The
person
we're
honoring
today
really
exemplifies
the
type
of
leadership
that
allows
Philadelphia
to
be
the
leader,
a
global
city,
proud
of
our
sanctuary
status,
proud
of
about
the
fact
that
we
protect
immigrants
that
we
welcome
immigrants
and
that
this
particular
constituent
see
the
Mexican
community
has
been
well
represented
as
it
grows
and
contributes
to
the
economy
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
I'm.
Going
to
briefly
allow
my
council
colleagues,
a
woman
Kim
who
wanted
to
say
a
few
words
before
the
presentation.
B
Thank
you
so
much
counseling
Canyon
is
Sanchez.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
statements
prior
to
coming
into
council
I
spent
20
years
of
my
life
working
with
an
immigrant
and
communities
who
don't
often
have
a
voice
in
empower
and
in
all
of
our
struggles
that
we
dealt
with
whether
it
was
around
issues
with
force
or
whether
it
was
language
access.
Whether
we
were
we
were
dealing
with
the
schools
and
harassment
and
bias
issues,
dishy
issues
that
were
challenging
and
difficult
issues
that
were
joyful
and
cultural
celebrations.
B
Our
consul
general
for
my
cisco
was
there
and
I
want
to
extend
our
deepest
gratitude
from
all
the
diverse
immigrant
communities
of
Philadelphia
who
wish
him
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts,
much
gratitude,
much
joy
in
his
next
ventures
in
Asia
and
that
he
will
always
have
a
home
here
in
Philadelphia.
Thank
you.

So
with
that
we'll
get
started
recognizing
and
honoring
as
consort
Carlos
cheetah
Carver
Alice
on
25
years
of
outstanding
public
service
to
Mexico
and
the
city
of
Philadelphia
where's
Carlos,
cheetah
Morales
was
born
in
mexico
city
in
1963,
where
he
took
courses
in
strategic

the
national
institute

Well,
as

has
been
working
with
the
mexican
ministry
of
foreign
affairs
since
1983,
and
became
a
foreign
service
career
member
in
1991
and.
E
And
I'll
just
point
out
as
chair
of
global
opportunities
in
a
creative,
innovative
economy,
that
our
state
does
4.6
billion
dollars
worth
of
trade
with
Mexico,
one
of
our
top
trading
partners
to
our
benefit
and
the
Consul
General
has
been
fantastic
for
the
economic
benefit
of
our
city.
Whereas,
as
an
officer
in
Mexico
City,
he
was
the
analyst
chief
of
Department
for
consul
of
statistics.
E
Vice
director
for

coordination,
director
of

Affairs,
deputy

director

and
acting

director
for

services
and
whereas
in
his
role
as
a

he
was
appointed
deputy

at
the

of

in

Pennsylvania
deputy

and
acting

at
the

in

California
and

California.
He
returned
to
Philadelphia
as
the
head
of
the
consulate
of
Mexico
and
has
served
here
since
August,
twentieth,
2010
and.
B
Whereas
console
gira
cabela's
has
demonstrated
his
commitment
to
improve
the
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
the
conflict
of
Mexico
in
Philadelphia
or
has
reached
out
into
the
community
in
order
to
establish
a
consistent
political
dialogue
with
authorities,
business
organizations,
cultural
entities
and
community
leaders
with
the
intention
of
building
better
relations
between
Mexico
and
the
Delaware
Valley
region.
And
whereas
in
his
role
consult
get
out.
Cabron
has
been
a
leading
advocate
for
immigration,
reform,
language
access
and
increasing
access
to
government
to
the
Mexican
community
and.
D
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
