D-Detroit) andBill Huizenga (R-Zeeland) in-troduced the Michigan Immi-gration Clerical Act (MICA),legislation that will protectMichigan residents from theunscrupulous practices ofthose who would take advan-tage of immigrants in provid-ing clerical assistance for im-migration matters. Languagebarriers and lack of familiar-ity with U.S. laws and customsmake immigrant communitiesparticularly vulnerable toconsumer fraud, particularlyin migrant labor communi-ties and areas with a large im-migrant population, such asSouthwest Detroit, Dearborn,and Holland.
“This problem is particu-larly prevalent in the Hispaniccommunity,” Tobocman said.“Many businesses advertiseas ‘notario publicos,’ which
often translates into ‘licensedattorney’ in many Spanish-speaking countries. Yet, thesebusinesses have no qualifica-tions as either an attorney orsometimes even as a notarypublic. The result is that manySpanish-speaking immigrantsend up paying thousands ofdollars for little more thandocument transcription. Thismust stop.”
Abuse ranges from acciden-tal acts of careless entrepre-neurs to the outright despi-cable. There have been docu-mented cases where a businesspromises to obtain permanentresidency or citizenship statusfor an immigrant for a severalthousand-dollar fee, only tohave the scam artist close shopand run off with theimmigrant’s money. Othercases include individuals withlittle or no experience charg-ing thousands of dollars to tran-scribe documents.
The Michigan Immigra-tion Clerical Act will:
·License and raise the stan-dard for those profiting fromthe practice of assisting per-sons with immigration ser-vices;
·Guarantee consumersseeking immigration servicesfrom a notary public a writtencontract in both English andtheir native language;
·Protect consumers harmedby fraudulent notary publicsand immigration clerical as-sistants with a surety bond of$50,000;
·Ensure that anyone adver-tising as a government-ap-proved immigration clericalassistant clearly denotes thatthey are not attorneys;
·Be self-funding by hav-ing the licensees pay for thecosts of administration andregulation, not the tax-pay-ing general public; and,
·Exempt from regulation
Michigan Immigration Clerical Act introduced in the House toprotect immigrants from unscrupulous business practices
Los integrantes delcabildo de la ciudad deMuskegon aprobaron porunanimidad elreconocimiento de la MCAScomo documento valido deidentificacion para losCiudadanos Mexicanos quesoliciten o acudan a losservicios que ofrece esaciudad.
La presentación de lainiciativa de reconocimientoestuvo a cargo del Alcalde dela ciudad, Sr. StephenWarmington y conto con elcabildeo de varios lideres de
foreign aid programs, passedthe House Tuesday evening,226-198. The larger billpassed 382-42 Wednesday.
One of the measure’ssponsors, Rep. JohnHostettler, R-Ind., cited re-cent testimony by the FBI ina House hearing that thecards are vulnerable to fraud.
The cards, known as“matricula consular,” areissued by the Mexican gov-ernment to its citizens liv-ing in the United States. Itallows cardholders to getdriver’s licenses in somestates, open bank accountsand send money home. Po-lice have found them usefulwhen arresting some illegalimmigrants.
Steven McCraw, with theFBI’s Office of Intelligence,testified at a House hearingin late June that the card isnot a reliable form of identi-fication because there is noway to verify the cardholder’s identity. Multiplecards can be issued under thesame name, address and pho-tograph because the Mexi-can government does nothave a centralized cardholderdatabase and does not havethe technology to verify iden-tities of card applicants,McCraw said.
The White House is lead-ing a review of the consularcards. A White Housespokesman was not avail-able for comment.
Hostettler said in a state-ment that the provision, co-sponsored by Rep. Elton
Gallegly, R-Calif., does notaddress acceptance of thecard or prohibit their issu-ance, but extends authorityto the State Department toregulate them.
Rep. Ciro Rodríguez,Congressional HispanicCaucus chairman, said themeasure is one of an on-slaught of “continuous anti-Hispanic amendments theRepublicans insist on sub-mitting.”
