Desplazan Trabajadores Extranjeros a Locales / Foreign Workers Displacing Local Workers In Todos Santos -
El Sudcaliforniano
25 de julio de 2009
Miguel Rubio
La Paz, Baja California Sur.- Extranjeros, principalmente de los Estados Unidos y Canadá, están desplazando a trabajadores locales de Todos Santos en las diversas labores, particularmente del ramo de la construcción, según dio a conocer a El Sudcaliforniano el señor Hilario Agúndez León, quien pide la intervención de las autoridades de Migración para terminar con esta situación.
Asimismo, ante este medio, Agúndez León expuso que es necesario que Migración revise en qué situación se encuentran los extranjeros en Todos Santos, es decir, si en calidad de turistas o si gozan de permisos para trabajar en nuestro país.
Al acudir el día de ayer a esta redacción, con el fin de dar a conocer lo anterior, Hilario Agúndez, residente de Todos Santos, municipio de La Paz, explicó que norteamericanos y canadienses desempeñan específicamente trabajos de plomería, pintura y albañilería. Incluso, algunos, dijo, se encargan de cuidar, mediante paga, propiedades de otros extranjeros cuando salen de la localidad, lo cual a los pobladores de Todos Santos no nos parece correcto, indicó.
Reitero que es necesario y conveniente que las autoridades de Migración tomen cartas en este asunto, investiguen en qué calidad se encuentran los extranjeros en Baja California Sur y si tienen permiso para trabajar aquí.
Mientras tanto, es claro que los extranjeros nos están desplazando de las oportunidades de trabajo, denunció.

The Sudcaliforniano
25 July 2009
Miguel Rubio
La Paz, Baja California Sur .- Foreigners, mainly from the United States and Canada, are displacing local workers in Todos Santos in various tasks, especially in the construction sector, as announced to The Sudcaliforniano by Mr Leon Hilario Agundez, who requested the intervention of immigration authorities to end this situation.
Also, in this regard, Mr. Agundez said that it is necessary to check the immigration status of foreigners in Todos Santos, that is, whether they are tourists or if they have permission to work in our country.
To go yesterday to the wording in order to publicize this, Mr. Agundez, a resident of Todos Santos, Municipality of La Paz, explained that North Americans and Canadians specifically perform plumbing, painting and masonry work. Also, some said, some are paid to care for the property of other foreigners when they leave town, which to the residents of Todos Santos does not seem right, he said.
He reiterated that it is necessary and appropriate that the immigration authorities take in this matter and investigate as to what foreigners in Baja California Sur have permission to work here.
"Meanwhile, it is clear that foreigners are displacing us from job opportunities," he claimed. -

Lower Signal Levels on Dish Network's Main Satellite - We've confirmed several reports of lower signal levels on Dish Network's main TV satellite at 119°. This seemed to occur at the same time that Dish Network changed their encryption format, shutting down hundreds of thousands of pirated receivers in the process. The reduced signal levels may be noticed on smaller dishes in the range of 1.0 to 1.1 meters (from 40" to 44"), such as the older RCA and DirecTV dishes. Some channels may not come in, especially during the morning hours. Instead, the receiver will display an "Acquiring Satellite Signal" message on these channels. Owners of larger dishes 1.2 meters and above may not have noticed any difference. A minimum dish size of 1.5 meters (5') is now the minimum recommended size for new installations. - Alan Thompson, alan [-at-] bajasatellite.com
