Hip Hop Tune on the Mexican Immigrant Experience
To listen to a hip hop song describing the Mexican immigrant experience, click here. The song’s name is Mexican People (The Force of the Eagle). Here is a description from the composer, Esteban Constante, an ex-political science student and musician:
[Thge song is] about the problems that mexicans have as immigrants. I would like to think as all immigrants but I don’t really know first hand their experiences. I know what’s my mother living right now there, the discrimination, the hate, the lack of good works although she finished a degree here the US ain’t recognizing it. So it’s all fucked up. There’s no options for mexicans in the “Land of the American Dream” And they were talking about the wall. Fuck that, walls won’t stop us. They didn’t stop some jews from escaping the ghettos of the nazis, it didn’t stop the mongols from conquering, it won’t stop the palestinians that are experiencing the same with Israel and it won’t stop the mexicans. YOU (USA) NEED US
