To stanch the flow of undocumented refugees to the U.S.,
President Obama, who some now refer to as the
Deporter-In-Chief’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been preparing a
national operation to deport Central American families, many of whom have
been showing up at the southwest border, driven to leave El Salvador
and Honduras which is gripped by terrifying violence, in a region that
has also been plagued by a devastating drought. Starting this month, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a DHS unit, plans to start rounding up
hundreds of families that entered the U.S. without documents and deport
them. Building Bridges speaks with Oscar Chacon, Executive Director of
Alianza Americas, an immigrant from El Salvador, Chacon is a frequent
lecturer on Latino immigrant issues in the U.S. and the impacts of the Latino
diaspora in Latin America and decries this betrayal of the U.S.’s touted
principles of human rights
