The tragedy of the fatal shock of the Meter this week reminds to us the arduous work of the hard-working class in the Latin community and the history of Ann Fernández, native of El Salvador, who lost the life in way to his night work to support his six children. How she there are many who travel in the trains of take care because they do not have of other one, and unfortunately many means pay attention to this community only when a tragedy as this one happens. They work in the anonymity, looking for a better future, bearing all kinds of outrage – including some racist sectors that them insist on bothering simply for being of another race – in search of the bread of every day. Let's hope that during the meeting that took this week I finish in the White House to speak of how impelling a migratory reform they have remembered Mrs. Fernández, of his family and others that sacrifice themselves for the well-being of his families. And in particular let's hope that the investigators of the shock of two trains should arrange the mistake that caused this terrible accident so that he does not suffer any other family, especially when so many of the hard-working class depend on this public transport system.
The meeting that was carried out in the White House between legislators and the president Obama yesterday on Thursday focused in looking for ways of advancing in the Congress the topic of a migratory reform, simultaneously that the same first chief changes a little his tone on the topic, saying that he hopes that “during his presidency” it should be voted on a migratory reform, in contrast to “soon.” But since it has been said in previous occasions in the same space, it has the Congress to take the rudder in the matter and up to the today sun, nothing. And with democratic majority in both cameras of the federal Congress, already it is a time of that the groups who advocate the immigrants leave the julep of being criticize constantly the republicans for the absence of movement in the topic. They need to be fixed well to which party there belong the president of the Lower House, the leader of the senate and the conservatives who recently were chosen to the congress with the motto of a hard hand against the undocumented persons and who gave him the majority to the current party in functions. Here they a track goes: they are not republican.
Meanwhile they continue the attempts of some legislators of despising the judicial opinions of Sonia Sotomayor, the judge nuyorquina nominated to the Supreme Court. They admit themselves that they do not have the sufficient votes to defeat his nomination, but as they are already grasped to the idea without foundation that she does not serve, they are as in a circus, extracting things of the sleeve to see which trick it works. The most recent attempt had to do with what they were saying it was a flaw in a decision on the right to carry weapon, but they were not fixed well in the decision because seemingly a panel of conservative judges thought the same. What so absurd spectacle.
