David Morris presents photos of Haiti and discusses recent events concerning relations between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. UN investigators have confirmed Dominican racism and xenophobia toward Haitians, who, as migrants working in virtual slavery, harvest most of the huge Dominican sugar cane crop, most of which ends up as sugar for the US market. Meanwhile, the Dominican government has beefed up the military on the border and there are ultranationalists in the DR who want to clamp down on the Haitians. This stuff, which has been going on for many years, is similar to what is happening at the US-Mexican border.

Spain has Europe's fastest growing immigrant population, but it is illegal immigration mainly from North Africa and Eastern Europe that causes the greatest controversy. Spain's Moroccan enclaves are an attractive destination for huge numbers of would-be immigrants from Africa. Similarly, as the borders of Europe have opened, large numbers of economic migrants have made their way to the peninsula.

All this week, KUOW has been airing a special series created by reporter Liz Jones. The series focuses on the transplanted community of indigenous Purepecha people from Mexico, now living in South Seattle. Perhaps you come from another culture. How to you keep traditions and customs alive away from your hometown? Is there a local community here that matches your background? How is that community held together?Plus, Cliff Mass joins us with a weekend weather forecast.Monday on Weekday: Reptile Adventures with Brady Barr

The Northwest has long been a magnet for immigrants from across the globe. One relative newcomer is an indigenous group of people called Purepecha, or Tarascan. They come to the Seattle area from central Mexico, and their first language is an Indian dialect, not Spanish. They've formed their own village within the city. But now, this village searches for leaders to help with hurdles at schools, health clinics and in their neighborhood. In the final part of our series, KUOW's Liz Jones looks at some growing pains in this young community.

About 3,000 miles south of Seattle you'll find a small Mexican town called Quinceo. You've probably never heard of Quinceo. But the indigenous Purepecha people who live there, know all about Seattle the Space Needle, the rain, even the traffic. People in Quinceo estimate half of the town packed up and went North, mostly to the Puget Sound area. In part four of our series on the Purepecha migrants, KUOW's Liz Jones explores our unofficial sister city in the rural heart of central Mexico.

In and around Seattle, the population of Mexican immigrants steadily grows. Increasingly, more of them are children. Parents bring them along to the Northwest in hopes their children will thrive with new opportunities. But what happens when you take kids who only know life in an Indian village and drop them in Seattle, with its fast paced lifestyle? In part 3 of our weeklong series, KUOW's Liz Jones talks with indigenous Purepecha teens about life on both sides of the border.

Some call the Purepecha's homeland in central Mexico 'the Mexican dustbowl.' Deforestation scars the mountainsides, and abandoned farm plots shrivel under the hot sun. For many, the search for work now leads North. KUOW's Liz Jones takes us on a job search from the Mexican countryside to the shores of the Duwamish.

It's easy to lump together all Mexican immigrants. But not all Mexicans moving to the Seattle area share a common culture or even a common language. The indigenous Purepecha are one such group emerging in our midst. We start with a look at how this group of people settled here and what parts of their unique culture survived the journey north.
