Throughout history, human beings, especially the global poor, have been in constant movement. Huerta says we should view this migration as a universal human right and treat honest, hard-working immigrants with the dignity and respect that they deserve. • Dr. Alvaro Huerta is an Assistant Professor at Cal Poly Pomona with a joint appointment in Urban Regional Planning and Ethnic Women’s Studies. While he earned his B.A. (history) and M.A. (urban planning) from UCLA, he also earned his doctorate (city regional planning) from UC Berkeley. His work is at the crossroads of community development, economic development, social movements, Chicana/o—Latina/o studies, and more. He is the author of the book Reframing the Latino Immigration Debate: Towards a Humanistic Paradigm. Married to his wife Antonia, Dr. Huerta is the son of Mexican immigrants from the beautiful state of Michoacán. • This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
