(Español) No estamos en condiciones de seguir restregando que la promesa de reforma de 2008 se rompió y que la administración debió impulsarla cuando controlaba la Casa Blanca y ambas cámaras del Congreso, y que el Obamacare dejó sin oxígeno al resto de la agenda. Ya ‘a lo hecho pecho’.

(Español) Tal pareciera que el movimiento contra las deportaciones gana tracción, y está ocupando cada vez más mayores titulares en la prensa, con actos de desobediencia civil dispuestos a perseguir a Obama, a sol y sombra, sin darle tregua.

After years of court battles, the Supreme Court stopped the intention of residents in the cities of Hazleton, Pennsylvania and Farmers Branch, Texas, to resuscitate anti-immigrant ordinances. The ordinances sought to ban renting apartments to undocumented immigrants and deny licenses to businesses that hired them. Immigrant rights and civil rights groups hope the Supreme Court decision will discourage other cities that have expressed similar pretensions. José López Zamorano reports from the nation’s capital.

This week, the president of the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino organization, publicly called President Obama “Deporter in Chief.” The name had been heard before among those who call for an end to deportations. In Arizona, parents of detained immigrants finished a 15-day hunger strike. The strikers celebrated the liberation of one detainee and lamented the deportation of another. The protesters plan to continue with the protest and take it all the way to the White House doorstep in April. Valeria Fernández has more details from Arizona.
