    The old city of Tenochtilàn is not what it used to be. To begin with, it has a new name: Mexico City or the doomed city as people would like to put it. But it is not doomed on account of a joint Russian-Chinese invasion. No, it’s doomed because of what it is, and let me tell you, Mexico City is something. To fathom the sheer massiveness of the cities current population and density is to sit in awe and wonder if the people are squashed into large anchovy tins. Many factors led to the sad state that is Mexico’s today. Major population growth and the negative effects of geography and climate affected Mexico City dearly. Pollution and the housing crisis also took a toll on the City and its people. But the real question is, how did these factors lead to getting the City in possible peril?

    For Mexicans, the general reason to migrate is for pure economy reasons. For Cubans and Guatemalans, the main reason is to escape from persecution at home and seek refugee status in the United States. For Indigenous communities, it is generally a combination of the two. But often or not, the poor and unlivable conditions in the home country are just too much to bear. They are often so horrible that not only are men and women willing to face and in some cases, die to reach the United States but, as dramatized in “Victoria para Chino”, so too do the children of migrant parents. Upon crossing the border, many migrants discover that the much-hyped notion that the US is a land of opportunity or plentiful work is not true. Migrants, unlike citizens, have far fewer choices to employment options such as agriculture and service jobs. Generally, these jobs provide low pay and are some of the most economically vulnerable during economic downturns. If a migrant cannot find stable work, he is often forced onto the streets as a jornalero. A jornalero is basically a day laborer that seeks work on street corners.
