The Other Side of Immigration

Last week Lindsey, Tyler and I went to see the movie “The Other Side of Immigration”.  The whole movie was in Spanish and there were English subtitles. Families were talking about how hard it is for their loved ones to go to the United States and not know when they are coming home. Farmers in Mexico have stated that they cannot compete with the farmers in the United States. Citizens of Mexico said that Mexico’s economy depends on the United States’ economy. In the end, Mexico stated that they were working with United States to come up with a program where immigrants can work for six months in the United States and go home for six months. This will not leave the immigrant’s family wondering when their loved one will be home.

Personally, I thought the movie was very informative. I do not believe in immigrants coming to the United States to work. There are so many United States citizens that do not have a job and cannot because all the jobs are occupied. I find it very frustrating that Mexico’s economy depends on the money that is sent from the United States. I believe that Mexico should make their own economy sufficient.
