“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Venezuela — At night and in the early morning, they wade across the thigh-deep river in Colombia, with televisions, refrigerators and other household possessions on their backs. By day, watched by gun-toting soldiers, they line up to cross what was once a busy international bridge now under military lockdown, dragging roller suitcases while their children shoulder school backpacks.
Hundreds of Colombians are fleeing across the border, running from a crackdown on immigrants initiated by Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
“It’s heartbreaking,” said Handerles Suárez, 25, a construction worker, as he waited with his wife and baby daughter at dusk to cross the Simón Bólivar Bridge to his native Colombia. He said he had lived in Venezuela for 10 years, but now, seeing his countrymen rounded up and deported, their houses marked for demolition by the government, he decided to leave voluntarily rather than risk the uncertainty of a forced departure.
At the same time, soldiers in this Venezuelan border town began house-to-house searches in a sprawling slum, checking identity papers and rounding up hundreds of Colombian citizens, many of whom had lived in Venezuela for years. They were made to sit in a dusty soccer field under the baking sun for hours before being sent to the bridge and kicked out of the country. Officials said that more than 1,000 people were deported.
In closing the border, Mr. Maduro said he was responding to an episode in which three Venezuelan soldiers were shot and wounded. The details remain hazy, but Mr. Maduro said it was an attack by a Colombian paramilitary group obeying the orders of a former Colombian president, Álvaro Uribe, whom he has frequently described as an enemy bent on overthrowing his leftist government.
Mr. Maduro said the border shutdown would last indefinitely, and that he planned to expand the state of emergency to other areas of the country.
But to analysts and those caught in the crackdown, the state of emergency was inextricably tied to the economic and political crisis gripping Venezuela, with politicians looking for someone to blame.
Mr. Maduro says the Colombian immigrants include smugglers who spirit much-needed goods out of his country, worsening chronic shortages; black marketeers who drive up prices for products in Venezuela, where inflation is soaring; and right-wing paramilitary groups that Mr. Maduro accuses of seeking to attack his government, under orders of his enemies at home and abroad.
For now, the focus of Mr. Maduro and the hundreds of soldiers he dispatched has been on a large slum that hugs the Táchira River separating the two countries, an area he says is a nest of paramilitary groups, brothels, criminals and smugglers. During a televised news conference this week, he vowed to raze the slum.
“We’re going to knock down all the houses there, just so you know,” Mr. Maduro said. “Not a single house will remain.”
The warnings set off despair and anger here in the neighborhood, where a backhoe has already started knocking down houses. Many people said they were hard-working Venezuelan citizens or Colombians with legal residency, and they asked why their homes were slated to be torn down.
“I don’t see the justification at all,” said Jairo Gómez, 55, a Venezuelan who has a small business selling empanadas. He built a house here 13 years ago and now fears he will lose it.
In an area of the slum, named after the Argentine revolutionary hero Che Guevara, a backhoe was brought in this week and began knocking down the cinder block houses.
On Wednesday night, some families were busy dismantling their own homes to salvage the construction materials so they could be sold or used again later.
“You just want to lie down and never wake up,” said Tatiana Cerna, 33, a Colombian who said she lived here legally with her Venezuelan husband and child. A few yards from other houses that had already been demolished, the family was working with hand tools under the moonlight to take apart their home, brick by brick and beam by beam.
“This is the kind of family that lives here,” said Ms. Cerna, a seamstress whose husband is a taxi driver. “If they want to stop the smuggling, I think the national guard itself is involved. To come and knock all this down is not the solution.”
Mr. Maduro’s popularity is extremely low because of the country’s economic struggles, and the country is approaching a crucial legislative election in December that could enable the opposition to win a majority for the first time in years.
While closing the border and evicting immigrants may stir some nationalist sentiment, it could backfire in a country where many naturalized Venezuelans vote and many other voters have Colombian relatives.
“We were Chavistas, but never again,” said Wilson Velazco, 32, Ms. Cerna’s brother-in-law, covered in dust from the demolition and using the Spanish term for the followers of Mr. Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chávez.
“Maduro is a clown, not to use a more offensive word,” he said. “If Chávez were alive, he never would have permitted this.”
The actions here have also brought strong condemnation from Colombian officials. On Tuesday, President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia condemned what he called the mistreatment of deported Colombians.
“Raiding houses, removing the inhabitants by force, separating families, not allowing them to take with them their few belongings and marking the houses in order to demolish them later on, these are totally unacceptable actions that recall bitter episodes of humanity that must not be repeated,” Mr. Santos said.
Each country has long pointed to the other in times of internal tension. Relations reached a low point when the conservative Mr. Uribe and the leftist Mr. Chávez were presidents and engaged in a heated ideological struggle.
NEW ORLEANS — President Obama came to this once-stricken city on Thursday to make a case for his entire presidency: that when disaster strikes, the federal government should help not only to rescue the stranded but also to rebuild better and fairer than before.
“The project of rebuilding here wasn’t just to restore the city as it had been,” Mr. Obama said to several hundred people at a new community center in the once-devastated Lower Ninth Ward. “It was to build a city as it should be — a city where everyone, no matter what they look like, how much money they’ve got, where they come from, where they’re born, has a chance to make it.”
The president explicitly linked New Orleans’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina, which struck 10 years ago this month, to the nation’s recovery from the 2008 recession.
Along with his efforts to change the nation’s health care market, the twin recoveries fit Mr. Obama’s vision of a government that tackles tough problems with bold moves and big investments. To fix the economy early in his presidency, he pushed for an $832 billion stimulus package and a partial takeover of the banking and auto industries. To fix health care, he backed a 1,990-page bill that transformed the business of selling health insurance. And to fix New Orleans, he oversaw a huge, coordinated federal response that invested $71 billion in levees, hospitals and schools.
१० भदौ, काठमाडौं – एमाओवादीका वरिष्ठ नेता डा. बाबुराम भट्टराईले नयाँ संविधान निर्माणमा राजतन्त्रवादी शक्तिले दुःखमनाउ गर्न आवश्यक नभएको बताएका छन् । राजतन्त्रवादी शक्तिले टेक्ने ठाउँ दिइएको भन्दै उनले भने-‘३०-वर्षे निरंकुश पञ्चायतको कालरात्री थियो, त्यसलाई उहाँहरुले पटक-पटक त्यो कालरात्रीतिर र्फकनु हुँदैन भनेर हामीलाई सम्झाइराख्नुभएको छ त्यसको निम्ति हामीले उहाँहरुलाई धन्यवाद दिनुपर्छ । त्यो नै उहाँहरुको भूमिका हो, त्यो नै उहाँहरुको टेक्ने खुट्टा हो ।’ सविधानको विधेयकमाथिको छलफलमा भाग लिँदै भट्टराईले उदार लोकतन्त्रवादी पूँजीवादी शक्ति र अग्रगामी समाजवादी क्रान्तिकारी कम्युनिष्ट शक्तिबीच खिचातानी हुनु स्वभाविक भएको बताए । ‘नयाँ ढंगले पुनःसंरचना गर्दैछौं भने मेरो क्षेत्र, मेरो जिल्ला के भयो, यो टुक्रियो यो टुक्रिएन भन्ने ढंगको बहस अहिले नगरौं’ भट्टराईले भने-‘मिल्यो कि मिलेन भन्ने मिलाउन भोलि संघीय आयोग बन्दैछ, संघीय आयोगले सीमाना मिलाउँदैछ ।’ तर, संघीयताको विषयमा विषयान्तर हुने ढंगले बढी बहस/छलफल नगर्न भट्टराईले आग्रह समेत गरेका छन् ।
