Donald Trump's criticism of the 2011 Alabama immigration law and his stand on immigration calling for large scale deportation in August 2015
08/23/2015
Trump was sharply critical of the 2011 Alabama immigration law designed to promote self-deportation in calling it "crazy" and "maniacal." What changed in 2015 when Trump called for large scale deportation of illegal immigrants during the presidential campign is not clear. Two other developments happened since the Alabama law- the U.S. economy had largely recovered from the worst effects of the recession and immigration from Mexico was down to low levels, a trickle not seen in a long time as a result of the recession. A third development was that President Obama had pursued a policy of aggressive deportation in his years in office followed by an executive order on immigration late in the second term granting illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship.

Mexico's changes to its constitution and oil law that allow foreign oil companies to compete with Pemex in 2013
10/01/2012
The PAN party tried repeatedly to make the changes to the constitution for the last decade to open up the oil industry to major oil companies but failed to win the support of the PRI party for a two thirds majority in Congress. In a historic vote the PRI and PAN parties join to make the changes in 2013. Mexico could become a net oil importer by 2020 if production remains stuck at 2.5 million barrels a day, say experts. Western oil companies knowhow and investment is sorely needed to expand production. Mexico is able to invest only

U.S. president Mexico says about Trump's plan to stop remittances to Mexico, about stopping each and every Western Union transaction- "good luck with that." A column in the WSJ says this is an election ploy for voters feeling hurt by the recession. It says there is litttle chance that Mexico would agree or that remittances could be stopped without hurting the U.S. economy with capital controls.

Immigration from Mexico and the U.S. economic recovery in 2014-2015
03/08/2015
With the sharp decline in immigrants from Mexico crossing the border following the 2009 recession and increased enforcement at the border, the recovery in construction has benefitted mostly native born Hispanic Americans. Of about 500,000 jobs created in the construction industry in 2014 about 315,000 went to Hispanics. The unemployment rate dropped by 5% for Hispanics in 2014, compared to less than 2.8% for blacks and 1.4% for whites, according to the Labor Department. Hispanics also took the biggest hit as the construction industry declined in 2009, the rebound is now reversing this. Hispanic employment has returned to pre-2009 recession levels in 2015.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
