“Today it seems to be legal to murder and put in concentration camps thousands of our people. Our children are killed right before our eyes. Central American migrants escaping violence from the military and drug cartels are escaping for survival and no walls will stop them. For centuries, the owners of the transnational corporations have gobbled up what’s useful and expelled what’s become disposable. To do so, they have put presidents and politicians alike on their payrolls, shackling the little democracy that existed. Our race, the human race, is slowly being eliminated. Only a select few will survive. Why? Because, we are no longer useable to our rulers — driverless trucks, automated banks, robot-driven factories need very few workers. We are witnessing and entering a new epoch. Either we start dealing with this new situation, or we will perish. — Manuel Torres, from the Valley of Tears (Rio Grande Valley)
