His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Cohen told Congress that Trump remained involved in paying hush money to a porn film actress even after arriving in the White House and directed him to lie about it. California lawmakers played a prominent role in the hearing on Capitol Hill, with some of the most pointed questions coming from Silicon Valley congressman Ro Khanna and Southern California Rep.

Cohen told Congress that Trump remained involved in paying hush money to a porn film actress even after arriving in the White House and directed him to lie about it. California lawmakers played a prominent role in the hearing on Capitol Hill, with some of the most pointed questions coming from Silicon Valley congressman Ro Khanna and Southern California Rep.

In fact, Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned two Berkeley-based reporters that simply possessing this never-before-publicly released list of convicted cops is a violation of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training — known as POST — provided the information last month in response to routine public records requests from reporters for the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley and its production arm, Investigative Studios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Becerra’s office learned about the disclosure, it threatened the reporters with legal action unless they destroyed the records, insisting they are confidential under state law and were released inadvertently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two journalism organizations have rejected the attorney general's demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s disheartening and ominous that the highest law enforcement officer in the state is threatening legal action over something the First Amendment makes clear can’t give rise to criminal action against a reporter,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a San Rafael-based nonprofit that advocates for free speech and open records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The documents provide a rare glimpse at the volume of officer misconduct at a time of heightened interest over police accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list includes cops who trafficked drugs, cops who stole money from their departments and even one who robbed a bank wearing a fake beard. Some sexually assaulted suspects. Others took bribes, filed false reports and committed perjury. A large number drove under the influence of drugs and alcohol — sometimes killing people on the road.\u003cbr>\n[aside label=\"Police Secrets Revealed\" tag=\"police-records\"]\u003cbr>\nThe Berkeley journalists chose not to publish the entire list until they could spend more time reporting to avoid misidentifying people among the nearly 12,000 names in the documents, said John Temple, director of the Investigative Reporting Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the details are stunning in a state where officials have fought for years to keep virtually any record of police misconduct a secret. And they come amid a larger battle playing out in courtrooms throughout the state over California’s new police transparency law, Senate Bill 1421. Law enforcement groups have sued to limit the impact of that law, arguing it shouldn’t expose police disciplinary records created before the law took effect on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra himself has rejected public records requests from his own agency, and he is now being sued by the First Amendment Coalition for failing to comply. Many other agencies in California have followed the attorney general’s lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you disclose a document that’s confidential and private, you can’t take it back,” Becerra told reporters earlier this month. ”You don’t get a second chance to get it right, you got to get it right the first time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that law has garnered the most attention and a public fight over police disciplinary records, it was another law that took effect Jan. 1 that led to the disclosure of the convictions of thousands of law enforcement officers and applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Secret List\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into a public safety omnibus bill last year was a provision allowing the state’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to keep records showing when current or former law enforcement officers are convicted of a felony — or other crime that would disqualify them from being a cop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police departments often call up POST’s records as part of the routine background check process when hiring new officers. But until the law changed, POST only labeled someone as being disqualified from serving in law enforcement when the person was convicted and had exhausted all appeals — which could take years and was difficult to track. The new law allows them to disqualify someone after a conviction, according to a POST spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So at the start of this year, Becerra’s office provided POST for the first time a list of what the agency says are convictions of current and former law enforcement officers and people who at one time had applied to become a cop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POST provided 10 years’ worth of convictions — nearly 12,000 names in all — to the Berkeley-based investigative reporting organizations in early January in response to a public records request. Three weeks later the attorney general's office sent a letter saying the records were “inadvertently” released and were considered confidential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Becerra’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11699925/probe-into-corrupt-cops-in-kern-county-deepens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Probe Into Corrupt Cops in Kern County Deepens\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11699925/probe-into-corrupt-cops-in-kern-county-deepens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/kern-county-sheriff-1180x664.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Nic Marais, an attorney with Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP representing Investigative Studios, said the state’s assertions that the documents had been released “inadvertently” was hard to believe given that POST spent four weeks weighing the reporters’ request. In a letter to the attorney general, Marais wrote that because the documents appear to be a summary of public records, the disclosure exemptions cited by POST and attorney general's office do not apply.

