Description

Surname 1 Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date The Devils Highway (by Luis Alberto Urrea) Multiple citizen's activities can express a guide of various historical moments in search of political and social freedom as well as equality. Therefore, illegal migrations marked some of these activities with many others, which broke the laws of the country in search of economic stability in the richer countries. Concerning the Devil’s Highway, it has focused on some of the activities that address broader issues in the community (Urrea, n.p). The author (Urrea) used catastrophe to go through immigration from a diversified perspective while addressing these issues. He gave the title of his book a scary topic (The Devil's Highway) to refer to a group of men who attempted to cross a border from Mexico into the southern Arizona of America through the deadliest region called the Devil's Highway whereby they believed that even the border patrol could not manage to travel. Generally, Urrea based this book on a true story that talks about the illegal immigration of Mexicans. They ended up with a complex system of betrayal by their guides, their own country, and their entire destination. In a real sense, Mexican immigrant's voyage to cross into the US has not been a new sensation to their history; however, many indications of the initiative has transformed in a dramatic view from Urrea's overview of gangs and mob families into the US on his book. It has shown that walkers and immigrants across these borders into the US have had little or no success whereby the once migrating are set of innocent, uneducated, and desperate to earn money, respect, and status on the neighboring country (Venbrux, n.p).

In the book, Urrea used the desolation and conditions the migrating people faced to refer to their madness that led them to an open space that spelled their death (Venbrux, n.p). They are overwhelming, and traveling victims of a wide-open landscape offer plenty of indication for reasons why undocumented migrants endanger their survival in the deserts of Arizona. Besides, the story acknowledges the patrol agents being involved in destroying undocumented people's journeys to escape economic violence that is a result of imperialism and globalization of the US (Venbrux, n.p). The border patrol agents have no idea of the challenges they are contributing to the illegal immigrants as they are in their line of duty to realize the regret to the immigrants’ compassion that is with pain and suffering towards the US entrance due to their marginalized positions in their community. It is most important to note that despite the story focusing on the border and migration, it has an authoritative context that addresses concerns of the source of the problem of the Mexicans who tries to cross the borders (Andreescu, 189). There is a clear message that immigration systems are rotten and require to be addressed on multiple fronts to prevent the tragic death of pour people. Furthermore, it has sent concerns that can help to create an opportunity of supporting local Mexican families and the entire economy to provide for poor and suffering Mexican families (Andreescu, 198).
