5:02 am
estados unidos, la gran potencia imperialista del norte, the united states, the great imperialist power of the north presents itself as the country of opportunities, of democracy. the place where they have even built a monument for immigrants.
5:03 am
5:04 am
it's every time that there is some internal contradiction that there are so many of, especially of social nature, who is blamed for everything, is to blame for everything in the mainstream media, the immigrant who lives there, supposedly takes away the work of the native worker and employee, but the truth of the matter.
5:05 am
such remarks are cynical and of double standard, on the other hand, the official agencies of the united states constantly make calls to professional scientists in areas such as engineering, architecture and medicine, to emigrate and to immediately be given a residence visa with all the rights, there are the theeves of brains, the brains that should remain for development in our countries.
5:06 am
5:07 am
they prevent us from having a factory and having our own companies based on raw materials. and when we arrive in the northern country, we are rejected.
5:08 am
5:09 am
yes, this issue is not limited to one reason, and there are many reasons for it. we can say that in the past years, the issue of economic problems were raised, the lack of ability earn a living in their own land, lack of work, etc., but in addition to the issue of lack of work in countries where people have no choice, there is also the issue of security. the issue of security is the most important thing in our countries known as central america, where unfortunately there is a situation of violence and security and this situation has caused migration and displacement of people from these areas in many places, these journeys are very long and they cause many casualties, and people on these journeys are looking for better life and better security conditions and a different kind of life, but unfortunately
5:10 am
they face conditions that put their lives in danger. some immigrants say that we have nothing to lose here because we don't have this security countries, we don't have a... job that guarantees us decent life, and i think one of the main reasons for this condition is honor. these people who come on foot and whose goal it is to create better living conditions for the family that accompanies them, and also for the family that is waiting for them in their own country, they seek honor and dignity. yes, the issue of honor, you're right. "well, our nations have had a hard time in our countries in terms of dignity, in a way that we have had the monroe doctrine for 200 years, which says "america" for the americans, and it seems to mean "latin america" for the americans, united states, that is, yeah, i
5:11 am
better put it this way, and they still haven't forgotten about it, but only these days do they just use crimes. for example, what is happening in ecuador? "we must also address the issue of ecuador at some point. practically we see that in countries that do not have industry, there's no honorable job either, and therefore, when you're without an honorable life and without an identity, they somehow impose the american way of thinking and living on us, and the us presents itself as a country of opportunities and freedom where everyone can live so-called good life. what is your opinion about this factor of this?"
5:12 am
the living conditions of their people, but they lost everything, they wanted to make a change and make progress, historically countries like our country had factories and produced raw material. this issue, as you said, well, goes back to the distant years, 200 years, and when we were talking about gold and silver, but today we're talking about other issues and other natural resources that are taken from these countries to develop their industries and then force us to consume their products to achieve so called honorable life, a concept that they refer to as a good life, but policy destroys the lives of nations and deprives them of their own natural resources and under such
5:13 am
conditions they're forced to leave their land and pursue the american dream. there is still this way of thinking that there is better life out there and the type of life there will be different, but what happens is that our compatriots somehow become slaves of work. es que son esclavos eh del trabajo desde otra forma, así es.
5:14 am
un trabajo bastante importante desde la propia asamblea no de derechos humanos. for example, education and health, they have to do lot of work to be recognized as
5:15 am
residence, and they have long working hours, for what in order to be able to live there, pay rent and provide other necessities of a relatively comfortable life, and most importantly to be able to send money to their countries. we call this money remittances. so what happens in america is that there are no honorable conditions for people. this condition does not exist. "there are also people who do not have residence documents and have to hide and look for some kind of work that is possible for them. they could work for the economic development of their own countries. therefore, this lifestyle in the american dream is not an honorable condition in our opinion. on the surface, it is an act to send remittances to our countries, but in reality and above all, it is for the benefit of america, because our countrymen are exploited. porque nuestras eh
5:16 am
paisanas paisanos pues viven largas horas de explotación. most immigrants live in the american nightmare, that is racism and lack of medical attention, because all the people have documents, even if they get sick, they're afraid to go to the hospital or anywhere else, because they might be... this is the same issue of exploitation that you pointed out so well as how does mexico as a government as well as mexican social organizations communicate with immigrants who are constantly passing through mexico what conditions are there what do people think about them and what is the approach of mexican social organizations union.
