Analysis
Labor's Push For New Amnesty For Immigrants
By David Bacon
LOS ANGELES — It may be considered a radical idea, but
there is nothing new about the idea of granting amnesty to people
who cross the border without papers. The first one came in 1906
when San Francisco's earthquake and fire destroyed the records
of immigrants brought from China to work on the railroads.

Freedom Can Be A Hard Train To Ride
EDITOR'S NOTE: It's the season for conferences on youth
and adolescents — this year's topics will no doubt include
school performance and violence, and draw many worthwhile contributions.
But few will include presentations by the objects of their attention
— young people themselves. Rex (no last name) and Damian
Eckhout offer two different accounts of the joys and costs of
being free.

Contaminación en el Basurero Municipal

¿Qué puede ser más grato para un padre
o una madre inmigrante que haya llegado a este país sin
un centavo en el bolsillo, y a trabajar por un salario inferior

oficial del certificado, están acompañados de una
cuantiosa beca para continuar sus estudios universitarios en una
de las mejores universidades del país, el sentimiento es
indescriptible.

COMMENTARY
National City Imposes Marshall Law Against
its Residents!
By Terry Hanks
National City Resident
For the last five Sundays, from dusk to dawn, the National
City Police Department literally has declared `Marshall Law' upon
the residents of National City and upon whomever chooses to use
our city streets to eat, shop, and/or socialize. These actions
violate our Constitutional Rights "to move about freely without
restraint."
OPINION
Clinton's Coming Colombia Catastrophe
by James Bovard
The Senate will soon consider President Clinton's proposed
$1.6 billion package to bankroll the government of Colombia's
war against leftist guerillas. The aid windfall purports to help
staunch the flow of drugs from Colombia. But there is no reason
to expect further U.S. anti-drug aid to be any more effective
than past aid. Even worse, there is a growing danger that the
United States will be bumbling into a civil war.
Notas Politicas.....
The U.S. Senate confirmed the appointment of Jay A.
Garcia-Gregory to the position of U.S. District Judge for
Puerto Rico. Mr. Garcia-Gregory is a partner at the firm of Fiddler

Wedding on the Border
P.O.V.'s La Boda Offers Seldom Seen View of Mexican-American
Migrant Life
Elizabeth Luis is marrying Artemio Guerrero, and we are all invited
to the wedding. In Hannah Weyer' latest film, La Boda,
Elizabeth's family and community offer an intimate portrait of
migrant life and traditions as the weeks leading up to the ceremony
bring friends and family together. Stable, optimistic, hard-working,
and as American as they are Mexican, this community doesn't fit
anybody's stereotype of migrant workers.
