The 1940's Law That's Criminalizing Millions Today

The Alien Registration Act was passed in an era of fear leading up to America's entrance in the Second World War. Today it's being used to trap undocumented immigrants by forcing them into a no-win scenario where they end up being criminalized no matter what they do. On this episode we look at how this law came into being, how the Trump Administration is using it, and the many pitfalls and dangers to anyone registering under the act. The Politics of New America explores the policy and actions of the United States Federal Government in this era of radical change.
