- Throughout history, human beings, especially the global poor, have been in constant movement. Huerta says we should view this migration as a universal human right and treat honest, hard-working immigrants with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
Dr. Alvaro Huerta is an Assistant Professor at Cal Poly Pomona with a joint appointment in Urban & Regional Planning and Ethnic & Women’s Studies. While he earned his B.A. (history) and M.A. (urban planning) from UCLA, he also earned his doctorate (city & regional planning) from UC Berkeley. His work is at the crossroads of community development, economic development, social movements, Chicana/o-Latina/o studies, and more. He is the author of the book Reframing the Latino Immigration Debate: Towards a Humanistic Paradigm. Married to his wife Antonia, Dr. Huerta is the son of Mexican immigrants from the beautiful state of Michoacán.

Bravo! Thank you for sharing this very important work! I for one am thankful! Keep it up! Dr. Bert Maria Cueva
Some LEGAL migration is indeed a very good thing. But countries have a RIGHT to control the flow of migrants into their countries. Citizens have a right to determine their own country's immigration policies.
@Manuel Camelo Why?
Not on Stolen Lands,........its still a Colonization of another's Country or Ancestral Lands,......if the Country has Open Obligations then it should be Dealt with First before any Claims of Rights on Immigration,.....etc,
Uhm, it's illegal to bar ANYONE from migrating from one chunk of land to another as it goes against human nature. We as a species were never designed to remain stagnant and are within our rights to go to a different chunk of land if we so choose. Barring people from moving to a new chunk of land (or as you probably see it, a country) rips away our most basic human rights in exchange for the idiotic ideology of countries and nations, something who's sole purpose is to have control over the 8 BILLION people around the world.
I fully 100% support legal immigration. I fully 100% denounce illegal immigration human trafficking
Yes, but the current legal migration is not fair, it leaves out the people who really need to migrate
Dr. Huerta,
I'm sure you're too busy and too intelligent to ever read this comment section that has been bombarded by ignorance and bigotry. Unfortunately, people only hear what they want to head and don't actually listen. Again, thank you for your wise words. You are a real inspiration and I admire your work.
Yes, they migrated. They called it "war".
If migration is a universal right then what is defending your home and culture? Every group defends its own.
Amen! Answer that question Alvaro!
Next step, everybody coming into your home is a human right! ;)

“And look at how the country is paying them back.”
Wait wait wait, I’m sorry. What in the HE** do we OWE you??
2:55
I think YOU are the ones EXPLOITING THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER!!!!
Does this bloke have a lock on the door of his house? Does he protect the stuff that he has worked to pay for? I expect to be allowed to leave the fruits of my labour to my own descendants and I accord the same right to my forebears who built my country's wealth:- the roads, mines, ports, farms, electrical and phone networks, and my country's institutions:- the health, education, political and welfare systems.
You do not get it. Stop and reflect on your ignorance. Plus, check your privilege! Enough with the hate.
I get that those who support mass migration do so because of their greed. Population increase pushes up the value and cost of land in the cities,which is great for those who own land. They make a huge capital gain. Flooding a country with men of working age increases the demand for jobs, which depresses wages, so bigger profits for businesses. We have seen this happen in Australia. The recently arrived also buy imported goods, which is bad for our current account deficit.
Check my privilege? The wealth of white people derives from their inventiveness, not from the exploitation of people in other continents. 'Resources' are worthless until they are dug up and processed. It was the white man's British-led industrial revolution that made the world's minerals valuable.
The most inhumane men in the world are those who start more babies when they are not able to provide an acceptable future to the children they already have. Such men are not worthy of anyone's respect.
Refugees come from places in the world where the people have not restrained their reproduction the way that white countries have. How is it fair that people who have restrained the size of their own families should be required to make sacrifices for the benefit of men who have behaved like apes and dogs?
Let then in, so they can destroy your life AVD your country.
The pol who built ur country are thieves lol, they might’ve managed the finances and mandated for genocides but they did not do the manual labor themselves, immigrants did.
Great talk!!! Give them imigrants a voice!! Tell their storys!!! Thank you so much for that!!
I have a lock on the door of my house to protect the stuff that I have worked to pay for. I do not allow strangers to move into my house to share my stuff and have children in my house. Borders are the national equivalent of doors on houses. Migrants have their own countries and their own resources. They should be required to adjust their population size to their economies. Stop having children tif you can't provide a future for them.
Proud to be his student
BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT WANTS TO GIVE YOU MORE BENEFITS THAN THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE AND PAYING TAXES ALL OF THEIR LIVES!!! WHAT HAVE YOU PAID???
This man's mother had nine children. Fertility causes poverty. People who have restrained their own reproduction should not have to support the excessive progeny of selfish greedy people who refuse to reproduce responsibly.
If migration is a human right then, logically, the country that is the goal of migration has a human right to stop migrants. It's just as a homeowner has the right to reject a trespasser. Every country has a right to establish laws relating to migration. The USA, contrary to what some people believe, is an immigrant country that has established laws relating to immigration. The USA has 200+ years of successful immigration. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website says that the USA has welcomed more than 7.4 million naturalized citizens into our nation. That's NOT a record of "anti-immigration". These new citizens have learned about our laws, form of government, customs, language. Some of them know more about our laws than many natural born citizens.
