According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the number of tourists visiting Baja California declined by nearly 2 million last year, due both to attacks on tourists and extortions by police officers. Mexican officials are concerned that these numbers will dwindle even further amid the week of violence that just occurred in the Tijuana area. Police and military are working to create a safe zone for tourists, and the tourism secretariat has hired watchdogs to observe the area between the San Ysidro border crossing and the toll road, as well as keep an eye on the way police interact with tourists. Visitors are advised to read travel alerts and other information available from the U.S. State Department. |

In the wake of recent failures of immigration reform proposals, the Bush administration is changing its methodology of enforcement of current legislation. Changes include an increase in fines for employers who hire illegal aliens, criminal charges against those who fail to fire employees without legitimate social security numbers, and various other efforts as noted in the AP article. The changes are to be announced today in a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez. |

The newspaper El Sol de Tijuana mentioned in Monday's issue that a representative of the Democratic Revolution Party from Mexico City, Javier González Garza, visited Rosarito to seek an investigation into the lands being taken by ex-governor Alejandro González Alcocer on behalf of Moreno and Company. Ex-governor González Alcocer initiated the Corredor 2000 project, causing adjacent lands to skyrocket in value. Shortly after his tenure as governor, he began using an apparently forged document to seize these lands from the residents of Rosarito. |
