Targeted : homeland security and the business of immigration
The author issues a broad attack on the current state of US immigration policy. Weaving in personal stories of those affected, she discusses the militarization of the southern border, describes the scope of the immigration detention and deportation machinery, and describes the discriminatory nature of the US asylum track for immigration. For the latter two issues, she discusses the particular case of Haitian immigrants and asylum seekers. The nature of the foreign student and foreign worker programs are discussed, once again highlighting the issue of discrimination. She then turns to the primary drivers of current US immigration policy, including the security-industrial complex and white nationalists, with their undue influence on the legislative agenda
