Intended or not, the autonomy and free movement of indigenous peoples has been greatly compromised since the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on January 1, 1994 and further restricted following the terrorists attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001.

It examines its development based on its own format changes and the current global context of media ownership. Research findings suggest that small, community-based media outlets are still viable alternatives to provide a voice for traditionally disenfranchised segments of the population, particularly the Latino population. In an era of media conglomerates, KBBF serves as a vehicle to promote social justice and adds to the diversity of voices that would not otherwise be heard through the mainstream media in local communities. The research uses primary and secondary bibliographical and field interviews sources for analysis.

The recent onslaught of thousands unattended children from Guatemala, Salvador, and Honduras has further fueled the political debate again drawing attention to the United State’s double-standard, one for Cubans versus others from Latin America. Using President Obama’s recent amnesty for Mexican children and youth, many families, and coyotes (human traffickers) saw this as an opportunity to escape the poverty and violence in their countries. The authors assess the role of previous US policies that may have contributed to the violence, poverty and social disruption in these countries within the U.S. relevant to the protest against these children and youth entering the country.
