Mexican Exiles in Texas.
Attorney Carlos Spector, founder of the organization Mexicanos en el Exilio, is one of the protagonists of the film “El Paso”, by movie director Everardo González. The film tells the story of two Mexican journalists who leave their country after being threatened by organized crime. One is a cameraman for the powerful television network Televisa, and the other is the host of a radio show in Ciudad Juárez. Both were represented by Spector, who helped them win asylum in U.S. immigration court. In addition, journalist Federico Campbell Peña speaks about his book, “Stop Trump”, in which he cites the businesses that the virtual Republican candidate tried to create in Mexico, the repudiation he has sparked among Latinos, and the surveys which show he could win the U.S. presidency. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this edition of Línea Abierta.
Guests: Carlos Spector, specialist in political asylum and founder of Mexicanos en el Exilio, El Paso, Texas; Ricardo Chávez Aldana, journalist from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and today U.S. asylee; Federico Campbell Peña, journalist and editor of the website www.lahoradelmigrante.blogspot.com
