Si el IRS traiciona a los inmigrantes, todos pagamos el precio – The Boston Globe - Hecho en California con Marcos Gutierrez

2 months ago | hechoencalifornia1010.com | Marcela García

Tras una reciente columna sobre inmigración, en la que mencioné a un inmigrante sin estatus legal que pagaba impuestos, un lector me escribió para preguntarme: “La persona a la que se refiere en su artículo aparentemente no tiene número de la Seguridad Social. Si es así, ¿cómo podría pagar sus impuestos? El artículo parece afirmar que es contribuyente desde hace años.

Ya es hora de dejar atrás el mito de las “ciudades santuario” – The Boston Globe - Hecho en California con Marcos Gutierrez

2 months ago | hechoencalifornia1010.com | Marcela García

El término “ciudad santuario” nunca ha sido exacto. En realidad, las ciudades no ofrecen “santuario” a los inmigrantes frente a los funcionarios federales de inmigración, que pueden ir — y de hecho van — donde quieran para efectuar detenciones. Es hora de retirar el término, que ahora está haciendo mucho más daño que bien, además de que los políticos antiinmigrantes lo han estado usando como arma.
A sweet deal? Massachusetts moves to tax candy

Jan 31, 2025 | ourcommunitynow.com | Marcela García

Share I hadn’t either — until Massachusetts governor Maura Healey unveiled her $62 billion budget proposal last week, which includes an initiative to strip candy from its sales tax exemption. Right now, candy is considered food for human consumption and from the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax — same as bananas or flour or eggs. Healey wants to get rid of that exemption, which would generate about $25 million.
How Chinese cars are driving change in Mexico

Jan 10, 2025 | ourcommunitynow.com | Marcela García

Share in the United States — yet. But cheap, reliable Chinese cars are already delivering a major disruption to the world’s auto industry and clouding the future for American brands. China’s aggressive push into Mexico’s auto market with its budget-friendly cars is quite a phenomenon, one that highlights its rise as the world’s top car exporter .

My latest vet bill? A staggering $1,250. Last week, I took my 11-year-old dog to a specialist for a follow-up consultation at a local clinic that’s part of a network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across the United States. The vet ordered several lab tests, including a routine profile to check various chemicals and enzymes, a complete blood count, and a digestive panel. It all made sense, considering my senior dog’s irritable bowel disease diagnosis a couple of years ago.

The mass deportations no one is talking about - The Boston Globe

Oct 18, 2024 | bostonglobe.com | Marcela García

Something very disturbing is unfolding in the Caribbean. On Oct. 2, Luis Abinader, the president of the Dominican Republic, announced a plan to deport up to 10,000 Haitian people per week, the largest deportations in the country’s recent history. The drastic move, to my shock, barely generated mainstream news headlines in America. It has yet to cause widespread international outrage or condemnation.
