The New Latino Face of the U.S. Catholic Church
Politics and religion will likely converge next week when Pope Benedict arrives in the United States. Although he won't be visiting California, the Pope may be reminded during his visit that the church's center of gravity in the U.S. is shifting towards the Golden State. One reason for that shift has to do with an unprecedented exodus of parishioners over the past few years -- an exodus that's created a gap being filled by Latino immigrants.

Migrant Trailer Park
In an agricultural valley about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, a rundown mobile home park is the site of a showdown between federal authorities and an Indian tribe -- with thousands of Mexican migrant workers caught in the middle. Federal officials call the park unsanitary and unsafe, and a federal judge appointed a receiver to take over the property and clean it up. If the park is beyond repair the judge could shut it down, leaving thousands of people without a home.

Guestworkers
Today is Cesar Chavez Day. Back in the 1960s, one of Chavez's biggest battles was against the Bracero program which brought temporary farmworkers from Mexico. Chavez complained that the program made it easy for growers to exploit workers -- and that it undermined farmworkers already here. Now farmers use a different kind of guestworker program, and the federal government wants to expand it. But this time around, both farmworker unions and farmers oppose it.

Calexico Schools
For generations, people from Mexico have crossed into the border city of Calexico to work in the Imperial Valley, about 100 miles east of San Diego. And for decades, Mexican students have been crossing into Calexico to attend public schools in this poor agricultural area -- but overcrowding in those schools is prompting school officials to crack down on the practice.

Irish Bakery
California has more Irish immigrants than any other state in the nation. Within California, San Francisco takes the cake for Irish flavor. There's no one traditional Irish neighborhood, but you'll find a good place to whet your appetite for St. Patrick's Day in the city's Richmond District. There, John Campbell's Irish Bakery serves the buttery baked goodies that bring the Old Country alive in the new.

Immigrant Seniors
The great majority of immigrants to the U.S. are young and of working age. But in recent years, an increasing number of immigrants are in their 60s, 70s and older. More than 100,000 elderly immigrants a year come to the U.S., and for many life here hasn't turned out they way they hoped. A new program in Fremont is designed to help.

Guzman Lawsuit
Lawyers for a developmentally disabled Southern California man who was wrongfully deported to Mexico are suing the federal government and Los Angeles County. The case of Pedro Guzman, who went missing in Mexico for almost three months, has served as a rallying call for critics of U.S. immigration enforcement.

Immigration and Crime
The notion that legal or illegal immigrants are a threat to public safety is a longstanding concern among many Americans engaged in the immigration reform debate. Now, a new study shows that immigrants are not more likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens.
