The document discusses the Hispanic/Latino population in South Omaha and their cultural heritage, origins, and definitions. It notes that roughly one-fourth of US kindergarteners are Hispanic, and minorities will become the majority of children by 2023. The terms Hispanic and Latino refer to people with ancestry from Spanish-speaking countries but there is no single definition and identity varies between individuals.
ABSTRACT : The United States is considered a nation built by immigrants. This has had multiple influences on its cultural and linguistic shaping. Various groups and communities have contributed their languages, cultures, and beliefs. Societal norms, legislations, educational systems and reforms have been enacted that ultimately shaped the current educational system. Historically, this process has not always been fair to minority groups, resulting in prejudistic views and legislation against certain groups. The historical view presented in this article examines cultural and linguistic diversity in the U.S., common perceptions of immigrants, history of assessments and policies affecting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, legislation affecting CLD populations, and how they influenced the educational system.
Migration Policy Institute Report: Profile of Haitian Diaspora in the United ...Stanleylucas
Approximately 915,000 Haitian immigrants and their children (the first and second genera- tions) live in the United States, and Haiti-born individuals account for 1.5 percent of the total U.S. foreign-born population. The U.S. government has gone to extraordinary lengths to block illegal immigration from Haiti, but Haitians have benefited from several special programs that have permitted entry or temporary residence, as well as the normal chan- nel of family sponsorship. The size of the Haiti-born population in the United States has grown rapidly in recent decades; in 1980, about 90,000 Haitian immigrants resided in
the United States. The majority of the Haitian immigrant population arrived in the United States before 2000, as is true for the U.S. immigrant population overall. Haitian immigrants in the United States have a median age of 45, the third-oldest immigrant population of the 15 groups in the Rockefeller-Aspen Diaspora Program (RAD) analysis (after the Philippines and Colombia).1
As a result of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the U.S. government offered Temporary Pro- tected Status (TPS) to approximately 58,000 qualifying Haitian immigrants who could otherwise face deportation from the United States. TPS beneficiaries are given a tempo- rary reprieve from deportation and granted work authorization until their TPS designa- tion expires (July 22, 2014, in the case of Haiti) or is extended. The Cuban-Haitian Entrant Program provides refugee resettlement services, such as assistance obtaining employment, housing, and basic necessities, to eligible groups of Haitian immigrants.
Relative to the U.S. population as a whole, the Haitian diaspora has lower incomes, employ- ment rates, and is less educated, but there have been gains between generations. Haitian diaspora households reported a median annual income of $37,000, or $13,000 below the median for all U.S. households and among the lowest of the 15 groups in the RAD analysis. However, the Haitian second generation has a higher median household income than the first. Members of the Haitian diaspora participate in the labor force at the same rate as the general U.S. population yet had the lowest employment rate of the 15 groups in the RAD analysis, and are among the least likely to be employed in managerial or professional....
Dark Side of a Global Community: Girl Trafficking in the Southeast of Mexicoinventionjournals
Each day, hundreds of girls and women become victims of girl trafficking. International organized crime groups recruit them in forms of sexual exploitation. The trafficking process begins with the demand for girls to be used in prostitution. Sex trafficking has become a significant problem in global communities like Tabasco, a state in the southeast of Mexico. The state of Tabasco is a source, destination and transit place for girl trafficking as commercial sexual exploitation. In this place, there is trafficking within the state and a large number trafficked come from a region known as the Northern Triangle. The method performed to approach these qualitative investigation entailed classical approaches involving newspaper sources, as well as direct, and Geographic analysis. Findings show that girl trafficking has been intensified in the poorest municipalities of Tabasco. It was also realized that girl trafficking as sexual exploitation is practiced within the Southeast of Mexico. Tabasco is exposed as a recruitment site for traffickers. Proactive and police measures are necessary for containing the phenomenon
As immigration lawyer Carlos Batara notes in this roundup of top ten news stories, June is Immigrant Heritage Month. Supposedly, this means June represents a month dedicated to celebrating the many accomplishments and achievements of immigrants in shaping United States history and culture.
Unfortunately, honoring the contributions of immigrants is more ideal than reality.
The longer Congress fails to address immigration reform, the longer the American public will remain trapped in a no-win battle between those who support and those who oppose legalization for immigrants.
On the one hand, there’s the approach taken in Louisiana. Lawmakers in that state approved a law which will bar U.S. citizen and lawful permanent resident spouses from immigrating their immigrant husbands or wives. Under this legislation, marriage is not seen as a fundamental right; rather, it is deemed a privilege which can granted or denied.
On the other, consider California. A statewide signature campaign began in an effort to kick-start an initiative that would grant undocumented immigrants with state residency rights, regardless of federal laws.
Both laws are likely to end up tied in court months, if not years.
Like President Obama’s recent executive action, Deferred Action for Parental Accountability, also known as DAPA.
In June, a federal lawsuit blocked the implementation of his plan to grant parents of U.S. and lawful permanent resident children, though lacking immigration papers of their own, the right to work temporarily in the U.S. if they meet other requirements for up to three years. Attempts to deport them, if their only offense was that of unlawful entry or overstaying their authorized period for visiting, would be suspended for the same three-year time period.
Not a fix, by any stretch of the imagination. But it was a start in the direction of reform. Alas, the legal future of the president’s actions is uncertain. Just as the Louisiana bill and the California initiative will end up if either is enacted as law.
So what’s a poor immigration reformer to do? How about create political posters to express one’s opinions and try to sway public sentiment. Well, June saw this effort as well. In Los Angeles, the Study of Political Graphics organized a show featuring 75 posters addressing immigration issues in the hopes of sparking greater public interest in such matters.
On the public relations front, American did demonstrate its leadership by taking a couple of major actions involving other countries. Early in the month, the U.S. pledged to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba. The cold war of over 50 years between the two nations was near its end. During the latter half, the United States extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Nepal, a country devastated by a recent earthquake leaving 2.8 million people in need of emergency assistance.
It was a fitting end to a dynamic month of immigration news.
The White Paper titled “Diversity and Inclusion in Early Care and Education”, released during the NAEYC Conference held in Dallas, Texas examines how changing demographics calls for a greater tolerance and understanding of varying cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Fall 2018
Latinos/Hispanics in the U.S.
By the numbers:
Approximately 56.6 Million as of July 1, 2015. (about 18% of the U.S. population & constantly
growing.) (U.S. Census Bureau)
65% are of Mexican background, 9% Puerto Rican, 3.5% Cuban. The rest are grouped as ‘other’
including the Caribbean people, South Americans, and Central Americans (Pew Research Center).
Of the 15+ million of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. approximately 10 million are Hispanic
immigrants of which 7 million are of Mexican nationality (Pew Research Center).
More than half of the Latino/Hispanic American population resides in these three states: California,
Texas, and Florida.
“California had the largest Hispanic population of any state (15.2 million) in 2015. Texas had the largest
numeric increase within the Hispanic population since July 1, 2014. New Mexico had the highest
percentage of Hispanics at 48.0 percent” (U.S. Census Bureau).
Stewart County in southwest Georgia experienced the most growth in the Hispanic population since
2000, growing 1,754% over 13 years (Pew Research Center).
Latino vs. Hispanics
Latino vs. Hispanic: The Terminology Conflict
What is “Latino?” A Latino is someone from Latin America.
What is “Hispanic?” A Hispanic is an “Hispano parlante” which translates into a Spanish-speaking
individual.
Why both terms? Both terms are used interchangeably in order to try to include as many Latin Ethnic
groups as possible.
Which one is used over the other depends on different parts of the country. Usually, Latino is
predominantly used as a term in the East Coast and Hispanic is used in the West Coast, even though
either term is being applied interchangeably nowadays.
Why does the government prefers “Latino” over “Hispanic?” It simply correlates to the federal
government being on the East Coast and using the term “Latino.”

