Every single year. it has gotten worse and worse and worse. This week. the broken promises sold to the American public and their elected officials is that these agreements would really work. The people who voted for those agreements should pay some attention to the debate of trying to withhold funding for the Department of Homeland Security because of the Presidents action on immigration. The stories of the youth being shipped back by the planeloads tell of families lands being stolen from under them. The land was handed over to multinational corporate agricultural groups that come in and grow. for example. palm oil. Local displaced farmers were forced into urban settingsdesperate. in search of food. in search of work at factories where jobs that were promised in return for the landguess whatnever materialized. Here on our own continent. the children became the refugees of transnational economic policies that harmed the entire continent. Hardly anyone even talked about that. but when you have this kind of disruption. when you have so much job loss. and when you have land. transferring title with millions of farmers disrupted from their way of life. what do we expect? Millions of displaced people in Mexico and Central America living in the shadow of border plants and urban factories exist in a state of peonage that makes older versions of slavery look positively beneficent. squatting on poisoned ground in jerryrigged plywood and tar paper shacks.
