Event
The Precarity of Immigrant Workers
Jennifer J. Lee, Temple University
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.
