I-Adelante: Ngaphakathi kunyulo, iimpembelelo kunye neenkqubo zoPolitiko lweNJ

Esinye sezixeko zaseLatino zeli lizwe, iNew Jersey ibanga irhuluneli efuna iofisi ephezulu ngengxoxo yenqaku elinobubele laseSpanishi, iingongoma eziphambili zempikiswano kwingxoxo yelizwe yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe emele ukuguqula amandla ezopolitiko zika-2016 zikamongameli, iindawo zemfazwe zalapha zibonisa utshintsho ubudlelwane phakathi kwamaqela eLatino, kunye nokushukuma okuqhubekayo kokuhamba kancinci koomatshini beqela kwimisebenzi ye-18% okanye ye-1.5 yezigidi zabemi bakarhulumente.

Unyulo olubalulekileyo lwamva nje lwenzeka ePaterson.

Ukuhluthwa emva kwamaxesha amabini e-ofisini njengo-dolophu kwaye wehliselwa kwimisebenzi emhlophe yemihla ngemihla engahambeli mbulelo ovela kwidolophu yakhe ukuya ezantsi e-Ocean County, uJose Joey Torres wanyikima abanye babaxhasi bakhe kunyaka ophelileyo xa wayebhengeza injongo yakhe yokufuna ixesha lesithathu. iinqaba

Aba baxhasi babemkhathalela uTorres.

Bafumene ukuba i-Ocean yayikukuhamba ixesha elide, kodwa nabo babengafuni ukumbona eqhutywa ngumatshini weqela lesithili.

Kodwa uTorres ozimiseleyo wabalekela usodolophu nakanjani, waqinisa isiseko sakhe sasePuerto Rican, wasebenzisa ithuba lobukho kwindawo yokuvota yomgqatswa we-At-Large Dominican u-Alex Mendez, kwaye wakha umanyano lwedolophu, ngakumbi kubandakanya noluntu lwasePeru lwePaterson.

Sithumele umyalezo kuJoey ngethuba lokugqibela xa simgxotha eofisini, umvoti uxelele iPolitickerNJ apho wayehleli khona kumanqanaba angaphambili kwigumbi lakhe leWadi yokuqala kwimpelaveki engaphambi koSuku loNyulo.

Ufumene umyalezo, yongeza le ndoda. Ngoku, makhe sibone ukuba wenza njani okwesithathu.

Ukuphumelela kukaTorres okweyisayo- (8,382 kukhuphiswano olusondeleyo kuye lwe-6,633) wayenesandi esithile saseNorth Jersey seLatinos, intshatsheli yakhe yaseNewark, u-Council Ward wase-North u-Anibal Ramos, owayelilungu elide kumbutho we-County, wayesele eyilahlile eyakhe ibhodi kasodolophu eNewark. kunye nokuxhasa ukuphulukana nomgqatswa uShavar Jeffries kwinto eyaba lukhuphiswano lwama-Afrika onke aseMelika.

Igqala leDemokhrasi elakha unxibelelwano olusisiseko olwaludinga ekuhlaleni kwaye lixhomekeke kunxibelelwano lwabo banikelayo (kubandakanya namanye amaRiphabhlikhi) ukoyisa ababengamahlakani kwiqela lakhe, uTorres wenza enye ingxelo yezopolitiko emva konyulo xa wazimanya noSodolophu weSixeko saseJersey uSteven Fulop kunye USodolophu u-Ras Baraka, wenza into eyachazwa ngumntu ongaphakathi njenge-troker engcwele ye-broker. Ukusuka ekhohlo: Torres, Baraka, Fulop.

Akukho ajenda yezopolitiko yaseLatino idibeneyo eNew Jersey, utshilo u-Idida Rodriguez, owayengumcebisi omkhulu kwi-Torres Campaign. Kukho iipokotho, umdla, kodwa eyona nto iphambili kukufumana indawo yencoko kunye nethemba kwaye kufuneka unike abantu umbono wehorizon.

UTorres wayekuloo ndawo, ibali elitsha laseNew Jersey elibekwe ngokuchasene nomqolo obanzi wokulandelelana kwamabali.

