Policing the Migrant “Crisis”: How U.S. Immigration Policy Criminalizes and Racializes Black Migrants at the U.S./Caribbean Border

While such global networks continue to grow at a rapid rate, nationalist rhetoric and politics have also become more salient as some decry diversity, the threat of "open" borders, and the impacts of capitalist expansion under globalization. At a time when globalization has be…