And they come amid a larger battle playing out in courtrooms throughout the state over California’s new police transparency law, Senate Bill 1421. Law enforcement groups have sued to limit the impact of that law, arguing it shouldn’t expose police disciplinary records created before the law took effect on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra himself has rejected public records requests from his own agency, and he is now being sued by the First Amendment Coalition for failing to comply. Many other agencies in California have followed the attorney general’s lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you disclose a document that’s confidential and private, you can’t take it back,” Becerra told reporters earlier this month. ”You don’t get a second chance to get it right, you got to get it right the first time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that law has garnered the most attention and a public fight over police disciplinary records, it was another law that took effect Jan. 1 that led to the disclosure of the convictions of thousands of law enforcement officers and applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Secret List\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into a public safety omnibus bill last year was a provision allowing the state’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to keep records showing when current or former law enforcement officers are convicted of a felony — or other crime that would disqualify them from being a cop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police departments often call up POST’s records as part of the routine background check process when hiring new officers. But until the law changed, POST only labeled someone as being disqualified from serving in law enforcement when the person was convicted and had exhausted all appeals — which could take years and was difficult to track. The new law allows them to disqualify someone after a conviction, according to a POST spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So at the start of this year, Becerra’s office provided POST for the first time a list of what the agency says are convictions of current and former law enforcement officers and people who at one time had applied to become a cop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POST provided 10 years’ worth of convictions — nearly 12,000 names in all — to the Berkeley-based investigative reporting organizations in early January in response to a public records request. Three weeks later the attorney general's office sent a letter saying the records were “inadvertently” released and were considered confidential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Becerra’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11699925/probe-into-corrupt-cops-in-kern-county-deepens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Probe Into Corrupt Cops in Kern County Deepens\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11699925/probe-into-corrupt-cops-in-kern-county-deepens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/kern-county-sheriff-1180x664.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Nic Marais, an attorney with Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP representing Investigative Studios, said the state’s assertions that the documents had been released “inadvertently” was hard to believe given that POST spent four weeks weighing the reporters’ request.

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos. Pero cerrar nuestro gobierno — y dejar sin empleo o pago a cientos de miles de trabajadores no es la manera de hacerlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la idea de declarar un estado de emergencia en la frontera cuando uno no existe, para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados de los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, para pagar por el muro no solo es inmoral, es ilegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estamos listos para rechazar esta propuesta insensata, en la corte, en el momento que toque la tierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El muro en la frontera no es la única barrera que estamos viendo de esta administración que trata de construir: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están poniendo un muro entre usted y su médico, dictando cuales servicios puede recibir. Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron. En las elecciones de noviembre, Latinos, especialmente los jóvenes, salieron a votar en números históricos. Gracias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Qué más? Ellos ponen un muro entre nuestros veteranos y sus servicios médicos. Ellos estan listos de malgastar miliones de dolares para un muro fronterizo en vez de ayudarles a nuestros veteranos que se enfrentan demasiadas demoras en los hospitales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y ellos también construyen también un muro entre padres y hijos, al meter a niños en jaulas que los separan de sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amigos, créanmelo, podemos tumbar muros y abrir puertas con nuestros manos. Es más, ya lo hicimos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No me lo creen? Con sus votos el noviembre pasado, ustedes cambiaron la composición del congreso. Los votos de los congresistas con quienes contaba el presidente, ya no los tiene. Ahora él tiene que aprender lo que es gobernar en una democracia. Ya no puede ignorar a los Demócratas. Y por eso no tiene su muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su voto en noviembre cambio los votos en el congreso. Y eso ha cambiado la política de nuestra nación. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahora que ven su poder, ¿están listos para abrir nuevas puertas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No les parece que ya es ahora de que nosotros y nuestro gobierno construya escuelas, no muros? ¡Entonces, prepárense, esas manos pueden cambiar mucho, esas manos pueden cambiar con la próxima votación!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuestro sistema demócrata premia a la participación de todos. Y con 66,000 ciudadanos Latinos cumpliendo 18 años de edad, la edad de votación, cada mes, tenemos muchas manos que premiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagínense si tuviéramos el poder de decidir la agenda política de esta nación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores escuelas . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Un cuidado médico para su familia que los políticos no le pueden quitar . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sueldos con beneficios y protecciones en el empleo . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores leyes para proteger nuestras familias y nuestra policía del violento uso de las armas de fuego . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protección permanente para los Soñadores, los Dreamers . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyes que protegen el agua que tomamos y el aire que respiramos . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una reforma migratoria integral para reparar el sistema roto . . . Check. Check. Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta no es la agenda que presentó el presidente. Pero estas son las soluciones que abren puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En las cortes o en el Congreso o en las urnas de la votación, tenemos que luchar por nuestra agenda. Por eso es que yo he luchado como fiscal general en la corte contra la administración del presidente. Y estamos ganando:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de DACA, luchamos y ganamos para los 700,000 jóvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de salud Obamacare, somos los protagonistas. Más de 4 millones de Latinos dependen en Obamacare para su seguro médico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger los estudiantes universitarios contra préstamos fraudulentos, luchamos y ganamos por miles de ellos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hace dos semanas, mis padres celebraron 66 años de matrimonio. Empezaron su viaje juntos solo con su fe. Todavía recuerdan los días cuando no podían cruzar las puertas de restaurantes debido a los letreros que les decían: \"Los perros o mexicanos no permitidos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con los años, han recibido los premios de su labor y dedicación a su familia. No hay duda de que el \"estado de la unión\" de María Teresa y Manuel Becerra es fuerte y sólido.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si les preguntamos a ellos, mis padres, cuales el estado de nuestra nación? Estoy seguro que pintarían un imagen más real que lo que nos presentó el presidente Trump esta noche. Ellos saben lo que significa trabajar duro y respetar las reglas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y bien que saben que para mantenernos fuertes como pueblo unido hay que trabajar juntos y mantener abiertas esas pesadas puertas para que todos nuestros hijos, como los estudiantes de CK McClatchy, puedan cruzar y conocer la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ya sea con marchas en las calles o marchas a las urnas de votación, con luchas en la corte o a través del Congreso, haremos lo que se necesita para asegurar una unión nacional fuerte y vibrante. Amigos, con fe y la fuerza de nuestra labor y respetando las diversas contribuciones del pueblo Americano, los Estados Unidos seguirá siendo el dueño del Sueño Americano.

