González NOTICIAS EN ESPAÑOL Migración Insuficiente presupuesto limita apoyo consular a migrantes en Estados Unidos Jose Antonio Roman 4 de Abril, 2007 La Jornada El discurso de la secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores, Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, de defender hasta el "límite de nuestras capacidades" a los migrantes mexicanos, se topa con insuficiencia y falta de recursos presupuestales del gobierno de Felipe Calderón para abrir nuevas sedes consulares en territorio estadunidense, cuando las redadas y las políticas antimigrantes se exacerban. Pasado ya el primer trimestre del año, en este 2007 no se prevé ampliar la red consular en Estados Unidos, que consta de 44 sedes, junto con la embajada mexicana en Washington. Extraoficialmente, en la cancillería se habla de que "en unos meses más", sin precisar la fecha, podría reabrirse el consulado de Nueva Orleáns, el cual fue cerrado tras el paso del huracán Katrina, en julio de 2005. Sin embargo, las dificultades presupuestarias lo han impedido. Preparan ofensiva antinmigrante en EU David Brooks, Corresponsal La Jornada 3 de Enero, 2007 Nueva York, 3 de enero. Durante los primeros días de este año, decenas de miles de trabajadores migrantes mexicanos y latinoamericanos enfrentaron el frío invernal y abordaron el Metro para laborar un día más a fin de enriquecer la economía de esta ciudad y enviar a sus tierras su parte de los miles de millones de dólares en remesas y para leer las noticias de que nuevamente están bajo amenaza. Las fuerzas antinmigrantes de este país están por lanzar su contraofensiva no sólo para detener cualquier intento de reforma a las leyes migratorias, sino para criminalizar, marginar y expulsar a los "ilegales". Ya hay un acuerdo entre legisladores republicanos y su liderazgo de que la primera iniciativa legislativa aprobada en el año en la Cámara de Representantes incorporará una serie de iniciativas antinmigrantes. La reforma migratoria en Estados Unidos: Mucho humo y poco fuego Jim Cason y David Brooks La Jornada 23 de Noviembre, 2003 Actores muy poderosos en Estados Unidos están a favor de una reforma migratoria, pero ninguno se atreverá a votar mientras la economía estadunidense no crezca y disminuya el desempleo. Mientras cinco proyectos de reforma esperan turno en el Congreso, el campo de batalla se ha desplazado a las regiones y estados, donde con diversas medidas se avanza en una reforma migratoria de facto NEWS SOURCES IN ENGLISH  The San Jose Mercury News is the major daily newspaper in San Jose, California and Silicon Valley. The paper is owned by MediaNews Group. Its headquarters and printing plant are located in North San Jose next to the Nimitz Freeway (Interstate 880).

Environment Tijuana's Ecoparque: Decentralized Water Treatment And Reuse Greg Bloom, FNS Editor Tijuana is a city of steep, close hills and hills make centralized wastewater treatment plants expensive and large consumers of energy as sewage must be pumped over hill after hill until it reaches a large, often foul-smelling treatment plant that can cost close to US $1 billion to build. Many of Tijuana's hills are also crowded with homes or are covered in grasses that are brown much of the year. Other hills show signs of severe erosion or scars where they were cut into so as to create level building sites. Tijuana's Ecoparque, a simple, low-energy system that cleans wastewater and reuses it to irrigate a designated green area, provides an answer to all of the above mentioned problems. Ecoparque began in 1986 as a study by the Colegio de la Frontera Norte (Colef) of a decentralized system for wastewater treatment and reuse in urban areas (Sistema Decentralizado de Tratamiento y Reuso de Aguas Negras en Zonas Urbanas, SIDETRAN). An Ecoparque publication states that SIDETRAN is based on two premises, first that sewage is a valuable resource which is now being wasted and second that sewage must be managed in a decentralized way so as to maximize its usefulness within urban areas. Government Mexico: NGOs and Governments Increasingly at Odds InterPress Service May 21, 1998 Increasing criticism of government policies from non-governmental organizations here, especially on the issue of Chiapas, is causing great discomfort to government authorities. Last week, President Ernesto Zedillo accused certain NGO's of seeking political power by roundabout means, beyond the bounds of the "rules of democracy." Today, a number of such groups rejected the comment, demanding the leader name names. NGOs from the "All Rights for Everyone" network said the government is making unfounded accusations in order to distract attention from its responsibility in the "fratricidal war" against the indigenous people of Chiapas and the economic crisis and social problems. Immigration Dobbs: A Peculiar Day for Immigration Rallies Lou Dobbs CNN May 2, 2007 What a spectacle, what a mess. What a day for thousands and thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters to march through the streets of many of our biggest cities demanding amnesty for illegally entering the country. Tuesday was given over to illegal aliens and their supporters to demand forgiveness for using fraudulent documents and assisting others in entering this country illegally. What a day for illegal aliens and their supporters to demand not only amnesty but also the end to immigration raids and an end to deportations. Fence Meets Wall of Skepticism Critics Doubt a 700-Mile Barrier Would Stem Migrant Tide John Pomfret, Washington Post Staff Writer
The Washington Post, Tuesday,
October 10, 2006; Page A03Legislation passed by Congress mandating the fencing of 700 miles of the U.S. border with Mexico has sparked opposition from an array of land managers, businesspeople, law enforcement officials, environmentalists and U.S. Border Patrol agents as a one-size-fits-all policy response to the nettlesome task of securing the nation's borders. Mexico Warns Jobs Key to Halting Illegals Stephen Dinan The Washington Times March 13, 2007 As President Bush prepares to meet today with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, Mr. Calderon and his government are increasingly making it clear the solution to the U.S. illegal immigration problem lies in Mexico. "I will say this very clearly -- comprehensive immigration reform in the United States starts in Mexico," Arturo Sarukhan, Mexico's new ambassador to the U.S., said in an interview last week in Washington previewing this week's meeting. "Unless Mexico is able to generate the type of economic growth, job creation, well-paid job creation, we will still have a difficult time, even though there's a comprehensive immigration agreement [in the United States], to dampen the root causes that propel so many Mexicans to seek a better life across the border," Mr. Sarukhan told The Washington Times. Richardson says U.S.-Mexico border fence won't work Las Vegas Sun May 1, 2007 Presidential hopeful Bill Richardson repeated his opposition to building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday and suggested his Democratic opponents who backed the idea did so for political reasons. Security Mexico Set to Swap U.N. Vote on Iraq Fox, in trouble at home, lobbying Bush to back immigration bill now before Congress Robert Collier, Chronicle Staff Writer San Francisco Chronicle Thursday, October 16, 2003 As the Bush administration lobbies other members of the U.N. Security Council for a new show of support for the American occupation of Iraq few countries' votes count more than Mexico's. A vote is expected today on a new resolution giving U.N. endorsement for foreign donations of troops and money to the U.S. attempts to stabilize Iraq. Mexico's decision whether to support President Bush or to side with France and other opponents of the U.S. position may help swing the balance between whether Bush wins a narrow victory or a landslide. Trade MEXICO: Conference Draws 2,000 NGOs from 83 Countries Diego Cevallos CorpWatch September 8th, 2003 MEXICO CITY - This week's World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial conference in the Mexican resort of Cancun will also serve as a showcase and podium for nearly 2,000 civil society organisations from 83 countries, whose members have been flowing in by the plane- and busload.
