Abstract
This chapter examines how particular notions of sexuality, gender, and anti-Black animus coalesced in the formation of U.S. immigration policy in the 1980s and 1990s. The author offers a new interpretation of this period by examining the major policy shifts alongside influential but lesser-known judicial decisions and executive orders that barred sexual nonconforming immigrants and others the state deemed dangerous and objectionable. Understanding the past four decades requires not only an appreciation for how immigration policy dovetailed with U.S. foreign policy interests but also how shifts in political culture, including changes in the LGBTQ, feminist, Black, and Latinx movements, brought about change.
