The
following
statements
clearly
summarized
the
causes
and
implied
the
endless
consequences
of
the
colonization
and
post-colonizations:
Globalization,
the
current
invasive
and
exploitative
type,
is
nothing
more
than
the
continuation
of
the
colonial
regime
under
a
more
improved
control
and
command
structure
with
the
highest
value
being
cost
savings
and
efficiencies.
Colonization
begins
with
land
and
the
resources
present
in
it.
Controlling
the
raw
materials
discussed
above
was
made
possible
by
the
forceful
removal
of
populations
from
their
ancestral
lands.
In
this
process,
the
colonizer
gained
access
and
eventually
owned
the
land
and
everything
on
it
including
the
people
themselves.
Thinking
of
land
and
its
centrality
to
daily
life:
housing,
agriculture,
natural
resources,
underground
water,
roads
and
transportation,
all
types
of
pipelines,
electricity
generation,
energy,
silicon,
gold,
silver,
minerals,
precious
stones,
sports
activities,
advertisement
space,
and
military
defenses
to
name
a
few.
The
takeover
of
the
land
is
central
to
the
colonial
project
and
continued
to
shape
the
post-
colonial
for
those
stolen
lands
were
never
returned.
Indeed,
removing
colonized
populations
from
the
land
created
surplus
labor
or
more
like
manufacturing
poverty
conditions
that
make
individuals
focused
solely
on
seeking
to
fulfill
basic
human
needs
of
food
and
shelter.
Possessing
land
for
indigenous
populations
translates
to
self-sufficiency
in
food
as
well
as
sustainable
living
from
what
can
be
grown
and
consumed
locally
from
the
owned
land
(ownership
be
it
individually
or
collectively)
Colonization
was
focused
on
severing
the
indigenous
populations
land
relations
and
replaced
it
with
a
colonial
economy
focused
on
achieving
total
dependency
on
colonially
supplied
and
market
controlled
products.
Since
the
colonizer
already
took
possession
of
the
best
lands
and
the
more
lucrative
resources,
then
the
ability
to
control
the
livelihood
of
the
colonized
populations
is
the
instrument
deployed
to
engender
cooperation
and
malleability
to
colonial
demands.
Forceful
removal
from
the
land
had
far
reaching
consequences
and
disrupted
the
existing
tribal,
social,
political,
economic
and
religious
balances
in
colonized
regions.
A
by-product
of
forceful
removal
and
population
movement
away
from
their
ancestral
lands
is
the
intensification
of
conflicts
among
the
various
local
groups.
As
each
group
is
moved
or
separated
from
its
land,
they
begin
to
struggle
to
keep
more
of
the
shrinking
territory
and
resources
at
the
expense
of
another
group
facing
similar
circumstances.
This
conflict
had
the
further
benefit
of
the
colonial
power
to
fragment
existing
societies
at
the
micro
level,
thus
increasing
the
ability
to
control
and
manipulate
local
politics
and
select
those
who
are
ready
to
sell
their
soul
and
community
to
the
highest
bidder.
Death,
murder,
destruction,
and
genocide
are
constitutive
and
productive
in
the
colonial
project
with
devastating
results
across
the
globe.
Whenever
violence
is
witnessed
in
the
global
South,
focus
not
on
the
immediate
identity
of
the
foot
soldiers
fighting
for
survival
on
the
plantation
level
but
look
for
those
near
and
far
who
situated,
nurtured,
benefited
and
administered
the
colonially
constructed
plantation
with
murderous
viciousness."

Immigration
Crisis:
The
Collapse
of
the
Post-Colonial
State
Part
2.
As
a
young
Jesuit
who
is
studying
to
become
a
priest,
I
just
rekindled
my
passion
and
love
for
the
something
that
once
upon
had;
the
advocacy
for
the
poor
and
vulnerable
specially
the
migrants
and
refugees.
From
1999-2004,
I
felt
in
love
this
with
the
ministry,
and
I
work
intensively
on
immigration
reformed.
However,
after
2004
and
I
became
a
Jesuit,
I
left
this
ministry
and
focused
on
studies.
I
guess
I
distance
myself
from
my
reality
since
I
was
also
searching
American
Citizenship.
I
wanted
to
feel
American.
I
wanted
to
feel
assimilated
and
welcomed
in
this
country
that
I
have
been
since
1997.
Thus,
having
a
distance
from
the
immigrants
and
refugees,
it
was
a
way
to
feel
that
assimilation.
On
Tuesday,
June
7,
2016,
I
officially
became
US
Citizen
and
today
it
is
the
first
time
that
I
have
written
a
reflection
of
my
feeling
and
emotions
as
a
result
of
that
process.
How
do
our
classes
relate
to
my
personal
changes?
As
I
became
"safe"
and
"privileged"
on
my
status
as
US
Citizen,
I
feel
that
I
have
given
permission
to
"feel,
approach
and
work"
again
for
the
immigrants
and
refugees.
Thus,
I
felt
that
our
readings
and
conversations
in
the
last
few
days
had
confirmed
my
conviction
to
begin
again
to
advocate
and
leave
the
bystander
and
fearful
effect.
I
wonder
really
why
did
I
feel
unsafe?
Why
did
I
feel
that
need
to
separate
myself
from
my
reality?
I
am
migrant.
I
am
a
new
comer,
yet
I
was
rejected
my
identity.
Visiting
the
refugee
camp
and
as
well
as
St.
Bernard
(it
just
happened
to
be
a
Scalabrinian
Parish),
were
friendly
reminders
that
this
is
who
I
am:
I'm
a
migrant
who
after
many
struggles,
difficulties
and
opportunities
what
were
given
by
many
people
along
the
way,
I
was
able
to
accomplish
my
dreams
and
even
became
American
Citizen.
I
could
have
never
done
it
alone,
and
this
is
the
same
story
of
the
migrants
and
refugees
today.
They
need
that
hand
that
provides
opportunities.
