Mexican Immigrants: Escaping Hardships Tori Thomas What if Mexico was not known as a place of crime and drugs, but a place for family vacations? Mexico is one of the main places that sends immigrants to the United States. Some reasons for people

leaving include

child marriage, the

Mexican

president, and drug

cartels. Mexico

has become a place

where violence

occurs instead of a

place where

families can go to for

vacation.

Mexico has many

interesting

museums and

beautiful sights,

but they are not

being used

because people are

afraid to go to

Mexico. The violence

and political

oppression in Mexico is driving the Mexican people out of their country and into the United States. Mexico is trying to break the prejudice against them, but there must be many changes in political power and everyday life. The following are some push and pull factors of Mexico. People in Mexico are trying to escape poverty, and Mexico is trying to keep them in by changing laws. Women

in

Mexico

are

being forced to get

married at 12

years and older for

status

and

economic issues. The

women

are

marrying

old

enough to be

Laws

have been put

their

men

parent.

in place to protect

women,

but

most places do not

enforce

the

laws. 12 year olds

are

having

children

that

they

are

not

prepared

to

take

care of. Women

being forced to marry young is a reason that women leave Mexico because they do not feel protected. The young women are also being sexually assaulted and beaten. The women of Mexico do not feel protected by their government and migrate to the United States. Women are fearful of their lives and do not know how to control their own destiny. The women are also put


into poverty with their children. The children suffer birth defects and diseases. The women are leaving Mexico to go to the United States for Safety. Often times when they leave they are leaving illegally. A push factor for Mexico is Donald Trump. Recently there was a protest against Trump on the largest street in Mexico. The protests were telling Trump to treat immigrants with more respect and more sensitivity. The protests lead to riots and there were representations of Trump that were burned. The people also rioted because of their own leader, but most of the protests were because of Trump and how he is going against the Mexican immigrants. Mexico?s leader has overtaxed them and upped the prices on everyday supplies like gas. Women wore shirts saying "Nasty Woman Keep Fighting" and made signs to protest. The protest was a large step forward for Mexico as a community to come together. Drug cartels are another reason that Mexicans are leaving. The United States is one of the main places that Mexican drug dealers sell. The dealers try to cross the border with their drugs. The homicide rate is thought to be high in Mexico even though it is in the middle of the countries in rates. The reason for people thinking the rates are so high is because the media only shows the crime that goes on in Mexico, and not the fun places to visit and family vacation spots. Many people fear for their lives and do not know when their last day is going to be. Most people do not like to take chances and run to the United States to get away from the violence, but they think that running is their only option. The United States has helped Mexico in some cases such as El Chapo, a drug dealer who has escaped Mexican prisons numerous times. The violence issue

has

hurt

Mexico

in

population

and

economics.


North Dakota Pipeline Protests and Progress William Messersmith The North Dakota pipeline is a project that is expected to be a 1,172 mile pipeline that can carry almost half a million barrels of oil. The oil was first discovered in the 1950?s The pipeline would travel through the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. The region is estimated to hold up to 7.4 billion barrels of oil. According to CNN the pipeline is causing quite a stir with people. Many people just don?t see it as a great option because if the pipe breaks it could cause a spill in water sources or even just above land. Also, many other people just don?t want to look at a pipeline running through their land. People have decide to even set up campsites in the areas the pipeline is supposed to be built in order to protest it being built. According to many news sources not only are just people all over upset with the pipeline but, many tribes are as the pipeline is supposed to go through their land. Many tribes such as the Rock Sioux Tribe are not happy with the pipeline. Some of the biggest reasons have to do with the idea that the pipeline may break and then ruin their entire source of drinking water. There source of drinking water comes from lakes, streams, rivers and ponds.

