What lesson do you think The Devil's Highway is trying to teach?

This is a fascinating book, dealing with the true life
story of one group of Mexican immigrants who were so desperate to enter the United
States that they are willing to risk their very lives in one of the most inhospitable
regions on the planet. This book forces us to ask some massive questions about the
economic state of the world and how such economic inequalities will make people go to
such desperate lengths to be able to earn more money. Why is it that there is such an
economic disparity that causes people to risk their lives in such a dramatic and drastic
way and is it really worth the risk and the danger to live in the United States as a
mojado, an illegal immigrant who lives in fear of deportation and
can only earn the minimum wage and often has to suffer terrible working conditions? This
is a book that should make us look at economic migration in a completely different way
and to make us uncomfortable in our wealth.
