La importancia de ser migrante | Eunice Rendón | TEDxINACIPE


[Music]

we have migrants who come from

Central America almost 200,000 here a year

trying to cross into the united states

We also see that we have 35 million

people today in united states of origin

mexican first and third

generation but I think here the

reflection is what you have to think about is

how did he tell him what’s going on a migrant

even in crossing the desert in

have to cross in different ways

the border and good we see that also today

with the era but that is getting more

difficult today migrant trafficking

it has also become treats because

because organized crime groups

in the border is also getting

in this that is a business and forget

today it looks like an attractive business already

that today they can charge up to 30,000

dollars a crossing and clear that the migrant

does not have that money then what does

is to pay 5 thousand and once you get there

Well, you have to keep working and

paying that money these this network that

besides, it must be said they are binational

then thinking is everything a

migrant lives and life of different

migrants I would like to tell you some

profiles of migrants and and and related

with the challenges we have today

Much has been said today about

deportations

We see that this is not a new issue either

for mexico because because the president

obama was the main carrier plus

of three million Mexicans were

deported during his term and today

control we see even a decrease in

the contributions of 24 percent

but what is happening that

what is changing in the dynamics

social and real social of people is

say today the language the president

although sometimes we think that only

we are listening to someone rude

xenophobe and that does not impact

greater has an impact

Today 20 percent have not grown

hate crimes in the united states

they have also grown 10 percent

the hate groups in the united states and

well this is seen in the social dynamics a

us from migrant people

many times we are reported by people

that suffers things and even discrimination

in public spaces

today we are seeing arrests where

before we did not see we saw the recent case

of young people

ben but we have also seen it in

churches the case of the girl for example

white you think of this minor

that I was going to just a hospital in

shingles because there was not in place of

origin or the hospital in the place where

he lived with his parents also in tiles that

had to travel aad de rosario de

sorry he had to travel towards corpus

christi sorry to a children’s hospital

and just down the road stops the live

for being an undocumented migrant a

10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and

just the jce goes to the hospital with

she and once operated on the girl day

next the one of the stop and they take it

a center unaccompanied

then it is a case of what is

happening in united states

we also have the case for example of

guadalupe a working mother

of fini ex that return it via the

expedited deportation

that expedited contribution is another of the

challenges that we see today what do you mean

what the jce that the police

migratory detain the person and is a judge

and sworn and deports him to the way

immediate or expeditiously and

then it does not go through due process

violates due process is the person

who has the right to go through a

immigration court

today we also have a challenge the courts

of immigration that’s why we have not

seen more deportations if there is a

decrease but you have to analyze the

light of other data this information is

say while there is 24% less

deportations

there is a 43% increase in arrests

in the united States and tripled the

number of people arrested without

no criminal record

simply because of their racial profile

be morenitos today they stop them and and

they are in these centers because

no deportation has been reflected

remember that in the United States we have

56 immigration courts and already with obama

they were overflowing

with all these arrests that has

carried out another we have more than 650

thousand pending cases in the courts in the

time that start working is

when we’re going to start seeing more

deported that’s why the president

French are remembered in the speech of

the union what he asks in exchange for Dhaka

that is another issue that right now we are going to

talk in exchange for giving them this permission

or status to the dreamers he asks

just the wall but

He also asks for resources to have more

judges and to have more policemen 10 thousand

agents more than life 5,000 more than

border Patrol

and all this without doubt is reflected in

a human issue that is migration the

migration more there is something else enriches

also culturally and economically to another

country

also this that is being suffered in

united states seen from this

human perspective not only hits

Mexicans or Central American foreigners

also leaves a lot of Americans because

today what there are are binational families

today we have for example only the

first that they were taken from very

little dad his dads to usa

we see that 70% of them that are also

the face and the most desirable migration not

they already have a higher education

90 percent have a job

Formal 95% are bilingual and already also

72 percent have a relative who

It is completely American

all this puts on the table projects

even in mental health issues I I

It is very important to work with migrants

Sometimes they are afraid to leave

manage to see them because if they have

there was a and especially in some

places is to say and here also the

public policy matters that always

we think of migrants and places like

California

we started on migrants in places like

Texas finally there are a thousand and is not not know if

there are states that concentrate a greater

number but today the challenge is in those

states where there is a greater

discrimination and they are not necessarily

the sanctuary places but are about

all in states as in everything here

alabama the carolinas

that’s where they are stopping more to

our migrants we have cases of

people who have arrested them to police

locals from those places the islands the

refer to the ice and then return

we also have the challenge of rhythms

the binational youths that happen today

with our first in the united states

are in the on the tightrope is

say precise control give today in the

supreme court also does not accept the

Appeal of tron from one of the judges

federal who is against this

decision based on the demands that

there was

let’s see what happens we have until 5

March to define what will happen with

these 800 thousand young people but also with

many more that still do not meet the

age to have dacca and that there they are in

state

and also something important to understand

Mexico has to be consistent with what

that we are asking in the united states

you know the story that happened

Central American migrants to go through

our country lives many of the things

that these migrants also suffer in

U.S

we see that even women are taken

the pill of the day later because they know

that they are very likely going to be

violated in transit through our country

