* From his heart, body, mind and soul, he states, "The true character of our nation will reap big benefits when all U.S. citizens are reunited with their deported family members."

4. Education.
* A free education for all those who qualify, and a path to loan debt forgiveness. If other advanced civilized nations like Germany can do it, so can the United States of America!
* Not only increase and improve "Early Childhood Education," but make sure daycare hours are extended, costs minimized, and penalty fees for longer (or late) hours of daycare eliminated.

5. Jobs.
* An easy way to boost the economy and create more jobs, is to make the border crossings with México an efficient experience. A quick, safe and efficient crossing brings in more shoppers and tourists, and this in turn increases investment, commerce, tax revenue, and jobs.
* To stay competitive, we need to create a "green" and "technical" job industry at all levels, and to maximize the benefits, public education, the medicinal and manufacturing sectors, and the tourism and entertainment industries, must develop, adapt and exercise modern and environmentally safe job fields.

7. Native Americans.
Our nation is built on Native American land, the least we can do in return is to "promote Native American human rights, protect Tribal natural resources, preserve Tribal existence, and honor them with Indigenous People's day."

8. Infrastructure.
* We can improve our community and road network with smart and environmentally safe development and competitive bidding. Our beach front and sea side properties can be so much more, let's build them into an attractive area for businesses, tourist and locals.

9. Tourism.
* Here is a much needed project for the tourism industry in the 51st District. Juan Carlos Mercado "Charlie" proposes revamping Border Field State Park and adding an on site "Immigration Museum." There, we can tell all visitors and tourists about the immense and valuable history of the immigrant population, and how our border has evolved over the years. This would be a tour stop no one would want to miss. It is a win-win for everyone!
* Of equal importance, let's make "Chicano Park" the iconic cultural center it deserves to be. We can start by closing the five freeway on ramp located there, and creating a decorative stone walk path. At the very least, an annual "Chicano Park" festival. Juan Carlos Mercado "Charlie" also proposes and on site "Chicano Park Museum" depicting the history of the people and the neighborhood. This would also be a tour stop no one would want to miss, and another win-win for everyone!
