GOP leaders seek resignation of Hispanic
caucus chairman
ANNAPOLIS, Md.
(AP): The Maryland Republican Party and Gov.
Robert Ehrlich are calling for the resignation of
the chairman of the state’s
Hispanic Republican
Caucus, a group formed
this year to attract Latinos
to the party.
Disagreements between the party and Jorge
Ribas arose when the
chairman publicly questioned whether Ehrlich is
committed to putting
Latinos in high-ranking
positions in his administration.
Party leaders say
Ribas’ intemperate and
divisive remarks in the
media and elsewhere
have cast the governor in
a poor light.
“We believed that
there needed to be a leadership change,” said Eric
Sutton, executive director of the Maryland Republican Party. “(Ribas)
hasn’t gotten along with
the program. He’s spent
more time worrying about
Jorge Ribas than the Republican Party.”
John Kane, state GOP
chairman, said Ribas “has
a hard time controlling
what he says (so that he)
doesn’t irritate and insult
people who are trying to
help his own group.”
Ribas would not discuss his plans Thursday
or comment on Kane’s ul-
timatum that the new caucus would lose its affiliation with the Republican
Party unless he resigned.
“Our relationship to the
Maryland GOP is under review. At the appropriate
time, the results of our decision will be made publicly
known,” Ribas said.
Ribas has carefully
avoided criticizing Ehrlich
in public comments since
being reprimanded about
his criticism of the
administration’s record on
the appointment of
Latinos.
He said the group’s top
priority is to help re-elect
President Bush. The caucus
also “helped elect Gov.
Ehrlich, and we continue to
support Gov. Ehrlich and
Lt. Gov. Michael Steele,”
Ribas said.
Kane arrived unannounced Monday evening
at a caucus meeting at a Columbia hotel to insist that
Ribas resign. Otherwise, the
state party will disband the
caucus and rebuild it without Ribas, Kane said.
“The lieutenant governor and I have reviewed the
situation, and it’s deemed
best that we cut our losses
with Jorge Ribas,” Kane
said. “He has poisoned the
well of trust and respect that
we should have with any
caucus or any group.”
In June, Ribas delivered
a sharply worded letter to
Ehrlich that called the
governor’s minority hiring practices disappointing and urged him to seek
out Latino candidates to
head the Maryland Higher
Education Commission.
The letter also asked the
governor to create a
Latino liaison position in
the governor’s office.
“We are beginning to
wonder if the ‘opportunity team’ forged in your
historic partnership (with
Steele) fully understood
the meaning of diversity,” Ribas wrote in a
letter released to media
outlets.
The letter and later
comments to reporters angered Kane and other party
leaders.
“He is not the person to
lead the Hispanic caucus
in the direction I want it to
go,” Kane said.
Paul
Schurick,
Ehrlich’s communications director, said
Ehrlich’s concerns go beyond Ribas’ comments
about hiring, but would
not provide specifics.
Ribas, a native of Ecuador and a Montgomery
County resident, was
elected the caucus’ first
chairman. A veterinarian
and pathologist, Ribas
owns a consulting company and is a past president of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation.
He ran for state Senate last
year.

