HOME FROM ATLANTA and unspinning my tales, so please cozy up to the emerald-hot rails. Oh, what? You heard me speak in Atlanta on blogging and New Media? And now aren’t sure how to reconcile some of what I said with how I’m running this little copper-wired circus? Well, then let me briefly and concretely interruptus.
OF THE SANCTUARY, the latest developments, and Nezua’s flight to Atlanta to receive on the group’s behalf an award for Blogging in Ethnic Media. Also, news of our Luis Ramirez piece being printed, and an appeal for good vibes, Xanax, and spare change.
AS WE MOVE CLOSER AND CLOSER to enacting immigration reform, the situation on the ground is evolving as well. Nothing is static for an issue that touches so many people across so many communities. This week’s wire follows up on trends observed last week: holding mainstream media accountable, enforcement tactics, and immigration’s positive effect on the economy.
In the modern world, borders do not separate families, nor commerce, nor soldiers, nor bank accounts and their owners. And NAFTA has allowed Mexico’s corn crop to be so devalued that Mexico—the land where the plant was born roughly 5,000 years ago—now imports corn, forcing streams of campesinos to migrate north…where we lock them up.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
