Historian of Midwestern Latinos, labor, religion, and sanctuary. Author of Strangers No Longer: Latino Belonging and Faith in 20th Century Wisconsin.
So proud of this co-written piece, put together with my compa @elprofebarba.bsky.social, in the latest edition of @dissentmag.bsky.social. We review the history of the sanctuary movement and what it means for faith-based migrant justice movements today.

What is "new" about today's anti-immigrant right? They're just parroting the talking points FAIR was spouting in the 1980s, except we now have decades of economic data to prove this is nothing more than nativist fear mongering.

When the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) fought against the sanctuary movement and asylum for Central Americans, they argued they were protecting American workers from an incoming flood of unskilled and pliable laborers. The "new right" is just another iteration of this.
