"ALTO AL FUEGO" - JUANA ALICIA - 1988

La Comunidad aims to portray the Hispanic community of (but not limited to) North San Andreas.

 

The last two decades, the clandestine migration of Mexicans and Central Americans through the Tamaulipas-Texas route has had ups and downs thanks to the economy, and surveillance put into this route. This however has not stopped the so-called "Coyotes" from limiting their presence in the area.

What could be the link between the organized crime and the clandestine migration?

You may ask, in my experience, the link takes visibility through the "Coyotes" as they are most of the time linked to someone else, they are, what they call in Mèxico, "apadrinados". They are untouchable and they are paying thousands of dollars to someone directly associated to a criminal group known as "La Maña". Beyond the ethnographic and contemporary narratives referring to "La Maña", we present you with the real name of the criminal group in charge of this whole clandestine movement. With approximately 350 kilometers of longitude, the route between Tamaulipas and Texas represents almost a 10% of the whole US-Mexico border. It is a region with a lengthy story of drug trafficking, homicide, human trafficking and so on and someone always controls it. A Northern city of Mèxico is heavily influenced economic wise by this whole route. Sinaloa.

The fresh immigrant will do anything for some cash, they do not only have to support themselves, but their entire families. Some of them have families of at least ten members, it's not an easy task but they manage to pull through.
