Declaración del Senador Carpenter sobre su desitución del Comité
Los Republicanos temen el debate abierto

(MADISON)— El senador Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) hico la siguiente declaración sobre las acciones de los republicanos de terminar el debate y removerlo del Comité del Senado sobre Licencias, Reforma Regulatoria, Asuntos Estatales y Federales:

“Mi voz en el Comité Senatorial de Licencias, Reforma Regulatoria, Asuntos Estatales y Federales ha sido silenciada por hablar en contra de las políticas que contradicen las enseñanzas de Jesús y en contra de las acciones injustas de los republicanos en el Senado estatal.

“El desacuerdo en el comité era en parte por el presidente golpeo el ma****lo intentando de prevenirme de decir que el mensaje de Jesús es sanar a los enfermos y el proyecto de ley ve en contra ese principio cristiano. Me acusaron erróneamente de yo insulte al carácter de los autores cuando me refería a la política que tenemos ante nosotros, lo que se puede ver el récord. No debería haber sido castigado por debatir la moralidad del proyecto de ley.

“Golpeado el ma****lo otra vez cuando atreví de hablar sobre unos de los capítulos más tristes en la historia de los Estados Unidos cuando más de mil millones de personas de decendencias mexicanos fueron deportados, incluyendo miles de ciudadanos estadounidenses. Yo tengo derechos y responsabilidad de plantear preocupaciones legítimas sobre legislación que culpa personas en Wisconsin.

“Durante los últimos 14 años, cuando los republicanos han tenido completamente control de la legislatura de Wisconsin por el resultado de su manipulación de distritos, he visto violadas de tradiciones y valores de nuestra legislatura para silenciar a los demócratas en minoría. Nos han prohibió de proponer enmiendas a legislación importante, eliminado de negociaciones, yo y otros fuimos silenciados durante juntas del senado estatal y nos critican en el comité sobre la afirmación incorrecta que hice un comentario sobre el carácter de mis colegas.

“Si los republicanos van a usar su poder en la mayoría para prohibir el debate abierto o ignorar las necesidades de la gente de Wisconsin, entonces ellos van a perder la mayoría.

“Como alguien que fue criado en la fe católica, mi educación me enseñó a reconocer la diferencia entre el bien y el mal, y cuando las acciones van a contra de las enseñanzas de Jesús. No me van a silenciar cuando estamos escuchando proyectos de ley en comités que contradigan las enseñanzas fundamentales de cristianos. Deberíamos tomar acción para asegurarnos que en Wisconsin estamos sanemos a los enfermos. El proyecto de ley que estamos debutando iba prohibir nuestro estado de seguir esa enseñanza.

“Yo represento la más grande populación de Latinos de todos los distritos senatorial de Wisconsin. Es mi responsabilidad de representar y defender sus intereses, especialmente cuando muchos han tenido su mundo destrozado por el caos creado por el presidente Trump. Muchos de mis vecinos han vivido con miedo por los últimos 8 meses mientras sus derechos constitucionales han sido atacados.

“En octubre de 2019, me uní con Caridades Católicas de Milwaukee en su visita a la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México en El Paso para ver las condiciones y el sufrimiento de los detenidos bajo la primera administración de Trump. Me enfoque a aprender los problemas afectado a los inmigrantes de nuestro estado y la historia de la inmigración en nuestro estado y país. Cuando estábamos debatiendo los proyectos de ley sobre problemas de inmigración, esos temas son importante, como la operación bajo el presidente Eisenhower que lleva el nombre de un insulto ra***ta durante el cual miles de ciudadanos estadounidenses fueron deportados a México.

“Muchos de mis constituyentes me han dicho que ellos sienten que nuestros vecinos inmigrantes han sido mal tratados. En lugar de enfocarse en deportar a los criminales más violentos, el presidente Trump ha tomado miembros valiosos de nuestra comunidad, separando familias y poniendo en peligro la economía de nuestro estado. Mis electores esperan que defienda a nuestros vecinos que están siendo atacados".

Sen. Carpenter statement on removal from committee assignment
Republicans are afraid of open debate

(MADISON)—Senator Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) issued the following statement regarding Republican actions to shut down debate and remove him from the Senate Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs:

“My voice on the Senate Committee of Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs has been silenced for speaking out against policies which contradict the teachings of Jesus, and against unjust actions of Republicans in the State Senate.

“The disagreement in committee was due to the chairman gaveling me down and trying to prevent me from rightly pointing out that the message of Jesus is to heal the sick and that the bill goes against that Christian principle. I was wrongly accused of insulting the authors’ character when I was referring to the policy before us, which can be seen in the record. I should not have been gaveled down for debating the morality of the bill.

“I was gaveled down again when I dared to speak about one of the saddest chapters in American history when over one million people of Mexican descent were deported, including thousands of U.S. Citizens. I have a right and responsibility to raise legitimate concerns about legislation that scapegoats people across Wisconsin.

“Over the last 14 years, while Republicans have held complete power of the Wisconsin Legislature as a result of their gerrymandering, I have seen the long-held traditions and values of our legislature violated to silence the Democrats in the minority. We have been prohibited from proposing amendments to major legislation, cut out of negotiations, I and others have been silenced during a meeting of the State Senate, and gaveled down in committee on the incorrect claim that I made a comment about my colleagues’ character.

“If the Republican Party is going to use their power in the majority to prohibit open debate and ignore the needs of the people of Wisconsin, then they will lose the majority.

“As someone raised in the Catholic faith, my upbringing taught me to recognize the difference between right and wrong, and when actions go against the teachings of Jesus. I will not remain silent when we hear bills in committee that contradict fundamental Christian teachings. We should be taking action to make sure that in Wisconsin we heal the sick. The bill we were debating would prohibit our state from following that teaching.

“I represent the largest Latino population of any Wisconsin senate district. It is my responsibility to stand up for their interests, especially when many have had their world torn apart by the chaos created by President Trump. Many of my neighbors have lived in fear for the last 8 months while their constitutional rights have been assaulted.

“In October of 2019, I joined the Catholic Charities of Milwaukee on their visit to the U.S. Mexico border at El Paso to see the conditions and suffering of detainees under the first Trump Administration. I have focused on learning about the issues impacting our state’s immigrants, and the history of immigration issues in our state and country. When we are debating bills about immigration issues those topics are relevant, like the operation under President Eisenhower named after a racist slur during which thousands of American citizens were deported to Mexico.

“Many constituents have told me they feel that our immigrant neighbors are being mistreated. Instead of focusing on deporting the most violent criminals, President Trump has taken valuable members from our community, tearing families apart and endangering our state’s economy. My constituents expect me to stand up for our neighbors who are being attacked.