Abahlobo bam abakwiCaribbean, nokuba yiHaiti okanye iJamaica, okanye ezantsi eMzantsi Melika, eArgentina, ayinamsebenzi, utshilo usodolophu kaPaterson. Imiba iyafana. Akukho Latino, mnyama okanye mhlophe. Into esidibanisa njengeLatinos ziilwimi zethu namasiko ethu. Kubalulekile ukuba abawisi-mthetho kunye neenkokheli ezikhethiweyo baqonde ukuba sonke sijamelana neengxaki ezifanayo.

Ekuphela kwabantu abathetha ngezo ngxaki ngoku ziiDemokhrasi, kwaye njengoko ndibabona, ngamalungelo abasetyhini, amalungelo alinganayo, ukuqinisekiswa kweekholeji, umvuzo omncinci ofanelekileyo, izibonelelo zokugula, kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo lwesizwe. Le yimicimbi ethi ngandlela thile ibume okanye yenze imidla yoluntu esabelana ngayo. URodriguez ngexesha loNyulo lukaSodolophu lukaPaterson.

Ekukhokeleni kunyulo luka-2016 lukamongameli, Ngokucacileyo, amanani kwilizwe lonke abonisa iLatinos kwindawo ekhethekileyo, usodolophu wongeze. Sithathwa njengevoti yokuguqula.

Kodwa, wongeze ehleka, mhlawumbi ngokukhumbula amaqhinga awawasebenzisileyo kunyulo lwakhe kulo nyaka uphelileyo, asijiki ngokulula. Sifuna ubunkokheli kwaye sifuna isicwangciso. Abantu baseRiphabhlikhi baye babambezeleka kancinci ekuboneni amandla abagqatswa baseLatino bokunyusa i-ajenda yabo. Irhuluneli [Tom] Kean wathetha ngokuba liqela lesiphelo kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, kodwa khange lihambe njalo, ubukhulu becala. Icala elisecaleni kwinto ebonakalayo phaya ngumbutho weDemokhrasi othatha kancinci indawo yaseLatino.

I-Puerto Rican eneengcambu ezinzulu zosapho ePaterson, uTorres waphinda waqinisekisa ukubusa kunye nokuwela amandla kwezopolitiko zasePuerto Rican, kodwa ukuphumelela kwakhe kwakuyeyona nto inkulu phakathi kwamanqanaba amabali amancinci aseLatino, amanye awo anika imizekelo yokuxhotyiswa kwezopolitiko kwiindawo ezisakhulayo .

I-Angle yeNgingqi

Uluntu lwaseSpain lwahluke kakhulu, kodwa babelana ngezinto ezininzi, utshilo u-Elizabeth Board of Education, uCarlos Trujillo. Sonke sihamba sinethemba lobomi obungcono kwaye oko kuthetha izinto ezininzi kubantu abaninzi abohlukeneyo. Oko sijamelene nako kwiidolophu ezisezidolophini njengoElizabethe zizithintelo kulwimi ucalucalulo kunye nobumi besibini.

Kodwa obo budlelwane babuxhalabile xa iingxaki zedolophu iphela, kubandakanya ityala lobuqhetseba lesidlo sasemini esikolweni elenza buthathaka umbutho weBOE, lwenza kwanzima kuChristie ukuhlala kufutshane, njengoko umvuzo werhuluneli owawubonwa ngokubamba nokuncwina eElizabeth wawungakhange ububaluleke ubuthi bezopolitiko zalapha.

Umsebenzi kaChristie waseLatino

Ukuvela kwalowo wayesakuba yiRhuluneli yaseFlorida uJeb Bush njengomgqatswa wobongameli sele enemithombo yeRiphabhlikhi yaseLatino engathandabuzekiyo malunga namandla kaChristie okutshisa indawo ephambili yokuthengisa kuzwelonke kwirhuluneli yaseNew Jersey: inyani yokuba i-51% ye-Hispanics yamvotela ngo-2013.

