Abstract
ABSTRACTResearch on Islamophobia has focused on how Muslims have been subjected to new and old forms of policing and surveillance. Very few studies have focused on the potential of Islamophobia to affect non-Muslim groups. This study addresses the role that Islamophobia has played in introducing changes to the management of US immigration and, in particular, how Latinos/as as a group have been affected and further racialized as a result. This article draws on primary and secondary sources to illustrate how Islamophobia and discourses of terrorism have been used to justify militarized border security and immigration agendas. We find that the implementation of Islamophobia to matters of border security and immigration have affected Latinos/as in a non-traditional way beginning in the 1990s and exacerbated in the 2000s – a manner in which Muslim populations have historically been racialized in the US.
