Turbulent times in local Zacatecan clubs
A consensus seems to be emerging that the federation should not support candidates — either in Mexico or in California — but should lobby on issues that concern members.
Yet the days when Mexican politicians could ignore or control immigrants are also over.
“We’re telling [Mexican politicians] now that it’s not like that,” says Efrain Jimenez, federation vice president and a San Fernando mechanic. “We sent a clear message: ‘Yes, we’re with you. We want to be part of the solution in Mexico, but don’t try acting like you did when we lived back in Mexico.’ . . . If they want our [political] support, we’ll be watching from here what they do.”
