This is a great article written by Liz Larroquette in her blog\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, I was at a party in the States and found myself making small talk with a wide variety of interesting people. Waiters moved seamlessly with small trays of appetizers and bottles of wine ready to pour, complete with small cloths draped perfectly over the non-dominate arm. Explaining I lived in Panama with an Aussie accent […]<\/p>\n

A woman, who appeared to be in her mid-50s, was especially interested in striking up a conversation. \u201cI teach English as a second language,\u201d she began as she moved closer to me. \u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get some Panamanians, but we haven\u2019t had any so far. A lot of Guatemalans and people from Honduras,\u201d she continued, looking at me for a response. \u201cWith the Panamanians, what should I know about their background?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"panama
Teaching English as a second language to immigrants entering the United States provides for both the children, their families and future employers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I appreciated her interest in addressing the whole child who would need to know English, as well as other useful skills, to survive living in the United States as an immigrant. I also knew I needed to correct what she must think of Panamanians. \u201cYou most likely won\u2019t have anyone from Panama,\u201d I said with a smile. The woman looked at me as if she was judging whether or not I must be mistaken. \u201cWhy won\u2019t we see Panamanians?\u201d she asked pleasantly. A couple of others joined the conversation.<\/p>\n

PANAMANIANS AREN<\/strong>\u2019T SEEKING ASYLUM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cPanamanians aren\u2019t seeking asylum. We live in a democracy, have good schools dedicated to teaching English as a regular part of the curriculum, a solid middle class and many social programs for anyone suffering misfortune. We also don\u2019t have as many drug problems as you would find here,\u201d I said referring to the United States. \u201cAnd certainly not as many drug issues as you would find in Mexico. Panama City is clean, the water system is superior, the transportation is exceptional and there are enough jobs for everyone who needs to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReally\u201d, she responded as she took a sip of a lovely looking cabernet. \u201cBut, I thought the people seeking asylum were coming from Central America. That they were escaping rampant violence and starvation.\u201d<\/p>\n

MISCONCEPTIONS EXIST ABOUT PANAMA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I wanted to be careful because these were educated people. No mistakes. I was standing in a beautiful home in a pleasant Midwestern neighborhood. They were obviously well read but basic misconceptions still existed. \u201cThose seeking asylum are individuals who are in fear because of their personal situation in their home country. Religious persecution, threats from drug cartels\u2014that sort of situation. They fear for their lives and those of their families. That simply does not exist in Panama,\u201d I continued.<\/p>\n

I smiled, making sure everyone knew I was not offended or making any judgement. \u201cIf you flew into Panama City today, not knowing where you were landing, you probably would not guess it was in Central America. While Mexico has lovely sections where people are safe and flourishing, there are also areas of extreme danger with rampant murders and drug influence.\u00a0 People don\u2019t blink when someone is murdered. They want better for their children, for themselves. Panama City does not have that kind of violence. Our skyline is filled with skyscrapers, well-maintained roads and people generally don\u2019t fear walking about at night. Panamanians don\u2019t want to leave Panama because of violence. Panama is a very safe country.\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked back at me and smiled. \u201cWell then, I won\u2019t be looking for any Panamanians showing up in my English class,\u201d she continued while tipping her glass toward me.<\/p>\n

NOT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN IN THE UNITED STATES<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"juan
Panamanian president Juan Carlos Varela recently announced \u201cthe thousands of Venezuelans that have arrived to Panama \u2026 has led officials to implement new measures ensuring the job security and safety of permanent residents.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An older gentleman inched forward perceptively, \u201cIf no one is leaving Panama, why aren\u2019t people walking to your borders like they are in the United States?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, Panama is experiencing some of the same challenges with immigrants as the United States and I guess other countries like Germany and Greece. We have a lot of people wanting to come to Panama. Especially from Venezuela where, right now, people don\u2019t have enough to eat. Colombia is next door, but it\u2019s not a good landing spot for the Venezuelans because the Colombian economy isn\u2019t strong. Panama is the next logical place. We speak their language, many of the individuals seeking work in Panama have immigrated several times, continually looking for something better. Most of the countries in South America tend to go in and out of chaos. Panama is a stable democracy with a booming economy and jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soft music played in the background. \u201cHow do you handle the influx of immigrants,\u201d another man asked. \u201cAs you may know, it\u2019s a hot topic here in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"citizenship\"
Almost everyday, a variety of individuals are granted United States citizenship through a variety of different ways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SAME UN COMMISSION FOR REFUGEES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWe live and abide by the same standards as the United States because we are a participating country of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees,\u201d I explained. \u201cThere are protocols dictated by that commission. But, in practicality, we had to make changes recently when so many people started coming to our door. It used to be the government was pretty lax on visitors who entered. For tourists they could just make a weekend of it, by going to Costa Rica and upon returning their visa clock was reset. Now, if your papers aren\u2019t in order, you have to leave for a much longer time, like 90 days. That isn\u2019t practical for people who really live in Panama so pretty much everyone I know have their papers in order.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce in Panama, are there jobs for the immigrants?\u201d a woman asked. \u201cDo they strain social services?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot compare the refugees coming to Panama with those coming to the United States,\u201d I began while considering the table in the next room. It was groaning from delicious looking offerings. \u201cOur numbers are smaller, our costs are less and you can live inexpensively. Lots of beans and rice. Our medical care is some of the best anywhere and yet it is pennies on the dollar compared to your costs. We have a great deal of charitable work. Churches and other groups help people get settled. Fewer people though,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

SO MANY INFLUENCES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cBasically, we are a schizophrenic nation,\u201d I laughed. \u201cPanama, because of our geographic location, with that beautiful Panama Canal, has seen lots of different nations and people come and go. The French have a strong footprint because they started the Canal, and the Chinese workers were brought in to build the Canal and there are many, with a Chinese heritage, who have lived their entire life in Panama. We celebrate independence days from both Colombia and Spain. It would be difficult to estimate the influence of the United States. We embrace many different cultures, religions and basically have a live and let live attitude. Of course, we need to take care of our people and not strain the system, but right now Panama is in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"panamanian
The Independence Day parade, which goes down Avenida Balboa is filled with bands, the military and beauty queens. While it is nice to demonstrate the pride of Panama, it\u2019s also just another day to celebrate!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was a pause so I grabbed the opportunity. \u201cI could talk about Panama all day,\u201d I began, \u201cbut I\u2019ve been looking at that dining room table. I\u2019ve enjoyed the small bites that have been passed, but those little sandwiches look inviting,\u201d I concluded and moved quickly.<\/p>\n

My friend moved toward me as we both dipped a shrimp tail into cocktail sauce. \u201cWhat have you been talking about all this time,\u201d she inquired. \u201cYou\u2019ve not stopped talking and I was worried you\u2019d be bored!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone had lots of questions about Panama, refugees, our economy,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just couldn\u2019t help yourself could you,\u201d she said laughing. \u201cA favorite subject. Panama. Panama. Panama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
