Beskrivning
Of the many issues polarizing societies today, immigration is one of the most contentious. In the United States, as in Europe, immigration was a defining issue in recent national elections. Immigration not only involves government policies but also the human rights of millions of people. American Presidents, Deportations, and Human Rights Violations studies how recent immigration policies in the United States developed during the Obama administration and are now being expanded in the first months of the Trump presidency. Documenting the harsh treatment of immigrants over the past twenty years, Bill Ong Hing shows how mass detention and deportation of immigrants, from Clinton's two terms and the Bush administration, have escalated even higher. This book questions what price the United States is willing to pay for such harsh immigration policies in terms of our national values, and the impact on the lives of the millions of immigrants who deserve the full protection of universal human rights obligations.

Recensioner i media

'In this tour de force, Bill Ong Hing critically analyzes the immigration records of American Presidents from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump, with a particular focus on the harsh treatment of immigrants during the presidency of Barack Obama; often thought of as a friend of immigrants. With stories of the harsh treatment of the immigrants themselves, American Presidents, Deportations, and Human Rights Violations reveals the cruel realities of American immigration policy, which President Trump has taken to new and frightening heights.' Kevin R. Johnson, Dean, University of California, Davis School of Law
