Reneging on the Great Migration

Many thousands of undocumented immigrants in the US were forced out of their home countries by NAFTA and invited in by corporations and agribusiness seeking cheap labor.  Now they are being punished by anti-immigrant laws and sentiment.  Manuel Perez, a scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, talks about all this and more with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick.   Perez writes for Foreign Policy in Focus.  (Image by Flickr user Korean Resource Center (cc: by-nc-sa))
