Description

Immigration is this week’s central topic on Latin Pulse, with in-depth interviews on the notable drop in the numbers of undocumented immigrants, reaching the lowest numbers in more than a generation. The program looks at how economics in Mexico, the U.S. and the global crisis have affected immigration. The program also looks at the linkages between immigration, economic remittances, politics and U.S. policy in Latin America. And the program includes background on the new hemispheric organization known as CELAC.

In-Depth Interviews:
