Migration will increase at end of economic crisis
The world’s economic recovery ought to generate enough jobs to bring about a new increase in emigration toward developed countries next year, according to a recent release by the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD.) According to the OECD, the flow of emigrants fell approximately 6%, down to 4 million persons, in 2008, and it continued downward in 2009, ending a five year period of increase.

Michoacán residents keep emigrating to the United States
Zayra Mandujano Fernandez, head of the state of Michoacán Dep’t. of Migrants, said that some 30,000 residents of that state emigrate to the United States every year despite that country’s measures to increase border security to halt the passage of undocumented persons. She added that the phenomenon of migration will not diminish during the next twenty years due to the economic blows that Mexico has suffered.

A most grisly find
In an industrial suburb of Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon, (a satellite city of Monterrey) police found vestiges of decomposed human remains inside eight 55-gallon barrels. Eight shallow graves were also located in the area, and five of them yielded burnt pieces of human remains. Officials assume that the victims were first placed in the acid filled barrels. If portions remained, they were then burned and later they were placed in the graves. A couple of stolen vehicles and some firearms were also found at the same place.

And four more…
The bodies of four men were found at dawn today (Thurs.) on a street in San Pedro Garza, another suburb of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. All four had their hands bound and each had been finished off with a coup de grace.

“Ten million Mexicans are ‘invisible’ “
At least some 10 million Mexicans, around 11% of the country’s population, lack a birth certificate, and thus also lack access to education and social programs, according to a private foundation named “Be Foundation Derecho a la Identidad.” (sic) The report states that half the residents of the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Hidalgo & Puebla lack these documents. Arturo Zamora, a Mexican congressman of the PRI Party, stated that “poverty, ignorance and internal migration are the principal causes, since this phenomenon is found more often in indigenous areas and in cordons of misery.”
