Editorial:

All that we have as a country, all that we have become, all that we hope for is because a man or woman gave their life so that we can enjoy today. This is what Memorial Day is about: remembering those who have given their life on the battlefields across the world and throughout the history of the United States.

“Those who labor the earth are the chosen people of God.”—Thomas Jefferson

   The House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement held a hearing a couple weeks ago  on the H-2A agricultural guest worker visa program—a program that, like much of our current immigration system, isn’t optimal but has proved doggedly resistant to reform.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; El Subcomité de Política Migratoria y Aplicación de Leyes de la Cámara de Representantes tuvo&nbsp; una audiencia hace unas semanas sobre el programa de visas para trabajadores agrícolas invitados H-2A, un programa que, al igual que nuestro sistema migratorio federal, no es lo mejor pero ha resultado difícil de reformar.</p>

    Échese este trompo a la uña: “La Ciudad (me brinco el nombre pa’ no vender la mercancía antes de tiempo)… es intercultural, expresada en la diversidad sociocultural de sus habitantes, sustentada en los pueblos indígenas y originarios y sus integrantes, así como en las personas con diferentes nacionalidades, orígenes, lenguas o creencias, entre otros colectivos sociales”.

    Today (May 26), Senators Menendez (D-NJ), Reid (D-NV), Durbin (D-IL), Schumer (D-NY), Akaka (D-HI), Leahy (D-VT), Bennet (D-CO), and Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Military Families Act. This legislation aims to provide stability and peace of mind for men and women in the military who have close family members who are undocumented. The bill would allow parents, spouses, and children of active duty military servicemen and women to become legal permanent residents.

    According to Lynn Tramonte, Deputy Director of America’s Voice Education Fund:
