Abstract
The article focuses on the historical and legislative journey of Oregon becoming the first state to pass a "sanctuary" law in 1987, framed as an anti-profiling measure to prevent local police from enforcing federal immigration mandates. Topics include the persistent racial profiling of Hispanic residents, the labor contributions of Mexican workers through programs such as the Bracero initiative, and the persistent political advocacy led by figures such as Rocky Barilla.
