CHICAGO TONIGHT: LATINO VOICES  IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY  ALLSTATE AND THE SEARLE FUNDS  AT THE CHICAGO COMMUNITY TRUST.
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO  CHICAGO TONIGHT: LATINO VOICES.
I AM MARISSA  PARRETT A REPORTER  WITH CBS 2 CHICAGO.THANK YOU  FOR SPENDING YOUR WEEKEND WITH  US.
ON THE SHOW TONIGHT PRESIDENT  JOE BIDEN MADE PROMISES ON  IMMIGRATION POLICY WHEN HE WAS  ELECTED BUT HAS HE DELIVERED ON  THEM IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF  OFFICE?
THE BALLET FOLKLORICO DE MEXICO  DE AMALIA HERNANDEZ IS BRINGING  ITS GREATEST HITS BACK TO  CHICAGO NEXT WEEK AND WE HAVE A  SNEAK PEAK.
>>> AFRICAN RHYTHMS ARE AN  INDELIBLE PART OF LATIN MUSIC.
WE GET SOME RECOMMENDATIONS  FROM AFRO LATINO ARTISTS.
>> THE SPICY HAS LEMON AND SALT  WHICH MEANS IT'S PURPOSEFUL FOR  A HANGOVER.
>> A LOCAL HUSBAND AND WIFE  TEAM ARE LOOKING TO BRING THEIR  VERSION OF THE CLASSIC MEXICAN  COCKTAIL TO YOUR REFRIGERATOR.
>>> FIRST OFF TONIGHT ILLINOIS  OFFICIALS WELCOMED 472 NEW  AMERICANS IN A NATURALIZATION  CEREMONY EARLIER THIS WEEK IN  CHICAGO.
IN HIS REMARKS THE GOVERNOR  HARKEN BACK TO HIS  GREAT-GRANDFATHERS IMMIGRATION  TO AMERICA AND REFLECTED ON THE  CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BRING  IMMIGRANTS FROM AROUND THE  WORLD TO THE UNITED STATES.
LAST YEAR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN  RECALLED THE JOURNEY OF HIS  ANCESTORS TO THIS COUNTRY AS HE  WELCOMES NEW CITIZENS AT THE  WHITE HOUSE.
AT HIS SPEECH PRESIDENT BIDEN  CHECKED OFF SOME OF THE WAYS HE  PLAN TO EVOLVE IMMIGRATION  POLICY INCLUDING BORDER  MANAGEMENT, SECURING PATHWAYS  TO CITIZENSHIP FOR UNDOCUMENTED  IMMIGRANTS INCLUDING DREAMERS,  FARMWORKERS AND THOSE ON A  TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS.
IN HELPING TO STABILIZE  CONDITIONS THAT HELP PEOPLE  FLEE FROM THE US TO CENTRAL  AMERICAN COUNTRIES.
JOINING US NOW ARE RUBEN LOYO,  NATIONAL IMMIGRANT JUSTICE  CENTER, JAIME DOMINGUEZ A  SCIENTIST AT NORTHWESTERN  UNIVERSITY AND DULCE ORTIZ  TRACTOR OF MANO A MANO FAMILY  RESOURCE CENTER.
DULCE ORTIZ LET'S START WITH  YOU HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE THE  BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S CAMPAIGN  AND INAUGURATION RHETORIC AND  HIS PERFORMANCE SO FAR WITH  IMMIGRATION POLICY?
>> I WOULD SAY OVERALL IF I  HAVE TO GRADE IT I WOULD GIVE  IT AN F. AND F TO DELIVER ON HIS  PROMISES.
HE CAMPAIGNED ON MAKING  IMMIGRATION A PRIORITY AND THE  FIRST 100 DAYS OF HIS  ADMINISTRATION AND HERE WE ARE  A YEAR LATER AND STILL NOTHING.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THIS WAS AN ISSUE HE CAMPAIGNED  ON AND SO FAR HAS BEEN UNABLE  TO DELIVER AS FAR AS LOSING THE  MOM WAGE INCREASE AND VOTING  RIGHTS THAT DOESN'T HELP  EITHER.
>> REALLY STRONG WORDS THERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK.
BIDEN STARTED OUT BY REVERSING  SEVERAL TRUMP ERA POLICIES.
DID THAT SET OF EXPECTATIONS  FOR FUTURE ACTION?
>> SURE DID.
