Hidetaka Hirota
Hidetaka Hirota is an immigration historian at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in the history of U.S. immigration policies. He has drawn parallels between contemporary immigration restrictions and historical policies, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act and other country-specific quotas that created racial hierarchies in desirability among immigrants. Hirota's insights contribute to the understanding of how current immigration debates reflect long-standing patterns of exclusion based on nationality and race.
