The Political Economy of Undocumented Migration and the Rise of the Latino Threat Narrative
This article by Douglas S. Massey examines the political economy of undocumented migration and how it has led to the rise of a self-reinforcing non-recursive feedback loop in which the Latino threat narrative is perpetuated. Massey argues that this loop perpetuates anti-immigrant sentiment and policies, further exacerbating the conditions that drive people to migrate in the first place.