U-Toast, umthombo we-GAT waseLatino uxelele iPolitickerNJ, ethetha kuphela kwimeko yokungaziwa, ejonga emva kwimbali yezopolitiko apho uChristie wabonakala ethatha lonke ithuba lokubonisa ukusondela kwakhe kwiLatinos, kugqityiwe kukusayina kwakhe kwe-2014 yeNew Jersey Dream Act. , evumela abafundi abaze eMelika ngokungekho mthethweni ukuba bahlawule imali yokufunda kwiiyunivesithi zikarhulumente.

UCaride kunye no-US Rep. UBill Pascrell (D-9).

I-Assemblywoman uMarlene Caride (D-36) - isithili esingama-26% eLatino kwaye esiquka iPassaic City -sithi kuzo zonke iinzame zika-Alonso zokuthengisa iiLatinos kwi-ajenda eluncedo, umyalezo uyasilela kwidin yelinye iqela elingancediyo leRiphabliki.

AmaRiphabhlikhi ahlala ecotha ukwenza ngeLatinos, ngelixa iiDemokhrasi zihlala zijonge ukukubandakanya, utshilo uCaride. Abantu baseRiphabhlikhi abakhange batyhale okokonyulo lwesibini lukaBarack Obama ngenxa yamanani eFlorida. Ngoku bathi bafuna ukuba ngumbutho oquka konke. Kodwa noChristie akazange alwamkele uluntu lwethu. Wavula i-ofisi ePaterson [ngo-2013] ngenxa yokuba olo lonyulo [luka-2012] lubeka imboniso kuluntu lwaseSpain. Kodwa asilulo uluntu olulala e-helm. Siyatyhala.

Ndonwabile irhuluneli ityikitye i-American Dream bill, kodwa yintoni enye ayenzileyo eluntwini? UCaride wayefuna ukwazi. Wabanika into, ababengenayo. Abaphambukeli abangenawo amaphepha ngoku banakho ukuhlawula imali yokufunda ngakwilizwe kodwa kusekho umlo woncedo lwezezimali. Ngaba siphumelele edabini? Ewe. Ngaba siyiphumelele imfazwe? Hayi. Owayesakuba liBhunga likaPaterson uRigo Rodriguez: ukuvalwa ebomini kwiofisi yoluntu emva kwetyala lobuqhetseba lokuvota.

Iipesenti ezilishumi elinesibhozo zabemi ezenza iLatinos ibe lelona qaqobana lincinci eNew Jersey, kodwa uluntu luphela lwabavoti ababhalisiweyo linamanani angama-579,006 kuphela.

Isimo esichazwe gwenxa okanye esingabonakaliyo sabathile senza ukuba ubhaliso lwabavoti lube sisindululo esinameva. U-Paterson Councilman u-Rigo Rodriguez, owayekade ethembisa kwaye efika kwindawo yase-Dominican, wawela ngaphaya komgaqo, wenza ubuqhetseba babavoti, kwaye kunyaka ophelileyo watya isithintelo sobomi kwiofisi yoluntu.

Kodwa neentshaba zakhe zabuza ixesha lokugwetywa kwakhe, okwenzeka emva kokuba ebalekele usodolophu kunyaka ophelileyo kwicandelo elibandakanya uTorres, washiya ephila mhlawumbi ukuyodaka intsimi kunye nokwenza buthathaka usodolophu obuyayo. URodriguez ubeke indawo yesihlanu kwicandelo labasibhozo.

Abo bazntywilisela kwiqela bahlala kwinceba yezopolitiko zoomatshini eNew Jersey.

Ixesha elide elilindelweyo le-Assemblyman uCarmelo Garcia kwi-LD33-isithili sesithathu esiseLatino kurhulumente kwi-39% - ubuza umbuzo wokuba ngubani oza kungena endaweni yetikiti. UGarcia uthathe indawo yomntu owayesakuba yiNdibano, uRuben Ramos waseHoboken, utitshala kwezorhwebo kunye nenye inkwenkwezi eyaphuma ngexesha elinye eyayibaleka umbutho xa yenqaba ukuxhasa ipensheni kaChristie kunye nezibonelelo. Umthombo omnye unenkxalabo, ngaba ukubuyiselwa endaweni ye-Hispanic? Indibano yeNdibano uCarmelo Garcia (D-33), eHoboken.

