Illegal immigrant protestors stood outside of the Department of Homeland Security’s office in San Bernardino this morning chanting, “No papers, no fear – immigrants are marching here.”

Children of illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents declared that they are tired of living in fear of being deported.  They claim to have lived in the United States for the majority of their lives, and want to be treated equally as American citizens.

10 people were arrested for blocking the entrance to the building and refusing to move.  Most of the protestors were from the Inland Empire, and they could face deportation.

Remittances to Mexico are on the rise again

Posted on January 13th, 2012 No Comments

Mexican-Americans sending remittances to their Mexican relatives suffered a three-year slump, but is now on the rise again.

Now that the U.S. Job Market is improving, estimates of about $23 billion are projected to be reported by the central bank of Mexico when annual figures are released in January.  According to Jesus Hernandez of the Continental Currency Branch in downtown Los Angeles, ”People are working more…wires are coming back up.”

Remittances, which are Mexico’s second largest source of foreign exchange, were radically affected by the drop in the housing market in the U.S. and tougher laws on illegal immigrants in certain states.  This change also greatly affects low-income Mexicans who, for some, rely on remittances for food, housing, and other basic necessities.

2011 Immigration-related bills

Posted on December 14th, 2011 No Comments

Compared to 2010, states in the U.S. introduced more immigration-related bills into state legislatures.  However, fewer laws were enforced, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Lawmakers continue to be agitated by the federal government’s inaction on immigration law, and introducing bills on the local level is their way of expressing that frustration.

Following Arizona, others states including Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah have cracked down on immigration law enforcement and enforce police to determine the citizenship status of immigrants.

California, however, has gone the opposite direction, and enacted bills that help immigrants attend college.

There was a total 1,607 immigration-related bills introduced across the country.

Posted on November 18th, 2011 No Comments

Authorities have arrested eight men in an immigration sting after it was found that they were using a new tactic to get immigrants into the country.

The new plan allowed smugglers to use cell phones in mountain areas to talk immigrants step by step through the process of immigrating. The eight men were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Los Angeles area.

This group used only cell phones and no foot guides in order to smuggle the immigrants into the U.S. Authorities have said that this is becoming more and more common as cell phone coverage reaches to further areas.
