Things are probably pretty quite in Indiana, at Notre Dame where he teaches and over reaches. Let him live inside of Arizona--close to the Mexican border and see how long he remains an "expert" and an authority on the human rights of migrants.

"Jorge Bustamante is Eugene Conley Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame and professor and researcher at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, the prominent Mexican institute for the study of border issues, of which he is also the founder. Bustamante also serves as UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights of Migrants.

His research and teaching interests focus on U.S.-Mexico border studies, international migrations and human rights, and U.S. population of Mexican origin in the United States. He is a leading participant in international scholarly networks dealing with these themes and has played a major role in building and sustaining scholarly linkages between Mexico and the United States.

Bustamante has been quoted as a leading expert in the field of international migrations by most major newspapers in the United States and his commentary has been featured on programs such as Night Line, 60 Minutes, and the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour. He has published over 200 articles on Mexican immigration to the United States, US-Mexico border phenomena and US-Mexico relations in scholarly journals from the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Venezuela, Spain and Mexico."

Preferably with first class English skills. Why does Columbus, OH need a full time "Mexico Solidarity Network – Activist?" Hmmm. Solidarity. Where have we heard that term before? I was just browsing the OSU publication Que pasa (translation: wha's happening bro?) and saw this job opening for a position that reports to the "Executive Director," and "Maintains regular communication between the Commission and the vast array of Hispanic/Latino-serving community based organizations (CBO’s) statewide." I'm not sure which "commission" is referred to, but there is a link to Amnesty International for the application materials.

"The Mexico Solidarity Network struggles [oh yeah] for democracy, economic justice and human rights on both sides of the US-Mexico border [you need to try a little harder in Mexico]. Civil society must take the leading role in fomenting [we hear ya] social change by developing democratic spaces [i.e. the southwestern USA then north to Ohio] and empowered communities that are outside of party/establishment structures, but always interacting with those structures. The Mexico Solidarity Network is a grassroots-based organization [I'll bet!] dedicated to profound social change [you mean like in Russia and China in the 20th century?] that challenges existing power relationships [US government] and builds alternatives."

This isn't the only job opening with Marxist red flags (no pun intended) listed in Que Pasa, but you can check it out for yourself.