Ngaba iya kubaluleka?

Kwi-LD31 (i-22% yeLatino), i-Hudson County Democratic Organisation (HCDO) ayibonakali ikulungele ukuhlala isi-Hispanic, njengoko umbutho uphikisana malunga nesiphelo se-African-American Assemblyman uCharles Mainor.

Kwaye ePassaic County, umbutho weDemokhrasi uhlengahlengise umhlala-phantsi wesikhulu sokuqala seLatina kwimbali yenqila, u-Sonia Rosado, ngokucofa indawo engena-Latina.

Ngaphantsi kwayo yonke imililo kunye neepolitiki, ngaba igama u-Latino okanye u-Latina liba kukucaphukisa kwabangengoma-Latinos?

Kumbuzo wokugqibela, igqala leBhodi yezeMfundo uElizabeth u-Rafael Fajardo wasebenza kumlo wedabi loSuku loNyulo ngoMeyi ka-2011. Xa wayechazelwa ngento eyayibonakala ngathi ngumsebenzi ocwangciswe kakuhle kwicala lakhe lobutshaba obukrakra, besithili ngokubanzi, kwezopolitiko inkokeli ivele ngokungathandabuzekiyo okomzuzwana.

Ngokwenene? Utsho, amehlo ethe ntsho ngenkxalabo. Ngokwenene?

Wayenexhala, uxelelwe inyani, wavuma, malunga nokubuyela umva kwi-Hispanics.

Kule veki, uye wongeza inkxalabo yakhe eqhubekayo.

Oku kuyenzeka elizweni, yatsho inkokheli yezopolitiko yalapha. Abantu bayathandabuza iiLatinos. Akukho mathandabuzo malunga nefuthe lamaLatinos kule ndawo, naseFlorida, eTexas naseCalifornia. Silelona qela lincinci kweli lizwe. Kodwa xa oko kwabhengezwa, ndacinga, oko kuzakudala iingxaki kuba abantu bazakuthi ‘siphulukana nelizwe lethu.’ Inyani yomcimbi yiLatinos iyafana. Kodwa kwiindawo ezinje ngoElizabeth zahlule, wahlule kwaye woyise ingqondo.

Baxelela uluntu ngokuzolileyo 'bayathatha,' nto leyo edala uxinzelelo lobuhlanga kwiqela lethu, wongeze watsho uFajardo. Kukho uvakalelo oluchasene neLatino kuluntu lwaseAfrika lwaseMelika. Iyaqondakala. Abantu base-Afrika baseMelika bahlawula ixabiso elinzima. Asikhange sihlawule xabiso xa sifika kweli lizwe. Kukho inzondo. Kuza kubakho iminyaka enzima ngaphambili kodwa ndiyakholelwa kubukhulu beli lizwe. UFajardo ucheba iinwele e-Elizabeth ngoSuku loNyulo kunyaka ophelileyo.

U-Obama, uHlaziyo loFuduko, kunye neMenendez

Ngo-Novemba wonyaka ophelileyo, emva konyulo apho iqela lakhe laphulukana nolawulo lweNdlu yeeNgwevu yase-US, uMongameli u-Barack Obama wafuduka ngomyalelo wokukhusela abasebenzi abazizigidi ezi-5 abangenazo iimpepha.

Asizukucinezela umntu wasemzini kuba siyayazi intliziyo yomntu wasemzini-sasingabasemzini nakanye, utshilo u-Obama.

Ipolitiki yokuqala yaseNew Jersey ukuba isabele kwesi sibhengezo, uMenendez wakhupha kwangoko impendulo eshicilelwe kwividiyo exhasa uMongameli, umthetho wakhe unokuchaphazela abasebenzi abangama-528,000 abangenaxwebhu eNew Jersey.

