El Nuevo Diario (Managua, Nicaragua) 6/18/10

Proposed Nicaragua law found to be like Arizona's

Articles in an immigration bill being reviewed for approval by the National Assembly in Managua, Nicaragua, have sparked a controversy for being as "drastic" as those of Costa Rica and the US. The following article from El Nuevo Diario, titled “New immigration law would be ‘dehumanizing’ “ and translated in full, sums up the opposition's arguments:

“New immigration law would be ‘dehumanizing’“

If the Immigration and Alien Law were approved, particularly in its present state, its Articles 153 to 158 would require every hotel, inn and motel, as well as public transport and taxi drivers, to ask for identification from those who requested service in order to avoid a fine. Heydi Gonzalez, coordinator of the Nicaraguan Network of the Migration Civil Society, pointed this out and considers that, in the first place, a person cannot be criminalized for being a migrant without legal documentation, and even less, that a fine be assessed to one who provides shelter or transportation, which would be a violation of human rights.

The Law, approved in principle and now undergoing study of its specifics, has articles that impose fines and even criminal proceedings against those who provide service to a migrant who is in irregular status, thus, they will be obligated to demand identity and travel documents from aliens. Likewise, Article 153 prohibits the hiring of undocumented workers, or those who, though in legal status, are not authorized to perform work activities.

Gonzalez commented that every State has its regulations, and that similar or more stringent criteria of control than those mentioned in the recently approved law exist in the entire Central American region; nevertheless, in Nicaragua, sanctions or fines ought to be imposed only on those who house, transport or hire undocumented aliens when this takes place within the violation of migrant or people trafficking.

The representative from the Migrants’ Network set forth, “It would be a dehumanizing law. Let us imagine that a South American, Asian or African victim of people traffickers was abandoned out in the elements, but no one can provide him humanitarian assistance because it’s prohibited by the law. That’s the risk incurred in this type of regulation. It’s obvious that every country has the right to regulate migratory traffic and to establish requirements, but strict migratory policies and expensive procedures compel people to travel without documentation.â€

I have heard of these attacks, but I just thought it was the cartels shooting each other. With all the violence going on between the cartels, why do they think the deaths are mysterious?

In an internet conference with students, Calleros commented that the recent cases of two migrants killed at the hands of the Border Patrol are indications of what can foster exacerbated anti-Mexican feelings.

No, Juan, it's the murder of Mr. Krentz and countless others that foster anti-Mexican feelings.

What got me is that they were dressed in Camo. Im no expert on Cartels and it would not be anything extraordinary if they dress in camo, but it just struck me as something a renegade sniper might do.

I am no expert on cartels either, but now that you tell me they were dressed in camo it doesnt sound right to me either. I have never heard of them (cartel members) dressing like that. They dont seem to care who sees them or when they murder people. They even do it in broad daylight. You are right, it sounds more like a sniper acting alone.