According to CNN many protesters of the pipeline have destroyed the tents they were living in by using fire because of the cold weather conditions they are located in. They did this because it was the easiest way to take down all of the frozen tents. As many as one hundred people voluntarily left the campsites. Many people have also been injured inside the


campsite such as a seventeen year old girl who suffered severe burns to her hands and face and was then rushed to a medical center in Minneapolis. The campsites have now been cleared for the moving forward of the project. President Donald Trump signed executive actions advancing the pipelines approval.The actions by President Trump cast aside efforts by former President Barack Obama to block the pipeline construction. The pipeline is now ready to proceed with construction. According to CNN "the acting secretary of the Army to expeditiously review requests for approvals to construct and operate the Dakota Access Pipeline in compliance with the law." Meaning they had to make sure that everything would not be illegal. The problem is that the pipeline would still go over tribal land and according to the law of the United States they are not allowed to do this without the consent of a tribe they would be building through. Right now the Rock Sioux tribe is filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for failing to address the tribe?s concerns and violating federal permitting law. The U.S. Army Corps has decided to move on with making the pipeline through their land without their consent. According to U.S. treaties and the United Nation?s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples the U.S. cannot move on with the pipeline because they must have the consent of the Tribe. As of now the future of the pipeline looks uncertain but, many still believe that the construction of the pipeline will start sooner rather than later.


Protests Strike Brazil for the First Time in Centuries Emma Morton Just after midnight on Friday in Sao Paulo/Brasilia, Brazilian tear gassed demonstrators and rioters set fire to buses in several cities, fought with police, blocked roads, and marched on the president?s property. This 24 hour event was the biggest protest since Temer took over as President; the last general strike was in 1996 over the privatizations and labor reforms under President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Around 40 million people stayed home and thousands went to the streets to protest because they wanted to show their anger over the pension and legislative bills current President Temer is trying to pass.

Temer took over last year

when leader Dilma

Rousseff broke budgetary

rules and was empeached.

As vice president, Temer

took over. Temer ?s

proposals say that more

flexible labor rules will

revive a declining economy

and the pension system

will go bankrupt, are

looking more and more

likely to pass. These bills

would make labor laws

weaker and decrease the

funds of retirement and the strike has been saying that the changes will make workers too vulnerable and strip away benefits. His most controversial measures would be raising the retirement age to 65 for men and 62 for women, up from the current 60 and 55; the liberalization of labor laws, and the 20-year freeze on spending increases. The peaceful protest turned violent when demonstrators began smashing bank windows, erecting barricades, setting

fires, and torching

eight buses. The police

responded with tear

gas and rubber bullets.

Similar events

occurred in Sao Paulo as

attempts were made

to march to Michel Temer ?s

private residence. The

protestors clashed with

police who fired

rubber bullets and stun

grenades. In return,

the protesters hurled

rocks, set fires,

smashed street lamps and threw concrete blocks into the avenue. The largest demonstration was


when thousands gathered in front Rio de Janeiro's state assembly. The protesters fought police who tried to remove them. The police fired tear gas while the protesters threw stones and lit small fires in the streets. Many downtown shopkeepers were told by police to close early out of concern that protesters might go there. Many commuter trains and metro lines were stopped, all buses stayed off the roads, metro was closed, barricades and fires were put up and started in the streets by airports, and around 35 million Brazilians didn't show up for work, which is over one-third of the working population. There were some reports of delayed and canceled flights as well. Unemployment overall has reached (a record) 13.7 percent; equal to 14 million people without jobs. The strike overall was denounced as a failure by Temer while some unions said it was a success due to the commitment of millions of workers. After the entire strike had passed, the strike did not have any immediate impacts as the bill still is expected to pass. However the strike did impact the auto production in Sao Paulo, which concentrates most of the industry in Brazil. After this event, Temer announced that there would be no public transportation because of the ?evil? violence. The reforms that Temer created angered many Brazilians, which caused his government approval rating to drop to 10 percent. The government downplayed the strike, saying that all people were at work. Brazil's economy is in a deep recession and many are frustrated with Temer who says that the pension and legislative changes will help Brazilians in the long run. This strike shows that Temer has not yet convinced the people that the changes are needed; however, the bills are still moving easily through Congress and are expected to pass.


Venezuelan Protests Leave 38 People Dead AndrĂŠ Dumez In Venezuela, there have been about two months of protesting so far and 38 people have been killed in the midst of all of it. One person was even rolled over by a tank. These people have been protesting against Maduro, the president of Venezuela. Many citizens of Venezuela call Maduro a dictator. Maduro has been silencing the press, sometimes with violence, and while Maduro has been president, inflation has risen 800 percent. The leaders of Venezuela are denying that a crisis even exists, though if anyone goes to Venezuela right now, they can clearly see that a crisis does exists. Some people are even ransacking food trucks because so many people are starving. Many people are dying of hunger.

