In class we watched the video Harvest of Empire. It was a very interesting and insightful. I am surprised that they don't teach this in school. I have never known anything about the Latin cultures that this video was informing us about. I am part of the Hispanic heritage and I didn't know things about my own culture. Now a days all the media showing Trump downgrading the Hispanic culture and hearing the crowd cheer with applause with his comments is very hurtful to watch. If only everyone knew the facts this video has stated.
The video left a statement saying by the end of the century most people in America will trace their heritage back to the Latin culture. It gave a lot of information that shows why Hispanics ended up in the USA in the …show more content…
Puerto Rico because territory to the USA because it was taken as a prize of war. In 1973 they let Puerto Ricans become citizens just before the war so they could help in the war. There are a few differences between Puerto Rican immigrants and Latino Immigrants when it comes to the legal status that I didn't know about. The differences are, they don’t have to worry about getting legal papers, they don't have to worry about crossing the border, and they don't have to wait 20 years just to get citizen's paper. It is a really hard process that people have to go through to get …show more content…
This really got my attention because my roots come from Mexico and I knew no of this information. So from what I got off the video was that the main reason Mexicans were immigrating to the USA was because they were recruited to fight in the WWI and the WWII and when they needed workers. In fact, several thousand Mexicans served in the war. Then when the depression happen, they were sent back to Mexico even Mexicans that became American Citizens. Which really shocked me because it seems the me that America just used immigrates when they needed them. In Puerto Rico was used all for the sugar and land, then Mexicans were used for war and work. Even the other counties that the video mention it seemed that America would only use the immigrants to get something out if it. Which seems really selfish for Americans to complain about Immigrants when we were the ones who brought them here in the first place. I feel like after watching this video I learned a lot about some Latin countries I never knew. There are currently 5 million Puerto Ricans, 1 million Guatemalans, 33 million Mexicans, 1.5 million Dominican Republicans, 2 million Cubans, 2 million Salvadorans currently in the U.S. Hearing people say when immigrants come to the USA they are all bring crime, and rapist is really hurtful. Having a father who came as an immigrant and is a good citizen here is America is just horrible to hear the media today. I went online and I found
