New Books in Communications · Leo R. Chavez, "The Latino Threat: How Alarmist Rhetoric Misrepresents Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation" (Stanford UP, 2025) · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

So the 60s and 70s, it sounds so great to me.

And I've got the tail end of the Cold War.

But anyways, you know, that's what people are pushing back against, right?

That things used to be so phenomenal until we had all these immigrants.

And now, so that aspect of motivation, this cohesive ideas that are trying to motivate action, part of it's to blame, but what are the specific actions they're doing then?

Yeah.

I agree.

I think I figure I find myself.

I just wrapped it.

We just wrapped up our semester here.

at Brigham Young University, and I was teaching my immigration history class.

And your comment there, we'll see, I find myself saying that a lot, right?

Because looking at the law and talking about the history of immigration policy, and I have students themselves who are

trying to understand how, you know, after, you know, through all these constitutional protections that we have or believe that we have, are we seeing people all over the country here in Provo, Utah?

I know I have people that I know that I go to church with who are not Latino, but perceptively look Latino.

And we're stopped by ICE driving down the street.

And one of them shared on Facebook how the ICE agent pulled him over, came up to him, asked him for his ID.

He gave him his ID, asked him what the problem was.

The guy looked at his ID, laughed, and laughed perceivably because he saw clearly the name wasn't Latino.

He chucked the ID, tossed the ID back at him and said, you can go.
