Migrant Imaginaries


I think Alicia Schmidt Camacho did a nice job of showing readers who are anti-immigration a different view point, by showing the viewpoint of immigrants whose people were once pushed out of the United States. Like Avery mentioned in her post, American citizens have the mentality that immigrants are only here to take away their jobs, while in actuality, most of them are here to just provide for their family as well as attempting to take back the land that they once had years ago. Camacho allows her readers to see it through a different lens. Through this book, people can begin to see how Mexicans were pushed out of a land that was truly theirs.
