Mexican-Americans and the Struggle For Equality

Americans are taking to the polling stations again this fall. And although this is considered an “off-year” for elections, the tone will be set with regards to one very specific issue – immigration reform.

This fall, American citizens will once again hit the polling stations for the general elections of pubic officials. Although the only seats that will be in contention will the “special elections” within the United States Congress in California’s 36th district and New York’s 26th district, filling recently resigned seats.

Additionally there will be four gubernatorial elections held; Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and West Virginia all have top positions up for grabs. These elections will set the tone for the 2012 presidential elections in one particular area.

Almost daily, 10s of 1000s of Mexicans come across the border. Almost all have some sort of pre-arranged working assignment or family relationship to associate with, while others come in search of work and opportunity. Most arrive completely legally and with full permission. They then return to their homes and families in Mexico after a long day of hard work in the United States. Others, however, decide that they must run the risk of being caught and break the law, staying in the United States. For many of these people, the only hope of a decent life lay with the fact that they will need to break the law, hoping that their decision will pay off in the end.

The simple fact of the matter is that US citizens do not and cannot perform the tasks that most Mexican laborers excel at doing. As the 2012 elections draw near, expect to hear explosive debates over this issue. Some US citizens want them to be punished, some what them to have all the rights available. But the majority of the Mexican migrant population simply want to work hard and provide for their families – the real “American dream.”
