Mexico: How 9/11 Reshaped U.S.-Mexico Relations

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
PROGRAM #11266 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition.

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, political analysts examine the impact those events had on U.S.-Mexico relations. Before 9/11, immigration reform appeared to be within reach. After the attacks, immigration became a matter of national security, and talks of integration and free trade gave way to the narrative of a “global war on terror.” This and other news are analysed in this week’s edition.

Guests: Maria Cristina Rosas, Professor and Researcher, Department of Political and Social Sciences, National Autonomous University of Mexico-UNAM, Mexico City, MX; Samuel Orozco, News and Information Director, Radio Bilingüe, Fresno, CA; excerpts from recent statements by Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and by Mexico’s Ministry of National Defense, Ricardo Trevilla Trejo.
