In a conversation with Dr. Shirley Leyro, associate professor of criminal justice at Borough of Manhattan Community College, host Sheryl McCarthy explores anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. Professor Leyro notes that while it seems to be rising, such feelings have always existed and are often exploited by politicians. She outlines the historical discrimination faced by various immigrant groups and discusses changes in immigration policy, particularly during the Trump administration, which increased enforcement and deportations.
Professor Leyro emphasizes immigrants' positive economic contributions and talks about the concept of "crimmigration," a term describing the intersection of immigration and criminal law, highlighting how minor infractions can lead to deportations. The discussion ends with a call for comprehensive immigration reform that addresses root causes and the complexities of legal processes, advocating for a path to citizenship and better support for immigrants. Leyro highlights the importance of a compassionate and informed dialogue on immigration, especially as elections approach.
