Podcast appearances and mentions of Alfredo Corchado

To say that the United States and Mexico have a complicated relationship is to put it lightly. We're talking over 200 years of, well, a lot. And today more than ever it's hard to keep up with how much is constantly happening between the two. So for this episode we'll bring OG border and immigration reporters Alfredo Corchado and Angela Kocherga to not only help us understand what's going on, but to look back at recent history and provide much needed context. How will the relationship change now that there's an unpredictable macho man in the White House and a cool-headed woman leading Mexico?Follow us on TikTok and YouTube. Subscribe to our newsletter by going to the top of our homepage.

In the second episode of Threshold Conversations, Amy talks with award-winning journalist Alfredo Corchado. As Mexico Border correspondent for the Dallas Morning News, Alfredo is one of the nation’s leading reporters covering the complicated issues playing out at the U.S./Mexico border.   We all depend on the food we eat, and on the people who raise, grow, and harvest that food for us. In the United States, a huge number of the people who do that work are undocumented immigrants. Today, Alfredo discusses what coronavirus means for this vulnerable and important population and his own experience growing up and working in the fields of California’s Central Valley. He also discusses the intersection of climate, immigration, and food security.   Threshold Conversations is supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists, as well as the Park Foundation, the High Stakes Foundation, and our home public radio station, Montana Public Radio. Learn more about Threshold on our website.

Thank you for tuning into Latino Politics and News Tuesday, May 26, 2020. I'm Tony Diaz. Today, you will find out about our Pablo Neruda Challenge. And, can you guess which city has more Latino city council members? Houston or Dallas? Houston does have a slightly higher percentage of Latino population. You will get all these answers and more on today's episode. We will pose our #PabloNerudaChallegen to congressional candidates for battleground TX district 22. At the top of the program today, Sri Kulkarni, Democratic Candidate for the post, joins us. You will find out if he accepts or declines this opportunity to celebrate, in Spanish, one of the greatest poets to ever live. Will his Republican opponents accept? Or maybe, they don't like Pablo Neruda? Of course, the race for Texas's 22nd Congressional seat has made national news as a major battleground seat. We will find out how Sri Kulkarni plans to engage Latinos. On the second half of the show, Dallas City Councilman Omar Narvaez joins us. So now you know Dallas is at the very least tied with Houston for the number of Latino City Council representatives since Houston has only one. Does Dallas have even more? Stay tuned; we'll also talk to Omar about a potent letter he wrote to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who interceded on behalf of an Anglo nail salon owner for breaking stay at home orders. However, Paxton has not intervened for Latina salon owners jailed in Laredo. News: Kudos to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo for spearheading increased COVID19 relief for Harris County residents. The commissioners' court voted along party lines to pass the policy. Three Democrats supported it. The two sitting Republicans opposed it. This plan will also include helping undocumented families. This should remind you of our past broadcast where journalist Alfredo Corchado shared insights about his essay "A Former Farmworker on American Hypocrisy", which appeared in the New York Times. He writes that it is wrong to exploit the labor of the undocumented and call them "essential workers" in national policies because their back-breaking work is vital to maintaining our food supply chain, and then scapegoat immigrants for everything that is going wrong in the nation, and deprive them of essential relief to be able to survive so that they can keep working their essential jobs. Local policies such as that passed by Harris County commissioners court are vital to undo the hypocritical policies at the national level. In other national news: Joe Biden has begun to court the Latino vote more aggressively. He has hired the granddaughter of Cesar Chavez, Julie Chavez Rodriguez as an adviser on his campaign. This is a good step, but as we discussed on our preimere program, a truly profound engagement would consist of a Latino Vice presidential pick, announcing which Latino cabinet members he would support, as well as more Latino surrogates to represent him ASAP. Our mission is for every candidate to consider our community's concerns for every issue on their platform. Our broadcasts sheds light on the many facets of the Latino experience.

Thanks to our crew: Leti Lopez Rodrigo Bravo, who mixed the show remotely Claudia Soler Alfonso, MD. Jesse Aranda Comer Laurie Flores Stefano Cavezza Al Castillo I'm happy to join you every Tuesday from 2 pm to 3 pm for Latino Politics and News, here on 90.1 FM KPFT. That's followed by Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say at 6 pm. And I also get to see you on the political talk show What's Your Point on Fox 26 Houston, Sundays at 7 am. This is Tony Diaz with Latino Politics and News.

