在过去的四十年里，对非公民与犯罪之间关系的关注已经达到了史诗般的程度。法律、政策、程序和规则已经制定，移民和刑事司法系统已经投入使用，数十亿美元已经用于侦查、拘留、起诉和驱逐那些被视为“对国家构成最大威胁”的人。结果，一种“新”现象出现了，即移民，它不仅重新设计了犯罪和移民制度，而且还在美国带来了文化转型--重组社会类别，削弱经济和政治权力，使美国最大的少数民族人口--拉丁裔人--的边缘化永久化。一直代表着90%以上的被移民拘留、因违反移民法而被起诉、并被作为“犯罪外国人”驱逐出境的人。在过去的30年里，拉美裔移民对拉美裔人造成了毁灭性的影响，尽管如此，几乎没有人写过关于拉美裔人的创造和使用，作为一种持续的种族从属机制。本文试图填补空白，探索如何重新构建拉丁美洲人和主流社会之间的关系，以确保他们的边缘化地位。通过解构和理解反移民与种族从属关系的联系，可以制定打击和结束其破坏性的方法。
Over the last forty years, the concern over the relationship between noncitizens and criminality has reached epic proportions. Laws, policies, procedures, and rules have been developed, the immigration and criminal justice system have been employed, and billions of dollars have been spent towards detecting, detaining, prosecuting, and removing those who are targeted as posing “the greatest threat to the nation.” As a result, a “new” phenomenon emerged, crimmigration, that not only redesigned the criminal and immigration systems, but also brought about a cultural transformation in the United States — restructuring social categories, diminishing economic and political power, and perpetuating the marginalization of the largest minority population in the United States — Latinos.Latinos, over the years, have consistently represented over 90% of those in immigration detention, prosecuted for immigration violations, and removed as “criminal aliens.” The consequences of crimmigration have resulted in the devastation of Latinos, their families, their communities, and the countries of their origin, thereby contributing to their inability to gain economic and political stability.Despite the devastating impact that crimmigration has had on Latinos over the last 30 years, little has been written about its creation and use as a mechanism for continued racial subordination. This Article seeks to fill the void, exploring the way in which crimmigration restructures the relationship between Latinos and dominant society to ensure their marginalized status. By deconstructing and understanding crimmigration’s ties to racial subordination, methods to combat and end its destructive nature can be developed.
