The Pew Research Center estimates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/race-ethnicity\/2022\/01\/20\/one-in-ten-black-people-living-in-the-u-s-are-immigrants\/\">1 in 10 Black people living in the U.S. is an immigrant<\/a>. While immigration coverage over the last year has focused largely on the experiences of Ukrainian refugees and Latino migrants, Borderless wanted to also help tell the stories, challenges and triumphs of more Black immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The Black diaspora in the United States is ethnically, linguistically and economically diverse. It includes Afro Latino people, who can trace their roots back to Africa, who come to the United States from the Caribbean and Latin America. It also includes Africans who came directly from the continent or from countries in Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>To help show the diversity of Black immigrants living in Chicago and the challenges they are facing here, Borderless is launching a new series: <a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/category\/black-immigrants-today\/\">Black Immigrants Today<\/a>. Reported and photographed by four members of Black immigrant communities in Chicago, our team spent over four months talking to community members and organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refugeeone.org\/\">RefugeeOne,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniteafricans.org\/\">United African Organization<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.girlforward.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GirlForward<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>and <a href=\"https:\/\/hamoc.org\/\">the Haitian American Museum of Chicago<\/a>. Those organizations helped them start talking to folks who had immigrated from Senegal, Togo, Haiti, and more in January. And we look forward to sharing their stories with you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you\u2019ll hear from some of them throughout this Q &amp; A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\">\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69ee4e486e534\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-middle small\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone border_color_909090 border_style_solid \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69ee4e486f172\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-middle large top_margin_20px bottom_margin_20px\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"true\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row-bg-overlay row-bg-layer\" style=\"background: #FFFFFF; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#FFFFFF 0%,#FFFFFF 100%);  opacity: 1; \"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col padding-3-percent force-phone-text-align-center inherit_tablet inherit_phone border_top_desktop_1px border_bottom_desktop_1px border_color_FFFFFF border_style_solid \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fws_69ee4e486f858\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-middle\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-7 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h4 id=\"news-that-puts-power-under-the-spotlight-and-communities-at-the-center\"><strong>News that puts power under the spotlight and communities at the center.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sign up for our free newsletter and get updates twice a week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div style=\"margin-top: -20px; \" class=\"vc_col-sm-5 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column neg-marg no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_raw_html wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"_form_1\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.bluelena.io\/f\/embed.php?id=1\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>To help us see the bigger picture of Black immigration, Borderless spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/09\/21\/opinions\/migrants-border-horses-haiti-lawrence\/index.html\">Patrice Lawrence, executive director<\/a>\u00a0of the <a href=\"https:\/\/undocublack.org\/\">UndocuBlack Network<\/a>.

And of course, the more melanated the skin, the more targeted that folks tend to be. The heavier the accent, the more targeted you tend to be. And that shows up in detention.<\/p>\n<p>What also shows up in detention is that some of our countries have been forced by the United States government to comply in different ways, including in international policies.

When you look at who gets it, it&#8217;s primarily not Black majority countries, it is primarily non-Black people. When you look at the hoops and hurdles that people have to go through, it is primarily not helpful for Black people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s similar to the situation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas\/immigrate\/diversity-visa-program-entry\/diversity-visa-submit-entry1.html\">diversity visa<\/a>. The government, whether under Biden, Trump, or Obama keeps making autonomous pathways to migrate to this country \u2014 that are very popular for African folks \u2014 more and more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>And they do it under the guise of national security and wanting to be careful about fraud and all these things. But we think it boils down to racism, and it boils down to cutting off routes for people to be autonomous and to have any form of firm footing and establishment in the United States. I think the government benefits from the Black immigrant population being unstable, they benefit to their detriment, and it does align with their racist system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p><strong>What are some of the factors driving immigration from Africa and from the Caribbean to the United States?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think in the past decade or so, if we were to zoom out and we talk about things like climate change, and we talk about globalization, and we talk about the ways in which the lands we come from are robbed and pillaged, and our governments are not allowed to be autonomous or sovereign, then we have pretty predictable patterns of what happens to people. People are forced to migrate, people are forced to find other ways to survive, to thrive and folks are forced to look for opportunity elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the way the United States government operates in other places of the world, they have followed policies \u2014 that began in the \u201860s and before that, thinking of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbslearningmedia.org\/resource\/speak-softly-video\/the-roosevelts\/\">big stick policy<\/a> and other things for other presidents \u2014 that basically had the United States as the caretaker for the developing world. And what that has meant is exposure to the United States and to meddling and interference from the United States. There&#8217;s no secret about the implications that that has had, some positive, but many, many things, not positive.<\/p>\n<p>I zoom out like that to say then, the migratory patterns of folks from continental Africa or folks of that origin, doesn&#8217;t become too hard to grasp, when you think about all those factors pushing people to the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<blockquote><p>\n\u201cThere will be a lot of sweat, tears and blood to live the American dream.

