After years of Trump’s blatantly bigoted, anti-immigrant rhetoric, a new tide has turned - or has it? In the midst of Trump-era immigration policy reversals by the Biden administration, VP Kamala Harris recently told Guatamalens “do not come,” in her first trip overseas, sending mixed signals in a situation that serves as a microcosmic example of America’s long history of hypocrisy on the subject. Within one breath, America touts itself as a country that has long-welcomed immigrants, and then openly discourages them from coming in the next. Which immigrants have America historically “welcomed,” and how does America’s immigration past connect to harmful narratives that are perpetuated presently? How have narratives surrounding immigration changed, and how have policies affected those narratives? What happens when immigration leaves the front page, and what happens to immigrants when cameras stop rolling? Join our hosts Chase and Jon as they tackle these questions and discuss how you can support immigrant communities of color with our special guest, Mireya Gutierrez of Instituto Del Progreso Latino.
