"In this work, I seek to reclaim the image of the migrant
that the President of the United States has tarnished. It is
said that every political campaign needs a hero and a
villain to unify voters in their disdain for a specific social
group. This is why the Mexican migrant has been explicitly used as a campaign slogan, pointing to them as
the source of America’s problems. However, the migrant is a hero who drives the economy
of the United States and is committed to sending money
back to their families in Mexico. This reflects a
fundamental aspect of Mexican humanism; in 2023,
remittances sent by Mexicans to their families were the
first source of income for the nation, illustrating that
Mexicans think not just individually but collectively and
with family in mind.
They do not leave their homeland by choice; rather, they
seek opportunities absent in sectors like agriculture,
which has been neglected by past neoliberal governments. They also flee from the violence that afflicts marginalized towns and cities. They leave their families behind to put bread on the table and have earned the reputation of being hard-working and honorable people.
This is why, in this work, I proudly and virtuously present
the image of the migrant."
R. Landini
