The Sept. 11 attacks upended U.S. immigration policy, linking it for the first time to the nation’s anti-terrorism strategy and paving the way for two decades of restrictive laws.
“Everything looked very positive,” recalled Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Los Angeles-based immigrant advocacy group Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights . She had traveled to Washington during Fox’s visit to give the White House thousands of postcards from Americans supporting immigration reform.
With the fall of the Twin Towers, the prospects for the Dream Act “came crashing down” as well, Salas recalled. Along with it went any chance for a comprehensive bill with a path to citizenship for qualified immigrants who lacked documentation. Enforcement spiked, “and that’s when people started getting into deportation proceedings,” said Isaias Guerrero, an immigrant rights organizer and DACA recipient.
