o'The advancements in U.S immigration policies after 91112Targeting the
Muslimst'
In this paper, I will shed light on how the U.S immigration policies have changed
since the tragtc event of 9/ll, and how so far no one is sure as to who played major role
in that but racial profiling has been long done (Akram 2002, Johnson 2004). I will
analyse various research articles which have presented how Muslims in general after the
9/ll eventhad specifically been targeted and how they were used as scapegoatsfor Law
enforcement agencies to cover up their lack of counter terrorist strategies and lack of
criminal law enforcement(Deflem 2002, Miller 2005). The supporting evidence gives us
Asians etc) have been targeted in such vast Multicultural countries and how Immigration
policies are not improving their condition and rather deteriorating them (Richmond,
2000). Richmond's (2000) research proves that immigration policies are more in the
patriotism and pride rather than dealing with these situations logically. The failure to
cope up with the increasing amounts of immigrants in the country and the outdated or
usually prejudiced immigration policies state how racism is being promoted in the rurme
of Multiculturalism.
The main objective of my paper is to examine how after glll Muslims or more
multicultural country) have been racially discriminated and how only those out of the
hundreds of dif|erent races have been blamed for such an event (Elassar, 2004) Although
there has been no proof as to who masterminded such a disastrous event but there are
various conflict theories which present that it could have been a self motive for the
American Government to take such a drastic and destructive stance. My research paper
would critically analyse and examine how racial discrimination in general and
specifically for the Muslims has become a political agendaand how it is getting worse,
