UC Berkeley Course Blames ‘Racial Superiority’ for Trump's Immigration Policy

The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) offers an undergraduate course on immigration policy that characterizes American immigration policy as rooted in a theory of “racial superiority” and actively promotes the “Abolish ICE” movement.

Campus Reform, a project of the Leadership Institute and a conservative watchdog group monitoring higher education, obtained the course syllabi for the Spring 2024 and 2025 semesters. The course is set to be offered again in Spring 2026.

The syllabus reads: 

We often hear that America is a ‘nation of immigrants.’ But this representation of the United States does not explain why some are presumed to belong in the United States, and others are not. Why are non-White Latinos and Asian Americans so often considered ‘alien citizens,’ as American citizens who are nonetheless presumed to be foreign? And why are those of European descent assumed to belong, regardless of their citizenship?

Under "Learning Objectives," the syllabus states that students will "Gain an understanding of the basic legal framework of American immigration law," and "an understanding of the ways in which ideas about race, gender, and sexuality have shaped U.S. immigration law and policies, through historical accounts of the specific experiences of Asian-American, European American, Latinx, Native/Indigenous, and Black/Afro-descendant people in the U.S."

The course, Legal Studies 132AC: Immigration and Citizenship, includes required readings such as "It’s Time to Abolish ICE" and "Trump Wants to Take Away Your Citizenship." These works characterize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a “racist deportation force” whose mission and practices are rooted in white supremacy.

There is not a single required reading that neutrally examines or defends ICE.

The article, "It's Time to Abolish ICE," includes comments from University of Louisville Law Professor Dan Canon, who calls ICE “an agency devoted almost solely to cruelly and wantonly breaking up families,” and says it...

Theory? I thought it was empirical evidence …

We wouldn’t approve of illegal immigration even if it was from the whitest country on earth. Race and skin color really has nothing to do with it.

The Ivory Towers of the University Left only know the Race Card. The Race Card is pulled when they can't explain why the Asians do so well:

It’s a real PITA ever since the black gave the honky kids permission to throw their race card.

Americans ARE a superior race, hence why they come here...to join the race. But illegally.

Fix your own country in the mean time, making it a superior race.

The criminal illegal alien scum crossing our boarders are the cast offs of mexico, central and south America and the third world as well as china, africa, india and many enemy moslem nations and groups paid for by soros like billionaires using their money to attack the American people in an undeclared war. And to be sure it is a war with real causalities (VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS MEMORIAL) http://ojjpac.org/memorial.asp.

These cowardly attackers are assisted by our own quislings, collaborators who are paid and self retarded idealistic fellow travelers. Many are communists, socialists and or just plain fascists.

That includes the woke, demoRATs, liberals and the NGO’s that until recently were funded by usaid and the democratic party.
