This session will discuss the discriminatory immigration policies in U.S history, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act, as well as examine the resurgence of white nationalism in U.S. immigration policy in the last decade. The landmark Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, enacted during the Civil Rights movement, was signed into law by President Johnson, abolishing the National Origins Formula which granted only immigrants from European nations and barred individuals from Asian and other non-European countries to enter the United States. This Act lead to the influx of immigrants and refugees from nations that were previously barred such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Mexico, Somalia, etc. This session will critically examine widespread anti-Asia xenophobic images used as propaganda during the Yellow Peril Era as well as decode current dog whistling used by modern right-wing politicians. Additionally, current day racism and xenophobia in immigration policies such the Muslim ban of 2017, the differential government level supports for Ukrainian parolees to other non-white parolees, ICE, as well as anti-immigration policies in Florida and other states will be discussed. Attendees will have a deeper understanding of the history of racism within immigration policy, the ways that the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 disrupted prior discrimination in U.S. immigration, and the resurgence of xenophobia and racism within modern day immigration policy.  Presenters will integrate their own personal stories and professional experiences. Participants will also be asked to discuss topic questions in small groups.  In addition, participants will also, collectively generate ideas to counter discriminatory U.S. immigration policies.