The thing that I mentioned earlier, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/why-experts-say-the-us-immigration-system-dates-back-to-us-slavery-2021-10\">public charge, it&#8217;s linked to slavery<\/a>. It&#8217;s linked to policies that were developed prior about Black people and about the narrative that is told about who Black people are. That we are poor, that we&#8217;re lazy, that we are not competent. These are all the narratives that have shown up in our policy. And that&#8217;s not unique to immigration.<\/p>\n<p>If we zoom back out again, and we talk about mortality rates in this country, we talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/onpoint\/2023\/04\/21\/americas-black-maternal-health-crisis-and-how-to-fix-it\">poor Black maternal health in this country,<\/a> people who are immigrants and Black immigrants are implicated in that number.<\/p>\n<p>Slavery was fairly recent. We talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/news.azpm.org\/p\/news-splash\/2020\/7\/30\/177558-show-me-your-papers-a-decade-after-sb-1070\/\">show me your papers<\/a> and these other laws that basically allow CBP to stop anyone near the border and ask them to show their nationality and their citizenship. The police system in America came straight from slavery and the need for that was to protect white property and to protect white bodies. And so that is the root of policing in the United States. And so the way that immigration enforcement has moved is borrowed from that root. And the places they look to, for training, also follow such a cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, that&#8217;s been the situation. The way we do detention currently in the United States is very specific to Black people. Detention did not look like this in the early 1980s. And the expansion of it, the way they do it, how punitive it is, began first with Haitian migrants who were coming more in the 1980s. And that is how this current detention layout was built, out of the policies that are tied directly to slavery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_widgetised_column wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t<div id=\"sidebar\" data-nectar-ss=\"true\" class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"custom_html-4 1articleright\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><h3 id=\"wordpress-popular-posts\" class=\"widget-title\">WordPress Popular Posts<\/h3><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><h4 id=\"trending-posts\" class=\"widget-title\">Trending Posts<\/h4><div class=\"wpp-shortcode\"><script type=\"application\/json\" data-id=\"wpp-shortcode-inline-js\">{\"title\":\"Trending Posts\",\"limit\":\"3\",\"offset\":0,\"range\":\"custom\",\"time_quantity\":\"124\",\"time_unit\":\"day\",\"freshness\":\"1\",\"order_by\":\"views\",\"post_type\":\"post\",\"pid\":\"\",\"exclude\":\"\",\"cat\":\"\",\"taxonomy\":\"category\",\"term_id\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"shorten_title\":{\"active\":false,\"length\":0,\"words\":false},\"post-excerpt\":{\"active\":false,\"length\":0,\"keep_format\":false,\"words\":false},\"thumbnail\":{\"active\":true,\"build\":\"predefined\",\"width\":\"240\",\"height\":\"160\"},\"rating\":false,\"stats_tag\":{\"comment_count\":false,\"views\":false,\"author\":false,\"date\":{\"active\":false,\"format\":\"F j, Y\"},\"category\":false,\"taxonomy\":{\"active\":false,\"name\":\"category\"}},\"markup\":{\"custom_html\":true,\"wpp-start\":\"&lt;ul class=&quot;wpp-list wpp-cardview&quot;&gt;\",\"wpp-end\":\"&lt;\\\/ul&gt;\",\"title-start\":\"&lt;h4 class=&quot;widget-title&quot;&gt;\",\"title-end\":\"&lt;\\\/h4&gt;\",\"post-html\":\"&lt;li&gt;{thumb} {title} {stats}&lt;\\\/li&gt;\"},\"theme\":{\"name\":\"\"}}<\/script><div class=\"wpp-shortcode-placeholder\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69ee4e48765f3\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row article-image\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px;

I think it\u2019s very difficult to say that to a person coming here. When somebody immigrates to another place, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re trying to wash away their memories.
