Abstract

Abstract:Joseph Carens in his 2013 book Ethics of Immigration argues we should not criminalize undocumented migrants. Instead, we should view them as irregular immigrants who are entitled to some general human rights. This article focuses on Caren’s discussion of criminalization in light of recent scholarship by John Marquez and Natalie Cisneros pertaining to the Latina/o border death toll, generalized violence, and discourses on undocumented pregnant migrante females as multiplying rats and anchor babies. This article argues that simply relying on a democratic state model to understand the realities of border militarization is not sufficient because it does not perform some of the explanatory functions performed by other non-ideal theories. By synthesizing the views of Cisneros and Marquez, this article distinguishs thick and thin senses of excessive border enforcement and outlines a notion of the racial/sexual state of expendability as a way of making better sense of these violent realities.

非存在区刑事定罪与无证农民工身份认同

摘要：Joseph Carens在2013年出版的《移民伦理》一书中认为，我们不应该将无证移民定为犯罪。相反，我们应该将他们视为非正常移民，他们有权享有一些一般人权。根据约翰·马尔克斯和娜塔莉·西斯内罗斯最近关于拉丁裔/非裔边境死亡人数、普遍暴力以及将无证怀孕移民女性作为繁殖鼠和锚婴儿的论述，本文重点讨论了卡琳对刑事定罪的讨论。本文认为，仅仅依靠民主国家模式来理解边境军事化的现实是不够的，因为它没有发挥其他非理想理论所具有的一些解释功能。通过综合Cisneros和Marquez的观点，本文区分了过度边境执法的厚重感和单薄感，并概述了可消费性的种族/性状态的概念，以此更好地理解这些暴力现实。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
