Prof. KFVPodcast #1 proposals for Immigration course Student in the Politics, Immigration, and Citizenship course have also been working on their first podcast proposals. The proposals include a wide variety of immigrant groups, immigration policies, and time periods. There are several podcast proposals examining the impact of DACA (social, economic), the possible outcomes if DACA is rescinded, and the possibility of Congress passing a DREAM Act. Several podcasts will focus on the impact of deportations under the current administration, specifically the use of private prisons and detention centers, increased interior enforcement, the impact on mixed-status families, and the role/impact of ICE in local communities.
Many students are interested in explaining/exploring how refugees are treated once they reach the US, what types of accommodations are provided, and how refugees from different areas are treated differently (Cuban versus Central American). Another group of podcasts focuses on immigrants, and the children of immigrants, entry into the polity-how or when do these groups engage in politics? A few students will be examining the differences between the processes of integration, assimilation, and multiculturalism within immigrant families. Students are also taking on projects looking at the impact of the REAL ID Act on immigrant communities and how immigrant workers are treated within particular industries, like the meatpacking industry in the US. The first podcasts will be finished in approximately three weeks, stay tuned!
