Typically, people think about migration as immigration: people crossing
international borders from one nation-state to another. And for the past half
century in the United States, people have tended to think about that
immigration in a binary way: legal immigration versus illegal immigration. But

criminalization of Mexican immigrants in particular that have become the core
of the Trump presidency, we must explode these categories, identify their
origins, and analyze the history that preceded them. Dan interviews Aziz Rana.
