    Narcos On The Migrant Trail Summary

    In the early 1900’s Mexican migrants were free to enter and leave the U.S. whenever they felt like it. The primary concern of the border patrol was to keep the Chinese migrants out. For the most part every person who tried to get into the U.S. and looked hispanic was allowed and never questioned. Today Mexicans or people who look hispanic are being chased after by the border patrol and are being kept out. Since the U.S. is denying entry to these illegal immigrants they are going through extreme measures to get in. Most of them end up severely injured or dead. The book The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail by Oscar Martinez talks about the experiences of these migrants which aren’t easy. Martinez goes to Mexico…

    How Is Traffik Related To Sociology

    From an ambiguous, paranoically-charged opening desert sequence (reminiscent of the crop- dusting scene in "North by Northwest"), in which Javier and his partner, Manolo (Jacob Vargas), surrender a newly captured truckload of cocaine to the corrupt general, to a late scene in which an American agent risks his life to plant a bug in a dealer's mansion, "Traffic" is an utterly gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Or rather it is several interwoven thrillers, each with its own tense rhythm and explosive payoff.…
