<p> Linda Greenhouse in the (April 26, 2010), wrote “I’m glad I’ve already seen the Grand Canyon. Because I’m not going back to Arizona as long as it remains a police state, which is what the appalling anti-immigrant bill that Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law last week has turned it into.” Greenhouse was referring to a state law that requires the police to demand proof of legal residency from any person about whom they have “reasonable suspicion” that “the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States.”</p>

<p> El terror que cundió a la ciudad de Costa Mesa, ahora arremete con toda su fuerza el universo del Estado de Arizona.</p>
<p> La aprobación de la medida SB 1070, que fue firmada por la gobernadora Jan Brewer, no fue un hecho accidental, sino es el fruto de un grupo pequeño de intolerantes que poco a poco llegaron a tomar las riendas del gobierno estatal.</p>

<p> Como he mencionado en los artículos anteriores, la legislatura de California consiste del Senado, 40 senadores, y la Cámara Baja, 80 asambleístas. Un asambleísta puede servir en la cámara baja el máximo de seis años y un senador puede servir el máximo de ocho años en el senado.</p>

<p>How do you end a column after 16 years? With regrets and unfulfilled dreams? Perhaps, but truthfully, Column of the Americas ends with even bigger dreams.</p>
<p>There indeed is disappointment with the ease in which the U.S. populace has accepted and normalized the notion of permanent war as a God-given U.S. birthright; the further militarization of the nation and the world; the politics of fear, hate and blame; and Big Brother government. All with nary a whimper.</p>

<p>Former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo (aka Loony Toons) continues anti-Mexican hate and lies even after leaving office. Hate is hate.</p>
<p>Tancredo’s lunacy comes from when he was a draft dodging evader and liar. He manifested a profound hate for the USA when he claimed mental illness to avoid the Vietnam draft. Or, did he lie?</p>

<p>If anyone thought the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, heralded the end of racism in America, they should look no further than the tea party rallies held this weekend. The racial slogans and the mocking signs show how far we still have to go. Perhaps even more troubling are the economic indicators that show how far the recession is setting back the fragile fortunes of people of color.</p>

<p>When Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency, he promised us a less polarized and less partisan political environment and a more transparent and accountable federal government.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, these lofty campaign pledges were nothing more than empty rhetoric. Nowhere is this more evident than with the recently signed health care reform bill.</p>
