Broken Promises: The U.S Immigration System
“Get in line, do it the right way!”
“They’re taking our jobs!”
“Build the wall!”
If you’re not an immigrant in the United States, you may not be as familiar with these “chants” or exclamations that people tend to use to justify their xenophobia and racism. The truth is that most Americans do not comprehend how the immigration system in the United States works. A system that aims to rip families apart. A system that has shattered the dreams and hopes of many. A system on which people’s lives are dependent, and which has failed the vast majority of them. A flawed system to say the least. This project seeks to bring light to this issue through a variety of media, and more importantly to make you understand that this is a problem that affects every single American.
