Week 8| The Border March 11 Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Not A Nation of Immigrants, “Ch. 8, The Border.” 1. What does Dunbar-Ortiz mean by “Mexican Hating”? What are examples that she discusses throughout the chapter? a. "Mexican hating" refers to the longstanding prejudice and discrimination against Mexicans and Mexican immigrants in the United States, often manifested through denigration, stereotypes, and xenophobia. b. On page 233-235, Dunbar-Ortiz writes about the El Paso massacre, it’s the one I remember hearing about. She also writes about James Oliver Huberty, the perpetrator of the July 18, 1984 massacre at a McDonald's in San Ysidro, California, who had a history of job instability and paranoia. (Which he blamed on immigration and Mexicans, instead of the U.S. government and the economy). San Ysidro, is along the United States-Mexico border and directly across from Tijuana, Mexico, has a predominantly Mexican-American population, with about 90% being US citizens. Police and a SWAT team took 35 minutes to reach the crime scene during the massacre at a local McDonald's. The shooting lasted for approximately 78 minutes, during which the Huberty fired around 245 rounds. Both El Paso and San Ysidro remain some of the deadliest mass shootings. 2. What is the history and current conditions that are leading to mass migration from Central America?
a. The history of U.S. intervention in Central America, economic instability, violence, and political unrest have contributed to the mass migration from Central America. 3. How has the U.S. responded to the wave of unaccompanied migrant/refugee children at the U.S. border? a. The U.S. response to the wave of unaccompanied migrant/refugee children at the U.S. border has been inadequate and often harsh, including policies such as family separation and detention. 4. What is the experience of Indigenous people at the border a. Indigenous people at the border face significant challenges, due to border surveillance and registration processes, as well as environmental and biodiversity impacts on their communities.
