Contextualizing the Migrant C̶r̶i̶s̶i̶s Narrative: A Deep Dive into Causes of Migration
Over the past two years, the U.S. government has admitted hundreds of thousands of people seeking protection. Republican governors of Texas, Arizona, and Florida have transported many of these people to Democratic cities, primarily Washington D.C., New York, and Chicago. The arrival of these immigrants, who join the more than 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S., has highlighted the serious failures of social policies intended to promote the well-being of all people comprising U.S. society today. Join the first in a series of conversations called Contextualizing the Migrant Crisis Narrative in which we will address the various historical, economic, and political factors forcing people from across Latin America and the Caribbean to migrate to the United States.
ESPAÑOL Contextualizando la Crisis Narrativa Migrante Parte I: Una inmersión profunda en las causas de la migración
En los dos últimos años, el gobierno estadounidense ha admitido a cientos de miles de personas en búsqueda de protección. Los gobernadores republicanos de Texas, Arizona y Florida han transportado a muchas de estas personas a ciudades demócratas, principalmente a Washington D.C., Nueva York y Chicago. La llegada de estos inmigrantes, que se suman a los más de 11 millones de personas indocumentadas que viven en EE. UU., ha puesto de manifiesto las graves falencias de las políticas sociales destinadas a promover el bienestar de todas las personas que hacen parte de la sociedad estadounidense actualmente. Únase a la primera de una serie de conversaciones denominada Contextualizando la Crisis Narrativa Migrante (Contextualizing the Migrant Crisis Narrative) en la que abordaremos los diversos factores históricos, económicos y políticos que obligan a personas de toda América Latina y el Caribe a emigrar a Estados Unidos. Esta conversación se desarrollará en inglés y habrá interpretación al español.
