Binational Migration of Indigenous Communities

The early 1980’s saw a huge migration of Oaxacan indigenous communities to the United States (US), where entire families would cross the border to enter a foreign land that was far different from their own, but that at last offered a better economic situation. Once they arrived, they saw that you can survive for a week on a day’s work, while in Mexico you would have to work an entire week to be able to survive one day. Also, you have access to a bed, refrigerator, stove, car and even the famous television, luxuries we can not afford in our communities.
