In this case, the border patrol’s objective history. The border enforcements between Mexico and the United States has constantly been changing throughout history, whether it is through their terms of race, class or regional background. In the book, Migra,…

My father was born in Mexico in 1969. When he was younger his family did not have much money. His older brothers had to work to help support the family because their father had gone to America to find work, and did not send money back to his family. They did not have many of the things like we do now. An example of this was my father and his sibling had to make their own sandals. These were made with rubber from old tires and string. Jose, my uncle, was the first sibling to cross over into…

people see and are unquestioningly naturalized to. In the 21st century technology and what technology can do is becoming a natural, everyday part of life. Interaction with technology is becoming naturalized. According to Dusek (2006:28), this naturalization, changes the words definition depending on how the function and understanding of technology and nature change.

A portion of the ideas or practices that I found in the film that are specified in sections 4, 5 and 6 are the Raza Unida individuals couldn't have a place with different gatherings.

In 1984, director Juliusz Machulski released what was initially thought of as a film with sexist intentions due to the portrayal of the female population. However, upon deeper analysation, the film entitled SexMission is Poland’s all-time domestic box office champion and seemingly operates on multiple different levels of satire and deeper meaning by the use of social-political comments including dictatorship, totalitarianism, fascism and of course social irony. The movie contains many…

favor of the Republicans. He labeled the Alien and Sedition Acts as political and unconstitutional. Instead of repealing the acts, Jefferson let the Alien and Sedition Acts expire to avoid the Federalists’ opposition. Jefferson then amended the Naturalization Act to allow resident aliens to become citizens after five years, which was the original waiting period. He abolished all internal taxes imposed by the Federalists, including the excise tax that sparked the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794.…

The US/ Mexico borderlands are the site of a number of “flows” of goods, people, and ideas over the last century. The US is attempting to increase the “flow” of some goods such as food, but restricting others like illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The US has been trying to stop drug smugglers and illegal immigration by setting some policies. When Salinas became the president of Mexico, his number one priority was to stop drug trafficking and smuggling it into the US so both countries…

part of the majority, and have nothing to do. Henry is not part of the White Majority, Henry is bombarded by the negative stereotypes that had been rooted by unfortunate events in the 1800s, "Chinese and other Asian immigrants fought the bar on naturalization by arguing they were in fact White and thus eligible for citizenship" (Kim 114). In the past Asians had fought for the rights to become natural American citizen in the late 1800s. Even in the present day of Henry’s time, Henry is still part…

From 1942-1964, the United States government, in conjunction with the Mexican government, instituted into an immigration agreement known as the Bracero Program. This agreement was an attempt to reduce illegal immigration by instituting a program of legal labor (using bracero, a term literally meaning “arm-man”, loosely translated to “farmhand” ) in which American farmers could hire young Mexican men, pay them low wages and send them back to Mexico once they were no longer needed. In addition…
