The other day I reflected on the characteristics of new immigrants and migrants living within American borders, in which I included several phases that must take place on the road toward assimilation. However, exploitation of labor is a primary concern within the transition from immigrant to American citizen. Throughout the chapter there is mention of the great necessity of migrant work regarding the Mexican labor force, however this work that is somewhat seen as a much needed value is quite subjective in regards to necessity. For instance, in times of labor shortage the American workforce profited from the work of Mexicans, which provided the members of the culture with access to resources that may have been unattainable otherwise. However, when resources were limited concerning the workforce industry, Mexican labor was easily disposed and disregarded as meaningless causing a displacement of workers with little to any share of resources that were of use to the culture’s sustainment. The act of disposing the labor, not only marginalizes the group but takes advantage of one’s labor contribution belittling it to merely an instrumental value, which can be mass produced at the will of the elite or the powerful who are holding the cards. The truth of the matter is the only thing of value concerning one’s work is one’s individual contribution through their labor, because they lack rights to any proportion of materials produced through that labor, therefore to treat one’s only attribute as just instrumentally valuable reduces the worth of the labor force, and exploits the workers through creating a system in which the needs of the worker are lacking in satisfaction.