One family was interviewed to see the average person?s life in Venezuela right now. Vanessa and Adolfo have to take turns on eating dinner so their son can have dinner every night. They have each lost a good amount of weight. Adolfo says that he wishes his son had the same childhood as him. Many people, including them, have to wait in line for hours to try and get food and sometimes when the people are at the front of the line, the food has run our already.


Vanessa is a teacher. Many of the kids in her class cannot even remember the last time that they had milk. While the food has been going away, so have the students in her class. More than a third of the countries teachers miss school because they have to stand in the lines for food. Vanessa and Adolfo had to sell their car to survive. Many families cannot afford essentials like paper towels and milk. There is no middle class in Venezuela, people are either poor or more poor. Most Venezuelans are living like Vanessa and Adolfo. The rest are struggling even more. One apple is about five percent of the average worker ?s monthly wage. There is also little or no medicine in most hospitals and no injections at all. People cannot go to streets at night because it is so dangerous. Shops are being looted and buildings are being vandalized. Police are throwing tear gas and everybody in the streets are wearing clothes around their mouths. The police have gas masks, riot shields, and guns with rubber bullets. Students are battling officers that are throwing tear gas at them. Hundreds of protesters have been bathed in the gas. Gunfire has erupted during the protests with fatal bullets too. A majority of the military, 85 officers, are now expressing discontent with the nation?s national guard. Even some of the military officers do not agree with what the government is doing to the protesters. Overall, more than 1,000 people have been arrested and more than 700 others have been wounded. Maduro has been accusing the opposition of attempting a coup. He says that he does not want a civil war. He made it so the working class and people can call a national constituent assembly. The announcement did not stop the protests though. Protests began after 13 people were killed. 9 of them were electrocuted because they tried to loot a bakery during anti-government protests. 3 others were shot and 3 of them died. The Human Rights Foundation condemned the deaths. The opposition has been asking President Maduro to step down and he is being accused of eroding democracy. On March 29, Venezuelan Supreme Court dissolved parliament and transferred all of the legislative power to itself. The court later reversed the decision but protests had already begun. Venezuela is going through a very tough time right now.


How Cuba is attacking Zika head on Lanie Talbot Zika is a major problem in the world and it is still spreading. People from different places are all becoming sick with Zika. Zika is a virus that is spread through a bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito.

Zika can cause illness

and sickness when

infected. If women are

infected while

pregnant, the fetus

may develop birth

defects. These birth

effects are, blindness,

deafness, seizures,

congenital effects and

microcephaly. The

side effects of Zika are

fever, rash, headache,

joint pain, itchy, red

eyes, muscle pain,

and more. In Uganda,

Zika was first

identified in Rhesus

monkeys in the Zika

forest in April, 1947. So far a cure has not yet been made but scientists are trying to find one. Thousands of people all over the Caribbean have been infected with Zika, but Cuba is different. Only three people inside Cuba have been reported infected with the virus, although most cases are mild and go unreported. Many people began to wonder why this is happening and ways to stop it. Cuba is being called an ?island in a sea of Zika? because unlike other countries in the Caribbean, Cuba has not been strongly infected with the virus. The entire Caribbean has experienced the widespread passing of the virus. ?The great difference between Cuba and the rest of Latin America as well as the US is that Cuba anticipated the arrival of the virus to decrease the impact,? said Carlos Espinal Tejada, a tropical disease specialist who directs the Global Health Consortium at Florida International University in Miami. Cuba created a campaign of intense mosquito spraying, monitoring and quarantine. To anticipate the arrival of the disease, cuba began to built a system that would help track and prevent diseases spread through mosquitos after 1981 outbreak of dengue fever killed 158 people. The factors in the plan to fight Zika is the importance of preparing the health system to respond quickly, detecting infection as soon as possible, and involving the public in the effort. To help prevent the spread, Cuba created a system called ?The mosquito control campaign.? Each


