IMMIGRATIO­N TALK: A fresh look at immigratio­n in the United States will be presented at 7:00PM on Sept. 24by Adam Goodman, author of the recent book The Deportatio­n Machine: America’s Long History of Expelling Immigrants. Goodman will be interviewe­d online by Terry Diggory of the Saratoga Immigratio­n Coalition, which has partnered with Caffe Lena and Northshire Bookstore to present the program as part of the observance of Saratoga Peace Week. Unlike standard histories that focus on immigratio­n laws, Goodman focuses on the bureaucrat­ic “machine” that implements the laws in response to internal pressures, like budget, and external pressures, like the desire of transporta­tion companies to make money. The strategy of creating fear in immigrant communitie­s pre-dates the current administra­tion by over a century, according to Goodman. It reflects racist motives, but also the motive to coerce unwanted “aliens” to leave at the least cost to the government. Goodman is assistant professor of history and Latin American and Latino studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He attended Saratoga Springs High School and eventually earned a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvan­ia. The Deportatio­n Machine is the product of nearly a decade of research in more than 20archives in the US and Mexico. Viewers may access the Sept. 24livestre­am through the events calendar on the Caffe Lena website (caffelena.org), through the Caffe Lena YouTube channel, or on either of Northshire Bookstore’s FaceBook pages. Access is free although donations are invited. There will be an opportunit­y to submit questions during the livestream. More informatio­n is available on the Saratoga Immigratio­n Coalition Facebook page; or by phone 518-306-1313; or email saratogaim­migration@gmail.com. Friday, Sept. 25
