Imigração latina para os Estados Unidos: a guerra de Donald Trump contra os indocumentados

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to show an understanding of Latin immigration to the United States, through the governments of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and a little about the beginning of the Joe Biden government, in order to justify the immigration policies instituted by the Trump administration. The analysis will focus on the following question: How have North American governments handled the issue of Latino migration over time? Has Donald Trump's government actually established a different policy to deal with the issue of Latino immigration? In addition to understanding the general panorama on the topic in the chosen period, the objective is also to verify whether President Trump developed a different policy within this historical trajectory. To carry out this research, the following methodology was used: analysis of literature on the topic, speeches given by presidents, and the laws that measured the situation at the time. In conclusion, it was found that Donald Trump's government, in addition to continuing with policies instituted by his predecessors, instituted an agenda of xenophobia against Latino immigrants even before being elected president.