IT CREATED A MOMENTUM OF THINGS  THAT THE VERB OR WAS THERE FOR  HIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO  ADMINISTER RATION REFORM.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO COVER.IT  COVERED A FEW OF THEIR LAST  IMMIGRATION SPREAD HAVEN'T BEEN  ABLE TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON  COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION  REFORM AND REQUIRES CONFIT  DELAY CONGRESS TO PUT TEETH IN  THAT LEGISLATION COULD THE  PRESIDENT IS LIMITED GOOD BIDEN  HAS BEEN LIMITED IN THAT FOR  EXAMPLE WHEN HE CAME IN HE  SOUGHT TO, THROUGH EXECUTIVE  ORDER HE HALTED THE  CONSTRUCTION OF THE BORDER AT  THE SOUTHERN REGION AND AGAIN  IT IS GOING TO TAKE CONGRESS TO  STOP THAT IMMIGRATION REFORM.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF A LOT OF  EFFORT IS JUST THE STRUCTURAL  BARRIERS THAT ARE PREVENTING  BIDEN FROM GOING FORWARD.I  THINK HE'S MOVING THE NEEDLE  FOR EXAMPLE.
HE'S DEFINITELY CREATED  RESTRICTIONS ON ILLEGAL  IMMIGRATION AND HE PUT A LOT ON  GREEN CARDS BEING READILY  AVAILABLE ALSO THEY TALKED  ABOUT INCREASING THE DIVERSITY  VISA PROGRAM WHICH PRESIDENT  TRUMP TRIED TO ALUMINATE.I  THINK HE HAS THE VISION TO MOVE  PROGRESSIVELY ON THIS BUT IT'S  DIFFICULT TO DO IT ON HIS OWN.
>> RUBEN, TO YOU, YOUR  ORGANIZATION IS PART OF A  CAMPAIGN REQUESTING ICE  ADMINISTRATIONS TO RELEASE  PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE  PRESIDENTS ACTIONS ON  IMMIGRATION POLICY?>> WHAT WE  HAVE SEEN IN THE IMMIGRATION  DETENTION IS ONE OF THE MOST  DIFFICULT EXAMPLES OF SOME OF  THE BROKEN COMMITMENTS THAT WE  HAVE SEEN UNDER THIS  ADMINISTRATION.
AS YOU KNOW IN LIGHT OF THIS  LEGISLATION IN ILLINOIS THE  COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ASKING THEM  TO RELEASE INDIVIDUALS AND TO  GET AN OPPORTUNITY FOR  ADMINISTRATION AND ICE TO  CONSIDER ITS USE OF DETENTION.
ALTHOUGH WE'VE SEEN SOME PEOPLE  BEING RELEASED AS WE SPEAK  WE'VE ALSO BEEN LEARNING OF  CLIENTS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS  WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO  DETENTION FACILITIES AS FAR  AWAY AS OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS AND  USING THE CRANE IN THE MIDST OF  AN ONGOING PANDEMIC.
WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE AT THE  LOCAL LEVEL AND WAS SEEN AT THE  NATIONAL LEVEL IS DEFINITELY  WHAT THEY ADMINISTER RATION CAN  DO WITH THESE MEASURES AND  POLICIES.
>> WHAT IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON  THE MOST URGENT IMMIGRATION  POLICY THAT THE BIDEN MISS  RATION COULD ADDRESS?
>> FOR ME THIS IS DEEPLY  PERSONAL.
THERE'S HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR A  WIN ON IMMIGRATION.
IF SOMEONE HAS LOVED ONES  LIVING IN THE SHADOWS BECAUSE  THEY ARE UNDOCUMENTED, HE CAN  CERTAINLY HELP RELIEF THROUGH  REGULAR ORDER AND CUT IT WITH A  SOLUTION AND HE HASN'T UNABLE  TO DO THAT.
IT'S A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT BUT  WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE ARE  11 UNDOCUMENTED AREAS FOR THIS  COUNTRY.
THE DEMONSTRATED BEFORE HIM  FEEL THE COMMUNITY NOT PASSING  A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED  THE MARK.
IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT HE  AND CONGRESS GET IT TOGETHER.
POINTING FINGERS AND BEING MORE  SPECIFIC WITH THE SENATE BUT  THE SIN ISSUE IS LEADERSHIP AND  HE HAS TO GET HIS PARTY  TOGETHER AND PROVIDE  IMMIGRATION RELIEF BYPASSING  THE PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP SO  THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR LOVED ONES  COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND BE  ABLE TO ENJOY LIFE AND NOT BE  TRAUMATIZED BY CONTINUING TO BE  UNDOCUMENTED.
>> WE KNOW THAT ILLINOIS IS A  BLUE STATE.
WE KNOW THAT THE POLITICAL WILL  EXIST ACROSS THE REST OF THE  COUNTRY TO PUSH BIDEN FURTHER  WEST ON IMMIGRATION POLICY  ESPECIALLY AS MIDTERM ELECTIONS  GET CLOSER?
