This year the Migrant Health Program must be reauthorized by Congress in order to survive into the next decade. Threats of "block granting" the program surfaced from the White House in December of 1994, but this has already been discarded as an option. The next change which is currently being proposed is to roll Migrant Health (PHS 329), Community Health (330), and Homeless Health (340) into one federally enacted Primary Care Authority, while at the same time preserving a clear focus on farmworker health services. Although this is a mostly positive alternative, no one knows what other proposals will surface regarding PHS 329 legislation. We do know that without reauthorization in 1995, appropriations for Migrant Health in FY 1996 may be cut or even eliminated.

Many Latinos decry usage of "illegal immigrant" because they say it criminalizes the person rather than the actual act of illegally entering or residing in the United States without federal documents. Some Latinos say such terms as "illegal alien" or "illegal immigrant" can often be used pejoratively in common parlance and can pack a powerful emotional wallop for those on the receiving end. To journalists, they can be an important community leader and a good source of information about local Muslims. In reference to the United States, an "emigrant" is one who leaves his or her country; an "immigrant" is one who enters and settles in the United States. Avoid adjectives that carry negative connotations such as flood, tidal wave, horde, deluge. In this way, children, for example, are not allowed to register at schools. Thus, the legal framework more or less dictated by non-accountable inter-governmental bodies of the EU actually delimits the first circle of exclusion of migrants in Greece. The particularly intense police control of the immigrant community is very likely to have contributed to a higher rate of registered crimes as compared with other less controlled segments of the population. Needless to say, no information or translation facilities are provided to the immigrants who are handled by the police or the border authorities. Legal representation at police stations during arrest or pending deportation is a rarity.