mosquito-control worker is responsible to go into households and check for mosquitos, larvae, and standing water that could become breeding grounds. The mosquito control campaign is not popular among Cubans and many residents say they are worried that inspectors or fumigators may steal from them. Workers complain they are underpaid, overworked, and unprotected from the toxic chemicals they spray. Most workers are from the military. If mosquitos turn up in a house they?ve previously checked, they could be disciplined, have their military service extended or be prosecuted for spreading disease. Castro announced that he would be deploying the army to spray homes and workplaces because of the failings of civilian government fumigators. If a case of a virus is diagnosed, or mosquitoes or larvae are found every home within 100 meters will be checked again. Then if a second case or infected home is identified, that radius is extended to 300 meters. Also people who travel abroad are closely tracked and will be monitored for two weeks. Even though Cuba is safe, there are thousands of cases in Puerto Rico and countries such as Brazil and

Venezuela. Many

people believe other

countries can

learn from Cuba's

intense focus on

preventing disease.

Dr. Cristian

Morales, the World

Health

Organization's

representative in

Cuba . "It has to do

with the capacity

to organize the

population.

Applying it to other

countries, other

contexts, would be

extremely

difficult." Ways

Cuba's success so

far against Zika may

simply not work

with other nations because they have a government that is different in the Western hemisphere. Since mostly everything in Cuba is controlled by a single-party state that constantly monitors citizens' activities, this method may only work for Cuba. Since Cuba has had soldiers moving to every door with sprayers and handheld foggers, having all pregnant women tested for Zika in their first trimester, having every worker that was sent overseas on a government "mission" to be quarantined and tested before returning to the island, giving fines to people who spread Zika, having extreme precaution, and becoming ready for the virus before it even reached the area, Cuba has helped keep Zika out and maintain the virus.


Colombia Makes a Peace Agreement with FARC Alex Friedlander The Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia or the FARC and the Colombian government has issued a peace agreement. The agreement has ended 52 years worth of fighting. The FARC was one of the first leftist insurgents in South America. The group was also the largest running insurgent in South America. The group was founded in 1964 by a communist party. The group was mostly made up of farmers and land workers who banded together to fight inequality in Colombia. They fight using the guerilla warfare tactic. They are lead by Rodrigo Londono Echeverri or his better known nickname, Timoshenko. The group demanded more rights over the land. The Colombian government sees the communist ideals as a threat. Most of the violence is against the Colombian security forces. The Colombian

government signed

a new peace agreement

with the FARC

October 2nd 2016. The

previous agreement

was proposed the 26nd

of September 2016.

The agreement was

supposed to easily

past, but was

surprisingly

narrowly defeated. All

but one out of the

57 of the terms on the

agreement were

changed. The new

agreement has

certain terms. Some of them are the money the FARC has will be used to pay for the rebuilding of homes and lives of the victims of the conflict. The justice system will be given ten years to prosecute the FARC. The FARC will be required to give all knowledge about drug trafficking that they were previously involved in. Even with the new terms, the public of Colombia is divided, some support the agreement while others do not trust the FARC to be honorable with the government considering they were fighting for many years. The bill is controversial among the public for many different reasons. Originally, the first bill was easily expected to pass. The result of the September 26 vote was a 50,000 vote difference out of 13 million voters. The vote was that the bill could not pass. One of the main reasons was that the public believed the deal was too rewarding for the FARC. The deal stated


that rebel fighters would be able to avoid jail time. The public saw it as ?undeserved rewards? because the rebel group killed, kidnapped, and the group had children fighting for them. Another main reason is that if someone voted no, it could mean that a different agreement could be made later, which eventually happened. Most of the votes were cast in the interior cities, places that were not directly involved in the fighting. The area of where the votes were cast means that the people who were in the areas that were attacked could not vote. The people who were attacked wanted an agreement to be made quickly so that the threat to their lives would be over. The Colombian government and people were tired of war. Over the 52 year span, 220,000 people lost their lives, including security, rebels, and citizens. Around five million people were displaced from their homes, around ten percent of the population. Throughout the longstanding war, the FARC made most of its money from cocaine selling. As part of the agreement, the cocaine money will pay for the damages against many people. Also, the reason the FARC can tell the government about the drug trafficking that they know of is because of the cocaine buying and selling over the years. Since the war is over, the country can be changed for the better. Families will be reunited, as men and even some children return home. The mines previously placed throughout the country will be removed. Most citizens will feel safer now that the war has stopped.