>> I THINK THAT IS THE  CHALLENGE BECAUSE THE MIDTERM  ELECTIONS THE OFFICIALS ARE  WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT  THEY WILL REMAIN IN OFFICE.
FOR THEM IT COULD BE FOR A LOCK  OF THE BETTER WORD THE  CHALLENGES WITH THE  CONSTITUENCIES WITH EITHER  LENDING SUPPORT TO GET A SISSY  AND THEN THEY WILL DO THAT THEY  CAN DO AND THEY WILL MOVE IN  THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
I THINK THEIR SUPPORT WITHIN  THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS  INTERESTING PAIR THE  REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO TAKE  ONE OF THE TWO HOUSES IF NOT  BOTH GOOD I THINK IT WILL BE  VERY DIFFICULT ON THE  LEGISLATIVE FRONT WHICH IS  EVERYTHING WE ARE DISCUSSING  HERE TODAY IF ANY KIND OF  MEASURES GOING TO PASS.
GOING THROUGH THE PIECE BILL  EXECUTIVE ORDER IA GIVEN  ADMINISTRATION IS VERY  DIFFICULT TO HAVE A COHESIVE  PROGRAM AND POLICY THAT IS  GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE  11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED AND THE  STATUS OF DREAMERS, ETC.. >> AND WE HAVE JUST A FEW MORE  MINUTES.
IS A YEAR INTO BIDEN'S TERM  ENOUGH TIME TO JUDGE HIS  PERFORMANCE ISSUES?IS IT  ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE THAT  MEANINGFUL CHANGE THAT PEOPLE  ARE LOOKING FOR?
>> I THINK IT IS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF  OPPORTUNITIES HERE AND IT'S NOT  TOO LATE TO CHANGE THE COURSE.
FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE GROWING  COURT DOCUMENT AND THE COURT  SYSTEM IT'S AN ANONYMOUS  OPPORTUNITY TO RECONSIDER  COMPETING WITH SO MANY  DEPORTATION CASES AT THE  MOMENT.
>> WELL, OUR THANKS TO RUBEN  LOYO, JAIME DOMINGUEZ AND DULCE  ORTIZ.
EXTRA SPITTING TIME WITH US.
>> EAT A HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO  AND THE CLASSIC TAKE ON ANY  CLASSIC MEXICAN COCKTAIL.
NEARLY ONE IN FIVE US ADULTS  ABSTAIN FROM DRINKING  THROUGHOUT THE FIRST MONTH OF  THE YEAR A MOVEMENT YOU MIGHT  KNOW AS DRY JANUARY.
THIS ACCORDING TO AN ANALYSIS  DONE AND IF YOU ARE AMONG THOSE  SOBER FOLKS CONGRATULATIONS,  YOU MADE IT!
NOW IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TO A  TIPSY FEBRUARY A LOCAL BUSINESS  IS BRINGING ITS VERSION OF A  CLASSIC EXIT CAN STIPPLED TO A  STORE NEAR YOU.
OUR PRODUCER STOP BY AND  STARTED UP WITH THE TEAM BEHIND  THIS.
>> WE HAVE BEEN DRINKING WAY  BEFORE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN  DRINKING.
>> AS A RESTAURANT INDUSTRY  VETERAN THEY HAVE MIXED MORE  THAN THEIR SHARE OF BEER AND  EXCUSE COCKTAILS FROM BEHIND  THE BAR.
>> SPICY.
HAVE LEMON AND SALT AND  PURPOSEFUL KIND OF FOR A  HANGOVER.
>> NOW, GARCIA WANTS TO BRING  HIS BIG MIX TO YOUR FAMILY'S  REFRIGERATOR.
>> I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO  SELL TOMATO JUICE ON THE  STREET.
>> GARCIA SAID YEARS OF  RESTAURANT WORK WANTED HIM TO  MIX IT UP PROFESSIONALLY.
WITH HIS WIFE'S ENCOURAGEMENT  HE QUIT HIS JOB IN 2017 AND USE  HIS LAST PAYCHECK TO HAND LENS  THESE IN HIS BASEMENT.
>> I WENT TO COSTCO AND I  BOUGHT ALL THE ONES THEY HAD IN  COSCO AND WE INVESTED ALL $600  AND WE TRIED THE CONCEPT PAID  THE FIRST WEEKEND WE MADE  $1000.
ASK GARCIA SAID WORD SPREAD  QUICKLY AND THE INCREASING  DEMAND ALLOWED HIM TO LAUNCH  HIS COMPANY LATER THE SAME YEAR  LAUNCHING TWO LIQUOR STORES.
