"The Curious Case of LatinX Immigration"

"The Curious Case of LatinX Immigration"

October 8, 2020
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Zoom Webinar

Abstract: In this talk, I use the case of Latinx immigrants to showcase a problem with the social trust argument.  The social trust argument is a nationalist argument in favor of stricter immigration policies as a way of obtaining community cohesion and social welfare. The case of Latinx immigrants highlights how this argument has been self-defeating in the U.S. and argues instead that a defense of immigrant rights would be a more consistent way of obtaining the stated aims of social trust.
