Migrant sentiment

I don't think that there is a clear way for migrant imaginaries to reach out and speak to anti-immigration sentiment. in the case of Mexican immigrants, like Camacho is talking about, these immigrants are trying to gain back land that was taken from them and find work. People who are anti-immigrant just think that the immigrants are just trying to take jobs away from "Americans" not realizing the need for the money or even reparations for losing land. If you look at the image below, it shows how much land the Mexican immigrants lost. How is it fair for people to be anti-immigration when these people just want their land back, or even to just have some reparations for what was taken from them?
