FREE TRADE?
- 'Using Chávez as Counterpoint, Bush Pursues Latin Trade Pacts' (New York Times, Steven R. Weisman) "Facing opposition to his proposed trade accords with Peru, Panama and Colombia from labor unions, social activist groups and many Democrats, President Bush has unleashed an intense campaign to win approval for the deals, arguing that they will strengthen capitalism and democracy and weaken Mr. Chávez in a volatile region. ... The trade pact with Peru is expected to be approved."
IMMIGRATION:
- 'Dreams Put On Hold For Many Illegal Immigrant Students' (Los Angeles Times, Teresa Watanabe) "Wilbur, who asked to be identified only by his first name, said his father was picked up by immigration agents a month ago after a political asylum request was rejected and was scheduled for deportation to his native Peru this week. But Wilbur, 20, a UCLA junior in political science, said Peru held no future for him because of the paucity of professional jobs and widespread corruption."
- 'Complexity Of Immigrants' National Ties Explored' (Washington Post, Karin Brulliard) "The longer Latino immigrants live in the United States, the more their transnational activities drop off and they see this nation as their "real homeland," the survey found. Still, nearly all consider themselves first Peruvians or Mexicans, say, rather than Americans. Although recent arrivals are more likely to send money home, they are less likely to travel home than are established Hispanic immigrants."