“Pan-Latinoness:” Myth or Reality?
The Pan-Latino approach is an example of a panethnicity factor in U.S. society.
As Schaefer (2002) explains, panethnicity “refers to the development of solidarity among ethnic
subgroups.
Non-Hispanics often give single label to the diverse group of native-born Latino Americans and
immigrants.
This labeling by the out-group is similar to the dominant group’s wa.

The percentage of immigrants in the U.S. popula�on was highest at the beginning of
the 20th century, and it saw a decline from 1920 to 1970. In the past 30 years, we
have seen a doubling of the percentage of the popula�on of immigrants in the
United States.
The number of immigrants in the United States increased by almost 10 million
between 2000 and 2011.
Introduction
Bianca, a 3-year-old Spanish and English bilingual preschooler who recently emigrated from the Dominican Republic, has joined Ms. Tonia's classroom
this week. Bianca's parents have described her as shy, and they explain that she misses her abuela (grandmother) dearly. Bianca and her abuela had a
strong rela�onship, and this is the first �me she has ever been away from her for an extended period of �me. Ms. Tonia overhears Laura, another
student, asking Bianca, "Why do you sound like that? Why are you wearing a sweater when it is warm inside? Why do you like to eat fried bananas?"
Bianca looks like she is about to cry. Ms. Tonia knows that Laura is showing natural curiosity and that she is interested in befriending Bianca. How can
Ms. Tonia help Bianca and Laura develop a friendship?
In this chapter, we will focus on immigrant families and children and the role that early care and educa�on programs and teachers can play in ensuring
that their challenges, strengths, and experiences are considered in the classroom and across instruc�onal prac�ces. Key instruc�on prac�ces and
strategies that enhance immigrant children's learning and development and promote home-school partnerships will also be discussed.

Our na�on is becoming more diverse, and recent trends in immigra�on are the most important driver of U.S. diversity. As shown in Figure 4.1, the

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

4. The term “Hispanic” as it refers to an ethnic group was created on May 4, 1978, when the U.S. Office of Management and Budget published the following regulation in the Federal Register : "Directive 15: Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting" that defined a Hispanic to be "a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race" (p. 19269). This definition (refined, with minor adjustments, in 1997) largely focuses on the countries of origin (which may be generations in the past) and assumes that peoples in these countries share a common "Spanish culture" that is also shared by some people living in the United States.

