  • Against the Immigrant, for the Law
    Against the Immigrant, For the Law: An analysis of the “problem” presented in restrictive state-level immigration law in Georgia by LEANNE PURDUM (Under the Direction of AMY J. ROSS) ABSTRACT This thesis explores the immigrant and the role of state laws in constructing the image of the immigrant as a problem, specifically in Georgia House Bill 87, passed in Georgia in 2011. It uses qualitative research methods to investigate the politics of restrictive immigration law in a state with both a market for unskilled workers and nativist desires to protect the state from ‘unwanted’ immigrants. It concludes that a popular anti-federal government discourse hides a more complex relationship where the state of Georgia (lead by the Republican Party) uses imagined federal failure to legitimate claims to state level powers. With this power, the state law employs a racialized/ethnicized language that constructs the immigrant as “illegal”, poor, uneducated, and Hispanic, and blames the immigrant for the economic problems in the state. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the law aims to control the social territory of the state and increase the already tense everyday life of the undocumented immigrant.

Saldívar, Chair This dissertation takes an interdisciplinary approach and situates nation-building, ordinary culture, and racial formation within the context of the immigration debates during the 1980s and 1990s in the United States. Specifically, I argue that the historical and discursive significance of the term illegal alien stems from the ways in which society negotiates and challenges presupposed assumptions, privileges, rewards, and attitudes toward a segment of US society associated with undocumented immigration into the United States. The dissertation demonstrates the crisis the State faced in negotiating, on the one hand, the needs of capital (e.g., the availability of cheap labor) and on the other the social dilemmas of enforcing equitable immigration reform (e.g., the Immigrant Reform and Control Act of 1986 and Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996).

  • When Westlaw Fuels Ice Surveillance: Legal Ethics in the Era of Big Data Policing
    LAMDAN_PUBLISHERPROOF_052119.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 7/25/19 12:46 PM WHEN WESTLAW FUELS ICE SURVEILLANCE: LEGAL ETHICS IN THE ERA OF BIG DATA POLICING SARAH LAMDAN¥ ABSTRACT Legal research companies are selling surveillance data and services to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) and other law enforcement agencies. This Article discusses ethical issues that arise when lawyers buy and use legal research services sold by the same vendors responsible for building ICE’s surveillance systems. As the legal profession collectively pays millions of dollars for computer assisted legal research services, lawyers should consider whether doing so in the era of big data policing compromises their confidentiali- ty requirements and their obligation to supervise third party vendors. With new companies developing legal research services, lawyers have more options than ever and can choose to purchase legal research services from socially responsi- ble vendors. I.

  • Possible Criminal Activity Afoot:” the Politics of Race and Boundary-Making in the United States Pacific Northwest Borderland
    “Possible Criminal Activity Afoot:” The Politics of Race and Boundary-Making in the United States Pacific Northwest Borderland Leigh Barrick1 Department of Geography University of British Columbia [email protected] Abstract In northwestern Washington State, the United States Border Patrol expanded its operations inland from the international boundary with Canada in 2007. The expansion resulted in the frequent questioning and detention of community members who are Latino, non-timber forest workers, and people of color until such practices became less common by 2012. These tactics reflect a broader pattern of racial profiling through inland policing implemented across the US border with Canada. In this paper, I make the case for a critical race approach to understanding bordering practices in settings coded as ‘peaceful’ or without racial tensions. Towards this end, I analyze how racialized exclusions in northwestern Washington are articulated across scales, from local forest management, to federal policy. Further, I trace the relational construction of the western US borderlands with Canada and Mexico – spaces connected by a common heritage of conquest, although generally not conceptualized as such. My argument is that racial thinking is inherent to the production and maintenance of United States borders. A critical race approach is crucial at a time when practices carried out in the name of ‘homeland security’ threaten the wellbeing of borderland communities. 1 Published under Creative Commons licence: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works Possible Criminal Activity Afoot 900 Introduction If, as Gloria Anzaldúa (1987, 3) so eloquently put it, “The US-Mexican border es una herida abierta where the Third World grates against the First and bleeds,” then the US-Canada boundary is perhaps a wound that has scarred over.

  • CHOLULA, NATALIE JASMIN, MA Social Participation Of
    CHOLULA, NATALIE JASMIN, M.A. Social Participation of Racialized Immigrants Living Under Crimmigration Law in North Carolina. (2020) Directed by Dr. Cindy Brooks Dollar. 79 pp. Restrictive immigration policies in the United States limit entry into the country while also limiting access to social goods and engagement inside the country. Throughout U.S. history, immigration policies limited entry to people based on race and country of origin through justifications of perceived worthiness to maintain a White nation. More recently, the U.S. has merged criminal law with immigration law, referred to as crimmigration, which has criminalized civil violations and provides monetary incentives for the detainment and deportation of noncitizens. Crimmigration is a multifaceted concept that consists of color-blind racist ideologies, negative portrayal of immigrants of color by the media, and psychosocial consequences of law. The White dominant group perceives immigrants of color as a threat, therefore supports policies that eliminate the perceived threat. I rely on racial-ethnic threat theory to frame immigrant’s experiences of perceived threat in Alamance County, North Carolina— a historically White, rural community. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, I inquire about the daily life experiences of immigrants of color living in Alamance County. Results show crimmigration law socially restricts the lives of immigrants and their families, makes immigrants feel fearful, and makes immigrants find ways to cope with fear, discrimination, and uncertainty.

(AFSC In-depth Report) Declaring a state of national emergency this February, the Trump administration has secured the budget for further militarizing the U.S.-Mexico border. Last month, we saw hundreds of companies at the Border Security Expo in San Antonio, TX compete to offer more military-grade surveillance and data systems to the Department of Homeland Security. Using larger and larger shared databases, the insatiable hunger for the surveillance and monitoring of immigrant communities now covers hundreds of millions of individuals inside and outside the U.S. The border wall is already here. Since the 1990s, walls, fences, and other physical barriers have been constructed along hundreds of miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.

  • The Minuteman Corps of California: Civilian Border Patrols
    © COPYRIGHT by Devin T. Molina 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE MINUTEMAN CORPS OF CALIFORNIA: CIVILIAN BORDER PATROLS AND THE PRODUCTION OF POWER AND DIFFERENCE AT THE MEXICO-U.S. BORDER BY Devin T. Molina ABSTRACT In 2005, civilian border patrols gained increased popularity with the emergence of the Minuteman Project and the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC). Unlike other anti-immigration organizations, the Minutemen focus their efforts primarily on conducting armed civilian patrols on the U.S.-Mexico border, and to a lesser extent the U.S.-Canada border. This dissertation provides an ethnography of one such civilian border patrol—the Minuteman Corps of California (MCC)—detailing their activities, reasons for conducting armed patrols, and their developing relationship with official border policing agencies. This dissertation shows that individuals who joined the Minutemen generally did so because they experienced feelings of political disenchantment and physical and economic insecurity due to the political, economic, and cultural changes brought about by neoliberalism and transnational flows of people, ideas, and capital. Most blamed non- white immigrants from Mexico and to a lesser extent Asia and the Middle East for ii spreading poverty, government dependence, crime, and terrorism, and for disempowering white American voters. While the Minutemen blamed the government for failing to protect U.S. citizens from the assumed perils of immigration by people of color, in conducting armed border patrols, they also became dependent upon a responsive and cooperative state to achieve their individual and organizational goals. Lacking official police powers, civilian border patrols are dependent upon the state in ways that contradict their view of a largely indifferent and irresponsible government.
