Francisco Romero has been a significant part of the generational change we have seen in Spanish radio sports broadcasting. Growing up in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, and speaking very little English, he never envisioned that his life's journey would take him from our neighboring country to now calling play-by-play for the Houston Astros. His ascent in the sports media industry has been deliberate as he has worked for six Major League Baseball teams and has broadcasted for other sports franchises. Romero and his broadcast partner, Alex Treviño, are one of the longest tenured broadcast duos in Major League Baseball. Along the way he befriended a personal hero, the late Fernando Valenzuela.
Come listen along to Francisco's story!

Immigration Ain't Easy Ep. 30: Multidisciplinary Artist Safwat Saleem 1:06:52

Send us a text Safwat Saleem joins me in this episode to talk about his journey from Pakistan to the United States and how immigrant themes are prevalent in his artwork. Safwat is a multidisciplinary artist with a key focus on cultural loss resulting from assimilation. As described on his website, "Safwat’s body of work weaves together themes of preservation, desire to belong, resistance and joy as an immigrant father raising a multiracial child in the American Southwest." Safwat, now a Pakistani-American, talks about his arrival in the U.S. as an F-1 student visa holder attending college in Mississippi and the cultural differences that came with living there as a practicing Muslim. He speaks of his motivations to become an artist and how he uses satire as a tool to challenge perceptions. Safwat art is multidimensional as he uses graphic design, illustration and writing to film and sound. Safwat believes in using his art for social impact and has collaborated with non-profit and change-making organizations like Fine Acts, 18 Million Rising, RUN AAPI, SAADA and TED. Safwat is a pizza connoisseur and that makes him a-OK in my book!…

Send us a text Ira Kurzban's last name has become synonymous with the field of immigration law. He published the first edition of the Kurzban's Immigration Law Sourcebook in 1990 and it quickly became one of the most respected treatises on U.S. immigration law. Nineteen editions later, the book is universally used by private immigration lawyers, government lawyers, judges, policy makers and countless immigration advocates as one of the primary sources of U.S. immigration law and policy. Mr. Kurzban is much more than just a book, however, and in this podcast we discuss the incredible civil rights litigation he has engaged in. Most notably, his work on behalf of Haitian citizens. He has received countless awards and recognition for his work on behalf of immigrants and the legal community. Mr. Kurzban is also one of the founders of Immigrants’ List, the first pro-immigrant bipartisan political action committee in the United States.…

Send us a text THIS IS PART 2 OF A 2-PART AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL EPISODE In this final part of our discussion, we delve more into the loving bond between Alejandra and Jesus and how her deportation case made it even stronger. Life is complicated. One thing that we know is nobody's perfect (besides Donald Trump). Alejandra Pablos learned the hard way after being detained for two years at the Eloy Detention Center and she's hoping for a second chance. While Ale was born on side of the border and her brother, Jesus Magaña was born on the other side. Jesus, a U.S. citizen. Ale, who lived in the U.S. for nearly her entire life, finally realized she was not a U.S. citizen in her teens. She eventually became a permanent resident but after a difficult time that resulted in convictions for DUI and drug possession, Ale found herself in deportation proceedings in 2011. Ale has become an important voice in immigrant and women's reproductive health rights. Jesus, a veteran of the Air Force, is now a licensed social worker who helps immigrants by evaluating their mental health. While Jesus and Ale have many differences and their pasts are remarkably distinct, they have one strong commonality: Saving Ale from deportation. The two talk with me about their childhoods, the bond that has strengthened as they've grown and their fight to keep Ale in the United States. Dr. Goldman's notes: Only Jesus cried...…

Mark summarizes his desire to help others: "My dedication to justice, human rights and family unity shape my work. I am extremely fortunate to meet so many extraordinary people and to help them to achieve their dreams of living in the US. At my core I do not believe that borders should separate families, keep people from safety or prevent people from working where they want and employers from hiring the workers they want or need. That is what drives me to fight for my clients."…

Send us a text Ehadj (El) Ndoye embodies the phrase "giving back". He immigrated from Senegal as a student and found a permanent home and community in Tucson, Arizona. However, El never forgot his roots and in 2010 he founded "The Forgotten Children", a non-profit geared towards helping the street children ( talibè) in Senegal by achieving goals of self-sufficiency. What began as a means of providing clothes and other necessities to the orphaned, impoverished and homeless children in M'bour Senegal, West Africa, became a larger mission. Behind El's leadership, they established a boarding school that would provide safe housing, nourishment and education for these children in dire need. El published his memoir, Dream On, Seydou: A Memoir Of A Senegalese Immigrant, where you can learn about his life story, the motivation behind his non-profit organization and how they took a desolate plot of land and turned it into a place of education and safety for some of the most vulnerable in our world. His story serves as an inspiration for all and he has now helped many Senegalese orphans get an education and a chance at opportunity and success.…

Send us a text Andrew Fels and Natalie Cadwalader-Schultheis are human rights attorneys who bring a voice to the voiceless. Through litigation and research they are exposing the U.S. government's violations of international law and unlawful use of inhumane policies that force migrants into situations where they disappear and/or die. Natalie and Andrew join me to discuss how this occurs under the current enforcement construct and how the U.S. Border Patrol and ICE are complicit in these acts. In one study conducted by Natalie and Diego F. Leal they collected and analyzed data from 117 respondents and found that 73 percent who were in BP custody experienced an enforced disappearance as they were unable to make phone calls and were offered no reliable publicly accessible locator system to be located by. Both lawyers are exposing these human rights violations and, in turn, hope to push for more transparency by the U.S. government. Their efforts could save lives and prevent these agencies from functioning as a secret police.…

No ability to visit them and return to the U.S. Samantha “Sam” Ramirez-Herrera lived this and finally got the opportunity to visit her native land and family thanks to a special travel permit called "advance parole". As a filmmaker, the DACA recipient and immigration rights advocate documented the trip to Mexico in a beautiful film called "El Regreso". The film is described: "Against the vibrant visual backdrop of Mexico's Day Of The Dead, "El Regreso" explores rebirth through the lens of one dreamer's awakening." In our interview, Sam provides a candid look into her evolution from being an undocumented child to having DACA and becoming a filmmaker/entrepreneur who has created over a hundred jobs in the process. Sam will not be deterred by the haters in our society and provides a refreshing perspective on life as an immigrant with no current path to citizenship.…