5:17 am
is a hatred, but on the other hand, immigrants arriving areas of our country that are poor and live in the outskirts of cities like mexico city in the state of mexico as well as in wahara. they pass through areas where they're accepted. residents of these areas belong to social classes that have a close identity with the immigrants. but on the other hand, we're facing movement that says immigrants should leave their country because they don't look good, they're dirty and we don't want them. and on the other hand, there are other people who are against this approach. it's very ridiculous, like
5:18 am
colonies and places that welcome immigrants. they give whatever they have to the immigrants, food, and other supplies, they even share their culture of life with the immigrants, immigrants dance or music, eat or food, so there seems to be an exchange and very good act that some areas welcome immigrants, for example the veracruz crossing, which we have heard lot about, i don't know if you're familiar with this area or not, there supervisers, that is women who are organized that are ready for the immigrant trains that pass through, they feed them and have a large. cantine and shelter, which can be used by those who go on foot. therefore, i believe that the society, the neighborhoods and organizations that have taken actions in solidarity and in companionship with immigrants, because our own family members are immigrants. in mexico, the majority of our country's population has an uncle, aunt or a first degree relative who
5:19 am
is an immigrant, an immigrant who was forced to come to america so that their families could move forward. therefore there is an approach by the right that is not beautiful. for example, the behavior we witness in texas is completely racist and supremacist, that presents immigrants as criminals and does not care that their human beings who live in such conditions just because they're looking for better living conditions in other countries.
5:20 am
in the migration path, as i said in the beginning, organized crime that we unfortunately see in ecuador as well as in honduras, guatemala and panama, we also face the conditions of organized crime in mexico, they trap immigrants who are passing through our country, they arrest them, kill them, rape them and exterminate them. there is even an organization of mesaso american, women for the disappeared, whose work focuses on the disappeared. from other countries who are passing through mexico, this is a catastrophic issue, this is the condition they come and face, and another issue is health and economic issues for those who pass and even lose their lives. many people take the desert crossing and may die there. i've also seen that at many times in history in recent years, the border patrols shoots
5:21 am
immigrants who are still in mexico. this is one side of the story, but side we have those who return to our country from there. i learned about the case of several girls in wahara who do not speak the language of their community. they were not born in mexico, they were deported because they did not have the documents. this is why they face a different culture. some people receive them very well and some people take a long time to understand. mexico is a country and they knew it through the stories of their parents.
5:22 am
to work and return, but no one can guarantee classification was made for those who can go they will return after work. anyway, this idea has been proposed, i will allow you to go to work for six months and come back, and on the other hand, not all immigrants who pass through mexico will have the opportunity to go to work in america, and on the other hand, measures at the borders are intensifying, especially on the border with texas, where the representa representative and the governor himself said that the border patrol can shoot any immigrant who does not have an identification document and a caravan has been formed in which the views and members of the...
5:23 am
thank you, elsa from mexico, human rights leader and activist. this is black and white. in this week's show, we'll be exposing the activities of an israeli lobby group operating in spain, calling itself action and communication on the middle east, which is usually referred to by its initials acom. there was a part. done byugav at the end of 2023 with found that essentially spain was the the most pro- palestinian country in western europe um in terms of public opinion,
5:24 am
so this is the country where you pay a relatively low political price for speaking out for palestine, in spain of course there is an islamophobic party, the vox party, i was refer to go as a rump party, and and uh this acom group is very quite close to to volks and that's an indication really the kind of tradition of islamophobia which... pulls through this: in late 2023, south africa filed case at the international court of justice (icj) over the israeli apart regime's genocidal war against palestinians in the besieg gaza strip. south africa stated that the televive regime has failed to uphold its commitments under the 1948 genocide convention. south africa failed. against the israeli regim at the end of december, noting that israel's actions in gaza that started last october are genuciding character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the
5:25 am
palestinian national, racial and ethnic group. we have a special guest to discuss the topic today. he's none other than south african ambassador to iran, his excellency dr. francis molloy. thank you, mr. ambassador for your time today. thank you very much for inviting me, mubarak. it's a pleasure to be here. let me start with the us economy, um, we have very strong outlook, the us. for the united states, i think he has this right, israel is
5:26 am
kind of permanent, permanently anchored um aircraft carrier and his purposes to uh ensure that us foreign policies in the in the middle east are carried out fall uh in the... and economic activity of something like 80%. i believe that working together we can make histories.
5:27 am
5:28 am
5:29 am
information about palestine abounds on social networks, many times without context. they do not allow us to go deeper and understand all the dimensions of a catastrophe that is dragging on for centuries. daniel hodway, chilean mayor of palestinian origin, opens a window to palestine to understand in depth the present cause of the palestinian people, exploring its history and future prospects. do not miss a window to palestine.
5:30 am
