Haiti, Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S.

A couple interesting articles on immigration in recent days from the New York Times. First, from Sunday, on the Haitian immigration to Brazil and how the booming Brazilian economy results in a welcoming atmosphere...for now. Second, an article on the cross-national political ties between Mexico and the U.S., particularly in Texas. Shows why those Texan politicians, irrespective of party affiliation, seem to be more cogent on immigration than most others.
