In an effort to counter the broad brush strokes that dominate discussions of immigration, the University of Texas at San Antonio is hosting a two-day seminar that will take a more nuanced look at the issue, said Harriett Romo, director of the school's Mexico Center.
Today and Friday at UTSA's downtown campus, the Bilateral Perspectives on Mexican Migration Conference will feature panelists from the U.S. and Mexico trying to show the impact immigration has on both countries and on immigrants themselves, Romo said.
Demographers, sociologists, economists and others will delve into the issue, including aspects such as health on the border and how to study international migration.
“The political discussions tend to simplify things and have sound bites and very little is based on actual research of what's happening,” Romo said. “And what we're trying to do is to bring a more analytic approach to the discussion.”
Victor Zúñiga, a professor at the Universidad de Monterrey, said he'll discuss his research about students who are schooled in both countries. There are 1 million Mexican-born children in U.S. schools, 500,000 U.S.-born children with Mexican parents in schools here, and 400,000 students in Mexican schools who have received schooling in the U.S., he said.
Some students are born in Mexico, grow up in the U.S. and return to Mexico for continuing education, others were born in the U.S. but return to Mexico at a young age.

I think this means "come listen to the good reasons to violate US law and then to not enforce it."
Ping!
