Abstract

This article examines undocumented people’s everyday lived experience in the United States where their legal status is criminalized. It asks how they live with constant threat and surveillance. It highlights their strategies of invisibility as well as their generous contributions to their communities. It argues that these acts of “community caretaking” are acts of “hospitality” that demonstrate their “good citizenship.” Every time undocumented people conduct “know your rights” workshops, they model citizenship in action. The article also explores the other side of the daily equation to stay safe and spotlights undocumented people’s encounters with law enforcement agents. Agents do not act in lockstep, but rather make decisions in split seconds that can change undocumented people’s lives forever. Drawing from ethnographic field research in migrant communities inside the “100-mile border zone” as well as deep in the US interior, the article argues that “border policing” happens far from the border.
无证人员(英文)反边境警务
这篇文章检视无证人士在美国的日常生活经验,他们的合法身份是被定罪的。它询问他们如何在持续的威胁和监视下生活。它突出了他们的隐形策略以及他们对社区的慷慨贡献。它认为,这些“照顾社区”的行为是“好客”的行为,表明他们是“好公民”。每次无证人士举办“了解你的权利”研讨会时,他们都是公民行动的典范。这篇文章还探讨了保持安全的日常等式的另一面,并重点报道了非法移民与执法人员的遭遇。执法人员不会步调一致地采取行动,而是在瞬间做出决定,这可能永远改变无证移民的生活。根据对“100英里边境地带”以及美国内陆移民社区的民族志实地研究,文章认为“边境警务”发生在远离边境的地方。