Kuba lonke ixesha bendihlala kubomi boluntu, bendisoloko ndilwela inguqu yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe, utshilo uSenator wase-US ovela eNew Jersey. Umphezulu wepiramidi kwi-New Jersey Power Politics- nakwi-National Latino Politics: US Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).

Lo ngumzuzu obalulekileyo- hayi kuphela kwiintsapho zabaphambukeli kunye noluntu- kodwa kubo bonke abantu baseMelika. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba isenzo sikaMongameli sokuthintela ukugxothwa kwezigidi zabantu malunga nokuziphendulela hayi ukuxolelwa, malunga nokugxotha izaphuli-mthetho hayi iintsapho, izaphuli-mthetho hayi abantwana.

Imizamo yakhe ye-NJ DREAM Act yaphazanyiswa yingxelo kamongameli ebabazekayo, uChristie, kwelakhe icala, wakhalaza esithi umongameli ugqithe ngamandla akhe olawulo.

Andicingi ukuba wenza ntoni ngokuhlwanje, indlela ayenzayo ngayo inceda ekwakheni ubudlelwane obunokuthenjwa, uChristie uxelele i-CBS News.

UPhil Alagia, igqala leqela leDemocratic Party elisebenza kunye nomphathi omkhulu kuChristie ally IHonduran-American Essex County Freeholder uRolando Bobadilla, ekhohlo, kunye noDiVincenzo.

UDiVincenzo, uthe uthathile ingqalelo isibhengezo sika-Obama njengesibetho sezopolitiko. Ndacinga ukuba yayilixesha lokuqala apho athatha inkunzi yenkomo ngeempondo, u-Alagia uxelele iPolitickerNJ.

Kudala esondele kuChristie, kwaye oyena mntu ubalaseleyo kwiDemokhrasi kurhulumente ukuxhasa unyulo lukaChristie lwango-2013, uDiVincenzo ngoku wayenombandela obalulekileyo wokuzibophelela ngokuqinileyo kwiqela lakhe.

I-GOP iqale ukubambeka kwangoko, kwaye kwinyanga ephelileyo, kwiveki ephelileyo iRiphabhlikhi yaseNdlwini ivotele ukuguqula isenzo sika-Mongameli, evuma umthetho wokuguqula isicwangciso sika-Obama sokubonelela ngoncedo lokugxothwa kunye neemvume zokusebenza kubantu abamalunga nezigidi ezi-4 zokungena elizweni ngokungekho semthethweni uMenendez wajoyina i-US Rep. U-Luis Gutierrez (D-Il) kunye namalungu e-National Latino Evangelical Coalition ukuba aqalise ukhenketho lwesizwe olujolise ekukhuseleni i-oda kamongameli yokufuduka.

Lo ngumba wamalungelo oluntu exesha lethu, utshilo uGutierrez (emfanekisweni, ekunene, noMeenndez), othe wafanisa umlo wokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe noSelma ngoo-1960. Siya eTampa, eOrlando, eHouston, eCharlotte.

Isithethi Prieto

Kukho iingqikelelo ezenziweyo, utshilo umthombo. Ingxaki esisiseko kukuba igama elithi 'Latino' lisetyenziswa njengesiphelo endaweni yenkcazo.

Sonke siphoswe kunye kwaye sizizo ngokwethu, kwaye ngenxa yokuzikhusela siyivumele ukuba yenzeke kodwa inyani ligama akufuneki libe sisiphelo kodwa inkcazo, umthombo wongezwa. Awuthethi enye into ngaphandle kokuchaza abo bantu banemvelaphi yaseSpain, ekunokwenzeka ukuba ingumKatolika kunye nezinto eziqhelekileyo. Isiphetho sicinga ukuba ezo zinto zixhaphakileyo zisibopha ngenjongo efanayo, kwaye ayiyonyani leyo.

Umthombo uthe abantu basePuerto Rico abanaso isiseko semali abanaso abantu baseCuba.

Kananjalo abanayo iMenendez.

Kodwa banamanani.

