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.
