Hispanics Bearing the Brunt of Xenophobia

by Peter Galuszka , February 19, 2008

Categories:


With growing globalization, it seems especially odd that many localities are throwing out unwelcome signs and stigmatizing immigrants, especially dark-skinned ones. In Chesterfield’s case, elections brought a new board, which shelved anti-immigration measures. But as the Chesterfield example shows, facts supporting the allegations of a wave of undocumented immigrants can be wrong, slanted or made up. The local media, nonetheless, repeat them over and over. So it’s no big surprise there’s an undocumented immigration crisis — real or not.
