Wednesday Draft Questions
1. How can our government better address the issues of giving benefits to undocumented people? Could this Coronavirus outbreak be an opportunity to provide citizenship to the millions of essential undocumented workers?
2. "Sobreviviendo” is a great piece because it carries the voices from both sides of borders or people who have faced the true hardships of Mexican immigration to the U.S.. It was great to be able to hear the side of not only those who've left their families to work in the U.S. but also those who's families have left them in Mexico for the U.S.. With the stories of unthinkable things happening to migrants and the ICE raids breaking up families, what do you think it will take for the U.S. to be affected by these stories in such a way that they'll be moved to act? How can we put an end to this sad story?
3. Many of the readings have opened my eyes even more so to the vast inequalities that exist in this country. The struggles that Blacks and Latinos face in this country, making 71 cents on the dollar, being stripped of workers rights due to undocumented status, etc. already create such an uneven playing field and perpetuate a cycle that repeats itself. As shown in the CCN article, hard times for the country means especially hard times for minorities. Seeing the music to protest the ICE raids and all sorts of creative artists protesting these inequalities, this is still very much the reality. How can the lessens of Chela Sandoval, Maylei Blackwell, or any author or artist that we've read so far help stop this cycle?
4. I especially love the testimonios involved in creating “Sobreviviendo". The lyrics convey the sentiment of surviving, or keeping on no matter what because they will one day see their loved ones again. What does the message of “Sobreviviendo" say about the mindset of those who’ve experienced crossing the border and being undocumented migrants?