“One thing that needs tobe clarified in their muddyargument is the fact that im-migrants cannot usematriculas to obtain work au-thorizations, the right to vote,to obtain public benefits, nordo they provide an immedi-ate legalization status,” saidRodríguez, D-Texas.
Hostettler’s measure in-cludes allowing the State De-partment to require that coun-tries issuing the cards pro-vide them only to citizens oftheir country and to verifyidentities. It also allows theState Department to requirecountries have accuraterecords of cards issued and tohave anti-fraud systems.
It provides penalties forcountries whose violationscreate a national security riskor facilitates fraud. The mea-sure requires the State De-partment to stop issuing vi-sas to citizens of countriescommitting violations.
Ironically, the Indianagovernor’s office announcedlast week that state agencieswould recognize the Mexicancard as a form of identification.
family, friends, accreditedrepresentatives, attorneysand supervised law stu-dents. Additionally,churches, nonprofit organi-zations and others not seek-ing to profit off these ser-vices could obtain exemp-tions from the licensure andbonding requirements byproviding evidence of theirqualifications; and,
“Ensuring that anyonewho profits from helpingpeople with immigration ser-vices is properly qualifiedand licensed will stop thecon artists and thieves whoprey on those who wish tobecome American citizens,”Huizenga said. “I believethe state should do every-thing in its power to protectthese hopeful citizens fromthese kinds of scams, andthis legislation would be thefirst step in the right direc-tion.”

WASHINGTON (AP): Eltratado de libre comerciocon Chile fue aprobado elmiércoles en un comitéclave de la Cámara deRepresentantes, pero nopudo librarse de la polémicade los temas migratorios queamenazan su aprobaciónexpeditiva.
El tratado fue aprobadopor votación oral en elComité de AsuntosJurídicos cuando elpresidente del comité, elrepublicano James F.Sensenbrenner, pidió lavotación sin debate nienmienda.
Sin embargo, luego, larepresentante Sheila Jack-son-Lee, demócrata deTexas, cuestionó el tratadoafirmando que conteníacláusulas sobre inmi-gración que aparentementelos negociadores esta-dounidenses no teníanautoridad para negociarlos.
Las preocupaciones poresas cláusulas han sido unaconstante en el debate enambas cámaras a las que hasido sometido el tratado
hasta ahora.Jackson-Lee puso en duda
la autoridad de la Oficina delRepresentante Comercial delos Estados Unidos (USTR)de negociar acuerdos deinmigración. Richard Mills,portavoz de USTR, no estuvodisponible para uncomentario al respecto pedidopor AP.
Pero el lunes, al comparecerante un comité, Regina Vargo,subdirectora del USTR y prin-cipal negociadora del acuerdocon Chile, dijo que si bien losacuerdos teníanefectivamente provisionessobre inmigración éstasrespondían al propósito decompetitividad empresarial.
«Los acuerdos van afacilitar el ingreso temporalde empresarios, pero éstos nopodrán solicitar al amparo deese ingreso, residenciapermanente, empleo ociudadanía», dijo Vargo.

Formergovernmentworkerpleads guiltyto smugglingimmigrants
DETROIT (AP): Aformer governmentworker has pleadedguilty for her role in ascheme to illegally ob-tain documents that al-lowed immigrants to re-main in the United States,a prosecutor said Thurs-day.
Janice Halstead, aformer employee of theImmigration and Natu-ralization Service, wasaccused of illegally dis-tributing forms topeople who sought helpfrom an immigrationconsulting business inDearborn.
The forms gave so-called advance parolestatus to people other-wise not legally admis-sible to the United States.The status allows legalaliens to leave and thenre-enter the country.
About 130 peoplefrom Yemen and Leba-non are believed to havebenefited fromHalstead’s efforts.
Halstead pleadedguilty to conspiracy tosmuggle aliens into theUnited States and accept-ing money in exchangefor issuing documentsfor entry into the UnitedStates, U.S. Attorney Jef-frey Collins said.
