By Madeline Marshall Verified, Masako Melissa Hirsch| Vox Verified Immigration looked very different before 1996, when President Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). The law was supposed to stop undocumented immigration by increasing enforcement and punishing people for being in the US undocumented. Instead, it did the opposite. Before 1996, Mexican immigrants who came to the US unlawfully were about 50 percent likely to return to Mexico within a year.
By Ranjani Chakraborty, Masako Melissa Hirsch| Vox Verified In the 1960s and 1970s, New York City faced a sharp economic decline and white flight. Buildings were abandoned or burned down, particularly in the city’s lower-income neighborhoods. Communities faced mass disinvestment — and what was left was urban decay. It was around this time that Hattie Carthan, a 64-year-old woman living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, began a grassroots effort to transform that urban decay into green space.