Alfredo Corchado discusses “A Former Farmworker on American Hypocrisy”. The Down Ballot: Penny Shaw, candidate for TX State Rep. District 148. “It’s time to offer all essential workers a path to legalization.” That is a quote from an essay by Alfredo Corchado. That quote, his work, and today’s episode represent our mission. We are bringing you a Latino perspective on politics and news on a national level and a local level. At the top of today’s show, we will talk to award-winning journalist and author Alfredo Corchado. He will discuss and read from his potent essay “A Former Farmworker on American Hypocrisy” appeared in the New York Times. We have spoken to Alfredo in the past on our sister show Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say. However, his work, especially this essay, is literature, is politics, is news. That is the fate of the Latino artists and writers. We do not have the luxury of being only writers, or only artists who can simply create art for art’s sake. Our community’s well being is on the line. And our fate is also the fate of the entire nation. The figures we focus on do not find this to be a limitation. They are empowered by the challenges of our time, and they strive to empower. That means, Nuestra Palabra create this second radio show to more directly lean into the political aspect of our work, while never striving too far from and always edifying our community’s cultural capital. With that said, the second half of our show is all about the down ballot. We speak with Penny Shaw, a Latina, in the democrat primary for Texas House Set 148. She has a run-off July 14, early voting starts July 6. The general election is in November. Also, our pledge drive begins next week.

Cuando Alfredo Corchado se traslada a Filadelfia en 1987 como corresponsal de The Wall Street Journal, se sintió como si fuera el único mexicano en la ciudad. Pero en el restaurant Tequilas conecta con otros dos mexicanos y un mexicoamericano que se sentían tan aislados como él y comienzan una conversación sobre qué significa ser mexicano y estadounidense al mismo tiempo y que duraría más de 30 años. La perspectiva de estos cuatro amigos –David Suro, dueño del restaurante; Primo, académico y activista social, Ken Trujillo, criado en Nuevo México y con una carrera política por delante y el propio autor, será el marco en el que se cuenta esta historia. Aunque desde Estados Unidos piensan en México y su cultura como su patria original, todos acaban descubriendo que su patria es una mezcla de ambos países. Patrias fusiona lo político y lo personal para también narrar la historia de la última gran migración mexicana a través de los ojos de cuatro amigos desde que la población mexicana en los Estados Unidos era de 700,000 personas durante los años setenta hasta los más de 35 millones de personas en la actualidad. Aparte de proporcionar un importante contexto histórico para el actual debate sobre inmigración, Patrias es una meditación personal y oportuna sobre lo que significa ser un “migrante” en Estados Unidos.

Corchado vive en Ciudad de México, pero considera que su casa es la frontera.

The dialogues and topics surrounding the U.S./Mexico border are extraordinarily complex; discussion subjects are inherently tied to both countries’ economies, budgets, national security, and the civil and human liberties of their citizens. In honor of Margarita Cabrera’s exhibition "It is Impossible to Cover the Sun with a Finger," Dallas Contemporary and the SMU Mission Foods Texas/Mexico Center hosted a panel discussion on these key issues moderated by Luisa del Rosal, the Executive Director of the SMU Mission Foods Texas/Mexico Center. Panelists included Alfredo Corchado of the Dallas Morning News and Neil Foley of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies.

Alfredo Corchado, periodista y experto en migración, habló con Carmen Aristegui sobre su libro 'Patrias: Cuatro amigos, dos países y la gran migración mexicana'. El libro aborda la migración de mexicanos a EE.UU. Corchado le dijo a Aristegui que su libro es un tributo al migrante mexicano que sacrifica mucho por ir a EE.UU. "Es un tributo al migrante mexicano, el mexicano que sacrificó tanto por ir a Estados Unidos y contribuye a su nuevo país sin dejar su amor por México". Aristegui también entrevistó al migrante David Suro, quien es uno de los personajes de 'Patrias', y que cuenta sus experiencias viviendo en EE.UU en los años 80.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad

El presidente Donald Trump ha radicalizado su retórica en inmigración y la seguridad fronteriza, convirtiéndolos en los temas dominantes del momento y asegurándose de que sean los que definan el debate político en la campaña de las elecciones del 2020. En una conferencia realizada esta semana en Chicago sobre la cobertura que viene sobre las futuras presidenciales, se analizó cómo los periodistas deberían navegar el tema que, siendo muy importante, está plagado de aspectos propagandísticos que terminan deformando lo que realmente sucede. Hablamos con Alfredo Corchado, corresponsal del Dallas Morning News en El Paso, alguien que, desde la frontera, está una posición ideal para reconocer lo sustancial en un debate con el que el presidente quiere repetir el éxito que tuvo en 2016 en la movilización de su base electoral y le ayudó en buena medida a llegar a la Casa Blanca.

