  • A RESOLUTION in REJECTION of the INSULAR CASES Authored By: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR)
    A RESOLUTION IN REJECTION OF THE INSULAR CASES Authored by: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR) WHEREAS the set of United States Supreme Court decisions referred to as the Insular Cases rely on a racist, Plessy-era doctrine of “separate and unequal” to establish the constitutional relationship between the United States and its territories. WHEREAS the Insular Cases rest on an explicitly White Anglo-Saxon supremacist vision of the country, made clear by the inclusion of deeply offensive language such as “alien races” and “people with an uncivilized race” when referring to the people living in U.S. territories. WHEREAS the racially grounded holdings in the Insular Cases are contrary to the text and history of the Constitution and have no modern relevance whatsoever. WHEREAS the legacy of the Insular Cases is an unequal legal and political relationship between the U.S. and the territories that continues to threaten the rights and interests of Americans living in the territories. WHEREAS the ongoing discrimination against citizens in U.S. territories reinforces the need to stop relying on the discredited assumptions about the people living in U.S. territories and antiquated notions of racial inferiority on which they were based. WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Justice continues to rely on the Insular Cases to argue for the continued exclusion of the territories from essential federal programs and benefits.1 BE IT RESOLVED that the Young Democrats of America call on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass H.Res.2792, introduced by Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) with Rep.

  • July 13, 2009 the Honorable Laura Richardson US House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Richardson
    July 13, 2009 The Honorable Laura Richardson U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Richardson: The Customs and Border Coalition (CBC), an industry voice on trade facilitation, national security and customs and border issues, represents a broad base of companies and associations (many in your district) engaged in international trade. The Coalition includes manufacturers, retailers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, and virtually every other entity involved in global supply chains. We write today in opposition to a proposed increase in the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) from 0.125 percent to 0.4375 percent, as outlined in the Making Opportunities Via Efficient and More Effective National Transportation Act of 2009 (MOVEMENT Act). While the CBC agrees that improvements to infrastructure are needed, there are several reasons why increasing the HMT is the not the proper financing method. First, the HMT is a user fee designed to reimburse the government for services provided to users (e.g., importers and exporters) of the nation’s ports as part of transportation infrastructure funding. The HMT trust fund has enjoyed a surplus for many years and no projects are backlogged for lack of funds. Thus, we do not believe that an increase in the HMT is warranted. Second, in light of the current global and U.S. economic crisis, the proposed increase in the HMT will increase operating costs by billions of dollars for U.S. industry, seriously harming our ability to compete in the global market. The financial burden of such an increase will fall on industries importing critical components and final products for their domestic operations, including small and medium-sized businesses that are already heavily affected by the current negative economic climate.
