    In this article, Barraclough argues that the objections animal


    welfare activists had on the treatment of horses by charros
    was joined by nativist who used the circumstances to create
    the image of the "threatening" Mexican to American culture,
    which was used to help support deportation. Barraclough
    examines the bills that banned "horse-tripping" in California
    and in Arizona and how it played a role in constructing the
    illegality of immigrants in the US.
    I think it's important to point out there parallels between
    the construction of an image and certain events that are
    occurring in politics and the mass media because recognizing
    them can lead to the realization that the negative images
    being collectively projective are not completely true at all.
    Recognizing this also brings attention to the way this tactic
    was used in the past to criminalize other races. As an
    example, this reminds me of the criminalization of colored
    people with "the war on drugs". There was (and is) still a

    hidden racism behind the outlawing of drugs. For example,


    the outlawing of opium was directed at the Chinese, who
    were known to have the habit of smoking opium. The same
    pattern follows the outlawing of cocaine with the Black
    community and marijuana with the Mexican community.
    Pointing out these patterns in history also recognizes how
    blatantly these systems favor white Americans and how that
    privilege both benefits them and harms people of color in the
    past and in present day, considering those laws are still in
    effect and target people of color.
