The Economic Policy Institute hosted an event to present a new book on deportations which explores how they have become a tool in a broader strategy to police immigrant workers and keep them exploited in the name of global capitalism. Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza, the author of Deported: Policing Immigrants, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism was joined by three experts who each responded to the book’s findings and discussed their significance in the context of deferred action and immigration reform. The three respondents were: Jennifer Rosenbaum, Legal and Policy Director, National Guestworker Alliance, and Robina Foundation Visiting Human Rights Fellow, Yale Law School; Marc Rosenblum, Deputy Director, U.S. Immigration Policy Program, Migration Policy Institute; and Shannon Lederer, Director of Immigration, Policy Department, AFL-CIO.