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos. Pero cerrar nuestro gobierno — y dejar sin empleo o pago a cientos de miles de trabajadores no es la manera de hacerlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la idea de declarar un estado de emergencia en la frontera cuando uno no existe, para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados de los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, para pagar por el muro no solo es inmoral, es ilegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estamos listos para rechazar esta propuesta insensata, en la corte, en el momento que toque la tierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El muro en la frontera no es la única barrera que estamos viendo de esta administración que trata de construir: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están poniendo un muro entre usted y su médico, dictando cuales servicios puede recibir. Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron. En las elecciones de noviembre, Latinos, especialmente los jóvenes, salieron a votar en números históricos. Gracias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Qué más? Ellos ponen un muro entre nuestros veteranos y sus servicios médicos. Ellos estan listos de malgastar miliones de dolares para un muro fronterizo en vez de ayudarles a nuestros veteranos que se enfrentan demasiadas demoras en los hospitales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y ellos también construyen también un muro entre padres y hijos, al meter a niños en jaulas que los separan de sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amigos, créanmelo, podemos tumbar muros y abrir puertas con nuestros manos. Es más, ya lo hicimos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No me lo creen? Con sus votos el noviembre pasado, ustedes cambiaron la composición del congreso. Los votos de los congresistas con quienes contaba el presidente, ya no los tiene. Ahora él tiene que aprender lo que es gobernar en una democracia. Ya no puede ignorar a los Demócratas. Y por eso no tiene su muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su voto en noviembre cambio los votos en el congreso. Y eso ha cambiado la política de nuestra nación. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahora que ven su poder, ¿están listos para abrir nuevas puertas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No les parece que ya es ahora de que nosotros y nuestro gobierno construya escuelas, no muros? ¡Entonces, prepárense, esas manos pueden cambiar mucho, esas manos pueden cambiar con la próxima votación!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuestro sistema demócrata premia a la participación de todos. Y con 66,000 ciudadanos Latinos cumpliendo 18 años de edad, la edad de votación, cada mes, tenemos muchas manos que premiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagínense si tuviéramos el poder de decidir la agenda política de esta nación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores escuelas . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Un cuidado médico para su familia que los políticos no le pueden quitar . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sueldos con beneficios y protecciones en el empleo . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores leyes para proteger nuestras familias y nuestra policía del violento uso de las armas de fuego . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protección permanente para los Soñadores, los Dreamers . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyes que protegen el agua que tomamos y el aire que respiramos . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una reforma migratoria integral para reparar el sistema roto . . . Check. Check. Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta no es la agenda que presentó el presidente. Pero estas son las soluciones que abren puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En las cortes o en el Congreso o en las urnas de la votación, tenemos que luchar por nuestra agenda. Por eso es que yo he luchado como fiscal general en la corte contra la administración del presidente. Y estamos ganando:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de DACA, luchamos y ganamos para los 700,000 jóvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de salud Obamacare, somos los protagonistas. Más de 4 millones de Latinos dependen en Obamacare para su seguro médico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger los estudiantes universitarios contra préstamos fraudulentos, luchamos y ganamos por miles de ellos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hace dos semanas, mis padres celebraron 66 años de matrimonio. Empezaron su viaje juntos solo con su fe. Todavía recuerdan los días cuando no podían cruzar las puertas de restaurantes debido a los letreros que les decían: \"Los perros o mexicanos no permitidos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con los años, han recibido los premios de su labor y dedicación a su familia. No hay duda de que el \"estado de la unión\" de María Teresa y Manuel Becerra es fuerte y sólido.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si les preguntamos a ellos, mis padres, cuales el estado de nuestra nación? Estoy seguro que pintarían un imagen más real que lo que nos presentó el presidente Trump esta noche. Ellos saben lo que significa trabajar duro y respetar las reglas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y bien que saben que para mantenernos fuertes como pueblo unido hay que trabajar juntos y mantener abiertas esas pesadas puertas para que todos nuestros hijos, como los estudiantes de CK McClatchy, puedan cruzar y conocer la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ya sea con marchas en las calles o marchas a las urnas de votación, con luchas en la corte o a través del Congreso, haremos lo que se necesita para asegurar una unión nacional fuerte y vibrante. Amigos, con fe y la fuerza de nuestra labor y respetando las diversas contribuciones del pueblo Americano, los Estados Unidos seguirá siendo el dueño del Sueño Americano.
