US Neo-Colonialism and Migration to El Norte

The forum’s objective is to increase understandings of the root causes of migration, highlight the centrality of US interventions (e.g., military, foreign investment, and labor recruitment) in causing migrations to the north. Significantly, the U.S. one-sided framing about why people migrate to el norte, emphasizes poverty, violence, corrupt governments, and lack of human rights… However, missing from the full picture is the marginalization of migrant-sending countries to the United States by its expansionism and domination of the Americas going back to the Monroe Doctrine 1823.  Click for more information.
