Description

The unseen effects of immigration policy in the United States are the focus this week on "Latin Pulse."

The discussion looks at a research project to see how deportations affect Salvadoran communities, with a special focus on the effects on children. The news segment of the program looks at the outcome of the presidential elections in Paraguay and plans that president-elect Horacio Cartes has to reconnect his country to the trade bloc Mercosur.

The program includes in-depth interviews with:
