Tijuana’s Deported Veterans Support House Inauguration Set For May

Support house for deported U.S. Veterans will hold its inauguration.

April 29, 2014

Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico – On Saturday, the Deported Veterans Support House (DVSH) will celebrate its inauguration, Hector Barajas, Director of the DVSH announced. Barajas a deported U.S. Veteran himself posted on his Facebook account that, the DVSH allows recently deported Veterans to temporarily stay at the house as they become adjusted and can cope with their deportation status. The DVSH is the first of its kind and has become known as the “Bunker.” It is used by deported Veterans as a center to stay in contact with other Veterans and as a resource center for information, aid and counseling through religious awareness, including a suicide preventive initiative for those in crisis situations. Their philosophy stems from “No Men Left Behind” acquired through military service training.
Most of the deported U.S. Veterans are stripped from their Congressional right to collect earned pensions and medical benefits once they’re deported. Those that quality for the Veterans Administration (VA) benefits must be present at a U.S. VA during an appointment for benefits, which none can be present due to their deportation status and severe penalties for returning to the U.S. illegally to claim VA benefits.
Barajas is one of those that quality for VA benefits, but is required to be in the U.S. to claim his benefits. The VA won’t set an appointment for Barajas because he can’t cross into the U.S. legally.
The VA has a Foreign Medical Program, but most deported Veterans don’t qualify because they don’t have any ratings to apply. No statistics have been released by the VA to show how many of the thousands of deported Veterans apply through the program.
On April 21, decorated war hero Army Sergeant Hector Barrios, 70, passed away in Tijuana and since he was deported had tried to get his medical benefits for a head injuring that he received while serving in Vietnam. Barrios died in poverty and never received VA benefits. Most of the Veterans have been deported for a criminal offense, whether a minor conviction.
The DVSH inauguration will be held on May 3, 2014 beginning at noon to 6:00 p.m. at:

2ndo Pizo arriva de Baja Gym
3rd st and 5 de Mayo
Calle 3cera #7592
Zona Centro, Tijuana BC Mexico

Wisconsin Voter ID Law Struck Down By Federal Judge Lynn Adelman

Wisconsin’s voter ID law keeps Afro-American, Hispanics and poor from voting because they would most likely lack proper birth documents to get a state issued ID to vote, according to federal Judge Lynn Adelman.

April 29, 2014

Milwaukee, WI – Another blow to the GOP (Republican) controlled Wisconsin legislature and Governor Scott Walker (R), on Tuesday U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman ruled in a 90-page ruling that the Wisconsin Voter ID Act 23 Law, which was passed in May 2011 was unconstitutional and burden minorities and poor from getting IDs to vote. Judge Adelman determined that the Republican controlled legislature wrongly passed a law that would keep minorities (Afro-American and Hispanics) and poor from getting their state issued IDs because it would be most likely they could not acquire proper birth documents to apply for a state ID.
Judge Aldelman wrote, “First, I give an overview of the relevant provisions of Act 23. Second, I address the Frank plaintiffs’ claim that Act 23 violates the Fourteenth Amendment because it imposes substantial burdens on the many eligible voters who do not currently possess photo IDs, and because such burdens are not justified by the state interests that Act 23 purports to serve. Third, I address the plaintiffs’ claim that Act 23 violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act because it has a disproportionate impact on the voting rights of Blacks and Latinos.”
The lawsuit was filed by the Wisconsin American Civil Liberties Union, the League of United Latin American Citizens and multiple residents of the state.
The state ID law took effect in a 2012 primary and was later declared unconstitutional by a Dane County judge in another lawsuit.
In press release, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen (R) issued the following statement in response to the decision released by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in the case of Ruthelle Frank, et al. v. Scott Walker, et al. and League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) of Wisconsin, et al. v. David G. Deininger, et al. “I am disappointed with the order and continue to believe Wisconsin’s law is constitutional. We will appeal,” Van Hollen stated.

