Placed within the context of the past decade's war on terror and
emergent and countervailing Latino rights movement, Reform without
Justice addresses the issue of state violence against migrants in
the United States. It questions why it is that, despite its success
in mobilizing millions, the Latino immigrant rights movement has
not been able to effectively secure sustainable social justice
victories for itself or more successfully defend the human rights
of migrants. Gonzales argues that the contemporary Latino rights
movement faces a dynamic form of political power that he terms
"anti-migrant hegemony". This anti-migrant hegemony, found in sites
of power from Congress, to think tanks, talk shows and the prison
system, is a force through which a rhetorically race neutral and
common sense public policy discourse, consistent with the rules of
post-civil rights racism, is deployed to criminalize migrants.
Critically, large sectors of "pro-immigrant" groups, including the
Hispanic Congressional Caucus and the National Council of La Raza,
have conceded to coercive immigration enforcement measures such as
a militarized border wall and the expansion of immigration policing
in local communities in exchange for so-called Comprehensive
Immigration Reform. Gonzales says that it is precisely when
immigration reformers actively adopt the discourse and policies of
the leading anti-immigrant forces that the power of anti-migrant
hegemony can best be observed.
