Línea Abierta Goes to Texas to Broadcast Live from El Paso on Current Border Tensions |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
In an effort to bring first-hand accounts and views from U.S.-Mexico border residents on the national debate about the border, Línea Abierta, public radio’s national talk show in Spanish, will broadcast a live roundtable from El Paso, Texas and a live radio forum with Mexican émigrés from neighboring Ciudad Juárez, México on pressing binational issues. The live broadcasts in Spanish will be fed over the national public radio satellite system as follows: Tuesday, November 29, 2005. 12 NOON to 2 PM PACIFIC TIME. THE ÉMIGRÉ VOTE. For the first time in history, Mexicans living abroad will be able to vote in Mexico’s presidential elections, but time is running out for millions. Línea Abierta crosses the border to air live from a special voter registration center in Ciudad Juárez set up to help register migrant voters who travel from the U.S. ALSO, WALLS AND BRIDGES. The U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez, the largest in the world, has ignited protests from Mexican border residents who complain of arbitrary rejections to their applications for “laser visas,” the cards that allow border residents to travel into the U.S. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. 12 NOON to 2 PM PACIFIC TIME. WALLS AND BRIDGES II. Massive and arbitrary rejections of border crossing cards for local Mexican residents by the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez are raising questions about the U.S. commitment to help keep border families and communities together. In addition, issues such as the recent declaration of a border emergency in neighboring New Mexico and Arizona, the patrolling of vigilante groups, the calls for a 2000-mile high-tech fence, the record number of border crossing deaths, and the efforts by locals to build bridges of understanding across the border will all be discussed in this two-hour roundtable broadcast from the studios of KTEP, the station of The University of Texas at El Paso. These special programs will air in Ciudad Juárez on XHUAR Radio Órbita 106.7 FM, the local station of the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio. Co-hosting the programs will be Samuel Orozco, founding executive producer, and Carlos Spector-Calderón, an immigration law expert from El Paso and long-time contributing analyst for Línea Abierta.
