Define the term agency and explain how individuals in the video entitled The Other Side of Immigration taking agency?
What responsibility does the Mexican government have to support Mexican farmers? In what ways would Mexican government support of Mexican farmers change the immigration pattern?
What are the consequences for families in Mexico when millions of Mexicans migrate to the U.S.?
The term Agency means when someone is taking power of their own volition. For example when someone is hungry and they take agency and get food. The individuals in the video entitle The Other Side of Immigration taking agency as the Mexican government not being able to provide for the people and therefore pushes out the Mexican workers to migrate to America and work for better pay. The Mexican migrants are pulled into a new country that gives them a better promise of a job, and this is known as the Push and Pull factors of Agency. The responsibility that the Mexican government has to support Mexican farmers is not really there for them because of the lack of capital.

Without capital the economy in Mexico is lacking and if they were to get support from the government their would definitely be less immigrants from Mexico. The Mexican government also does not inform it's people so it's very hard for the workers to support their own government. The consequences or sort of drawbacks for families in Mexico when millions of Mexicans migrate to the U.S. is that the kids are not able to see their fathers for many years and some don't even come back. The wives of the immigrants are also left to worry about how they get into the country with the fear of the desert travel and the wild animals that are out there. Some children of the workers that leave for the U.S. don't have a father figure to put them in their place and are left to abuse drugs and turn to gangs as a family.
