what happened basically is in the 1980's, more salvadorans and guatemalans were flocking to the unitedstates as a result of the civil wars and their country and repression in their country. they came here to the u.s. and there were industries that were needed for cheap labor. you have the meat packing industry in the midwest that began recruiting many mexicans to come to dodge city and come to des moines and the meat center of the country, and you had the poultry industry in arkansas and he had the textile industry in north carolina a. they usually went by nationalities. yet a large what mollah population that developed in north carolina. that is part of what i try to show in the book. to a large measure, the film captures this process of migration, the push of the repression that occurs in the countries in descending countries, and the poll of american businesses seeking cheap labor. >> i want to play kick -- clip that talks about the history of u.s. involvement in the dominican republic, where many of the immigrants here in new york city health from. the clip prominently features the
