What if America's immigrants actually left? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently came across a series of brilliant satirical sketches by Cameroon-born creator Leeno Daash, built around a provocative question: What would Europe look like without immigrants? The premise is simple. An angry white man tells a Black immigrant doctor that immigrants should go home because they are taking jobs and ripping off the system. The doctor says, “Okay” — and mobilizes all the immigrant doctors and nurses in the hospital to leave. Suddenly the hospital’s white patients are beggin
Who will now get to count in America? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 12 years, I fought to make Caribbean immigrants and those of Caribbean ancestry count in the United States Census, but after reading the Trump administration’s sweeping proposal to reshape the 2030 Census last week, I realized the question confronting America today is much bigger than the Caribbean immigrant community.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the British-born right-wing provocateur, early Donald Trump supporter, and enthusiastic cheerleader for mass deportation, reportedly called last year for “on-the-spot deportation” of people who could not prove they were legally in the United States. On Friday, August 28, Yiannopoulos got an unexpected opportunity to experience the immigration policy he had championed for others. He was deported. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Yi
When no immigrant is safe from America’s immigration crackdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If anyone still believes Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign is simply about removing violent criminals from the United States, the events of the past week should force another look. On August 20, an ICE charter carrying more than 160 Haitian nationals landed in Cap-Haïtien, the first deportation flight to Haiti since Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was stripped from hundreds of thousands of Haitians. They could not even be flown into Haiti’s capital. Port-au-Prince is considered so danger
