      This article relates to our course topics because it discusses the impacts of migration in Latin America. After reading this article, it is clear that migration and the effort to generate remittances is not always a positive act. Unfortunately, many children are left without their parents along with feelings of abandonment.

    This article states how the costs of migration in Latin America outweigh the rewards concerning the lives of children. Many children in the region endure negative impacts from their parents' migration to generate remittances. UNICEF claims that migration laves children with feelings of abandonment and vulnerability; the children's role models (their parents) are absent from their lives.

  • The tragic journey of Vásquez Chaj and Tucux Chiché is one story among many of how harmful U.S. political and economic policies in Latin America violently intersect with a hardening and brutal system of U.S. immigration control.
  • It is indisputable that the United States shares significant responsibility for the genocide of tens of thousands of Guatemalans—mainly indigenous Mayans, including members of Gustavo and Maximiliano’s community, who comprised a majority of the (at least) 150,000 killed in the 1980s alone. A 1999 UN Truth Commission blamed Guatemalan state forces for 93 percent of the atrocities. That same year, former President Bill Clinton admitted the wrongness of U.S. support for Guatemalan state violence.

  • The U.S. formally cut off military aid to Guatemala in 1977, though U.S. funding flowed at normal levels through the early 1980s and Guatemala enjoyed enormous military support, by proxy, through U.S. client states such as Israel, Taiwan, and South Africa.
  • “Psychologists would say that a guilt complex can lead to two reactions. One is acceptance and the desire to change. The other reaction is to indulge in more of the very thing that you have the sense of guilt about.”
