na Todd Miller, Open Media Series, City Light Books, ʻAukake 19, 2021

"Ke kūkulu ʻana i nā alahaka, ʻaʻole nā ​​paia," ka mea kākau nūhou palena, ʻo kā Todd Miller puke puke hou loa aʻoi loa ia, e kū nei i ka honua. A kū ʻole. Ma nā ʻaoʻao mua ua wehewehe ʻo Miller i kahi hālāwai me Juan Carlos ma ke ala wao nahele he iwakālua mile ma ka ʻākau o ka palena US-Mexico. Nalu ʻo Juan iā ia i lalo. Luhi a maloʻo ʻo Juan i noi iā Miller no ka wai a holo i ke kaona kokoke. "He lawena hewa ʻole paha ia no ka" rula o ke kānāwai "e kōkua iā Juan Carlos ma ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ia i kahi kaʻa. Akā inā ʻaʻole wau i hana, e like me ka palapala hemolele, ka hana ʻuhane, a me ka lunamanaʻo, he mea ia e uhaʻi ai i ke kānāwai kiʻekiʻe.

Lilo i kēia manawa nui i mantra no nā ʻaoʻao 159 i koe o ka puke. Ma waena o nā mea anuanu paʻakikī, ʻike hou ʻia nā ʻike mai nā ʻano nui, a me nā moʻolelo pilikino, Juan Carlos. Pinepine.

Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻo Miller i kāna puke i loko o ʻelua mau ʻōlelo: A ma aneʻi e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi mea nani, kahi kanaka, mai nā ʻāpana i haki. ”

Kahi mea a haʻi aku ʻo Miller i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa kaulana i lalo o ka US bipartisan. kulekele palekana palekana. ʻO kahi maʻamau ʻo “he mau miula lāʻau lākou āpau.” He hōʻike aupuni pekelala ʻo Miller i hoʻopau ʻia a hiki i ka 90 pākēneka o nā lāʻau lapaʻau i komo i loko o ka US. hele mai ma nā awa komo. ʻAʻole ka wao nahele a ma kēlā ʻaoʻao hoʻi o ka muliwai ʻo Rio Grande. ʻO Narco-capitalism, ʻoiai ke kaua i kapa ʻia ʻo ke kaua i nā lāʻau, ʻo ia ke ala nui o ka hana ʻana i ka ʻoihana. "ʻO nā panakō nui i hopu ʻia a uku ʻia no ia hana kālā holoi kālā ʻana - akā ʻaʻole loa ia i kapa ʻia ʻo nā mea kūʻai lāʻau lāʻau-e like me Wells Fargo, HSBC, a me Citibank, e inoa i kekahi mau mea."

"Lawe lākou i kā mākou mau hana." ʻO kekahi kauoha ʻē aʻe. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo Miller i ka mea heluhelu i kahi hōʻike 2018 mai ka US. ʻO ka Bureau of Labor Statistics e hōʻike nei mai ka hoʻokō ʻana o NAFTA i 1994, US. ua hōʻole nā ​​hana hana e 4.5 miliona, me 1.1 miliona o nā nalo i pili i ka ʻaelike kalepa. ʻO ia nā multinationals i hele i nā palena a lawe i nā hana hema me lākou ʻoiai e heʻe ana ka poʻe malihini.

A hewa? "ʻO ke aʻo ʻana ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana ua hōʻike ka pilina pilikino / hewa ma ke ʻano he kaʻao, he kolohe paha ia, ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻokahuli i nā hoʻokolokolo hou ʻana o ka hewa a no ke aha ia. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka anti-immigrant, pro wall ad Advacy e nā hoʻoilina o ke kiʻekiʻe keʻokeʻo. "

Kūkā pū ʻo Miller i ke ʻano bipartisan o ka kulekele palekana palena. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia he 650 mau mile o ka palena palena o US-Mexico ma mua o ka hoʻoponopono Trump. Ua koho balota ʻo Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, a me Joe Biden no ke kānāwai Secure Fence of 2006. Hoʻokani ke keʻena palena-ʻoihana i nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua e like me ka pila. ʻAʻole malihini kekahi o nā mea pāʻani kī i nā mea hoʻoulu kaua: Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Raytheon a me Elbit Systems, e inoa i kekahi mau mea.

