US aggression foreign policies are at its high once again with US military forces in Africa, Colombia, the Philippines, and the Middle East.
After September 11th 2001, a new �foreign terrorist� has been targeted and the focus has turned back on the invisible community to fight the �war on terrorism�.
The Chicano youth in the barrios and high schools of East LA are being immediately targeted to join the military industrial complex.
The reality speaks for itself as the count of college counselors are few on high school campus but the Army recruiting office is right across the street from a local high school in East Los Angeles.
These are the attempts to enlist and gear Chicano youth right back into fighting another US created war, like it did for Vietnam and numerous other wars.
Salazar pointed to these contradictions in his articles and the Chicano/a Peoples conclusions were a deep analysis of how US priorities were building an unnecessary war and not addressing the home issues of education and well being. But instead, building ruthless military powers at the cost of peoples of color.
This holds true for the recent attacks on Palestine, the Philippines and others while the Prison Industrial Complex at home is imprisoning Chicano and Latino youth and men for no cost labor, and exploiting immigrant labor that includes the hands of many Latina/ Mexicana women, for corporate profit and imperialist gains.
The Latino/a immigrant community is heavily being scape-goated across the country characterized as foreigners or �suspected terrorists� causing an even greater number of their jobs being taken away, and allowing for sub-standard living wages, that organized efforts and unions have been fighting against.
Many are being fired on the spot from airport jobs because they are not naturalized citizens; but regardless of their migratory status they are allowed to enlist into the army.
