dc.description.abstract | Immigration has shaped the United States’ culture. Many believe that immigrants are the backbone of the U.S. nation; however, in the past decades, citizens continue to use the term ‘immigrant’ negatively— those living for generations on United States soil often look down upon new immigrants, socially excluding them. Adversely, the events of 9/11 created a divide within the nation; those who were different became feared. In response, on March 1, 2003, the government finalized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the newly formed Department of Homeland Security, birthing many benefits and consequences to the United States. Despite government plans to protect ‘legal’ immigration while minimizing ‘illegal’ immigration, ICE pinpoints Latino individuals, damaging not just the family unit but also community relations. | en_US |
