Racism, the Immigration Enforcement Regime, and the Implications for Racial Inequality in the Lives of Undocumented Young Adults

Elizabeth Aranda - Nama Orang; Elizabeth Vaquera - Nama Orang;

The current immigration enforcement regime embodies a colorblind racial project of the state rooted
in the racial structure of society and resulting in racism toward immigrants. Approaching racism from
structural and social process perspectives, we seek to understand the social consequences of enforcement
practices in the lives of undocumented immigrant young adults who moved to the United States as minors.
Findings indicate that although legal discourse regarding immigration enforcement theoretically purports
colorblindness, racial practices such as profiling subject immigrants to arrest, detention, and deportation
and, in effect, criminalize them. Further, enforcement practices produce distress, vulnerability, and anxiety
in the lives of young immigrants and their families, often resulting in legitimate fears of detention and
deportation since enforcement measures disproportionately affect Latinos and other racialized immigrant
groups in U.S. society. We conclude that policies and programs that exclude, segregate, detain, and
physically remove immigrants from the country reproduce racial inequalities in other areas of social life
through spillover effects that result in dire consequences for these immigrants and their kin. We argue that
immigrant enforcement practices reflect the nation’s racial policy of our times.

Keywords: racism, immigration enforcement, racial inequality, undocumented immigrants, deportations and detention
