Report:MexicanGovernmentUses
Innova5veStrategytoHelpitsMigrants
IntegrateintheUnitedStates
Immigrant integration remains largely an afterthought in U.S. immigration
policy discussions and the country's integration policies remain
chronically underfunded and limited in scope. In the absence of coherent
policies at the federal level, the responsibility for immigrant integration
historically has fallen to families, employers, churches, non-governmental
organizations and an increasingly restive set of state and local
governments.
New partners are emerging, though. Mexico's efforts to help its migrants
succeed in the United States offer a new example of an immigrant-
sending country looking to improve its emigrants' lives and connect with
its diaspora, according to a report released today by the Migration Policy
Institute (MPI). With Mexicans accounting for one-third of all immigrants in
the United States, Mexico's initiative is of particular note.
The report, Protection Through Integration: The Mexican Government's
Efforts to Aid Migrants in the United States, details the activities of
Mexico's Institute of Mexicans Abroad (IME) in a first-ever attempt to map
the expanding range of IME programs. The MPI review makes clear that
Mexico has moved beyond traditional consular protections to deliver an
array of civic, health, education and financial services to its migrants, 96
percent of whom live in the United States. These tasks have traditionally
been carried out by migrant-receiving countries.

"The policy innovation here is that the initiatives IME is offering to
Mexican immigrants in the United States generally have been viewed as
the responsibility of the immigrant-receiving country," said the report's
author, MPI Policy Analyst Laureen Laglagaron. "While these programs
need to be further evaluated, they offer a number of potential best
practices not just for Mexico but for other immigrant-sending countries."
Mexico's consular offices and the services they provide have expanded in
response to an increase in the number of Mexican immigrants in the
United States, from 2.2 million in 1980 to 11.4 million in 2008. A shift in
Mexico's approach to its migrants has emerged alongside these
demographic trends -- one rooted in a belief that a better-integrated
immigrant benefits the individual immigrant, the sending country and the
receiving country.
"The fact of the matter is that consular offices have become increasingly
important -- if often overlooked -- integrating institutions for our most
recent migrants. After all, countries of origin and destination have shared
interests in ensuring that immigrants and their children succeed inbuilding their human capital and achieving socioeconomic mobility," said
MPI Senior Vice President Michael Fix, who co-directs MPI's National
Center on Immigrant Integration Policy.
In many cases, IME's programs fill gaps in the social welfare system and
are carried out in collaboration with U.S. school districts, hospitals,
universities, foundations and community-based organizations.
IME's activities include:
Providing low-cost distance-learning instruction to Mexican
immigrant adults that builds on the instruction they received inMexico.
Offering workshops on financial literacy that encourage the use of
formal
banking institutions to build credit histories in the United States and
qualify for home or car loans.
Establishing medical stations located within consular offices
(Ventanillas de Salud) where unauthorized immigrants and their
families can receive basic medical information.
Creating a unique model of binational civic engagement through a
migrant-elected, migrant-led council that focuses on the Mexican
government's policies on Mexicans abroad and develops

Center for American Progress
The predictable hand-wringing and back-slapping has begun. Inthe wake of Tuesday's victory by Scott Brown in theMassachusetts special election, some Democratic pundits havebemoaned and Republican talkers rejoiced the supposed
demise of President Barack Obama's policy agenda.
This misguided rush to judgment assumes that all of thepresident's policy priorities carry a 60-Democrat threshold. Notonly is that a dubious assumption for a number of issues, it isflat wrong when it comes to a comprehensive overhaul of ourimmigration system.
Immigration reform has been, is now, and always will be abipartisan issue. It engenders support from both sides of thepolitical aisle because serious lawmakers know that our brokensystem continues to get in the way of other pressing priorities,
that a practical solution is at hand, and that it is in both parties'interest to get this issue off the table.
The immigration overhaul that passed the Senate in 2006garnered 23 Republican votes, and the bill that failed in 2007had 12 Republican Senators on board. During the 2008presidential campaign, comprehensive immigration legislationwas the one issue that candidates Obama and John McCainboth agreed needed to be accomplished by the next president.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle who are concerned aboutsecuring the borders and growing our economy will continue topush for immigration reform this year. Here are seven reasonswhy:
The American public wants its leaders to quit playingpolitics and to step up and solve tough problems.Immigration reform provides a perfect opportunity todeliver.Support for comprehensive immigration reform is broad,deep, and bipartisan. Polls conducted by BenensonStrategy Group in June and December 2009 showed thattwo-thirds of voters supported comprehensiveimmigration reform, including 69 percent of Democrats,67 percent of Independents, and 62 percent of
Republicans. And these numbers jump even higher to 87

