Juan Crow is a neologism that was coined by journalist Roberto Lovato. It first gained popularity when he used it in an article for the Nation magazine in 2008[1][2][3][4][5] The term criticizes contemporary immigration enforcement by comparing them to Jim Crow laws, and has since become popular among immigration activists.
Laws[]
The term Juan Crow has been used to describe immigration statutes in the United States.[6][7][8]
Laws in Arizona,[9] Alabama,[6] and Georgia[5] and Texas[10][11] have been considered Juan Crow laws.
California's Proposition 187 was considered a Juan Crow law by immigration activists. It required citizenship screening of residents and denied social services like health care and public education to undocumented immigrants.[12]
As an era[]
The Juan Crow era refers to "the matrix of laws, social customs, economic institutions and symbolic systems enabling the physical and psychic isolation needed to control and exploit undocumented immigrants."[13]