Ngokobalo luka-2010, abantu basePuerto Ricans bakhokela uluhlu lwamaqela amaSpanishi eNew Jersey — ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngama-434,092, kulandele amaMexico (217,715), amaDominican (197,922), amaColombia (101,593), amaEcuadorian (100,480), amaCuba (83,362) , AbasePeru (75,869) kunye nabaseSalvador (56,532).

IiCuba zezesithandathu kuluhlu, umthombo uphawuliwe- ngohlangothi.

Isithandathu.

Kwaye okwangoku, eli qela line-Senator yase-U.S (u-Bob Menendez), u-Congressman (u-Albio Sires, oboniswe ngezantsi, ngasekunene), Somlomo we-General Assembly (Vincent USilva, kunene, kunye noSires.

UMilly Silva, usekela-mongameli olawulayo kunye ne-SEIU 1199 kunye nomgqatswa ongaphumelelanga kwirhuluneli ye-lieutenant kwi-tikiti ye-Democratic Republic ka-Barbara Buono ka-2013, ubona ukuqhuba kuwo omabini la maqela ngamanqweno okhetho ajonge kwilizwe lonke kwaye ajonge kwilizwe lonke-ukuthintela ukuthanda kwe-Hispanics. Uyazi ivoti yaseLatino, njengoko kuchongwa njengesiqhelo.

Kodwa inyani kukuba unemali yokulingana, echaphazela abantu bazo zonke izizwe, utshilo uSilva kwiPolitickerNJ. Ngumcimbi omhlophe, umnyama, kunye nomcimbi waseLatino. Kulapho kufuneka sibambe onke amagosa anyuliweyo ukuba aphendule. Kuza kubakho njani ukulingana kwezoqoqosho kuye wonke umntu ohlala kweli lizwe? Ndime ngasemva ndaye ndajonga kwaye abantu banokufuna ukuzazisa njengabavela kwindawo ethile okanye neqela elithile kodwa iLatinos, kwaye ngakumbi amaLatinos amancinci, abazithathi njengabazelwe kulo naliphi na iqela. Bacinga ngemicimbi efana nokufikeleleka kweekholeji, ezinqumleza imigca yamaqela, kwaye bazimisele ukubhengeza ukuhanahanisa kunye nohanahaniso. Abantu abasebenzayo bafuna umvuzo ophilayo kwaye bafuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantwana bethu xa besiya esikolweni, abayi kudutyulwa.

UTorres use-ofisini kwakhona ePaterson, egade amaqela omabini, kwaye ezimisele ukukhohlisa nalinye, esazi ukuba baya kwenza okufanayo nakuye, utsho-kwaye ngoku ubonakala ngathi ukweloo xesha lomsebenzi wakhe, ikhondo lomsebenzi njengosindileyo- Apho xa esithi unethemba ngekamva, uthetha oko, kwangaxeshanye angaze aphulukane ne-pragmatism yakhe.

Iidemokhrasi, iqela labantu abahluphekileyo, lisithathile, kwaye kungcono baqale ukujongana nabemi, utshilo usodolophu. Baphulukene nezindlu zombini, ngoku le [oda yolawulo ka-Obama ekufudukeni] yindlela yokuyityhalela phaya phandle. Le kuphela kwendlela anayo ngoku.

Ngokubhekisele kwikamva le-Hispanics, Ekupheleni kosuku, imalunga nokwakha umanyano, utshilo uMartinez, iqabane eliphambili kuTorres kwiphulo lakhe losodolophu ePaterson kunyaka ophelileyo. Kuyimpazamo enkulu ukucinga ukuba sikho sodwa. Kuyimpazamo enkulu ukukholelwa ukuba le micimbi yeyethu sodwa. Sonke siza apha ngenxa yeemeko ezahlukeneyo kodwa sakuba sifikile apha siyinxalenye yeqela elikhulu. Nje ukuba silapha kufuneka sakhe umanyano ukuze siphile. Kuya kufuneka siqale senze eyethu indawo ngembali. Ipolitiki yendawo, iBhodi yezeMfundo kunye nezopolitiko zedolophu kunye needolophu, nguloo mda olandelayo, kuba kulapho abantu bafumana khona impembelelo kwangoko.
