Root Causes of the Border Crisis

Without knowing the root causes of migration to the United States it is not possible to address them.

The United States is a free country. The countries people are being driven out of are not free countries. Some causes include destruction of farmland, corporate land seizure, disease, malnutrition, crime, violence, hunger, lack of education and destruction of land and sea resource like forests for lumber and the Ocean and Rivers for fish and other seafood.

There are many causes. None of them include Social Security, long term employment at McDonald's or slaving on a farm in California.

This book talks about why migrants and immigrants are risking their lives to cross the border into the United States and become Americans. It is a plain, simple telling of the Martinez family as they make their way from the countryside of Costa Rica to Detroit, Michigan.

It is built, of course, upon the American dream and the American that exists in the United States of America. More than that, however, it details the very real reasons people have for leaving their country to go to the United States. Not enough people are aware that these people are leaving life and death situations. They are coming from places that cannot be gone back to without a great deal of work and fixing.

Of course - the work and fixing of correcting all that would be profitable for a great many people - but - right now too many people in the developed world are under the impression that millions of people fleeing their homes are doing it as an adventure and fun thing to do with their time. In fact, if they stay, they would live in misery and many face death for themselves and their loved ones. What they are doing is heroic. Just as heroic as what our own ancestors have done.

At this point in time people are struggling to reach the United States. They are striving with all their lives and abilities to come to these shores. They are travelling with their families over dangerous lands. They are dealing with treacherous people. They are escaping life threatening situations. They are hoping for a better life. They want to build a better life for themselves and their family. They are coming, some of them with nothing but their abilities and the clothes on their backs. They are being driven from their homelands and the places of their birth having been left with one blessed hope and future and that is to live in the United States of America. They desire to join their future with the American people and work hard and work together to build a nation this is strong and compassionate.

Many of the hardworking people never make it to our shores or cross our borders. Some give up their lives in the doing of this fabulous journey. Their efforts end in blameless death that is tragedy itself. They come with no dishonor hoping to have and to give what is the best of all human accomplishments - to be free, equal, to live in peace and to have an opportunity.

Many try to shut them out. Turning away from their own blessed truths and given fortunes provided to us by our union and pledges to liberty. They cannot be shut out because these strangers among us are us.

The question now, of course, is - what do we all do together?

Este libro habla sobre por qué los migrantes e inmigrantes arriesgan sus vidas para cruzar la frontera hacia Estados Unidos y convertirse en estadounidenses. Es un relato sencillo y directo de la familia Martínez mientras se abren camino desde el campo de Costa Rica hasta Detroit, Michigan.

Por supuesto, está basado en el sue?o americano y en la América que existe en los Estados Unidos de América. Sin embargo, detalla las razones muy reales que tienen las personas para abandonar su país y dirigirse a Estados Unidos. No hay suficiente conciencia de que estas personas están abandonando situaciones de vida o muerte. Vienen de lugares a los que no pueden regresar sin mucho esfuerzo y reparación.

Por supuesto, el trabajo y la corrección de todo eso serían rentables para mucha gente, pero actualmente demasiadas personas en el mundo desarrollado tienen la impresión de que millones de personas que huyen de sus hogares lo hacen como una aventura y una diversión. De hecho, si se quedaran, vivirían en la miseria y muchos enfrentarían la muerte para ellos y sus seres queridos. Lo que están haciendo es heroico, tan heroico como lo que hicieron nuestros propios ancestros.

En este momento, las personas están luchando por llegar a Estados Unidos. Están esforzándose con todas sus vidas y habilidades para llegar a estas costas. Viajan con sus familias por tierras peligrosas. Tratan con personas traicioneras. Escapan de situaciones que amenazan sus vidas. Esperan una vida mejor. Quieren construir una vida mejor para ellos y sus familias. Vienen, algunos de ellos, solo con sus habilidades y la ropa que llevan puesta. Son expulsados de sus tierras natales y de los lugares de su nacimiento, con una única esperanza y futuro bendecidos: vivir en los Estados Unidos de América. Desean unir su futuro con el pueblo americano y trabajar duro y juntos para construir una nación fuerte y compasiva.

Muchos de los trabajadores nunca llegan a nuestras costas ni cruzan nuestras fronteras. Algunos dan su vida en el transcurso de este fabuloso viaje. Sus esfuerzos terminan en una muerte sin culpa, que es una tragedia en sí misma. Vienen sin deshonra, con la esperanza de tener y dar lo mejor de todos los logros humanos: ser libre, igual, vivir en paz y tener una oportunidad.

Muchos intentan cerrarles el paso. Alejándose de sus propias verdades benditas y fortunas otorgadas a nosotros por nuestra unión y promesas de libertad. No pueden ser excluidos porque estos extra?os entre nosotros somos nosotros mismos.

?La pregunta ahora, por supuesto, es: ?qué hacemos todos juntos?

Some stagger and fall,

after all it's not easy

Banging your heart

against some mad bugger's wall." - Pink Floyd, The Wall