"No nā makahiki he kanahā, ua piʻi aʻe nā moʻohelu kālā a me nā hoʻokele imigration, i kēlā me kēia makahiki, me ka nīnau liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka kūkākūkā lehulehu ʻana ... i ka makahiki 1980, ʻo ka palena makahiki a me ka hoʻolālā hoʻokele he $ 349 miliona." Ma 2020 ua ʻoi aku kēia kālā ma $ 25 biliona. Hoʻonui ʻia he 6,000 pakeneka. "ʻO ka ʻōnaehana neʻe palena palena he bipartisan, a pono e haʻalele i ka hoʻopau ʻana mai ka manaʻo partisan."

Ma hea nā ʻāpana ʻo "Building Bridges, Not Walls" me ka nui o nā puke palena i ka inoa piha. " He Huakaʻi I Ka Honua Ma waho o nā Pā. ” Ua hoʻopuka ʻo Miller i kahi nīnau mai ka akeakamai a me ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Bayo Akomolafe: "He aha ke ʻano o ka honua maka a nani hoʻi e waiho ana ma ʻō aku o nā pā a me nā paia e hoʻopaʻa wale ai i ko mākou kino, akā i ko mākou manaʻo, kā mākou ʻōlelo, a me kā mākou lāhui ponoʻī?" Kono ʻo Miller iā mākou e hoʻokuʻu iā mākou iho mai "US. kūkākūkā a me kāna mau palena papaha claustrophobic o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he debatable a me nā mea ʻaʻole ”

Kono ʻia ka mea heluhelu e noʻonoʻo ma waho o ka noʻonoʻo o ka paia, ma ʻō aku o kā mākou "maʻi paia." Aia nā alahaka. "ʻO nā alahaka paha he naʻau, noʻonoʻo, a me nā ʻuhane ... kekahi mea e pili ana kekahi i kekahi." ʻIke wale mākou iā lākou. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia iā mākou i ka ʻike a Angela Davis: “Ua huli aʻe nā paia i ʻaoʻao a he mau alahaka.”

Hāʻawi ʻo Miller i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo, a ukali me nā nīnau: "He aha inā e ʻae mākou iā mākou iho e noʻonoʻo i kahi honua me ka ʻole o nā palena? He aha inā inā e ʻike mākou i nā palena e like me nā paʻa, ʻaʻole like me nā pale kaua, akā ma ke ʻano he shackles e mālama nei i ka honua i kahi kūlana kūpono ʻole o ka hoʻokaʻawale lāhui, a me ka pōʻino o ke aniau. Pehea mākou e hoʻololi ai i nā kūlana ma lalo o nā palena a me nā paia e lilo i mau pane i nā pilikia? Pehea e lilo ai kēia i papahana politika kūpono? Pehea e hiki ai i ka lokomaikaʻi ke hoʻokahuli i nā paia? ” He puke aloha paʻakikī kēia. ʻAʻohe manaʻolana haʻahaʻa, e hōʻoki ana i ka ʻaʻa. Aia ka poepoe i ka hale o nā lehulehu. ʻO kā mākou

"ʻO ke kūkulu ʻana i nā alahaka, ʻaʻole nā ​​paia e kahe mai ka launa alanui serendipitous a Todd Miller me Juan Carlos. "ʻIke au i kēia manawa i koʻu kānalua i ka wao nahele ma mua o Juan Carlos ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona ʻo wau ka mea e pono ai ke kōkua. ʻO wau ka mea e pono e hoʻomaopopo i ka honua i kahi ala hou. " Pēlā i hoʻomaka ai kāna huakaʻi i kahi honua me ka palena ʻole. I kēia manawa ua kono ʻo ia iā mākou e hui pū me ia.
