A lawman’s change of heart. By Alfredo Corchado, Puente News Collaborative. Iconic Texas Sheriff Arvin West was a leading voice against migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He pushed strict measures favored by former President Donald Trump. But West says his perspective is aligned with what he sees as the reality of the border, his weariness of divisive politics, and the wishes of neighbors who’ve voted him into office. Arvin West is the iconic borderland sheriff in far-west Texas’ deeply rural Hudspeth County. His distinctive drawl and no-nonsense policing have made him a darling of conservative politicians and fellow sheriffs nationwide, who are convinced that migrants... (read more)

An immigration plan. By Morgan Smith. The elections are five days away as I write this and who knows who will become our next President. Immigration has been a major issue, one where rhetoric has won out over reality and where migrants have been unfairly demonized for political gain. In the hope that after the election there will be room for common sense solutions, here is a plan that might clarify the complicated issues. First, in an effort to simplify these issues, I’ve divided migrants into two general groups – those who are currently in the US and those who want to come here. 1. Those who are in the US. a. Roughly 12 million migrants are here illegally, most of whom came legally but then overstayed their visas. The vast majority have families, homes, jobs or... (read more)

Arizona companies building tech to reduce carbon emissions. As climate change continues to wreak havoc, companies in Arizona are developing technologies intended to pull greenhouse gas from the air. Arizona’s unusually intense summer heat — with triple-digit temperatures continuing into October — plus frequent wildfires and decreased flow in the Colorado River are all linked to greenhouse gas buildup, scientists say. CarbonCapture Inc., a climate technology company based in Los Angeles, is building an 83,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Mesa. The facility will develop direct air capture (DAC) modules that remove CO2 from the atmosphere by drawing air through special filters called sorbents. “This is the right time to... (read more)

Report: CA Latinos fishing for subsistence eat twice the legal limit of mercury. Hispanic families who fish to put food on the table are disproportionately affected by mercury, which accumulates in seafood in Southern California. Surveys at 10 piers in Los Angeles and Orange counties found 60% of the anglers were Latino and native Spanish speakers, and 78% of them were fishing to feed their families. Sofia Barboza, ocean manager for the Hispanic Access Foundation, said the families are exposed to toxins in fish from polluted waters. "We found that Hispanic anglers in California are actually ingesting an average of 13.9 micrograms of mercury per day via fish consumption that they had caught in local waters," Barboza reported.

Foreign aid and the ‘root causes’ of migration. Migration from low-income to high-income countries is one of the most contentious socioeconomic phenomena of our times. The vast differences in incomes and living conditions between countries result in very high aspirations to migrate internationally, which are projected to increase even further over the decades to come (Hanson and McIntosh 2016). According to the African Youth Survey 2024, for instance, 58% of young Africans state that it is likely that they will leave their country in the next three years (Ichikowitz Foundation 2024). In response, policymakers in high-income countries make use of foreign aid as a strategy to mitigate the ‘root causes’ of migration in developing regions, such as poverty and... (read more)

Mexico and the U.S.: Strengthening a strategic manufacturing alliance. Too often, discussions about U.S.-Mexico relations get overshadowed by political cycles and electoral dynamics in the United States. Yet, when we focus on economic fundamentals, Mexico stands out as an ideal manufacturing partner. The reasons are straightforward: geographically, no country is closer to the U.S. with such a significant manufacturing sector, and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which began as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), is one of the most comprehensive trade deals of its kind. Mexico’s labor market and familiarity with the U.S. economy further strengthen this partnership, and the extensive road, rail, port, and airport access enhances... (read more)

More efficient cross-border networks needed as US-Mexico trade rises. Rapid growth in US-Mexico trade is forcing a maturation of cross-border supply chain networks that logistics executives say will be critical as freight volumes rise. New warehouses and logistics facilities are opening almost weekly at freight crossings such as Laredo and El Paso, Texas. But those facilities are only the tip of the spear. Behind them lie complicated communication and transportation lines linking those nodes that form cross-border supply chains. Those networks take more work to build than the nodes themselves. And the strength of those networks is becoming more critical. The networks taking shape today are more diverse... (read more)
