Migrant imaginaries

Migrant imaginaries can speak to anti-immigration/migration sentiment because it creates a space where discussion can flourish.  It is a able to create that space because it presents certain selected stories from a different point of view than most people are used to.  It also uses a multidisciplinary approach by using such things as stories, media, and poetry which reaches deeper into the listeners mind that just talking about statistics.  It may also close off certain groups from hearing the message though because it excludes a lot as well, but that is to be expected with such a wide variety of things that could be discussed.  In regards to land and boarders it tries to speak to anti-immigration by saying the boarder crossed them, but that is the result of  losing a war, some would argue, and that makes their point would have less of an impact.  So in that way it can speak to anti-immigration sentiment, but it ain't lis'nen.
