DEPORTATIONS: FY 1980 TO 2010
Who gets deported?
98% of deportees are
from Latin America and the Caribbean.
80 % of deportees are men.
Racial profiling + Police/ICE cooperation => Deportation of black and Latino men
How Police/ICE cooperation works1) Police pulls a person
over and checks with ICE.
2) Police arrests and books a person, then checks with ICE.
3) Person is sent to jail. Before being released, ICE is called.
Neoliberalism
1) Deregulation2) privatization of public
enterprise3) trade liberalization4) promotion of foreign
direct investment5) tax cuts6) reduction in public
expenditures
Why should we care?
An understanding of contemporary neoliberalism requires a critical examination of mass deportation.
- Deportation as social control.
- New class of expendable workers.