Washington, D.C. – On Saturday, thousands of Native Americans and supporters gathered at the Washington National Mall to protest the Keystone XL Pipeline. An alliance made of both Cowboys and Native Americans want President Barack H. Obama to the reject or veto the pipeline project.
They set-up a tipi encampment for almost a week. They also marched to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian to deliver a tipi as a gift to President Obama.
One message says, “We speak on behalf of all Creation today, to communicate an urgent message that man has gone too far, placing us in the state of survival. The Keystone XL Pipeline and the dirty oil that it transports creates an urgent threat to our collective future and poses the greatest immediate risk of contaminating our sacred waters, land, air, our communities and our way of life as the People of the Earth. In time, we will reconcile our differences, but for now we must come together for Mother Earth,” Chief Arvol Looking Horse stated about the pipeline controversy.
The Reject and Protect org. who organized the six day encampment, rally, march and protest released the following report, the five-day Reject and Protect encampment began with a march and opening ceremony on Earth Day, April 22. On Wednesday, members of the Cowboy and Indian Alliance met with the White House to voice their concerns about Keystone XL and tar sands expansion. On Thursday, the Alliance hosted a protest at the Lincoln Memorial where Rosebud Sioux member Wizipan Little Elk and Nebraska farmer Art Tanderup risked arrest by walking into the reflecting pool with a sign that read, “Standing in the water could get me arrested, TransCanada pollutes drinking water and nothing happens.” On Friday, the Alliance hosted an interfaith prayer ceremony outside Secretary of State John Kerry’s house, before marching through Georgetown and holding a round dance in the middle of the M St. and Wisconsin Ave. intersection.
Legendary musician Neil Young and actress Daryl Hannah were amongst the crowd of thousands who rallied on the National Mall and then marched past the Capitol building. “We need to end the age of fossil fuels and move on to something better,” Young told the crowd according to Reject and Protect.
Reject and Protect has helped shine a spotlight on the strengthening opposition to Keystone XL amongst ranchers, farmers, and Native American tribes along the pipeline route. Buoyed by the State Department’s recent delay of the project, the Cowboy and Indian Alliance has pledged to intensify their efforts to convince President Obama to “reject” the pipeline and “protect” their families, land, water, treaty rights, and climate.
The event ends on Sunday morning, but protests and awareness of the possible devastation the Keystone XL Pipeline will do to the region will continue ny the Cowboy and Indian Alliance until President Obama rejects the project and protects mother earth.

Mexican Fiesta 2014 Will Continue To Profile And Discriminate Hispanic Festivalgoers

Mexican Fiesta organizers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to continue profiling and discriminating against Latinos and non-Hispanics for exhibiting body and facial tattoos not in good taste for the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation Board.

By H. Nelson Goodson April 25, 2014

Milwaukee, WI – Mexican Fiesta 2014 at Summerfest grounds, which are city owned plans to use once again the Milwaukee police intelligence center to profile festivalgoers as alleged gang members for exhibiting body and facial tattoos or certain clothing to expell them without returning refunds or deny them admittance to the three day event without committing any wrong doing (crime) inside the festival grounds.
Last Summer, festival security LPOA (Latino Peace Officer Association) and police were exposed for profiling festivalgoers and kicking out multiple innocent people for exhibiting tattoos not in good taste for festival organizers and wearing clothing not approved by security without returning refunds. Fiesta organizers conspired to keep refunds, by knowingly expelling profiled victims and not offering them refunds. Shameful Mexican Fiesta organizers, more transparency and accountability needed for the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation Board who sponsor Mexican Fiesta!

VA Administration Admits Deported Veteran Eligible For Earned Pension, But Has To Be In U.S. For Appointment

Barajas, a deported U.S. Veteran won’t get a VA Administration appointment to apply for his eligible earned military pension unless he appears in person at a U.S. VA location.

Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico – On Thursday, Hector Barajas, a U.S. deported Veteran living in Tijuana says, that he received a call from the Veteran’s Administration confirming that he is eligible to apply for his earned military pension, but the VA won’t schedule an appointment to apply because he has to be present in the U.S. Barajas says, that the VA’s Foreign Medical Program can’t do anything for him, since he doesn’t have a rating. He is now considering filing a federal lawsuit to challenge the current policy of the VA Administration to require all deported U.S. Veteran’s to apply in person when applying or being scheduled for an appointment to initiate a pension or medical benefits process.
Barajas in one of hundreds of U.S. deported Veterans facing the same dilemma, which many deported Veterans are cheated out of their earned benefits by the VA and U.S. government under the Obama administration.
Yesterday, a funeral was held for former U.S. Army Sergeant Hector Manuel Barrios, 70, who passed away from a heart stroke in Tijuana. Barrios, a Vietnam deported Veteran had attempted to apply for his disability medical benefits for years and was denied because he couldn’t be physically present in the U.S. to apply. Barrios was a decorated hero who received head injuries when an explosive device exploded in Vietnam, just several months before ending his service.
Barrios suffered for years from post traumatic stress and from his head injuries and never received medical benefits from the VA after he was deported to Mexico.
Barajas operates the Deported Veterans Support House in the Tijuana area.
The Obama administration should open VA Administration clinics along major U.S. border crossings or U.S. Embassies to allow deported U.S. Veterans the opportunity to apply for their earned benefits afforded by the U.S. Congress.
Barajas and Barrios are just several cases of the many deported U.S. Veterans that have been left without pension or medical benefits from the U.S. government. The VA offers certain benefits to U.S. Veterans that live abroad, but no information or statistics have been released to indicate that deported Veterans do receive such benefits, possibly because to date most don’t receive them, even when applying.According to an article in January 2013, the Military dot com quoted VA’s spokeswoman Jo Schuda that deported U.S. Veterans who already had VA medical benefits can apply for their continued benefits through the VA’s Foreign Medical Program. Even deported Veterans eligible for educational benefits can apply as long the foreign educational institution is credible and accepted by the government. The earned service pension can still be sought by the deported Veteran, as to how many deported U.S. Veterans have taken advantage of these VA services is unknown, because most of those deported are not informed of their rights to continue to get VA earned pensions, medical benefits abroad and continued education.
Barajas claims, that his research has turned up between 3,000 to 30,000 of U.S. Veterans that have been deported since 1996.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following estimates. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removal services have deported 57 in 2009 and the deportations doubled every year. In 2010, 114 were removed, 228 in 2011 and so on, according to Barajas. He has personally identified about 200 U.S. Veterans heroes who were deported by ICE to 19 different countries.

Hector Barajas can be contacted at 626-569-5491 U.S. or 664-504-7592 Mex.

Bundy, A Navada Republican Rancher Believes Negroes Better Off As Slaves

Bundy gain recent national publicity by challenging the federal government on its land restrictions limiting where his cattle can graze on.

April 24, 2014

Bunkerville, Navada – The Navada Republican conservative rancher, Cliven Bundy, 67, who recently gained national attention after challenging the federal government land restrictions that limited his cattle where to graze has made news again. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rangers under a federal court order attempted to confiscate about 500 cattle from Bundy. Bundy’s cattle had been grazing on government land since 1993. The rangers confronted Bundy and his armed supporters in the attempt and the rangers backed off from confiscating the cattle.
According to the feds, Bundy owes about $1.2M in grazing fee taxes since 1993, which he was allowed to pay $1.35 per month for each of the 150 cows under agreement. More than 200 cows have crossed over into federal lands. In the stand-off with the feds, the cows were released back to Bundy.
The armed militia that gathered to support Bundy were prepared to exchange gunfire with the feds and local sheriff’s office. The BLM rangers backed down and released the cows. Some militia members say, that they were ready to exchange gunfire with federal rangers.
The federal government is accused of allowing federal contractors and BLM rangers kill dozens of stray cows and bulls that graze on government land along the Virgin River. The government land is not fenced. A mass grave was discovered where the carcasses were dumped by the feds.
But Bundy’s recent comments targeting Blacks has numerous federal politicians backing away support for the rancher after he made some racist comments about African-Americans and suggested that Blacks would be better off a slaves who he labed as “negro” during a New York Times (NY Times) article.
Bundy stated according to the New York Times, “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.
“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”
Several U.S. Senators have condemned his racist statements. Senator Dean Heller (R-Nevada) distance himself from Bundy and his spokesperson told the NY Times, that Heller “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.”
Also, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) who supported Bundy’s cattle grazing cause released the following statement, that “His remarks on race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him.”
