PART II — The First Exclusions: Labor, Race, and Fear

Before the border wall, before the checkpoints, there were laws written to keep certain people out.

In the mid‑1800s, the U.S. began banning poor immigrants and targeting Chinese laborers with fear‑driven policies.

These laws weren’t about safety. They were about control. About deciding whose labor was wanted and whose presence was not.

This was the beginning of racialized immigration policy — a pattern that would repeat for generations.

My friend Haroon, he sweeps the leaves in the sweltering heat every day, just as his fellow Bengali brethren toil to build the impressive skyscrapers and condos, not to mention all the other 4 million immigrant workers in Malaysia. I plan to make a film about the Bangladeshi migrant workers I have met to hear their stories and give them a voice. Haroon told me he feels ignored, invisible, but I say hello, I make my children talk to him, we speak Bangla and it makes him smile. What Trump is doing is dehumanising a certain sector of our global society making them feel more marginalised than they already do by banning entry. The U.S. was built on the labour of immigrants. His policy is divisive and shortsighted. Yeah there are terrorists in our midst but it's a small minority, the vast majority of immigrants, Muslim or otherwise, just want a 'better life' for their families, security, stability, prosperity, education isn't that what we all want? #immigrantworkers #trump #muslimban #sanchitaislam #pigmentexplosion
