    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This paper will explore the history of ableism in immigration, grounds of inadmissibility that affect disabled immigrants with a specific focus on public charge, and other obstacles faced by disabled immigrants, all while emphasizing that eugenics is still ongoing and perpetuated through the American immigration system.\nI am both disabled and an immigrant, so this paper is personal. However, I became disabled after immigrating and therefore did not have to navigate the process with a disability. The American immigration system is broken and was designed to exclude disabled immigrants. This is contradictory to the supposed American ideal of welcoming everyone, including the tired, poor and huddled masses mentioned on the Statue of Liberty. The United States needs a major restructure creating a system more aligned with the social model of disability, which would recognize that there is nothing inherent about disability that leads to disabled people becoming a public charge; rather, it is due to society’s ableism.",