percent when the proposal is explained-support forstrengthening the border, cracking down on lawbreakingemployers, and requiring undocumented immigrants toregister, pay taxes, and earn citizenship.The American public wants realistic solutions onimmigration. More than two-third of respondents choseregistration over deportation in the Benenson StrategyGroup survey, which is completely consistent with
sustained public opinion research over the last severalyears. The survey gave respondents a choice betweendeporting undocumented immigrants because they are"taking jobs" and requiring undocumented immigrants tobecome legal taxpayers.Fixing our immigration system will promote economicgrowth and stability. Americans are focused on pullingourselves out of this economic crisis, and measures thatdistract from that objective will not succeed. Immigrationreform, however, will add a cumulative $1.5 trillion to theGDP over 10 years by lifting the wage floor for allworkers.
Voters will not support politicians who fail to deliver ontheir promises. President Obama and other congressionalleaders have vowed to tackle immigration reform thisyear. Politicians who talk a good game during thecampaign season but fail to act when in charge will getpunished at the polls by low turnout or anti-incumbentanger.Comprehensive immigration reform is backed bybusiness, labor, law enforcement, and faith communitieswho recognize its importance to keeping our communitiesproductive and safe, ensuring fairness to workers andemployers, and upholding family and community values.More than 700 organizations in almost 40 states are
mobilized and will hold their leaders accountable.Reform cannot wait. A legislative stalemate means adeteriorating status quo where unscrupulous employerswin, communities live in fear, hard working familiessuffer, and Americans taxpayers get short shrift.The political danger after Tuesday is not that the need forimmigration reform will diminish, but that politicians willbelieve the misleading punditry and cower in fear oftackling other pressing issues. While just saying "no"might be a convenient political strategy for a fewmembers of Congress, the vast majority of congressionaldistricts are made up of voters who want to see their
leaders confront tough problems with practical solutions.

PRESIDENT OBAMA OFFERS A GOODBUDGET BLUEPRINT, BUT CONGRESSMUST ACT TO MAKE INVESTMENTS
IN LATINO COMMUNITY, SAYS NCLRPresident Obama's 2011 budget calls for important job creationmeasures and economic recovery initiatives that Congressmust target toward Latino communities according to NCLR(National Council of La Raza), the largest national Latino civilrights and advocacy organization in the United States. Thebudget proposal seeks to strike a balance between achievingfiscal responsibility and supporting important and neededinvestments in housing, labor, middle class relief, and healthcare. While the budget serves as an important starting point,Congress must now follow through by making investments inareas that matter to Latinos and refining proposals tospecifically impact the hardest-hit communities to remedydamaging economic disparities and spur a strong economicrecovery.
"NCLR applauds the Obama administration for prioritizing theneeds of vulnerable and middle-class families," said NCLRPresident and CEO Janet Murgua. "The budget plan focusesmuch-needed attention on jobs and recovery, which is on theminds of many Latino families. Now it's up to Congress toensure that these measures reach Latinos and communitiesthat were hit hard by the recession."
NCLR urges Congress to approve the following measures:
$88 million for housing counseling and $113 million forforeclosure counseling to help the 2.3 million Black andLatino families estimated to lose their homes toforeclosure in 2009-2012$250 million to support affordable lending in low-incomecommunities through targeted support to CommunityDevelopment Financial Institutions that will open upcrucial lines of credit to small businesses and nonprofitsstruggling in this recession-the largest employers inLatino communities

NCLR also urges Congress to do more to invest in Latinos in thefollowing areas:
NCLR is disappointed in the proposed $10 million cut tofair housing programs at a time when predatory lendingand scams are rampant among communities of color.The administration has developed an education budget
proposal that is closely aligned with their goals forreauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary EducationAct (ESEA). However, the success of this proposal greatlydepends on the ability of Congress to move quickly toreauthorize ESEA with the necessary improvements tosecure the success of Latino and English language learner(ELL) children. Lawmakers must implement targetedmeasures to address the needs of young children in lightof the proposed budget cuts that eliminated the EvenStart Program and Parent Centers. Until Congress andthe administration work together to clearly define howspecific programs will meet the needs of Latino and ELLchildren, the budget will only be an empty promise for