SO, IN 2018 HE ADDED A DASH OF  FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO EXPAND  HIS TEAM.
NOW HE IS BUILDING A DISTINCT  MEXICAN IDENTITY WITH THEIR  PRODUCT GROWING.
>> WANTED TO TAKE OUR LIFE AND  INTERESTS AND WE LIKE WHAT  OTHER BRANDS DO AND PUT IT TO  OUR BRAND WHICH IS ULTIMATELY A  LATINO MEXICAN BRAND.
>> FOR THIS YEAR WE WANT TO  HIGHLIGHT THE MOMENT THE FAMILY  SHARES OUR TRADITIONS, CULTURES  AND FAMILY GATHERINGS AND HOW  WE AS A BRAND LIVE WITHIN THOSE  MOMENT.
>> THEY SAY THE MAIN INGREDIENT  OF THAT IDENTITY IS FRESHNESS.
>> BEING LATINO WE KNOW WHAT  GREAT FOOD TASTE LIKE.
WE KNOW WHAT FRESH FOOD TASTE  LIKE.
>> WE TRY TO CHOP IT AND PURIE  IT ALL IN HOUSE WE CAN CONTROL  WHERE IT IS.
ALL OF THE PEPPERS ARE HYDRATED  AND LINDA LOCALLY HERE IN  HOUSE.
>> WE AREN'T AFRAID TO PAY A  LITTLE BIT MORE AS LONG AS IT  MEANS WE ARE GETTING THE  FRESHEST PRODUCT.
LIVE IN CHICAGO WHERE WE CAN  DRIVE DOWN TO LITTLE VILLAGE  AND FIND SOME QUALITY PRODUCTS  FROM MEXICO.
>> LAST YEAR HE MADE A BIG MOVE  THEY TOOK PRODUCTION FROM WHEAT  FROM THE BACK ROOM OF THIS  GROCERY STORE TO A FACILITY IN  WILLOWBROOK.
>> WITH THE GOAL OF BEING HERE  IN THE WAREHOUSE TO ALLOW THE  COMPANY TO KEEP GROWING.
>> WITH SPACE TO STRETCH OUT  THE HOPE TO COMPETE WITH THE  BIG BEVERAGE BRANDS WHILE STILL  TAKING CARE OF THE FAMILY OWNED  STORES THAT GAVE THEM THEIR  START.
>> MOM-AND-POP STORES REALLY  THINK ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE  SPACE FOR THEMSELVES.
THE MAKING SURE THEY HAVE  QUALITY PRODUCT ON THEIR AND  GIVING THEM THAT WHITE GLOVE  SERVICE.
>> GARCIA ANSELL LYCIE NO  MATTER HOW BIG HE GETS THEY  WILL ALWAYS BE IN IT.
>> PEOPLE ARE PROUD TO SAY I  JUST GOT THIS ONGOING SHARED ON  MY SNAPCHAT MA INSTAGRAM SO  PEOPLE KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT I  DRINK.
THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DO IT SO  WILLINGLY AND SHARE THE LOVE, I  AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
>> CHEERS.
>> SALUTE!
>> FOR CHICAGO TONIGHT, LATINO  VOICES THIS IS ERICA GUNDERSON.
>> EVEN IF YOU DON'T DRINK THEY  SAY THEIR PRODUCT CAN BE  ENJOYED AS NONALCOHOLICS ULCERS  AND BEERS.

HOW DID YOU TRANSLATE THESE  HISTORICAL DANCES INTO BALLETS  FOR THE STAGE?
>> YES.
WE HAD A FEW DANCES AND I CHOSE  THE PROGRAM WITH CHOREOGRAPHED  THAT MY MOTHER MADE AT  DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE COMPANY.
ONE OF THE FIRST CHOREOGRAPHERS  WAS ALL SONGS FROM MICHOACAN.
THE OTHER ONE IS IN HONOR AND  AFTER A FEW YEARS SHE ALSO HAD  ANYTHING IN EVERY CONVERSATION  IS FROM DIFFERENT STAGES OF HER  CHOREOGRAPHY.
WE KNOW THAT THE PERFORMANCE  WILL GO WITH A DIFFERENT KIND  OF CHALLENGE IT GOES UP AND  DOWNS AND THEIR SOLOS AND BIG  GROUPS.
SO, THE MUSIC IS THE MUSIC OF  THE REGION.
MY MOTHER ALWAYS LIKE TO GO TO  EACH REGION TO LEARN.
SHE DIDN'T LEARN STEPS IN A  ROOM, SHE ALWAYS MADE EACH PART  OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY THAT SHE  MAKES.
