Geraldo Cadava’s op-ed on “Florida’s Right Turn On Immigration” published in The New Yorker
May 8, 2023
Professor of history Geraldo Cadava has been published in The New Yorker. Cadava’s op-ed, Florida’s Right Turn On Immigration, details the state’s stricter and stricter immigration legislation through the lens of an immigration attorney there.
“The past few years have been hard for an immigration attorney in Florida,” Cadava writes. “Governor Ron DeSantis’s recent immigration proposals—if or, more likely, when they take effect—will be more of the same.”
Cadava is a historian of the United States and Latin America who focuses on Latinos in the United States and the borderlands between Mexico and the U.S. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, Cadava came to Northwestern after finishing degrees at Yale University (Ph.D., 2008) and Dartmouth College (B.A., 2000).
