Increasingly, instead of finding their dream, many encounter a nightmare-a country whose culture and legal system aggressively target and prosecute them.In Targeted, journalist Deepa Fernandes seamlessly weaves together history, political analysis, and first-person narratives of those caught in the grips of the increasingly Kafkaesque U.S. Homeland Security system. She documents how in post-9\/11 America immigrants have come to be deemed a national security threat.Fernandes-herself an immigrant well-acquainted with U.S. immigration procedures-takes the reader on a harrowing journey inside the new American immigrant experience, a journey marked by militarized border zones, racist profiling, criminalization, detention and deportation. She argues that since 9\/11, the Bush administration has been carrying out a series of systematic changes to decades-old immigration policy that constitute a roll back of immigrant rights and a boon for businesses who are helping to enforce the crackdown on immigrants, creating a growing \"Immigration Industrial Complex.\" She also documents the bullet-to-ballot strategy of white supremacist elements that influence our new immigration legislation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deepa Fernandes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213184725052,"sku":"RP9781583227282","price":200.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/RP9781583227282.jpg?v=1776707753","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/targeted-homeland-security-and-the-business-of-immigration","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