The violations alleg-edly were committedfrom 1998 through 2002when Halstead, formerlyof Detroit, worked as aninformation officer forthe INS, now the Bureauof Citizenship and Im-migration Services.
Collins did not saywhen Halstead would besentenced or what hersentence could be.
AUSTIN (AP): A dispro-portionate number of His-panics and blacks are in Texasprisons, according to a studyreleased Tuesday.
While four in every 10Texans are either Hispanicor black, the minorities ac-count for about seven in ev-ery 10 Texas prisoners, ac-cording to the report by theNational Council of La Raza.

wants to see TPS initia-tives brought in line withthe needs of the commu-nity.
First, he wants to seeLatino academic perfor-mance enhanced.
Second, he wants to ex-plore how to enlist moreLatino mentors and tutors.
Third, he wants to see afocus on improving thegraduation rate of Latinostudents.
In Toledo, the Latinodropout rate is close to 50percent. For this effort,Sanders envisions a two-fold approach that will lookat both the school structureor curriculum and look tothe home environment toassist in promoting schoolefforts.
“We have difficulty,”said Sanders, “combatingcultural and environmen-tal challenges that don’ttie into our school objec-tives.”
Fourth, Sanders wantsto look at the increasedrecruitment of Latinoteachers and leaders forprominent roles within thedistrict.
Sanders expressed con-fidence that the challengesof the Latino drop out rateand educational attain-ment can be successfullymet in his term in officeeven as he recognizes the“battle [in the Latino com-munity] between what edu-
cation has to offer and theother factors that may not bestbe represented by continuededucation.”
Indeed, as Sanders reflectson his three years to date asTPS superintendent, he be-lieves he has every reason tobelieve that his administra-tion is not only on track butalso is capable of a good dealmore. Proficiency scores, ashe predicted at the onset ofhis term, have risen in thedistrict.
Excitement about severalnew projects for the upcom-ing school year, particularlythe two elementary single-sex academies at Lincolnand Stewart, has been build-ing, not just district-wide,but around the nation, saidSanders. He pointed to aneditorial that had run theprevious week in the Cleve-land Plain Dealer commend-ing TPS for taking such ini-tiative.
He also spoke of the in-creased online capabilitiesthat all parents will have inthe very near future to com-municate with TPS officialsand to access informationabout what their children aredoing in school, what home-work assignments studentshave and what major studentschool projects lie ahead.
But there will apparentlynever be any sense for Sand-ers that his mission is com-plete and he can stand pat.Introducing reform andchange, he made clear, is his
mission. Such innovation,he said, will eventually turnTPS into a “world-classschool district” which willplay a huge part in the revi-talization of Toledo itself.
And, some of that, getsback to the money, of course.Should the renewal of theoperating levy fail in Au-gust, the negative impacton TPS and the Toledo com-munity will be huge, Sand-ers emphasized. If the re-newal fails, more staff lay-offs and program cutbacksare inevitable and fundingfor future innovations, suchas the single-sex academies,will evaporate.
In the midst of criticismabout funding, about inno-vation, about progress onproficiency scores, aboutbuilding new schools, Sand-ers has managed to main-tain his perspective. Re-cently his plan for single-sex academies was assailedby one critic as being a moveof desperation, not innova-tion. Sanders can see theviewpoint of that particularcritic.
As far as our schools areconcerned, said Sanders, “weare desperate” for improve-ment.

En su adolesencia ganóun concurso de nuevostalentos llamado la Hora delTe, el mismo que le habriólas puertas para entrar algrupo de la SononoraMatancera, y con los cualesabandonó Cuba.
Al principio del 2003 sele detecto cancer cerebralpor el cual fue operada deemergencia. Durante sucarrera como cantante CeliaCruz grabó mas de 50 dis-cos, participó en una peliculallamada The Mambo Kings(los reyes del mambo) conAntonio Banderas yparticipó en variosprogramas de televisión ynovelas mexicanas.
Falleció en su penthousede Fort Lee, Nueva Jersey elpasado16 de julio de 2003, a causa del cancer cerebral.
