The Precarity of Immigrant Workers

Jennifer J. Lee, Temple University
- | College Hall 319

Professor Lee will discuss how the federal law’s creation of the separate caste of immigrant workers facilitates labor extraction but rejects the immigrants themselves. While private employer exploitation certainly plays a role, it obfuscates the systemic role of the federal government in shaping these terms and conditions for primarily a workforce of color.

Co-sponsored by the Asian American Studies Program, the United Minorities Council, Penn for Immigrant Rights, and CSERI.
