The issue of immigration

When we refer to immigration and what we saw on the film, it shows us footage and
notions from all sides of the story with several dozen interviews. The interviewees are
people ranging from scholars, writers, artists, activists, historians, journalists and political
figures to people who lived out the some of the consequences of US interference in Latin
American countries and experienced a subsequent migration to the United States, and
how Latin American people were affected negatively by US policies and as immigrant
people in the USA. 
When we talk about immigration we often have unquestioned ideals and moral
superiority of the American exceptionalism, multinational corporation power, and
economic and political dominance of the US, all of this issues are perhaps related to the
Drug Wars and contemporary economic relationships in the Americas. Even so, this fights
against drugs and cartel gangs makes the strong case that the actions the US government
and military in Latin America had been implementing over the years continues to directly
contribute to migration from Latin American countries.
Also when we talk about immigrants these massive migrations can be attributed to a
number of factors, including the existence of a covert racist ideology that has been
created whit the fear of expansive globalization and the political expediency of the
“better” race card factors. That repeatedly compromise the welfare of refugees and
immigrants to the countries they arrive in search for better options to their life’s and
futures.
That’s why this imperial domination is a vicious and relentless drive for territorial
expansion, conquest, and subjugation of other nations that left an entire hemisphere
transformed into an economic satellite and sphere of U.S. influence. Letting us whit a
bigger concern and a great conclusion that Juan states in his book where he says:
“If Latin America had not been raped and pillaged by U.S. capital since its independence,
millions of desperate workers would not now be coming here in such numbers to reclaim
a share of that wealth.”