Drug and immigration probes suffer after
vendor stops selling Latin American citizen
ment officials have ordered— Octavio Duarte, a special agent
data
or threatened—inquiries into with the Bureau of ImmigraBy JIM KRANE
AP Technology Writer
When Border Patrol agents
came across the corpses of 14
Mexican immigrants who died
trying to cross the searing Arizona desert in 2001, a brand
new tool helped U.S. authorities identify the bodies and,
eventually, the smugglers who
abandoned them.
The tool was a database
containing the personal information of 65 million votingage Mexican citizens. The U.S.
government bought access to
it for $1 million a year from a
giant data vendor called
ChoicePoint Inc. The company is based in Alpharetta,
Ga.
U.S. drug and immigration
investigators prized the data,
according to the Department
of Homeland Security and other
law enforcement sources, because it gave them latitude to
track suspects inside Mexico
without alerting local authorities.
Now ChoicePoint’s database is no longer available to
help U.S. authorities. An Associated Press report detailing
the U.S. government’s access
to the data triggered a public
outcry in Mexico and other
Latin American countries from
which ChoicePoint had obtained citizens’ private records.
After the Mexican government complained that its federal
voter rolls were the source, and
were likely obtained illegally by
a Mexican company that sold
them to ChoicePoint, the suburban Atlanta company cut off
access to that information.
In June, ChoicePoint wiped
its hard drives of Mexicans’
home addresses, passport numbers and even unlisted phone
numbers. The company also
backed out of Costa Rica and
Argentina.
ChoicePoint had been collecting personal information
on residents of 10 Latin American countries—apparently
without their consent or knowledge—allowing three dozen
U.S. agencies to use it to track
and arrest suspects inside and
outside the United States.
The revelations helped
kindle privacy movements in
at least six countries where the
company operates. Govern-
the data sales, saying
ChoicePoint and the U.S. government violated national sovereignty.
“The federal registry is
Mexican patrimony. For a fistful of dollars this information
goes to the United States?”
asked Julio Tellez Valdes, a
law professor and data protection expert at the Monterrey
Technical Institute in México.
“Millions of Mexicans are now
conscious about the necessity
of a data protection law.”
The raising of Mexican
awareness about personal privacy has not, however, been
good for U.S. investigations of
drug and immigration smuggling rings, U.S. law enforcers
say. They consider foreign data
an increasingly potent investigative tool, which can be used
alongside other databases to
identify potential terrorists or
simply unmask fake identity
documents.
In the deadly immigration
case in Arizona, ChoicePoint’s
tool did just that, helping
uncloak a smuggler masquerading as a surviving immigrant,
said a person familiar with that
investigation. He spoke on
condition of anonymity.
The ChoicePoint data allowed U.S. agents to run their
own investigations in México,
while keeping Mexican police—who make the arrests—
in the dark until the last moment so corrupt local authorities couldn’t tip off suspects,
U.S. officials said.
“We didn’t have to rely on
the Mexicans to provide us
that information,” said one federal investigator who used the
ChoicePoint data, speaking on
condition of anonymity. “You
run the risk of corruption when
you ask the Mexicans for something.”
Now, Homeland Security’s
Bureau of Immigration and
Customs Enforcement uses less
efficient tools, officials said.
“There’s the yin and the
yang for these kinds of products,” said ChoicePoint marketing director James Lee. U.S.
law enforcers “love ‘em but
they never tell anybody that.”
One U.S. agent said he understood the Mexicans’ anger.
“I don’t know that we’d like
the Mexican government having the same data on us,” said
tion and Customs Enforcement
in Yuma, Ariz.
ChoicePoint also sells U.S.
citizens’ financial, legal and
personal details to the U.S.
government. Privacy advocates charge that the government uses commercial data to
skirt the 1974 Privacy Act,
which prevents the government from compiling the files
itself.
Federal anti-terrorism
projects—including the
Pentagon’s Terrorism Information Awareness program—are
designed to plumb databases
of Americans’ financial and
legal records for clues to suspicious behavior. News organizations, including the AP, use
ChoicePoint’s data for researching stories.
While ChoicePoint’s sales
of Americans’ files remain
strong, the outcry in México
appears to have torpedoed the
company’s largest foreign business.
Former employee John Jordan, 41, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
said ChoicePoint’s Latin
American business was on “life
support” in June when the company laid him off and deleted
its Mexican data. Jordan, a data
analyst, said the Mexican files
attracted about two-thirds of
ChoicePoint’s international
sales.
Lee
characterized
ChoicePoint’s foray into Latin
America as an experiment, saying the data vendor collected
less than $1 million of its $792
million in 2002 revenue from
selling foreigners’ personal
information.
“It’s so small, it has no impact on our earnings,” he said.
Lee said ChoicePoint’s
business is unaffected in seven
of the 10 Latin American countries where it still deals in data.
And the company still sells
driver’s license data on 6 million residents of Mexico City.
Mexican authorities have
launched an official probe into
the data sales to ChoicePoint,
as have those in Colombia,
Guatemala, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. In Mexico, federal
investigators issued an arrest
warrant for a fugitive believed
to have sold the federal election records to a Mexican data
firm, which resold the database to ChoicePoint.

In this era of Latin influences and the rising of Latinos
in the United States, the emergence of Spanish language
Hip Hop comes to no surprise.
The increasing popularity of
this lyrical style has taken off.
A leader and major contender, Kinto Sol, holds its
Kinto Sol
own, making a name for itself
in a territory that is hard to
conquer—the streets. Kinto
Sol’s music is unique due to
the vision of its members. The
members, who were raised in
different backgrounds, bring
and mix various perspectives
of life in their lyrics.
Three brothers—Skribe, Dj
Payback García, and El
Chivo—all born in México,
left their childhood behind in
México and were raised as
teenagers in the United States.
They have incorporated their
childhood memories and their
U.S. experiences into their
music.
El Gordo was born and
raised in the United States of
America. This is why Kinto
Sol has the ability to naturally
relate to people and the ability to penetrate across both
sides of the Mexican-U.S. border. Kinto Sol captures life
and portrays it in its music to
the eyes of its audience. This
dynamic group powerfully
conveys the story of who they
are and the people they represent in their style, sound, and
lyrics.

