Juan Crow

Juan Crow is a neologism that was coined by journalist Roberto Lovato.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It first gained popularity when he used it in an article for the Nation magazine in 2008.[7] The term criticizes contemporary immigration enforcement laws by comparing them to Jim Crow laws, and has since become popular among immigration activists.

Laws

The term Juan Crow has been used to describe immigration statutes in the United States.[8][9][10]

Laws in Arizona,[11] Alabama,[8] and Georgia[7] and Texas[12][13] have been considered Juan Crow laws.

California's Proposition 187 was considered a Juan Crow law by immigration activists. It required citizenship screening of residents and denied social services like health care and public education to undocumented immigrants.[14]

As an era

The Juan Crow era refers to "the matrix of laws, social customs, economic institutions and symbolic systems enabling the physical and psychic isolation needed to control and exploit undocumented immigrants."[15]
