Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies Assistant Professor, Dr. Luis Romero, speaks on the issue of expansive detention and deportation in response to 9/11. Dr. Romero’s report focuses on the nation’s failed immigration system describing the initial laws that failed to prevent events like 9/11 are being used to criminalize migrants. Moreover, Dr. Luis Romero expresses that these laws now make things like
“tension and deportation a more common and a more used form of deterrence to prevent migrants from coming to the U.S.”.
Dr. Romero’s comments can be listened to around the 21-minute mark of the CBS News Weekend Roundup audio.
