Used, Then Refused: Mass Deportations and the American Pattern of Discarding the Poor
Manage episode 490958644 series 3667584
They crossed deserts, oceans, and borders—only to be discarded when their labor, voices, or presence became inconvenient.
In this special episode of Burden of History, we examine how the United States has repeatedly used poor, working-class immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers—then turned its back on them. From disaster recovery to domestic labor, America’s policies often reward struggle with silence.
We’re not just talking about politics—we’re talking about people. Forgotten, deported, and erased.
This isn’t a loophole. It’s a pattern.
🎧 Listen now. Then ask yourself—who will be refused next?
