Drug war: Laser, investors' visas allow many to live, work in El Paso
EL PASO -- They are not your typical undocumented immigrants.
Thousands of middle-class Mexican citizens, under the guise of being commuters or visitors, may be manipulating the U.S. immigration system to escape the violence of Juárez.
More than 4,600 murders occurred in Juárez in 2008 and 2009, and the fallout is apparent in the city's decay. More than 110,000 houses have been abandoned, 75,000 people have lost their jobs and more than 10,000 businesses have closed.
Now a white-collar segment of Juárez's population may be streaming to El Paso by misusing tourist visas, then renting houses or apartments or even opening businesses.
Living in the United States may be illegal for these immigrants who flee the epicenter of Mexico's drug war by moving right across the border to one of the safest cities in the country.
El Paso had 12 murders last year compared to 2,643 in Juárez. New York City, with eight times the population of Juárez, had 466 homicides in 2009.

Out of the barrio: Chicano exhibit debuts
EL PASO -- Cemelli De-Aztlan cannot help thinking of herself as a beneficiary of the 1970s Chicano movement.
De-Aztlan, 29, recently earned a master's degree in divinity from Harvard University.
"I wouldn't have been able to do that without the Chicano movement happening," De-Aztlan said, referring to Hispanic civil-rights struggles in El Paso that led to improvements in education, housing, health and other areas.
De-Aztlan was among El Pasoans recently visiting "Chicano Power: Legacy of the Chicano Movement in El Paso," a new multimedia exhibition running through August at Museo Mayachén inside Mercado Mayapán, 2101 Myrtle.
"I cried when I first walked in," De-Aztlan said. "You see so many familiar faces, and they're still doing the good work they promised to do 30 years ago.

City Council: Border crossing delays damage El Paso's economy
EL PASO -- Those torturous lines at international bridges are bad for business.
They keep pedestrians, cars and commercial trucks waiting up to 90 minutes to cross into El Paso, and that can hurt the economy, City Council members say.
In a meeting last week, members of the council's transportation committee said long waits at international ports of entry are among the most critical problems affecting El Paso. They said steps should be taken to get people, cars and products through more efficiently.
"People talk about Fort Bliss and the Medical Center of the Americas as economic catalysts for our region, and they certainly are," said city Rep. Beto O'Rourke, committee chairman. "But Mexico has been and will continue to be the biggest factor in the economy of El Paso."
Measuring waiting times at the international bridges is a complicated and inexact science.

Unidos por la misma causa
El programa Fortaleciendo Familias es más sólido con la unión de clubes rotarios de Salinas. Con la contribución de los clubes rotarios, Fortaleciendo Familias ha crecido y ha podido cumplir con su objetivo principal de brindar apoyo a la comunidad para mejorar las relaciones intrafamiliares para evitar que sus hijos se involucren en las pandillas.
“Nuestra visión es que todas las familias tengan las herramientas necesarias para fortalecer su familia y que puedan salir adelante en la comunidad”, dijo Jackie Cruz, voluntaria del programa Fortaleciendo Familias. Esto se ha podido realizar, ya que la coalición de los rotarios logró desarrollar un plan administrativo, adquirió tecnología nueva, 30 mil dólares para la contratación de personal para el crecimiento del programa y se logró asistir con nuevos socios para mejorar su sustento.