ALSO, THE SONNETS THAT WE DON'T  HAVE NOW ARE LIKE A SET THAT  SHE MADE WITH ANTHROPOLOGISTS  AND HISTORIC PERSONS THAT  HELPED HER TO MAKE THE WHOLE  CONVERSATION TO MAKE THE  MOVEMENT FROM COHESIVE IMAGES  TO ANOTHER SHE MADE THE  MOVEMENT.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT HOW BRIGHT  AND COLORFUL THESE COSTUMES  ARE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE  TRADITIONAL DRESS IS IT EASY TO  BRING THE RECOGNIZABLE COSTUMES  TO DANCE  PERFORMANCES?

>> WHEN WEST AFRICANS WERE  ENSLAVED AND WEST AMERICAN  COUNTRIES THEY BROUGHT THEIR  MUSIC WITH THEM.
COMBINED WITH INDIGENOUS AND  SPANISH TRADITIONS THE BEATS  GAVE RISE TO MUSIC FORMS THAT  STILL GET US ON THE DANCE FLOOR  TODAY.
AFRO LATINO MUSICIANS HAVE NOT  ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN THEIR DUE.
OUR MUSIC JOURNALIST BEGINS  THAT THE TIDE IS BEGINNING TO  TURN.
HERE SHE GIVES A FEW  RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AFRO LATINO  ARTISTS YOU MIGHT WANT TO ADD  TO YOUR NEXT PLAYLIST.
>> THE INFLUENCE OF AFRICAN  MUSIC, TRADITIONS AND CULTURE  CAN BE FOUND THROUGHOUT ALL OF  THE AMERICAS IN EVERY SINGLE  MUSIC THAT EXISTS ACROSS THE  WORLD.
THESE ARE AMONG SOME OF THE  ARTISTS THAT I THINK OF RIGHT  AWAY WHEN I THINK OF AFRO  LATINO MUSIC.
I THINK THESE ARTISTS  ESPECIALLY ARE EMBRACING THEIR  ROUTE, CULTURES AND TRADITIONS  AND COMBINING IT WITH MODERN  SOUND.
THEY EXPLORE AFRO CARIBBEAN  RHYTHMS AND TRADITIONS LIKE  SACRED DRUMMING COMBINED WITH  THE VOICE THEY CALL IT TROPICAL  FUTURISM.
THE AVENUE ALBUM THAT ADDRESSES  SYSTEMIC RACISM, CAPITALIST  DECADENCE AND THE ERASURE OF  TRANS AND QUEER FOLKS.
[MUSIC] [SINGING] THIS IS  CONSIDERED A PIONEER IN AFRO  CARIBBEAN SOUND SYSTEM AND EVEN  THOUGH THEIR MUSIC IS OTTER IT  IS INFLUENCED BY THE MUSIC  CREATED WHEN AFRICAN SLAVES  WERE BROUGHT TO PERU IN THE  EARLY 1500S THEY ESTABLISHED  THE AFRICAN MUSIC IN SOUTH  AMERICA.
THEIR LATEST SINGLE IS A MIX.
>> THEY ARE A DUO OF PANAMANIAN  COUSINS THAT COMBINE HIP-HOP,  NAKED, RIGATONI AND MORE.
THEY HAVE A NEW SINGLE OUT WITH  BIG SEAN.
>>.
[MUSIC] [SINGING]  PRODUCER AND  FILMMAKER AND DJ IS A FIERCE  PROPONENT OF AFRO-CUBAN THEM  SINCE SOUND.
HE CALLS HIMSELF A AFRO  ESPECIALLY ALAN AND HIS MUSIC  IS TROPICAL AFRO FUTURISM.
I RECOMMEND A COMPILATION TO  PRODUCED BY KYLES PETERSON AND  YOU CAN FIND HIS MUSIC ONLINE.
>> THIS IS FROM THE SMALL  VILLAGE IN VENEZUELA AND ALONG  WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS THEY  CREATE MUSIC THAT FOCUSES ON  THE AFRO SOUL GENRE WHICH  COMBINES HER VOCALS WITH POLLY  RHYTHM.
THEY HAVE AN ALBUM THAT YOU CAN  LOOK AT UNDER THE MANGO TREE  WHICH FEATURES 17 SINGERS AND  12 PERCUSSIONISTS.
[SINGING] [MUSIC]  IF ANY OF WHAT YOU JUST HEARD  MAKE SHE WANT TO DANCE YOU CAN  FIND A LIST OF THE  RECOMMENDATIONS ON OUR WEBSITE.
AND THAT'S OUR SHOW FOR THIS  WEEKEND.
