US Follows Anti-Black Model in Immigration
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
23 Sep 2019
🖨️ Print Article

The US has criminalized immigrants, just as it has used the criminal justice system to control and oppress African Americans, said Ben Ndugga Kabuye, of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. The crime bills of 1994 and 1996 “criminalized immigration at a level that has never been seen before,” making a host of offenses grounds for deportation,” said Kabuye.