Authentic Mexican Food
The Legend of the Vaquero
Long ago Mexican Vaqueros perfected the art of roping, branding
cattle, and cooking on the range. The rugged Vaqueros knew how to live
life to the fullest. Unique seasonings and the richest recipes created a
brand of cooking all their own.
Inspired by their legendary skills around a campfire, the style of
“on the ranch” cooking uses distinctive spices and mesquie grilling to
create these Vaquero favorites for our guests today. On the ranch we do
things a little differently.

Magistrate
Alan
Mutchler, of the Lucas
County Court of Common
Pleas, Domestic Relations
Division swore in the new
officers prior to lunch break.
Chuy Negrete, a Mexican folk singer now residing
in Chicago, provided educational entertainment.
Jesse Ponce, Sergio
Sánchez, and Frank Ibarra
also performed.
According to FLOC President Baldemar Velásquez,
“This convention represents
a unique opportunity for migrant farm workers in the
United States.
“After 36 years of
struggle, immigrant migrant
workers are learning to understand the significance of
collective action.
“This convention is their
forum to tell the world about
the issues that affect their
lives.”
Velásquez informed La
Prensa that, “Latinos must
be tenacious in their fight
and support of migrant issues. Great mountains must
be climbed to achieve the
goals of justice for the migrant workers.”
At the 1994 convention,
FLOC members directed the
union to “Organize the South”
in an effort to protect the victories gained by the union in
Ohio. FLOC is still living out
that directive by organizing
in North Carolina and running a nationwide boycott of
the Mt. Olive Pickle Company to gain recognition of
the union in that state.
Several resolutions were
also passed including the reaffirmation of the boycott
against Mt. Olive Pickle and
the legalization of undocumented workers.
Invited speakers included:
Ken Riley, President of International Longshoreman Association local 1422, leader
of the fight to free the Charleston Five; a representative of
the French Labor Party; Petee
Talley, Secretary/Treasurer of
the Ohio State AFL-CIO;
Saladin Muhammad, National
Chair of the Black Workers
for Justice; and the Reverend
Floyd Rose, longtime Toledo
Civil Rights leader, currently

Américas: Argentina avanza a
semifinales; México dijo adiós
Por JUAN ZAMORANO
SAN JUAN (AP): Argentina se apoderó el jueves del
último pasaje a las
semifinales del Preolímpico
de las Américas al vencer por
paliza
a
República
Dominicana, en un cierre de
la segunda ronda en que
México y Venezuela se
despidieron con victorias y
el
«Dream
Team»
estadounidense sumó su octavo triunfo en línea.
Estados Unidos avanzó
como primero y se enfrentará
el sábado a Puerto Rico, que
terminó en cuarto lugar. Argentina
se
topará
nuevamente con Canadá, que
quedó tercero.
Los dos victoriosos del
sábado asegurarán su
clasificación a las olimpíadas
de Atenas, además de que
pelearán por el campeonato
el domingo. El otro pasaje al
básquetbol olímpico se lo
llevará el que atrape el tercer
lugar.
Estados Unidos y Canadá
ganaron los dos boletos
olímpicos disputados en el
pasado Torneo de las
Américas de 1999 celebrado
también en San Juan. Ahora
hay un pase adicional, y el
«Dream Team» y Argentina
son los favoritos para llevarse
los dos primeros.
Estados Unidos aplastó a
Puerto Rico 91-65 y terminó
la segunda ronda con ocho
victorias sin derrotas; Argentina vapuleó a Dominicana
102-72 y finalizó con cinco
triunfos y tres reveses.
Canadá, que cayó ante
Venezuela 93-86, y Puerto
Rico terminaron igualados
con Argentina, pero los
sudamericanos terminaron
arriba en la tabla porque los
había derrotado en la primera
ronda.
México, que venció a
Brasil 102-92, y Venezuela
finalizaron con cuatro
victorias y cuatro derrotas
cada una. Brasil se fue con 35 y Dominicana con 2-6.
Los argentinos, tras haber
caído sorpres-ivamente el
miércoles
ante
los
venezolanos, dominaron a los
dominicanos de comienzo a
fin, contando con una buena
labor ofensiva del alero
Emanuel Ginóbili y el
delantero Luis Scola, quienes
encestaron 18 puntos cada
uno y aportaron nueve
rebotes.
Previamente, Venezuela
dio la tercera sorpresa de la
segunda ronda al ganarle a
Canadá 93-86 en tiempo extra. El juego había quedado
79-79, pero los venezolanos
ganaron el quinto parcial
14-7.
Los venezolanos Víctor
Díaz y Diego Guevara
tuvieron una gran faena
ofensiva al encestar 23 y 20
puntos, respectivamente.
Venezuela
se
fue
eliminado, pero con el gusto
de haberle ganado al
subcampeón mundial Argentina y a México, que tuvo en
sus filas al jugador de la NBA
Eduardo Nájera.
