Bolivian Immigrants in Argentina

GUEST: Marie Trigona, Free Speech Radio News Correspondent, Journalist and Activist with Grupo Alavio

Latino LABuenos Aires Mayor Jorge Telerman will meet with a Bolivian government delegation today to analyze the sweatshop-work conditions of most Bolivians in Argentina. Just a few weeks ago, six people were killed in a massive factory fire, four of them were children, two of which were just three years old.

    Well, they are a disgrace for Argentina imo. They have like 6 children and they came here without a penny nor education.

    So migrating, whether with document or without documents, justifies the deaths of these poor people? Shame on you Nicole Novak! Such xenophobic and racist comments should not be stricken from your thoughts. These are PEOPLE, human beings who are trying to survive in an unstable world. When Argentinians were suffering from hunger in 2001-03, didn’t many migrate both legally and illegally? should they have died b/c of that? I don’t think so.
