BORDER WALLS AND MIGRANT HEALTH: LIVE FROM GUADALAJARA. The U.S. is planning to fortify the U.S./Mexico border with new walls and increased patrols, leaving the promise of reform and legalization in limbo. Federal raids and local roadblocks, local ordinances against migrant neighbors, and requirements to report the undocumented to federal authorities have created an atmosphere of fear in the barrio. How will the health care system ensure basic health care services and medications to a population living deeper in the shadows? This special, live coverage of the opening event of Bi-national Health Week in Guadalajara is in collaboration with the seven-station network of Radio Universidad de Guadalajara and Radio Capital in Guadalajara. Alberto Osorio co-hosts this program.

Guests:

Cándido Morales, executive director, Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior, Mexico City; Salvador García, outgoing chair, Federation of Jaliscan Hometown Associations, Los Angeles; Gov. Francisco Ramírez Acuña, State of Jalisco; Alejandro Almaguer, director, Traditional Medicine and Intercultural Development, Secretaría de Salud de México.
