Congressman Solomon Ortiz to Speak About the Merida Initiative on Azteca
America's 'Issues: Caras y Voces'

LOS ANGELES, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America, the fastest-growing
Hispanic television network in the United States, is proud to feature Texas
Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz on the Monday, April 21 broadcast of "Issues:
Caras y Voces" (Issues: Faces and Voices), hosted by veteran Latino journalist
Armando Guzman.
Congressman Ortiz is involved with numerous issues that affect the
Hispanic population of the U.S. He is a supporter of border security and
comprehensive immigration reform, but is an opponent of building a wall along
the Mexican border. Rep. Ortiz, along with 13 other senior members of
Congress, recently signed onto an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing
that the Homeland Security Department's decision to waive over 30 laws to
proceed with the border wall was unconstitutional.
In addition to his interest in the Hispanic community, as a senior member
of Congress and Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee of the House Armed
Services Committee, Congressman Ortiz has great knowledge of the state of the
military and of current Iraq/Afghanistan operations. Congressman Ortiz is
also one of the most influential supporters of the Merida Initiative, which
proposes to send financial support to Mexico to combat the narcotics trade.
"Issues: Caras y Voces" features top leaders that impact the Hispanic
community through one-on-one interviews conducted by Armando Guzman. Covering
the White House and the Capitol for almost two decades, Mr. Guzman is one of
the most respected correspondents in Washington. The interview forum airs
every Monday evening during Noticiero Azteca America, the network news
broadcast of Azteca America.

Richardson, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Mel Martinez
(R-FL), Congressman Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), former
Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano,
