This book provides an explanation of how, where, and why non-citizens were put behind bars in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the present. Through select granular experiences of detention over the course of more than 140 years, this book explains how America built the world's largest system for imprisoning immigrants. From the late nineteenth century, when the US government held hundreds of Chinese in federal prisons pending deportation, to the early twentieth century, when it caged hundreds of thousands of immigrants in insane asylums, to World War I and II, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) declared tens of thousands of foreigners "enemy aliens" and locked them up in Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) camps in Texas and New Mexico, and through the 1980s detention of over 125,000 Cuban and almost 23,000 Haitian refugees, the incarceration of foreigners nationally has ebbed and flowed. In the last three decades, tough-on-crime laws intersected with harsh immigration policies to make millions of immigrants vulnerable to deportation based on criminal acts, even minor ones, that had been committed years or decades earlier. Although far more immigrants are being held in prison today than at any other time in US history, earlier moments of immigrant incarceration echo present-day patterns"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Alien detention centers $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Detention of persons $z United States. 650 0 $a Human rights $z United States. 650 7 $a Alien detention centers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805056 650 7 $a Detention of persons $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891620 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Human rights $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Government policy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967736 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Young, Elliott, 1967- $t Forever prisoners. $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2021 $z 9780190085971 $w (DLC) 2020018278 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015219.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010439.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210428014032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6AC883D6A7E711EB98937C0F4BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
