Migration, Remittances & La Frontera (Lp5182012)

Two recent studies on migration, the U.S.-Mexico border, and remittances take center stage on this week's edition of Latin Pulse. The program discusses the decline of migration but the counter-intuitive finding that remittances are increasing. The program also deals with how migration and immigration policy are affected by the drug war. The program also covers the landmark legislation passed this week for gay rights and gender identification in Argentina. In-Depth Interviews: Maureen Meyer of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and Manuel Orozco of the Inter-American Dialogue.
