I’m a former Workers’ Compensation consultant with some 20+ years in that industry. I live and work in Los Angeles, California. My 20+ years working in the Work Comp industry involved working heavily with the undocumented immigrant population and the employers who hire knowingly and unknowingly hire them. Aside from providing injured workers with assistance in securing medical and vocational benefits once they sustained work related injuries. I also conducted on-site job analysis and job descriptions so doctors could better understand the work such workers performed and render an opinion on whether such workers could return to the pre-injury occupation. I performed hundreds of job analysis and visited hundreds of job sites and learned a lot about work safety and some of the main causes for work related injuries.
More about me. First off. I’m passionate about protecting immigrant rights and work closely with many community based organizations on this front.
Presently I work do quite a bit of consulting on the following fronts:
Website, Blog and Social Media Interaction for Immigrant groups and non-profits, if you fit that profile and need a consultant you can hire me here.
I also donate my time and services as the Director for Community Engagement at Fundacion Jalisco USA a non-profit organization comprised of 35 Hometown Associations (HTAs) from representing communities in the Mexican State of Jalisco.
What’s an HTA? An HTA is an immigrant networked organization formed specifically to engage in small philanthropic projects that benefit the immigrant communities in the US and Mexico. HTAs raise thousands of dollars to support small local development projects both in the US and Mexico, projects include food banks, and free blankets to marginalized communities and educational learning centers, as well as senior citizen centers.

Even more about me:
I’m an internet junkie and constantly searching for ways to narrow the “digital divide” that impacts immigrant communities. I’m big into OpenCourseWare, Wikipedia, just about OpenSource anything….and oh, yeah Resilient Communities.
I like Social Media networks and occupy lots of time on them, much to the chagrin of my family.
You are the scum of the earth, who are you really associated with? LaRaza, Mecha? You will not win, ever, your so called Dream Act is a sham and a burden to the American citizen, the Patriots of this great country. You Mexicans own nothing in this country, did you already forget the Mexican American war? This land was fought for and paid for by Americans, we destroyed you once and we may need to do it again. The illegals are a cancer on the American taxpayer to the tune of nearly $300,000,000 a year, yes, million. The illegal does not want to assimilate into this country, they are not about laws, they are about themselves only. My family immigrated to this country from Germany in the 50's and it took them 12 years to get their citizenship, they waited in line and had to go through the legal process, and it was the happiest day of their lives to get their US citizenship. The Mexican illegal is lazy and does not want to wait and go through the legal process like those before them, they want everything now, it's not going to happen, the true American citizens will eventually rise and remember that the Americans have always been slow to anger but when we have had enough the shit will hit the fan.
