How have undocumented Latinos and Asians made use of intersectionality to better coordinate collective responses to unfair immigration laws? Please bring up terms “migrant illegality," "undocuqueer," and "identity mobilization" in response.

Expert Solution

Introduction

Latinos and Asians consist some of the largest undocumented migrant populations in the US, estimated to be around 2 million. In addition, there are nearly 58 million Latinos and 20 million Asians residing in the US, and their roots can be traced back to more than 30 nation-states in the world. The Asians seem to be richer than the Latinos. But despite this difference, both the Latino and Asian communities face systemic deprivations and discriminations of various kinds. They are at the receiving end of the American immigration regime and constantly face the threat of deportation.
