“Adorazione,” Patriarchy, and Dead Women

Immigration Policy and Media Narratives Are Not a Blood Support

If immigrant advocates want politicians and the media to handle “immigration” differently, we need to change our approach, too.

Why did they come to US? What were their plans + dreams? Why don’t we have policy that facilitates asylum rather than death?”
