Life Latina in Atlanta

An Atlanta-based company is fighting for their cut of 5900 pieces of stuff recovered from Titanic in a period of diving between 1985 and 1993, making sure that the treasury will not be sold to private collectors but remain open to the public. Very good news.

Bad News: Atlanta Hotel Occupancy this year is down to its lowest levels: 50 per cent to date. Many Spanish-speaking workers - restaurants, banquets, housekeepers, maintenance are laid off without pay or severance. No golden umbrellas, either!

Obama backs up a migratory reform.

The president of USA, Barack Obama, expressed his support to an exhaustive migratory reform that will eventually lead to the citizenship for the undocumented immigrants but it does not become a “instantaneous amnesty”.

In a meeting on the 18 of March with voters in Costa Mesa, south of Los Angeles, Obama affirmed that the undocumented immigrants that already are in USA must understand that “they have broken the law” and, therefore, their way to the legalization “is not going to be a way of roses”. Of course, he insisted, “it is not going to be an instantaneous amnesty”.

Near fourteen million undocumented immigrants are in USA currently, explained Pres Obama, and they will have to pay a handsome fine and lawyers fees, to be hooked-up to those who have completed the process of legal way and managed to learn English. The fees and fines might rejuvenate failing American economy and bring it back on track.

“Once they have done all that will be a way towards the citizenship”, explained the American president, who insisted on which the process “will only be applied if they satisfy each requirement”.

The reform that proposes Obama is similar to which struggled in the Congress in 2007 and which it failed due to the lack of support of the Republican Party.

The American president met with the Hispanic congressmen in the White House before undertaking his trip to California, and he assured to them that he is arranged to appoint a serious politician to complete the migratory reform.

Obama was in California for a tour of a day and a half in which it looks for to directly promote before the public his economic message.

The strategy of the president has been harmed by the scandal around the advantages of the insuring AIG its executives, by a total of 165 million dollars, and his unsuccessful remark about alternative Olympics.

The House of Representatives of Georgia adopted HB 45 with a vote of 102 to favor and 63 against. Many of his colleagues voted with Pedro Marin against this project of law because it requires unnecessarily that many Georgian provide test of citizenship before register to vote.

Specifically, according to the project, the people who register to vote for the first time must give documentation, like Georgia driver’s license, a American passport, a certificate of birth or citizenship papers.

If we took into account that we have the strictest statute in the nation of the Voter call YOU GO (in Georgia the government demands the citizens to show an identification card with photo issued by the government or “Voter YOU GO” at the time of voting) the necessity of an additional legislation to protect our electoral process must be evident.

The authors of HB 45 allege that they support the initiative to come up that undocumented and other described voters cannot be registered and be voted.

Until this moment, in the electoral history of Georgia, an incident has only occurred in which noncitizen in Georgia they have register to vote.

A reason to present the measurement is to suppress the efforts of communitarian organizations and support who have been instrumental in registering to hundreds of thousands of new voters, many of those pertaining to minority groups and adult young people.

In addition, HB 45 offers another reason to put in judgment fabric the citizenship of a voter, as the past year happened when the Secretariat of State demanded 4.500 citizens to present test of citizenship before voting in the general election.

If you think HB 45 is bad then what you think about draconian totalitarian hitler-style HB 160? Is that that same Republican Small Government Low Tax Freedom and Liberties For All Gun Owners Shining City On A Hill that makes them so democratic and republican at the same time? Their Mama will be proud of those Sonny Sons

New Category Travel is for those occasions when I wish to travel locally, nationally and internationally. For example, currently I’m planning a trip to New York from Atlanta - go there 0n May the 1/2, and return back to Atlanta on May 4, Monday. Don’t know yet which is cheaper - airplane, AmTrak, or GreyHound. Heard that you can get a plane ticket for 170 RT if book 14 days ahead. Then again GreyHound may cost 132 both ways, but 30 hours of my quality time wasted in travel ???

Very carefully German gendarmes extract a Walther bullet from the wounded Bavarian delivery man body …

Atlanta embala un golpe cuando va el sol abajo tanto de Norte América, Atlanta, Georgia o Carolina del Norte. Elton Juan vive por horas en Buckhead, y acogen con satisfacción los grupos de los artistas como la sección de ritmo de Atlanta también con gusto.

La vida nocturna de Atlanta abraza a cafés a las barras de deportes y a clubs de danza de gran energía con los ritmos latinos para los mexicanos, para aplaudir a artistas como Harry Connick Jr. o el toronjil Ethridge que inclujes también las mujeres y los hombres viviendos en Atlanta.