Alfredo Corchado has been reporting on all things ‘the border' for many years.  Much included in his reporting has changed just since Donald Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower and gave his take on the border situation and disparaged an entire culture.  Mr. Corchado joins us to correct the stereotypes that many Americans … Continue reading EP183 THE FUTURE FOR MEXICAN-AMERICANS IN AN AMERICA GROWING MORE INTOLERANT

We hear over and over, that we are a nation of immigrants. Unfortunately, we’re hearing it in a boiler factory. We are hearing it over the cacophony of noise about race, about change and about security and raw politics. What’s lost is the reality of the very personal immigrant experience. What it’s like to be a stranger in a strange land. To straddle two nations, appreciate both, and not look at nationalism and culture as a zero sum game. The immigrant experience demands a degree of self awareness that is not present in most Americans. That by itself changes that way that immigrants see themselves and the world around them. It creates a kind of heightened reality, appreciation and skepticism that most of us don't have the privilege of seeing. That’s why we need people like award winning journalist Alfredo Corchado, who’s recent book is Homelands: Four Friends, Two Countries, and the Fate of the Great Mexican-American Migration. My conversation with Alfredo Corchado: 

Mexico is the subject of the 88th episode and I can think of no one I would rather talk to than Alfredo Corchado. He is the border correspondent for The Dallas Morning News, splitting time between El Paso and Mexico City. He is the author of the fantastic book, “Midnight in Mexico,” and his new memoir, “Homelands” is just out.  In this conversation, we discuss why he wrote the book, how the guest worker program has been vital to the U.S. and Mexico over decades, where the current Mexican presidential election stands, what Lopez Oprador’s expected victory will mean for the U.S.-Mexico relationship, what life is like in Mexico today, how the trade issue is being negotiated, how Trump is viewed in the country and how the border wall issue plays.

The Roy Green Show Podcast Joe Warmington returns to the show to talk about the nuances of freedom of expression, Member of European Parliament Gerard Batten discusses the arrest of Tommy Robinson, and Journalist Alfredo Corchado  shares stories from his time reporting on Mexican drug cartels. - Is freedom of expression increasingly limited? A few weeks ago, Roy and Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington brought up the topic while discussing the conduct of some members of Ontario's NDP. Now Joe and Roy pick up the topic again, to dig deeper into the ideas of freedom of expression, political correctness and double-standards.

Alfredo Corchado, author and journalist at the Dallas Morning News, talks with David Axelrod about the two chance encounters that inspired him to pursue a career in journalism, the dangers he and others have experienced while reporting on the Mexican drug cartels, and how corruption and crime in Mexico may propel a populist presidential candidate to victory in next year's election.

We discuss how Mexico could respond in a trade war with the Donald Trump administration, and award-winning Mexican-American journalist and author Alfredo Corchado tells us he sees his reporting as a bridge between the communities on both sides of the border.

In this episode, we’ll hear the inspiring story of a journalist and published author, Alfredo Corchado. Born in Mexico, Alfredo migrated with his family to the United States when he was still a child. They settled in the San Joaquin Valley, California.

Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter's Journey Through a Country's Descent into Darkness

"I keep using the phrase 'hope and dread'...."

As is the case with most of our political debates in this country, we never seem to understand context. As immigration reform is once again front and center, the debate about immigration, particularly from Mexico, should be about more than just numbers and citizenship. We are in fact dealing with a nation going through transition. And while it has been widely reported that Mexico is changing, that it is sprouting greater economic prosperity, greater democracy and less violence, it’s blood soaked tide is still very powerful and still pulls many into to it’s wake One of those has Alfredo Corchado. Carchado is the Mexico bureau chief for the Dallas Morning News, and his new book is Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter's Journey Through a Country's Descent into Darkness. My conversation with Alfredo Cochado:

Many stories from Mexico -- from the high poverty rate to the flourishing economy to the booming cultural scene -- don't get much media attention because drug trafficking and related violence take up so much of reporters' energy. Mexico City-based news producer Susana Seijas, Belo TV border bureau chief Angela Kocherga, Dallas Morning News Mexico City bureau chief Alfredo Corchado, Los Angeles Times arts and culture reporter Reed Johnson and Imagen News host Ana Maria Salazar discuss the challenges of portraying the real Mexico.

Guests: Alfredo Corchado and Angela Kocherga. They cover the US-Mexico border for The Dallas Morning News and Belo TV stations in Texas.
