Al Neely and Tina Jenkins explore how immigration discourse disproportionately focuses on Latino immigrants while ignoring significant migration from countries like China and India, and how fear-based policies threaten America's economic stability.

• Media coverage of immigration overwhelmingly focuses on Hispanic immigrants crossing the Mexican border
• Chinese immigration and property purchases receive different political framing and treatment
• Mass deportation would severely impact housing, healthcare, agriculture, and construction sectors
• Only 1-3% of undocumented immigrants are criminals, despite political rhetoric painting them as threats
• Legal immigration pathways are prohibitively complex, expensive, and time-consuming 
• Fear-based campaign tactics exploit racial and economic anxieties to gain political support
• Indiscriminate detention methods have resulted in American citizens being detained simply for speaking Spanish
• Different protest approaches among minority communities reflect varying relationships with American identity
