Condenado a 80 años de prisión el exdictador de Guatemala Ríos Montt | Internacional | EL PAÍS
Un tribunal penal de Guatemala ha condenado este viernes al exdictador José Efraín Ríos Montt a 50 años de cárcel por genocidio y a otros 30 por crímenes de guerra perpetrados por el Ejército en contra del grupo étnico ixil entre 1982 y 1983. El exjefe de Inteligencia Militar José Rodríguez Sánchez fue sin embargo absuelto de los mismos delitos al considerar el tribunal que "no tuvo injerencia" en las operaciones militares contra los indígenas. Ríos Montt, de 86 años, ha sido trasladado a prisión preventiva.

Estudio respalda opción de residencia y ciudadanía para indocumentados
Un estudio de la Universidad del Sur de California indica que 1 de cada 10 habitantes del Condado de Los Ángeles entró ilegalmente al país.
Dar la opción de residencia legal y un camino a la ciudadanía a los inmigrantes indocumentados aportaría un beneficio económico importante a California y a Estados Unidos en general.
Los autores estiman que el ingreso anual agregado de los actualmente indocumentados aumentaría entre 4,600 y 7,900 millones de dólares si se legaliza su residencia. Esto aumento en el ingreso personal derivaría en un mayor consumo que beneficiaría la economía.

NLCI | Bring Rodrigo Home – Kids For Kids! -
Rodrigo Guzman was a happy fourth grade kid at Jefferson Elementary School in Berkeley, California. He loved playing baseball, video games, and eating pizzas just like any other 9 year old. He was a funny kid who cheered up his friends whenever they were sad and always insisted that games played during recess should be fair and equal. He also was one of the smartest kids in his class.
However, on January 10, 2013 Rodrigo’s nightmare began. He was returning home with his parents from a family visit in Mexico and stopped off in Houston, Texas. Their family was detained while his father was questioned by the Immigration Control Enforcement (ICE). They held the family for more than 20 hours and told them that they had expired visas. Therefore they were refusing them entry back to Berkeley. They also could not reapply for another visa for five years. They were not made aware of their options, not allowed to take care of storing their possessions nor say goodbye to their family and friends in Berkeley.
That's when his classmate, Kyle Kuwahara came home upset over the fact that his friend Rodrigo wasn't coming back to school. Kyle thought this was unfair and he told his mom and his twin brother, Scott that he wanted to do something to help Rodrigo come home. His classmates were studying Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rosa Parks at school and how they fought injustice. He told his mom the next day that his classmates wanted to go on a hunger strike or have a rally to bring Rodrigo home.

Song lyrics:
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surffing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountain floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
