A meeting between the president Obama and congressional leaders programmed to discuss the topic of the migratory reform will carry out in the White House the next week, according to sources who help to organize it. The meeting has already been cancelled two times, and let's hope that the defeated one goes to the third one. One hopes that the approach of the meeting should be the strategy of advancing the topic in the federal congress, even if the same White House has said that hardly they see that the topic comes to his last consequences during this legislative year.
But simultaneously, the president Obama there is mentioning that correctly it has to the congress – and not to the White House – to determine what will happen with any legislation related to this topic. After there see who of the legislators will take part in the meeting. Until now the pro-immigrant groups stay out. It is a meeting, she says the "intimate" White House.
Meanwhile, leaders of the senate presented today legislation that does some changes to the Real call GO, a law that between other things demands that a driver should be in the country legally to be able to receive a driver's license. The legislation eliminates the requisite that state governments provide to other governments access to his data banks, and does not establish a national information system as any conservatives had demanded. Nevertheless, this legislation does not change the basic elements of the law, and supports in force the requisite of legal residence to obtain a driver's license.
Simultaneously that the judge Sonia Sotomayor continues his meetings with senators in anticipation to the beginning of his hearing of assertion for the Supreme Court on July 13, the court of major importance in the country this week commented on several cases of importance to the Latin community. This week the judges refused to interfere in a dispute on a wall partly of the American border with Mexico. Several state governments tried to argue that the federal government violated a few laws on having approved the construction in the frontier Téxas area, but the court said that the complaint has no validity, and the construction will continue. The court also refused to examine the case of five agents of Cuban intelligence who said they did not receive a just judgment because it was carried out in Miami where there is a community of the Cuban exile in his against, and hence the jury was coming. The court determined that the jury had no connection to the Cuban community, and that's why the judgments were just. And in another case, the court determined that the migratory authorities do not have the need to ask a jury for the financial impact of the crime of an immigrant before deporting it. The case talks each other of an immigrant of Nigeria that alleges it will be deported by the rapid route because it defrauded to big quantity of the people more than 100 million dollars. Incredibly, this undocumented immigrant said that if it should not steal SO MUCH money, if the theft should be less, they would not be so interested in deporting it. Imagine this argument: I am a sly minor, please, make me calm. Jajajaja!