Many choose their own terminology based upon their personal feelings to their mestizaje or mixed blood that is not solely European (Spanish or Portuguese) but also their Indigenous background that dates prior to the European conquest.

21. General Trends & Issues • Demographics – The Hispanic population is the nation's largest minority group – http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=96 – The largest Hispanic subgroup in the United States is of Mexican origin, comprising about two-thirds (66 percent) of the Hispanic population. – By 2020, the Hispanic population is expected to account for about half the growth of the U.S. labor force. • 117 million people will be added to the population during this period due to the effect of new immigration, 67 million will be the immigrants themselves and 50 million will be their U.S.-born children or grandchildren. • Latino population growth in the new century has been more a product of the natural increase (births minus deaths) of the existing population than it has been of new international migration. • http://pewhispanic.org/files/factsheets/hispanics2007/Table%201.pdf • Illegal Immigration – There were 11.9 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in March 2008, indicates that unauthorized immigrants make up 4% of the U.S. population.
22. General Trends & Issues • Crime – In 2007, Latinos accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders-more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population. Among sentenced immigration offenders, most were convicted of unlawfully entering or remaining in the U.S. Fully 75% of Latino offenders sentenced for immigration crimes in 2007 were convicted of entering the U.S. unlawfully or residing in the country without authorization. • English Speaking Ability – http://pewhispanic.org/files/factsheets/hispanics2007/Table%2019.pdf • Birth Rate – Latino immigrants have birth rates twice as high as those of the rest of the U.S. population, foretelling a sharp increase ahead in the percentage of Latinos who will be in schools and the work place. – Hispanic women have a higher fertility rate than non-Hispanic women: 84 births per 1,000 women in the year preceding the date of the survey, compared with 63 births per 1,000 Non-Hispanic women.
23. General Trends & Issues • Poverty & Unemployment – Hispanic Families are twice as likely as non-Hispanic Families to live in poverty; 20% of Hispanic individuals are poor compared with 11% of non-Hispanic . – Hispanic individuals comprise about 21 percent of those living in poverty in the United States. As for Hispanic children specifically, 28 percent were living in poverty. – http://pewhispanic.org/files/other/middecade/Table-30.pdf
24. General Trends & Issues • Hispanic Population in Omaha – People of Hispanic origin make up 7.4% of Greater Omaha’s 2007 population. Approximately 61,223 Hispanic individuals are currently living in the Metro area. – It is projected that by 2012 the Hispanic population in Omaha will increase to 75,615, comprising 8.7% of the population. – Http://pewhispanic.org/states/?stateid=NE
25. Hispanic children represent a large proportion of school-aged immigrant children. Specifically, Hispanic immigrant children account for more than half (58%) of all immigrant youth in the U.S. (Kohler and Lazarín 2007). There has been significant growth in the number of Spanish-speaking Head Start participants. While in 1993 17.5% of Head Start children were Spanish-speakers, by 2004 the proportion had grown to more than 23% (Kohler and Lazarín 2007). Special Education: Hispanics are about as likely as Whites to receive special education services, but more likely than Asians/Pacific Islanders and less likely than Blacks and American Indians/Alaska Natives to do so (NCES 2003). Latino and Black students are more likely to attend schools that serve a large concentration of low-income students. “Among 4 th graders, 49% of Hispanic and 48% of Black students are enrolled in schools with the highest measure of poverty, compared to 5% of White and 16% of Asian/Pacific Islander 4th-grade students” (Kohler and Lazarín 2007).

28. AREAS OF CONCERN FOR SCHOOLS Absenteeism: Hispanic 8th- and 12th-graders have higher absenteeism rates than Whites. “School absenteeism can be a concern because it decreases the amount of learning opportunities children have at school. In 2000, 26 percent of Hispanic students in the 8th grade and 34 percent of Hispanic students in the 12th grade reported that they had been absent 3 or more days in the preceding month” (NCES 2003). Grade retention, suspension, and expulsion: Hispanic students have retention and suspension/expulsion rates that are higher than those of Whites, but lower than those of Blacks (NCES 2003). “ In 2004, for example, 11% of Hispanic youth who had dropped out of high school had been retained in a grade at some point in their school career, compared to 4.3% of Hispanic youth who completed high school.” (Kohler and Lazarín 2007). Dropout rates: Hispanic students have higher high school dropout rates than White or Black students. “ The average status dropout rate for Hispanics is partly attributable to the markedly higher dropout rates among Hispanic immigrants; more than one-half of Hispanic immigrants never enrolled in a U.S. school, but are included as high school dropouts if they did not complete high school in their country of origin” (NCES 2003). “ High school dropout rates are particularly high for 16- to 24-year-old foreign-born Latinos. Foreign-born Hispanic dropouts account for 25.3% of all dropouts in the United States” (Kohler and Lazarín 2007).
