DVD Reviews of Cochise County USA - Cries from the Border (2005)
DVD Review: Misses the root of the problem.
Summary: 2 Stars
The way the issue of unauthorized immigration is being framed is an intentional misdirection. The corporatocracy that wrote the devastating "free" trade policies has been invading the Global South for years The Corporation. The economic refugee crisis that has ensued from NAFTA and privatization schemes is a symptom of the root problem that needs to be addressed with Fair Trade Brewing Justice: Fair Trade Coffee, Sustainability, and Survival, resistance to neoliberalism The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, protection for local economies Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism, and respect for the rights of campesinos and indigenous communities The Fourth World War.
The elite are pitting working class people against each other, and fostering ultranationalism to make money off of the militarization of the border. Boeing, Northrop Grumman and other weapons makers have received massive amounts of our tax dollars (Why We Fight) to build the hi-tech wall that many immigrants will simply fly over. That is, people with work and travel visas will simply overstay their visas, as almost half of "illegals" have been doing already.
Keeping an army of undocumented laborers makes them vulnerable to punishment when they try to organize and bring up wages in various sectors of the economy; as some migrant workers are trying to do Organizing Immigrants: The Challenge for Unions in Contemporary California (ILR Press books).
As corporate executives work together across borders and nationalities, the general public needs to do the same. It's time to transform corporate globalization into a globalization of democracy.