I agree. My wife is a legal migrant. The first thing she told me is she will not even consider coming to the United States of America unless she can do it legally. And she did, just like everyone else should and is encouraged to do
@@badgerfishinski6857 Exactly right. I have a copy of my dad's naturalization certificate. He's been dead since 1951 but came here as a boy.
When people choose to come here, learn the laws, customs, language, follow the pertinent laws/rules . . . that is immigration. When people come here without doing these things . . . that is an invasion and they do that at their peril.
I thought this was about migration, sadly I just found a guy talking about united States and Mexico. I'm disappointed
the 19 minutes i won't be getting back :(
It is a very simple issue and concern. You come here flying your country's flag that is an invasion. If you want migrate to another country you should seek to assimilate to the morals and values of that country. If you want to fly your flag stay in your own country and fix your own problems. As a citizen of the United States, we have enough problems we can't even resolve. So with this, the more migrants we take in the more issues we will not be capable of resolving so that we can have a sustainable nation.
No, that is an Invasion to " You ",....! You Dont get the Point,...!!!
Migrants use roads, schools, hospitals bridges, water and power distribution networks, that neither they, nor their parents and grandparents paid for. They create a need for more infrastructure that all taxpayers have to pay for, not just the newcomers that make it necessary.
The migration that is going on in the world now, is nearly all one-way.
Does Mr Huerta have a lock on his door? Does he allow anyone who wants to, to move into his home to share the shelter, space and stuff that he has worked to pay for?
The first British settlers who sailed into Australia didn't move into an established society with infrastructure and institutions in place, and demand a share of the wealth that another culture had built, like modern migrants do. The British had to start from scratch. They didn't sail into a rich country. The early waves of migrants who built Australia's wealth, deserve to be allowed to leave the fruits of their labour to their own descendants, including those very few who were not from Europe.
Another difference: the colonizers committed genocide, today’s immigrants don’t ;)
Unless they are doctors, that their own countries need, immigrants don't increase the life expectancy of native peoples. The British takeover did. Modern Aborigines have a longer life expectancy than did their ancestors living the hunter/gatherer lifestyle. @@lisamar6926
Lisa Mar. The native people's of Australia gained their occupancy by killing other Aborigines. And they participated in the genocide. There was never any Aboriginal nation, just lots of different groups speaking lots of different languages, trading with and fighting against each other, just like the nation-states of medieval Europe.
After having Australia all to themselves for 40,000 plus years, there were no more than a million of them, spread over the whole continent. Clearly their children weren't making it to adulthood, or they were being periodically decimated by drought, or they were killing each other off. Probably all three.
We have the eye-witness testimony of a white man, who lived with the Aborigines for more than 30 years in Victoria, before they had much contact with whites. His memoirs show that they were a violent society.
In the last century, the Australian Aboriginal population has been growing at fifty times the rate it did in pre-colonisation days, showing that the colonisers have SAVED the Aborigines from their violent traditional societies.
Can we discuss the right with china japan russia? Can we discuss the right with Saudi Arabia iran ?
Well, china has 0% immigrants! Sweden has many! But immigrants hate sweden but love china!
Xd
Only, it isn't a universal human right. And if you think about it for more than ten seconds, you realise it cannot and should not be so. People like this guy are dangerous, because they're incapable of distinguishing between the World as they believe it should be, and as it really is. People like that, have caused untold misery throughout the ages.
Does this man have a lock on the door of his house? Does he keep for himself the stuff that he has worked to pay for? If he received a legacy from his parents, does he give it away to anyone who demands it? America's roads, houses, hospitals ports etc are her wealth that has been bought and paid for by the American born. Migrants get the benefit of all the native born American taxes the second they step into the country. It is years before a migrant's taxes amount to anything near the benefits they have enjoyed from the minute they arrived.
Word,.......if the Native Populous aren't Happy and Did Not Condone this Behavior of a Foreign Ideology a Wall,......then that's an Indication it Doesn't Belong,.....!!!
The moment he said "meh-he-co" I was like. no... I just can't.
Why does it bother you to hear the name of the country as it is intended to be pronounced?
ethnocentrism is makes us weak against the super rich.
migration is cheap labor and makes....
#1. Your _right_ to emigrate _ends_ at your country's border.
#2. You want to immigrate to the US? Get in line and do it _legally._
#3. You want to immigrate out of Mexico? _Try Canada or Japan_ - they'll never let you in because those countries enforce their immigration laws - as the US should.
#4. Stay in your _own_ country and _fix_ the problems which caused you to emigrate in the first place.
When you are a christian born and living in a muslim country, how can you possible fix the problem of christian-phobia?
Ok but why are we still using immigrants to pick crops to keep our prices low? or immigrants to do jobs no one else wants to?
Also, what papers did the colonists have when they came to a land that wasn't theirs? Fleeing problems they most certainly didn't stay behind to fix
Migration has been the fuel of human advancement... Europeans migrated to the "New" world, now some of the descendants of the native Americans are moving around the continent and people can't handle it. Just imagine this is how the native Americans felt when boat loaded with foreigners kept arriving.
Oh I'm sure he's housing several Ukrainian Asylum Seekers tonight. ROFL
Socialist flee from socialist countries to vote for socialism in this country. We cant have that not with my money or my children's money. Go fix your own country then lets talk.
No, it is NOT.