we see a subject that is also very painful

and very hard that is the one of the minors not

accompanied

these children that we also know that the

reason for a minor to travel not

accompanied many times is almost the

danger of life in its place of origin or

some very complex situation of

violence in the place of origin

transit through our country that also

there have been many in the last 60 years

thousand of these children in 2014 40 thousand and 40

thousand also the subsequent years

today is a problem that we are seeing

but also with the new policies

of drugs because it impacts us a lot Mexico

because they are not letting them in

that is to say today there is a punishment

stronger for the parents of these

children many times I was seen in

the border came to these children as

a kind of letter with the address

where they had to go in the hand and the

the border police carried those

places

today that is doubly punished the

parents criminalize them then we are

seeing as it is also a covenant in these

children

mexico does not have any hostels today

suitable for these children I

enough then really that

affects even in security issues

because who are those who are there

trying to cut these children too

often organized crime that

that is taking advantage of their

vulnerabilities

I think that migration puts us today

in a global challenge

the fact that trump has decided to leave

of the agreement on migration and

refuge because really ridiculous because

it is the country that receives the most migrants and

Realistically also migrants

only Mexicans contribute at 8%

of GDP in the United States in terms

economic but without leaving aside what

we said binational families today

that we see many returning in this

deportation that was not minor either

there was a decrease but they are almost 200

thousand who returned this year counted

what do we see

many life stories beyond

numbers and these life stories that

they bring back because they have many

families that leave their children in

United States is separation and

family uprooting is part of the

consequences of drome we have seen

I even had a case of a veteran

of war deported after defending

United States

So those are not those men of the

who speaks those who are returning but

productive people young people and people who

yes cambiasso with respect to although

he won back many 80% of the

people who came back with obama

were those who in the attempt between

the United States deported him today that

we see that we have a profile instead of

border a profile earth inside people

with more roots with more heritage and with

more families in the united states which is what

that today is returning from only

6 percent of migrants

deported has a serious crime

the rest are administrative failures is

say people who brought him a license

driving is people who passed a stop

probably many times our

migrants also commit the crime of

fake the social security number

for example to work today besides

unfortunately another problem that is

doing deportation cause is the

family violence

then we see that the Latino community

has a lot this problem and good

that also implies other others

problems for example they no longer want

denounce this violence or some of

crimes committed against the

migrants for fear of approaching the

authority

There is also an abuse of lawyers who

take advantage of the uncertainty and charge

and does not solve any problem or that does not

they are really lawyers and notaries that

they also do these kinds of behaviors are

it really is a greater challenge

the migration issue on this side of the

border as we are seeing

Well, I think we’re sometimes too

racists on this side many times

when I get I want to talk to places and

they put me on twitter and they put it on my

tele finally is that because we want

help migrants who have already left

they are traitors who rather

because we do not help those who never

they have gone that they have not had either

opportunities

I think there is a reflection to be made

but what we can not do export

as a whirlpool and get equal to

stigmatize people who also if

you ask the migrants that they

they were really

If they had wanted to go from Mexico today

we also have the theme of these young people

that are children of these migrants and that

finally it’s not that they do not want mexico

they want mexico but do not know

neither mexico have lived there when you

you ask dreamer hey he knows

I know the mariachis

food but many times they do not know

not everything what this country means

and that is what I read in the newspaper

Mexico because it is a very violent country and

If I’m afraid to go there

I think that if there is a greater challenge also in

the reception that is what we are

doing not only as governments but

as Mexicans as a society as a sector

private to receive all the

migrants who return as we are going to

take better advantage of what they have acquired

the skills in the united states

how are we going to do that we also

result populations with some

problems not only of emigrants

returnees

today we see for example the case of the

Haitians in Tijuana

we also see Cubans stranded in

tamaulipas all these populations without

doubt also have a repercussion

on issues of social dynamics and

security and it is important to have a

model that is empathic and I think that

is the magic word in the subject

migratory as we have every time a

model in you and that is international and

globally and especially in Mexico as well

with these that return that is a model

empathic put yourself in the place of the other and

understand that the first thing they require

when they arrive is an emotional tension

come many times chained in the

plane and return and then the inamhi what

you want to give it a stream of triptychs

they say they do not like to read but

finally it’s not that is that the person

does not come emotionally prepared

still for that there are stages and I think that

you have to do a reintegration

social economic economic and educational

to move from a model that I think today

is based on the reception I give you a

I give you cake for your truck ticket and

go to your place of origin to one that

put the accent on the real

empathic social emotional reintegration and

educational of our migrants

I think that’s where we would have

to think of all as Mexicans and

we have to also connect the two

mexico is what we have in states

united and in Mexico that this side is on

he left and came back and never

has gone and how can we do the

hybrid projects and generate

a community also empowered better

inserted and linked in the United States

because that has also been missing for us

that is that today you can not do that is not

nothing else that he is racist but that

appa have lacked policies that

contribute to this insertion headquarters

also on that side that the

Mexicans, we have a certain power over there

like other days so he has known

do your I think the conclusion of

this little talk is like

we reflect better in a model

empathic migrants as we do not know

put in the other’s place without knowing the

different issues that have suffered and

how do you feel

today thank you very much

[Applause]
