Pro-immigrant activist Jose Jacques Medina considers that accelerating the deportation of migrant children who are traveling alone and are in immigration detention centers in the United States won’t resolve the problem, and it will only increase the abandonment of the children. Jacques Medina called on President Obama to stop the procedures that causes the division of families; the same ones that affect the two-million minors, who are the sons and daughters of undocumented people and have been banished from the U.S. Also in this edition, Senator Layda Sansores, encourages Mexican residents living abroad to be ready and participate in the referendum that could take place in 2015, in which the Mexican society might be able to deny or ratify the reforms pertaining to the energy industry of the country. Martha Elena Ramirez hosts this edition from Mexico City.
Guests: Jose Jaques Medina, Coordinator, Movimiento Mesoamericano Migrante, Mexico, DF; Layda Sansores, Senator, Labor Party, Mexico, DF.
