<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This coming week, if Senator Harry Reid keeps his word, Congress may get a chance to vote on the DREAM Act. First introduced in 2003, the bill would allow undocumented students graduating from a U.S. high school to apply for permanent residence if they complete two years of college or serve two years in the U.S. military. Estimates are that it would enable over 800,000 young people to gain legal status, and eventual citizenship.</p>

Editorial:

Early in the week Dr. Raj Chopra handed in his resignation effective immediately.

   At La Prensa San Diego we have supported Chopra in the way he has handled the business end of the institution. Sure he has stubbed his toes a couple of times, most notably for his handling of the student/teacher protest, but in the overall picture Chopra was the right man for the job at the time of his hiring.

Comentario:
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.

   Durante casi todo el año, los estudiantes indocumentados tuvieron malas noticias.  La propuesta DREAM Act no fue aprobada en el Congreso de Washington y el gobernador Arnold Schwarzenegger, a pesar de ser inmigrante, nunca tuvo afinidad con dicha propuesta.

   Asimismo, los recientes comicios electorales arrojaron saldos negativos no sólo para los estudiantes indocumentados, sino también para toda la población de inmigrantes sin papeles legales.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With the news that Latinos, for the first time ever, have become the majority in California’s public schools, researchers and educators called on the state to do more to help these students get an education that prepares them for the 21st century.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The California Supreme Court is the second most important court in the United States of America without doubt. Six (6) Republican appointed justices and one Democrat-appointed justice sit on the court. He is Hispanic, the others are not.</p>
