How can Migrant Imaginaries speak to anti-immigration/migration sentiment?

This book was able to speak to those who might be anti-immigration because it explained immigration from the migrants point of view which is often overlooked. Camacho did a good job of this by presenting different songs and stories from the migrants themselves showing their actual purpose for immigrating and the struggles that they went through to get here. Many people feel that these people are only coming here to take away the jobs we have and to live off of the country, but by reading this book and the personal accounts you can see that that is not their purpose at all, but rather they wish to have a better life and to be able to provide for their families just as every other person strives to do. This also speaks to the anti-immigration and migrant sentiment because it makes people realize that at one point we were all immigrants in search of a better life and who are we to deny them the opportunity to better themselves.
